This is a neat litttle study in rela
tivity.”
The Peoria case seems to be one
where ignorance of the necessity of
animal experimentation by qualified
scioitists drove well-meaning people
to a dangerous extreme of action. If
experimentation on animals is for
bidden, the experiments must be
made on human beings. Science can
not guess. It must prove. And proof
comes only from eiqserimentation.
Medical experimentation on ani
mals has resulted in some of the
greatest and most bcineficial medical
discoveries. It has been the means
of saving hundreds of thousands of
human beings from suffering and
death. To forbid it, would turn bade
the clock of medical advancement.

PRICES WILL FOLLOW

The government’s efforts to control
prices, Business Week /recenUy ob
served, are “meeting difficulties.”
Despite the work of Leon Henderson’s
office, commodity prices continue to
TIME TO SAVE.
nse.
There is a very sound reason for
that. The reason is wages. It should
be obvious to anyone that prices and
wages still follow the same course.
It is utterly unreasonable to expect
that we can fix prices and at the
same time permit wage level to
steadily rise.
During this defense boom, wages
have-xisen much faster than produc
tion. %n the year ending last June,
payrolls increased 42 per cent—while
manufacturing output increased only
30 per cent. Wage increases have
also been far greater than price
increases.
The efforts of business and the
government to control . prices will
prove completely ineffectual if this
trend continues. In some lines, of
which retail merchandising is per
haps the most outstanding, prices
have been held down for the reason
that business has taken smaller
profits. That cannot go on inde
finitely, in the face of the wage trend.
If we are to have an upward wage
spiral, we must have an upward
price' spiral with it. If we are to
place a workable ceiling over prices,
on the other hand, we must also
place a ceiling over wages. There are
no alternatives. And the sooner we
realize that, the sooner the price-
wage problem will be solved.
As banking authorities are pointing
out, saving on the part of the public
is especially important now.
Saving does two things, both of
which are desiijable and necessary.
First, it builds up a backlog for
the future when the defense program
will be over and we will have to
return to some sort of normal basis
of living.
Second, it diverts money from the
consumer goods .markets—and that,
in turn, helps build up the stocks of
materials needed for military pre
paredness.
Today the government is urging
the people to purchase the special
defense bonds and stamps newly
issued by the Treasury. The banks
of America, knowing full well the
gravity of our economic problems,
are cooperating fully in the endea
vor, without a nickel of profit to
themselves. When we loan to the
government, we are directly aiding
defense, we are investing in the
safest loiown form of security, and
we are helping fight inflation.
Every family should make defense
bond purchases an integral part of
its budget for as long as the emer
gency endures. Buy as many bonds
as you can. And don’t dispose of
them unless it is absolutely unavoid
able.
POOLE'S MEDLEY

As we all know the United States
recently occupied Iceland, and most
of us thought Iceland to be what
its name indicates, but in that coun
try, and is the case in England, the
Gulf Stream so effects the climate,
it is inhabitable.
I remember when the colored peo
ple^ first started to school, my bro
ther asked a colored boy his own
age, if he were studing Geography,
and the boy said: “I don’t know
what you are talkin’ about—^that’s
beyon’ my laticUe.”
The Negroes are being educated
beyond the expectation of the most
sanguine and are developing into te-
totalists also, while many o us know
well what ruin has been done the
Negro race since freedom. Many of
them learned in the school of expe
rience.
I am not enthusiastic ovfer a road

