Extension Workers
Study New Program

Agricultural authorities agree
that the completely of modern
civilization has given rise to farm
problems unlike any that have been
encountered before.
To aid in the solution of these
problems have been called the philo-
sopher and the sociologist, as we'll as
the scientific research worker and
the farmer in the field.
The broader social and economic
aspects of rural life must be con-
sidered in the development of an
adequate longtime farm program,
said Dean I. o. Scnaub, director Of
the State College agricultural ex-
tension service.
With this in view, North Caro-
lina's extension workers made a
special study of the deeper implica-
tons of present conditions while
holding their annual conference at
State College last week.
In working out a sound program,
the dean said, they must encourage
farmers to cooperate in balancing
their farming schedules so as to
maintain their own elf-sufficiency
while producing the commodities
needed by society.
mot only must we promote bet
ter cultural practices" he declared,
'but we must also study the mar
kets to determine the best produc-
ton schedules.
I'VE need to give careful con-
sideration to the welfare of the
farmer and his family, to the deve-
lopment Of better living standards
and a more vital, wholesome COM
munity life.
'In fact, there is hardly a phase
Of rural life that does not come
within the scope of the longtime
agricultural program now being set
in motion by the extension ser
vice"

FINGERPRINTING
EVERYBODY

The movement for the recording
of everybody's fingerprints SEEM
to be gaining momentum. In sew.
eral communities voluntary organi.
cations have been formed to en-
courage parents to have thei1
children's fingerprints recorded
and, incidentally, their own
Many municipalities now require
the fingerprinting of every appli-
cant for a public job. Sometimes
when these fingerprints n sent tc
Washington for comparison with
those of persons of known criminal
records, strange discoveries are
made. Crooks Of varying degrees
have thus been detected in their eff
forts to get on the public payroll in
positions of trust.
The largest collection Of finger
prints anywhere in the world is in
the Department of Justice in Wash
An even larger file may
soon have to be established, to iden-
tify persons claiming benefits I'M
der the new Social Security Act.
There does not seem to be any good
argument against keeping a finger
print record for Identification pur-
poses. Criminals and their lawyers
are about the only serious directors.
Recently several missing" men
were located by means of their
fi~ngerprint records, and the identi-
ty of several persons killed in acct
dents was established by the same
means. The Department of JUS
tice has opened its files to those
who wish to place their own
fingerprints on record, and the
number availing themselves Of this
is steadily growing.

PRESIDENT REFUSES TO

did not believe it did.
Then reviewing the history o.
the work-relief fund, the President
said he had made his estimate fol
relief last January when a survey
showed there were 100000 en-
ployables who were needy and un-
employed.
On that basis, he said, he est.
mated 100000 would be re-
quired and Congress appropriated
it. That was a simple mathemati.
cal statement, the President said
adding that if there were less thar
100000, the money would not b
spent, but if there were more, i,
would not be enough.
Then the President was asked di.
rectly where the responsibility
would rest if the 100000 jobs die
not care for all the employables
He replied it would rest with thu
States, counties, municipalities, ane
private charity
Asked if the States had any re-
sponsibility beyond the 100000
estimated needy unemployables, the
Chief Executive asserted they hae
complete responsibility for al
raeedy 5individubls beyond thu
100000 unemployables.

Republican strategists would wei
come a strong third party move
ment of this kind, for the general
assumption is that it would draw
many more votes away from Mr..
Roosevelt and the Democratic Party
than from the Republicans. That
assumption, however, is somewhat
debatable. There is no evidence

Gus than Democrats of getting Old

of this fiasco may easily be a far
more serious international situation
than has so far developed.
Ever since the Great War, the
position of Great Britain has been
that of guardian of the peace of
Europe. She has held that position
because, in spite of everything, the
rest of the word believed in Eng
lands good faith. Now, of a sud-
den, that confidence has been dis
PEELED by the present British gov
ernment's own act.
1t will take a lot of explaining,
years of time, to rebuild the worlds
confidence in Britain's national
honor. Doubtless the explanation
will be that to give Mussolinia what
he wanted was the only way to
avert the actual outbreak of war
on the Continent of Europe. But
all the present indications are that
the inevitable conflict has been
fastened, rathefSthan retarded.
Coming opstop of the failure of
the League Of Nations to settle the
quarrel between two of its mem
bers, and the breakdown of the Lon
don Naval Conference, the failure
of England to stand up for the
rights of Ethiopia against Italy's
aggressions has thrown all Europe
into a fresh frenzy of nationalism.
And that, the keenest observers of
European affairs believe, can end
only to war, and that not long de-
1ayed.
Germany alone, of all the Euro
pean powers, is happy over the

understanding through the wider
and speedier distribution of news
from all the world to all the world.
Nothing approaching the great net
work of newsgathering machinery
and news distribution which exists
today was even imaginable in my
journalistic apprentice days.
America is away ahead of all the
rest of the world in the freedom of
its news channels. Most of the
politicians and governments who
seek to impose their wills upon their
peoples begin by trying to suppress
or distort the news. I often won
der if Americans realize that we
owe our individual liberties, which
are greater than those of any other
people, to the freedom which our
Constitution guarantees to the press.
MURDER editor
They killed Walter Liggett in
Minneapolis the other day. Liggett
had a newspaper in which he was
printing the truth, as he saw it,
about crime and politics. He was
making it too clear to the people of
the North West that organized
crime cannot flourish without the
protection of politicians.
Politicians in Minnesota attempt
ed to clamp a censorship on the
press some years ago. They passed
a law authorizing the suppression of
news which some official might re-
gard as dangerous-to the politi-
clans. The Supreme Court of the
United States declared the law in
valid. That left the politicians and
their criminal allies no Means of
s%uppressing the news except by kill
ing the editor. Liggett is the sec
ond editor killed in Minneapolis in
a little over a year.
1t is a safe assumption that any
body who tries to suppress news has
something ~disgraceful to conceal.

would if carried out, give more than
half of Ethiopia to Italy as a reward
for its unprovoked attack upon a
peaceful and almost defenseless
nation.
1t is to the credit of the peoples
and the statesmen of most of the
other nations of Europe that they
denounced the proposal with one

Port Officials Say Plan
Will S save Money,
Additional Handling
Not Involved

Negotiations for the establishment
Of q port terminal truck line link
ing the Brownsville port turning
basin with the customs in Mata-
Rsoros were continuing Monday, ac-
eording to officials Of the Browns
vile Navigation district.
Similar arrangements, 10 was
pointed out, are o In effect at
other ports by the same concern
which plans to operate here.
Trailers pulled by a tractor would
be used, several OF them being at
tached to n tractor.
In view Of the fact that 1t is nee
essary TO unload any metals or
ores that might come through
Matamoros from the Mexican Ma
tional Lines ears to American rail-
way ears In bringing the ore to the
port, the truck line would involve
no additional handling, officials Of
the district explained.
In fact the loading and unload
ing would be simpler, they said.
Under this arrangement the con-
centrate would be loaded from the
railway cars in Matamoros onto the
trailers. and would then be brought
across the bridge to the port turn
ing basin under bond. being either
stored there or loaded aboard a
ship directly from the trailers.
The plan has proved feasible In
several other parts OF the country
in handling similar metals.
