FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK HE COMES DAILY TO MULTI TUDES: Behold, I come quickly blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. Rev. National Cotton Week starts to morrow. Let's all join in this drive to rid the nation of a huge cotton surplus. We can do this by visiting a local merchant and purchasing at least one cotton item that he has for sale. Herr Hess decides that things are better in London than they are in Berlin, so he hops off in his plane and lands safely in Scotland. All jesting aside, however, things must not be all hotsy-totsy within the "royal" Nazi family or else Mr. Hess probably would have stayed at home. We see by the papers that Labor continues to cry over "the treat ment" it receives from Capital. We sincerely hope that the American people, through their representatives in Congress, will shortly do some thing about this labor situation and thus advance our program of Nation al Defense to the position it shoma hold. The local political pot has been set on the stove by the announcement ot Herbert Leary, of Edenton, that he will be a candidate for Congressman from the First District. It will pro bably be a long time betore the rrre is started under the pot, but it is highly probable that there will be other announcements made regarding the position now held by Herbert C. Bonner. Notwithstanding the "dope" as ex pressed in other newspapers, The Weekly hears that no changes will be made in the Department of Re venue and that Mr. Maxwell will con tinue as Commissioner. The Weekly favors this news and hopes it may prove true as time has hown Mr. Maxwell to be a most capable man for this position. Business Profits Earnings of the first 175 compan ies to report their first quarter fig ures, according to an Associated Press tabulation, were 16 per cent higher than for the same period of last year. This is interesting but, almost at once, somebody says that the govern ment is about to put new taxes on business which will destroy their earnings. Well, some companies al lowed for taxes in making their re ports. Others did not. Anyway, the Associated Press writer, assuming that there will be an increase in taxes of around 30 per cent, says that this would re duce the increase in profits over last year to about 7 per cent. The prospect is clouded, however, by recent wage increases which make the figures less significant. Maybe, we will have to wait for the companies to complete their second quarter business before trying to as certain how they are prospering un der the defense program. The Farmers' Stake "If the Nazis winj we might as well kiss our export market for farm products goodbye," says Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, who insists that the stake of farmers in the con tact now going on is as great or greater than that of any other group. North Carolina viv Mr. Wickard knows what German ' domination of Europe will mean to world trade. The Nlazi system of exploiting the peoples, as well as the resources, of conquered nations means a revolution in economic af . fairs that will inevitably eliminate the competition of free peoples in the . production of commodities for ex "change. . : .'h, , There-are om people who have Ithe Idea that th agricultural prob- if, solely; around 'Surplus production. ?; " lhisviya the Secretary, applies to V utton, wheat and, tobacco, but jt has pa bearing upon pork, dairy products, .'j-:. When the fighting in Europe ends, - I--.," larare part of ' the world will he rs looking to the United States for food." Our farmers will, be able' to m m V . . i J 'm '.fa. prosper in soon a market but tney will not have a chance' if the outside. world is dominated 'by Germany and their trade ontrblled, by Naai mas ter whq; will;, trt it, only upon their own term. .-:'. f "' V i, i , .'. Bombers In military terms the present world struggle is one between land and sea power, with Germany clearly superior on land and Britain on the Bea. The Nazis have tried to extend their land power over the water and the British their sea power over the land by go ing into the air. Neither has wholly succeeded, but many experts believe that in the end the struggle between democracy and dictatorship will be decided by air power. Tne democratic countries have po tential air superiority. The industrial power of the United States and Bri tain can gain the victory if brought to bear effectively and in time. And in the extension oi sea power over land the British-American problem the principal instrument is the bomber. Moreover, in the making of bombers the United States has been particularly successful, due partly to its highly developed pro duction of commercial transport planes. For Britain to reverse the present situation, in which Germany has been able to give much more than it re ceives, will require a very clear su periority in numbers and quality of bombers. Also if the Nazi advantage in the Battle of the Atlantic is to be countered effectively, big, long range scouter-bombers are essential to protect the supply line from America. These are some of the factors be hind President Roosevelt's letter to Secretary Stimson directing that pri orities be set up for bombers. Coup led with the news that more than 1400 military planes were produced in the United (States in April (a fig ure which would mean much more if it told how many were bombers) this is some encouragement that America is going to put forth a spec ial effort in a field where it can be most effective. Yet the plants a Tulsa and Omaha designed particu larly for big-plane production will not be adding their quotas before next year. Some who are close to information about air strategy and plane produc tion are advocating thajt "another Tulsa and Omaha" be started at once to make sure that American bomber production shall become the decisive factor which many military experts believe it could be. This step might well be considered alongside the President's priority request. Chris tian Science Monitor.

May 18th, which is next Sunday, will be celebrated in many lands as Good Will Day, even though great evidence of ill will ex ists in the World. ; Would W not be appropriate that we Americans this year celebrate it by showing our good, will for th starving peoples of the small demo cracies of northern Europe, Finland, Norway, belgium, Holland and Cen tral Poland, who tave' aNrays ' been our friends, and are looking to us as their only helper to save themselves ' "n ; from starvation 7 " They i Jhaw i ap- f. -i ai m. tt ,. i .'ft pealed to us tor neip to get tne Dem- gerents to allow' food - for them to pass the' blockade. Their govern ments have" "the money to pay for the food fft ships in' which to transport it. There is not enough food in Eu rope to feed all the people, and they must starve unless it can be im ported. Former President Hoover, who di rected the feeding during the last war, has been asked to formulate a plan whereby food may be purchased, imported, and distributed to the needy without benefitting the Axis. As a result of this appeal, Hoover has proposed this plan: Supplies would be imported under agreement with England and Germany, and dis tributed by a neutral organization. Brave little Belgium is hardest hit, as in the last war. There babies and weaker older people are already dy ing. Hoover proposes as an experi ment, that soup kitchens be estab lished in Belgium where children and unemployed older people may come and eat under supervision of neutrals. This plan is being advodated by the National Committee on Food for the Small Democracies, 420 Lexing ton Avenue, New York.-N. Y., which is composed of leading people of this country and is supported by many religious denominations, government officials, educators, doctors, lawyers and many organizations, as well as individuals. The pamphlet "Must They Starve?" explains the proposed plan fully. All we are asked to do is to help bring pressure that food be allowed to pass through the blockade to these starving people, by writing the Na tional Committee on Food for the Small Democracies that we approve the plan whereby millions of those brave people will be saved from star vation and their faith in democratic governments renewed. For further information communicate with the National Committee at the above ad dress, or with Mrs. Edwin S. White, Belvidere, local chairman . Let us show our faith in democracy by thus expressing our good will for these people. Sincerely, MATTIE E. SAUNDERS. BELVIDERE NEWS Clinton Winslow, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. C.
