War To The Grim End The Speaker of the Japanese House of Representatives recently ad vised a mass meeting in Tokyo that Japan must utterly destroy the Unit ed States and Britain or be destroyed. There is every prospect that the Japanese official spoke the solemn truth. The grim nature of the global war, as he said, "will permit no half-baked distinction between victor and vanquished." The people of the United States should not overlook the fact that this country and the British, for many years exhibited tangible evi dences of good-will to the Japanese people. The conflict that has result ed springs not from Anglo-American aggression but from the brutal and treacherous attack launched by Tok yo war lords. The statement of Takahido Okada, Japanese speaker, is interesting be cause he admits that "there is abso lutely no room for the co-existence of Japan on one side and Great Bri tain and the United States on the other" and because he says that these two countries represent "cruelty and craftiness incarnate." The United States is accused of "attempting to control Europe across the Atlantic and East Asia across the Pacific in an outspoken action of ex treme .imperialism." In brief, action of extreme imperialism. The people of Japan will naturally believe what the Speaker of the House tells them. They will un doubtedly be misled by other Japan ese officials and, consequently, will imagine the United States as an evil power, determined to destroy Japan. This is unfortunate because it is un true and because it will lead the Japanese people to their doom. If they accept the utterances of the war lords, as to the causes of the war, as they probably will, the Unit ed' States and Great Britain have no choice but to accept the challenge by preceding to destroy Japan as ut terly as the war lords planned to de stroy the United States and Great Britain. JiiMcjFiidDsle Cashing Old Cotton Stamp Official Says Merchants of Perquimans County who still have stamps redeemed for cotton fabrics under the 1941 sup plementary cotton program must cash them on or before June 30. according to Dr. E. S. White, chairman of the County AAA Committee. These stamps, the chairman said, were issued to farmers of the County in 1941 in return for reducing their cotton acreage below their AAA acreage allotments, and were used to purchase cotton materials from local merchants. "Reports received by AAA officials at Raleigh indicate that some of these stamps in this State never have been cashed by the merchants who accepted them," Dr. White said. "The federal appropriation under which these stamps were issued will expire on June 30, and all stamps not cashed by that date will become in valid as no funds will b available for this purpose." The cotton stamp plan, he said, was discontinued after 1942, but many farmers held their stamps for sever al months before uising them. Any cotton stamps still in the hands of farmers can be used until June 30. During operation of this plan, it is estimated that Perquimans County farmers received stamps valued at ap proximately $5,042.50. Merchants desiring to cash stamps still on hand must mail them on or before June 30 to W. Ellis Jones, Chief of Fiscal Section, Food Distri bution Administration, Western Union Building, Atlanta, Georgia. Rabies Inspector Warns Dog: Owners All dog owners of the county, who have failed to have dogs vaccinated, were issued a final warning this week by G. C. Buck, rabies inspector, who stated that the law must be observed before the latst day of June. Mr. Buck requested dog owners to bring their dogs to him before the expiration date for vaccination and thus avoid a heavy penalty. NUNGEZER DAIL Mr. and Mrs. George F. Dail an nounce the , marriage of their grand daughter, Minnie Ray Dail, to Cor poral Charles P. Nungezer. The marriage took place on Sunday, June 6, 1943, at South Mills. The bride wore a sky blue travel ing suit with white accessories and a i corsage of gardenias. ! Corporal and Mrs. Nungezer are making their home at Virginia Beach. SUNDAY VISITORS Sgt. Grayson Jordan, of Fort Mon roe, Va., and Caspar Jordan, of Eli zabeth City, spent Sunday with their sister, Mrs. Anthony Elliott Coupon Madness One thing people refuse to hoard That's a ration coupon! It burns holes in pockets, starts stampedes, and tricks folks into buying all kinds of things they don't really need. You'd think an unspent coupon was a disgrace. As the mountaineer did, who, con fronted by his coupons, wrote Wash ington: "I want to be patriotic, but I can't afford to buy all this sugar." Take Number 17. That was a close one. Thousands almost forgot it. Then came the deadline of June 15. Frantic Americans tore into town with Ration Book Number One, its precious coupon 17 scorching thoir fingers. Shoe stores were mobbed Clothes were torn, feet were trod upon, shoe clerks ran around in a whirl, and ex hausted merchants closed their stores that night with a litter of boxes on the floor and half their stock swept off their shelves. It isn't just shoes, either. Coupon 17 isn't the only guilty one. There are those little red and blue points. They're dangerous, too. Let an ex piration date come around, and accu mulated coupons come pouring forth in a torrent. Frenzied buyers rush to turn their points into meat and canned goods, regardless of whether they actually need them. It doesn't make sense. It isn't pa triotic. But it happens time ana time again. Sometimes you may even find yourself doing it. It's easy to be swept into the current, but it's a current of emotion rather than reason. i The very fact that" there are extra points in the book at the end of the period is assurance that there's cer tainly nothing to worry about. It's v time , people stopped to think, and re- .. fuse to be mesmerized by ration cou-j -, pens. Christian Science Monitor. iss Nowell tVeds ward E.
