To gain data and sentiment from the farmer as to his desires and opinions relative to crop control legislation, a matter pledged first place at the next session of Congress, whether it be regular or extraordinary." the United States Senate Committee on Agriculture. "Cotton Ed" Smith, chairman, is to hold a hearing in Win ston-Salem on November 18. The motive be hind the selection of Winston-Salem as a meet ing place may be well and good, but it is quite apparent the committee is going to a rather out of-the-way place to seek farm data. Why go to Winston-Salem, that great indus trial center, to seek farm information? That is a question many small-time farmers in the east are asking Couldn't the committee find a hall nearer m the center of the State for its hear ings?or didn't it even try to do so? In its initial steps to study agricultural data, the committee slides off to Winston-Salem, caus ing one to entertain suspicion as to the real de sire of those in high places. He may be wrong, but the east Carolina farmer believes the com mittee wants and will do all it can to find only the sentiment that is against control, and that by squatting in an industrial center it will find ind^Iemice to a planned program and possibly control opposition In Raleigh a few days ago. a man named Johnson, from Johnston County, expressed lone opposition to a control program. There were approximately 999 other farmers present who favored control. It will not be at all surprising if control opponents, in their speeches in the halls of Congress later on, refer to the control opposition expressed by that lone man. It is feared that a similar result will follow the Win ston-Salem committee meeting. Control opponents hid behind court robes for the first round of the farmers' fight for deliver ance. Now they are hatching up another scheme. This time they are trying to root the opposition foundation in the very soil of the fanner who needs protection. And it is believed that the Senate Committee on Agriculture, in stead of trying to learn the real facts and con ditions and determine the sentiment of the real farmes. is sneaking off to one side with the pos sible intention of sowing seeds of discontent. And East Carolina farmers can be depended upon to sit idly by while the opponents build up tiseir case that is certain to be placed before the lawmakers of this nation either at a spec ial session between now and the end of the year or at a regular session the early part of next January. The North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, sensing the apparent unfairness of tiie committee in going to Winston-Salem, is trying to point out the danger to farmers all over the state. A few will march on Winston Salem. but the vast majority will remain at home now and howl later, depending upon someone else to carry the burden and fight the battle Useful Institution* Elkin Tribune. If the building and loan associations of North Carolina constitute a dependable barometer of the State's progress, and they do. then we have definite evidence that this State is on the up ward climb According to Dan C. Boney. insurance com the building and loan associations did in 1936 than they have done in any other year since 1929, and show the first in crease in business since that time. Shareholders increased from 76.330 in 1935 to 87,243 in 1936. and cash on hand December 31. 1936, was S3.443j641.29 greater than at the end of 1935. Mr. Boney says: "Not since 1929 has there been such an increase in the activity of these agencies of thrift as during the biennium ai 1935-36. Hie growth during 1936, withodt the number of associations reveals that the individual associations rrcngnrerd their opportunity and have the work of promoting thrift and the of homes their chief aim." It duold be significant to those who can spare twenty-five cents a week, that no in North Carolina has lost a dollar (or its shareholders ui many conservative and safe local management. Yet yean, due to intelligent state supervision and in these yean millions and millions of dollars have been loaned to home-ownen who other wise would not be enjoying these comforts and thus contributing to the national stabilization that comes from home uwnei diip If there is any fault to find it is in the fact that more people, particularly those in the wage-earning class, do not turn to these institu tions that have so abundantly proved their worth There are other methods of saving, yes. but none that commend themselves more plaus ibly than the building and loan associations The report of Commissioner Boney reflects healthy economic progress in North Carolina, but it also reflects a refreshing moral progress, for when men and women save and invest in homes the civic and moral standard inevitably climbs to a higher level Two Sides Asheboro Courier Having read the book, "What's a Man to Be lieve." does not help a lot The problem is yet unsolved. Roger Babson on Sunday tells the world that it would be arise to soft-pedal in stallmen plant buying. Monday, a headline reads. "State Prosperity Indicated by New Au to Registrations." And we all know these cars are not paid for?certainly not?is yours? At the