NO MAGINOT LINE AGAINST
DISEASE
It is interesting to observe the
contrast in the life of Andre Maginot,
lamed designer of the fortified line
which bears his same and protects
the French nation from invasion.
Sergeant Maginot, who scientifical
ly deagued a method to defend his
native land from the dangers of in
vasion, died because of a failure t?
scientifically protect himself , from
danger. He died after eating oysters
that were tainted and became a vic
tim to typhoid fever.
Medical science has long worked
to protect man from the attacks of
disease. Typhoid is one disease that
is, at least, preventable. The skill
and intelligence that developed the
plans and guided the construction of
the world's greatest fortification
could not save Maginot from typhoid.
WAR BOOM IS DANGEROUS
' ^
The Federal Reserve Index of Pro
duction recently reached its highest
point of the past two years.
Apparently, anticipation of war
business is already leading to in
creased production, which can hardly
be avoided. Just the same, it is well
to recognize that a prosperous period,
based upon war orders and emer
gency demands, cannot last. In fact,
it is dangerous to the economy of
any nation. In the mid, it will exact
a penalty.
The troubles of the world, which
followed the last World War, have
hardly disappeared and here we have
a new occasion, about to lead us into
the inflation that is certain to follow
such an expanded production. We
dont know that there is anything
that we can do about it but it might
be just as well to realize that the
bubble is floating and it can be pick
ed, very suddenly, and make our
plans accordingly.
BABSON BUYS JAPANESE
I . I BONDS
? ~ i ? a
Readers of The Enterprise are
familiar with the views of Roger W.
Babson, well-known statistician and
economist. . _
Mr. Baboon, we are informed by a
press dispatch " from Manila, told
newspapermen in the Philippine Is
lands that he had sold his holding*
of United States government; bonds
and reinvested the funds in dollar
bonds of the Japanese government.
Mr. Babson may believe that the
bonds of the Japanese government
are intrinsically worth more than
those of the United States hut with
the nation engaged in a war with
Chins and the future of events in the
Ear East uncertain, we doubt it.
. He thinks that "our educational
system needs drastic revision to
teach youth that life is not a bed of
roses but a hard and tedious strug
gle." He also expresses the opinion
future generations may have some
difficulty in competing with the
people of the Orient

Farm ril le Chamber
Cmtmerce Endorses
Control Program
At a called session of the
Farmville Chamber of Com
merce, held in the City Hall yes
terday afternoon this organiza
tion went on record as whole
heartedly endorsing the Farm
Crop Control program and urge
the tobacco growers of the south
to go to the polls next Thursday
and cast their vote for same.
This organization realizes that
without such a' control program
tobacco prices for the remainder
| of this year's crop will bankrupt
not only the farmer himself, but
also all businesses that would*
be inclined to come to his reecue
when in position to do so.
Don't bite the hand that's
feeding you, but go out and vote
for that which will help you as
well as others.

order of patriotism on the part of;
! those who might enjoy temporary
* gain from foreign trade. That, more j
I than anything rise, will keep Ameri
ca out of war.
"Developments of the last few
days indicate that neutrality to keep)
i the United States really neutral is

| the American people. Regardless of
j political lines, opinions vary as to
; the best methods of attaining this
I neutrality. Free debate will bad to i
; the best of ah thought and judgment
of the issues involved. Frankness
and patriotism should govern all ex
pression and all action.
"But, in the final analysis, selling
goods now must not be given first
thought if it means sending, our sons
later. As I have said, the real iasue
is trade versus neutrality. Let us
legislate with a view solely .to keep
America oat of war?because if we
become physically involved, we shall
pay with the blood of our sons, the
tears of our mothers and the dollars
of our already over-burdened tax

In announcing the 1940 program
provisions, Secretary Wallace said:
"The 1940 AAA Farm. Program
is being announced at a time of world
crisis, and its provisions have been
formulated in the light of the new
situation. The aim of this program
is to maintain a production of agri
cultural* commodities lii this country
that will balance with demand,
whatever that demand may prove to
be, and to maintain and improve the j
fertility of our farm lmd. tojt'
mtejMrt. are cieMy safeguarded
m this program, which also serves
the public interest.
"Provisions of the 1940 program
for wheat have been available to far
mers for some time. That program
provides for an increase in the nat
ional wheat acreage allotment of T
million acres - from 55 milion
acres to 62 million acres. There is
atixrs
of the program. We h^ve domestic
wheat supplies of nearly a billion
bushels and these are ample for any
immediate prospective demand. World
supplies are the largest on record.
This is in sharp contrast with the
situation that prevailed in 1914.
World supplies of wheat in 1914 to
talled 3.7 billion bushels, while this
year they are currently, estimated,
at 5A billion bushels or'almost one
and one half times as large.
I is potentially better able quickly to
meet changs in demand for agricul
? ?m?ddmaa,toff-has ever
been. There is an Ever-Normal
Granary in the soil. And our cur
rent large reserves of our major
(crops a#, being held in large part
I through the loan features of the
I Ever-Normal Granary. . V The loans
vantage of any price advances, and
j the increased fertility of their soil
I is an assurance for them if there is
I demand for increased production."
stantially the same ri^hat for^939,
changes have .been made which irec

No cotton can be ginned or sold in
North Carolina without presentation
