Governor Clyde Hoey is going to
become a veritable commuter be-
tween North Carolina and New York
next month.
On the 18th he must be in the
worlds largest city to attend a din
ner of the North Carolina Society,
to mark the eve of North Carolina
day at the Worlds Fair.
Then just about time His Excel
lency has had time to Gct back here,
he will set out again in time to make
the opening address at the national
convention of the Woodmen of the

of the 26th. Then the governor will

Assistant Attorney General T.
Wade Bruton was asked recently to
interpret the revenue act sections re-
garding peddlers and their taxes 1t
appears that these sections are likely
to cause as much confusion locally
as the famed Section 1870, which
started the slots rolling. In ruling on
the section, Mr.. Bruton prefaced his
opinion with the remark that on first
reading his ''first impression was
that it is contradictory and conflict
ing"
After much .cogitation, however, he
delivered himself of an opinion which
indicates that the legislature did a
whole lot of classifying of "peddlers''
that it probably did intend to do, and
probably doesn't know it did do.

To Turn Maginot Line Flank.
It is not only as bases of opera
tions for submarines and bombing
planes that Hitler seeks a foothold
in the Netherlands. Once his troops
dominated the low country they
would be able to wheel south, over
whelm Belgium and turn the vest
ern flank of the Maginot Line. That
would be Brauchitsch's grand STRAIT
egy. To state it is not to say out
right that it could or would succeed.
The Dutch are capable of holding up
a German invasion as stubbornly--
perhaps because of their defensive
dikes even more successfully-than
the Belgians delayed the Kalser's

Could Allies Move in Time?
The big question is could Britain

Gamelin and Gort with opportunity
to evolve and expand defensive
plans and mobilize in force, by land,
sea and air, to ward of any blitz-
krieg offensive against the Dutch
and the Belgians. The Paris and
London general stats know that
Britain and France primarily, and
only the Netherlands and Belgium
secondarily, are the objects of the
threats now hanging over the heads
Of the Reich's small western neigh
bors. Berlin has sent reassuring
messages to The Hague and Brus-
