Friendly Relations
With Russians
Hull Warns Soviet Not to Allow
COmmunistic Influences to Work
in America

The United States warned the
Russian officials last week that fu-
ture friendly relations depend solely
on the soviet's strict adherence to its
pledge of non-interference in this ma
tons internal affairs.
Reaffirming the American govern
ment's declaration that the soviet
union has permitted fragrant viola
tons Of it's non-interference pledge,
Secretary Hull issued a statement
warning Moscow that the third inter-
nationale's subversive activities must
end. t. ...
The announcement, made as pub
lie statement and not sent to Moscow,
followed a warning that continued
subversive activities by the comintern
would result in "the most serious con-
sequences"
Hull's statement termed the soviet
note rejecting the American protest
a "clean Gu disayowaw of solemn
pledeg which was "a severe blow at
friendly relations"
IF the soviet continues to let agi-
tators on Russian soil plan and di-
rect a program for the overthrow of
American institutions, Hull declared,
it will mean population of the pledge
and a blow to relations with the
United States.

President Signs Resolution That AdOc0tes
UnentangLing Alliances Nth Other Nations
Expresses Dissatisfaction with Section
Relevant to Shipping MunitiOn
to Belligerent Nations

Saturday, August 81, President
Roosevelt signed resolution which
declared a policy of non-interference
in the Ethiopian situation that is now
In c-'ictcn"e.
Mr.. Roosevelt called the purpose of
the neutrality resolution wholly ex-
cellent," but indicated dissatisfaction
with the provision for q mandatory
embargo on munitions shipments to
belligerent nations, which expires
next February 20.
"This section" he said, requires
further and more complete consider
alton between now and that date.
Here again the objective is wholly
good: It's the policy Of this nation
to avoid being drawn into wars be-
tween other nations, but it is fact
that no Congress and no executive
can foresee all possible future situa-
lions.
History is filled with unforesee-
able situations that call for some
flexibility of action. It is conceivable
that situations may arise in which the
wholly inflexible provisions = y
might have exactly the opposite eff
feet from that which was intended.
In other words, the inflexible provi-
sions might drag us into war instead
of keeping us out.
"The policy of the government is
definitely committed to the mainten-
ance of peace and hte avoidance of
any entanglements which would lead
US into conflict. At the same time it
is the policy Of the government by
every peaceful means and without
ENGAGEMENT to cooperate with other
similarly minded governments to pro-
mote peace"
Emphasizing that further careful
consideration of neutrality needs is
most desirable" Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
posed an Expansion to include pro-
visions dealing with other important
aspects Of our neutrality policy which
have not ben dealt with in this tenn
porary measure"

New Law Makes 1t Mandatory for
Ashe to Hold Another Election
of Officers for Party

Contrary to the general custom Of
electing officers of the county demo-
cratic party for a period of two years
as was done last year, new law
passed in the recent General Assem-
bly, makes it necessary to call demo-
cratic convention this fall :, for the
purpose TO again electing a chairman
and a county democratic executive
committee and transacting any other
business that may be necessary.
Township meetings. for Democrats
have been called by the present
chairman, Ira T. Johnston, to be held
in each township Friday afternoon, at
three o'clock on September 6. Dele
gates will be selected at these meet
ings and township executive commit
tees will be elected.
According to the law, however, all
democrats in the county who are en-
titled to vote, whether selected as a
delegate or not, may vote at the con-
vention. For this reason, all those
who have an opinion to express are
invited to be present and cast their
votes accordingly, remembering that
the new law does not leave the bur-
den of the voting on the delegates
but On all democrats who attend.

CONVENTION FOR MEETING ON SEPT. z
SCHOOL NEWS SOLICITED


The Skyland Post is glad to
have the teachers in the various
county schools send in reports of
accomplishments during the
school year. 1t has been suggest
ed that an English student might
be elected as school reporter in
each school and send in news
when anything happens that is
newsworthy.
The Skyland Post is impartial
to all the county schools, but it
often carries great deal more
news about a few than it does the
others. This is not because it is
trying to help get certain schools
before the public but because the
teachers or students in those
schools either stop in and report
or mail in reports of school hap
penings.

r. F. Blevins Claimed
by Death in Hospital
Prominent jefferson Man Dies After
Short Illness; Funeral Was
Held Wednesday

Friends throughout this section of
the country were shocked to hear of
the sudden passing of r. F. Blevins,
aged so, of jefferson, who died Mon
day in the Wilkes Hospital where he
had been carried Saturday suffering
from a stomach ailment. Mr.. Blevins's
health had not been good for some
time but his passing was unexpected.
Funeral services were held We'd
nesday morning from the Jefferson
Methodist Church. The, church was
filled with sorrowing friends and rel<
atives. Members of the local I.O.O.F.
attended in body, and arm loads OF
flowers were borne by school mates
of the children of the deceased.
Officiating at the services were
Reverends R. E. L. Plummer, r. H.
Stone, J. o. Spencer, and G. r. Stat
ford. The fitting and eloquent obitu-
airy was read by Rev. Mr.. Stone.
Mrs. Bryce Gambill was in charge of
the music and Mrs. Tom McEwen
sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" as a
solo.
Mr.. Blevins was married twenty
three years ago to Roy Evelyn
Phipps, who survives him with the
following children: Paul, Dean, John,
Edith, Calvin, and Myrtle. He is also
survived by his parent, Mr.. and Mrs.
Minter NJ. Blevyns, one sister, Miss
Nell Blevins, and six brothers: Cres-
ton and E. NJ, of Washington, D. c.;
Gwyn, of Indiana; and Clint, Vert,
and Blan, Of Crumpler.
Mr.. Blevins was probably best
known for his work in the post office
in Jefferson although he taught
school and was a salesman for vari-
GUS companies. He served as post
master under Harding, Coolidge,
Hoover, and several months into the
Roosevelt administration. He was
known as one Of the county's best
citizens, and was popular among all
classes.

