NORTH CAROLINA Bz Months . __________ Three Months IMS paper does not accept rerponsibUUy lor the titowe of correspondents on any Question. Second Class Matter January 19,1923, Entered as «t the Postoffice at Wallace, North Carolina under the Act of March 3, 1879 Knife THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1946 Shift To U. S. Plan Newspaper correspondents in Fans, at tending the Peace Conference, report that there has been an encouraging drift toward American proposals for a world trade or ganization. Some of the other nations which have been cool to the proposal of the United States that discriminatory trade regulations be removed, have seen what happened when Russia secured an agreement with Rumania, making the Rumanian economy subservient to the Russians. The reflection of what this will mean to the world, if followed by other nations, explains the sentiment now shifting to the American plan. Banker Talks For Farmers Mr. T. V. Bailey, president of the Ameri can Bankers Association, is giving us the spectacle of a banker intensely interested in the welfare of agriculture. In speaking recently to a group of finan cial advertisers in San Francisco, Mr. Bailey pointed out that a well-balanced rural banking structure is essential to a sound na tional economy and discussed the present position of agriculture. On the favorable side, he finds that the farmers of this nation have reduced their mortgage indebtedness to about $5,000,000, 000 from a figure that once approached $11, 000,000,000, that farmers ..have the largest cash balances they ever held and that they havecreated soil reserves of equal impor tance with cash reserves. Mr. Bailey found that the unfavorable side deals with problems connected with the rise in farm land prices. He pointed out that these are inevitable when farm land prices rise above that value from which a profitable income can be taken over a period of years. Big Business Man . W. Averill Harriman, who has just taken office as Secretary of Commerce, candidly admits that he is a big business man, with no pretentions of being anything else. This is refreshing because it is the truth. However, Mr. Harriman, in connection with taking office, gives expression to principles, which, if followed by Americans, would do the country a lot of good. Asked whether he regarded himself as a representative of the business point of view in the Cabinet, the new Secretary pointed out that he was hired by the American peo ple as a whole and that while he would fur ther the point of view of American business, he would do so only when it was in the na tional interest. "The welfare of the country as a whole is of overwhelming importance,” declared Mr. Harriman, in urging patience and goodwill on all sides. He suggested that we "ear nestly attempt to understand the point of view and problems of other individuals and jj groups” and that we particularly “must nft take advantage of the present disloca to further unfairly our own special in ?r:'vv.

He also advises business men to “take a nap at noon when ever possible." There is, of coruse, no way to persuade the average business man to take a nap, but the chances are that Dr. Page is thoroughly correct in saying that this is advisable if business men expect to live long and have a useful life in this area of high-speed living. Radar "Saw” Through Clouds Clouds that marred or obliterated the celestial display of meteors trailing the comet, Giacobini-Zinneir, could not prevent scientists using radar from “seeing” the display above the fog and clouds. The comet, which approaches the earth every six and a half years, was 24,000,000 miles away but its tail, consisting of pieces torn from the main body, passed the earth early this month within 131,000 miles. In a few places, where favorable weather conditions permitted, observers reported many dashing projectiles and one observer, in Chicago, counted 149 in ten minutes. He regarded the exhibition as unmatched in the United States since 1900. Other scien tists called the display the most spectacular they had ever seen. Authors Who Know Nothing General Dwight L. Eisenhower, Com mander of Allied Armies in Western Eu rope, takes cognizance of certain books that have been published on both side of the Atlantic and expresses wonder that certain njisconceptions have gotten about and how some men cpuld be so authoritative when they know nothing about it at all. One of the books was written by Ralph Ingersoll, with the title, “Top Secrets,” and the American General admits that he can not account for Mr. Ingersoll’s book but that it looks as if someone thought he had a torch to carry. Mr. Ingersoll was rather criti cal of Viscount Montgomery, the British Commander, and implied that there were strained relations .between Ae British and American commairoers. 1 '' General Eisenhower was emphatic in as serting that close friendly relations existed at all times between him and Viscount Montgomery and in general between the Americans and the British. He said he him self had sworn that he would not write his memoirs but he was beginning to feel that at least, he could tell the truth even if he did not know how to write. It is also interesting to note that the Gen eral admitted that the book by General Montgomery is the only one that he had read and that, in his opinion, it was a very workmanlike account of what had happened. Farmers Set New Records The farmers of the United States produc ed the greatest crops in the nation’s history, according to the Department of Agricul ture, which says that production will be 2.5 per cent more than the previous record of 1941 and 26.4 per cent above the 1922-32 average. With record crops of com and wheat, the Department reports thaf feed grains will run four per cent above the 1942 record and that food grain- production likewise topped any previous year. In addition to com and wheat, record ’Crops are alreaay H5SUICU iui pUlRlUKS, TO4*1 bacco, peaches, pears, plums and truck crops. Near records are already set for oats, rice and peanuts a^d probably grapes, cher ries and sugar-cane. Cotton production, on the other hand, has dropped to the lowest level in twenty-five years. Other below-aver age crops are rye, broom com, dried beans and pecans. The mammoth production has been ac complished by the farmers of the nation under severe handicaps. The lure, of course, has been prevailing high prices, which af ter all, are the spur of producers, whether one is thinking about crops, products pr machines. Many prominent men have asserted that agriculture is the backbone of the nation’s prosperity and, if this is correct, it behooves responsible Americans to attempt to pro vide a permanent pride situation that will ..encourage all-out production by our farm ers. Naturally, the growers will have to switch their crops and use good judgment in selecting what to plants basing their con clusions upon statistical positions, the prob able price and the possible need for what they intend to produce. fvUneatof time,’’ Beget own Son into the world “at many as received Hi them gave He' power to be come the sons of God, even to them that believe on Hie Name” lJohn 1:12).
