Deane Attending
Peace Conference
At San Francisco
Washington. D. C., August 24—
Representative Charles B. Deane
of the Eighth Congre^ional Dis
trict on Friday morning, follow
ing the recess taken by the House
on Thursday, flew out of Wash
ington on a scheduled non-stop
flight by the Military Air Trans
port Service to Los Angele.s.
From Los Angeles Cor.gress-
,'ran, Deane will go at his own c.k-
pense as a Congressional observ
er to the Japanese Peace Conier-
ence in San Francisco.
'Mr. Deane had this Sin Fran
cisco Conference in nnnd when on
Sunday, August 19, he alon.g with
Congi’essman Walter H. Jud.l of
Minnesota, were the participants
in the Columbia Broadcastin,g
television program, “Peoples Plat
form”, which was carried through
out the East and Middle West.
During this progran?* Mr. Deane
expressed the belief that as we
approached the fifth ani’.ivers.irj'
of VJ-pay we were nearer peace
despite tremendous obstacles.
This was true, , he said, in view
cf the fact that withi:i a short
time 40 odd nations will sit down
together in San Francisc.)- and
sigu a peace of reconciliation ■with
Japan.
The Eighth District Congres.*:-
mian pointed out that this San
Frandsco Conference is being
thought out in terins . f a Christ
ian Peace without vindictiveness
*anci it is without prcoedent in the
history of peace treaties.
Mr. Deane was high in his
pff.ise of John Foster’ Dulles, a
key U. S. representative at the
^^Sh,5:#^*ljce,..who has . insisted on a
■peace of reconciliatici. Furiher-
mcie, Deane said that this would
not be another Peic* like Ver
sailles which folLwod World
War 1. .
Congressman ‘Dame further
stated that while thaj" might m.t
be very much he ooul.j do at this
Conference it would be a far-
rc aching experience.^^ It is his
opinion that the furture of civi
lization could take place in the
Far East and the Jai^dnese people
as,4hey throw off military dicta
torship will have a tremendous
influence in the spread of De
mocracy in that part of the world.

stocks are small ■ and demand is
near the highest on record. With
Government loans available to
protect the price and ‘feed’ the
crop to market as needed, farmers,
will have only themselves to blame
if they flood the market with
their 1951 cotton crop.”
Experience under past cotton
loan programs indicates that far
mers benefit from orderly market
ing which Government loans make
possible.
North Carolina loan rates aver
age about 32 and one half cents
for 15-16 inch. With a loan, the
producer not only assured him
self of at least that much income,
but he helps strengthen the market
and protects prices.
If the market price advances,
the producer can repay bis loan
and sell his cotfon above loan val
ue, or else his cotton will be
pooled and he will receive a
share of any profits resulting from
its sale by the Commodity Credit
Corporation; For the 1948 crop,
such profits amounted to $67 mil
lion, or an average of about $17.-
50 a bale. Since the loan is “non
recourse,” the producer has no
obligation to make good on any
loss the Government might incur
from a declihe in the npark^t Tftrice.
“The cotton loan can help a
lot.” Chairman Smith said, ‘‘and
it’s only common sense for a farm
er to protect bis investment with
a loan in years when a large crop
could upset the market. Each farm
er must be the judge on placing
his cotton under loan, but he
should consider carefully the ad
vantages of the loan program.” .
Information about the cotton
loan program may be obtained at
the county PIMA office.

Plans To Be Made
September 7 For
Nov. Referendum
"An important meeting to make
plans for the state-wide refer
endum which is to be voted on in
November will be held at the
Courthouse in Raeford on Friday
evening, September 7, at 7:30”
says T. B. Upchurch, Jr. County
temporary Chaiiinan.
■The 195rgeneral Assembly au
thorized a referendum by farm
people on the question of adding
five cents to the price of each ton
of fertilizer and feed sold, :he
money thus raised to be used by
the Agricultural Foundation of
State College to further the Ag
ricultural research program in
North Carolina. There are many
problems facing North Carolina
agriculture today and the deter
mination of a group ,of farm lead
ers to meet these problems with
ample facilities prompted the in
auguration of a new program for
additional support in the varied
fields of agricultural research.
Around three hundred thousand
farms in North Carolina face pro
blems. In per capita income North
Carolina ranks 44th among the
States of the Union even though
there is a 600 million-dollar in
come apnually in agriculture. .
State appropriations alone are
not sufficient to develop the type
of top program in research that
North Carolina needs if the state
is to assume its rightful place as
the leader in agricultural progress
in the Southeast. It is estimated
that under the proposal the aver
age farmer will coptribute not over
20 or 30 cents a year to the sup-
.of agfijultural resear^. This
amount seems small but with all
farmers contributing the yearly
return from such a system is ex
pected to be around $100,000.
At the meeting on Friday even
ing permanent chairman and
committee will be named. Farm
organization leaders, heads of ag
ricultural agencies, business lead,
ers, newspaper representati'ves,
farmers and farm women are
urged to be present. “We earnest
ly solicit the support of all farm
people and all allied groups in
