Federal Bureau Investi

tiohs; Information?
Yes, But -Investiga
; tions
' To the end that the task may be
carried out with as little confusion
as possible, the President has re
quested all police officers, sheriffs,
and all other law enforcement offi
cers in the United States promptly
to turn over to the nearest represen
tative of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation any Information obtained
by them relating to espionage, counter-espionage,
subversive activities,
and violations of , the neutrality laws.
The proceedure to be followed in
handling complaints and prosecutions
of violations of Federal laws relating
to these activities is outlined in a
statement made by the president . . .
"The Attorney General has been
requested by me to instruct the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation of the
department of Justice to take charge
of investigative work in matters re
lating to espionage, sabotage, .and
violations of the neutrality regula
tions.. '
"This task must be conducted in a
comprehensive manner on a national
basis, and all information must be
carefully sifted out and correlated in
order to avoid confusion and irre
sponsibility." -. . -
Noting that in connection with the
existing international . situation, all
officers WiU doubtless receive con
siderable information from groups
and individuals concerning;" seeming
subversive activities and kindred of
fenses, this .is Uncle Sam's . polite
' way of telling the local enforcement
units to keep "hands eff and leave
such matters to those who know how

Reds! Communists! And a Justice
of the Newi York State Supreme
Court rules that it is not libellous to
call an American a Communist.
As the Industrial Press Service re
cently stated "It may not be libelous
at the present time to call a person
in the United Sates a Communist
but it strikes us as being about the
most insulting non-libelous remark
that could possibly be addressed to
an American Citizen!"
The decision of the New York
Justice on the question shows how
extremely eyeful Americans are to
presedve the democratic rights which
individuals and minority groups in
this country enjoy, but in the case
of the Communists it seems like en
couraging a forest fire to afford
protection for an organization actu
ally rooted in foreign lands that has
no respect for and no understanding
of the very principles which make its
continued existence here possible.

This bit of news released from A.
Laurence Aydlett's Information Ser
vice, SBCPW in Raleigh, is doubly
interesting in that it throws new
light on two developments in the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
First. That the CCC is anxious to
enlist more youngsters and is leav
ing out the stipulation that the fam

paid to the accepted CCC boy. This
stipulation excluded a large number
of youths from OOC, ranks when the

Salvation Army Prepar
ing to Take In Twenty-five
Little British
ers A worker under Envoy Cook, head,
of the Salvation Army in Elizabeth
ICity, on a periodic, visit to Hertford
Monday said that the Salvation Army
in the Pasquotank metropolis is pre
paring to receive twenty-five British
child refugees.
Those who have followed interna
tional events in the daily newspapers
have no doubt learned that Great
Britain is preparing to evacuate (or
has already evacuated) something
like two million children between the
ages of two and fifteen years.
The worker was not making a plea
for hopes for the British children;
twenty-five is the number the Salva
tion Army alone can care for. How
ever, he said, others can be placed in
private homes and help take care of
the situation in that manner.
Moving of England child popula
tion is not intended to be a perma
nent thing; it is only to get them out
of harm's way for the duration of
the present war. When it is over
they will be returned to their pa
rents. One other town, in North Carolina
which has made definite arrange
ments for care of child refugees is
Wake Forest, where another twenty
five will be taken into private homes.
Those in this country who wish to
take in British child refugees for an
indefinite visit, should get in touch
with Envoy Cook.
Plans for the evacuation were be
gun several weeks ago in preparation
for Adolf Hitler's promise of unre
lenting mass assault on the British
Isles.
"It is our duty to care for these
unfortunate little, .refugees,'4'- the
worker quoted Envoy Cook as saying.

Farmers Organized
In Defense Program
Farmers of North Carolina are
organized for any emergency, says
Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State
College Extension Service They are
ready to meet any call for contribu
tions to National defense in the form
of food, feed and the materials for
clothing. They have been preparing
for such a call in recent years. They
have experienced leadership to do the
job, he declared.
Dr. Schaub said that the National
Farm Program has enabled farmers
to become better organized and more
ready to work together than at any
time in history. He also pointed out
that, through the Agricultural Con
servation Program, the fertility of
the soil has been built up to where
the necessities of war could be pro
duced in greater quantities, with less
time and expense.
"Our Extension organization was
only three years old when the United
States entered the first World War
in 1917," Dr. Schaub continued.
"Yet, with limited personnel and ex
perience, the farm and home agents
and subject matter specialists provid
ed efficient leadership in that great
crisis. Farm and home demonstra
tion work is now 26 years old, and we
have an organization of trained a
gents, specialists and administrators.
Every county in the State is organi
zed for Extension work.
"Many of the farm and home a
gents, canning and clothing specil
ists, and others who directed emer
gency activities of rural people in
1917 and 1918, and again during the
depression years, are still with the
organization.' " Thejf did their jobs ef
ficiently-then; - they .have the .confi-
rdence of the. farm people, and are
ready to lead again. . r
"It will not be necessary to set up
new services, or new organizations of
farmers to carry on agriculture's
part of the National defense program."
