acknowledgements Small,
snepch to the house protested
III .;,st what he termed a proposed in
ss s1t Nv Congress to the General Edu-
su I:on Board, which is one Of the
0 Zion sustained by John D.
,PpDalofp1ler. In his speech he paid
Nu to the work which the Rookie
slnor funds have accomplished in
, Na.+b Carolina and other Southern
0 Tha occasion of the speech was an
.nondment by the senate to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. The
Sanse bill had appropriated $373,240
sor the farmers cooperative demon
.trotions and boil weeyil study, but
.ho senate added 100000 to this ap-
nroDriation with a proviso that none
~ this amount should be used in CO.
onoration with funds from the General
rducation Board. The house con-
fprees accepted the amendment, but
changed the language so as to pro-
hibit anybody outside the various
states from contributing and did not
mention the General Education Board
BY name.
The senate objected to the use of
the General Education Boards money
on the ground that form demonstra-
tors were employed by the govern
ment but paid only nominal salary
BY Uncle Sam, the bulk of their sala-
aries being paid by the Rockefeller
fund. The senate decided that the
loyalty of these demonstrators would
lie where their salary came, from ra-
ther than to the government which
nominally employed them. There
fore, the Senate wanted no divided
loyalty.
Mr.. Small pointed out in his speech
that Rockefeller's money has done a
wonderful amount of good in North
Carolina and that it i'll becomes the
state or congress, after having accept
ed this money and used it when the
work was in it's primary stage, now
to spurn it and add insult by specify
ing the general education board in the
biz. He said that when the hookworm
work was first begun in North Caro-
lima there was great prejudice against
it, both to the Rockefeller money and
to the work itself. He said, however,
that this prejudice has completely dis
appeared and that now the 100 coun-
ties in the state have appropriated an
average Of $3.50 each and that the
state has appropriated 100000.
