Cooper, who spends considerable
time in the fields of his Bruns-
wick county tobacco farm, point
ed out that each year British to-
bacco firms in the past have sold
great quantities of American-grown
but English-processed tobacco in
Latin American markets.
With the current war making
shipping hazardous and somewhat
difficult for England, he said, these
markets are now open to North
Carolina.
There is no reason why North
Carolina tobacco purchasers cannot
sell as much North Carolina-grown

bacco in the Latin American mar.

way would open deliberately a
new war front in which both
Germany and Russia would be
lighting against the British and
French.
In such circumstances, it was
said, the possibility Of a Ger
man-Russian military alliance
would not be precIuded.
Although the Italian govern
ment considered a settlement be-
tween Finland and Russia strict
ly a matter for those two coun-
tries to decide, Italian preoccu-
patton with the possibility of al
lied Intervention was evident.
The intention of Italy to re-
main a nom belIigerent while
still an ally of Germany has
been affirmed in circles close to
the government.
. Premier MussolinTs attitude
toward an outright German-Rus-
sian alliance could only be con-
jectured. Italians always have
made a distinction between their
anti olshevism and official re-
lations between the Rome and
Moscow governments.
Italian press support of IAN
honorable peace for Finland
was interpreted in some foreign
circles as possibly meaning that
Italy had assurances from Ger
many that Russia would abstain
from turning her armies into the
Balkans, where Italy had declar-
ed her intention of defending her
interests.

VOORHIS SPEAKS
AT LEAGUE MEET

Harry R. Stanley Of Greensboro, c.
w. D%anenburg of High Point, and
DR.. David Jones of Greensboro, vice
chairman, and John Greedy of Dur
ham, secretary.
Near the close of the session the
league endorsed the following resolu-
tons:
1. Neutrality for the United States,
no loans to foreign powers.
2. Every citizen eligible to vote
exercise of that privilege.
3. In support of the federal hous-
ing program; more money urged for
this purpose.
4. Opposed to any changes in the
Wagner Labor Act and a definite
stand against forces attempting to
amend it.
5. Fair Labor Standards Act, more
funds advocated for its enforcement,
6. Opposition to poll tax in any
form.
Z. Increase in weekly benefits to
the unemployed.
The day long program opened with
an address by John Lang, state
youth administrator of the NYA,
who told the several hundred per.
sons that the farmer income is the
basis for all income levels.
He pointedly remarked on litter
acy and the lack of sound health
conditions in this state.
He suggested that $4,000 are
still unemployed in North Caro-
lima and that SO per cent of the
youth of the nation is in the south
whereas the south realizes only II
per cent of the national income.
Honesty in government affairs also
was stressed.
Rep. Voorhis opened his address
with the observation that every
thing the congress does should be
directed toward bringing the speed
lest possible peace and throwing
the influence of the United States
into the scales in favor of a just
and lasting settlement between the
nations now at war"
eff we make loans to China or
to Finland they can only serve
to enable those peoples to defend
themselves a little better against
the weapons which we have sold
to Japan and Russia" he said.
