A HISTORIC DECISION IN
THE MAKING
A great and historic decision is
in the making as Congressmen line
up in the fight to repeal the Neutra
lity Act and remove the limits on
America’s Defense Waters.
If the faith and confidence of the
American people in their leadership
is to be restored, if the people of
the United States are to know what
the President’s foreign policy is and
how to support it, if the nations of
the world and future generations are
to have friendly regards for the
United States, or any faith in her
democracy, then the President and
Congress must get together and
clear up some of the inconsistency,
confusion, and hypocrisy of our
foreign policy.
Nothing divides th^ ranks and
breaks the morale of a united people
like the broken promises of their
leaders. Just as nations lose faith
in nations that treat their treaties
as a “scrap of paper,” so people lose
faith in leaders who make promises
to get what they want only to break
them to get something else. Many
Administration leaders have changed
their mind,, broken their promise, or
changed 4lK interpretation of their
commitments so often as to leave
many people dizzy with doubt and
confusion.
People want the truth in phrases
that they can understand. To be
leaders in a democracy, men must
speak the language that people under
stand. A year ago the people thought
they knew what constituted the
British Empire and the Western
Hemisphere, but they do not know
now; for this Administration has,
for the exact purpose of violating acts
of Congress, extended the confines
of the British Empire and the Western
Hemisphere beyond that taught in
geography the world over for more
than a hundred years. Polls on public
opinion regarding the support of this
Administration have no meaning now,
for who knows how to answer this
Question: Do you favor convoying
American, ships through “combat
zones” ansrwhere in the “western
hemisphere”? Only the President can
answer this, for he sets the boundary
to these areas.
Another confusing thing is the
way in which the Adminitration deals
in halj-truths. Th manner in which
some Administration leaders deal
with the war news is apt to lead
many people to call for something
they do not want. Some Congressmen
spe2ik about American vessels being
sunk near Iceland, and then proceed
to call upon the Navy to' shoot for
the freedom of the seas. They do not
tell the people that the vessel sunk
was a “Danish” vessel, built in a
foreign port in 1926, and seized by
American in hei* harbor, July 1941,
chartered by the American Govern
ment to the Maritime Conunission
which registered it under the Panama
Government to haul war material
to Europe, flying the flag of Panama
so as to avoid America’s Nutrality
Act and not a single American on
board.
Some people may be ready for
America to start a shooting war in
any ocean to open the way for any
freight boat going to Europe, but
naany people in America, who are
praying that America may not have to
enter this war, do not want American
soldiers to start shooting until some
attacked, and attacked nearer America
tfian Iceland. Nations in Europe are
fighting for the sovereignity of the
seas, not the freedom of the seas. Let
America stand for the freedom of the
seas and regard always the struggle
for the sovereignity of the seas as
an evil to be resisted by all nations.
Let every American sound the bugle
call to bring this Administration out
of the fog of the seven seas to define
a ioreign policy sufficiently clear to
; give all people the chance to line up
fpr or against the issues that are soon
to determine whether America enters
the war in Europe. If you are ready
for the President to enter the war
wltti the army and navy at any point
in the world that he believes neces
sary to American defense, make that
. . Imown to Congress and the Presidbmt
, today. If you want the President to
145 l^eaths From
Preyentable Causes
During August
Raleigh, Sept. 23.—The August
toll of 145 deaths from preventable
accidents in North Carolina brought
the total for the year so far to 1,144,
as compared with 810 during the
corresponding period of 1940, reports
compiled by the State Board of
Health’s Division of Vital Statistics
show. The increase for the month was
25. While a substantial majority of
these deaths resulted from automo
bile accidents, August, with its
torrid weather:, was marked by, 30
drownings in North Carolina, com
pared with 23 in August 1940. But
the State so far this year has been
free from deaths from airphme
accidents.
The rising birth rate that has
characterized 1941 has been accom
panied by an increase in hifant
mortality. There were 431 such deaths
reported in August, as compared
with 385 in August last year, while
births last month totaled 7,370 against
7,173 in August, 1940. ^
Maternal deaths, however, showed
a continued decline, with 35 reported
last month, as compared with 40
the corresponding month last year.
Deaths resulting from diarrhea and
enteritis have shown an increase this
summer. There were 141 last month.
The total for August, last year, was
only 97.
August births brought the year’s
total in North Carolina so far to
56.623, an increase of 3,294 over the
first eight months of 1940, during
whidh time infant deaths totaled
3,520, an increase of 403 over the
corresponding period in 1940, while
maternal deaths showed a decline of
45.
Some deaths occurred last month as
the result of poliomyelitis, commonly
known as infantile paralysis, but
there were four deaths from tetanus,
or lockjaw. Tyhoid Fever claimed
one victim, compared with 6 in
Augcst, 1940, while there was one
death from undulant fever. None
occured in August last year. But
there was a sharp upturn in deaths
from whooping—cough, the August
1941, totaling having been 21, as
compared with 6 a year ago. Malaria
fatalities numbered 3. In Augcst
last year they numbered 11.
Farmers To Get
$23,000.00 At Fair
Raleigh, Sept. 25.—^Premiums for
North Carolina farmers and other
exhibitors at the State Fair, to be
held at Raleigh from October 14
through 18, will total $23,000 or ap
proximately $3,000 above the record
prize money offered last year, Mana
ger J. S. Dorton announced today.
Since the State Department of
Agriculture took over actual opera
tion of the exposition five years ago,
premiums have been steadily in
creased and prizes have been limited
to North Carolinians.
Commissioner of Agriculture W.
Kerr Scott, ex officio director of the
fair, said he was confident that “the
exhibits featuring agriculture, in
dustry and education will reach a
new peak of quality.”
“We are primarily interetsed in
maintaining the State Fair as a
State institution wth primary em
phasis on educational features.”
Commissioner Scott emphasized. “The
enthusiastic support of farmers and
others during the past four expositions
leads us to believe the fair is serving
a a worthwhile department of State
government.”
Election of Triple-A
Committeemen For
1942 Begins Oct. 1st
A schedule of meetings have bem
arranged for each* township to ex
plain the 1942 soil conservajicm pro
gram and to elect community com
mitteemen to serve under the 1942
program according to an announce
ment by A. S. Knowles, county ag
ent Important changes in the pro
gram for next year makes it im
perative that every farmer attend the
meeting in his township in order to
plan the crops in line with the pro
gram. The wheat provision should be
thoroughly understood before any
wheat is planted.
Farmers are urged to select good
competent men as committeemen.
They should not only be qualified
but men that can spare the time that
will be required of committeemen in
1942. It appears that the Triple-A
committeemen will be, called upon to
render a greater service than ever
before. They will be called upon by
the Agricultural National Defense to
assist in reaching the national pro
duction goals for 1942.
The meetings will be held at 7:30
p. m. as follows:
Allendale township October 1, at
community hoyse.
Raeford township, October 2, at the
courthouse.
