tells us that the travel business in
the state has now become tlie sec
ond largest ‘crop’ in North Carolina,
ranking next to the tobacco crop in
innual value and amounting to twice
the value of the cotton crop. Last
year visitors to the state spent S64,-
350,000, according to figures com-

of the Department of the Interior.

INDl STRY DOES
NOT WANT WAR
American indu.stry doesn't
want war. Its leaders and the
rank anti file of its membership
have again and again reiterated
the truth that wartime profits
are largely fictitious, and do not
repay the sub.se(}uent wreckage
of a nation’s entire economy.
But with the big guns actually
roaring in Europe, it is exceed
ingly timely and important to
have industry’s attitude made
plain again.
Recently the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers went on
record on this subject. We can
do no better than to quote
highlights from its statement,
merely pointing out that the N.
A. M., is the largest organiza
tion of industrial leaders in the
country:
“American industry wants
peace,” the statement declares.
“Peace is the life blood of pro
gress. Peace must be the na
tional objective.
“Industry’s position on this
matter has been stated repeated
ly and there must be no misun-
der.‘;tanding about it.
“The United States can stay
out of war.
“Emotionalism can betray us
into war.
“A public will to peace, cou
pled with wise pub’ic policies
and affirmative action to this
end by our government will keep
us out of war. A fatalistic atti
tude that war is inevitable for
Us is absurd. It presupposes that
America cannot cori'iuct itself
intelligently to pre.«?erve peace
a«d its owTi interests.
“Europe’s problems do affect |
us. but our domestic problems |
still must come first.
