Bruce Cation Says:
: People Should Have Last Word on War

Divided on almost everything
else, members of the present Con-
gress seem to be agreed on one
thing: that above everything else
the American people want to stay
out of any and all wars that may
come over the horizon.
In this congressman undoubtedly
reflect the wishes of their consti-
tuents. No one can doubt that
the people of this country want
peace. War may start overnight in
almost any part of the world; If
public sentiment means anything,
this country will stay out if it be
humanity possible.
But the peace-loving people OF
the United States might as well
understand one thing. Under ex-
listing laws, they can be taken into
war against their own will, and
they can do nothing about it but
take it and like it.
In the first place, any President
can, if he wishes, lnaneuver the
country into a spot where war be-
comes practically inevitable. Will
son did it, unintentionally, in the
World War; any succeeding Presi-
dent could do the same.
In the second place, it is Con-
gress that declares war. Susceptible
to pressure of all kinds, Congress
might conceivalby declare war
when a majority of the people did
not want war. 1t is still an open
question, for instance, whether a
majority Of Americans wanted to

Whether or not a specially de-
signed stamp will be issued for the
affair will not be known until Of
ficially released by the Post Of

plies to the denomination and the
size of the sheet.
Subject Matter
There is the possibility that
some particular event relative to
the State of North Carolina may
be the subject matter for design,
and then again, some national
event may be the topic of design
for the special sheet.
A commemorative to "Old Iron
sides" may be used, although one
guess is as good as another as far
as the Post Office plans are con-
cerned.
1t is known, however, that the
officials of the Post Office are
friendly to an "Old IronsideS"
stamp, and it may be at this time
that such a stamp may come to
be.

mir sheet marks the seventh time

Slight Flaw Causes
Value 10 Increase

Hardly had the new George VI
postage stamps Of the Dominion
of Canada made their appearance
month ago, than it was discov-
cred by a Montreal philatelist,
Henry De La Barre, that a flaw
had been found in the three-cent
denomination of the issue.
OF the 10000 copies of this stamp
sold through the post office at
Montreal, 100 had a slight blur on
the left side of the facsimile Of
the new kings head.
The blur is believed to have been
caused by a small piece of metal
on the plate. It disappeared from
the later issues of the stamps, ap-
parently after the plates had been
wiped.
According to Mr.. Barre, the
stamps showing the flaw will soon
be worth a tidy sum. The present
value is about S. per copy. Natur-
ally this plate variety will increase
in value with each ensuing year.
