In Net Imports
Uncertainty Abroad and
Recovery Here Held
Chief Reasons for The
Huge Balance.

WaShlnSton.-1o 1orelSn I'm
ancial and political uncertainties"
and the attraction of improved
business conditions Secretary Roper
attributed 1885 huge flow of gold
to the United States.
In a foreword to the depart
ment's annual review of the balance
of international payments, previ-
ously published in summary form,
he termed the gold movement the
years Outstanding" factor, and
fixed Americas net imports of the
metal at S1,739,0G0,000.
While Financial and exchange
difficulties in many countries"
continued to act as a deterrent on
world trade, he said, American ex-
ports were seven per cent above
1884, reaching a total of $685.
10000 as compared with imports
"A per cent above the preceding
year.
As an underlying reason for the
gain in imports, he cited "the years
Improvement in domestic economic
activity in this country" which,
he said, stimulated the demand
for raw materials and other pro-
ducts from abroad.
Summing up all merchandise and
services items involved in the bal
ance of international payments
Roper reported an excess of receipts
of sos, 100000 as compared with
$461,0O0,0 900 in 1884.
In service items, Tourist ex'
penditures, shipping, and simila:
tems), exclusive of dividend ane
interest payments, the United State
had receipts of $434,000,000 ant
payments of S837,000,0OO an ex
cess of $403,0oo,0 600 in payments
"This import balance on service
account was, as usual, influenced
primarily by the substantial volume
of expenditures abroad by Ameri'
can Travellers" Roper said, "the in
crease in our domestic purchasin,
power is reflected in the estimated
outlays abroad by residents Of tn
United States, which aggregated
$409, 900, 900 in 1885 as compared
with s331,o00,0 900 in l934....
I'm addition to tourist expendi
lures, the most important service
items entering our balance of In
ternational payments include ship
ping and freight transactions, re-
mittances by foreign-born resi-.
dents here to their relatives abroad
which in 1885 fell for the frs,
time below $100,000,oo0, chart
table, religious, and other remit
tances, and various receipts and
payments relating to government
transactions abroad. 80.
Recorded date on capital move
ments indicate more than 1,50O,-
100000 of capital funds moved to
the United States from abroad. OF
this total, approximately $4,000,
900 constituted short-term bank
ing funds, of which approximately
one-third represented American
owned funds which returned to the
United States from foreign centers'
ION the whole, these funds were
sensitive to European political and
financial conditions, and Their
movement were fairly accurate
barometers of the periodic uncer-
tainties and fears abroad which
arose from the gold bloc crise:

from ire Italo-E Ethiopian conflict

The big number jumped the to-

as taken away following con-

Farm Questions
Answered At
STATE COLLEGE

Question: My young pullets are
showing weakness of the legs. What
causes this and how may l control
it?
Answer: Usually one or two
things causes this trouble. The
birds may not be getting a balan-
ced diet or they be wormy. Check
the diet and see that the pullets
have a well-balanced developing
mash before them at all times.
Open a few of the pullets and ex-
anime the intestines for worms. If
these conditions are checked and
no apparent cause found, send some
typical specimens to the poultry
disease laboratory at State College
and have them examined.
Question: When is the best time
to cut lespedeza for hay?
Answer: Lespedeza should be
ready for cutting in August. The
Korean variety will bloom about
the middle of the mouth and should
be cut at that time. The other
varieties will be blooming about
the last of August when they
should be cut also. If the Com
mon, Kobe, and Tennessee Is are
cut at an early stage like this,
they will make better hay. The
second crop then will re-seed itself
Or make enough growth for turn
ing under to improve the soil.
When growing lespedeza for seed
purposes only, however, it will not
pay to cut off an August hay crop.
Question: Do you advise cutting
tobacco stalks after harvesting the
crop?
Answer: All agricultural stu
dents agree that as DON as the to-
bacco crop is harvested, thes talks
should be cut with a stalk cutter
and disked into the ground. This
will help to destroy a number of
insect and disease pests which usu-
ally live on. the suckers until frost.
Dising under the stalks also is a
good way to prepare the soil for
badly needed winter hay and cover
crops and fall grain.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ANOTHER oDIoUs COMPARISON

There must be eternal vigilance on the part OF
the people of South Carolina who wish to see laws
enforced and proper punishment meted out to vio-
Iators of the law The Herald places itself among
the class of people who asking for law en-
forcement and for protection of people generally
,vbo try to obey the law With this thought IN
mind we give space to an editorial from the Gas
tonia Gazette that makes terribly 'odous COM

follows: '" So - = a'3
The Gazettes stand on drunken drivers is too

"slap on the wrist" and an admonition to go and

COME AND GET 1T!