it’s being a help to any community,

RELATIVITY.
A short time ago, a dog which was
suspected of having rabies ran loose
in the city of Peoria, Illinois. The
animal had bitten a 7-year old boy.
If the dog was not captured at once
to test him for rabies, the boy would
have to take anti-rabies inoculation
—which is both painful and some
what risky.
The dog got loose because three
women undertook to stage a “dog
delivery” at the city pound in protest
against animal experimentation which
they contended entailed suffering on
the part of the animals.
Commenting on this, the Peoria
Journal Transcript said: “Apparently
the question thus posed is one of
relativity in suffering. Even if it
be assumed that the charge animals
suffer under experimentation is true
(a charge denied by medical research
workers), the situation presently
disclosed here is that if the dog
which is a rabies suspect escapes
capture and return to the pound, the
boy bitten by the dog will certainly
A flood of reports from pll around
the globe hinted last night that action
of major importance was about to
take place in the Far East. Most
reports hinted at a Japanese drive
southward into French Indo-China.
Japan clamped down a strict cen
sorship over both radio and cable
communication. President Roosevelt
in telling of the move at his press
conference in Washington, declined
to say whether he expected any new
aggressive move by Japan in the near
future, but when asked whether he
thought Toyko’s action significant he
replied in the affirmative.
Japan and France were reported
negotiating over French Indo-China,
and British sources heard that the
negotiations concerned Japanese
demands.
The Japanese press, which often
reflects official opinion, charged
that the Chinese, British and Free
French forces were prepared to'
invade French Indo-China, and the
German radio said that in the event
of such 'an invasion “measures
would be taken immediately.”
Neutral military observers in
Shanghai said they were skeptical
of the origin of the Japanese re
port, which was datelined Hong
Kong. Declaring they doubted the
British censor at Hong Kong would
pass such a story, they suggested
that there fight be a similarity
between the report and German ac-

The-JIorth Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation, under the leadership of
J. E. Winslow, Greenville, President,
and R. Fl^e ShaWi Greensboro,
Secretary, is calling four district
meetings in four different cities of
North Carolina to discuss with the
farmers of this state the vital ques
tions facing North Carolina Agri
culture as a result of pr^^nt unstabi
lized conditions throughout the world.
The discussions will be under tiie
supervision of Walter L. Randolph,
President of the Alabama Farm Bur
eau Federation, and an expert on the
cotton problems of the south. Mr.
Randolph was one of. the leaders in
the concessional figjht for 85%
parity. In addition to Mr. Randolph,
J. B. Hutson, President of the Com
modity Credit Corporation and per
haps the best informed man in the
United States on 'flue-cured tobac
co, will address the Greenville meet
ing; and Ben Kilgore, Executive
Secretary, of the Kentucky Farm
Bureau and James Thigpen of the
Agricultural Adjustment A«bninis-
toation will address the Asheville
and Greensboro meetings. Final
plans have not been made for the
Gastonia meeting. However, Mr,
Shaw states that I. W. Duggan, Di
rector of the^Southern Region, has
been invited to discuss the cotton
situation.
President Winslow and Secretary
Shaw state that these meetings are
ISeing |:alled for the following pur
poses:
1. To explain Farm Bureau Parity
Loan Legislation recently passed by
Congress and ^he benefits each in
dividual farmer will receive from
this new legislation.
2. To plan organized movement
throughout the state to . get this
temporary parity legislation made
permanent.
3. To inaugurate a campaign for
parity loan benefits to producers of
non-basic crops like truck crops,
vegetables, etc.
Dates and places of these meetings
are as follows:
Asheville, July 22nd. 10:00 A. M.
Assembly Room, Court House
Greensboro, July 23rd. 10:00 A. M.

The North Carolina Farm Bureau,
says Secretary Shaw, is very proud
of its record in cooperation with the
American Farm Bureau in sponsoring
the recent pmity loan legislation in
Congress which 'will mean $25,000.-
000 additional money to our gre^^rs
of tobacco, cotton, peanuts, \and
wheat, and we are anxious to explain
all details of this new legislation to
the farmers of the state, particularly
just how each individual farmer w^
benefit therefrom.
We hope, therefore, that we will
have a representative attendance from
very copnty at the district meeting
most convenient for the counties to
attend.
Then, in addition, we hope to work
out a common agreed upon plan for
getting behind a movement to make
the above legislation permanent in
stead of for only one year as the
present law leads.
Still another reason for the district
meetings, stated Secreary Shaw, is
that we want some action taken now
that will extend the parity loan bene
fits to non-basic crops like truck
crops, vegetables, etc.

I saw him a few days ago. He said
he still had plenty to live on, but he
is still mad about losing his money.

chewed tobacco. One took out his