DOughtOn Says
Acts of Congress
Passed for Good
of People of u. S.
Senior N. C. Congressman Again
Urged to Consider Race for
State GOvernOrship

Congressman R. L. Doughton, of
this district and chairman of the pow
erful ways and means committee, dis
cussing the social security measures
enacted by the 74th Congress said
before the eighth annual convention
of state BARRIERS in Salisbury Monday
that those measures were si.e great
est, most far-reaching and humani-
tartan legislation ever enacted in the
United States"
"My greatest fear, however" he
continued, "is that we will continue
to rely too much on the government.
We are not self-dependent enough ..
and must get back to more self-reli-
ance, helping ourselves, otherwise the
government will fail"
The past Congress enacted consid-
cradle legislation that was frankly
said experimental, but 1--WE did our
best to help the country, but the new
Legislation is designed for the best
interests of the people. Relief and
recovery were the major problems
and an honest effort was made to
consider both"
Many daily newspapers are using
their columns to send a challenge to
Mr.. Doughton to reconsider his an
nouncement that he will not run for
governor in the next election and
make an announcement that he will.
Probably the strongest editorial on
this subject was printed in the Win
ston-Salem Journal last week. Part
of it is given here:
"It is doubtful if a Democratic
leader in North Carolina ever was
confronted with such a challenge as
Congressman Robert L. Doughton is
now facing.
with three major and two minor
candidates for the nomination for
governor already in the field, the fu-
ture looks bright for campaign that
will split the Democratic party in this
State into the bitterest factions that
have been seen here in q generation.
at is already apparent that it will
be impossible for a majority of the
Democrats Of this Commonwealth
ever to get together behind either Of
the present candidates, without at
least two holly contested primaries,
if at all.
"Wisest leaders of the Democratic
party naturally would prefer cam
paign of less heat and danger to par
ty harmony than this one promises to
be, provided that all five Of the pres
ent candidates for governor stay in
the race. They would like to see a
candidate strong enough to unite the
party in the first primary.
cit is at this point that the chal-
lenge to Congressman Doughton
energies. For he is the only Democrat
now living who would have the sup
port of an overwhelming majority of
the Democratic voters Of North Caro-
lima in campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor"

Huey Longs Last Minute Fiibuster-
ing Causes Death of Bill for
Enough Funds
DOUGHTON is FATHER OF BILL

Because an appropriations bill was
killed by Louisiana's Senator Huey
Longs adjournment filibuster during
tn last hours of Congress, President
Roosevelt has announced that funds
will not be available for old-age pen
sions, crippled children, the blind, or
widows, before next January.
Congressman r. L. Doughton, of
this district, is given the credit for
sponsoring the social security bill and
seeing it safely through the regular
congressional channels. The bill is ac-
claimed as one of Mr.. Doughton's
major achievements.
Officials said in Washington that
$4,000, 900 had been provided from
the work-relief fund for two projects
which would supply statistical infor-
nation that would aid in setting the
joint social endeavors on their way.
Two Projects Begun Now
One to be carried out in st. Louis,
will arrange the names and birth
dates of each person counted in the
1900 census in alphabetical order &C.
cording to states and towns. Officials
said this would provide and easy
method of checking ages to determine
the legal age of persons applying for
pensions.
They said they were receiving up
ward of 200 inquiries a day seeking
to clear up the birth dates of pension
applicants. Some of these cost as
much as $50 to answer, they explain
ed, because of the scattered sources
of information. The average cost was
set at So. With the newly arranged
sytem, this cost would be reduced to
a few cents. They said that in the
absence Of birth records, census GER
LITIGATION was the only legal record
that could be furnished in many in
stances.
The other study, which will supply
information to be used in planning
for uneraployment Insurance. b the
census Of business. This will be con-
Quoted from headquarters at Phila-
delphia.
1t will be a complete census, cover
ing retail and wholesale trade, con-
1.ruction and real estate, business
and miscellaneous services, profess
sional services, banking, finance and
insurance, transportation and COM
munications.
In these groupings of Industry,
statistics will be gathered on wages,
employment, investment and sales.
The wage and employment figures
can be used by the social insurance
board.
Officials said this census would
provide a complete picture of bust
ness as of 1929, 1888 and 1885, thus
making possible comparison of the
status before the depression, during
its worst years and at present.
To obtain workers to make the
study, they said examinations would
be held.
While plans developed for getting
these studies under way in Septem-
her, President Roosevelt was reported
to have rejected proposals for CEN
sus project calling for a $4,000, 1000
study of youths and their employ
ment.
The President was informed that
plans for the census could not be
completed by November date set
for giving jobs to 100000 on relief
rolls.
The social security program which
would have received the biggest slice
of the deficiency appropriation bill
$76, 1000, 00O-was the heaviest suffer-
er from its failure. Most of the other
agencies can be cared for out of other
funds.
