Congr^ served virtual notice on the world today that the United States woifjd 'smiiaorT aojuoyi axo ot JW^TJ/ By a vote of 382 to 8, the House passed a resolution, already approv ed by the Senate, dedaring that thte country would" not “acquiesce” in the transfer of territory in the west ern hemisphere from one non-Amer ican nation to another. Although no countries were men tioned, Germany wds in the minds of Congressmen. They said that the resolution left no^ doubt of its mean ing: That the United States would use force, if necessary, to defend the famous doctrine which, as interprets here, would bar such changes as the transfer of French or British posses sions in this hemisphere to other lowers. The resolution, ^ before .going to President Roosevelt for his signature, must return to the Senate for action on minor amendments. \ Just before passage, the House re fused, 104 to 66 on jT standing vote, to add to the ball an amendment stating: ■ “That in the wars of the European powers in matters relating to them selves, we have ne^er taken any part nor does it comfort with our policy so to do.” Representative Tinkham, Republi can of Massachusetts, who offered the amendment, said' the words were tak«»n verbatim, from President Mon roe’s famous declaration of 1823. The House again refused to accept Tinkham’s proposals, when Represm- tative Schafer, Republican of Wis consin, sought to send the bill , back to the foreign affairs committee With |7 instruction to insert toe Tinkham * language. The vote, denying Schaf er’s proposal, was 173 to 37. 4-H Boys and Girls Go To" Camp Thirty-four 4-H clu6 members from Hoke county left Monday mom- iilg for Lake Singletary in Bladen county for toe annual 4-H camp.

Local Far FnHn FDR Discloses Ptan For Universal Training \ The Hoke county chapter of toe American Red Cross is fair from its war relief goal of $800; according to figures obtained"" yesterday from H. L. Gatlin, Jr., treasurer. Only $211. 47 has been contributed in toe coimty so far. Of this amount $17.24 was raised in Quewhiffle township and the remainder in Raeford. There have been no contributions turned in to the treasurer from toe other com- inimities of the county. Committees in every township have been appointed by toe chapter presi- dmt. Dr. R. L. Murray, and Mrs. H. A. Cameron, roll call chairman. These committees have consented to -serve^ this worthy cause by accepting con tributions in their various townships and forwarding them to the coimty treasurer. The people of the county arl urged to turn over to a member of these committees their contribu tions, however smaU, in order that this county may do its small part in toe raising of the $20,000,000 the American Re.d Cross has set as its objective to feed and clothe toe refu gees* from war tom countries and toe tinhabitants of these countries. Seven countries in Europe have en desolated wholly or in part by recently. They are Finland, Po land, Norway, Denmark, The Neth erlands, Belgium and France. Mil lions of persons in these countries are acutely .in geed of food, shelterj and medical attention. The American I^ 4Pi»ss proposes to he|p them to s^e extent through toe generous cooperation of the American people who,-having plenty of what these un fortunate people lack, find it hard to realize toe acute need of toe civil ians who have suffered and are suf fering from the war in Europe. Washington, June 18.—^President Roosevelt disclosed today that he was working on a huge plan for eventual government service for all of Amer ica’s young men, some of whom would be in toe fighting forces and the rest in such vital activities as industrial production and conserva' tion of resources. Young women, too, may be includ ed in the plan, he said at a press con- ference,:at.whirit he:.mnphaaized that a period of jpsciplid^ trau^, say a year for each youthj would be good for tjie young people qf toe nation, besides promoting toe national de fense. Almost as he spoke, toe house naval ■committee, recommended a $4,000,- 000,000 additional naval program, to give the United States far and away toe mightiest navy that ever sailed the seas.' The committee, with its thoughts on toe German m^ch in Europe, acted with unheard of speed. Only thi^ morning it had received toe. program from Admiral Harold R. Starks, toe' chief of naval operations. Stressing that toe idea of universal training was still in the study stage. President Roosevelt said he might have something to say to Congress on he matter in three, four of six 'weeks, if the legislators were still in SK- sion. He did not say whether the plan contemulated calling ,up all young men in certain age groups at the very start, or whether it would be put into effect more gradually. For Cod^perathre On Friday afternoon, June 14, the Board of Directors of toe Lumbee River Electric Membership coopera tive Ifcld a meeting in its office in Raeford for toe purpose of com pleting toe first project to serve por tions of Hoke, Robeson, Cumberland, and Scotland counties. The engineers presented toe Board with toe maps for toe proposed pow er lines. The maps were examined and awJroved for. 461.4 miles of pri mary line, serving 1365 farm families with 1250 prospective customers. The Directors presented toe maps to toe Rural Electrification Admini stration in Washington, D. C., on June 18 for approval and appropria tion^ funds, in order that construc tion of lines can begin at an early datd. It was decided to continue a sup plementary project, as there were ap^ proximately 400 farm families who failed to qUalify on toe A project. D. J. Dalton was re-elected coor dinator to continue this project, and it is hoped that it can be rushed through toe pre-allotment stage in time to be approved and constructed along with toe A project. The Board of Directors appreciate toe fine cooperation that farmers have given throughout toe territory that is to be served. 'The Farm and Home Agents in toe various coim- ties have given a great deal of time assisting farmers in working up such a large project. Several Defenddints Face Recorder Laqr M&yde lams Charlotte, June 18.—The Char, lotte News said D. Lacy McBryde, attorney for toe Carolinas wage-hour administration, defended himself to day for sending a telegram to toe British Emba^y at Washington, which caused the Cumberland Coun ty Bar association to adopt a reso lution condemning his action as “un- American.” His message to toe British Em bassy said that if an American lin er bringing his brother and other ref ugees home from Emope were sunk, “its destruction would be caused by toe British navy and would be direct responsibility of your govern ment, toe destruction being in an effort to get us into toe war against Germany.” , Speaking from a hospital bed where he is convalescing from an op eration, The News said McBryde gave toe following explanation: “We have sense enough to know that Germany would have nothing to gain from sinking an American refugee ship, but that England would have something to gain by sinking such a boat .and blaming it on Ger many. Ttie Americqp people would be inclined to take toe British view because of their prejudice against Germany.” North Cardmii Debt Will Be Cut Heavily Ralei^, June 18.—Nwrth Carolina will have reduced its net State dri>t by $41,537,214.04 during the decade ending July ^Ist, Treasurer Charles M.

The warning was made by J. B. Hutson, assistant AAA administrator, who described toe tobacco situation as toe darkest in toe history of toe crop.

With a tiiree- year program, he said, the govern ment can guarantee a price range of between 15 and 16 cents.
