iFuture historians, in writing
about United States foreign policy,
are likely to attach considerable
significance to events in the Sen
ate during the past week.
Those events produced indica-

implement Co.
tions of a possible revival of the
bipartisan foreign policy which,
fhret, had iost strength from the
death of the late Senator Vanden-
berg and, second, had been all
but shattered by the dismissal of
General MacArthur.
The reaffirmation of this two-
party policy, if it ^ould come
about, undoubtedly would provide
the historians with interesting
niaterial.
First of all, the fortimes of that
policy would havd fallen and then
risen again because of events
connected with a single -area of
the world—^the Far East.
The policy, into the support of
which the late Michigan Senator
led a majority at his Reptd}lican
colleagues, received its worst
blow when MacArthur was re
lieved as Far East Commander.
The criticism directed against
the President by Republicans in
Congress was as scathing as any
that had been heard on Capitol
Hill in years. One Republican
Senator, Jenner of Indiana, call
ed for impeachment of Mr. Tru-
nian. Others, including Knowland
of California, demanded—and got
—an investigation.
Now comes the Japanese peace
treatly, adopted at San Francisco
by all of the attending interna
tional delegates except those from
Russia and her satellites—^who
weren’t expected to sign it any
how.
The treaty represents a distinct
Advance for the free nations in
the Far East and an unmistakable
Setback for communism in that
same area of the world.
, V
The treaty is the product of a
year’s efforts by John Foster
Dulles, RepuUican advisor to the
State Department. The San Fran
cisco conference, at which the
treaty was approved by an over
whelming majority of delegates,
was the product of the (Democratic
Administration. It was pr^ided
over by the chief Administration
sp(^esman on foreign policy, Sec
retary of State Adieson.
Last week Senator Knowland
was the first to urge the Senate
to ratify the Japanese treaty and,
in so doing, make it officially ac
ceptable to the United States.
Knowland was^seconded by Sena
tor Smith, Republican of New
Jersey, and they tooth had praise
for the results of the San Fran
cisco conference.
Moreover, both Senators prais-
ity. Should the people of North
Carolina ncmiinate and elect me
Governor, such experience and
aibility as are mine will be devoted
to serving the best interests of the
State I love.
I make this formal announce
ment brief, but at the proper time
will present my suggestions for
the continuing development of
North Carolina.
I acknowledge with sincere
appreciation the assurance of sup
port that have come to me from
all sections of the State, and I in
vite and respectfully solicit the
support of all., North Carolinians.

FHA Families Help
Defense Production
Chief aim' of farm families
cooperatin in local program of the
Farmers Home Administration this
fiscal year will be to bring their
farms to maximiim efficiency and
help produce the food, feed, and
fiber needed for national defense,
Hulbert C. Chaney, Hoke FOA
County Supervisor said today.
A total of 146 family farmers
in this area are currently using
the agency’s supervised credit to
buy, enlarge, develop, or operate
Wrms, 6r to improve inadequate
housing. As a result, these families
are now better able to raise pro
ducts in short supply.
Mr. Chaney stated that “The
Small Farm” is greatest potential
source of domestic agricultural
labor. Yet it is producing far be
low capability because land is
not being effectively used and cap
ital reserves or suitable credit is
lacking. The Sparkman Commit
tee of the Unit^ States Senate has
pointed out that a million farm
families over the Nation are
