This is the spirit of the pact. It is aimed at no one nation. But it is aimed at any nation that should violate the peace held so sacred by the North Atlantic fam ily of nations. It is within the spirit and letter of the U. N. Charter. It. further, is mainlv de signed to keep peace, the result of which would be the absence of war. The pact is not a new step for the United States. Precedent is given for the pact by the iviumoe Doctrine which made the weal. Western Hemisphere strong. In a tike manner the NAP will make the North Atlantic area strong ami secure. By having this feeling of secur ity the nations in the NAP uiii he willing to risk work. toil, un certainty, and hardship for eco nomic recovery. Without a pact to make them secure from war there would he no use to work for prosperity that would vanish with another war. The NAP will promote the in terests of peace and of our own U. S. A.

C. 783-R By BARBARA CHASE I do not think that the linito.t States of Am0rica should have signed the North Atlantic Defense Pact because, like the U. N., God has been left out. If before the signing, it u,n prayed through and the signinc was done as an answer to prayer, then it should have been signed but we know this hasn't been done. We ail know that praver was left out of the U. N. meetings because of Russia and her satellites ami now based on latest reports, the U. N. is about through as an in strument of peace. When God is left out of man's plans for world peace, nothing hut unrest and wars result. The signing of thf n.ir-t micri.i De misunderstood as a signal for rearmament in some nations, and might make the Soviet Union a little uneasy and start a turmoil among her satellites. Finally, since the United Slates has signed the pact, and as we may start sending supplies and ammunition to the smaller nations, Russia might either try to snatch the supplies or try to make out that we are the aggressors wlw. are trying to make a war. So in all, I think that the United States has taken a verv unwke uh.n in signing the pact without trying lo see Russia's side of the story. By DUANE OLIVER The U. S. should have never signed the Atlantic Defense Pact. It was complete admittance that the U. N. has failed. The road to peace is not lined with military bases. We shall have them on the border of Kussia. How would we feel if Russia had bases in Canada and Mexico? Wouldn't we also be strengthening our defenses? The nations of the Part will hp joined for military purposes. This will increase the fears of the Sov iets. They will arm further. There is going to be a rush for arms and history proves that a war nearly always ensues. Where will the money for arms come from? The U. S of course. And we are already spending one half of our budget on Europe and a cold war. The economic recovery of Europe will be held back. Instead of pro ducing economic materials the countries will produce arms.

C. CrUt Is Good With Us" By EDNA CALLAHAN Peace pads, whether like the North Atlantic Pact or not, were d.:,cu.-,-ed even in the days of the mcn-nt Athenians. In the first chapter ot His History of the Pelo- iiunm-.-ian Waj writing of the ne I gutiatiDiifc and the frantic struggle lor allie uhah preceded the out ! break of the death struggle be tween Athens and Sparta, Thucy- dkles said. "The real cause of the war 1 consider to be the one which was formally most kept out of sitdit. . The growth of the power of Allien,, and t tie alarm which this in-piied in Lacedaemon, made war inevitable.;' Our times are different from Iho e of the Athenians' so we will refiain from drawing any eon chcion. We don't like to say war is inevitable but the fear of being drawn into a war between two e.ival powers is a basic reason for having the Atlantic Pact. Thus, relieving fear will actually make it easier to negotiate with a would-be aggressor country. The comeback of most people is that by adopting a pad of this kind we are thwarting all chances lo make the U. N. work, but this is disproved in the charter of the U. N. itself by the fact that "col leclivo self-defense'' is permitted ii. nf )f 51. Each membei nation of the At- ."-m i act win join me otner in case of aggression against any one of them. "One for all and ail for jone" will be the motto of the par ticipating nations. There is no I better security. I The signing and enforcing of this pact will he an important step j toward maintaining world peace. l)y ANNA KAY HEAD Before the United States finally j becomes a member, the treaty must be passed by the United States ! Senate. j The folluwing points of reviews I are my presentations concernim' I the Pact j By putting emphasis upon mili taiy prepai ations, the economic re- coveiy of Em ope Will be held had. Part of the plan for the pact calls for the strengthing of the military forces ot the member na tions, and a-, we know thr. will be a serious economic load for most of the nations. By building up the military forc es through the Pact we will create fear which will lead to more mili tary preparations. As a result of this situation, the signing of the Pact can only lead j to the heightening of war fears in ! the world. j Arms furnished by the V. S might be used against colonial peo ple. . j But if our arms should help to 1 suppress independent inovcnienls anywhere in the world, this country ; would be severely criticized. As we know the area which the Pact includes goi s clear up lo tlu- Russian border line, and the 1'acl incidates. that if Russia slops over the border line, the U. S. will declare war on Russia. I ask MORE ABOCT Sutton (Continued from page onei a! the May term in Jackson. If the motion for a change of location is granted, Mr. Sutton will be tried in the July term of Swain before Judge Dan K. Moore. lu supporting the defense appeal, the Stale Supreme Court held that Judge Sink erred in his charge to the jury. This error, the opin ion held, lay in the judge's failure lo tell the jury that the State must prove the alleged victim was less (ban lti years old and a virgin at lhe tune of the alleged offense, in addition to proving that illicit re laiiuns had occurred. MOKE ABOUT Ramps (Continued from Pane 1) delegates will take time out to elect comentiun officers for the coming year.

To overcome the difficulties in the minds of farmers, members of the commission show how new tirade A barns can be financed simply, point out the fact that there are plenty of markets for Grade A milk, that new structures can be built economically ami rel atively painlessly. Once the doubts about these and other points are removed from the farmer's mind, he is about ready to go into Grade A production.
