ECONOMIC PARLEY FOR I
PEACE
Someday, in the not very distant!
future, if the nations of the world!
are really serious in their efforts to I
avoid future warfare, there will be!
an international economic conference.
As Senator Burke, of Nebraska,!
says, "If the nations of the world J
can get together on economic prob-1
lems, it will go a long way towards!
postponing indefinitely the possibility!
of a general world conflict."
However, the people of the United!
States should realize that an inter
national economic conference would I
not be very satisfactory unless the I
United States participated. This. J
kind of cooperation with other_ na- j
tions ought to be possible without |
obligating the United States or get-J
ting us involved in the quarrels of!
other nations.
Anyway, so far as we are concern
ed, we think it would be a good thing
for the United States to participate!
in such a conference with other na- j
tions. The solution of some of the j
present economic problems that now
afflict many nations, will dp more I
than anything else to alleviate con
ditions that give rise to dictatorships!
and to revolutions. If we really want
peace in the world, we must do some
thing to make peace profitable and
effective. v
WHO SHALL DECLAKfi
WAR?
Congress, at its next session, will
be asked to pass a resolution propos
ing a revived war referendum amend
ment to the Constitution of the
U nited States.
The main argument in support of
the resolution will be the very plausi
ble contention that inasmuch as the
people of this country will have to
fight a war, they should have the
power of deciding when the war is
to begin.
Many people and associations de
voted to universal peace will support
the resolution in the belief that its
passage will make mere improbable
the participation of the Uniied States
in any war. On the other hand, it
will be contended by those opposed
to the resolution that no govern
ment will involve this country in a
war without -assurances of popular
support. Moreover, it will be pointed
out that it is often necessary for a
nation to have its government equip
ped to handle international problems
on the same basis that similar ques
tions are handled by other powers.
It will also be suggested, in oppo
sition to the resolution, that a vote
of the people is no assurance against
unwise warfare. History, it will be
asserted, presents repeated instances
where an inflamed population forced
governments to fight. The verdict of
the people at the polls, once the ques
tion of war is submitted to them,
might not be as calm, reasoned and
deliberate as the judgment of respon
sible officials, thoroughly acquainted
with the relative military outlook and
the issues involved.
The original Ludlow Amendment
to the Constitution has been widened
to permit the Government to act in
the event of invasion, actual or
threatened by approaching military
expeditions, or attack upon the ter
ritories of this country, or by any
non-American nation against any
country in the Western Hemisphere. I
In other words, the resolution now
being advocated would largely limit
Iitself to European and Asiatic trou
bles and prevent this country from
declaring war or engaging" hi war
fare overseas. It would put into the
Constitution a permanent restriction
unless such activity is approved by
popular vote. Frankly, we doubt it
any American government could suc
cessfully engage m warfare overseas1
without the full approval of the peo
ple.
time may come when the Unite#

the world; If pobfie opinion in tfcfc
; #. . . i i ???*;? Lm

incidents. This objection to the pro
posed amendment, it seems to us,
could be easily met p*eh a contri

Work of AAA Program
Shown At State Fair
?
An exhibit showing how the ag
ricultural conservation program helps
North Carolina farmers, business
men, and consumers?prepared under
the direction of H. A. Patten, acting
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege?is being displayed at the State
Fair this week.
Part of the- exhibit shows how
farmers carry out soil-building prac
tices to meet the requirements of the
program. These practices include
planting legumes and winter cover
crops, turning under legumes to add
fertality to the soil, terracing fields
to check erosion, and applying lime
and phosphate to the land.
By participating in the program,
the farmers not only improve their
UUlUf Wltamx UlCiT JLMUUU^
and increase their income, but they
also assure city consumers an ade
quate future supply of food and raw
products for manufacturing. This
phase of the program is also stressed
in the exhibit
Another phase shows how the in
creased purchasing power of farm
people means greater sales by mer
chants, and in torn increased factory
production. This boosts, business and
provides work for city dwellers. And
as their purchasing power increases,
they are able to buy more of the
farmers' products.
The effects of the, program tend
to run in a circle, with the benefits
of one group being passed on to
others until they come back to the
original group, Patten pointed7 out.
Also on display are pictures that
are used m mapping the State from
the air and checking growers' com
piance with the program. Farmers
looking at the pictures can see how
clearly details of the landscape stand
out and make accurate acreage mea
surements possible.
