THE COTTONSEED HULL PROMOTED
(Asheville Timesl

If successful experiments conducted by the
University of Tennessee Research Corpora
ton continue their course, the words of Direc-
tor Leahy may be fulfilled: he hopes to see
the day when cottonseed will be the chief
product and cotton the by product Of the cotton
plant.
From the cottonseed hulls the corporations
chemists have produced a compound of great
promise as a plastic, back and durable. The
tests indicate it's wide use as sheaves for
textile looms, radio cabinets, automobile and
electrical appliance parts, ash trays and other
articles. If other experiments are successful,
a yarn similar to wool may be spun from
this product formerly used exclusively for
feed and fertilizer.
And so chemical science may yet do more
for cotton farmers than Government aid has
been able to do. The New Deals cotton pro.
grams have sought chiefly to enable the cot
ton growers to hold the line against economic
adversely until a revived world trade or new
uses: for cotton might bring affirmative and
tremendous reinforcement into the struggle,
Now chemistry seems about to arrive on the
field in force.

No Need To Worry

From Detroit comes word that the motor in.
dustry, which currently has more orders than
it can fill and faces special problems connected
with the national defense program, are conf
dent that the situation will not get out Of hand.
Enough cars will be built to meet demand and
construction will not interfere with defense.
Since the start Of the new model season the
manufacturers have been turning out auotmo-
.biles at the rate Of we'll above 100, 600 units a
week. They expect to operate at this level
during November and December. If they do,
a new record will be set for the fourth quarter
although, of course, comparison with fourth
quarters in the years when new models were
introduced in January has no significance. The
important point is that they count on steady
output in the next two months to bring them
abreast with orders.
Consequently the buying public need not get
panicky about a possible shortage of new auto
mobiles. Some purchasers may have to wait
but they need only be patient. Fears that the
defense program will limit the supply are not
justified.
Neither is there any ground for worry over
prospects for next year. While the machine
tool industry will undoubtedly be hard-pressed
because of defense requirements, motor car
makers ;re already assembling tools and dies
for 1912 models and probably will be well
industry is fully engaged with defense work

Emblems Oh Patriotism

In times of great world stress the spirit of
patriotism is stimulated anew because the
threat of disaster impels a greater appreci-
alton of the blessings and privileges we stand
in danger of losing. This was true when our
country was first founded in the days of the
Revolutionary war. 1t was true in 1912 and
during the War Between the States. 1t was
true in 1899 and in 1917. We are experiencing
the same emotional upheaval again today.
Appalling conditions throughout the rest of
the world, by contrast with the peace within
our own borders, make us appreciate how for
tunate we are to be citizens of the United

Editorial Comment
THE APPEAL FOR UNITY
Durhan Herald

The bi-partisan-non-partisan, if you prefer
appeal for unity is, of course, appropriate
and, we hope, effective. 1t is fine, too, that
recognized spokesman of the various factions,
political and economic, which participated &C.
lively in the campaign united in appealing
for unity.
Certain folk who worked up quite a lather
during the campaign, without knowing exactly
why or how, need to get their feet back on
the ground and their emotions back under con-
troll. The unity bonfires" and lets forget
and accept" nationwide appeals give them a
good excuse to do that.
There is the protruding fact, however, that
the American people as a whole are much
nearer on the issues most discussed during
the ca~mpaign-foreign policy, domestic re-
forms, etc.-than the tabulated vote indicates,
and the real problem of rebuilding national
unity is primarily one of persuading a rela-
lively small minority to put aside resentment,
cleanse their minds of bitterness, and accept
actualities.
Numerically, the vast majority of Willkie
supporters believe as the vast majority OF
Roosevelt supporters in matters of foreign af-
fairs and New Deal reforms already reduced
to statutes. That is one of the big reasons why
Mr.. Willkie had such a hard time whipping
up a campaign theme song and why he finally
conferred his fire around the third-term issue
and hummed incessantly: Il favor more aid
to Britain and to China and can give it better
than Mr.. Roosevelt can, and l can do so with
out leading the country into war, where Mr..
Roosevelt may lead us into war"
A great many of Mr.. Wilkes listeners were
confirmed Roosevelt supporters to start witt
and a great many others, we think, knew Mr..
Willkie talked through his hat when he said
he could do what Mr.. Roosevelt was doing and
avoid the risks so doing those things entail
So, without necessarily disliking Mr.. Willkie,
they tossed aside his talk and voted for Mr..
Roosevelt.
A great many others. of course, simply de
not care for the extension of Governmental in
tervention in almost every field that has taken
place under Roosevelt, hold him responsible
for it, and dislike him for that reason.
1t is that group, we think, that constitutes
the nearest there is to a real barrier to the
national unity all hands now appeal for. Ane
it is simply stating the truth to say that the
only way a unity participated in by that group
can be had is for that group to examine its at
titude and change its mind. For forces beyone
control of any President or any Congress:
have worked, and are working, to enlarge tn
scope of Governmental Intervention in the
field of private endeavor.

