President Opposes
Wage Ctifs During Re
cession of Btisiness
- ? " ? ' "
Says Such Reduction off
Purchasing Power by
Industry Would be 'Su
icidal'.
Washington, Jan. 25. ? President
Roosevelt today opposed wage cuts]
by industry diving the business re
cession as "suicidal" and warned that
if salaries are slashed this winter and I
spring, the government will be forced
to consider "other means" of creating I (
purchasing power.
His views were embraced in a for-1
mal statement read at a press con
ference a few hours after John L. |
Lewis, chairman of the Committee J
for Industrial Organisation, had an-1
nounced that labor would fight to the I
bitter end against a reduction of
wages and prices to offset effects!
of the trade slump. I.
Mr. Roosevelt completed his warn
ing with a suggestion that mass pro- .
duction industries cut their prices to
meet reduced purchasing power.
He brushed aside inquiries as to
what the government would do if
salaries are pared further, but it was .
believed he referred to possible re
sumption of Federal "pump prim
hxg''f It
The Chief Executive said his state
ment was prompted by statistics
showing that some business men in
a few sections of the country already
had reduced wages and that similar
action is reportedly contemplated by
others.
I c
He made it clear that wage reduc- j ^
tions thus far have not been wide
spread.
Mr. Roosevelt said that a group of
industrial and labor leaders headed t
by Lewis, Thomas Lamont, New
York banker, and Owen D. Young,
head of General Electric Co., assured c
him at their recent White House con- ^
ference that there would be no wage
reductions during the slump. He ad
ded that he hoped to confer on Mon
day with 10 or 12 representatives *
of "Little Business" and obtain their
? ? s
advice on how the government can .,
aid them.
"? "" T? ? ? ^
"Utile easiness ^
. He said he expected this delega- ?
tion to be selected from 500 small ?
business operators who will meet s
earlier with Secretary of Commerce
Daniel Boper and his assistant, Er- c
nest Draper. " j.
The Present's wage statement
was in reply to a question as to
whether he agreed with a recent dec
laration by Benjamin N. Fair less,
president of United Steel Corpora
tion, that labor is an essential fea- }
ture in steel prices and that these ^
prices cannot be reduced unless the s
wages of the employes are cut. 3
"I'm afraid it wont help for me to *
answer that question again," the *
President said. "I have said so fre
quently?and 1 do not know how to .
more dearly and unequivocably I
than I hare already said?that 1 am I
opposed to wage reductions.
"I am opposed to wage reductions
because the markets of American in
dustry depend on the purchasing
power of our working population, -i
And if we want to restore prosperity,
we most increase (underlined) and
not decrease (also underlined) that
purchasing power."
He conceded that there may be a
special hourly wage situation in some
building trades in some localities
which, so far as the total yearly earn- <
ingg are concerned, may call for some e
"different treatment." But even in *
such cases, he emphasized, the pri- 1
mary purpose of the administration 1
is "to increase and not decrease the
total of the annual pay at the work- '
ers." ? , . . '*

Organize, Work And
Win
The tide of battle has turned. Dur
ing 1937, the Wets forced 18 County
Elections and lost 10 of them. They
called these elections in the Coun
ties where they thought they could
win most easily, but they lost in
more thn 55 per cent of the terri
tory selected by themselves,
Furthermore, these 18 elections
were held under the provisions of a
statute prepared by the Wets them
selves. By legalizing beer up to 24
per cent alcoholic content and per
mitting transportation of whiskey in
to Dry Counties, this statute impaired
the effectiveness of prohibition in all
:ounties and created a situation that
the Wet!! thought would enable them
to carry every county. But they lost
n 10 of the 18 elections and they have
lot been able to set up liquor stores
n any county west of Durham.
Now is the time for the friends
>f temperance to redouble their ef
forts and wipe out the beer shops
md liquor stores that are increas
ng human slaughter on our highways
md disgracing our State with drunk
enness, debauchery and crime. This
joal can be achieved if those who are
tpposed to the liquor traffic will
vork for the nomination and elec
ion of Representatives and Senators
vho will vote against liquor and who
vill provide an effective plan for law
(nforcement. A vast majority of our
dtizens are opposed to this destruc
ive traffic; and we can elect a Gen
eral Assembly that will give us right
ious laws and elect Sheriffs, Solici
ors and~ Judges who will enforce
hese laws.
Opposition to the liquor traffic is
ight; and Right will triumph. To
loubt this is to lack faith in God.
Vith determination and faith, we
nust organize, work and win.
We call upon the friends of tem
>erance in every county and in every
?recinct to meet immediately and or
ganize for the purpose of nominat
ng and electing Legislators and law
nforcement officers who will close
he beer shops and liquor stores and
Irive the liquor traffic, both legal
nd illegal, from the borders of our
5tate.
If we will organize and work, we
an win a glorious victory for our
tomes and our State.

