Tjfc. ext'dayVlTuesday, the' House Naval-'' 'committee, 1 recommended a pOOjOOO'addiflonal" plan af ter xecelving details from Admiral Stark that morning. This would take seven years to build, comprised 200 combat ships and would raise the total number of ships to 738. Ap parently, these - estimated figures take into consideration the fact thai Some ships, now in being, will be out "of service in seven years. The illustration given indicates 'the inability of any writer to outline the 'full extent of the nation's pro gram for defense. Just as the naval program is in a state of flux, with .additions coming up every week, the army and air forces planned are subject to constantly increasing plans. Frankly, there is no way to jtell how much defense we will get iuntil the Congress gets through with preparedness legislation t'but, what ever the finarpsfljgram isj?wo wilf nbt have too much in view, of the peril ous world situation. By a vote of 76 to 0 the Senate re affirmed the . Monroe Doctrine and the House followed suit by a vote of 382 to 8. The joint resolution served notice that the Unite'd States would refuse to recognize change of title from one European nation to another of "any jreosfraphic region in Western Hemisphere?' This is plain notice to the totalitarian powers that, regardless of the outcome of the war in Europe, they cannot se cure any spoils in this hemisphere. It means, if it means anything, that prevent the seizure of territory in this hemisphere. The resolution undoubtedly' has the support of the vast majority of the people of the United States but, Just the same, it is no stronger than the armed forces behind it. The at tempt of Germany, Italy, Japan or Spain to secure territories in South or Central America would be consid ered an act of war and inasmuch as the present world outlook indicate that these four countries may try to spread their empires in this direc tion it is quite probable that the United State wms have to use force to make good the resolution of Con , grass. ., .,, An economic union between North and South America is being consid ered as a means to prevent totalitar ian powers in this region, where it is recognized that such a develop ment would be followed by political consequences of the gravest kind Under discussion is a $2,000,000,000 corporation to exert almost complete control over, the exports of surplus commodities "''from North and South American' countries. and thiT'Kemisnhere. U -..W The Republicans in rbiladeipnia face 'difficult' poaitical." questions, t in-J eluding the business of -selecting nominee Ay.v this, is being' writes, before the convention begins, nobody knows who the nominee will be, or how long it will take to name him. The platform framers have a hard job to outline a program that will meet the needs of the day and .en thuse the. voters. World problems, involving the ' United J States, . have given less importance to domestic issues and on world problems the G. O. P. is not unanimous, Early Indications were that the platform committee - might pass up any attempt to state a definite posi tion in regards ,to international af fairs but last-week former Governor Landon of Kansas, advocated an anti- Hitler plank, v This will embarast some isolationist ' members T of the party but. with the present temper 61 the neonle. it will strengthen the party platform. Of course,, we can not forecast what the convention will do but it is safe to assume that the administration will be "denounced for waste, extravagance hd a failure to alleviate unemployment and that the hatiott will be assured that the Re publican party "should be put into of fice to do the national work much better. ;. .

O, Rowell, Extension entomolo gist, is author of the new boll weevil control bulletin. In it, he gives full information on the mopping treatment, which has proved very ef fective in South Carolina and other States,' and which was used success fully by a number of North Carolina secondary laterals except the lower growers on an experimental basis last year. Rowell says that boll weevils have made only scattered attacks, this year, but he recommends vigilance in order that the insect can be pois oned at the first signs of his invasion of the cotton field. The pre-square mopping treatment calls for the use of a mixture Of one pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon of cheap molas ses, and. one gallon of water This amount is sufficient to mop one acre, ' rilAPF-LL-VAN SICE , ' The weddic of 3i.-s Louise Hack- lin Van Sice, daughter of Mrs. Del mer T.
