The Enterprise Subscription Campaign ||
Just Starting; Now Meal Time To Enter
One Dollar Out of Every
Five Collected on Sub
scriptions Goes to Con
testant; An Equal Op
portunity
LOST ? Sevsral hundred dollars,
right here in Pitt county.
Not all by one person, perhaps, but
if you are one of those who have
considered entering this big Cam
paign of The Enterprise and have
not yet started, you may find later
that thin golden opportunity has
passed. That will mean actually
losing your share of the additional
earnings and prize money which this
interesting and popular drive is mak
ing possible.
Get In Now!
Everywhere folks are talking about
it. It has captured the interest at
people throughout the entire county.
The prizes may be won by any
one, but all will profit. It may hon
estly be said that everyone has an
equal chance and that, in many cases,
the winners will be those who now
least expect to receive them.
Handsome Awards!
Every single contestant has an eye
on the Big First Prize, which is
$500 in Cash. There are three other
prizes, all to be awarded in cash. And
the least you can do is make 20 per
cent, out of every dollar you collect.
Contestants, now is the time to get
in there and work if you expect to
win. Work Wins Votes.
While the response thus far has
been gratifying, the fact remains
that the work has really just started.
All the workers are fully aware that
there are literally hundreds of people
all over the county who have not yet
been contacted, but who will be and
whose names will be added to the
rapidly growing list of The Enter
prise's subscribers. As a plain state
ment of facts, the campaign is only
at its inception and the field has not
yet been scratched. Last week was
"Entry Week" in the work and this
week can be properly termed "Start
ing Week."
Have YOU started yet? Have you
yet been jGsa
signed the' Ehitry Coupon and then set
down to rest before beginning work?
Or have you just been "thinking
about it?" In either care, let us
say in all earnestness, GET BUSY
STAY BUSY?and WIN BIG! But?
don't wait another minute. DO IT
TODAY.
Subscribe Now!
And here is a thought for all you
good people who expect to give a
subscription to the contestant of your
choice during the life of the cam
paign. Under the schedule of votes a
subscription now is worth much more
in credits than it will be later. Just
now a subscription for one year will
bring your friends 10,000 credits.
During the final week your subscrip
tion will be worth only one third that
amount. We are certain that you
would not willingly deprive your
friend of any votes, but the plain
truth is that it amounts to the same
thing if you hold back a subscription
which you might as well make now
while subscriptions count for the
most.

The Fannville Enterprise Subscrip
tion Campaign are printed below in

their spare time during the next five

(Hugh S. Sims, Washington*
Correspondent)
Undoubtedly foreign affairs both
in the Far East and in Europe have
iccupied the attention of President 1
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull to a
peat extent during the past few
veeks. The President hu taken
sains to assure the public of his de
enpination to keep this country out
)f war. He has given considerable [
study to the application of our
Neutrality Act and has repeatedly 1
emphasized to American citizens that
heir insistence upon trading with '
:ountries in the danger zone is at j
heir own risk. This has subjected
lim to some criticism from various
groups but, at the same time, has ,
ended to stifle the criticism of vari
es peace organizations. Apparently,
he President's statements are intend
ed to keep public opinion quiet and to i
prevent anything like the beginning j
>f violent propaganda intended to j
sxert pressure upon the Government
? I
Meanwhile, Secretary Hull ii 1
rontinuing his attempt to exert an
nfluence for peace. Several weeks 1
igo we reviewed ;his declaration of .
fuly 16th, setting forth certain prin- \
riples for world peace. This docu- ,
nent goes before the League of Na- j
ions by the express order of the (
Secretary and is accompanied by the j
?eplies of most of the nation's of the
vorld. Mr. Hull's move is viewed as
mother step in mobilizing world
ipinion for peace. His statement was
ouched in general terms and was
ipecifically applied to the Far East
>y a subsequent utterance.
However, the general principles ?
lave an important bearing on the ?
European situation, where the Medi
erranean difficulties are causing
frave concern. Generally, it is be
ieved that warfare in the Far East
an be restricted to Japan and China,
>ut there is considerable doubt whe
her a war in Europe can be prevent
id from spreading to the entire world.
While Secretary Hull's successive
iteps do not involve the United States
n any formal commitments, they
smphasize to the world at large that
he influence of the United States is
indoubtedly on the side of the peace
Jbly inclined nations and suggest
rtrongly a disapproval of the tactics
if aggressors who are willing to en
1 anger world peace in their efforts to
ecure territorial expansion. This
dea is emphasized by the declara
ion of the President in regard to the
'jittery" condition of the nerves of
>eople everywhere over the threat of
var. Significantly, the President de
dared that he could not speak for
he others, but felt sure he could
[peak for the democracies.
1
Without underwriting the interpre- 1
lation, it is interesting to point out 1
hat cert an observers are now sug- *
resting that the Lewis-Roosevelt
jreach is apt to prove advantageous
<o both parties. The C. L 0. leader '
las regained a certain amount of ;
jolitical freedom and the President, J
t is said, is relieved of the disad- ?
vantages which were inherent in a 1
no-close connection with the militant -
abor organization.
It is pointed out that William 1
Green, president of the American 1
Federation of Labor, is now playing 1
much more closely to the White
EEouse and insisting that labor zecog- 1
lize its friend, Mr. Roosevelt Here- {
tofore, the A. F. of L. chieftain has '
jeen somewhat in the background, 1
vhile John L. Lfwis was proclaiming 1
to his adherents the virtues of* their ]
friend in the White House. Recent- ;
ly, it will "be remembered, the C. I. ;
0. leader indicated his dissatisfaction
with any impartial attitude on the '
part of the President toward Labor
fdisputes and uttered a caustic criti- 1
cism which was plainly directed at
the President
The "break" between Lewis and i
the President seems to be entirely 1
due to an assumption on the part of '
the C. L 0. leader that the Presi
dent of the United States should Be
the subservient tool of his organi
zation. In other words, having sup
ported Mr. Roosevelt during the cam
paign, the C. L O. was entitled to
his foil support in aD of its battles.
While the President has unmistaka
bly given expression to a - genuine
sympathy for organised labor and
has contributed greatly to its power
in achieving its ends, there is no
basis for a belief that Chief Execu
