Referendum
Rules Given

College Station. Raleigh, July 10
Any person who will share in the
proceeds of the 1910 flue-cured to-
baccO crop, and not just landowners,
will be eligible to vote in the mar
keting quota referendum to be held
on Saturday, it was emphatically
stated today by Z. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer of N. c. State COL
lege. This means operators, tenants,
or sharecroppers who will receive a
share of the proceeds Of the 1910
'iuc-cured crop, he explained.
Floyd said that county AAA Of
liccS have prepared registers of eli
gble voters, but that if a persons
name is not on the register, he will
be allowed to cast his ballot. It will
be kept separate and the county AAA
referendum committee will inVeSti-
gate the case 10 determine if the voter
was eligible. In this way, all quail
fled persons will have voice in de-
termnng the future of the fluc-
cured tobacco industry, he stated.
Growers will vote ON three qucS-
tons: CD Do you favor thrcc-ycar
quotas? (2) Do you favor quotas only
for l94l? and (3) Are you opposed
TO quotas for 1871, 1912 and 1913?
Floyd explained that the three
year plan will enable the govern
ment TO protect prices of the 1910
tobacco crop at or slightly above the
l4.9 cents per pound level cStab-
lished in 1889" and also allotments
will not be reduced next year How
ever, if one-ycar quotas are approx
ed, there will be 10 percent re-
duction in allotmentS in 1871 and
prices probably will be 2 to cents
below the 1889 level" he concluded.

The Road to War

Few things are more rare than
that we find ourselves in agreement
with the views of Socialist Norman
Thomas. but on this question Of con-
scription we can find much in COM
mon with this left-Winger. Thomas
says it is the road TO war. and we
have no difficulty in going with him
long way in that conviction.
The former presidential candi-
date told the Senate Military Com
mittee that CONSUMPTION is "a road
leading straight to militarlSm, I'M
perialiSm and ultimately to Amerl-
can fascism and war" For our own
part, we had as soon head into COM
munism or NaziiSm as to drive
straight toward fasciSm. for one is
about as foreign to American demo-
cracy as the other, and there is very
little difference between them.
powerful men and forces in this
country" Thomas said. have trumped
up the argument that the program
would be valuable for democratic
discipline and the inculcation Of
loyalty. and hope by that sort Of
contention to buttreSS their position
and pull the wool over the eyes OF
the people. and thus Seduce them
into acquieScence. The sufficient
answer to that, he Said-and we
agree-iS to be found in the history
of all great nations which have
adopted CONSUMPTION.
Further. said Thomas, no pro-
poSal could be more in line with faS-
cist RECOMMENDATION and less in accord
with American tradition and the
American way of life than this bill.
OF course. the Socialist leader IS
not noted for his eSpouSal of the
American way Of life as we have
known it. and words Of that tenor
coming from him do not in them
selves carry great weight.
Thomas did not differentiate as
to whether he was opposing con-
Scription as a temporary cXpedienCy
in the current emergency or as 4
permanent policy Of this ntaion. For
our part. we incline strongly to the
latter angle Of the issue. If we are
in danger. and every one knows that
we are: and ii the only way we can
protect ourselves is by CONSUMPTION
during this period of crisis. then we
have no alternative but to pursue
that course.
But Thomas and the others who
Joined him in the opposition are on
solid ground when they hold that
as permanent and con-
tinuous policy ''violates all the fund
American principles" and
"offerS the graveSt danger to the fu-
lure of America in my lifetime"
Americans will be unworthy of
their heritage of liberty and peace if
they sit idly by and allow this hide
Gus monster to be pushed down their
threats by a group of war mongers
who prefer to play politics as against
assuring The future of this republic

Britain in the Orient

Gre. Britain has decided to yield
to japanese demands that she close
the last remaining route over which
American supplies are reaching the
beleaguered Chinese government OF
General-PreSident Chang kai-Shek,
a step which means two things. Be-
cause China, in her helplesSneSS,
will no longer be able to obtain the
supplies she needs and which can be
had nowhere else, she must shortly
give up, leaving Japan victor III the
three-year-old war. And Britain
with her hands full at home, is in nc
position to resist the JapS OF deliver
ultimatums to them.
Britain knows, however, that if by
some miracle she can withstand the
assaults OF the axis powers and hold
out to victory, she will ultimately
regain the power to reverse japanese
aggrandizement in the Orient. II she
loses the war, and is humbled by
Germany, what happens in the Far
East will mean nothing to her any
how.
The Japs, of course, are taking ad-
vantage of the chaos in Europe to
achieve ambitions of their own. This
they could not do if Britain were
free to carry on as she has done for
hundreds of years. Seizure OF large
portions OF China by Nippon is but a
counterpart Of what is going on in
Europe, Africa and Western Asia.
Japan is a remote affiliate of the
Rome-Berlin-M Moscow = Tokyo COM
bine, and, like the others in that as
sortment OF brigands, goes along
where it is TO her interest, but first,
last and all the time is Out FOR her
self, and is now on the verge Of
realizing on a consuming desire to
dominate the western Pacific.
Uncle Sam is not without con-
Germ m this latest juggling OF terri
tories. 1t means, among other things,
that Japan shortly will be in position
to dictate political and economic
policies in her area, regardless OF
what the United States OF any one
else may wish or say. It augurS no
good for the Philippine Islands, short
ly to acquire full independence, and
emphasizes the possible wisdom OF
acquiescence by this country in the
demand OF the natives to have their
own government. Further, it may
ultimately mean but a short period
of Philippine independence, for it is
we'll known that Japan CovetS the
islands, and will feel freer to make
grab there once American author,
ity ceases to exist.
AS for Britain, if she refused t
grant demands of Tokyo that tn
Burma road supply line to the Chi
nese government be closed, japan
would simply proceed to close TIT
route self and there is nothin,
Brita.H 'Duld do about it. London
decision is the only sensible one
Gould make, however distasteful
may be. She can only hope for
better day and a time OF reckoning
and settlement of old scores. An,
this, if it ever comes, will be a loni
way in the future.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

In a quaint misconception of the
national pastime, the Nationals lit
orally threw an 8-5 decision to the
Athletics yesterday at Griffith Sta
dium. They committed five grievous
errors that figured in six Philadel-
phia runs and their pitching was
pounded for Is hits.
Rookie Catcher Dick Hahn from
the Charlotte branch of Washing
tons limited farm system was ex-
posed to major league baseball and
suffered from shock. He contrib
uted two errors, with Pitchers Joe
Haynes and Lou Truman and Out
fielder Buddy Lewis each inserting
miScue into the proceedings.
The Mats made nearly as many
errors as hits, for 29-year -old
Johnny Babich stymied them with
. half-dozen safeties and yielded
only two in the last Ave innings
after Washington had locked the
score at 3-3 in the fourth inning.
Haynes, making his first start
since June Is, was greeted gleefully
by Joe Gantenbein. who propelled
his first pitch of the game over the
right-field fence for a home run.
After Wally Moses popped out, Sam
Chapman singled to center and Bob
johnson drilled a double to right.
When Lewis fumbled Johnson's
smash, Chapman scored and john
son continued to third. Haynes
then bobbled Dick Siebert's bunt
along the first-base line, allowing
johnson to score.
Haynes, pounded for six hits, left
the premises with two on and no.
body out in the third. Truman,
who was with the Mats for a short
spell last fall, stepped into that
situation and escaped unscathed
and in seeming delight the Mats tied
the score for him.
Washington had manufactured a
run in the second inning on Jimmy
Bloodworth's triple of the right
