LOANS TO BRITISH
PROPOSAL STUDIED

want to know where the money is
going to come from after that. The
British were said to have raised the
question of immediate loans in order
to pin down future commitments.
The British view was said to be
that the promise of future loans was
necessary for these reasons: (a)
Bolstering the morale of the British
people; (b) better planning of war
purchases; (c) reinsurance of Ameri-
can manufacturers who might be
hesitant to make large expenditure
for factories and tools to fill British
orders unless they knew that ley
were going to be paid.
An indication of the American
view thai the British ought to spend
their own money before getting loans
was seen in the conversations be-
,-veen Treasury Secretary Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., and Sir Frederick
Phillips, undersecretary of the Brit
ish treasury. They started their
talks Friday and will meet again
Monday.
Both told reporters that they were
not talking of loans at this time
but were discussing the facts" ot
British and purchases.
Although, officials said, it is not
ordinarily polite for sovereign
ernments to ask collateral when lend
ing money to each other, the collater
al question is very live in the United
States with reference to Great
britain.
In congress and elsewhere, tall
centers on asking the British to pu'
up their gold, securities, West India1
Islands, or other assets as security
for an American loan. In the Fal
East and Africa, the British also owr
vast rubber, tin and other strategi'
material sources which may figure I

The American embassy handles
British affairs in Paris and it was
said here it was quite possible Mrs.
Deegan, in performance of her duties
as reception clerk, might have talked
with British subjects.
Secretary Hull told newspapermen
the embassy in Paris was taking all
appropriate action to secure Mrs.
Deegan's release.

Secretary of State Cordell Hull:
Embassy officials have visited

Miss Deegan, student at st. Mary's

She came here on June 5, after
sailing from Genoa, Italy, on the
American liner Washington. Prior

American school near LIE Havre,
France, but fled before the German

in the referendum here, Galphin
said.
Under the proposal, each grower
would be told by the department
how much cotton he could sell dur
ing the coming year without be-
coming liable to a penalty of 3
cents a pound.
Galphin said the marketing quo
tas would be applied to the 194l
crop provided farmers throughout
the cotton belt gave a tWo-thirds
majority to the proposal. The con-
troll program was first inaugurated
for cotton in 1898 ana has been in
effect ever since, having been ap-
proved each year by growers vot-
ing in a referendum.

mingly in favor of marketing quo
tas for the 1941 cotton crop.
With all but three small pre-,
cincts reporting, the vote, as tab
ulated by AAA officials at N. c..
State college, was:
For cotton quotas 55,036; against
Alps.
This gave control forces a ma
jority of approximately SO per cent
Last year, the cotton quotas sys-
TEN was approved by North Caro-,
lima farmers by a margin of 1913

screen in this latest episode Of the
series about the Hardy Family.
The gift was Il timc-yclloWcd book
on the social graccs, published in

Manners. Conduct and Dress Of the
Most Refined Society," and in the
picture it was used by Mickey Room
ey to determine how as Andy Hardy,
he might crash the acquaintance OF
a modern glamour girl. But forty
years ago it had been presented for
a more realistic purpose to John
Miller. property man on the Hardy

hoped thereby to improve him social
ly. The script called for such book
and Miller. unable to find anything