offset, there is a definite statement ? "automobile sales in North Carolina this year confirm indications that prosperity has return ed." And. are are further told that "registra tion so far thi^ year already exceeds that for the whole of 1936." Practically every make of car has registered more sales than for the smaller period last yetf, and those lagging a bit behind have the steel strike to blame Of course. Mr. Babson is a far-seeing man and his views may prove right. But, when a person buys on the installment plan rather than taking his little all and sinking it with one firm, he may then shop about a bit and buy more articles. In this way, many producers are helped who, in turn, help the other fellow. There is no question, buying on the install ment plan certainly circulates the money and makes for the typical American home today. Laiok at the young people who would have to wait for years to launch out in the matrimon ial sea, were it not for the installment plan to secure furniture, even a home itself. There are two fides to the argument. Mr Baboon. Japan's Responsibility Tokyo's answer to Great Britain's protest over the shooting of the British Ambassador to China is unsatisfactory. We are not expressing Down ing Street's view; that will undoubtedly be put forward in another note to Japan. We are ex pressing the moral revulsion men everywhere feel over barbarous attacks on non-combatants. The Japanese note is unsatisfactory not merely because it fails to offer apologies or reparations for an unprovoked assault on a high diplomatic official; it is unsatisfactory because it fails to of fer any sign that the Japanese Government feels any compunction about the slaughter of thou sands of civilians in complete disregard of the ordinary dictates of humanity. The bullying of China for years, the gobbling of Manchoukuo while asserting no intention of gobbling; the violation of solemn treaties partic ularly the Nine Power Pact by which Japan still stands as a guarantor of China's territorial and administrative integrity; the whole disin genuous story of Japanese military aggression and commercial tyranny in North China; re peated insults and injuries which finally have united China; the disregard for other nations* rights at Shanghai; the blockade of shipping without declaring war?for all these Japan will have to answer to international law and to the world's seiyw of fair play. Defenses have been made for these actions. And those who sit in judgment on Japan must search their own consciences and answer for similar deeds of their own in the past and for their failure to help Japan find a peaceful ad justment of her difficult economic situation. But even the bulk of these offenses does not equal the savage, cowardly, unnecessary and inhuman slaughter of civilians now being indulged in The latest story is that of the killing of 300 ref ugees and the wounding of 400 by Japanese bombing planes. There may be defenses for the violation of in ternational law. But there is no defense for this sort of thing. There is no good in indicting a whole people; we do not wish to stir up hatred or anger toward the Japanese people. But the Japanese people must some time begin to take responsibility for the actions of their military leaders The nation accepts the fruits of mili tary aggression; it must accept responsibility for military methods And sooner or later the moral revulsion of humanity against the slaugh ter of non-combatants' must be forcible ex prrsrd and made effective. If it be tolerated in Spam and China without protest there will be no measures taken to prevent its becoming the practice of all nations. Hie British protest declared: The foreipi. mil the diplomatic status of the occupants is also irrelevant. The real issue is that they were non-combatants" On that ground the whole world joins the Britirii protest On that Japan's ??u is wholly North Carolina Rates Very High Industrially Rikifh ? North Carolina ? the most highly industrialized southern stale, says Major R Van Lee. m dean ut the engineer ing school at N C State College "This State is in harmony with the industrial age m which we are living.- be added, "and is offering more and more opportunities for en gineering and engineers.' Major Van Leer says the demand * technical training, Imowledge,1 and skill is on the increase in North Carolina and throughout the south. The new dean of engineering came to State this summer from the University of Florida where he o headed that institution's < glistering school Under his direction. State Col lege hopes to develop one of the best engineering schools in the cotin try. "We hope to build upon the foun dation so ably Laid by Dean W. C. Raddick that the engineering school might render a greater ser vice to North Carolina and the south." Van Leer said. Discovery of new industrial uses for products of southern farms will be one of the aims of the engineer ing school under the direction of Van Leer. Van Leer also expects to develop graduate work that the college might grant the doctorate in engi reenng "At the present there are no tech i seal schools in the s >ath qualified tJ grant the doctorate in engineer - wg" Van Leer said.
