PATtnhllean oratory indi tates Very paainly the lin wf attack to be followed during the presiden , mnabrn. The party's appeal h neoole will be based upon criti cism of the New Deal, ith its over centralised authority in the hands of i, lfeutAral 0)vmment and the al- legation that, despite this and the expenditure or nuge sums m v-v priming, the plight of the unemploy ed, the farmer and the nation is about as bad, or worse, than it was seven ear ago. From now on, the Republicans will not be hampered by Democratic strategy to postpone debate on the issues of the day. Uncertainty as to when the ' Democrats will meet will not deter Republican speakers from lambasting ' the record of the New Deal. Silence on the part of the President hb to his intentions will not preclude acceptance of his chal lenge to make the results of his Ad ministration the issue.. Regardless of whether the Democrats nominate a New Dealer or a Conservative, the essential Republican strategy, win oe to hammer along the same lines, stressing the incompetence of the Democrats and their unfitness to govern this country. The Republicans will turn their guns upon the deficit-spending theory, assail the continued line of unbalanced budgets and insist that a victory for their party will decrease interference with business which, freed from restricutions and fears, will take the lead in restoring a per manent prosperity to the nation. This, it seems, will be the strategy if the Republican leaders, so far as domestic issues are concerned. Upon foreign relations, there seems to be .no present crystalization of position -and the attitude of the Republican party awaits clarification in respect to the President's foreign policies. With international affairs in the present state of confusion, with no man knowing what the next month wil produce, it is difficult for oppo nents of the Administration to peda forically outline a position to be tak en next year. Only the trend of events and the course of the cam paign will definitely outline positions on foreign affairs. The Democrats, after selecting Chicago for their meeting place, left the date of the convention to be fixed by Chairman Fariey. This maneuver will permit the party in power, if it chooses, to hold its convention after the Republican convention has named a candidate and framed a platform. Meanwhile, the President will vigor ously defend his Administration and attempt to convince the country as a whole that his Administration has made significant progress in meeting the problems of the nation. The reader may take it for granted that Mr. Roosevelt is more interested in perpetuating the New Deal re forms than in promoting the strategy : of the Democratic Party. The Chief Executive is not only sincere , in his belief that great strides have been made forward, but equally sincere in the opinion that the nation wil take a serious step backward if it aban : dons the gains which have been made. Leaving Washington last week for a cruise, the President will have an opportunity to escape some of the pressure which always sexists in Washington. Undoubtedly, he will ponder the possibilities of the future,' particularly his own course of action in the' event that the "Draft Roose velt" movement in his party as sumes formidable proportions. Gen erally, it is agreed that Mr. Roosevelt can get the Democratic nomination and that he will get it unless he lakes action to prevent his renomi nation. Regardless of the general -debate about the third term and the conflicting statements seen in print, -there is no reason to change the statement repeatedly made in this 'column that the President prefers - to retire, but will run again if de welopmeats in Europe, in his 'opinion, imake it desirable, or if it appears -that without his candidacy his New ADeal program is facing the threat of - 'dbeiag, uprooted. JDespite 4he newspaper r headlines, proclaiming '"cuts" and "slashes" in the budget estimates, there is no way i ; to tell whether there will be economy i or not. Of csurse, the House has made some reductions in the figures submitted by the Chief Executive, ; but it must be remembered that these t iter" ? go- to the 'Senate, -where they ? mr, be restore J A Even if both hous es ? rovfe the "economies" they, may l? i.'-ored in a later deficiency bill. . early, port f practically every on of Congress,, exhibits Van -ny "drive.

