Upon Sincerity Of Soviet r
In Suggesting Peace Talk
Having previously expressed the
opinion that "the Soviets, in their
policy of expansion, will go just as
far as the democracies permit them
to; go," former Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes now expresses the
belief that the Russians, "for some
reason satisfactory to. them, now
wish to reach an agreement with tne
United States.
Mr. Byrnes thinks that the import
ant, thing to decide is "whether there
is any sincerity ' in tne Mussian
"willingness" , to hold a conference,
noting that the conduct of the Soviet
representatives in the past "would
indicate a lack of sincerity." He
suggests that the Russians, now un
derstand that this nation has no
nerves to be shattered in a cold war
and that the United States has
power which it intends to usto pre
serve its own freedom, and, through
the United Nations, that of other
free peoples who have the courage to
resist aggression.
The statement of Mr. Byrnes seems
to be a fair deduction from the chain
of events whph has led to current
"peace discussions".- Nevertheless,
before the United States enters into
any negotiations with the Russians,
even of , the conference is, limited to
question not affecting other allied
governments, there is first the nec
essity of determining, as far as pos
sible, whether the Soviet suggestion
of an agreement is based upon.a sin
cere," honest and dependaDie cnange
of mind on the part of Russian lead-1
era.
On March 17th, President Truman,
in his address to Congress, called at
tention to the fact that the agree
ments reached during and after the
war "furnished the basis for a just
neace if they had .been kept . He
nointed out that .this has not Been tne
case and that the agreements "have
been -persistently ignored and violat
ed by one nation."
Mr. Truman msited tnat tne aim

the part of the Soviet designed to get

such action.

Kerr Scott tells us today of his undying friendship
for the tobacco farmer.
It was different in 1939 when North Carolina's tobac
co markets crumbled, llie situation was desperate ... to
bacco prices broke below 11 cents . . it was like the mid
west in drought time. The farmers of this State sought to
keep the markets closed until an adequate marketing sys
tem could be worked out
At the request of the Federal government, the then
Commissioner of Agriculture, now Candidate Kerr Scott
the so-called friend of the tobacco farmers hurried to
Washington for a conference.
Let us quote from the reliable TIME Magazine (Octo
ber 9, 1939, Page 9):
"North Carolina's big handsome Commissioner of
Agriculture William Kerr Scott, suggested sadistically
that the markets ought to be reopened, the farmers left
to squirm."
Kerr Scott wasn't running for Governor then!
