Washington, Nov. 4 With
election anxieties off their minds,
Washington officials, in and out
of Congress, are turning atten
tion back to the more serious
business of defense preparations.
How seriously the international
situation is taken by those who
know most about it, from this
country's point of view, can hard
ly be put into words.
One has to talk to the men

who are trying to build up our
national armaments, who will
have the fighting to dq if it
comes to that, who are trying to
keep the troubled waters of dip
lomacy properly oiled, to get a
true impression of the gravity of
the crisis which confronts the
United States, as those who are
closest to it regard it. It isn't so
much what any of them says, as
the way it is said, which im
presses the listener.
There is more public attention
being centered upon the begin
nings of something like mobiliz
ing the nation's manpower than
upon what the best-informed
men here consider of far greater
immediate importance, the speed
ing up of munitions production.
For, no matter how fast we can
train and equip an army, the
prospect of having to send it into
action depends upon how fast we
can supply Britain with airplanes,
powder and shot, ships, food and
medical supplies.
i That is the official view, not
as openly expressed as it might
be, but much more openly than
It was before election. To all in
tents and purposes, we are com
mitted to giving the British every
possible aid short of sending an
armed force of our own men—
which they couldn't use and don't
want.
To Help British
To help the British by giving
them all the planes and other
fighting tools that we can spare
is looked upon in Washington as
a cheaper way of staving off a
possible direct conflict with Hit
ler than it would be for the
United States to take the atti
tude that the conflict between
England and Germany is none of
our concern. We can't afford to
let England be defeated, is the
way men in high position are now
putting the matter. There is no
fear of possible adverse election
results to keep men's lips sealed
now.

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
PETERSON CO.
HERE NOV. r
Will Provide "Music of the
Moderns" Featuring New
Musical Instrument
FITZGERALD WILL SING
The Doris Peterson Company,
headed by vivacious, attractive,
and dashing Doris herself, comes
here on November 8 to provide
the music of the moderns in the
third program of the Collins Fes
tival, sponsored by the Elkin Ki
wanis club, benefit of underpriv
leged children's fund, and she
will, of course, especially feature
the music of the marimba.
Miss Peterson's own musical
career is at once astonishing and
reassuring to those who are look
ing forward to an evening of un
usual and thrilling enjoyment.
She began in 1933, in Chicago, as
a member of the World's Fair
Marimba Band, and in 1935 was
one of the youngest members of
the International Marimba Sym
phony Orchestra, played solo
parts on their European tour,
and also at a concert held in Car
negie Hall, New York.
At 17, Miss Peterson won the
city-wide marimba and xylo
phone contest in Chicago, won
district, state, and finally, na
tional contests. A triumph last
year was her appeaarncf as a
guest of Bing Crosby on the
Kraft Music Hall program, and
proof of her popularity and the
appeal of her unique instrument
was her recall for an encore
within a few weeks. The marim
ba, newest of concert discoveries,
has proven to be the ideal in
something different for musical
programs, and the Collins Festi-
of the actual progress of the re
armament program. While nearly
$10,000,000,000 of planes, guns,
tanks and other munitions have
been contracted for, it will be
months, and in some cases years
before the materials thus ordered
will begin to be delivered. The
ones which will come quickest
are those for which factories are
already equipped and have been
turning out the identical articles
for some time. That is true in
the case of certain types of air
planes, the production of which
can be increased rapidly because
the basic development work has
already been done.'
Standardization Sought
But it happens that most of our
American military planes have
been produced, so far, on an ex
perimental basis. Only a few
types, mostly of training planes,
have been standardized. And
American manufacturers supply
ing planes to Britain have been
called upon to make machines
different in many important re
spects from anything American
military men will accept.
Now such obstacles are being
straightened out. Over loud roars
of protest from some of our own
military and naval experts, agree
ments have been arrived at for
reduction of military planes to a
limited number of standardized
types which will be used by the
British as well as by our own
forces. Similar agreements are
said to have been made in respebt
to other war supplies, such as
tanks, anti-aircraft guns and the
like, so that replacements of
parts for British equipment "can
be made by using parts of Amer
ican weapons.
While there is little in the way
of surface indications to suggest
that anybody in Washington is
concerned greatly over the Jap
anese situation, there are a good
many questions to be answered
before anybody can say there is
no danger of hostilities between
this country and Japan.
The best diplomatic brain in
our foreign service is Joe Grew,
our Ambassador to Japan. He is
understood to have personal ac
cess to the Mikado himself when
ever he desires it. And the un
derstanding in Washington is
that the Mikado is trying to con
ciliate the war party which is in
control of the Japanese govern
ment, and if he fails to appease
them he is likely to assume his
personal authority as Son of
Heaven and throw the warmong
ers out.
Minor Busisess Boom
In the meantime, while the Na
tional Guardsmen and the recent
volunteer recruits of the Army
are being housed in encampments
reminiscent of World War days,
cantonments are under construc
tion for the first batch of
draftees and the problem of
clothing and equipping them is
already starting a minor business
boom. The Army's plan of or
ganization will mingle drafted
men with National Guardsmen,
volunteers and the old-line Reg
ulars so that every Army division
will contain an equal proportion
of all and there will be no siich
thing as there was in the World
War, when drafted divisions were
separate from volunteer divisions.
Anyway, there isn't a corner of
the nation where the people ,
won't be fully aware that Uncle I
Sam is getting ready for trouble.
val brings this community the
ultimate in this type of per
formance.
With Miss Peterson will be
featured Robert Fitzgerald and
his robust and dramatic tenor
voice. He has appeared in noth
grand and light opera, with act
ing parts in several outstanding
productions. He comes from a
long line of musical personages;
his mother was Mary Billsbury,
well-known prima donna with
the Aborn Opera Company, and
his grandmother was one of the
Trimbles—a famous singing fam
ily which produced also Louise
Homer.
Mr. Fitzgerald has studied with
such teachers and coaches as
Forrest Lamont and Sebastian
Anstoem, and has an unusual
ability to please audiences. A
charming young pianist, with
rrjusic in her finger-tips, com
pletes this group, and assures an
evening of unique enjoyment.
Building
Given Free to
N. C. Farmer
Prof. David S. Weaver, head of
the Department of Agricultural
Engineering at N. C. State Col
lege, has renewed the offer of his
department to supply building
plans free to farmers through
their county agents and he an
nounces that 150 or more new
plans are available.
The new plans are illustrated
in a book just published by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
containing a wide range of de
signs for farm buildings and
equipment from eight-room
dwellings to hog troughs and.

prepared to illustrate and list
plans agreed upon by agricultur
al engineers of State Colleges and
Extension Services of 12 South
ern states.
"With these new plans, and
many others drawn during the
past year especially for North
Carolina conditions by our Ex
tension architect, James H.
Walsh, we are better prepared
than ever to serve Tar Heel farm
people," Prof. Weaver declared.
He emphasized, however, that all
requests for blueprints should be
made through county farm and
home agents of the Extension
Service.
"This will eliminate extended
correspondence," he said, "be
cause we have, for instance, 15
farm dwellings in the new U. S.
D. A. list and 52 farm dwellings
in our North Carolina list. They
range from two to eight-room
houses. When a farmer writes in
for a set of plans for a dwelling,
we seldom have any way of
knowing which of the 67 blue
prints on file to send him.
