response over the heads of polite
ians from the people of Germany"
Mr.. Stephen, seconding Mr.. Nc
Governs statement, said that "if
peace is to be based on justice and
equity the time for conference is
now, because the military situation
is one in which the parties are fairly
evenly balanced"
"It may be said," he continued,
chat Germany is occupying a posi-
ton of military superiority, but it
would appear to be counter-balanced
by the tremendous potential resources
of the British Empire, along with the
promised material assistance of the
United States.
1.-THE time has come when Brit
ain should make a great moral ges-
ture to the world and offer peace to
the other side on a basis of justice
to all people,"
Mr.. Stephen proposed a twofold
basis for a peace conference:
1. Acceptance by the contending
parties of the restoration of freedom
in all countries.
2. "Both parties to put all their
material resources which they are
willing to devote to war into a COM
mon pool to bring about new civili-
cation in the world"
James Griffith, Laborite, said
everyone would welcome a real peace,
but, he said, "the choice is not peace
or war but capitulation or survival"
Mr.. Griffith and Sir Percy Har-
ris, Liberal, agreed that the Govern
ment should "take the first oppor-
tunity of stating its aims not be-
cause we are defeated or defeatists
but because we are winning for Brit
ain a new place in the world
An observative view was expressed
by Henry w. Brooke, who said, "The
war must go on to victory" He de-
clared Mr.. McGovern would advo-
cate for the whole western world to
surrender to slavery and devils"

FIRE THREATENS MILL
AT PRINCESS ANNE

A Tuesday morning of last week
blaze at the Cohn & Book lumber
mill at Princess Anne, called the
Princess Anne firemen into action at
5 A. M. For more than an hour
they were in service fighting the
spread of flames from the saw dust
pit to other parts of the extensive
plant. Of unknown origin, the fire
was first discovered in the saw dust
pit and when the firemen arrived on
the scene was rapidly spreading to
the shed roof over the pit and to
other parts of the planning and saw
mills.
The firemen promptly got, the blaze
under control, with a loss estimated
at less than $10O, but stayed on duty
for some time to guard against any
recurrence of the blaze which, for a
short time at least, threatened to de-
stroy one of Princess Anne's largest
factories.

Another Strange Turn

We do not desire to see the European
war spread any more, but what could be
better for civilization or for the democra-
tic nations of the world than for Commu-
nism, Fascism and Nazism to become in
volved in war against each other.
Since the days of his soap-box speaking
campaign, Hitler has been cursing Com
munism and with the fast, smashing de-
feats of the Allies, we have been hoping
that Russia would decide that Germany
was becoming too powerful, and would do
something to stop the dreamer of ruling
the world'.
Apparently Russia now has something of
that kind in mind. The Nazis are plenty
sore about the Reds marching into Ru-
mania and taking valuable resources, in
Guiding rich oil wells. Who could blame
England if she offered to give Russia part
of India and all of Germany if the huge
Russian army would swing into action?
Without such assistance, it appears to be
only a matter of few weeks until the
great Empire will be blasted off of the Bri-
fish Isles and will have to take refuge in
Canada or Australia.
BY fighting each other, maybe commu-
nism and nazism would both be destroyed!
What could we welcome more than that
now?

Building A Backlog

One OF the greatest safeguards for De-
mocracy is "home ownership and the or
ganization that is doing more than any
other organization in America to build up
this "wall of protection" against national
ism, relationships, and destruction of indi-
vidual property rights is the Building and
Loan Associations
North Carolina and the United States
are homecoming state and nation And
for this laudible fact, the Building and
Loan Associations are due the major share
OF credit because it was through them that
a large percentage of homes have been
constructed
Last year the various associations in the
state made 1851 loans to the amount of
$25,93O, 784, of which 6,146 were for con-
struction of new homes. The average loan
is around $1,000, which indicates that the
Building and Loan Associations act as
small home-loan agencies.
Another great thing about these associa-
tons is that they offer an excellent oppor-
the systematic way. Building and loan
stock is tax-free and pays higher rate of
interest than a number of other financial
Institutions
Here in Ashe we now have fine organ
lzation started and it is getting along
splendidly. During the coming years it
will play leading part in the growth and
development of this community and coun-
ty.
Its fourth series is now open. You will
be rendering yourself, your family and
your county distinct service by joining
this association. Do it NOW. You will
never regret it! Even if you do not intend
to build home, you will be building up
backlog" for the rainy day or for the OPP
portunity that will come tomorrow.

Prayer For The Fourth

Today marks the anniversary Of the most
significant day in the history of the United
States.
Over century and half ago the Dec
laration of Independence was signed and
from that hour until now our "land of the
free" has grown greater and greater.
Although we are not the largest nation
in area or population, in colonial posses
sions or perhaps monetary wealth, we
are supreme in the estimation of native
and foreigner.
The wealth that is Americas is the spir-
it of its people. Free thought and free ini-
tiative are basic factors. Here we have the
dream of mankind for democratic system
of government, one that guarantees free
dom of speech, freedom of worship, free
dom of assembly and freedom of the press.
Here, as in few other nations in the
world person can climb from the bottom
to the top in wealth, in politics and in So
cial life. Here we can own property, can
live our lives according to the dictates of
our own conscience rather than according
to the demands of some selfish ruler and
can select our political leaders through the
system of an election ballot.
In this dark hour of world history when
the very foundation upon which we stand
is being threatened, may our nation speedi-
ly become so well prepared that we may
never cease to celebrate July Fourth and
that we may continue to show the rest of
the humanity the ideal way to live and to
govern.
Our prayer on this day is that Ameri-
cans will save America for Americans of
tomorrow and that Nazism, Fascism and
Communism will be wiped from the face
of the globe before they destroy everything
that civilization has achieved in the CEN
turtles that have gone.

Wendell Willkie Nominated
By Republicans On 9th Ballot
Hopes Roosevelt Will be No
minated, Says He Wants
To Defeat Him.

Thousands of Republicans who
gathered in Philadelphia last
week for the National Convention
unanimously nominated Wendell
l.. Willkie as it's 1910 Presiden-
tial candidate on the sixth ballot
Friday morning.
Taft and Dewey led in the be-
ginning, but lost ground as the
convention continued.
A last minute unanimous break
by the big Pennsylvania delega-
ton clinched the matter when
unofficial figures had given Will
kie a majority of the convention.
Willkie had been long spoken
of as dark horse and his nomi-
nation climaxed the convention
called to order on Monday.
Not since 1920 when Warren G.
Harding, another dark horse was
nominated had there been such
a wide Republican field. Unlike
that earlier convention the pro-
fessional politicians and party
lacked complete control. They
were faced with a public demand
for an Independent candidate.
The following tabulation shows
the results of the first five bal

Hats Off To n. WilkesbOrO

This week North Wilkesboro is celebrat-
ing its fiftieth anniversary and, on behalf
of the citizens of the Jeffersons and Ashe
county, we take pleasure in extending
hearty congratulations to our fine neigh
boring town that has grown from an open
field to thriving industrial and trading
center within half of a century.
Its progress and growth have been ra-
pid and varied, but unlike city that more
or less springs up overnight, North Wilkes
boro's development has been genuine and
not artificial. It has been built upon
sound, solid foundation and cannot be
swept aside by economic cycles of depres-
sion.
It's manufacturing plants and most of it's
business concerns did not pop up as re-
suit of high-powered outside promoters,
but they were established gradually and
wisely, mostly by Wilkes county men and
Wilkes county capital.
North Wilkesboro has been blessed bv
having local men with vision, courage and
determination men who dreamed

A number of fine resolutions

considerable feeling of frustra-