Washington, Jan. 26. ? Former
Jovernor O. Max Gardner today
merged in a highly optimistic mood
rom a conference with President
loosevelt on the subject of the busi
ness depression.
Mr. Gardner, who is counsel for
he Cotton Textile Institute and legal
tdvises to the Southeastern Govern
ors, is op^ of & large number who
?ecently have been calld by the
President for conferences on the bu
siness situation. These conferences
isually have been held with groups,
ind Mr. Gardner is one of a com

done. I
After his conference, Mr. Gardner
ssued a statement which indicated
hat affirmative action of some kind
'or cooperative steps by the adminis

It is believed generally that PresK
ient Roosevelt will announce some
policy after completing his series of
ronfere^ces, which include a gather
ing with small business men, a large
number of whom have indicated a d*r
lire to come to Washington.
Mr. Gardner's statement follows:
"I am optimistic for the future, I*

Japan Thraatms t

I
i
Shows Concern Over
Arms Shipments to
China; Fierce Fighting
Continues
Tokyo, Jan. 26.?A declaration of
| war against China was threatened by
the Japanese government tonight asl
a means of bringing "third powers"
under the international rules govern- L
ing a blockade, which permit search I
and seizure of neutral vessels cirry- |j
ing arms. I]
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota, rer h
spending to questions from the floor ,
of the Diet, charged that arms ship- ,
ments were filtering into China h
through the British port of Hongl]
Kong and other channels and said
that a declaration of war was "pos-1
sible" if other powers continue to j
supply China with war materials.
Great Britain was the target of a|
sharp attack on the floor of the Diet
by Baron Hakehiko Sonodo, who re-l
marked:
"If Britain insults Oriental races
and fails to respect Japan's position
in the Far East, Japan would be un
able to guarantee the existance of
Britain's rights and interests in
China."
Hirota, replying to the interpella-l
tion, said the government had. infor
mation concerning shipments of
arms through the British crown colo-1
ny of Hong Kong, but added these!
were "only a small part" of the total
British shipments.
He added:
In view of the fact that the Jap
anese government had decided not to I
deal with the national government
(of China), it must seriously consider
the position of third powers with re
lation to the supply of munitions to
China."
He was asked if a declaration of e
war would be necessary to define the I
status of third powers, and replied: I?
"A declaration of war is possible, p
but it will depend on future develop- 1
ments." c
Baron Sonoda took particular pains f
to pay a warm tribute to the United 1
States' "attitude" concemiing the t
Far Eastern situation. He also re- *
marked that Britain's decision to sus
pend the plan for sending its fleet to' 8
the Far East was "timely."
"Britain should refrain from un- *
necessarily arousing the Japanese *
people," he declared.

FIERCE FIGHTING RAGES ?

Shanghai, Wednesday, Jan. 26. ? ^
Severe fighting raged today on two
fronts north of Shanghai, where thou- 11

first pitched battle since the fall of
Shanghai, carried on through the
night with enormous casualties on
both sides after three days of dead'

Further'north, on the Tsining front ,
Chinese and Japanese struggled for
possession of strong Chinese defense
works through which the Japanese
armies are attempting to smash their
way for a drive southward to cut the
important Lunghai railroad. The Jap
anese are attempting to cut the east

The idea is abroad in some qw
srs that the President feels that his
administration is on much firmer
round since the retirement of two
Conservative Supreme Court Justices
nd their replacement with men ot
he same political philosophy. While
he President, in his battle against
rhat he considers economic privilege,
as been able to win elections by
normous majorities, his program has
sen successfully resisted in the
Courts because his opponents felt that
be five Conservative justices would
top tiie New Deal even when the
allot box failed.
The recent elevation of Stanley
teed to the High Tribunal ends the
bmlnation of the Conservative group
nd is a shift in the balance of gov
rnmental power, which is far-reach
ng. Consequently, business men now
ealize that they must make terms
rith the President or else seek to
hwart him by . arraying Congress
gainst him. This may be accom
ilished temporarily but, in the long
un, there can be little hope that the
wople of the country will turn con

