Frenchmen on Trial Trial or' former Premier Daladiei of France and others who weue in high places in the former republic prior to and during the earlier days of the war is to be begun by the re tain government, now a puppet of the German conquerors of that most recent victim of Nazi might. Un less the old general and tnose func tioning with him in the conduct of French affairs under the new order have t >erienced a more complete change heart than seems possible, it is reasonable to believe that then hand is being forced by German}. In entering the war last fall. Daladier was acting in concert with Great Britain only as a means of stopping Hitler and of saving France and other parts of Europe from the fate that has "befallen them m the face of inefficiency to say the least, and probably treason in high places. Had the fortunes of war been favor able to French arms and resulted in the overthrow of the Hitler regime, Petain and his crowd would be among those most anxious to accept the plaudits of their countrymen and, the world for their achievements, which would have been heralded abroad as the zenith of patriotism. What is about to happen to these prewar statesmen is being dictated by the German high command. If Petain and his co-laborers ir the changed France were not as eager supporters of the war progiam as Deladier and those now accused w ith him, word to that effect has not come out of France, either before or after the blitzkrieg. The former premier was not a traitor to his people in leading France into war. France had lived for years in the fear of German at tack. else why the famed but useless Maginot fortifications? And the war declaration of last September was considered fne best course ot avoid ing what has now happened. No one then had any idea that Hit ler was prepared to move so rapidly and to achieve the marvels he has accomplished in so short a time. There was every reason to suppose that France and Britain would some how be able to block his advance. They, or at least France, did not, but that in itself docs not brand Daladier and the others as traitors. They did what they believed was best and proper for th" republic. And the move today to try them to mo*e out punishment for trumped up charges is the compelling hand of German ruthlessness and is not the soul of republican France. It is but the continuation of Nazi methods that have been followed without de viation in other countries that lay in the path of Hitlers ambitions for world—or at least European-domi nation. Japan, we read, plans to continue vigorously the prosecution of hei ■war against the Chinese. Isn't there an old Confucius saying about. "H( who rides a tiger fears to dismount"? One thing the natives of those little "Mtic countries now taken over Russia won't need to worry about < iow their elections in the future are going to turn out. The great Burma road, it appears, will continue to run from Rangoon to Mandalay—but only by permis sion o? the Japanese government. A hitch-hiking artist is doing scenes of the country through which he passes. They, naturally, shoulc be thumb-nail sketches. After Tobacco Firms ! Charges against the so-callcd "big I four" tobacco firms by the Depart- i ment of Justice are not the first l such steps leading to prosecution for i alleged violations of the Sherman! i anti-trust act. Back in 1911, it will > be remembered, the government won . a decision in the Supreme Court ord- i ering dissolution of the old Ameri- ; can Tobacco Company as a trust, i The tobacco industry at the pres- ( ent time is not a single corporate < entity in the sense that it was thirty! i years ago. But the government is j i preparing to go into the courts to try i to prove that it is again operating | < as a monopoly in restraint of trade, j and that tin- major manufacturers have some sort of understanding as to prices they will pay for the raw | leaf and likewise prices they will ; charge tor the finished product. ■ Reference in the allegations to con- ( ditions that deny the farmers their fair and reasonable bargaining rights strike along the line that has drawn much comment for years l>y observers of the^auction .selling system. The 1 fanner, tu be sure, does not have to let his offerings go at the price set by ' the sales crew as it passes down the long rows of golden weed. He can turn the tag. and frequently does, and sometimes even takes the leal back home to await a more pro • pitious selling day. which he always hopes for. But it is a fact, however, that there is little chance for him to sell his crop by any other than the auction method. And the seller at auction, whether tobacco, bank rupt stocks, real estate, antique furniture or what not, usually is as sumed to be willing to trade with the highest bidder. This, of course, is no guarantee of the merits of the system. It simply is the manner of carrying on over a period of so many years that hardly any one remembers anything dif ferent. Perhaps it is not an ideal procedure. Evidently the