NO NATION CAN LIVE ALONE The approaching conference be tween representatives of the great powers of the world and President Roosevelt v will focus attention on one of the most vital problems of depression ? the decline in foreign trade. Secretary of State Cordell Hull recently said that America's Share of the world trade that has been lest in the past few years reaches the astounding total of $6,000,000,000 ? a volume of business which at any time would mean the difference between depression and comparative prcrperity. If the general world economic crisis had been wholly re sponsible for the collapse of trade, the problem would be a good deal less important ? all over the world the industrial skies are brightening and the upturn has started. But foreign trade has gone to the dol drums principally for another rea son ? a growth of isolationist senti ment in the great countries. The result has been tariff barriers and embargoes to a greater degree than ever before existed. In the modern world, we have annihilated space. The telephone, the radio, fast transport, have al most eliminated the former barrier of distance. In this world no na tion can successfully live alone, re mote and economically removed from its neighbors. Such a policy is the prelude to international dis trust. suspicion, enmity. And in a world where such things exist there can be no permanent and sound prosperity. The United States is taking the lead in seeking to obtain world co operation for recovery and to stimu late trade between nations. If the other powers follow, it will be the greatest blow yet struck at hard tta>e?.--Indus trial News Review. o m WASHINGTON BY RADFORD MOBLEY *UTOCAfTER WASHINGTON BUREAU Washington, Apr. 17. (Autocaster) ? Beer is back and the first day's sales are said to have netted the Federal government -;and the var ious state a?d local \taxing units about ten milljpn ddllifsr which is a lot of money Some brents sent President Roosevelt a fevf aftfce? of beer which arrived ^t * the Yfhite House Just after midnight on the day when its sale was legal. The President gave the beer to various friends and that was that. What te worrying the wets is that Mr. Roosevelt has not said any thing about the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The President's friends reply that there isn't smything for hinT to say. The repeal amend ment is now up to the states, and most of them have arranged tor are arranging: for conventions at which either to ratify it or turn it down. It ig hardly likely that Mr. Roosevelt will use his influence one way or the other. Invitation to Nations Th$ really important develop- 1 ment in Washington is the invita tion by the President to the heads of eleven other nations to- come to somebody, in order to talk over the world economic situation and (jet ready for the World Economic Conference, which is to be held in London in July. Ramsay MacDon ald, Prime Minister of Great Brit ain, was the first to accept. All of the other nations are sending their best men. The President plans to talk- to each of them separately, get them to agree to something to which they will stick when the con ference is called, in the hope that seme line of action can be arrived at which will start commodity prices" moving upward, stabilize the world's currencies and move the wheels of international tratfe again. This is not an altruistic project to save the world. The President is undertaking something for the sake of the United states first and the world at large in consequence. Whatever we put in the pot he ex pects us to get back with something besides. The old foreign trade pol icy of the United States has been definitely scrapped. No longer will the effort be to open foreign markets to our goods while barring foreign goods: by means of high- tariffs. That is cer tain. So when the President starts to persuade other countries to lower their tariff barriers he must have in mind that such a program can suc ceed only if we rearrange our tar iffs to permit the sale of foreign goods in this country. Time For Reciprocity The need for this reciDrocity on our part is inescapable. For even if we could trade our war debt claims for a lowering of foreign tariffs on our exports, without reciprocal ac tion on our part we would get no where. For, as the President's ad visers point out, there is no earthly way for other nations to pay for our goods unless they can sell us their goods. Wise observers here say that the policy of "edonomic nationalism" has been definitely scrapped by the invitations to Great Britain, France, Asks Kingfish Removal Formed Governor John M. Parker, of Louisiana heads a group of his state's eitizena which has filed charges with the U. 8. Senate asking the removal of Senator Hnej (King fish) Long on the grounds of personal dishonesty, corruption etc. et Italy, Germany, Japan, China, Ar gentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Canada to talk over international economies at Washington. Some go so far as to suggest that the League of Nations will be functioning here more sfrongly than at Geneva. It seems likely that more immediate and tangible results may follow these conferences than have follow ed the League's action, for in this case the United States has the whip hand and can apply economic pres sure to make the other nations come to reasonable terms. Mu?t Have New Revenues That there will be some new forms of Federal taxes to make up the vast sums which $re to be spent in the various projects for relieving the domestic situation seems as certain as tomorrow's sunrise. Nobody kndOr yet what form these new taxes will take. The original idea of thg. Adminis tration of lending money based on Federal credit only to ^lf -liquidat ing public works seems to have been abandoned. There is not enough of that sort of work to be done to go very far in putting all the unemployed back to work. ? With the plans for farm relief, home-mortgage relief, unemploy ment relief, bank deposit insurance and all of the other enterprises which must be financed against the credit of the United States it is es timated that from five to ten thous