conference with President Roosevelt
today he expected the Senate to ap-
prove late this afternoon legislation
restoring the administration dollar
devaluation and currently stabilize
ton powers.
A vote on the measure was sche-
duled for 5 p. M, the hour having
been fixed early Saturday morning
after a coalition of Republicans and
some Democrats had filibusted it be-
yond Friday night, when the none
tary powers expired with the end OF
the fiscal year.
Administration leaders contended
that, although the legislation origin
ally was drawn to extend the pow
ers before they died, approval now
would have the effect Of restoring

Bent upon getting this legislation
approved, and also undertaking to
have the Senate pass administration

Raleigh, July 5.-The pedestrian,
quite a curious creature IN many
respects, is a major headache in
North Cardinals traffic situation,
according to statistics of the High
way Safety Division and in the opln-

findings Of the National Safety Coun-
Gil, organization which probes the
safety problem from all angles.
He is at one and the same time

child of traffic He has been neg
lected, but he also has been pamp-
cred and spoiled, reported the
council in a national release. Mr.. Ho-
cult might not want to be quoted
personally in as strong language,
but the facts of North Carolina traf-
fic fatalities and injuries last year,
and so far this year, for that matter
appear to be so closely in conform
ity with the National Councils
rafting that he scarcely needs to be
quoted at all.
In the nation, for instance, rough
1y three out of every five persons
killed in traffic accidents in cities
were pedestrians. North Carolina,
with few dense urban centers, didn't
quite reach that so per cent, but OF
traffic deaths within its Incorporated
units, SO were of pedestrians against
85 among occupants of vehicles, Civ
ing a So plus percentage Of pedes-
trian deaths out of all city and town
fatalities. Not only that, but TAG
pedestrians were injured in cities

Democratic leaders strategy for

bill was improved, it would not
legally restore to the executive
authority to devalue the dollar
or power to operate the $2,0OO,-

NEUTRALITY AND PROPAGANDA

The proposed change of the Neu-
traity Act has released a food of pro-
paganda which is definitely home
brewed. The burden of it all is that
we must keep out of the European
War. Much of it is motivated by a
spirit of genuine love of America and
American institutions. Leaders of
public thought, mothers whose sons
may become cannon fodder, are very
urgently demanding that the Neutral
lty Act remain exactly as it is. AL
though offering no argument, they
express fears that any change in the
present neutrality provisions is fate
full step leading to the crater Of war.
Whatever befalls, it is good to be
treasured that in spite of continual
vicious assaults upon our democracy
both from without and within, abund-
ant faith in the democratic American
way of life remains strong and unyield-
ing among the vast majority of
American citizens. They want no part
IN the European squabble. They are
positive on that score. But this does
not mean that American character has
softened and disintegrated through de-
votiOn to the arts of peace. ANY
foreign nation who misinterprets
American love for peace as euphony
for weakness is certain to find Ameri-
can manhood and womanhood fully
prepared and ardently willing to resist
any inroad upon American sovereign
ity.
Though loyalty to the United States
plainly marks most of the current do
nestle war comment, it is equally
clear that some Of the protestations
against the new neutrality proposals
are spurious, motivated not by allegi-
ance to America but by allegiance to
Germany. Unquestionably there are
groups here who would like to see a
Nazi triumph over the Allies. Openly
the German Bund supports Hitler.
This alien group is aided and abetted
by other adherents of fascism, and
together they form a minority that
would find reason to resist any changes
in the Neutrality Act. For, as it stands
now, the neutrality law favors Ger
many and is hurting the Allies. Sym
pathlzers with Germany very naturally
would unctuously assume the livery of
fearful opponents of any change in
the law. Perhaps they are the noisiest
and the most active in picturing the
horrors and terrible expense of war
They will, of course, try to help their
unholy cause by building up popular
conviction that the munitions roval-
lists and the international bankers are
trying to repeat 1917 by inveigling the
United States into another world war
In order that they may reap a huge
harvest of profits. Germans boast of
being past master propagandists. Hit
Ter lately advised British statesmen
that he is able to teach them plenty
they do not know about the art.
Americans have learned to be on
guard against confusing news with
propaganda, During the present
world crisis there will be increasing
need to be watchful