Distinguished as the New Deal relief agencles
have made themselves for open-handed generosity
in spending public money, it remains for the Ma
tional Youth Administration to outstrp them all IN
warm, glowing zeal for delivering the dole wheeh-
er it be needed or not. ."..| e. .r' -"
NYA started out an agency for giving boys
and girls in relief families boost through school.
But it was soon found that NYA had more to offer
than there were students to take. The head ou-
reaucrats then entered upon the plan OF hxlng
quotas, according to school enrolment, expecting
the local authrities to help them push relief upon
the uncomprehending youngsters. Even that tailed
to give the bureau satisfaction in its urge to speno
so the eligibility rules broadened again Never
mind the familys relief status, never mind the stu
dent requirement. 1t was enough for NYA that It's
clients be young.
As further effort by NYA to get rid OF the
money allotted to it comes the establishment OF
what the facetious have termed She-She-She camps
Civilian Conservation Corps for girls. The pu-
reau plans so such camps throughout the country
which would indicate that NYA is not to be downed
in its efforts to use up its appropriation. 1t ought
to be fairly easy at that, to induce innumeraole
girls to take vacations in the woods if the pay is
high enough-Charlotte News.

FARLEY ENDS
Negotiations to Avoid Pos

Broken Off

NANKING, Dec. 7. CUP). -
japanese Ambassador Shigeru Ka-
wagoe left Marking for Shanghai
Saturday abruptly ending negotia-
tions originally begun as an at
tempt to prevent possible war
between China and Japan.
Kawagoe's departure was in
preted by some Chinese as tacit
admission of defeat. They thought
that Jspan's next move to domi-
nate China would be through Man
chukuo in the current Suiyuan-
Chahar war.
The rupture in negotiations
came shortly after Manchu-Mon-
gol planes bombed Chinese posi-
tons at Pailing-Miao, Taolin and
Hsinho =. an unsuccessful attempt
to smash Chinese defense lines.
The pro-Japanese irregulars then
retreated towards Tamiao, APP
proximately 60 miles northeast of
the Failing Miamo.
The Chinese foreign office, how.
ever, did not regard Kawagoe's
action as a definite rupture of dip

Editor The Times-Ncws:
Will you please give me space
in your paper for the printing of
this communication? What ! have
to say will be straight from the
shoulder in plain English.
We hear many disparaging re-
marks made today about the
church. Numerous complaints
were heard during the recent cleo
ton in regard to the political ac-
tivitics Of church members. A
large number were said to have
sold their votes for Il cash conSid-
Grafton. | cannot vouch for either
the truth or falSchood Of such
statements as these. Not so long
ago / was told by a newspaper
publisher in the course Of con-
vcrsation that church members
ere the only ones who do not pay
their subscriptions. During the
the past year, according to stats
tics, a few thousand churches were
closed, and the membership either
disbandcd or united with other
churches. 1t is also fact beyond
the possibility Of dispute that
drunkards, immoral reprobatcS,
Eootleggers and others who have
not single vestiGc of the religion
OF Jesus Christ have, their names
on church books over the length
and breadth Of. Christian America.
In some Of these cases, the pastors
and the majority of the member
ship arc opposed to turning the
errirg ones out of the church. In
other instances, the law of the de-
nomination is such that the of
Tenders cannot be turned out
without conviction by church trial,
and none of the members have
backbone enough to bring charges
against them that they may be
brought to trial! Meanwhile the
church is slowly but SUI, l.. 'rsing
its power with God and humanity.
The solution is simple, but not
easy of attainment. The church
must come back to it's First Love.
