A proclamation, filled with

then in all other principal Ian
guages of the globe.

Upon the announcement that
France had agreed to armistice

that the hostilities would cease six

German terms to which France
yielded Saturday, Hitler declared
in a formal proclamation:

He ordered flags displayed for 10

Rudolf Hess, No. 8 Nazi, sent
Hitler a glowing telegram, calling
the victory the most glorious in
German history and declaring:
"You have thus given meaning
to the struggle of German world
war veterans which lasted many
years"
46-DAY COMPAIGN
The order to cease firing mark
ed the end of a 46-day campaign
which brought France to her knees
with most of her soil occupied by
German soldiers, and the Neither
lands, Belgium and Luxembourg
under the Nazi flag.
In 70 days, since the start of the
scandinavian campaign on April
y, Germany has acquired all the
atlantic coast from the Arctic to
Span.
When Hitler unleashed his DOW
erful war machine against the
low countries and the Allies on
May 10, he proclaimed in an or
der of the day that it was the be-
ginning of a fight that decides
the fate of the German nation for
the next 1000 years."
Now the German armed force
is freed for an attack expected on
England, declared the principal en-
envy of Hitler's Reich.
1t was clear to every German
that all energies now could be con-
centrated on settling scores with
Great Britain.
That this attack on ENGLAND will
dwarf even the blitzkrieg which
humbled France, was indicated in
semi-official comment.
Preliminary preparation for the
great drive included further ad-
vances by German forces in
France, extending the Nazi grip on
coast vantage points useful against
British ,seapower, and a tour of
inspection by Grand Admiral Erich
Raeder to make certain that Nazi
naval units and naval facilities
were ready for the word "go!" 4

the present setup will not be laid

A request will be made of A. E:
Langston, of Raleigh, state direc-
tor of the FSC, to this effect.
Wade said this plan will enable
the city and the county to place
the new office in the same build
ing with the present warehouse,
thereby saving $50 or more per
month in rents, in addition to keep
ing the present workers employ
ed.
1t was not known last night il
an arrangement such as this could
be made, but Wade was authoriz-
ed by the boards to negotiate with
FSC officials and to take any pos
sible steps toward keeping b o t b
systems in operation here.
The issuance of stamps in the
county will probably be started in
about two weeks. The city and
county jointly set up a $500 BOO re-
volving fund which will be used
for placing the plan in operation.
The sum will eventually be return
ed to the two boards.
A meeting between Gideon T..
Bateman, organization director Of
the stamp plan and grocers n
the city will be held Soon. At this
time the methods of advertising
and general handling of the food
stamp plan will be handled.
1t was suggested that if it was
found impractical to locate the new
office in the warehouse at the foot
of Grace street it be placed III the
Woolvin building on Princess

later meeting.

vHITEVILLE, June 24.-Declar-

In these days of crisis, Judge Bur-

United States, or inN flavor of any
other country.
Action should be taken and is

ment.' Judge Burney asserted. He
then declared emphatically, I'VE will
not tolerate the fifth column in Col
umbus county, or iFNorth Carolina,
or in the United States"
I'VE should be more worried about
what is going on in our coun-
trv than what is going on across the
sea. There are great numbers of
people in this country who if they
do not wish to live under and abide
by the laws of this country, we will
have to do one of two things: either
put them across the water or under
the ground. We as Americans are
not going to tolerate any such condi-
lions as have been allowed to exist
in this country in recent years
where there are 900 different ON
munist organizations in this country.
We must never allow in North Caro-
lima a condition where a witness on
the stand of our courts declares that
he recognizes but nj flag and that
the red flag of Russia, and that he
does not believe there is a God.
Such will cease when you and
all other Americans rise up and
make an honest attempt to preserve
all we have fought for in this
