Count POtOcki's Belt

TOUNT JERRY POTOCKI, Polish Ambassador to the
~ United States has developed interesting eastern
European peace theory in the form of neutral belt to
stretch from the Baltic to the Black Sea- It's links-sub-
sttuting chain for His ExcelencyS belt-are to be
Finland Esthonia, Latva, Lithuania, Poland and
Rumana.
1t sounds good-particuarly when conveyed to you in
the convincing tones of the young ambassador. One
gathers from His Excellency distinct impression that
he really believes in the efficiency of his belt chain
that there has to flower Sixteenth Street another
Wilsonian idealist
Woodrow Wilson the main inspiration for the
state of Czechosovaka He thought it would serve as
Middle European peacebuffer Instead its potentia-
ties the storm center increase with every day that
passes
But Count Potoc the neutral belt idealist becomes
Count Potoc the materast when he faces the results
of wisconsin in middle Europe.
Poland he Declares will not interfere with Hitler IF
he decides to march Prague. That means there will
be no objection from Poland WHEN Germanys present
po1unJ LUou,t war lord moves to stretch the from
tier of his country to within eighty
Hat the March miles of Russia
There if he succeeds in his new SNATCH Der Fuehrer
will be slap up against the Potocki neutral belt hop
skip and jump from the wheat fields of the Ukraine
The splendid Polish army will not-accordng to His
Excellency-raise single rifle to halt very possible
German conquest and the consequent formation OF a
spearhead The only logical conclusion therefore, is that
when Germany fights Russia that splendid Polish army
will be found on Hitlers side.
And then bang will go the Potoci dealism! His Ex-
celency be counted to draw his sword and add
other aures to those he has already gathered on the
battlefield AS to cause what patriot could ask for
better one? If Russia seeks to halt the rape of Czecho
slovaka she will have to get the Potock neutral
belt at the southern tip of Poland.
That part of the belt destined to become the No
Mans Land of the next great war.

"'BOmbshell" From F. D. r.

WYE READ the New York Herald Tribune editorials
w with great interest-with more interest," indeed,
than read lot of pro-New Deal writings, because
the Herald Trbune's antiNew Deal editorials stir
emotions. We doubt that the Herald Tribunes edi-
~, torias from year to year convert one pro-
New Dealer into an ant-New Dealer.
h0"O''0' But they do satisfy the feelings of Herald
Tribune readers who hate Roosevelt and all his works
We also read our own editorials with considerable in
terest and we likewise doubt that they convert
anti-New Dealer into a pro-New Dealer But they

Roosevelt and most Of what he does and says.
By this time we should think, Herald Tribune edi-
toria readers must be pretty we'll confined to ardent
ant-New Dealers while News editorials must be read
mainly by enthusiastic proNew Dealers since non,pro

opinions they like and ignore opinions they don't like
Well anyway, we read President Roosevelts speech
at Gainesville Ga reported in yesterday mornings
papers.
To us, the speech seemed to be made up of a lot of
takenfor granted things The President said what Henry
~, o. Ford said along about 1914 about
"" 1'".T"'' wages-that the way to sustain the
OS E'e0'"e"" American home market is to pay
the help good wages that buy the things it pro-
duces He went to say what economists and analysts
have said for decades-that buying power down
South is low and is kept low by shortsghted industrial
s and that this is basic for Southern poverty
and ignorance.
He came out again for wage-hour law to put floor
under wages and a ceiling working hours
way of sustaining buying power; and he scored
Southern and other leaders and lawmakers who oppose
such legislation The President might have copied this
part of his speech from the 193334 remarks of Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson who, NRA chief liked the Admins
tration but who night before last appeared at damn
Roosevelt meeting on the platform with Alexander
Kerensky, another gentleman who has not been quite
1907 success in politics.

expected to fight tooth and toe

the "wages" Of its members.
Judging from what I can read
in the newspapers the Group
Health people are perfectly will
ing to battle the medical society
on any ground which does not
endanger the health Of District
citizens.
But the medical society has
chosen to fight Group Health
Association with the lives and
well being of District citizens as
its weapons.
Such tactics can only result
in a revulsion Of feeling against
the medical society and in
creased and enthusiastic support
of such organizations as Group
Health.

