C\ Nickle-A-Bale War Chest For Cotton On Way Cotton firms and cotton farm ers of Roxboro and surrounding area were called on today by Pre sident Oscar Johnston of the Nat ional Cotton Council for “100 per cent allegiance in cotton’s war for increased consumption.” In a message addressed to local producers throughout the county President Johnston declared that “the raw cotton industry is arm ing as never before in its history to smash to smash down tha blitzkrieg of substitutes, surplus, and foreign competition.” The message came simultan eously with the National Cotton Council’s announcement of a “uni versal service” plap to provide funds with which to carry on the fight during the coming year. The new plan, to go into effect August 1, calls for a defense fund of five cents on every bale of lint and three cents on every ton of seed, mobilized with the help of each of the primary raw cotton interests. Under the new plan, arrange ments have been perfected for the producer to make his nickle a-bale contribution at the first point of sale, either to the cot ton merchant, large or small, or the ginner or warehouseman act ing as merchant. This contribut ion is carried on from merchant to compressor, who remits the ac cumulated funds to the Council when the bale is first compdess ed, or from merchant* to textile mill which remits on uncompres sed cotton. Similarly, contributions on seed, which are made by the ginner and crusher, are assembled and remitted to the war chest by the oil mills. “For fifty years we cotton far mers have been talking about an organization like the National Cotton Council to defend our markets and find new ones thru judicious advertising, intelligent research, and organized opposit ion to restrictive legislation. Atj last we have it, and 'in two years equipped with modem weapons, it has accomplished more than any of us thought was possible in so short a period. “Domestic consumption has been brought back virtually to the all-time high, with every in dication that a new record can be set in 1941. Plans are ready for a vigorous attack on the acute problem of foreign trade. Council scientists are on the trail of new uses. A united cotton industry has gone to war.” Nazis’ Paris* Parade Recalls Days of 1871 £ .... . ■**^ A field artillery regiment of the conquering Nazi army parades through Paris following the capitulation of the French forces.
