STATE LOST CHANCE AT LIQUOR REVENUE Counties With Stores Won’t Agree in 1937 To Give Them Up Hnil.v l»i*|*M«eli IJUMMMt. In The Sir Waiter Hole.. |Cv J. V MASKER VII.L Raleigh, Jan. 20.—The State lost its one and only chance to get the profit from the sale of liquor in North Caro lina when the 1935 General Assembly refused to pass a Statewide liquor control and liquor stores law. it is now conceded by most observers here. For the county liquor stores arc prov ing so profitable to the 18 counties now operating the stores under the 1935 acts, that the belief in most cir cles is that it will now be impossible to pass any Statewide liquor control act that will not give at least 50 per cent of the revenue from such stores to the counties in which they are lo cated. Others believe that from now on the counties will insist upon get ting all the revenue from the stores, even though they might submit to igtate control through a single State ABC board. If the 1935 General Assembly had enacted a Statewide liquor control and liquor stores bill, providing that the profits from the sale of liquor in the State stores go into the gen eral fund of the State, it could have assured itself of at least $3,500,000 a year of additional revenue after the first year, it is now generally con ceded.

Raleigh, Jan. 20—Instead of being able to reduce taxes, the 1937 General Assembly will have to find a minimum of $12,500,000 a year in additional re venue for the general fund alone if appropriations for only two objects arc materially increased, these two be ing schools and old age benefits, it was pointed out here today by those who have been doing some figuring. This means that where the 1935 Gen eral Assembly appropriated approxi mately $30,000,000 a year for this and next year, that the 1937 General As sembly will have to find revenue with which to provide appropriations of $12,500,000 a year for the next two years, if it docs nothing more than make the normal and necessary in crease for regular State purposes and adds $5,000,000 more for schools and lor old age pensions. fcltool Drive Begun It. i.s already conceded that the (Continued on Page Six.)

Jan. 20.—Can a. blanket neutrality act work against the best interests of the United States? Yes—in certain instances. At least, so says the Foreign Policy Associa tion, which presents these interesting views of two of its observers, Allen W. Dulles and Hamilton Fish Arm strong: "The American people may be ready to accept sacrifices of trade and profits where to continue trade would be to risk war. Certainly they should be. But they would not long tolerate a sweeping prohibition ap plied indiscriminately in situations where its necessity was not obvious. Many cases are conceivable in which a blanket embargo, crippling to our commerce and Adding to unemploy ment. would not serve any directly useful purpose. Often, too, it might work injustice, as countries which had armed themselves to the teeth and which possessed raw materials and industries would automatically be given a decisive advantage over coun tries less well prepared and less well endowed by nature.” DANGEROUS FORCES "Bet us not forget,” add Messers. Dulles and Armstrong, “that in two parts of the world today forces are in motion which potentially are far more dangerous, so far as the main tenance of American peace goes, than an Italian war in Africa. Those who advocate permanent and mandatory legislation which would obligate the president when hostilities are in pro gress anywhere to stop the export of all materials susceptible of being use ful in military operations, should con sider what would be the result of ap plying it in a conflict where Japan or Germany was a party and the (Continued on Page Five.)