Judging from the past, ier staking a paper re- cord, , accepts the Senate's -. figures For example, last year to House passed seventeen appropriation bills, carrvinar 8891.000.000. Tn" Bame bills, when the Senate goV; through with them, had been increased $703, 000,000. The House'accepted $603, 000,000 of the, Senate increasea, . The 'greatest peace-time JNvy sup- dIv bill was Maced before tne nous by fc r iioMmitt measure appropriates $866,722878 which, besides the . regular expense of the naval establishment, provides funds to continue the construction of eight battleships, seven cruisers, two aircraft carriers, forty-two aestroy ers, twenty submarines and eighteen auxiliary vessels. In addition,1 it pro vides for new ships to be laid down durinsr the 1941 fiscal year as lot lows: Two additional 45,000-ton bat tleships, one aircraft carrier, two cruisers, eight-destroyers, six sub marines, one submarine tender, three seaplane tenders and one mine sweeper. Readers should understand that this is an appropriation bill, not to be confused with an authorization program. There is pending in Con gress a Committee-endorsed bill to authorize construction within the next two years of twenty-one addi tional warships, twenty-two auxiliary vessels and about -1,000 mere air planes. This measure carries no ap DroDiiation and unless Congress subseauentlv orovides the money, it means nothing at all The size of the Navy of this nation is established theoretically by an au thorization just as the size of the debt, of the nation is limited to $45, 000,000,000. Authorization of a Navy of stated size does not initiate the construction of a single schooner. After the authorization has been passed, setting the size of the Navy by law, Congress appropriates money for the construction of ships. The history of the Navy reveals fits and starts in the process of con structing a fleet in being. In 1921, nearly $300,000,000 worth of fighting ships were sunk in the disarmament parley. For eleven years, we ex pected the world to shape itself to ward peace and during that time the United States laid down a grand total! of thirty-six ships, against 156 by Japan and 123 by England. Presi dent Roosevelt, in his first year in office, allocated $238,000,000 from emergency funds for the construction of 32 ships. The nexj year, the Vin-son-Trammell Act gave us 94 addi tional ships, 45 of which are now in service and the rest in various stages of construction. In May, 1938, came the billion-dollar building program, but, up to the first of this, month, Congress had actually appropriated only $70,000,000 . and the Fleet has been increased by exactly two oil tankers, purchased ready-built. However, under construction are the vessels listed above, some of which will take their places in the Fleet this year, and the complete pro gram is expected to be finished by 1944. The present authorization pro gram raises the top limit of the Navy, as now set by law, to the ex tent stated above. . i : .

It's Time, Or Almost Time To PlanrGarden Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service, il lustrates the value of a garden bj telling this story: "A man decided to attend the horse races, but be fore starting out he bought a round trip ticket so that he could get home no matter how much he lost gamb ling." : The same philosophy should apply to North Carolina farming, Dr. Schaub declared. "If we are going to gamble with tobacco and other so-called 'cash crops,' we should buy a round-trip ticket by4 planting a garden so that we will have some thing to eat if we lose our tobacco bet." It is time now to start planting home gardens in all parts of the State except the mountain region. By March 1, it is usually safe to se out lettuce, cabbage, 9:1 ion sets, and the hardjer greens in the mountains. Elswhere hi the S'ate" it is safe now to plant cabbage, lettuce, spin ach, garden peas, beets, ,carrots an-;', mustard. ' :-" Dean Schaub rerorsmends that fo: a family of 7 to 10 persons, a one acre garden be planted. It should be laid off in 70-yard rows. For a family of five or less, a one-hall acre garden will suffice, or 35-yard rows. The number of plan's or amount of seed needed for a 70-yard row fol lows: Cabbage, 200 plants; lettuce 200 plants, spinach,. 2 ounces of seed; wrinkled garden peas, 1 pound; beets, 2 ounces; carrots,-1 ounce'; mustard, 1 ounce; Irish potatoes, two bushel for lO.rowB; turnips, 1 canoe J snap beans, 1 pound; corn, or.e pound foi four: rows; tomatoes, 100 plants; sweet potatoes, 200 plants for 10 rows. - ' . -,) UP-RIVER W.

New Disease Attacks Irish Potato Tubers Here's a warning to North Caro lina Irish potato growers from How ard R. Garriss, assistant Extension plant pathologist of State College: A new bacterial wilt disease, call ed "Bacterial Ring Rot," has attack ed Irish potatoes in 26 states, and disastrous losses have been suffered in several areas. The disease is spread through seed potatoes; there fore, Tar Heel growers should be careful where they buy seed potatoes, and should take definite steps to control the disease when it is found, The disease attacks the tubers, causing a grayish to brownish dis coloration of the vascular ring, which is quite often followed by soft rot with a final loss of tbewhole tuber. Symptoms in the fieldfare best de tected 80 to 90 days after planting, or just before the tops begin to die. A rather sudden wilting of the tops takes place with final browningjand drying. To prevent the spread of the dis ease, , Garriss recommends that the knife being used to cut the potatoes be sterilized frequently by dipping for a few seconds in a germicidal disinfectant solution, or be dropped into, boiling water for a short time Experiments have shown that if you cut through a potato, with ring " rot, the next ten and sometimes more healthy potatoes cut with the same knife will become infected. "If possible, get seed from a lo cality that is free from the rot," the Extension specialist ' advised". "We, nere at S'ate College, will be glad to fiirriishUhe latest available infor mation on disease-free sources. It is wise to buy from a State with a good certification system, and to buy with a flat money-back guarantee that the seed potatoes are not in fected with ring rot. If you think t'.ie disease is present, treat the seed pieces by dipping thein in a solution of Semesan-Bel or Mercural (prepar ed according to manufacturer's di rections), and dry before planting."
