The capture of the American
steamship City of Flint, which
was taken to Murmansk by a
German prize crew after being
seized by a Nazi warcraft, illus
trates the dangers which will re-
suit from the presence of Ameri-
can ships in combat, areas.
The City of Flint, it appears,
carried a cargo which was con-
sidered contraband, and hence,
according to legal authorities,
was subject to seizure. Whether
the German prize crew had the
legal right to carry their captive
into a neutral port is question
able but some nations permit
such acts.
1t should be understood that
the City of Flint was proceeding
in accordance with the law of
this country in transporting its
cargo to Great Britain. However,
under the terms of the amended
neutrality bill, such cargoes can
not be carried to belligerent ports
| in American ships. Thus, when
the neutrality bill becomes eff
fective, it will not be possible for
American ships to be captured
under similar circumstances as
the City of Flint and diplomatic
issues will not arise from this
cause.
So far, the effect of the war in
Europe upon the United States
has not been what was expected
before the struggle began. In the
months preceding the outbreak of
war there was general consterna-
ton over the possible damage
and destruction to be wrought
by air fleets. 1t was assumed
that hostilities on an immense
scale would usher in the con-
flict. This has not occurred and
the war has continued to be a
very cautious affair.
One important result of this
difference in the actual conflict
and what Americans thought the
conflict would be is a changed
opinion as to the likelihood of
this country becoming involved.
With Great Britain and France
arrayed against Germany, the
prevalent opinion is that the AL
lies will win. This removes the
feeling that participation by this
country is necessary to save
civilization or to protect this
country from the consequences
of German victory. So long as
public opinion here retains the
belief that the Allies will win,
there will be less chances of the
United States becoming involved.
Another interesting effect has
been, so far, a failure to develop
anything like general war boom
in this country. While it is true
! that there has been a quickened

Last week, the Wages and
Hours Act ended its first year of
regulation of wages and hours Of
workers in interstate commerce.
Consequently, in accordance with
the terms of the Act, working
hours were reduced from forty
four to forty-two week and the
minimum hourly wage was adj
vanced from twenty-five to thirty
cents an hour. It is estimated
that 1888, 500 workers were af-
fected by the reduced hours and
that some 100000 benefited from
the increased wage rate.

BY HUGO SIMS Special Washington CORRESPONDENT of The Cxs
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-10-31

The changes made in the wages
and hours represent the first step
in achieving the goal of the law,
which now affects more than
twelve million workers. This
means that on October gath, I94o,
the forty-hour week becomes eff
fective and that five years later,
all workers engaged in inter
state commerce must be raised
up to a minimum of forty cents
an hour.
Renewed discussion of the pos
sibility that President Roosevelt
will have a third term followed
the statement of Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace that the
country needed the talents and
training of the President in the
handling of questions, foreign
and domestic. So far. of course,
the Chief Executive has kept his
silence. There can be little
doubt as to the fact that the war
in Europe has increased the
Presidents prestige in this coun-
try and, probably. the possibility
that he will be named by this
party for a third term. While no
one can intelligently forecast the
future, it seems reasonable that
if the United States is at peace
next year and if there are threat.
ening clouds on the international
relations horizon of this country,
Mr.. Roosevelt will have to be
reckoned with.

SIS Given To Band Fund
Sponsored By Dispatch
$1,000 Needed To Send High School Group to
Worlds Fair June 10; Public Asked To Send
In Contributions Immediately

A S25 voluntary donation to the
fund to take the Henderson high
school band to the New York Worlds
Fair June 10 for the celebration of
North Carolina Day at the fair was
sent to the Daily Dispatch today by
NJ Y. Cooper, prominent Henderson
merchant, with the request that the
Dispatch sponsor a movement to the
raising of the funds necessary.
The Dispatch opens its columns for
the receipt of such funds, and will
make public acknowledgment OF all
such funds given 1t is understood
that about $1,000 is still needed.
A concert was given by the band
in the Henderson high school au-
ditorium last Monday night, the net
proceeds to go to the fund for the
New York trip. The total fell miser-
ably short of the amount needed, and
there was every indication that the
trip would fall through unless pri-
vate contributions are sufficient to
assure it.
Enthusiasts of the band are con-
fident the community can raise all
the money necessary to send the
band to the fair if it desires to do So.
So far as the funds this newspaper
is raising are concerned, they must
be sent to the newspaper, and should

