ANSWERSo

/. DR.. Smith, president Of the Fay
etteville State Normal School for
Negroes, was appointed by President
Cleveland in 1888, and served until
in 1890, when he was forced to re-
TIT. 10 the United States on account
u his Wife's health. At the expira-
ton Of his leave of absence, Presi-
dent Cleveland's term having ended,
and Republican president elected,
he was not asked to return to Lib
eria. DR.. Smiths record as minister
to the African republic was one of
which all North Carolina is proud.
2. Congressman Abraham Watkins
Venable, born in Virginia in 1899.
moved to North Carolina in 1929,
after having practiced law in Meek
lenburg county, Virginia, for some
time. He served three terms as North
Carolina congressman. beginning in
l847. In l848 he became champion
Of Southern Rights, and bitterly at
tackled northern slave sentiment
abolitionists, and all suggestion of
compromise. He was defeated for re-
election in 1852. He was an active
secessionist, and was elected repre-
sentative to the Confederate Con-
gress. Died in Oxford, N. c., in 1876.

ceased Confederate veterans. It is

be compelled to turn this way, even
if he had no great desire to do so;
and with the British navy out Of the
way he could make things extreme
ly interesting for us.
The last war with Germany cost
us forty-five billions, when we had
plenty of allies. Another, with no
allies at all, would cost vastly more.
If we pay the British ten or fifteen
billions 10 fight it for us, is that bad
business? Of course, if we do moi
care who wins, then we should not
put up a cent, for every belligerent
government is a bad financial risk.
But if we really believe that the de-
feat of Hitler will relieve us Of the
necessity of fighting him few years
hence, then whatever we advance to
the British ought to be regarded, not
as a loan, but as fee for services
rendered.

If the World Survives

speculation as to what he meant. HE
did not elaborate. but left his hear
ers and the country to apply thelt

Some have been quick to say the
President has assumed a deteatlst
attitude. Others think he was mere
" ioking or using an aside remark.
Those who assume the peSslmlstic
view may ask themselves whether
the President knows something the
General public does not and IS not be-
inc let in on. Is the situation as bad
As all that? Has the President lost
faith in Britain'S ability to survive,
even with the aid the United States
has given. is giving and will con-
tinue to give in increasing amounts?
Despite the victories in Albania
and Egypt. are we to be informed
gradually that in the end there is no
hope for democracy? Perhaps there
may be those who accept the theory
that Hitler hopes MUSSolini will be
disposed OF. 50 that he may add Italy
10 his train Of cunqueStS, and hence
NAV leave him to his fate. and the
sooner that comes the better he will
like it.
We think the President was mere
~ employing language so many OF
us do in ordinary conversation. We
have no idea he thinks the cause Is
hopeless, nor that he has really Serl-
Gus doubts of the future, though the
way be hard and rocky. II the Pres
dent thought the world would COL
LAPSE in another three months, 1t
would be more appropriate and more
like him to keep his own counsel

W all means face the fact that if
we advance money to help Great
Britain in this war, it is extremely
unlikely that we shall get it back,

ought to try to get it back. If Great
Britain delivers the goods by defeat

this generosity on the part of the

demand for his sympathetic aid in

AS for France, it is not beyond the
range of possibility that Hitler may
be in control of even the unoccu-
pied region by the time ship could
reach MarseilleS, on the Mediterran-
can. Should he have reason or need
for taking over the supplies, only one
guess would be needed as to what
would happen. And the good old
American sympathy and generosity
would, even if unwittingly. be turned
in Germany's direction.
Britain has made it clear she does
not wish outside food supplies to en-
ter conquered areas of Europe, and
there has been evident here a dis
position to respect that wish, at least
officially. But it seems that some
American food anyhow is going
