Cttna baa been forced So agree to
His establishment of military garri-j

may mean little or Dotting to the
M-?!? American who takes bin ease in a
easoal way, bat it American inter-1
eats are to be protected, it is neces
sary for us to sense the' significance
of individual links in a chain of
events which amy greatly modify the I
world in which we live.
I There waa a day when most
Americans visualized the defense of
this country as a job that began on I
the coasts of the United States.
Foreign affairs were vary uninter
esting and many of our people opn- j
I sidered them aa of no importance.
Nowadays, however, especially since I
the loss of the foreign maxnets for
I wheat and cotton have driven home
the inter-dependence of the world, I
our people are beginning to perceive
I the importance of commercial rights
and, trading interests throughout the
world.
The American people should un
derstand that there is no similarity
between the position taken by 'the
I United States in the Western Hem
isphere and the policy pursued by I
Japan in the Far East The United
States has never attempted to pre
vent other nations from enjoying
full commercial rights in South
I America. The Japanese intention,
which is becoming plainer every day, I
is to establish military control of
the Far East and u?e her power to
effectively bar the trade of other
nations. This will give Japan an
economic monopoly^ ? Bnshli^g the
Japanese to take advantage of weak
er peoples and to prevent other na
tions from sharing' the economic re
sources of the Far Eastern area.
The American Monroe Doctrine
tended to protect the territorial in
tegrity of the nations of South
America, but it did not only carry
with it any assertion of exclusive
to exploit the Latin-American repub
lics. The Japanese policy in the Far
East not only attempts to- bar other
nations from trading with the area,
hot attempts to establish Japanese
control over the weaker countries,
making them, to all practical extents,
a part of the Japanese Empire.
Schaub Outlines Needs
For Progressive South
Before a permanent basic system
o? agriculture, flexible enough to
take advantage of rapidly changing
conditions can be established, the
South must overcome undernourish
KMBt, soil and human erosion, and
an undesirable system of tenancy,
behoves Dr. L 0. Schaub, director
of the N. C. State Caollege Exten
sion Service. . <
Speaking before the 42nd annual
convention of - the Awociatkm of
Southern Agricultural Workers -in
Atlanta, Dr. Schaub said Southern
farmers must growjnore things to
eat as well as more feed for their
livestock. In addition, they must
bufld their soil to a higher state of
productivity.
While pointing out apparent seeds
is the South, the State College man
~ sharply rapped critics of Southern
farming' methods, ssyiqg that "I
am convinced that the efficiency of
the Southern farmers has kept peetee
with the efficiency of farmers in
- other a -eat and with people in other
occupations."
- The South has been in the midst
at aa agricultural change for many
years, he continued. For this rea-j
son, the Suepean mat i? not at
tirely to blame for the loss of im
portant export markets.

000,000 bags annually.
The total apportioned under the
treaty amount to : #15,900,000 hags
yearly, which, it is thought, will
protect consumers in this country
The nations signing the treaty, in I
addition to the United States, are
Brazil, Colombia,^Costa- Rica, Cuba,
the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El
Salvador, Quatsmala, Haiti,' Hon
duras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pern and
Venezuela.

The Senate "ratified the treaty in
view of the importance, from an
economic standpoint, of eoffse to
the stability of the governments
concerned. Moreover, it>is sug
gested, the orderly marketing of
coffee in this country will enable
Latin-American countries to main
tain their purehaainff power here,
which will result in increased sales
of American products.
The Lease-Lend bill will be en
acted into law by Congress without
j amendments that will greatly hamp
er its purpose. While it is faced
I with vociferous and determined op
; position from a small minority group
of isolationists, headed by Senators
Nye and Wheeler, the measure is
expected to receive substantial sup
port from Eepublicans in both
houses. Inasmuch as we have given
a "thorough summary of views ex
pressed in connection with hearings
before the House Committee, we do
| not go into detail as to hearings be
fore the Senate Committee.
While the Bouse bill has been
amended to make plain that it con-'
fers no power upon the President
to order convoys for ships carrying
supplies to Great Britain, an effort
will be made in the Senate to posi
tively prohibit the usq. of American
warships for audi purposes. It is
interesting, however, to relate that
Administration supporters contend
that the President has such power
at this time.
?
| Opponents of the bill insist that it
gives too much-power to the Presi
dent, that it wiB edge "the United
States into the- present conflict, and
that it will denude the United States
of necessary defense weapons. Ad-,
vocates of tho ltfeasure insist that
the President already has power to
lead the country into war, thatthe;
world situation demands a concen
tration of power in handling our
fbretgn affairs and that the delivery
of war supplies to Great Britain will
"buy" this country sufficient time
to prepare itself for any eventadit y.
- The suggestion msteaa 01
the Mil, a limited sum of $2,000,
000,000 be granted the British for
the purchase of warsupplies is
countered by the observation that
this would force the United States
to finance a- program over which it
would aot have complete "control.
