Axis Bonds

Save for some further anomalous advances
in various German municipal and corporate
dollar bonds issues of Germany, Italy and
Japan continue on the toboggan in the Ameri-
can market. Losses on Wednesday were heavi-
est in Japanese bonds, which fell two to eight
points. German government and Italian issues
were comparatively easy.
There is, of course, no buying interest at
present for Japanese securities, other than
the occasional orders received from residents
of that country on the Pacific coast. The drop
in Axis bonds followed expectations, and only
the improvement in German municipal and
corporate securities represents anything like
a mystery. The buying of such issues has
been in progress now for about two weeks,
and appears to be coming via Sweden from
the Reich itself. It may well be, however,
that the Swedes and the Swiss are doing the
buying.
The possibility is mentioned in Wall street
that some new clearing arrangements have
been worked out whereby the neutral neigh.
bors of the Reich can effect payment by such
means for certain purchases from Germany

For Sweet Charity's Sake

In enlisting Mrs. w. G. Whitehead as general
chairman, the Associated Charities has gone
a long way to assure the success of its forth
coming campaign for funds. The outlook is
the better by reason of the fact that Mrs.
Whitehead will have the able assistance of
Mrs Thomas Cause as publicity chairman
and Mr. L. c. Robertson as business director.
The campaign to which the organization
looks for money for its beneficent activities
through another year will start on October
81 and continue for a week. During that period
the people of Wilmington will have opportunity
to contribute, as their means permit, to an
undertaking of which the sole object is the
relief of suffering among the community S
unfortunates who for one reason or another
are no longer self-supporting.
1t may be said, and should be remembered,
that among all the pleas made for public sup
port none is more meritorious. The Associated
Charities does a work which no other Or
are thoroughly systernitized and humanized.
Wherever there is need there, too, is this
organization ready and willing to meet that
need. During the three months preceding Oc-
tober, we are told, it served 18 families.
Had Wilmingtonians withheld their support last
year, this could not have been done.
1t may be necessary to serve more families
in the year ahead. Facing this possibility, il
will be to the credit of the city's more fortu-
nate people if contributions in the coming
drive are larger than last years.

One Day For Registration

There has developed some misunderstood
ing among draft eligibles here on the length Of
time available for registering. For the benefit
of any man who does not already know it may
be said that the registration period is limited
to single day, October is.
On next Wednesday, therefore, every man
subject to the selective service law must pre-
sent hirnslf to the nearest draft board, answer
the prescribed questions and sign on the dotted
line Failure to do so will involve certain risks
for the delinquent, including punishment in
aggravated cases.
It is desirable that draftees register in their
home districts, but absence from home will
not be valid excuse for failure to register.
If it is necessary to be away from home on
registration day, the regulations say, the draf-
tee should 60 to the place OF registration in the
city he is visiting and be listed there. His
card will be forwarded to his home district.
Even if he is travelling he must arrange for a
stop-over for the purpose of registering or
incur the displeasure of the government These
facts are emphasized by H. G. Carney, chair
man of the New Hanover county board OF
elections, who is also supervising this county S
registration, in the hope that men subject to
the draft will take note of them and arrange
their engagements for next Wednesday ac-
cordingly.
It seems worth while to say that this draft
registration is not a leisurely process, but
must be completed in the day set aside for it.
The obligation rests upon all men within the
specified ages, not otherwise exempted, to
comply with the requirements. Uncle Sam
deals severely with those who offer them.

