N. C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday, July 9, 1937 The Stupidity of War The stupidity of war is strongly emphasized by Dr. Clarence Poe in an editorial in The Progressive Farm er, along with some definite suggestions as to what a private citizen may do to help prevent the disaster which constantly threatens us of another world war. Says Dr. Poe: “Under present conditions, war is a game in which there are no winners. All are losers. Consider the World War, waged at a blood cost of 8,000,000 lives and perhaps 20,000,000 more victims maimed for life, and a money cost of $400,000,000,000—enough to give a $4,000 home to each and every family in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia. Yet no one single nation was helped by the World War. Victorious England and France were impoverished al most equally with vanquished German and Austria and the whole world soon plunged into a catastrophe of financial depresseion and calamity. “War today is stupid. It is more costly in life and money than ever before, while the spoils of war are less valuable than ever before. Consider Spain. Amid its ruins, by the time the present struggle ends, there will not be enough left for either side to gloat over. And we must be willing to preach the stupidity of war, no matter if we are called 'pacifists' or anything else—remembering that it takes ten time more spunk and heroism to face some bully who calls himself a he-man' advocate of war than it does to be a docile yes man to all such braggarts. “And if only every man and woman in America will get this spirit and act in time, future wars can be prevented.'1 Deficits A recent report released by the United States Treas ury shows that deficits were discovered some two or three years before President Roosevelt went into office. In 1932, for instance, there was a deficit under Mr. Hoover of more than three billion dollars. But just now we can't recall that the liberal use of red ink at that time caused any great concern among the finan cial wizards and the prognosticators. Big business was sick in those days, and the reve nue had dwindled to a low point. The Federal Gov ernment was lending a helping hand to big business and as long as big business was on the receiving line no howls about the country going busted were heard. Mr. Roosevelt did not deny big business governmental aid, and in fact he was even more willing to help big business than his predecessor. But when Mr. Roose velt started extending the frontiers of freedom for the common masses, the big boys got peeved and started tc howling. They forgot about those huge deficits that were created back yonder in war times. To go into debt for the purchase of guns and ammunition was perfectly all right in the sight of the manufactur ers, who apparently believe that a deficit created to finance war will not break a country, but a deficit created to help the starving masses will break a coun try. The United States Treasury has one big headache in that thirty-six billion dollar deficit, but, under ex isting conditions, it will be easier to pay off that moun tain of debt than it would be to pay off a debt half that size under conditions that existed during the early thirties. "Rich and Don’t Know It” People are reminded less often nowadays than a generation ago to count their blessings. It is still worth while to stop now and then and remember what the real riches are. As Dr. J. W. Holland says, Id The Progressive Farmer: “Have we gotten so blinded with electric lights that we have forgotten the stars? Has the emphasis Amer - icans have for three generations put on material suc cess obscured for us the better gold of the Golden Rule? “I am tell you that regardless of your purse you may be rich today. If you have moderate health, you are a billionaire. If you have a few friends, then envy no lonely man his store of gold. If you are permitted to work at chosen tasks, no artist should be more hap py than you are. If you have ‘the peace that passes knowledge so that no earthly storms can upset your lifeboat, no one can pile currency high enough to equal your riches. “So many of us are rich and don't know it. And so many others, alas! could be rich and don’t realize it.” Bailey and the Budget I.ate reports from Washington indicate that our own Josiah William Bailey, that infallible United States Senator who borrowed the President’s popular ity just long enough to ride to his present position, is not so keen about balancing the budget after all. Mr. Bailey has offered to balance the budget by effecting stricter economy and cutting off the needy, but the Congressional Record shows he is bucking Senatoi LaFollette's proposal to increase the income tax. Balance the budget, Mr. Bailey says, but don't go to the wealth of this nation for help in doing it. Ap parently he would rather have the underdog, and even those who put him in the Senate to suffer that a budg et might be balanced. Mr. Bailey’s record to date has been to tear down everything that held promise for the masses, and up to this very day he has done nothing more than criti cize the efforts of those who have been, and are still, trying to save this nation from a return to a reign by unchained manipulators like unto those who held that prosperity was “just around the corner,” while the people went hungry, during the last days of Hoover. If Mr. Bailey wants a balanced budget then let him support the proposals of LaFollette, and if this coun try needs saving, as he claims, then let him advance a solution of his own. About all he can accomplish wdiile following his present course is to return the country to the manipulators and the captains of the Hoover days. The Stage Is Set Elkin Tribune Europe is determined to fight it out. Xot satisfied with the horror and human sacrifice of the last great conflict, not to mention the fact that the last war has r.ot been paid for. European nations already are align ed for the scrap. The only reason they have not been at each other's throat ere this is because England is not yet ready. The Spanish strife is only an incident, Spanish soil provides a convenient setting, and the conflicting in terest there represents the line-up. Germany and Italy, working in concert, have been pouring soldiers and