WAR CLOUDS In EUROPE SEEM LIGHTER
Allied Nations Plan
to Chastise the
Germans
ITALY TO PROFIT

During the past week heavy war
clouds seemed to be in a fair way
for breaking over Europe where
peace is already decidedly shaky,
but the latest developments as re-
ported from Paris, London, and
Rome are that open warfare may
be avoided.
The cause of the immediate troub-
lie is the reoccupation Of the Rhine
zone which was demilitarized, after
the World War, many Ashe county
veterans having been members of
the Army of the Occupation in that
part Of Germany. France took alarm
at Hitler's bold move to reoccupy
this stragetic point and England is
reported as being prepared to help
in taking a firm stand toward the
actions of the militaristic German
dictator, Chancellor Adolf Hitler,
and to force him to evacuate the
Rhineland.
This need of France and England
for help against Germany may re-
suit in being godsend for Italy as
Mussolini is willing to lend his army
of million men toward keeping
Germany in her place in exchange
for a lifting of sanctions against
Italy and for a clean bill Of health"
in Ethiopia where Italy has already
overcome the major portion of the
Ethiopian Emperor's armies
It is thought that the nations who
have agreed to press the sanctions
against Italy will be glad TO make
the exchange above mentioned and
Italy will, therefore, have a free
hand in Ethiopia.
The joining of England, France,
Belgium and italy win ring
of steel around Germany that should
serve to keep her military spirit
down. Russia is said to be willing to
join in with the major powers
against Germany and many of the
smaller countries are already bound
by treaty to be ready to act in the
event Germany again tries to assert
her supremacy as European
power.
In the event these countries can
agree, Europe will have more
peaceable aspect than it has had for
some time.

Believes in Program
of BeautfcatiOn
for County

The Skyland Post has received a
letter from Judge George p. Pell, Of
Raleigh, former Jefferson attorney,
who is so well-known and well-be-
loved in Ashe that a copy of the
letter is being passed on to the
readers:
TO THE EDITOR:-It has been
thirty-four years since I left dear
old Ashe, and there has not been a
day since left in which I have not
regretted the necessity of leaving. It
is the dearest spot on earth to me
and always will be. The only five
years I have really lived were spent
there. I ate like a horse and slept
like a baby, and came in contact
with the most sincere and loyal peo-
pie on earth. Loyalty is great trait.
If anyone doubts the loyalty of the
people of Ashe to it's real friends,
let them read the returns from the
Democratic primaries when Mai.
Arthur L. Fletcher and I were on
the ticket.
One of the greatest things I ever
did for old Ashe was to make of
Governor Aycock one of her best
friends. The eloquent Governor in
all his travels never failed to praise
her. He often said that George Pell
went to Ashe to live because he
heard that there was better grazing
there than anywhere else. And he
was not fooled.
Good people aof Ashe, rise to an
pp eciation Of your great 96shty.
Stick to it, for if you ever leave it
you will regret it. You have the
garden spot of the State to live in.
Beautify your already lovely rolling
lands and meadows with artificial
lakes, plant shrubery around them
and invite the world to come to
see you.

Bruno to Die

Talk of reprieve for Bruno
Richard Hauptmann subsidized rap
idly today and even the prOsecu-
ton was inclined to believe
Hauptmann would die in the cleo
trio chair the week of March 30.
A high prosecution official, who
said last week there was "every
indication" of a new reprieve
swung to the other viewpoint, and
said he did not think the convict
ed Lindbergh baby killer would
escape the chair.
Governor Harold G. Hoffman,
who stayed Hauptmann's execu-
ton on January 16, twenty mine
hours before he was to go to the
chair, has by his own statement,
no power to sign a second reprieve
after March IL, and said last week
'as matters stand now" there will
not be second reprieve.

Dante's ''InfernO'
to Be Shown Here

The famous and classic piece of
literature ''The Inferno, written by
Dante, has been scheduled for an
early showing at the Jeffersonian
Theatre, the management is happy
to announce.
The story in the theatre covers the
life of man who rises to the height
of wealth and fame, but tramples
others under him to do so. His vi
sion of hell as the result of his meth
cd of living is most dramatic, and
makes the picture an outstanding
production.

RAILROAD BILL
BY PETTENCILL
REPORTED out
Indiana Congressman Wins
Victory in Action by
Committee.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Rep-
resentative Samuel B. Pettengill,
South Bend won an almost single
handed victory by getting his bill
to repeal the long and short haul
clause from the Railroad Act re-
ported out by the House Rules Com
mittee.
Should it pass the railroads will
be able to meet truck and water
competition on freight rates, Mr..
Pettengill explains.
At the present time they are not
permitted to charge lower rates for
a long haul than those which would
be charged for delivery t" inter-
vening points along the way.
Fair play for all forms of trans
portation and no undue advantage
for any IS the objective of his BILL
Mr.. Pettengill contends.
Pleads for Fair Play
In this struggle for survival
there is just one thing the railroads
are entitled to have from govern
ment" he said. That is fair play.
And that is what they do not now
have. They are taxed to build
rights-of-w way on land, water and
in the air for their competitors to
use
Over-regulation has discouraged
the initiative of their management.
And finally, by such devices as the
long and short haul, they have
been tied to the post and compet-
ing agencies have been free to un-
clersell them"
Mr.. Pettengill points out that
this clause was inserted in the law
in 1887 when railroads enjoyed
transportation monopoly, but that
it is. outmoded by tfuck competi-
ton.
Outlines Competition
I'VE now have five large agencies
OF transportation, whereas in 1887
the railroads had practical
monopoly he said. These five are
the railways themselves, pipe lines
waterways, highways and airWays.
"Of the five, the railroads alone
are hamstrung with the long and
short haul section.
Il now am ready to move a COM
mutation Of sentence and give the
railroads another and equal
chance.
1T is time to stop kicking the
railroads around. The repeal of the
long and short haul simply places
the railroads on terms of competi-
tive equality with other carriers-no
more, no less"
