Wall street is still vociferous in it's support

To Look Ground Over

Financial and trade circles alike will observe
closely the results of the tour about to be un-
dertaken by Warren Lee Pierson, president of
the Export-Import Bank of Washington. Mr..
Pierson is to leave for a round of calls in Latin
America, and it is hardly to be supposed that
he will be welcomed other than with open
arms.
The official bank already has extensive COM
mitments, most of which are known to have
been made carefully. Now pending is the pro-
posal for additional lending authority in the
modest sum of $500, 600. 600. Even Federal
Loan Administrator Jesse H. Jones admitted
that some or all of this money may be lost, il
congress votes the authority.
With such an atmosphere prevalent in Wash
ington, the Latin-Americans doubtless will feel
that gifts, rather than loans, are intended by
Uncle Sam. Mr.. Pierson, fortunately, is known
to hold sounder views, and it will be interest
ing to note the consequences of the loan dis
cussi9ps.

Tempus Fugit

With these two words, time flies" Presi-

delayed CONSUMPTION as approved in the house
Of representatives through an amendment to
the draft bill.
It was wasted time that fastened the down
fall of France. But, whereas France had sew
eral years to prepare for a Nazi invasion, the
United States has no means of knowing when
the blow will fall.
French legislators and successive cabinets
refused to recognize Frances peril, and vast
ed time in futile disputes, so that when the
attack came the nation was unprepared to
defend itself and still hoped to repulse a mod
ern enemy with the outworn methods of the
last World war. The folly was discovered too
late. The chance for national survival had
been cast aside.
We are doing the same thing. Fearing that
voters may turn against them in November II

Winter Cover Crops

North Carolinians with a proper regard TOT
conservation and agricultural advancement
will welcome the announcement that cover
the state this year than ever before. This In
formation comes from Gene Knight, assistant
extension editor of North Carolina State Col
lege. Tar Heel farmlands, says Mr.. Knight,
will be dressed in green this winter with the
advantage %accrui1N to the farmers who par
ticipate in the cover-crop program.
There will be compensation, not only through
soil conservation payments, but in increasing
the food and feed supplies on farms. Herds
as well as farm families will benefit. 1t mas
been recognized by farm experts that North
Carolina farmers could vastly improve their
situation by producing live stock as well as
soil crops. Beef and dairy cattle and hogs do
well in this region where winters usually are
''open'' and year-round pasturage is possible.
All that has been lacking was cooperation by
the farmers themselves. Only recently have
many farmers been convinced that they were
passing up an opportunity for major improve
ment in their economic security and turned to
livestock for supplemental revenue.
Southeastern North Carolina, favored as it
is with 12-month grazing, has a tremendous
opportunity in this branch Of farm develop
ment. It is encouraging t. learn, as a trip
through the country in any direction from
Wilmington will reveal to the curious observer,
that many farmers hereabouts are utilizing
their land for all-year production by planting
winter cover crops.

The Crucial Period

The new German raids on Britain with Lon
don the chief objective are generally believed
tho initial step of Hitler's effort to force Brit
ain to surrender before autumn fogs render
flving difficult. 1t is impossible to know II the
fuehrer hopes to so weaken the British ali
force that an invasion may be attempted or
bv bombing london and other large cities SO
terrorize the people that they will no longer
s,,nnort the government and in their own name
sue for peace.
Whatever the chief purpose, it is obvious
that Hitler is putting everything he has into
this phase of the Battle of Britain and stalking
his future on the outcome. The fighting now
going on, therefore,, may be considered the
crucial period of the war. For if Britain out
lasts the attack until bad weather it will cost
Hitler heavily in prestige. Because OF ms IT.
resistible advance on every front he has at
tackled before, it would prove that he is not
all-powerful.
Furthermore, Britain's war program, which
includes invasion of the European ontnenl
early in 1871, would make a major offensive
possible instead of a dream. The months a
check to Hitler now would give Britain to IN
crease her air force and store up supplies and
munitions, tanks, guns, ships and all other I'M
elements of warfare, would be invaluable. BY
spring Britain could be so well prepared Tor
an offensive and so strengthened in spirit by
having halted Hitler IN his tracks now' mat a
British victory would indeed be possible. Also
Britain would be enabled to tighten the block
ade and by cutting down supplies from the out
side world gain further aid from famine, which
is already incubating.
If any of this is to be brought about, it is
imperative that Britain hold out a little longer,
until the fogs come. That she means to do SO
is evident both in the challenge of her Prime
Winston Churchill, to Hitler to do his
worst, and in the heroic attitude of the London
under fire.

SOFTNESS VS.. SURVIVAL
Winston = Salem journal

eff we are to survive, we cannot grow soft
in a world in which there are dangers that
threaten Americans, far more deadly than
those the frontiersmen had to face" President
Roosevelt told the people of America in his
address at Newfound Gap in North Carolina.
That is true. The privileges and advantages
we hold as free Americans are either worth
working for, cooperating for, fighting for, sac
rificing for, or they have been great exag-
gerated in importance and are hardly worth
saving.
In his plea for national unity, the President
sounded a note that should be taken up by all
Americans. While this is a regular political
campaign year and the issues should be pre-
sented as fully as possible to the people. in
such a time as the present we should endeavor
to steer as clear as possible from those things
which divide and disintegrate national patriot
ism and patriotic endeavor.
But there are other fields besides politics in
which disunity may lift its ugly head. There
may be those who think that all appeals for
sacrifices in the name of liberty are addressed
to the other fellow, just as some sanctimonious
folk who attend church think that the dynamic
minister's challenges to higher living and the
practice of the spirit of sacrifice and brotherly
love are aimed only at their neighbors across
the way.
This is far from the truth. If this country
is to preserve the best of the past and lose the
worst of it, everybody has a part to play, a
Job to do, and sacrifices to make. Labor must
perform it's role, the nations youth must enter
the armies, capital must march side by side
with labor.
One thing all of us will do well to remember.
The people who save America in the present
world crisis are the people who are going to
be the leaders of America in the decades to
come. And these will not be the labor strikers,
the slackers or the "softies." !
