Will Go
Into Treasury
At Washington
N. c. Among % Others
Failing to Enact Laws :;
Ample Notice Given,
Says Board

Washington.-The North Caro-
lima treasury will lose the s3,OOO,,
900 that will be collected January
81, 1897, from employers for I'M
employment insurance, SO far as the
Social Security board is concerned
Chairman John G. Winant reveal
ed.
This tax is now a%ccruing and by
January 81, 1887, each and every
employer in the State who has
eight or more persons on his pay
roll must pay the Government one
per cent for 1886. Under the So
cial Security act. States having
enacted an unemployment Social
Security act acceptable to the board
by December 81, of this year, will
be credited with funds, thus en-
abled to distribute the money as
part of the unemployment insur-
ance.
Thus far p States have failed to
pass such laws, among them being
North Carolina, and Governor ].
C. B. Ehringhaus has declined to
call the Legislature together to en-
act a law to match the Govern
ment tax on the grounds that the
expense of an extra session would
be too great.
Asked at { press conference it
the Social Security board would ask
Congress to amend the act so that
these 26 states may retain the I'M
employment insurance fund, Win
ant said that the board would nos
do so, acting on the theory that
"all States have had ample notice
of the provisions Of the law.
Attention then was called to the
fact that the North Carolina Leg
stature had adjourned before the
Social Security act was enacted by
Congress, and that a resolution in
tended for State participation had
been held inadequate.
Chairman Winant declared that
he felt that the States had had am
pie notice, and again a question OF
constitutionality had been raised as
to any change in the law that
would be favorable to States re-
tanning this 1886 fund for tina:
years credit.
Thus far North Carolina has
taken no steps to participate in the
Social Security act, though the
machinery is being set up in the
State to enroll workers for old age
benefits under Title II of the ac'
of which old age assistance pay
ments will begin in 1912.
Workers now are being enrolled
by the Social Security board fol-
lowing distribution of cards by
postal employees. Chairman Win,
ant said that employers had shown
decided cooperation in filling out
cards to reveal the number of en-
ployes on their pay rolls.

The belief is growing in Wash
ington that President R~oosevelt's
"trip to South America may prove
TO be one Of the vital turning
points in u national history,
something which historians of the
future will refer to as the begin
ming of new era in world affairs.
Back of the Presidents attend
ance at the conference of American
Republics, which is being held at
Buenos Aires, a definite purpose to
bring the entire Western Henri
sphere into a new agreement for
cooperation in peace, common de-
Tense in wal and the free exchange
of commodities between the nations
of the two Americas at all times.
The logic of such a lineup is
quite obvious. This country does
not want to be involved in Eu-
ropean political affairs nor in Asia
tic politics. Neither do the Repub-
lies of the South. War is breeding
to the East and to the West. The
American continent is separated
from these warlike regions by the
Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific
Ocean.
Also to the South of us lies a
great opportunity for peaceful de-
velopment if mutual trade. South
America is the natural market for
American manufacturers and the
United States is a natural marke,
for South Americas raw materials.
Likewise, South America offer,
to the adventurous, pioneering spirit
of our youth as great opportunity
for exploration and development a:
our West did in the early days Of
our continental expansion.

A GREAT AMERICAN EMPIRE

1t is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that President Roosevelt
should cherish the dream of a unit
ed Western Hemisphere, which
could co~nceivably be entirely self
contained and free to develop a vast
empire with a new type of culture
and civilization, in no way depend
ent upon either Europe, Asia or
Africa. If hat dream should be
realized then the Presidents visit
to Buenos Aires would, indeed. be
a historical occasion.
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
has the same vision. He is meeting
the President at the Argentine capi-
tai and will remain there through
out the international conference to
participate in the discussions which
he hopes will result in the forma>
ton of an All-American League of
Nations.
That American business and in
dustry is at least hopeful that some>
thing will develop from this con-
ference to broaden our export mar
ket and render the opportunities
which South America offers more
readily available to North American
capital and enterprise, is indicated
by the fact that Harper Sibley,
President of the Chamber Of Com
e MERGE of the United States, flew
down to Buenos Aires last week to
attend the conference. Sibley also
plans an extended airplane tour of
the principal South American coun-
tries and capitals.
All the reports that come into
Washington indicate that the Latin
American peoples and their govern
ments have shaken off the fear of
~aggressions on the part of the Co
lossus of the North" This was a
fear mainly fostered by self-seeking
politicians of a type now rapidly
losing influence in the southern
continent. At present the road is
clearer than it has ever been for
such a Pan-American understand
mo. if not alliance. Such as has been
the dream of far-seeing statesmen
for many years.
THAT UROPEAN TANGLE
1t is no secret that the whole
problem of foreign relations is one
which is giving the Administration
more concern than almost any
domestic question.
The State Department is inclined
to feel that the civil war in Spain
may result in precipitating general
European hostilities, since both Mus
solini and Hitler have announced
their recognition of the rebels un>
der the leadership of Gen. Franco
as the de facto government of
Spain and Great Britain has an
nounced that it will resist any at
tempt on the part of the rebels to
interfere with British commerce in
Spanish ports.
The rebellion in Spain is defin-
itely a fascist movement, to set up
a government of the same dicta-
torial type as those of Italy and
Germany, while the existing gov
eminent of Spain is distinctly
Communistic and has the backing
of Soviet Russia.
