Jaycees Endorse It

When the Wilmington Junior Chamber of
Commerce took it's stand for compulsory mill
tary training it also made its position clear or
Americanism. Its resolution voices respect
for organizations of Americans which feel thai
compulsory training is not necessary, but chal-
lenges "the right of any organization to speak
for young men of America to include in its
membership those, be they few or many, who
openly favor any form of government con-
trary to the democratic form of government
of the United States"
And lest there be doubt of the particular
group in mind, the resolution continues: I'VE
challenge and condemn the resolutions passed
at the last convention of the American Youth
Congress as failing to represent the views of
American young men on the subject of COM
pulsory military training"
Among the dearest and finest traditions OF
Wilmington is the loyalty of its citizens. The
Junior Chamber of Commerce, made up OF
the typical progressive young manhood OF the
community, thus lets it be known that it cher.
ishes that tradition and abhors any agency
which promotes disrespect for our national in.
Ao1Oy dltJ-dS III T
American Youth Congress, with it's conomu.
nistic and fascist following, most certainly
does. Patriotism militant, aggressive - is
still dominant in Wilmington and close to the
hearts of its young business and professional
men; for which Wilmington has reason to be
thankful.
-
The resolution adopted by the Jaycees is
significant, not only for its firm stand on an
issue of prime Importance in national defense,
but because the men who approved it are TO,
the most part subject to the draft as proposed
in legislation now before congress. The 20.
sition taken by the organization is more thar
a gesture. It means that the Jaycees are
ready and willing to make any sacrifice, the
government may demand Of them to preserve
the institutions they uphold.

RALEIGH, Aug. 15.-The princi.
pal beneficiaries of the National
Defense program in North Caro-
lima between July II and July 81
were Chatham Manufacturing Co.
Of Elkin and Cramerton Mills, Inc,
Of Cramerton, according to figures
in a release from the Office oil
Government Reports.
The Elkin firm was awarded a
$40 $50 contract for olive d r a b
army blankets, while the Cramer-
ton concern drew a $3.50, 583. 65 con-
tract for cotton cloth; the tw O
totalling almost $640, 900.
Total awards and contracts und-
er the Defense program were $685.
566.65 during the period. o nly
stable item, aside from the Chath-
am and Crameron deals, was one
of $3.50, 600 from WPA for construc-
ton of utilities and roads at Fort
Bragg.
Total of awards and contracts
let in North Carolina from June 10
to July 81 was 5000, 1853.
The release tends to confirm the
impression that the only Tar Heel
industry directly connected W i h
the Defense program is the textile.
The second half of the split dove

State Democratic leaders are not
unduly concerned over chances Of
the state and national tickets this
fall. They see easy wins for Roose-
welt, Broughton and all incumbent
Congressman; but they will admit,
privily and apart, that the COP
is quite likely to increase its mea-
ger representation in the 1871 Cen
eral Assembly.
The Republicans held seven
House seats in 10. They quite
probably will win at least II this
fall, with a distinct possibility they
may go as high as 15-stil not

Farmers To Profit
By Corn Loan Plan

Allen county farmers will receive
a profit of S1,10O or more on the
1906 bushels of corn they pledged
to the Commodity Credit Corp. for
loans in 1889, it was indicated last
week by officials of the department
of agriculture.
This profit represents the differ
ence in value of the corn at the
loan price of 81 cents a bushel and
the price at 49 cents bushel, which
farmers would have had to accept by
selling their corn last fall.
With the price of corn rising, it
is possible some farmers may re-
purchase loaned corn for later sale
at prices that they believe will be
higher.
In the United States there are
55,000,000 bushels of corn under
seal.
