A Break for Tobacco

First reports on opening prices in
the Border Belt tobacco markets in
dictate that the further north the
selling season moves the better the
prices become. That may De due to
better preparation OF the leaf for
the auction floors. OF it may De be-
cause quality is more desirable. IN
any event, i is good news for grow
erS and business people in this sec
ton.
Recent sales in the south Georgia
belt have not been as satisfactory
as were the first weeks business, but
this year as Tor several seasons past
i would appear that better grades
have been offered first TO be follow
ed by inferior quality. In or sec
tion and in the eastern Carolina ter
ritory the procedure is largely the
reverse. the poor grades coming at
the outset. and quality rising there
after.
Whether operating for the. ~
company or for government suppo-t
of the market. it is heartening that
British buyers are on sales every
where as usual That is definite
stimulus for prices. and though the
government cannot indefinitely con-
tinue the policy Of accommodating sur
pluSes. the excess can in a meas
we be adjusted by controlled pro-
duction. which has been authorized
by growers for three more years ait
er this one.
Trends III the belts now in operc-
ton justify greater optimism than
existed before the selling season DE-
gan. but the next few days will see
a more accurate guaging Of what
may be expected for the season as a
whole. We believe. however, that
growers may take heart and that
business can prepare for more sat
iSfactUry autumn and winter trade
than has hitherto been anticipated
Price levels already are sufficient
to demonstrate that there will be Il
reasonable amount of business to be
had. Those who fight for it will get
their share. Sales that have al
rcaGy lace offer the fluc-
cured belts the break they have been
hoping for.

Without pretending to defeno MI
Willkie-who we take 1t can care

acceptance address was "unpatrlotlc
G:etnagoguery, the reply by Secre-
tary Ickes, who made the charge,

but one can but wonder if this TRADE
is to represent the plane on which
the presidential campaign is to be
fought
The President himself. in speaking
bv radio TO the convention that
nominated him last month, lndl-
Gated he would do but little speak
inc during the campaign, and hint
ed wish that the battle be Waged
with dignity and candor. Yet it
IS doubtful that IckeS spoke with
out the knowledge Of his chief. or
that he used the terms employed
against the opposition candidate
without the Presidents knowledge
OF what he was going to say.
The <Ccretary'S speech bellies. so
tar as he is concerned. recent Cos
sin that he and Harry Hopkins had

seats This is the first IckeS blast.
but is not likely TO be his last be-
fore the ballots are counted No

Calling Willkie 4 simple, barefoot
Wall Street lawyer" will not entice
many Importers of the candidate
avav from him to the ticket Ickes
desires to see win. Issues in this
campaign are so vital that they de-
serve to be debated with all sim
cerity and honesty, without reSor;
10 personalities. But the means
are Of much less concern to the sec
rotary than the ends sought. And
discussions of this calibre will only
tend to divert the public mind from
the more important aspects Of the
problem as voters try earnestly to
reach a sound and sensible con-
cluSiOn.
1t would seem 4 difficult job to
keep Ickes quiet or to muzzle him.

To Work Again

News that the Vance Mills Com
pany is moving steadily toward full
restoration Of its plant so badly
damaged by fire some weeks ago is
welcome tidings to the whole COM
munity. 1t was expected and de-
voutly hoped that this word would be
forthcoming at the proper time.
The milling establishment has for
a quarter Of d century been d manu-
featuring institution of which the
city has been proud 1t is d distinct
asset to Henderson. as il would be to
any town or city. Il is a factor Of no
mean proportion in creating wealth,
furnishing jobs and bringing trade
into our midst.
By sane and sound management it
has functioned for the good of those
whose capital is involved in the in
vestment, for those who earn their
living through and by it. and as an
important industry for the section
it so admirably serves.
Those who knew of the company's
misfortune were anxious 10 learn of
the brighter turn in its affairs, and
are more than gratified that it is
soon to be completely restored and
will continue to operate as it has
for so many years in producing the
quality product it sells. and in fill
ing its very important place in the
community.

Britain to Trade

BrltalnS agreement to lease the
United States sites for naval and air
bases on her island possessions in the
Western Hemisphere is being APP
preached in manner somewhat diff
Ierent from the plan it had been gen.
orally supposed was under consider
alton. Prime Minister Churchill told
Commons no transfer Of sovereignty
is involved, but Indicated that the
deal would go through.
\ ninety-nne year lease is tanta-
mount 10 sale 10 and possession by
the United States. This country got
the Panama Canal Zone and now OPP
crates it under similar arrange
ment with the republic OF Panama,
in that it has 4 lease for one year
less than 4 century. American con-
troll of L portion of Newfoundland,
Of Bermuda. and of islands in the
West indies and the Caribbean may
te gained in precisely that manner,
which. so far aS any now living are
concerned. would be ownership in
fee simple.
Churchill told Commons Britain
is not asking any advantage in re-
turn. but in the next breath appealed
ior timely reinforcement" Of Brit
aims navy from the United States.
OF course, every one by now knows
OF the proposal to sell England fifty
deStroyerS built during the last war.
Churchill further said "agreemcnt
in principle" had been reached, and
that he was satisfied that no great
difficulty will arise in the discus
sion of Details" and then declared
detailed negotiations have not yet
begun. That sounds bit paradox
ical. but the line of elaboration may
mean one thing in diplomacy and
another to the ordinary layman.
Enough has been done and procedure
mas gone far enough, however. as in
Dictated by the publicity given, to
show that the deal is a virtual GER
tainty.
Our hope has been that sites need
ed by the United States would be
purchased outright. But terms Of the
lease may provide that destroyers, ii
furnished Britain. will be the means
of payment. Or the rental price
could be applied to account on Eng
lands war debt to the United
States. In either event, there is
scant likelihood of our own public |
debt of nearly fifty billion dollars
being increased 10 take care Of this |
item.
More details of the agreements I,
will have to be awaited by those |
who would like 10 know all about /
the transaction. The important !
thing to Uncle Sam is that sites be !
made available to bolster defense OF
this nation. And the American flag !
will fly over such territories as may !:
be acquired, whatever the terms, and |
even if the prime minister did tell
his people that mo transfer Of SOW !!
ereignty is involved" That item
may reflect Britain"s abiding faith
in ultimate victory over the dicta- ,
tors and her desire to keep every !
thing possible that she now owns. II
she loses, it will not make much I
difference to her.