Labor and FasciSr11

I can tell you why the British
Labor Party leaders favor An
thony Eden and oppose Cham
berlain. British labor knows that
labor would suffer most under
faSciSm, and fears the would-be
war lords, Hitler and MuSSolini.
Labor also knows that it would
do the fighting in any war. If
Hitler is allowed to go ahead as
he is going, the so-called democ-
racies will never be able to stop
the spread Of fascism.
British labor is also aware
that its own government is not
so much a democracy as q hy-
pocrisy. H. F.

Houu to Keep Peace

The best peace argument to
date comes from the pen Of
Aubrey J. Carpenter, q free
lance writer. Here is an excerpt
from his essay entitled "There
Is No Peace On Earth"
"All men in. their normal
minds fear death, but only q
few are concerned with the re-
suit after death. There 10 no
peace on earth. never was and
never will be. Peace Is found
only in death. The nearest we
can come to peace is to be as
strong as our neighbor, spiritual
ly, mentally, materially and
physically; or, on the contrary,
for all to be lacking Of these
attributes. Who denies this?
"As long as there Is hope
there is life; as long as there
is life there is a battle. Peace
must come first from within.
It is a personal problem and
not q governmental issue. A
government is no stronger than
its weakest subject.
Peace by force Of arms is
only temporary and increases
the hatred of the victim. When
the victim gains enough
strength there is rebellion.
And so the wheel Of war
turns. There is no end. Total
reduction Of arms " q probable
soIution. Death an absolute"

But, outside Parlor Games,
most nations value women for
their wit, charm, subtlety and in

Here, they must be Glamour

I remember my amazemeut
when this fact first crashed into
my personal program. 1t was
my fortieth birthday-and I
was late with my articles.
Having noted that some of the
sisters were considerably coy
when it comes to calendars, I
thought that Fortieth Birthdays
might make swell copy. Where
upon I sat me down and began
to kid The Ladies about their
ages.

ter? Who gives a hoot, darling,

you probably never looked like

And so on and on into all the
tragic details. Hysterical? Yes.

truth. For these decent, intellt-
gent, hard-working women were
telling me Straight Facts. They
were. giving me the Low Down

'The memory of the Valley the Matanuska Valley-will al- ways pull at the heartstrings of one who knew it before the col onization,' says Churchill Fish CT in Their Sun Still Rises" one of the articles in the July num- Der of The Alaska Sportsman, just issued.
 She says, This is not altogeth- CT because of the beauty of the place. It is also for the reason that the Valley was one of the spots where the bone fide old timers were found,the genuine pioneer stock of which Alaska must always be so proud, not only for the fortitude with which they met their sufferings, but for their incorruptible honor. It is a type of humanity never to be re- placed"
 Miss Churchill also tells of some of the activities of the Val ley in the old days, the spirit of cooperation and helpfulness among the settlers, and the hard ships they endured without com- plaint.

Livestock Market
Be Established
Here On August A
Edison Thomas And Walter
Stringer To Operate Ashes
First Market.
RENT STOCKYARDS

Ashe county will soon have its
first livestock market, according to
information obtained here this week
Edison M. Thomas, Walter String
err and Lester Segraves are now
making plans to open West JEFF
ferson Livestock Market here on
Thursday. August 4. z
They have already rented the gov
eminent stockyard here and propose
to conduct a sale every Thursday
Messrs. Thomas and Stringer will
be actively in charge of its opera
ton.
They propose to sell all kinds OF
cattle at auction and collect and pay
for all cattle sold on the market
The stockyard is a splendid place in
which to hold these sales and it is
believed that the venture will be a
success.
All three of these men are well
known throughout this county and
section. They are all good business
men, have farms of their own on
which cattle are raised and Messrs
Thomas and Stringer have had lot
of experience buying and selling
livestock, as well as in raising cat
tie. Mr.. Thomas operates one of the
finest cattle farms in the county at
Grassy Creek and Mr. Stringer has a
been a cattle dealer for years. Mr.
Segraves owns farm and is cashier
of The First National Bank here.
Ashe is one of the largest cattle
raising counties in the state and it
is only logical and natural that it
should have a livestock market.
