FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK WE WILL KNOW THIS SOME TIME: He is the Rock and His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and with out iniquity, just and right is He. Deut. 32:4. Vote Saturday! Peanut errowers should mark a red circle on their calendars around Sat urday, April 26, if for no other rea son than to remind them to go to the Dollinsr vlaces and vote in the first Peanut Referendum in history. A great deal has been written of this referendum and most farmers have heard the details of the rea sons for the voting. The Weekly now uses this method to urge every eligible voter to cast a ballot in the election. This referendum not only means much to peanut growers, it means a lot to the business man in every vil lage and town in the peanut area. Good prices for peanuts mean good business in the fall ... as well as money in the pockets of the farmer. iSaturday is the day for the refer endum and The Weekly hopes the farmers of Perquimans will vote 100 percent As explained elsewhere, eligible voters are requested to vote in their home townships, but where this is impossible, they may vote in Hert ford at the Agricultural Building, and after checking the eligibility of the voter, the vote will be counted by the County Committee. Farmers, be sure to vote on Sat urday. 1 If Wages Rise If wages rise, can prices be far behind? The American steel indus try thinks not, and it thinks so the more explosively since Leon Hender son, Federal Price Administrator, has issued an order freezing steel prices at levels of the first quarter of 1941 notwithstanding the general wage increase just granted of 10 cents an hour. The Henderson order may prove to be only a temporary request, design ed to preserve the status quo in steel prices until the Office of Price Ad ministration can study the situation and determine how much of an in crease is justified. Mr. Henderson has assured that adjustments will be made promptly if it is shown that they should be. Otherwise there may be a court test of the price control powers. Steel men probably would agree that some margin of added labor costs could be absorbed by the in dustry through increased efficiency and in other ways. But to assimi late at one gulp a rise of 11 to 12 per cent in wage costs is a rather large order. The argument often has been made that steel profits rise much more than proportionately when the rate of steel operations climbs above ithe minimum required to cover overhead. But there also is a point at which any increase of pro duction or capacity is purchased only at a rising cost per ton; and steel production at present is approx- j imately 100 per cent of rated capa city. A pronounced rise in costs of liv ing would certainly tend to force wages up. Any sudden or marked increase in wage rates tends similar ly to start the spiral by which wages and prices or vice versa chase each other up the economists' graphs. The Price Administration was formed to prevent so far as possible any such inflation. On his appointment to the new office last week Mr. Hen derson said with reference to steel prices, "We are watching wages as a prime cost. If there are unwar ranted prospective wage rises we will "have decided interest in them." That interest, as applied to a number of industries, should be a watchful and outspoken one.

THIS COSINESS tt SUSAN THAYIft WE WOMEN WATCH HISTORY We are a peace-loving people,' and we hoped, when the tumult and the shouting of the World War died down, that the nations of the earth were ready to live together as friends. We hoped it so strongly and believed in it so sincerely that" we in sisted on getting rid-of the "plants and factories that had been used to provide our arms and munitions in '17 and '18. Wartime machinery was smashed' under gigantic hammers and sold for scrap metal. The mak ing of smokeless powder declined to a tiny fraction of previous output, and the industries involved turned to the making of goods and products for normal consumption. We women played an important role in the peace movement. Remem ber? We realised, probably more keenly than . men, the bitterness of war, and we dreamed a great dream of well-being and abundance. Why shouldn't these things be ours, we asked, with the greatest industrial system in the world devoting itself exclusively to the production of peacetime products? We worked out many of the ele ments of that dream here in Amer ica, too, before the period of world unrest which saw European dictator ships grow daily more powerful as they battened on economic unrest In their own states.

American industry was called upon to forge the weapons that would make our freedom strong. At first it was on the basis of "business as usual" plus defense., Then, as events continued to unfold ominously, indus try was called upon to apply "speeo and more speed" to production for defense. The defense accomplishments of industry to date will go down in the annals of history as living evidence of the potentialities of a free people It is not the way that American men and women would wish to prove the value of their free institutions. But it is striking proof that they cherish those institutions above all else, and that we in this country are enterpris ing enough and intelligent enough to find the means to see that they shall survive today s storms. American women will remember this march of events as times move ahead. They know that there will be trying tunes and sacrifices ahead for all of us. But they know, too, that we are going through these present efforts so that we can have a future which will be worthy of all the en deavors and all the strivings that the history of the last few decades has imprinted on the scroll of American history. ternoon with Mrs. Max Griffin, on Hertford Highway.
