Lamont asked If it was reasonable
to expect farmers to refuse to sell
their cotton. or miners their copper.
for fear the orders will stop coming
imp"
Vandenberg's response was that he
thought temporary war exports were
"penny-wise and pound-foolish" and
that it is bad business" to finance
such trade when it creates an indus
trial boom certain to result in defia-
ton later.
Il can't escape the conclusion" 4"
Vandenberg asserted. that much Of
our postwar deflation was due to pre-
war imitation"
He added, II believe an artificially
stimulated war export trade is the
worst thing possible for the country"
Senator Clark. Democrat, of Mis-
souri,. joined with Vandenberg in sup
porting this contention.
Morgan Address Copy Offered.
Morgan was allowed to put in the
record copy of an address he made
October 8. 1915. to representatives Of
bond houses gathered at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in New York to discuss
the $500, ,000, 900 Anglo French loan.
Discussing the safety" of the bond
issue. then being foated by the Nor
gan firm. Morgan told the bond
agents:
This bond, in my opinion. Is not a
war bond. 1t is giving Americas GUS
toners time. The best customers that
America has. and has had for years
ask time to pay Tor what they are
buying here. They are buying much
more tran they usually do.
1T seems to me that a country
which Is starting out to be a world
power in trade must learn that it
must give its customers time, wisely,
properly. when their credit deserves it,
as a bank has to do, and therefore
this is not a pro-ally affair or an anti
Gernain affair or anything else; 1t is
q pro-American affair. and that only"
War Trsde Held Proper.
Regarding this statement, Senator
vandenberg asked If the House of
Morgan still feels that a heavy war
export trade is helpful to the United
States.
Lamont replied it was "a natural
and proper thing for America to sell
to the allies"
Didn't it have unfortunate roper
cussions?" Vandenberg inquired.
THE unfortunate repercussions
came from other causes" Lamont re-
sponded.
Vandenberg then read the following
excerpt from Morgan's address to the
bond men:

Earlier, the House OF Morgan chal-
lenged an implication by members OF
the committee that 1t was largely to
blame for the postwar depression. as
well as for Americas entry into the
World War.
A debate between members Of the
Morgan firm and members of the
committee over responsibility of "ar-
tificlally stimulated wartime indus
trial expansion" for postwar depres-
sons enlivened the committees re-
sumption of hearings this morning.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, led the attack on war
trade with declaration that the
World War has shown that the pre-
war imitation" of American industry
stimulated BY Morgan loans to the
allies-brought on postwar denation
and unemployment.
Morgan and Lamont argued that
Americas trade with the allies was
natural" and unavoidable" and that
to have refused this commerce would
have been impossible under condi-
tions then existing. They contended
the depression was due to a combina-
ton of causes. some not at all con.
nected with the war.

PROTECTION GIVEN
LABOR ON RELIEF
Hopkins Moves to Guard
Workers From "ChiseIing
Type of Employer"
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Harry L. Hopkins moved today to
protect relief labor from the "chisel-
ing type OF employer" and at the
same time to protect existing stand
ards of wages in private industry.
w. p. A. workers we're notified by
the administrator that they need not
accept private jobs unless these pro-
vided full-time employment at "a
standard or going rate OF wages" and
did not conflict with established
union relationships
Hopkins clarified the rules govern
ing relief labor in letter to State
w. P. A. administrators, reiterating
that when temporary private employ
ment ended, workmen should be put
back on w. P. A. jobs.
Opportunity Stressed.
''It seems to me extremely impor-
tant." Hopkins added. that all
workers be given every reasonable op-
portunity to accept temporary en-
ployment because this often results in
a permanent opportunity and, OBJ
viously, workers are getting to be
loath to accept temporary jobs unless
they can be given definite assurance
that the w. P. A. work will be open
to them upon their completion"
This new administration attempt
to solve the problem of inducing
needy to take private jobs came .as
officials reiterated that they had no
immediate intention of reviving direct
relief allotments.
They said the S38,OOO,OOO of sup
Elementary allotments" made when
the Relief Administration was liqui-
dated last November were intended
to meet all expenses in turning back
100000 unemployable cases to States
and communities, and to support re-
lief enrollers until their pay checks
arrived.
Few Demands Received.
Officials said comparatively few de-
mands for additional dole allotments
had been received to date, but COM
mented privately that more were ex-
pected when the supplementary" al
lotments are exhausted.
Gov. Henry Horner of Illinois. how
ever. recently made personal appeal
direct to President Roosevelt for ad-
ditional grants This was refused, al
though the States w. P. A. quota was
simultaneously boosted by $4,000. and
Horner called special session of the
Legislature to appropriate additional
State relief funds.

