MAX camp: Editor Entered u second daw matter November 15, 1934, at Post Office It Hertford, North Carolina, un der the Act of March, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION SATES 12.00 Per Tear , . Advertising- rate furnished by request. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1953. Cost of Living Up The Bureau of Labor Statistics re ported in the last days of August that 'living costs reached a record high in mid-July. One of the results of the report was a raise of a cent an hour for one million automobile workers, whose wages are based on the living cost index. -''J'.'-'iyf : The Bureau reported that the latest raise was the fifth month in a row in which consumer prices had shown an increase. While the total increase has been relatively small : in these five months, the trend has, nevertheless, been slowly upward. . The cost of living raise, and result ing pay increases to millions of work ers, are indications that buying power will remain high in the immediate months ahead. They are also indica tions that no recession of the immedi ate future. Farm Controls The results of the recent referen dum on wheat controls showed that wheat farmers are overwhelmingly in favor of Goverment control of produc tion. Wheat growers seem to be solid ly in favor of Goverment support for prices of wheat, and willing to accept Goverment control of production in :.' return. :U '',; The vote showed more than eighty five per cent of wheat-growimg farm ers voting favor Federal acreage con trol over the 1954 crop. It appears cotton farmers voting in the South and Southwest will take the same at titude. They have in the past. ' If President Dwight Eisenhower wants to find out what farmers of the United States think o.n the question of high and rigid support levels for the six basic crops, and the flexible sup- curate answer might be through a ref erendum similar to the wheat acreage county feel about a controversial price control referendum. 1 This referendum would show the President and the Department of Agri President and the Department ofAgri culture just how farmers in every county feel about a controversail nrice- support operation. The attitude of the nation's farmers would be inter esting in view of the fact that a ma jor legislative battle is shaping up on this, subject in the second session of Congress, which opens in January. Results of Far East Political Conference Americans should evaluate the re sults of the Far East political confer ence carefully. It should be remem bered that the situation in Korea has been restored to approximately what it was in 1950, before the Communist attack. It is hoped, of course, that the political conference can solve all remaining problems many of which having existed since 1945.- But there is no reason for optimism. - - , If the conference does not succeed in ironing out these disputes, there need be no necessity for undue pessi mism or for further war in Korea. Jt will be recalled that the foreign mini sters of the major powers have held many conferences on the problems of divided Germany and Austria. " In none of these conferences was any permanent solution worked out . Nevertheless, the major powers re fused to go to war over the divided status of Germany and Austria, and . it is likely that the United States, and other major powers, will be hesitant to take up arms again to settle con tinuing problems in Korea. The great est danger in Korea, as we' see it. is of irresponsible action on the part of either the Communists in North Ko rea or the South Koreans. Any such action involving military ,, operations could plunge both the Communists and the United Nations into further war fare on that peninsula. ; ' . It should be kept in mind that the present situation an armed truce is preferable to renewed and enlarged fighting by United States soldiers iri Korea, and possibly China..' While we enter the ?ar East political confer ence with a sincere desire, to work out a just solution, we must realize we are dealing with totalatarian op ponents, with whom logical solutions are seldom possible. - .
