For America to Join

International News Service

Europe reacted quickly and
gravely today to the Washing.
ton announcement that the
American State Department
had approved shipment of over
100000 worth of airplanes
and airplane parts to Spanish
loyalists.
In Berlin the news was re-
garded as sensational, and
Chancellor Hitler was believed
ready to seize upon the incident
as proof nonintervention in
Spain is impossible and perhaps
to use it as an excuse to con-
tinue shipment Of arms and men
to Spanish insurgents in defi-
ance of France and Great
Britain.
England, fearing exactly
this, considered asking the
United States to ban such ship
ments to either side in Spain in
the event a blockade or other
effective nonintervention meas
ures are decided upon.
Robert Cuse, to whom the
shipment-licepSe was granted,
neither affirmed nor denied
that the planes would be sent
to Spain, merely observing that
the craft would not be con-
verted into fighting ships and
that they were destined for q
country with which we are
not at war"

BERLIN, Dec. 20 Q.N.S.).
Granting of a license by the
American State Department for
shipment of airplanes and air.
plane motors to Spanish loyalistS
created an uproar in Berlin today
and was regarded Immediately as
strengthening the Reich's hand in
Spain.
This action of the United States
may be the final factor in in
fluencing Chancellor Adolf Hitler
to decide to continue shipment Of
war supplies and German "vol.

Britain and France, it was stated
in high quarters.

The furore over the Washington
move began with publication Of
the afternoon newspapers in Ber.

Alfred E.. Smith Has

Alfred E. Smith is carrying on his.

tends to do about this presidential
campaign.
The man who really wears a
brown derby and is still addressed
as Governor" by the $50 persons
who work for him in the Empire
State building has not even limited
what his next move will be since his
appeal two weeks ago to the Demo-
cratic party to shelve Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
To his work-a-day associates there
has been different governor sit
ting these recent years in the chair
he brought from the chief execu-
tive's office in Albany in 1928 to his
green-carpeted Office on the 32nd
floor of the 102-story building. They
say he is not quite so affable as
formerly.
They haven't the slightest idea
whether he will cast aside a life
time loyalty to the Democratic party
and come out for Republican Can
didate Landon.

Reynolds Money

1t is easy for us to take our text on the evils
of money and the sin of accommodating large
fortunes-if we have not been able to get our
hands on much of the filthy lucre. And the ma
jority Of us have not been so successful
But we have had the good luck to have
number of men build vast fortunes within our
state which help us out considerably when tax
paying time comes around. Besides giving en-
ployment to thousands an inheritance check from
the estate of the late Smith Reynolds to the
amount of $2,O15,OOO has been mailed to the
State Attorney General to be stirred up with
our hard-earned dollars. This check is the larg-
est the state has ever received with the excep-
ton of one for $2,14O,OOO paid by the Reynolds
Tobacco Company in 1888.
Take few such lifts as this out of our
treasury and take the added employment such
fortunes give us, and our condemnation will be
bound to weaken somewhat.

Senator Nye Plans
Neutrality Program
Nye Says He Will Campaign 80
States This Summer and
Fall Against War

Announcing that he plans to intro
duce in Congress at next session two
bills embodying five-point perma-
nent neutrality program, Senator
Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota Re-
publican, said early in the week he
would campaign in 80 States this
summer and fall in the interest of
the program.
Senator Nye is chairman of the
Senate munitions investigating COM
mittee. The program, he said, would
include:
l. Naturalization of the arms in
dustry.
2. Enlargement of the present en-
barge on the sales of arms to war
ring nations to cover petroleum pro-
ducts.
3. An embargo on both private
and public loans to belligerents.
4. A ''cash and carry" plan for the
sale of American goods to nations at
war.
S. Rigid restrictions on Americans
travelling in war zones.
Nye said he would ask $4,000
600 appropriation to finance the es-
Enlistment of a publicly-owned
arms industry and would sponsor a
constitutional amendment requiring
national referendum to approve
participation in any war.

Textile School
Places All of Its
1886 Graduates

The Textile School of North Caro-
lima State College this year gradu-
ated the largest class in it's history
and every graduate has been placed
in textile position. A large per-
centage of these young men have
been located in North Carolina,
which would seem to indicate that
the textile industry offers North
Carolina boys an opportunity to Sc
cure employment in their own ma
tive state.
DR.. Thomas Nelson, Dean of the
Textile School, stated recently that
he had been unable to supply all the
requests for graduates which came
to him. He said that in his opinion,
the scientific Improvements of re-
cent years in textile machinery, pro-
cesses of manufacturing, and meth
DDS of distribution, made the textile
industry a more fertile field than
ever before for college trained men.
Today State College Textile gradu-
ates are filling responsible positions
in every phase of this great industry
and the demand for graduates of
this institution is steadily increas-
ing.
Some idea of the wide reputation
of this School can be gained by OBJ
serving that during the past year the
homes of its students ranged from
Canada to Mexico and to other for
eign countries.