Depart ment of Justice has concluded it is not perfect in every detail. The big companies will naturally j fight back. The litigation may Be J long drawn out. as like suits fre quently are. But it would be our notion that the government will be persistent. A New Deal Department of Justice more often than not has i found lately that it has friends on a ; New Deal Supreme Court bench, j And it may be safely assumed at the > outset that neither side will drop I the issue until it reaches the highest ! tribunal. Victory Half Won Overwhelming approval of three- ( year tobacco control by growers in i last Saturday's referendum docs not j j solve completely the problem created ,( by surpluses and loss of foreign mar- j kets. That merely effects a check on recurring excesses of production.' Loss of cash that comes from j generous tobacco sales, in both ; quantity and price, creates a situa- | tion that control alone cannot and i does not solve. Something must be j substituted for this void. i The answer is the old. old story : of crop diversification and living at. • home. Many growers have long since l learned that lesson to their great { advantage. All should, and agricul-11 tare in our part of the country will 1 not achieve that freedom and stabil- J ity it deserves until all. or most, i1 growers fall in line with it. ( There never was a bettev time and 5 perhaps never more urgent reason | for tackling this bad situation than the present. With thousands of ! acres of land hitherto put to tobacco now or soon to be deprived of that use, it can be turned to profit with other crops. I f rom foreign couruucs ure coming; ■ hints that food may be scarce this j i winter. It is certain that with so ! many millions of men under arms and ready to destroy and dissipate resources of the nations, the occupa tions which formerly engaged them are going to suffer now since they have left the plow, the factory and • the office. Many sections of Europe : that are now engaged in lighting or armed to the teeth in anticipation of it are agricultural regions. Produc tion of crops is being left largely to old men, children and women, and that means that yields will be less, but that there are still about as many mouths to teed. This, then, should offer one op portunity for utilizing American farm acres that are no longer being devoted to money crops. There is no prospect of a food shortage in this country unless there should be widespread crop failures. That is a matter of weather, which , no human can control. But there I must be food if humanity is to sur | vive. It will be a grave mistake if the I idea becomes general that crop con- ! trol is a panacea for all of our ills, j Certainly it is not. However good and appropriate it may be. there is ' the further duty to make idle acres ^ count. j Effects of Draft Ol" course universal conscription of American youth will change this na lon, as independent Senator Morris ilakes bom to proclaim. He thinks i will make oi inc United States a xiniv. oiiliy, anu in Uial we believe .o la rignt. Given top-llight ol'licials u control ol the government wno ti e war-minded, and they would j nake ol this country a sort ol "cock »l ihe roost' as Hitler lias made ol iermany. it is not easy to escape he tear that that may be a part ui neir complex in rushing the con scription bill through Congress, vhether the country wants or ap proves it or not. It takes time to make a soldier, ust as it takes time to build an air plane, a tank or a big gun. And if in adequate supply of man-power •an be had in no other way than by I .-oinpulsion, then we have come to hat and may as well make the most if it. But we have not yet been •onvinced that compulsory military .raining, otherwise known as con-1 cription, is the only way out ol our .-urrent emergency. When we arc ;o convinced, we shall be as heartily 11 favor of the plan as any one, pro vided always that it is not to be a permanent part of our American .vay of life. There would be little opposition if var were at our gates. There was ittie serious objection to it in the A'orld War. Admittedly those days tnd these are vastly different. But ve do not agree with Senator Minton 11 his claim that the people arc con vinced the emergency requires it. L'he senator's adherence to the idea nay be influenced by the views, mown to him, ol some higher up vhn are for the idea. roes of the proposal arc becoming | nore vocative than they have been, | tut they arc gaining strength and in luencc much more slowly than those i'ho arc straining every nerve to get lie bill into law before the rising idc overwhelms them. Public opin ,in generally moves slowly, and is [oing so now, which is all on the ' ide of the advocates of conscrip ion. Whatever opposition there may be, i here arc no signs now that it can J litch the sweep of the movement in j Vashington, both in Congress and i ut of it. 1 I * — - ■ U/\ I A miU-WtMlM llt'l iiuuviuivvo .... . las been eating onions for 65 years 11 order to attain longevity.

