France May Offer Peace Plan
France expects to offer a [H-rmanent |>eace plan,
according to reports coming from high sources in that
country. It is likely that Germany's demand to
come back as a world power may have had some in
fluence on France.
The French have not forgotten how hard it was to
whip Germany when most of the world powers were
helping France. So, not being certain which side
England or the United States will be on next time,
she thinks it will be best to pave the road 'to l>eace
rather than make too many harsh demands on other
nations.
If France proposes a plan that will give the world
material disarmament in 10 years assure |»ermanent
peace, regardless of her motives for doing so, she will
have contributed more to the world than any other
nation has ever done.
Conservatism Pays
Despite unfavorable seasons and the-difficulty in pror
curing tobacco plants the early part of the 1932 grow
ing season, many farmers declare they have had the
best year since 1919 in their farming operations. The
secret of the whole thing is centered aroUnd ther con
servatism. They have lived at home 55 home-grown
products, and by so doing they have remained fat and
healthy. They have been conservative in the use of
commercial fertilizers. They have not galavanted to
and fro all over the country wasting money and at
4 the expense of their crops. They have remained at
home and cared for their crops. Now they are get
ting more than they spent, which means they are
realizing a profit.. And when a man gets a profit he
is generally happy.
We'll hardly recover our economic equilibrum this
year, but with a few more conservative ones we will
come out on top with old debts, taxes and other obli
gations squared off,
While we believe we are on the upgrade, there is
much work ahead. Next year is the year for every
family who can get on a farm to" go there and make
a living for themselves, and then a little money will
~ money will be all we'll need.
We must remember that Hoover and Roosevelt
both together can't do as much for us as we can do
for ourselves.
France Has a Josephus Dfaniels
Brooklyn Eagle.
Imitation is the sincerest flattery. Josephus Dan
iels, down in North Carolina, may chuckle as he reads
that the French minister of marine is having a dickens
of a time meeting the firece protest of an order affect
ing all navy canteens and wiping J>eer, wine, and cider
off the map. Lemonade is the substitute. A lemon
Ms being handed to each Jackie in the navy of the
French Republic. He retains the trifling consolation
of a single pint of wine a day as his regular
ration; he can not get more at the canteen.
When Josephus Daniels, as Secretary, of the Navy,
abolished the wine mess for offices, He showed even
greater courage. The navy rank and file have no
f "pull" in Washington. The Annapolis graduates are
„ a different proposition. They and their sisters and
their aunts have to be reckoned with. Vet Daniels,
metaphorically following the example of Faragut at
Mobile Bay, lashed himself to the mast, and won out.
To a Yankee lemonade seeker, the British barmaid
exclaimed virtuously: "The lemon is forbidden 'ere;
we keeps a temperance ouse." Josephus was not so
severe. He admitted lemonade and grape juice. His
French imitator has to consider other things. A con
siderable part of France is busied with the raising of
wine grapes, and the making of wines. All the dele
gates to the I-'rench Assembly from these wine areas
are out on the trail of the minister of marine. He is
"trying to introduce prohibition." He is trying to
strangle the wine industry. He must mend his ways
or face trouble.
We may imagine that in the days of John Paul
Jones, when we were really doing things on the Seven
Seas, the grog rations counterbalanced the discipline
of flogging. Today our seamen in the navy are not
flogged, but they get no no wine, no beer.
Whtfber they would fight so desperately as the men
who stood with John Paul Jones is pretty hard to de-

Progress In Russiq
We will not be able to call Russia that dark back
ward nation any longer, since she has just completed
the largest power plant in the world. More than
three-quarters of a million horsepower have been add
ed to the boundless natural resources of that coun
try, which is out of war and progressing by leaps and
bounds.
This is all being done in their try-out of Commun
ism, which, so far, has worked out pretty well. Of
course, the system may fail yet; doubtless there will
come a time when the people will split in their opin
ions. The thrifty may get tired of carrying the slug
gard. Regardless, however, of yrtut may happen,
we must confess that Russia is marching on and that
her laws are nearer devised for the good of all the
people than are the laws of any other nation.
The United States should take more interest in
Russia, since the day is not so far distant before Rus
sia bids fair to-become one of our greatest trade rivals.
Call Off the Election
Now that the Litertry Digest is fast determining
the national political situation, why not call off the
election scheduled for November 8, and save all that
expense?

"The State Needs ..."
Goldsboro Transcript and Messenger
Judge YV. A. Devin of the Superior court has our
respect in all things, but we find we differ from his
announcement at Wilmington that the State needs
additional district judges.
Granted, that if present court methods are con
tinued the State will need more and more judges, so
licitors, court attaches—all at the cost of the tax
payers.
But, what the State really needs, is modernization
of court procedure. Give judges more power and en
courage them to use it so as to get to the facts in a
case more quickly, whether they are sitting alone in
judgment or guiding a jury it matters not.
Clients of attorneys trying cases in court might foi
a few months have their sensibilities shocked—they
might not feel they were getting their "money's
worth" if their lawyers were not allowed to bicker
without regard for time over the smallest and most
inconsequential points and to argue to a jury for
hours without any adherence to the truth except to
those bits of it standing' to their advantage.
But even clients, we imagine, would eventually
court procedure of more business-like method
and set to a moderate speed.
How judges, now condemned to endless listening
to futile talk, could not but welcome a change with
joy is beyong our imagining.
More About Sectionalism
Hertford County Herald
Quite regularly we read in some of the State papers
and heard of some political demagogue prating before
audiences about the arraying of section against sec
tion in North Carolina. It was born of the last
General Assembly which fought so long and hard over
lax laws; and it was used then to prejudice minds
against one side or the other of that fight. It has
since been used for the same purpose, ot> to keep the
prejudices alive until another session of the legisla
ture meets next January to renew the same old fight.
The brunt of the accusation has been against the
"Kasteners one pr two notable examples of news
l>a|>er correspondents come to mind when we write of
this tier jgoguery. We aren't blaming the newspa
|)er folks so much for their writing, for they are but
the effusions of certain political minded folks who
are well known to the craft; the class that does a lot
of talking in confidence and in whispers but who
disclaim any connection with the thing written about
when it is spread in the newspapers to be read by, all
the fxtpulace.
This newspaper is ha|>py to see one of
daily journals that has had much to say about the
sectional prejudices of Eastern North Carolina call
the hand of one of its neighbors in the Piedmont for
publicity stating that the central portion of the State
must organize to fight' Eastern Carolina in the next
General Assembly. It has been our observation thatj
if there is any sectionalism in the State as has been
written of and spoken about so much in the past, it
was not a general state of mind confined to Eastern
( arolina alone but has been just one of those sores
that the body politic is afflicted with, and that it is a
general complaint n«t localized nor confined to any
one spot on the body of North Carolina.
There has been and will continue to be contests in
and the legislature; but, let us not perpetually
employ' that old worn-out method of begging the
(fUestion by crying out aloud "sectionalism". Fight
it out on merit and not on prejudice.
North Carolina, a Strange State
"North Carolina, that strange state! No group of
school children could ever do stranger things than the
sovereign state of North Carolina. Outsiders are
invited to trade in North Carolina cities, spend money
there, yet tariff walls of licenses are built to keep
others out. They want trade there. They broke a
tradition of nearly a century to defeat A 1 Smith, then
tossed Sifiator Simmons into the discard heap be
cause he opiwsed Smith. They were the only south
ern state that voted dry in the recent Literary Digest
poll, but Senator Morrison, a militan dry, was sound
ly beaten by a wringing wet candidate. What do
North Carolinians want anyway?"—Pageland (S. C.)
