A Democratic Journal, devoted to the material, educational, economic and agricultural interest of Duplin County. SENATORIAL HUMOR Add current humor; Senator Gillette of Iowa, com menting on government payments to farmers and the fear, voiced by Senator Wheeler, that officials "could aay if you want to contin ue getting this money, you'll have to elect us," comes forth with the brilliant thought that the opposi tion could say, "If you vote for us, well give you more." If this isn't what the opposition has been saying to the people oi the nation for the past generation we do not know what has been go ing on. FARM REAL ESTATE GOES UP Farm real estate is rising sharp ly in value, according to the De partment of Agriculture, which re ports that the index based on acrt value stood at 99 on March 1st on a nationwide basis, as compared with 91 a year earlier. Increased value for farming lands- is inevitable with the rise of commodity prices, record levels of farm incomes and accumulations of liquid funds by farmers and others. The increase in values came during the last four months, or since November 1943. Whether the trend is continuing is important because there is considerable dan. ger in soaring values from farm real estate. The Department of Agriculture points out that value-stimulating influences are offset, to some ex tent ,by factors tending to pro duce decreased value. These in clude farm labor shortages, highe wages and other costs and the re collection of the crash in vaues which followed the last war. We doubt if the increase in farm real estate value has reached a dangerous stage. In fact, the pro bability is that some further in crease will result. Just the same, it is well for buyers of farm land to be familiar with past history before investing heavily in farm real estate. We call attention to this in crease because we are aware of ill- 1 tremendous losses suffered h-. j some farmers when depression years forced down the values of their real estate holdings. The purchase of land for cash by an individual able to utilize it is not to be confused with thu speculative purchase of farm lands with the buyer borrowing some oi the money and expecting to reap a profit out of a resale at a higher price. ABOUT HISTORY SO-CALLER A nationwide survey reveals de plorable ignorance on the part of college freshmen of basic funda mentals of United States history, according to the New York Times. Educators and officials of var ious types are recorded as "am azed" and "astounded"' by the re. suits of an inquiry covering 7,000 students in thirty-six colleges in every section of the nation. Undoubtedly there is much to be learned by a study of the records ef the past but it is essential, If the information is to be valuable, that the record be correct. Ob. viously .much of the history being EVANGELISTIC SERVICES KENANSVILLE METHODIST CHURCH April 26 to May 2 Preaching daily ct 8:30 PM. by Rev. A. L. Thompson T r . : Former Public Cordially Invited Carolina a ASWCUTICN ) taught in our schools reflects par tisanship and prejudice and is or doubtful, value. It is virtually impossible for any writer to cover any historical per. iod without reflecting to some ex tent, personal bias. Moreover, many educators are extremely an xious to avoid controversy and, con sequently. books on history are selected along "safe" lines. Any American who has read th! widely varying accounts of a pre. sidential campaign in the United States will have doubts as to the ability of a historian to aecuratelj reflect the present period by a study of contemporary records. Even if our mythical historian, some hundred years from now, manages to secure the source re cords o fboth parties and every thing said in Congress, the search for the truth will be difficult in the extreme. A similar observation applies to the current discussion about tho bills in Congress to add to the farmers' income, the prolonged de bate over the Ruml Plan and the prewar debate between the Isola tionists and Americans of an in ternational frame of mind. The history of the United States as a rule, is presented to pupils in a sugar-coated version. The prin cipal actors of the past are saints or villians. Little effort is made to present our forefathers as a group of frail human beings, at tempting to work out their destiny in the midst of confusion and mis takes. A writer who attempts to remove some of the whitewash is denounced as a de-bunker. We certainly endorse the effort to encourage schools and colleges to give greater attention 'to the study of history but if students are to receive benefit, it is necessary for instructors to present both sides of every question. Such an effort, in our humble opinion, is exceptional and myths and leg. ends flourish in the best of books and the most learned institutions.

April iJth and he was well tentertained by the colored people or town. He was caught by such a surprise. When he came in the house was full of people and a table piled with gifts. He could hardly speak he just stood in the middle of the floor just as if he was a statute. We are doing this to surprise his wife just as she surprised him, to know that his friends are thinking enough of him to have it put in the Duplin Times. Charlie Brandon is a deacon in St. Mary's Holiness Church and has filled a Christian's place as far as the community knows.. He is also president of the Religious Male Chorus of Kenansvllle.

The battle for Tunisia .has .en tered its final stage. Just how long the axis forces will be ; able ,ts prevent, the Allied soldiers from occupying Bizerte and Tunis is un certain but it is possible to review some' phases of the campaign which the British Eighth Army broke the Mareth Line.. The general' impression in this country, based upon news dls patches and the discussion of mill tary experts ,is that Marshal Rommel had his army in position along the Mareth . Line, that the bulk of his forces faced ' . great danger from the American threats in the center and that the Desert Fox conducted a masterful retreat to join the Germans under Colon el General Von Arnim in the Tun' is-Bizerte region. , ; . Rommel Retreat Well-Protected There is the strong suspicion. that this lay-out is entirely erron eous. Upon the basis of what has happened in Tunisia, it appears that General Rommel left only a small part of his strength along the Mareth Line and, following bis. successful stab against the Am ericans in the center, placed hold ing units in. the mountains to pre vent any sudden surge to the coast When the British flaked the Mare th Line, the larger part of Gen eral Rommel's forces was probably already in the Tunls-Bizerte area. Allied VdtoryRemin Important These observations do not de tract from the great victory scor ed along the Mareth Line or min imize the importance of teh rapid advance through central Tunisia. In fact, it is a tribute to General Eisenhower and his commanders that they occupied positions of such tremendous strength that the enemy was utterly unable to pro long the struggle. Several weeks ago, we called at tention to the fact that" General Rommel's position was indefensi ble. This was apparent to military men in the United States and cer tainly to the Desert Fox himself. Obviously, his task was to save as much of his army as possible and to avoid the losses which inevit ably occur in a retreat that bpi ders upon a rout. W is true that the Axis has shor tened its defense line by the with drawal to northern Tunisia. .This observation also applies to the lin es of the attacking forces. Given the superiority .in mentguns. and-L pianes, yiQ snorter, me line, tne greater the attacked' superiority. Consquently ,the Tunision campai gn has entered the "cornered rat" stage, presenting a compact target for the overwhelming air and ground forces of the Allied Com mand.

Certainly ,it appears that the Japanese, to attain success against Australia must first cut the line of communications that exists be tween the Island Continent and the United State. This means the re capture of Guadalcanal and the seizure of newly-constructed Am erican bases in the South Pacific area. Until this is accomplished, any invasion of Australia would be a gamble and the Japanese are. not m position tc- take such risks at this time. .. . .The American public is likely to be misled by the repeated state ments that come from Australian officials .intimating that every thing is -lost unless the United States Immediately undertakes a large scale offensive. This is the burden of most pub lic addresses by John Curtin, Aus tralian Prime Minister. It is the message of Dr. Herbert E. Evatt, Australian Minister for External Affairs, now in this country.