"Many of our home demonstration
club women over the State like good j
books," she continued, "but often
they dont have a chance to j
get the books they would like to |

"For this reason, we are trying J
to establish home demonstration club '
libraries in the different counties.
Some have been established already, *
but many more are needed." ' (
The Johnston Couniy home demon* 1
stration library reported that during 1
the month of December 183 books 1
were loaned, and one woman said (
she read till four o'clock one morn- 1

interested in. *
At various club meetings, Miss
Current added, some of the women 1
make reports on books they have (
read, and in this way the others are. 1
given a chance to learn about more ?'
books than they would have oppor- <

Soil n-qgram Aids
In Diversification
(Note:?This it the seventh in a
series of Articles in which two far*
mere discuss the agricultural con
servation program.)
John Brown: "The 1988 program
will also help you balance your farm
ing operations."
Bill Smith: "I need to balance my
income with my expenses I've been
running behind for so long that I'd
about given up hope."
Brown: "It'll help you do that to.
It's the best all-round farm program
I've ever heard of. v
"The committeemen will tell you
how many acres you should plant to
the different cash crops. And by
limiting your acreage of cash or soil
depleting crops, you will have other
land available for growing legumes
and grasses.
"With this, you can start farming
on a good crop rotation system in
stead of keeping a field in the same
crop year after year..
"The program also encourages us
to grow pastures and hay crops to
feed livestock This cuts down on
the expense of feed. With a well
balanced farming program, many
other expenses will be kept down too.
"And when you start growing more
feed, you can have more livestock.
You know, livestock are needed to
balance out your farm enterprise."
Smith: "Yeah. I think most all
of us around here could do better if
we had a few more cows and hogs."
Brown: "That's right, Bill. I
think we could have some more beef
cattle, sheep, and work stock too.
They're good money-makers. And
it's a lot cheaper to raise your work
Btock than to buy it."
Smith: "I could use some manure
on my place. I've been wishing I
had enough to spread on my land
regularly."
Brown: "Yes. There you have
9till another advantage from the pro
gram. More feed, more livestock,
more manure. I tell you, it's hard
to hpftt."

he Pitt county chapter of the Red
Uross has decided to accept voluntary

Chinese citizens.
Contributions will be accepted in 1

school principals in the county has
>een delegated to accept contributions
n his respective community. Prin
cipals are members of the executive
ward of the Pitt chapter.
In a recent letter sent to the na
ional chairman, President Roosevelt
leclared that "I feel that our people
ire sympathetic to those in need in ,
his (the Ear Eastern crisis) situs
ion and will wish by their voluntary
lontributions to take some larger
Mart in aiding in this humanitarian !
ask -which the people of many coun- ,
ries are participating."
The President stated in his letter
hat inquiry had been made both of
Chinese and Japanese as to the need ,
for outside help. He added that the
lapanese society replied that their re
sources were adequate to deal with
he situation, but that the Chinese
laid that "they were very much' in

Your Support Urged
Mr. W. W. Lee, Chairman,
President's Birthday BalL
My Dear Mr. Lee:
I noted in the daily papers a few
days ago that you are again Chair
man of the President's Birthday Ball
Committee and that you are making
plans for this important event.
As Health Officer of Pitt County
and having under my supervision the
State-Pitt County Orthopedic Clinic,
which serves not only Pitt, but Hyde,
Beaufort, Pamlico, and Carteret coun
ties as well, and which is sponsored
by the Greenville Rotary Club, I'am
thoroughly familiar with the service
rendered by this clinic to the citizens
of Pitt County.
You will be interested to know,
I am sure, that, since the establish
ment of this clinic in July of 1986,
it has treated 197 individual patients.
It not only cares for the victim of in
fantile paralysis, but also treats such
casps as broken limbs,,bow-legs, club
foot, etc. The funds raised through
the President's Ball have been used
for the care of such cripplos who
were unable to provide special shoes,
braces, crutches, etc., for themselves. ?
Since the funds raised through
this Ball serves every town and ham
let of Pitt County, I trust that every
citizen, able to do so, will give his
rapport to you in your efforts to
make the Ball a worthy tribute to
our great President, himself a vic
tim of infantile paralysis.
Very truly yours,
N. Thomas Ennett, M. D.,
Health Officer.