munitions into Spain for the use of the insurgents. The loyalist government must be defeated, if the Italo German stake is to be saved. And that is why British and French and Russian aid is for the other side. But the issue in Spain is not developing fast enough. England is making good use of the time—preparing. And so other issues must be devised and Germany and Italy are attending to that little matter. Inci dents are being manufactured or magnified to justify further interference in Spain, and one of these bright mornings the fuse will be lighted—and another world war with all its toll in human lives and all its toll in material vaules will be on again. For it will be a world. Xo discounting that. The conniving and planning has all been attended to. France and England and Russia on the one hand, and Germany, Italy and Japan on the other. And some where down the line, mark our prediction, this nation will be drawn into the vortex. Doubtless the details leading up to our entry also have been attended to. With Russia's unhampered aid the democratic na tions could make quick work of such a conflict. But Russia will be hampered, very muchly hampered. She will be fighting Japan on one side and scrapping her neighbors on the other. Germany and Japan arranged that in that conference last summer. And all of this upsetting, and the suffering and anguish it will bring, is the work of two upstarts, two swashbuckling braggarts, Benito and Adolph, who must make a noise or step down. They choose to make a noise. And may God have mercy on their souls when they are through with the sorry mess they have stirred up. “The Lord’s Acre” Sampson Independent The increasing popularity and proved effectiveness of the new plan for helping rural churches is indicated by the following testimony from Rev. Hoyt Black well, pastor of Piney Mountain Baptist church near Mars Hill, N. C., quoted from The Progressive Farm er: ‘ Ordinarily our little church at Piney Mountain chooses to do its work quietly and unnoticed, but since the Lord's Acre plan has helped us so wonderfully some of us have felt constrained to speak with the hope that some bit of good may be done in behalf of others. “Our already splendid community spirit was helped by our coming together to cultivate the field of about two acres, so generously furnished by one of our dea cons. This plan engendered a more definite and dis tinct church and community pride. It stimulated Sunday school and church attendance. It taught us that we can give far beyond what we have been giv ing. It helped beget a spirit of cheerful giving. It enabled our younger folk to give appreciable amounts. The total Lord’s Acre amount, according to the church treasurer, will be more than $200. We are now planning to make our church building more com fortable and attractive. The spirit and atmosphere of the church have never been finer. "To all rural churches we commend the Lord’s Acre plan.” The Best They To Offer Apparently admitting their mistake in offering Alf Landon for the Presidency and pointing out that John D. M. Hamilton was a big blunder, the Republicans are again referring to Mr. Herbert Hoover as the one man to “save” the country. Mr. Hyde, is that the best you have to offer? It is really amazing that the Republicans have not done something before now to line up Bailey, of North Carolina, to head their ranks. Need Storage Plants For Poultry Product In Central Locations Providing two or three centrally located packing and storage plants would work to the advantage of both buyers and sellers of poultry, believes T. T. Brown, extension poultryman at State College. At present large grocery com panies and packers are forced to buy the bulk of their poultry meat and eggs outside North Carolina because their demands cannot be satisfied within the State. Yet, declares Brown, North Caro lina poultry growers ship large num bers of their chickens and eggs to eastern markets. This discrepancy is brought about because buyer and seller find it dif ficult to get together. Consequently, the buyers will continue to make his purchases outside the State, and the seller will continue to ship his poultry north. When there is such a huge poten tial market right here in North Car olina for poultry and eggs, some plan should be worked out so that local products could be bought by home companies and packers, Brown adds. One large packing company made a survey of poultry resources in North Carolina a few years ago, but decided, at the time, there would be an insufficient amount of poultry and eggs to justify the erection of a packing and storage plant. However, declares Brown, poultry production has expanded to the ex tent that two or three of these plants could be employed to good advantage at present. Cooperation 'ti’ould be essential to the success of these plants, the poul tryman points out. Before they could be set up, officials would have to be reasonably sure that there would be enough offerings from growers to keep the establishments going. -* Plant Cowpeas For Soil Conservation Between Tobacco —®— Cowpeas make a good crop to plant between tobacco rows at the time of the last cultivation. The peas will not hurt the tobac co, said E. C. Blair, extension agro nomist at State College, and they will produce a big crop for soil-con servation purposes. He suggested that the cowpeas be planted in each tobacco “middle” with a corn planter. While growing they will help con serve moisture and hold the soil in place. After the tobacco is harvest ed .they may be left on the land or turned under to add organic matter and nitrogen to the field. Blair also pointed out that cow peas or soybeans may be sown in corn at the time of the last cultiva tion, in the coastal plain area, unless they have been already planted in alternate rows with the corn. Corn should be cultivated shal low until it is four feet high, as cultivation maintains a mulch that conserves moisture. Too deep a cultivation may injure the roots, however. Frequent, shallow cultivations through the month of July are good for cotton, Blair continued. He advised against planting corn and soybeans in July expecting to make a full crop of corn planted at that time, and said that it is more profitable to get ready for an early crop of small grain.
