Germany's foreign minister has
arrived back in Berlin from hur-
ried visit and d series of conferences
with II Duce and other Italian big
wigs in Rome, and is beating the

Among the things of which he

and that the groundwork has been
laid for Italian-Soviet rapproach-
ment. The world, OF course, and as
usual, has not been let in on what
actually happened at Rome, and how
much of real worthwhile achieve

ingly cooling, why not make 1t
unanimous by effccting peace also
between Germany on the one hand
and England and France on the
other?
We are at the moment in Il period
of what looms as 4 possible new
peace offensive covering this major
war. 1t may have no more slgnl1l-
canoe than others that have preced-
ed it, or it may bring developments
of genuine promise. If it does level
off without tangible accomplish
ments. the so-called big war may be
continued in the same manner that
has characterized it for the past six
months. or it may take more seri-
Gus turn with fighting in earnest
breaking out as soon as winter is
definitely gone and spring has ar
rived.
The latter alternative appears to
be the greater probability. Ger
tainly there have been indications Of
growing reStlesSness on both sides
for more action than there has been
so far. And once it comes, both will
likely get all they want of it and
more before there is an armiStice
to bring it to an end.
Nobody seems to be anxious for
the blood bath that will be newt
able once the modern instruments
and devices of destruction are let
loose in full force. Detectives and
aims that have been stated from
time to time in more or less definite
form are desired by both sides, but
they would prefer to achieve them
without the certain sacrifices that
will be required if there is to be re-
sort to force.
In world where there is such an
atmosphere. it would seem that a
policy of give and take might be
agreed upon to avert the catastrophe
which would take such an unspeak-
able toll of human life and property
and result in such horrible meas
ure of humiliation. To so on with
the program that appears in prospect
will pile evidence upon evidence
that the. civilization we have loved
and boasted is but sham and
hollow shell.

Teacher Demands

Demands tbs SCs.uuI teachers OF
the State Will laIKe upon the 1871
legislature are not new, but they
will be pressed with greater deter
mination and with more prospects OF
success than heretofore. 1t Is not
likely they will realize all Of them
at a single session ot the General
Assembly, but granting OF one or
two will bring partial success to the
program, and will lend encourage
ment to a renewal OF the fight Tor
the others as time goes on until most
OF them have been realized, as
eventually they will be.
\ retirement plan is the No. l
objective, but this is followed up by
demands for higher salaries; safe
guards against Wanton diSmiSSalS
from JOBS: reduction OF the teacher
load; extension OF the compulsory
attendance law to the age OF 10 in
stead of II, as at present; expansion
OF adult ed4cation programs; addi-
ton OF twelfth grade; easier local
supplements: greater support Tor vo-
cational education, ana Federal aid.
We have no idea what the bill
would be if all of these projects
were carried out simultaneously,
but the cost would very likely run
we'll in excess OF anything the legis-
latlUe will do at single session.
Most citizens OF this State, we
believe, are favorable to square
deal for the teachers and for the
schools IL general. The big queS-
ton, and one to which there has as
yet been found no answer, is the
matter OF financing the program.
Unfortunately, the demands are not
accompanied by any formula for
raising money, and without that
few, if any, vi the things asked
could be provided. The education
association doubtless takes the view
that is not their job, and assuredly
ii is not.
With as many candidates for gov
ernor as there are. the seven con-
testants between them may espouse
many or all of these causes. But
only one of the aSplrants will in the
end be elected governor. And it is
no easy thing now to pic!, the man
who will occupy the executive Of
flces after the tirst oil the year.
Whoever the successful candidate
turns out to be, and whatever can
didates Tor the legislature may be
named in May, the probability now
is that some OF the demands of the
education association will be written
into law by this time a year hence.

The Race Is On

The books are now C,0Sed and the
race is on for nominations for State
offices in the May 25 primary. Six
O'Clock last Saturday evening was
the deadline for filing with the
State Board of Elections in Raleigh,
and the result of the scramble was
that IL Democrats and % Republi-
cans paid their fees to fight for the
suffrage of the people in the filling
of the II offices.
AS had been suspected in some
quarters, not all of the announced
candidates for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor qualified, two
OF them. among the least known,
adopting the course of wisdom and
holding on to their S105 filing fees.
But there are actually seven who
are qualified and in the contest in
which only one man can win. I'm
less four of these develop uneXpect-
ed strength, they may as we'll have
saved their money and the money
they will spend in the next two
months before the election comes off.
1t is wholly improbable that any
che of the seven will receive q ma
jority in the first primary and thus
win the nomination. Maxwell,
Horton and Broughton, so far as we
can read the stars, are al the pres
cnt time the fair-haired boys, and
give promise of remaining so, with
two of them in the run-off the last
Saturday in June.
UP to now, the campaign has been
d tame affair. Only a little sniping
has been going on. But from now
on, more and more of the heavy
artillery will be brought into play
and the air will reverberate with
salvos from many quarters as the
bid for votes grows hotter and still
hotter toward the zero hour OF May
rs.
While the No. battle will claim
the spotlight, we rather suspect the
| four men in the race for lieutenant
governor will stir up d lot of inter-
est. But there will be little serious
contest for any of the other state
wide offices, except Walter Muir
phys challenge of Thad Eure for
the latter's post of secretary of
state. In most of the remaining
contests, those who are opposing in
| cumbents will have some fun and
acquire some notoriety. in return for
the filing fees they have paid; and
| that IS about as far as thew will get
Warm congressional fights are in
prospect for the third, sixth, eighth
and possibly the tenth districts, but
those who are of the kind TO lay
money on the outcome will likely be
safest if they pick the incumbentS
IN all but the sixth and eighth, where
a lot of grudges hanging over from
the Touchdown and dragout fights oil
, 1888 remain to be evened. In the
first, second, fifth, seventh anc
tenth congressional districts, the in,
I cumoents will have no primary con-
test, on their hands.
One Of the surprises of the last
minute filings was that of Edward
F. Griffin, of Louisburg, who will
