There rhere is nothing to argue in the was no idea, at the time, of any world-wide crusade tor tne u Deration of conquered peoples or the propaga tion of democracy throughout the world. It seems to us that the- furore cre ated in this country by publication of Mr. Lyttleton's remarks is hardly warranted. The British officiaf may have been careless and ill-advised and his conclusions are, on the record, erroneous. At the same .time there is little basis for the belief that his utterances ' carry much weight or that they can be twisted to distort the actual faets.

Af ter all the utterances would not be generally circulated except for the frenzy of those who make and seek publicity. To imagine that Mr. Lyttleton's charges constitute a mat ter of grave import is to exhibit a nervousness that is entirely unwar ranted.

These made it evident, long fore Pearl Harbor, that war with e United States was inevitable un ss this country surrendered Its ghts in the Far East and abandoned a historic attitude toward China, j Mr,; . Hull, taking up the second atement of Mr. Lyttleton, says i at the United States "was actuated y the single policy of self-defense" nd that "the aid given to Great ritain and other countries who were sigting conquest" was "vital to the fenae of the United SUte" I This is a plain statement of fact ecause it was apparent that the ictory of the Axis in Europe would institute a menace to the peace and ecurity of the United States. Lend-Lease Sought to Avert War The sole justification of our Lend- lease Legislation is to be found in he hope that the aid extended to ations fighting German aggression rould enable them to successfully esist German arms. If this happen d then the safety of the United tates would be secured. The Lend-Lease program did not Chester Bowles, Price Administra- Jaines V. r-'orrestal, Secretary of the Navy, urges the American people not to permit their idealism to per suade them to disarm alter the war and says that we must realize that we are not immune frm war. It is vitally important to realize the great peril that confronted this, country when Great Biitain alone stood between us and the Axis pow ers. If Germany had succeeded in scoring a blitz victory in England, the position of the United States would have been desperate. Everyoody recalls the great pre paredness campaign pieaclieu uy Woodrow Wilson in 1916, which re sulted in the authorization of a number of capital ships for the Navy. The expansion of our fleet hari not been completed when the first World War ended. Unfortun ately, those in authority concluded that there would be no further dan ger of war and proceeded to carry out a policy of disarmament. The result was that when Japan struck at l earl M,irbr t He t ml States did not possess a Navy suffl : ciently strong to operate in the wa ters of the Far East. Admiral King has said that even if none of oui ' ships had been damaged at Pearl I Harbor, we would have been help less to reinforce or relieve our troops in the Philippines. At the present time the United j 'States probably possesses the strong j est navy that has ever floated utjon the high seas.. Every American rec- treatmenta are needed to eradicate these noted thieves. Poultry specialists at State College recommend that birds be dusted with sodium fluoride to eradicate bodv lice or that birds be dinned ir. slightly warm water to which has been added one ounce of sodium fluoride to each gallon of water used. Perch poles should be treat ed with nicotine sulphate and the treatment repeated in 7 to 10 days. Sincp red mites suck blood from the birds, it is necessary to u. a material that will kill by contact. The recommended practice is to treat perch poles and supports with used motor oil to which has been added one-third or more kerosene. The house should be thoroughly cleaned and all litter and nesting material should be burned prior to the treat ment. The tropical mites remain on the birds at all times. The specialists recommended for their control that the roost poles be treated with nico tine sulphate in the same manner as suiTKested for body lice, except that second and third applications are ''.ii'fested with an interval of about thrpp days elapsinjr between applica t ions. RTTY WAR BONDS'. Barking of Polish Dog k Silenced by German LONDON. Because Mrs. Zona Czechon's dog growled at the dog of German Col. Richard Kunat, she was sentenced to pay 1,000 marks or serve three months in prison by a Nazi court at Plock, Poland. The judge held that Kunat's dog was "very quiet and well-bred," but said Mrs. Czechon was guilty of "bringing up her dog in a spirit of hatred for everything German." BUY WAR BONDS!

Supply Co.! HTrade Here And Bank The' Different?' ' r . , ( HERTFORD, N. C ? . ' : , the Russian armies gave us the time necessary to construct planes, ships, tanks and guns for our defense. It is evident that the safety of the United States, for a number of montns, at least, was dependent up on resistance offered to Germany by the British and Russians. It would be extremely foolish for us to depend upon similar good for tune .in the event of another crisis in world affairs. We must mairytair adequate naval, aerial and land forces to guarantee the safety of this country, regardless of what may happen to other nations. This means that when the present war ends we should not destroy oui existing naval power or accept lim itations that restrict its size, re gardless of the attractive promise: that other nations may make. We should, by all means, maintain the largest air force in the world in order to prevent future aggressors from delivering surprise attacks on a scale vastly more dangerous than the Jap assault upon Pearl Harbor. Backing these offensive-defens:vc( forces, the nation should have a thoroughly equipped army, with an adequate reserve of trained soldiers. To advocate this policy of prepar edness is not to oppose future plans to establish world peace by interna tional cooperation. There is slight danger that the United States will develop into an aggressor or seek to take' by force what belongs to other' eop'es. Because of this we should be able at all times to defend what belongs to us, without having to de pend upon other, nations to give u( a "breathing spell" in which to get ready to nght.
