PAGE TWO BIMIM ■ 11 John Bull Soon To Start Propaganda To Get. U. Si ; Into League P **—— By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, April 16.—The latest campaign to get Uncle Sam into the League of Nations has not made much progress yet, but it will attract in creasing attention as advocates of the plan get more and more effectively into action. The suggestion is British and the British are brilliant propagandists. They may not attain their objective in' this instance, but it never is safe to bet that they will not get what they want when they make up their minds to do so. They will make a for midable effort anyway. American public opinion undoubted ly assesses the league as a fizzle at present. However, American public op inion was dead against going into the' World War when it started. Never theless the Allies needed us, the Brit ish did the propagandizing and in due coufse we were converted. JOHN BULL’S REASONING As usual, John Bull’s reasoning is sound —from his standpoint. He is in a dangerous jam on his (side of the ocean. His interest is against Italy’s in Ethiopia, where Mussolini evidently has practically won his war with Haile Selassie and seems likely to gain control of the Nile headwaters, threatening British-controlled Egypt’s irrigation system, besides digging him self in at a strategic point on Bri tain’s road to the Far East. With France’s support the British probably could checkmate Italy, but the French are unwilling to offend the Italians, believing that they may re quire their help against Germany. Moreover, also, as insurance against German aggression, they are tied up in an alliance with Russia, which is one of John Bull’s bugbears. By force of circumstances, Britain now is mildly pro-German, but Ger many has not sufficiently recovered from the last war to be a very de pendable partner. BRITAIN'S PLIGHT John Bull, then, is perilously almost alone in the midst of an ominous looking situation. What he wants is, not so much Uncle Sam’s participa tion in the League of Nations, as Un cle Sam for an ally. And, together in the league, John Bull and Uncle Sam doubtless would be' a party against the other league members, by reason of common tra ditious and a common language. If it came to an intra-league clash, pre sumably they would be united against the remainder of the league member ship—and it is quite possible that Un cle-Samuel would be the deciding fac tor, as he was in the World Wan McDonald’s Speed Worrying Rivals (Continued irom i-age One.> forces. It is not making the manag ers of either Clyde R. Hoey or A. H. (Sandy) Graham stand up and cheer, since Valentine is conceded to be as able a political strategist as there is and to know Eastern North Carolina politics as well as any one in the State. It was Valentine as much as any one who succeeded in pushing the campaign of R. T. Fountain to its peak in 1932, in which Fountain was almost nominated in the second pri mary. It was likewise Valentine, as manager for Harold D. Cooley, who two years ago routed the supposedly unbeatable organization of George Ross Pou here in the fourth congres sional district and succeeded in elect ing Cooley to Congress. That the appointment of Valentine as associate manager of r the cam paign and as chief assistant to Cam paign Manager W. L. Lumpkin, is a distinct gain for the McDonald forces and a real wallop to both Hoey and Graham in the eastern counties, is tgenerally iconceded. For Valentine is not only regarded as an able poli tical organizer with first-hand know ledge of conditions in most of the eastern counties, but also is admit ted to be an expert money getter. For while the McDonald campaign now shows signs of having more money behind it than ever before—he has already signed contracts for 13 radio broadcasts to cost about $5,000 be tween now and June 6—the acquisi tion of Valentine is regarded as in dicating that it will have still more campaign funds available. The belief k that McDonald can and will step on the gast of his campaign Packard from now on. Grissom Expects To Be Governor (Continue* from Page One.) attitude.

On the other hand, if eith er Hoey or Graham should be nomi nated, the Republican leaders believe that a very large number of the Mc- Donald Democrats would vote for Grissom rather than for the Democra tic nominee, since in many respects the platforms of Grissom and McDon ald are almost identical, in that both ahe caustic critics of past Democra tic administrations, both oppose the i" ■ ' ' ' ' ’ •' ■ • " . -• • . . .. . ■. . .. . ; i . • : . ’ * **’v ~ ‘ ♦/ **l * - * * —. p - * •-* : : .y : ; ; V:‘ xyi Today. . the President of the United.
