There are, he said, about 175,000 youths in North Carolina who are not engaged in regular gainful enployment and there are more than 16,000 young North Carolinians now being assisted by NYA, with at least 8,000 who are being helped by work projects teaching some knowledge of trade or industry. In closing his talk Mr. Lang also mentioned changed social conditions which make adult help programs for youths necessary and he complimented the Person County council members for their own active participation in help- PERSQN COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. ful youth guidance work. 4 He also pointed out that ap proximately 90 percent of the youths of this generation must stay at home if they are to find their place and their work In the world. This fact, indicating the closing of city careers and wes tern migration, places the bur den of aid to present day youth squarely upon the shoulders of the men and women now engag ed in active business, said Mr. Lang. Presiding over the meeting was the Rev. M. W. Lawrence, chair man, who called upon the Rox b;ro City Manager, James Har ris, to introduce the speaker. The Invocation was given by the Rev. T. H. Hamilton, of the Presbyter ian church. A brief business session was held and announcement was made that the next meeting of the coun cil will be held at the same hour on the last Wednesday in October. —o Business Men Favor Control (Continued From Front Page) government orders folowing the declaration of war between Eng land and Germany. At the same meeting it was de cided that Mr. Merritt, as presi-' dent of the Roxboro Chamber of i Commerce, should send a tele- j gram to George Burton, of Rocky j Mount, chairman of the sales committee of the Tobacco Asso ciation of the United States, say-1 ing that the local Chamber of Commerce expects cur Roxboro market to reopen on the same date that other markts open. At yesterday afternoon’s con ference it was expressly pointed out that the referendum resoution sdepted is not to be regarded as a Chamber of Commerce resol ution, since many of the signers are representative business men who are not members of the lo cal chambr, although th telegram to Mr. Burton was sent in the name of the chamber. Leaders in the considerable and spirited discussion preceding the drawing up of the resolution and the framing of the telegram, in cluded Mr. Hunter, vice-president of the ePoples bank, and Mr. Ferkins and S. B. Winstead. All of the men present were of the opinion that the sole solution if the prsent crisis lies in the a doption of a crop-control measure for the 1940 tobacco crop, since it has been plainly and repeatedly stated that neither the Imperial Tobacco company nor the Com modity Credit corporation can of effer any assurance that the pre sent market situation can be cleared up and buying re-estab lished unless the growers are willing to cooperate by adopting a reasonable control measure as insurance against over-production of the 1940 cr:p. As a local banker who is in touch with Person county busi ness conditions, Mr. Hunter ad vocated crop control as a protec tive measure capable of re-estab lishing and maintaining business equilibrium both now and in the future. He pointed out that the proposed 1940 crop control mea sure is favored by the North Carolina bankers association for 'he same reas:n; that the measure is to be in force for only the one year, 1940, and the growers, hav ing it in their power to" elect new committeemen, caa have only themselves to blame if they fail to elect oommitteemen who are capable of looking after the grow er’s best interests. In addition, Mr. Hunter reiter ated some of the known facts in regard to the attitudes taken by the British government, the Im perial Tobacco company and the representatives of the Commodity Credit corporation who are work ing with United States Depart ment of Agriculture officials. He emphasized the fact that the U. S. government has no desire to coer ce growers into adopting the re ferendum, but he also stressed the fact that the Imperial Tobac co company’s buyers say that without this cooperation with the referendum measure they will not be able to enter a buying a greement with the Commodity Credit corporation. It was also brought out at the meeting that during the 1914-1918 world War the Turkish tobacco market was closed to British buy ers, whereas today the Turkish markets are still open to English trade, a fact that may mean the present and permanent transfer of a large part of British tobacco trade to Turkey if a British and Flue~Cured Tobacco Growers Are Facing One Os The Most Critical Periods In History 1. We have the largest crop of flue-cured tobacco ever grown; with a surplus of 250,000,000 pounds. In addition to this the Imperial Tobacco Company has with drawn from the market because of the war. They normally purchased about one third of the crop, and pay about 50 percent of the cash received for this one-third. They normally would buy 150,000,000 more pounds of tobacco. Add this to the 250,- 000,000 surplus and we have 400,0 30,000 pounds of surplus tobacco. 2. When the second world-war started, the British pound of sterling dropped un til it is now off about 25 percent. The British government has decided to conserve their gold reserve in this country for the purchase of food and war supplies; as they have on Hand, at present, two years supply of smoking tobacco. Tobacco is a luxury, and not a necessity of life. Our government has tried in every way to get the Imperial back on the market, but has been unsuccessful because of the large difference in money rates. 3. The Commodity Credit Corporation has worked out a plan with the coopera tion of our government, and the Imperial Tobacco Company in this county, for the Imperial buyers to come back on the market, buy the grades they have been buying, at the same price. This tobacco to be bought, processed, redried, graded, put in hogs heads and stored with Imperial grades in government warehouses. The Commodity Credit Corporatoin will'furnish the money, and pay the Imperial one-half of the act ual cost of handling the tobacco. Title to the tobacco will remain in the name of the Commodity Credit Corporation, but they will give the Imperial a period of 20 months in which to purchase this tobacco. If it is not purchased by them during this time, then the Commodity Credit Corporation will sell the tobacco anywhere they can. Note that the government of the United States can not loan money direct to the Imperial Tobacco Company because of the Johnson Act, prohibiting loans to foreign countries that at present owe us money. By reason of the fact that the Imperial is willing to process this tobacco, paying about i/ 2 of the cost, goes to show that they have high hopes of purchasing the to bacco when the exchange difference has been adjusted. 4. This plan depends entirely upon control program being adopted by the farm ers for 1940. The Imperial Tobacco Company is not interested, for business rea sons, if control is not voted, for they know that they can come into the market next year and buy all of their grades much cheaper. The government will not fin ance this deal unless control is voted, as they know that they would lose a great deal of money. WHAT DOES THE FARMER GAIN BY VOTING FOR CONTROL? By voting control for 1940, the farmer gains $40,000,000 dollars put into this years crop by the government. He is assured of prices equal to the average on Imperial grades bought before the market closed. * v*’ s ; WHAT DOES THE FARHER LOSE BY VOTING AGAINST CONTROL? He loses the $40,000,000 the government is offering to put up to aid in purchas ing this year’s crop. Adding the 150,000,000 pounds that would normally be bought by the Imperial to the surplus we already nave, your guess is as good as any one on what this eytra 4 hundred million pounds of tobacco will bring. Experts guess about one-half the price paid before the closing of the market. In addition to that there is another angle to the government’s offer. Before the the last war the Imperial Tobacco Company was using a*large amount of Turkish tobacco. After the war started in 1914, they were unable to get this tobacco be cause Turkey was not friendly towards them. So they started using more Amer ican tobacco. After the war ended Turkey was unable to get back on the British market. Turkey is friendly towards England, at present, and is in position to sup ply them with tobacco. In addition to this, Canada is growing a great deal more tobacco than they grew in 1914. If this offer of the government is not accepted, and the Imperial Company leaves our market for the rest of the year, Turkey stands a good chance of furnishing a large amountof tobacco to the British trade, and it maybe extremely hard for us to regain this trade once it is lost. AH manufacturing concerns exercise control measures over their production, ana only produce in line with consumption, in order that they may survive. It seems it is just as good business sense for the farmers to hold their production in line with consumption in order to survive. The Peoples Bank is deeply interested in the welfare of the Peoples of Person County, and we strongly feel that control should be voted. _ - ®The Peoples Bank ROxboro, N. CT* - J. A. LONG, President.
