Sim, Washington Correspondent ' ... ,. .,,, ,..,.-- I ' (, Settling Lend-Lease t War Reserve Suggested i:f Some confusion has arisen over the . jsl' Bettlement that other nations must I 4 it Ji : make in payment of lend-JeaM sup plies. The President suggested, when the legislation was passed, that we would be repaid but a sentence in his re cent report to Congress indicated that there would be no repayment whatever but this, he explains, is not exactly the case. There will be no insistence upon a money settlement but the way is open for other compensation. Wheth er this will take the form of bases, or commodities, remains to be de veloped in a way that will not jeop ardize the normal development of commerce after the war. It seems to us that the United States should conclude the lend-lease account by accepting an agreement from the nations concerned, pledging them, if we become involved in war, to deliver to us, upon demand, equiv alent supplies in the hour of need. Japs Cruel and Beastly King Talks of Sea Control The Japanese "are cruel and beast ly, beastly for the sake of being that way," says Admiral Ernest J. King, head of the United States Navy, who continues that "they will kill them selves before they will surrender and we are going to have to kill everyone along the route to Tokyo." Admiral King, in a recent inter view, explained that ships will be moved from the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic into the Pacific and left the impression that everything is poised for another big drive against the Japanese. The Admiral is fully aware that the length of our war with Japan 7 farflung bases for air and sea power. It involves our standing against the world until a crisis compels us to take sides. There are some defects inherent in any of these proposals. There is some virtue in all of them. How ever, it seems to us that the foreign policy of the United States should be based, unquestionably, upon the kin ship that exists between English speaking people, heirs of kindred in stitutions and protagonists of a com mon culture and civilization. It is even possible, as we see it, will depend upon the time it takes us to establish sea control. Once this that the best solution of the perplex - has been accomplished, the Japanese i ing problems of post-war policy can be based upon a federal union with the British Empire. This should fol low closely the pattern of the orig inal union of the thirteen states and should contain, perhaps, more defin ite guarantees against usurpation of j authority by the centralized govern ment. will be unable to move men and sup plies to defend certain areas or re inforce soldiers already stationed throughout their conquered empire.

This plant, financed by the Gov ernment, is said to be the largest and best equipped single airplane fac tory now in production in the world. The drop in output is estimated to have qost the Army and Navy the equivalent of 10,000 airplane motors. Recent reports indicate that the plant is recovering and that pro duction is increasing. August out put, it is said, may equal half the March peak, but this would be only one-fourth of the schedule accepted by the plant after Pearl Harbor. The drop in production illustrates what can happen to a mismanaged industrial unit. Various causes have been advanced for the slump, in cluding charges made by investigat ing committees. Regardless of the reasons for lack of production, it is gratifying to hear that the $185,000,000 factory is getting into efficient motion again. Secretary Jones Declares Industry "Pretty Well Paid" Jesse H. Jones, Secretary of Com merce, opposes the suggestion that war contracts be renegotiated after taxes have been paid and suggests that the authority of several Gov ernment corporations be broadened somewhat by legislation.

This has come into being under the pressure of war and it can easily be transformed into a perma nent arrangement with profit and protection To much of the world. We consider also the planned alli ance of the four great United Na tions, including Russia and China, in a permanent pact to maintain the peace of the world. Much of the ar gument for this arrangement is based upon the belief that no perma nent peace can be arranged without a partnership with China and Rus sia, the land powers of Asia and Europe. We also hear about the unity of the nations of the Western Hemis phere but, so far as the safety of the United States is concerned, this is never to be attained by any coordin ated action of American nations. It would mean, as it has meant, the protection of Central and South America by the United States. The idea that our safest course can be based upon the world's larg est navy, the world's greatest air fleet and a well-trained army of suffi cient size to take the field immedi ately in an emergency is based fun damentally upon the possession of 1 mittee that he thought industry had from a similaritv nf iHl. aA fl, J Deen Pre"V we" Paia Ior lls Pan nations joined would be able to stand , Productlon; k against all enemies.

Subs Sink Three-fourths of Jap Cargo Ships Ixst Many Americans will be surprise! at the statement of Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that approximate ly 77 per cent of the destruction in flicted upon Japanese cargo ships has been mk of submarines. Mr. Knox says that the Japanese have lost at least one-third of their cargo ships and that destruction dur ing the past six months has been far I greater than during the 15 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.! Pointing out that the Japanese must ' reach their war-gained territory by! overseas means, the Secretary ex-; plained that the loss of cargo ships! is sinning at one ol tneir vital ac tivities. The Secretary said that Japan through construction and seizures, had built up a tonnage of about 7,500,000 and that 2,500,0011 tons of this shipping had been sent to the bottom. Such losses obviously make it very difficult to maintain lines of communication and supply, especially with advance bases. v1 f HERTFORD, N. C.

Farmers Get Quotas Of Ammunition By New Regulations Farmers of Perquimans County now may obtain special quotas of ammunition for rifles and shotguns for essential use on the farm under n supplementary order of the War Production Board, it was announced' today by Dr. K. S. White, Chairman of the County USDA War Hoard. The program making ammunition available to farmers was worked out' with WPB by the War c'ool Admin ! istration and is designed to give farmers and livestock raisers rifle, cartridges and shotgun shells lor pro- I tection of their crops and livestock' against predatory animals and birds, Dr. White said. The supplemental allotment allows farmers to purchase fifty .22 calibre rim fire rifle cartridges, twenty center fire rifle cartridges, and 25 shotgun shells, provided they secure these amounts prior to October 1. or ' their written orders are in dealers' hands by that date. Ketween Sep tember 30 and Nover. "ler 16, UU.'i, persons, except those who have re- j ceived or ordered the farmers' special quota, may purchase similar amounts of ammunition. It is provided in the order, however, that requests filed during the period September 30 to November 16 will not be filled until all requests from farmers for their regular fourth quarter allotment have been met. "This special quota," Dr. White pointed out,' "is in addition to the quarterly allotments of ammunition to farmers, and orders for regular allotments for the fourth quarter should be placed immediately after September 30. Orders for regular third quarter allotments and the spec ial quota must be placed before Octo ber 1, at which time permits for these two allotments expire." Civilians other than farmers apply ing for the special quota of ammuni tion must certify that the ammuni tion will be used for shooting preda tory animals or birds, that it will not Kfmb 0!li 3lEC 'QOT'B HD 5mRtiinQGBEa3l h o ccmii) t mm wm ma mm o Since 1882 Elizabeth City's L ailing Jewel r fMORK HOME COMFORT FOR FALL The h;irlrr you work in the war eiYoit. tin more y (It-i-i vr l omloi't ;it home, -in h ;i i- ;i aikiuc here low cost. nil at Shop at QUINN'S for Quality Furniture That Will Endure Through the Years. .