FARM LEADER TO SPEAK
T,umherton. The RObeSOnian

Robson county folks will have the oppor'
tunity Friday evening of this week of hearing
one of the best-known agricultural leaders OF
the South when Mr.. Hugh MacRae OF Whining
ton will speak at Long Branch at meetlng
of Robeson Pomona Grange.
Mr.. MacRae is one of the agricultural trail
blazers At his farm at 1nvershiel MIR. Mac
Rae after long and patient experiments has
developed year-round pastures and has pub
lished a booklet on Continuous Grazing a
subject that is of great importance to Robesor
county as development of livestock industry
should receive much more attention than il
has in the past.
Last spring a number of Robson county
farmers had the pleasure and profit of visiting
the Invershiel farm on a trip sponsored by
the National Bank of Lumberton.
A fact not so generally known as is Mr.
MacRae's achievements in farming is that his
early agricultural training was received II
Robson county. In his letter to Mrs. JOSEPH
Page of Marietta, Pomona Grange lecturer
acknowledging her invitation to address the
Grange, Mr.. MacRae wrote in part:
feel complimented by your invitation
to speak at Long Branch on the night of
October 18th on the subject of pastures.
would like to do this for several
reasons, one Of which is that my early
agricultural training was received when
I was between six and eight years old, in
Robeson county. I was under the inn

years subsequently was well known among
the Scotch families of that section, 1.-The

CHANGE OF FACE

Dear Sir:
Your editorial, 'They Don't
Know U.s." in Fridays Star was apt
and to the point.
Just few short days ago the
gangster nations were boasting of
their alliance and making high
sounding threats against the Unit
ed States for aiding England. Then
Secretary Knox makes a few de-
cisive statements, which showed
the gangsters that their big gun has
back-fired o nthem. This has appar-
emily changed them from yowling
tigers to purring kittens, SO far as
Uncle Sam is concerned. In fact,
they even protest that the combin-
alton gotten up for his undoing was
intended for his protection and
benefit. Instead Of threats, they are
now making frantic efforts to. ca
jole and bribe him, anything to
keep him quiet until England can
be crushed. If that could be accom-
plished, Uncle Sans position would
probably be we'll represent
ed by the yarn made up on a
stingy man, to the effect that he
would give his children a dime
apiece to 60 to bed without sup
per, take the money away from
them during their sleep, and thrash
them soundly the next morning for
losing it.
So far as territorial bribes are
concerned, it may not have occur
red to the gangster minds of Hitler
and his cohorts that the English
would doubtless prefer thousand
times having their empire taken
over by the United States, lock,
stock, and barrel, than for it to
pass under the destructive sway of
the gangster crew.
Humanity is pitifully in need of
'New World Order" but most en-
phatically not the brand made in
Germany" So far as it has spread,
this brand apparently consists of
destruction, ruin, starvation and
death.
Even if right is temporarily
worsted, God Himself stands back
Of the promise that it will have a
glorious victory.

The Situation In Asia

Every step that has been taken by the state
department. in Washington and British officials
ir London serves to emphasize the deep con-
Germ with which the two governments view the
mounting crisis in Far Eastern affairs. The
cabled advice to Americans in Asia to return
home; the order to Lord Lothian, the British
ambassador, to stay on duty here, are both
clear warnings that an hour of decision in the
troubled area is not far off.
This does not mean that either Britain or
the United States looks for war; both wish
with all their hearts for continued peace with
Japan. But historic decision-the reopening
of the Burma road-has been made and both
nations are gravely waiting and preparing for
the possible consequences of that act
AS early as the invasion of Mancnuria the
United States had few illusions about the pos
sibility Of diverting Japan from conquest by
appeasng her. Now both Britain and America
have reached the common conviction that the
western democracies cannot afford to retreat
from the steps they have taken to strengthen
the resistance of China and curtail the power
of Japan Like Britain, this country has a
choice of risks, of whether it is safer to with
draw and allow Japan to consolidate herself as
a great and threatening power in the western
Pacific or stand firm and chance a clash.
Today because we have chosen not to re-
treat, the chances of conflict are present
For several reasons they still do not seem
great Japan. deeply mired in China, cut
from her allies by the British and American
fleets, would be rash beyond all logic to EN-.
bark upon another war. On the other hand. we
cannot afford to forget that what happens in
Asia is less Immediately important to us than
what is happening on the other side of the
world. It is in the Battle of Britain that our
economic resources can be applied to our own
greatest advantage. That is where the power
Of the aggressors is at its peak. If it wins
there, there will be no real security for anyone
anywhere aey more. And by the same token
it is defeated there. there will be little to
affect our security anywhere else.