REVIVAL SERVICES
IN HOLINESS CHURCH

A series of revival services has
been in progress at the Penticostal
Holiness church at South Henderson,
for the past three weeks, in charge
of Rev. c. E. Brim. The meeting is
said to have been very successful.
Wednesday evenings sermon sub
ject was taken from Psalms 90:3,
''Thou turnest man to destruction and
sayest return We children of men"
Mr.. Brim preached very inspira-
tional sermon, beginning with an &C
count of the fall of Adam, because
Eve had listened to temptation. He
went on to say that the only true
life is the Christian one, and that
those who have "set their hearts on
wrong things" must turn back to
God, and go His way.
Mr.. Brim made very earnest plea
for those in the congregation to re-
turn to Gods ways, and to live a
righteous life.

CONFERENCE TO BE

Last Quarterly Conference
for Charge Before Meth

The last Quarterly Conference for
Middleburg Methodist Episcopal
charge before the consummatiOn of

Drewry Methodist church Sunday
afternoon at o'clock, at which time
Rev. j. H. Barnhardt will preach and
conduct the business session.
The Uniting Conference for the
three branches of Methodism will
convene in Kansas City on April
no longer be Methodist Episcopal
church, South, but simply the Meth
OdiSt church.
At the quarterly conference sew
eral items of unusual interest will be
acted and reported upon. A report
will be made of the recent effort for
the Orphanage in which a consider
able sum was raised for that institu-
ton. The progress of the young peo-
pies work in the charge will also
receive attention, a cause that has
been making considerable progress
recently. Reports of the missionary
societies will be made, three of which.
have been organized during the past
three years, and which are doing
fine work. Stewards of the five
churches in the charge will make
their reports. Sunday schools will
report any significant things that
they have accomplished.
All stewards, trustees, lay leaders,
Sunday school superintendents, mis-
sionary society presidents, Golden
Cross directors, and missionary COM
mittees, are all members Of the con-
ference. 1t is hoped that there will be
a full attendance.

will be returned to the donors. All
receipts will be acknowledged
through the paper.
Mr.. COoper's letter today is repro
duced here in the hope it may be the
means of inspiring sufficient contri-
buttons to make the band trip pos
sible. 1t follows:
Il understand that the Henderson
High School Land needs about ST 900
in addition to money raised by con-
cert and donations made by parents
to take the trip to New York. In
my opinion, Mr. Hearne and the
members OF the band have done
more to advertise the town than any
thing that has been done here in a
number of years. In view of this, l
would like to pay the expenses of
one member of the band to New
York, and therefore, l am enclos-
ting, herewith, check for $25 to
cover same.
knowing that the Henderson
Daily Dispatch is interested in the
growth and progress of Henderson,
1 am suggesting that you foster a
campaign to raise the necessary ST.
900 needed by the band from the
business people of Henderson and
other people interested in the prog
ress and growth of Henderson. You
will probably hear some people say
"Why don't the parents Of these
children send their children to New
YGrk?" But, you must remember,
some of these children's parents are
not able to pay for the trip, as they
have already had to buy the instru-
ments and pay for the music lessons,
SC as to train these children to be
members OF the band. And, in the
case Of some parents, there are one
or more children in the band and it
has been a right heavy expense to
them to furnish instruments and les
IONS to their children.
after all, all the people in the
city Of Henderson have gotten the
benefit Of the advertisement given
The city by the band and therefore,
as a civic enterprise, feel that it is
up to the people in Henderson, who
re interested in the growth and
progress Of our city, to send this
band to the Worlds Fair, so that
they may further advertise our town
and city to the people of the world
please be assured that this is Just
a suggestion of mine and if you
think well of it, would be glad for
you to go ahead with the campaign"