Make Tolerance The keynote

The time is ripe for last reflection on the
its outcome impose on the President.
By the votes of a majority of the Amerl-
can people a President of the United States
has been elected to a third consecutive term
for the first time in the history of the nation.
That decision has been reached in a time OF
crisis; it has produced another crisis OF us
own.
For in giving Franklin Delano Roosevelt
this unprecedented honor the people have
placed in his hands a solemn trust and they
have set upon his shoulders a grave response
bility and a SOLDERING ask. That is the Job OF
restoring to this country the sense OF unity
which alone can make and keep it strong.
Incorporate spokesman for both sides have
been to blame for the bitter divisions winch
sprung up among the American people dur
ing the campaign. These wounds must now
he healed. Losers must accept the verdict as
sood snortsmen: victors must show that they
know what magnimity means.
This responsibility rests more heavily upon
Mr.. Roosevelt than upon any other single man.
It must be his first concern to weld an undl-
vided front and gain the cooperation and con-
fidence of all Americans, whatever their po-
litical faith.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt is to accomplish this, and
we believe that he will, he can never afford
to forget that he is, first Of all, the leader of
a nation, and only secondarily the head of a
political party. He cannot take. and we are
sure that he will not take, his election as a
mandate to over look the wishes OF the MIL
lions of people who opposed him at the polls.
He cannot, and we believe he will not, seek
political reprisals. He must overcome, as a
president only can overcome, the last trace
of the vindictiveness which sometimes bred
mistrust and suspicion Of his motives in the
past.
For the full significance of this election lies
not alone in the victory that Mr.. Roosevelt has
won nor in the huge electoral majority he
has compiled. 1t is to be found also in the
great mass OF loyal, patriotic Americans
nearly one-hah of the entire electorate-who
Joined in the Republican crusade, who be-
lieved in the principles his opponent espoused,
who voted for him because they were deeply
concerned over some of the paths which Mr..
Roosevelt has followed in the last eight years.
Their vote is the authentic voice of a great
body of Americans just as was the vote Of
the men and women who elected Mr.. Roose-
welt to a third term. Only by remembering
their hopes, their aspirations, their concerns
rs well as those Of his own following, can
franklin D. Roosevelt become the truly great
president Of a united nation. Because OF the
unique position he now occupies, and be-
cause he has grown with his task, we conf
IDENTIFY believe that he will measure up to the
task that confronts him.

THE SILVER LINING
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Muskrats, terrapins and high
water have put the tang and tonic
deep into TONERS Creek. We Ia
ment the fact that our city water
has thus changed its chemistry.
But there is a silver lining to
every cloud. Next to a gold re-
serve, or a tobacco monopoly, gov
eminent control of the salt sup
ply is its most valuable asset. 1t
provided the last turn of the screw
in taxation. Human beings, cattle
and even crops have to get it or
perish.
If Battle Creek, Miami, Los
Angeles or DR.. Brinkley had Toom-
er's Creek, pilgrims and tourists
would be flocking to Wilmington by
the thousands, eve as to Lourdes,
Carlsbad, Saratoga or French
Lick. There are millions of people
in the world too lazy to put salt
in their own water who will travel
hundreds of miles to get a sGlt
bath or pay good money for il
for a mouth wash.
Atlantic City has spent hundreds
of thousands in doing what the
rodents have done for us. Think
of a city of thirty thousands, rich
and poor, able to take a salt BATH
by simply turning a spigot. I.
every citizen of Wilmington woulc
drink a glass of warm Toolner's
Creek water, adding a little more
salt, take a bath and walk fol
fifteen minutes on an empty stom'
ach (anybody's stomach) with g
rest of a few minutes after lunch
it would probably be the healthies'
city in the U. S. Half the doctors
and druggists would be running
cures. We would save enough or
Pluto water, Sal Hepatica, mouth
wash kidney pills and %antiseptics
to pay the interest on a new bond
issue.
This little touch of nature has
made our whole town kin. The
discussion of our common i'll, OF
maybe a blessing in disguise, has
brought about a comradery, unity
and the meetings at the pump and
spigot have been social gatherings
of high import.
The spirit of self help, neighbor.
illness and relief from boredom Of
thousands is the bright side of the
picture or the silver lining which
we are too prone to overlook.