Sales Tax in Ashe County Lacks
$1O4,43O.45 in Paying for
8-MOnth Schools

County Superintendent J. Ivan
Miller has received an order from
the state school commission which
states that all schools not maintain
ing an avearge of at least fifty per
cent of the attendance may be closed
at the end of six months. The order
follows:
"Be it resolved by the State
School Commission, pursuant to
authority contained in the School
Machinery Act of 1885, that if any
school or schools, after the close of
the first six months of school, shall
have an attendance for one week of
less than fifty per cent of the men,
bership during the first six months,
it shall be the duty of the county
board of education or the city board
of trustees, as the case may be, to
close such school or schools for the
remainder of the term; and the
allotment of funds will be made ac-
cordingly."
The same communication to Mr..
Miller revealed the fact that the
state collected during the past year
the sum of ST., 044 for sales tax from
Ashe and that it spent for the up
keep of the eight months school in
Ashe, the sum of $115, 474.81. Neck
lenburg county is the only county in
the state that has a sales tax collec-
ton that is more than the expense
of the school system. The state col
lections in sales taxes were $780,
381.47, and the cost of the schools in
the state for eight months was
$16,816,355.76 last year.

''Huckleberry Finn" Will Be at
Grassy Creek and Twilight
MinStrelS at Lansing

The Virginia-Carolin High School,
whose principal is Prof. Raymond
Francis, is staging two outstanding
performances this week: 'Huckle-
berry Finn, comedy of youth, at
the Virginia Carolina High School
auditorium on Saturday night, April
4th; and the Twilight Minstrels in
blackface at Lansing High School,
Friday night, April 3rd.
'Huckleberry Finn" is the most
successful. novel that Mark Twain
wrote in his long history of writing,
and it has proved so popular as a
play that royalty of twenty-five
dollars must be paid before it can
be produced. 1t is billed as a comedy
for young and old and when one
sees it, it is easy to agree that this
slogan aptly describes it. The public
is urged to buy tickets early as a
full house is expected.
The Twilight Minstrels at Lansing
is expected to draw another record
crowd as it features some of the best
music, vocal solos, quartettes, and
choruses that have ever been staged
with a like entertainment.
The proceeds from the entertain
ment will go toward the benefit of
the Virginia Carolina High School.

on Three Red Cross
Hospitals

Squadrons of Italian planes prac-

second largest city, with incendiary
bombs Saturday, said reports reach
ing officials in Adds Ababa, Ethio-
plan capital.
Victims were believed to be few,
as the entire population of the an

when the first planes were sighted.
An official communication said Ii
bombs hit the Egyptian Red Cross
hospital, several struck the Ethio-
plan Red Cross hospital and two
fell near the Swedish hospital.
A French mission, the French con-
sulate, prison, the former Italian
consulate and a radio station were
all wrecked, the communique said.
''Monsignor Jaroseau, in charge Of
the French mission, refused to leave
the altar during the bombardment,"
the communique added. "The church
was wrecked but he was unhurt."
60 Planes Over City
A group of Is Fascist bombers
roared over the city from one side
and 35 came in from the opposite di-
rection after dawn, but only secuted
as the population evacuated.
Then Is to 20 bombing planes ar
rived two hours later and for two
hours and fifteen minutes dropped
bombs, leaving the city in flames.
