SEN. REYNOLDS
WILL FIGHT
SANCTIONS

Senator Robert P. Reynolds
Cd of North Carolina, declared
today he would oppose all efforts
to have the United States join
League Of Nations sanctions.
Reynolds, just returning from
world tour and the congressional
junket to the Philippines, said
everyone would try to cheat sane
lions and that one country had
already triple-crossed another on
the question.
Declaring Italy would have a
hard time conquering Ethiopia,
Reynolds added that the war Is
really between England and Italy,
two big imperial powers.
Warns of Sanctions
Imposition of oil sanctions
against Italy would be almost GER
tain to draw the United States
into another European war, Sena'
tor Reynolds said. He added:
This country should keep its
hands off European affairs and
adopt a policy of strict neutral.
ity."
Senator Reynolds scoffed at
League of Nations efforts to end
the ETHIOPIAN war, declaring the
League is dominated and con-
trolled by Great Britain. He
added:
"The war in Ethiopia is not
. war between Italy and Eth
Opia. 1t is a war between Italy
and Great Britain over which
country shall be imperial in
Africa"
LAVAL "CAT'S PAW"
Referring to Premier LavalS ef-
forts to promote a peace pact, Sen
ator Reynolds said:
Premier Laval is the cats
paw Of Anthony Eden, British
foreign minister"
Senator Reynolds said he sees
no indications of peace in Europe.
On the other hand, he said, there
are definite indications that at
least five European nations are
on the brink of war.
He laughed at the suggestion
that oil sanctions against Italy
might be effective and said:
"The nations agreeing to the
sanctions would cheat on each
other"
The Ethiopian expedition is
draining heavily on Italy. Senator
Reynolds said, and he believes it

Southern Planters
Invited To Raise
Argentina Cotton

Birmingham, Ala, March 26-While
in Birmingham recently on business
trim DR.. Jose c. Castells, governor OF
the huge Chaco territory in Argen-
tina. issued an invitation to Alabama
cotton growers to come down to his
state and live.
He said there wuld not be any Ag-
ricultural Adjustmest Administration
or Bankhead limitations on produc-
ton. For in the Shaco they're trying
to increase cotton production, rather
than control it.
The Chaco territory in Argentina,
he explained, is not to be confused
with the Chaco territory over which
Bolivia and Paraguay fought.
He said his territory had been
part of Argentina for years. 1t is a
peaceful country, he said, of 4O,OOO
square miles and especially suited
to the growing cotton.
DR.. Castells said if any southern
cotton grower wants to come to Cha
CO, he will see to it that he gets plot
| of ground to grow cotton.
Of course, he said, the applicant
would have to prove his worth. He
| would be given a 120 to 140-acre farm
and placed on it for two years pro-
| baton. If he demonstrated his Prov
| ess as a cotton grower, he would be
given the opportunity to purchase
the land at approximately dollar an
acre and have a period of lO years
to pay for it. -. -.

Southern Farmers
Who Settle Down
Finest Citizens

Clemson, S. c., March 26.-The old
axiom that rolling stone gathers
no moss" can be applied with peculiar
fitness to that class Of South Carolina
farmers who rove from pillar to post
ness Of making living and being a
good citizen, according to DR.. B. o.
Williams associate sociologist of the
Clemson College extension service DR..
Williams recently completed an ex-
tenslve survey Of farm mobility IN
eight counties-Anderson Greenville,
Pickens, Chester, Saluda, Williams
burg, Hampton and Charleston in
which 2130 rural families constituted
the basis of study.
These counties were chosen because
they represented the major soil pro
blems of the State, and the people in
terviewed represent a big percentage
of the total number of farmers in
these areas.
"In addition to studying farm mo-
bility," DR.. Williams pointed out 1--WE
are afforded an opportunity to dag
nose the living conditions of the farm
in relation to the amount of moving.
The findings prove cOnclusively that
farmers who engage in excessive NOV
ing are not successful in acquiring
those things that go to make up sue
cesSful farm life.
among the many reasons" he adj
ded. care the facts that constant NOV
ers cannot see their way clear to
plant fruit trees, build fences, cut
drains terrace the land, puchase live
stock, or plant soil-building crops.
"Another major point against con-
slant moving is the fact that the NOV
ers are unable to participate actively
in the organized life of the commun-
ity. The highly successful farmer is
one who locates somewhere perma-
nently and buckles down to the job of
making home"

Homecoming Year
Advocated as Aid
To L. S. Business

East Orange, N. j., March ga
proposal For national Homecoming
year. TO give impetus to trade, trans
port and the hotel business Is being
sent out by Frederick P. Schenck.
East Orange lawyer. The plan has
been submitted to the Chamber of
Commerce and Civics of the Oranges
and Maplewood Mr. Schenck also has
conferred with representatives Of oil
companies claiming that his scheme
also would serve to bring business to
automobile manufacturers and refin-
ers Of gasoline.
For some time 1 have been want
ing to go back to a small town in
Pennsylvania where l spent nine
years of my boyhood hoping to meet
some of my old friends" Mr.. Schenck
said in explaining his plan. "Out of
this desire came the thought that it
would be a good thing to make 1896
a national homecoming year, thereby
intoxicating a desire to see our for
mer friends"
First it would stimulate railroad
and automobile traffic everywhere"
he said. "In the second place, it would
encourage each municipality to have
a homecoming period extending from
a day to a week, during which stores
would be inclined to redecorate and
home owners to dress up their places.
Perhaps individuals would purchase
new clothing in connection with their
trips.
Third additional entertaining in
homes during homecoming weeks and
public luncheons would tend to in
crease the consumption of food.
Most important of all, however,
people would be encouraged to in
dulge in the Homecoming attitude
throughout the year, which would in
fluence them to visit their families"