and million dollars of credit will be required. The balancing of the budget - is the first step toward making the Government's credit good, so that it can go to the public and borrow , the necessary funds for these other , projects on bond issues. Money, Men and Plans In Congress there is a powerful croup which believes that budget balancing, international agree mens, public bond issues, railroad, banking and utility reorganization farm relef and everything else will accomplish nothing unless there is inflation of the currency. The pro ject to reduce the amount of gold in the dollar is" the latest scheme to this end. It is not regarded here ' as meeting the President's appro val. It seems more likely that some sort of silver purchase program by ! international agreement may be de cided upon. Many members of both houses see salvation only in broadening the bases of employment by means of the flve-day six-hour week, at high er pay. Some others hold that there must be an actual redistribution of capital through a capital levy, in come tax changes or a simple con fiscation of capital and income above certain figures. And when it comes to internation al agreements, there are more dif ferent ideas than there are mem bers of Congress. The insistence that Europe must pay her war debts j in full is not so vociferous as a few j months ago. Hie President hears a bedlam of advice daily. So far it doee not seem to worry him. There are all aorta of people urging him to "go on the air' 'and urge all debtors and credi tors to ait down together and agree on a general reduction of debts. There are others by fhe hundreds urging him to adopt same wild scheme or other. But the Presi dent keeps working away at the blue-prints of what, his intimates say, is a definite, integrated plan, to be adopted step by step. ? : 0 ? Pioneers In Economy The Miami Herald March 20, eu logized the president and congress for passing a bill that is intended to save at least half a billion dol lars for the country. The writer Joins in giving the president this well deserved eulogy. "But," says the Herald, "in these tributes we should not forget the 'pioneers in economy,' those brave souls that paved the way and who fought for years to achieve these ends." No, the United Spanish War vet terans will not and can not forget these wonderful pioneers, they largely compose that ever present organization of war-made million aires whose trade is to gather in all property and moneys and cause to be enacted by their "pull" and influence such laws, as will best add to their already swollen fortunes. They pioneered considerably in the Spanish American war, by selling embalmed beef that killed many of j their own countrymen who fought! for them; later they pioneered some mere in selling ammunition for Ger- i mans to kill Englishmen, English to kill French, to kill Germans and any and all nations who were kill ing each other until "neutrality" turned into "brutality" and the Lusi tania was sent to the depths of the sea.

The Bible says that, "Wh?n there is no vision the people perish, H: therefore for Gods' sake let us "see the vision," that we may not perish. With pure hearts, honest intentions, and fearless minds before we all are dead, let us contemplate the true, the beautiful and the gopd. Let us be like the little boy in the "Great Stone Face" who from boy hood to. old age gaaed on the face and when the boy became old his face was like the stone face. Let us go where the statues of our noble dead stand in silent speech to gen erations yet unborn and with un covered heads let us look upon them and their noble face. Let us look upon the great Lincoln from time to time. May his tomb be our Mecca, may his life be our ex ample, may those things for which he stood become the guiding princi ple of our lives.

C. N. C. Mountain Cabin Moved to World'# Fair A tiny log cabin from the moun tains of North Carolina will take its place among the picturesque ex hibits at Chicago's 1933 World'4 Pair ? A Century of Progress today (April 17) at 11 a. m. It was In this type of mountain home that the hill people of the Great Smokie country received their first instruction in cultural activi ties, such as weaving, the manufac ture of pottery and work in pewter that has gained fame for the hardy mountaineer. Mrs. E. L. HensJey, 414 Di verse y Parkway, eminent Chicago educator, who has spent her summers for many years training the mountain folk, aided by a number of promin ent women of St. Chrysostom's , chuteh, has been largely ipstru- } mental in bringing the exhibit to i the Exposition. Mrs. Hensipy, however, gives most of the credit for the enter prise to a courageous mountain girl, Miss Lucy T. Morgan. This young woman, a native of the Carolina hills, was educated in the north and then went back to her native mountains to instruct her people in useful arts and handicraft. Under her skillful guidance and with the assistance of Mrs. Hensley and other teachers, Miss Morgan has accomplished something that was neyer dreamed of in the moun tains heretofore. Anxious; to participate in Chicago's 1933 World's Fair, Miss Morgan ar ranged to place a mountain cabin on a truck and drive It to Chicago. Ac companied by two of her husky young mountaineer students she has accomplished her purpose after some arduous labor over the rough mountain roads. Co-operating with MisS Morgan , and Mrs. Hensley are Mrs. Bruce Strong, Mrs. Prank Theis, Mrs. Ro maine Renner, and Mrs. T. J. Morse of St. Chrysostom's. The cabin will be appropriately placed between the Rutledge Tav ern and Fort Dearborn, both of which typify the pioneer spirit. j Miss Morgan, in addition to her work as an educator among the mountain folk, is a talented story teller in the peculiar lingo of her own people. Her Uncle Rfiir.fi s stories are said to be perfect in their dialect. x Dedication ceremonies Monday morning when the cabin is unloaded from the truck will be attended by prominent officials of the Exposi tion. o Alleghany farmers saved two cents a pound on 9,970 pounds of clover and grass seeds ordered co operatively through their local mu tual exchange.