While a number of municipalities are finding trouble in financing their public libraries—it will be recalled what a todo there was in Charlotte when its library was closed tempor arily, and there is now the case of Asheboro whose library must be closed by September 1 unless funds are made available—Henderson gives a demonstration in fiscal agility in which necessity of adequate support for this public facility gets a peculiar sort of recognition. The Henderson city council this week made its usual appropriation of $3,000 to the library, despite the state regulation that library operation cannot be held es sential, and is not a proper use of public monies without a vote of the people. But the Hendersonians sim ply decide to provide the cash from other sources than ad valorem tax ation, such as court receipts and the like. Of course contribution from any public fund is a charge against the ad valorem taxation, because the equivalent must be raised by direct taxation of property. But that didn't hold the Hender sonians, as maybe it shouldn't. The Supreme court stands on its position that a public library is not a public necessity. It's a public necessity so far as the Henderson city dads arc concerned, and maybe, eventually, as it becomes more evident what "public necessity" means in the pub lic mind, by such manifestations, the august jurists will decide to take another look into their dictionary.

What Do You Know About i North Carolina? i By FRED H. MAT 1. When did North Carolina lose live congressmen by reapportion ment? 2. When was the dollar first used as a unit of money in North Caro l lina? 1 3. Why did Congressman Duncan McFarland contest the election of John Culpepper to congress in 1806? 4. How many lieutenant governors have been elected to the office of ' governor? I 5. What is (he smallest incorporat I ed town in North Carolina? 1 6. Who is the oldest member of ! the North Carolina Supreme Court? ANSWERS. I 1. Following the census of 1830 ■ North Carolina's number of congrcss i men was reduced from thirteen to nine. During the next twenty years the state Inst two more congressmen, j Since that time there has been a slow increase. 2. In 1775 when the state voted an issue of $125,000 in bills of credit to l aid in financing the Revolutionary War. 3. Culpepper had been declared • over Congressman McFarland, who ! h;id already served one term. Mc ' Farland contested the election. The Congressional committee found ir ji regularities in the election and de | c I a red the scat vacant. Another clcc I tion was called and Culpepper again was the winner, and was again seat ed in the same congress that a few weeks before had unseated him. 4. Since 1868 when the office of Lieutenant governor was created on ly three lieutenant governors have been elected to the office of gover nor. Two of these. Governor Todd R. Caldwell ;md Governor Thos. J. Jarvis had already become gover nors to fill vacancies. They were electcd to succeed themselves. Max Gardner, lieutenant governor under Governor Rickett. 1917 to 1921, ran for the Democratic nomination in 1920. but was defeated. It was not until 1928 the nomination was given him without contest. 5. North Carolina's smallest incor porated town is Dellview. Gaston county, with a 1940 population of eight. In 1930 Dellview h;id a popu lation of ten. This loss of twenty percent in population, in all prob ability. will place Dellview as the heaviest loser among incorporated towns of the state. 6.

I YOI TH LOSFS HAND WHEN GUN GOES OFF Oxford, July 26.—Claude Clark, 17 of near Oxford suffered loss of almost his entire left hand this morning about 11 o'clock when both barrels of a shot gnn exploded. He was on the edge ov a corn field , watching crows when the accident j occurred. The young man was alone in the field. Following the accident, he walked to his home, which was some distance away, and then was rush- I od to Granville Hospital. He lost all his fingers except his thumb and the palm of his "left hand. The almost-forgotten Dawes Plan flpf a few years ago sought to stabilize i German currency and to collect a i debt rather than inflict penalties. In Tune With GOP? Former Governor Alfred E. Smith, of Ncw"York, is pictured at the piano as he engaged in barber shop quartet singing at the New York World's Fair. Smith, former Dem ocratic nominee for President, is expected to back Republican stand ard-bearer Wendell L. Willkie. CAMERON SAYS FORD NEVER HAD 'OFFER' San Francisco, July 2(j.—(AP) — The Ford Motor company never rc jeeted any proposal of the national defense commission for manufacture of airplane engines, because the re ported "oiler" was never made, W. J. Cameron, Ford spokesman, said yesterday. Cameron said negotiations for Ford production of Rolls-Royce avia tion engines did not not within three months of agreement before they were discontinued. (In Washington, the defense com mission asserted the Ford company was offered a contract for airplane engines, and that F-dscl Ford had ac cepted and said his father had ap proved ). "No contract was ever offered us," Cameron said, in an interview. "The administration has no idea what it wants •••anufacturod." CREDITORS NOTICE.
