SAM Houston JONES, successful candidate
for governor of Louisiana over EARL LONG,
brother of the Kingfish, in the recent prim.
airy, has promised, among other things, to
pay drivers of school buses $3.50 a month.
LONG questions his ability to do so and tacitly
dares him to try it.
North Carolina will watch the outcome with
deep interest, because Of the contrast the
proposed Louisiana compensation offers to
that in this state. Here we pay school bus
drivers, with rare exceptions, less than $40 a
month. Some counties, including New Hanov.
er, pay their drivers a living wage, but the
states rate is as cited.
The $3.50 monthly wage JONES proposes for
them may be more than the state can afford.
but it cannot possibly be more excessive than
North Cardinals is deficient. Somewhere be.
tween the two there must be a happy medium
by which Louisiana and North Carolina can
yecure the services of adult, experienced, com.
petent drivers for the buses transporting chill.

Virginia" tobacco, grown mostly IN North
Carolina and South Carolina.
Good authorities believe the demands of to-
bacco users in England and her army will force
the government ultimately to relent in its pur'
pose to keep out American tobacco. And state
department officials may have the same view,
but also they are encouraged by assertions of
British tobacco company officials-who believe
that dollar exchange may soon be available to
them.
One Washington commentator explains that
it is not Great Britain's agreement with Tur'
key that alone is responsible for the cutting
off of purchases from the United States, al
though these facts apparently may play a
part: The British have contracted to take 900,'
900 pounds sterling worth of Turkish tobacco
annually for a 20-year period and promised to
buy $1,000 pounds sterling worth from Greece.
However, it is pointed out that these to-
gether constitute no more than 10 per cent of
the normal British needs-as compared with
the two or three per cent hitherto supplied by
Turkey and Greece. That leaves the remaining
go per cent of British consumption still to be
supplied with American tobacco.
The explanation then is, according to the
Washington commentator, that at the present
time the British manufacturers have about a
two and a half years supply on hand, and 1T
isn't easy to convince a government which Is
at war and striving to conserve foreign ex-
change that it ought to maintain its reserves
and continue regular purchases abroad.
It is said the diplomats are stressing the
good will that can be bought along with the
tobacco, and it may be true also that the
manufacturers are stressing the point that
their American competitors maintain large re-
serves, as they have been doing, and that to-
bacco needs aging before it is manufactured,
that highly satisfying smokes are not made
this year with this years crop.
Best informed people in the eastern Carolina
belt recently have been expressing confidence
that some British buyers will be on hand when
the markets open in late summer and early
fall, and apparently with good reason.

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 1.--Except in tone of
voice. there is so much similarity between
Glenn Franks republican program committee
report and the democratic platform of 1886,
as enlarged upon since, that the licensees are
at least as striking as the differences.
Compare the core of the two
Foreign Policy
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. neutrality" Demo.
.cratic-"True neutrality" Republican-Defense
military force to resist aggression. Both urge
keeping out of war by avoiding melting Incl.
dents, commitments, or dangerous emotions.
Agriculture
Both hunt increased markets for agriculture
at home and abroad. Both are for reciprocal
trade negotiation, although the republicans
would subject each agreement to congressional
ratification. Secretary of State Hull says that
would kill the program. Both would keep down
excess production by acreage control, and both
would boost farm returns by subsidies SO long
as necessary.
Each lambasts the other spiritedly for mum.
bo-jumbo relationships with business. The re.
publican program would foster private enter
prise by protective" rather than restrictive"
governmental measures. The COP calls for a
socially protective framework of regulation"
The democratic platform says business is its

olistic restrictions on trade.
Government Finance
Repub1ican-2O per cent reduction in federal
spending. Balanced budget by 1912. Democratic

NOT LAST STAND

The fall Of Viipuri which, with the Rms.

Finland. The Firms have in all four defense

enemy losses made as heavy as possible in
men, equipment and supplies. By this method
he will not only delay surrender but reouire
STAIN to throw into the battle more and

But the taking Of this key city, not in If.

Although the Films continue their heroic
stand in the face of overwhelming odds, there

TRADE TOPS GOLD FLOW

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
in its monthly review, shows that foreign
purchases of goods and war supplies in this
country now exceed shipments Of gold. For.
eign spending during the last four months
has totaled about four-fifths of a billion dol.
lars, averaging about 5000, 900 900 a month.
The report says: "The figures for the past
month, together with similar figures for other
recent months, suggest the rate Of foreign
spending in the United States well above that
indicated by the reported excess Of merchan.
disc exports over imports"
Az the supply of gold accumulated by the
treasury has been on the point Of hindering
instead of stimulating business, this change
in the situation will be welcomed heartily.

MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION

Next to reckless driving, faulty equipment
is generally conceded to cause most traffic
accidents. Under-par brakes, lights, steering
apparatus are blamable in at least 20 per cent
of Carolina crashes, which last year ended
545 lives and brought injury to 2,S0S persons,
With this record before him, COLEMAN W
ROBERTS, president of the Carolina Motor club,
composed Of motor vehicle owners in the
two states, cites the Palmetto law requiring
periodical inspections as a step in the right
direction. 1t should be more effective, he
says, than any other factor in reducing South
Cardinals highway toll.
In the enforcement of such a law, however,
great care would have to be exercised to pre-.
vent it becoming a needless and costly bur
den to car owners. The agents conducting in.
spections would have to be selected for their
common sense as we'll as their knowledge of
the mechanical construction of motor cars.
Otherwise the law would degenerate into a
means of depressing many owners. With this
protection provided, the statute which the
neighboring Carolina has enacted, cannot fail
to improve the highway safety situation.

GREATER ~NATIONALISM

CENATOR REYNOLDS sounded a timely warn
~ ing in the senate on Thursday. He de.
c1ared the United States should stop trying
to be the savior of all the nations in the
world" and straightway become a national
istic" power. Otherwise, we will lose our for
eien markets and have no means of disposing
of our SURPRISES, at "even a break-even point.
He had cotton and tobacco particularly in
mind. Nations which have been our chief cot
ton and tobacco buyers now are developing
crops in their own possessions or in lands
under their protection or control. Great Brit
ain and Japan eventually will have their
own supplies of both commodities. JAPAN
having taken over the section of China where
cotton grows best, will soon have it produc'
ing humber crops. In addition, the Toyko
is encouraging cotton growing
among South American peoples with which
IFS relations are closest. Great Britain is fos-
tering cotton and tobacco growing in its pos
sessions and in lands where labor COSTS are
low and where the London influence is SUI
The tobacco embargo is a sample OF
Great Britain's attitude.

must be "nationalized' to fight, the senator
Our attention must be concen-
on increasing the purchasing power
home, so that when our chief foreign mar
kets are gone we will be able to utilize to
good advantage what now is surplus"
It is no sign of an inhospitable spirit to
agree with the senator that the time has
come to concentrate on our national needs
instead of ~devoting so much time, thought,
money and concern to other peoples. These
be parlous times, and no man can 1oresee
will follow the war now steaming up
in Europe.
With the future so uncertain, it behooves
US to learn how to live at home, which we
can do with careful planning. The United
States contains every resource required for
the support of it's great population. In every
mineral, including the precious
metals, and in agriculture, the country can
we'll take care of its peoples needs and assure
a fair degree. of prosperity. Shut off from all
outside sources of supply, the nation could
for generations.
We probably will never have to erect a bar
rier against the rest of the world, but should
it become necessary to do so, we need not
perish.
But this is no fair argument against more
com plete naturalization Of our resources
than has been the custom in the past. Senator
is right in planting the thought in
the minds of the senators, and through the
press, in the minds Of the people as a whole.

Road Board Refuses To Change
Rules Regarding Use Of Stone

RALEIGH, March i Up THE
state highway and public works
commission decided today to make
no immediate change in it's rules
governing use of stone in road-build-
ing and to give further considera.
ton and investigation to proposed
new regulations.
This action was taken after six
quarry firms had protested that the
proposed rules which would estab-
fish sharp differentials between
hard and soft stone, would work
"lrreparable damage" to the indus
try and would throw hundreds Of
persons out Of work.
In addition. they contended. there
are no existing standards to show
durability of various types of stone
and gravel used in surface treat.
ments' and failure of roads in which
soft stone was used was due to
faults in construction rather than
to material used.
highway engineers have claimed
that hard rock was more suitable
Tor surfacing, especially on heavily
Travelled roads. The proposed new
regulations were submitted to the
quarry interests early in January.
with the understanding they were to
appear before the commission TODAY
and present their views.
The firms representatives assert.
cd that the LOS Angeles test"
which would be used to determine
ratios of hardness, was "arbitrarv
aid unreliable"

ests presented maps showing the
locations of %quarries, and sale the
