of future economic policies, rela-
tons after the war is ended, and the
spread or control of the menace of

The South, the study shows, has a
bigger stake in our Far Eastern trade
than any other section of the United
States. American trade with China
and Japan is based upon the export
OF two Southern products; raw cot
ton 1888 million IN 1866 is eX-
changed for Japanese silk: and leaf
tobacco Csc million in 1850 in ex-
change for Chinese tung oil
lhe repercussions of the Far East
en- conflict, the Council points out,
Fave necessitated essential shifts
in trade by China and Japan, and
the United States. A new yarn IS
being developed in the United States
which may eventually eliminate the
American market for pure silk from
Japan. Already, Japan is shifting
her purchases of cotton from the
United States to such countries as
India and Brazil. Ultimately she
plans to raise her own cotton in
Nanchuria and South China
"Japan'S purchases of raw cotton"
the bulletin says, provide employ
nent for about $4,000 persons in
the United States. Considering their
families this affects 1,75000O per-
sons out of the 100000 people in
the South who are directly inter-
Csted in cotton production. Thous-
ands of American workers are en-
poyed in the silk mills which i'm
port their raw silk from Japan. In
Japan 100000 operators are en-
ployed by cotton mills which, to
large extent, use Southern cotton"
United States manufacturers have

Waterproofing materials, and other

Covering a remarkably wide field
in astoniShingly short time, the Chat
ham notable expressed his views on
almost innumerable subjects.
The WPA personnel will have a
negligible effect on the voting in
North Carolina. "They're too slow
and there's only one day for voting.
The WPA workers will never get to
the polls, he cracked.
And there should be pension for
everybody, in the Siler opinion: "The
old folks because they need it; the
young people because they havn't
had chance to accumulate anything
and the middle aged because they
will have to bear the burden of pen
sions for all the rest"
His opinion of the historical mark
ers put up over the State doesn't
flatter DR.. C. c., Crittenden, of the
Historical Commission, and the 9TH
ers responsible for the legends: d
"Down our way, for instance,
there's a marker for the Southern
boundary of the Lord GRANVILLE
grant, he said Nov the only trou-
BILE with that is there never was ANY
Lord Granville grant and the boun-
Diary of the land Lord Granville did
own is just eighteen miles south of
the marker.
The Judge thinks maybe he'll run
for the 1941 General Assembly so
that II can invite them to hold a one
day session at Haywood, which came
within one vote of being the State
capital, and another days session at
Bennett, the geographic center of
North Carolina"
He got over to "reminiscences of his
long legal career and told of the
prospective client who came into the
office bewai1ing the fact that some
body had framed him.
somebody planted liquor in my
car. While I was in the barber shop
he slipped some whisky in it, and
the law found it and they've broken
up the whisky, impounded my car
and arrested me-, said the p. c.
"How much whisky did they get?"
queried Siler.
ooh, just 81 gallons, said the
client
"My, my! That fellow sure hated
you lot" commented the judge.
Then he told of the old chap who
came in and wanted to annul mar
riage.
"How long since you got hitched?''
asked Judge Siler.
"Thirty-nine years" was the an
swer.
''Now look here, Bill, you know
you can't get any annulment of a
wedding that took place that long
ago., admonished Mr.. S. "How can
Z you expect that?"
"Well, just found out last night
that my father-in-law never did have
a hunting license, ard SO he didn't
'have any right to carry that damn
shotgun"

Bankers And
Lions Victors