Peace Among Friends

The recent primary has probably caused
more decided shaking up of family ties and
long standing friendships than anything that
has happened in North Carolina in many years.
We use the word "shaking-up" advisedly since
we hope we have every right to believe that
none of the feeling, which has amounted in some
cases to real bitterness, is permanent.
The foundations of our government is based
first of all on the principle that each man has
right to think and act for himself Out of that
has grown two great parties, believing differ
emily but each sincerely honest in their patriot
ism and love of their country. If the recent pri-
mary has arrayed brother party members
against each other to point past forgiveness,
then, indeed has great damage been done, and
the principles of democratic form of govern
ment in which the majority rules have been de-
feated
If some fifty thousand Democrats in North
Carolina have expressed preference for Clyde
R. Hoey instead of DR.. Ralph Mcdonald those
who feel they have chosen wrongly should be
ready to abide by the rules set down and line
up behind the high man with ill-feelings for
gotten and peace with their fellow-man upper

CHRISTIAN CHAUTAUQUA
TENT BURNED ON SUNDAY
(REPORTED)

One of the two Christian Chautau-
qua tents in use in the county lay
in ashes and ruins on the lot in jeff
erson as result of some law break
ing, Sabbath breaking boys with
their firecrackers. Shortly after one
o'clock on Sunday group of boys
not remembering the Sabbath to
keep it holy gathered there and
within few minutes the tent was in
mass of flames. The top and much
of the sidewan was completely
ruined. But for the quick and cou-
rageous work of a group of citizens
all of the folding chairs would have
been burned. The loss is estimated at
more than $4,000.
The tent was ready for the Bible
school which began on Monday. The
work is proceeding according to
schedule in the home known as the
mill house."
Within two weeks the tent will be
needed for the Chautauqua at Lam

Crisson Begins to
Study of Campaign
Both Republican and Democratic
Candidates Are Veterans
in Political Game

Two veterans at the game of poll
tics began Monday to lay plans for
an intensive fight this fall for the
governorship of North Carolina, but
the Democrat, Clyde r. Hoey of
Shelby, held the advantage.
Gillian Grissom, of Raleigh, the
Republican nominee, can point back
to almost as much Republican party
service as Hoey can in the Demo-
cratic party, but the Republicans
have been on the minority side in
statewide politics since 1900.
Grissom, at his State headquarters
in a Raleigh hotel, smilingly declin-
ed to comment on the nomination of
Hoey except to say letters had
written before Saturday show I es-
timated just about right on what
would happen. I had expected it,
based on past votes"
eve will make our campaign just
as intensive as we can," Grissom
commented. "Our State chairman
w. c. Meekins of Hendersonville,
and our 100 county chairmen are my
managers, which makes 101 man.
ayers and gives me an organization
in each county"
Hoey, chosen in Saturdays pri-
mary by some $4,000 majority, was
at his home in Shelby. His campaign
plans will take shape shortly when
he selects the man he wants to be
State Democratic chairman. J. W.
Winborne of Marion is chairman
now, the choice of Governor Ehring-
haus.
Hoey at % already had started
campaigning in the State for his

What Farming Pays Best?
PROGRESSIVE FARMER)

PROGRESSIVE FARMER)
No truer words about agriculture have ever
been written than these:
Study it when and where you will, and you
will find this true in the long run: The farmer
who farms first of all to have good farm and
make a good living makes good living and
some money too. But the farmer who makes it
matter of farming only to make money makes
neither money nor living"
Seek we first the kingdom" said the Master,
."and all these things shall be added unto you"
So we may say that in farming the farmer who
seeks first of all to make farm and a home of
which he and his children can be proud-all
these other things shall be added unto him. In
other words, the man who aims first at good
farm and good living on the farm usually nets
the most cash also.

REYNOLDS ESTATE PAYS
LARGEST INHERITANCE TAX

A check for $2,O15,OOO in payment
of inheritance taxes on the estate Of
Zachary Smith Reynolds of Win
ston-Salem was received by State
Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell
Wednesday.
The sum was the largest ever paid
the State as an inheritance tax and
the second largest tax payment ever
made to the State at one time.
It was exceeded only by the in
come tax check of $2,140,000 from
the R. j. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany in 1888.
