would, during the period that il
was under way, "end the unem-
ployment problem and that part
Of the agricultural problem which
is domestic" and would more than
make up for the loss of our foreign
markets.
But no preparedness moves of
any such magnitude have eve n
been proposed as yet," he con-
tinued, "and until such a program
is sufficiently under way to have
this effect, we must make sure
that the farmers and the unem-
ployed are not made victims of
the wars interferences with world
trade.
Lacking a program of tn S
scope, farmers producing crops a
substantial part of which go for
export are going to be in trouble
this fall. In any event such export
crops as cotton and fue-cured to-
bacco are almost certain to be in
real trouble.''
Wallace said that the enactment
OF the proposed tax increases for
defense would bear witness to the
peoples willingness to make sac
rIt1ces and their determination to
keep the nations finances in good
order" l

Editorial Comments
From Other Anqles
GOVERNOR BROUGHTON
(Raleigh News And Observer)

J. Melville Broughton, Raleigh attorney yes
terday became the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor of North Carolina. For all practical pur-
poses, he is already the Governor-elect He will
face formal opposition in the general election in
November but the ineffectiveness of that oppo.
sition is best attested by the pitfully small vote
cast for the three Republican candidates for
Governor in the same primary in which Mr.
Broughton polled 1000 votes to lead field Of
seven Democratic candidates.
Mr.. Broughton will enter office next January
under circumstances which should enable him
to make an exceptionally good Governor. The
News and Observer is confident that he will
measure up to that opportunity.
The News and Observer takes pleasure in
tending to Mr.. Broughton it's heartiest congratu-
lations and in expressing the opinion that both
the Democratic party and the State will take
pride in his administration.
Mr.. Broughton is well fitted from the stand
points Of character and ability to assume the
high office for which he has been chosen But
there is nothing unusual in that fact. Fortu-
nately, the statement applies to every
man elected to that office during the past 40
years.
Mr.. Broughton is unusually fortunate, how
ever, in that he is not under obligation to any
group clique within the party. True 1t is
that Mr.. Broughton was supported by group
of party leaders, but the bulk of the support
which gave him commanding lead came from
the rank and file of the party, from voters with
no axe to grind and disposition to besiege
the Governors office for special favors. More
over the potential support which made Mr.
Broughtons nomination in a second primary in
evitable came from those who did not support
the leading candidate at all in the first primary
but had indicated their intentions to do so in
the event of second primary
Mr.. Broughton is also fortunate in that he
has made rash commitments concerning
eilher appointments policies. His progressive
record as member of the State Senate gives
assurance that he will pursue similar policies
as Chief Executive of the State.
This State has demonstrated through it's sup
port of President Roosevelt and the New Deal
that a progressive administration of both ma
tonal and State government is desired. Mr.
Broughtons life record is such that the people
ct the State can have full confidence in such
an administration headed by him.

NATIONAL GUARD ENCAMPMENT

As the time draws near for departure of ma
tional guard units for camp training it appear
that some employers still oppose the longer
period set by the war department and are re-
luctant to hold open the jobs of their employees
whose military duties conflict with their busi-
ness arrangements. These employers, per-
haps, have not recognized yet that these are
serious times in our national existence and
call for unprecedented cooperation by them in
the nations effort to make their business safe
in the future.
The national guard is an integral part of
the national defense, more vital than many
realize. Its members are expected, and indeed
must, be prepared to function as completely
and efficiently as the regular army in emer-
gency. Cities, industries, utilities, must be
safeguarded, not only against possible future
attack, but against the Vaccinations of any
fifth column activities. If the national guard
is to perform this service, it must have train
ing under conditions which resemble those OF
actual combat as closely as they can be imitat.
ed, and for longer periods than formerly were
deemed sufficient. In adding third week of
necessary step. Two weeks is no longer ade-
quate. In fact it may be believed that three
weeks is not fully satisfactory. But it will
bring security nearer by teaching the person
mel what to expect and how to conduct them
selves, if crisis comes.
These men Of business who complain of the
interruption occasioned by the absence of 50
many employees would prove their patriotism
and display proper sense of their obligations
to the nation, as we'll as to themselves, by
giving their free consent to the absence OF
their workers and see that no man loses his
employment as a result of that absence.
1t is not impossible that in the end these
boys called to camp may have to preserve the
business of their employers from an invading
enemy. Self interest, therefore, dictates that
employers relieve the minds of their workers
from anxiety while away, that they may the
better be fitted for emergency service A wor-
rled man can't be a good soldier. And only
good soldier can do a good job.

Reluctantly, he married, and
eased through lifeless honey

life. Nina was bitterly disappointed
to find that marriage had turned
her moody suitor into a husband
| VI UQL OllC l1lOoo-~S4oOll1s
Then suddenly he changed. Ann
had come to see him on business,
and he was amazed to find that
she no longer meant anything to
him, except in his dreams. Seeing
her in flesh and blood. he had to
admit that he had outgrown her
without knowing it.
With his excuse for being half
hearted in his married life gone,
Ted began to appreciate Nina tor
what she was, instead of inWardly
blaming her for not being a Sec
ond Ann. Sprucing up and living
his life in the present, he found his
whole life attitude changed, as he
got into the habit of accepting
Things as they are and doing some
thing about them.
Nina could not understand the
difference in Ted, but she was so
grateful for it that she asked no
questions. Having her husband
come alive and enjoy her company
as he never had since their we'd
ding day, she blossomed out and
became twice the person she had
been.
If asked her secret for married
happiness, she would probably
say, "Get your husband to stop

DEFENSE TAX BILL

navy air bases, and buy guns, mu-
nitions and many other items.
The sum pushed the cost of regu-
lar and emergency defense items
to 81, 800, 100000, and as the cost
grew a marked inclination display
ed itself to increase the yield of
the emergency defense tax bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a press con-
ference the more that could be
raised, and paid as the program
progresses, the better it would be.
Late in the day, the house ap-
proved a compromise 81, ,492, 542, $50

it to the senate for ratification of
house changes after rejecting a re-
publican attempt to earmark spe-
cifcally a $68, 1000, ,000 fund which
is to be spent in the presidents
discretion.
Amendment Beaten
By roll-call vote of 234 to 1856,
the house beat down the amend
rnent by Rep. Plumley (R-VD. The
chief executive had asked that he
be allowed to use his own discre-
ton in spending certain sums but
said he intended to use 1t chiefly
20 accelerate construction OF equip

At his press conference, mean
while, Mr.. Roosevelt announced
the previously expected reslgna-

tary of the navy, and said that
he expected to institute savings IN
numerous branches of the govern

would return some $3.50, 100000 to
