Now that street traffic has been brought I'm

"YOu And Who. Else?"

When Mussolini says that he will break
Greece's back, the inevitable query is 'You
and who else?"
Greece's back may be broken, but Mussolini
can't do it. His army has proved that. Save
for an initial advance, before Greece got set
to fight, Italian forces have been in constant
retreat.
At no time, since the invasion was launched,
have they displayed either striking power or
military leadership. Now 10000 Italian SOL
diers are in a trap at Koritza and their fellows
on other battlefronts are hotfooting for home
and mother.
Yet Mussolini shouts aloud that he will crush
the Greeks. In the circumstances none save
a megolomaniac could talk so foolishly.
Yes, Greece's back may be broken. But If
it is, it will be in spite Of Mussolini, and not
because of his aid.

Most OF these states have provisions for

The Farmers Meeting

Truck farmers of southeastern North Caro-
lima have not only climatic eccentricities to
fight, but often national opposition as well.
This was demonstrated last spring, when
the National Vegetable Growers conference
asked that no farmer without a truck quota
be permitted to plant more than one acre OF
vegetables without penalty from the AAA.
The maximum was placed at three acres.
when they sought to have any county growing
as much as 300 acres of truck declared a
truck county, which would bring 1t under
the restrictions of the AAA program, the limit
was expanded to 400 acres.
The truck farmer, it appears from this. is
outvoted at every turn and faces a handicap
before he plants a crop. And this is bad
economics. For when growers Of other crops,
tobacco and cotton, for example, may increase
their truck paintings without let or hindrance,
they impinge upon the rights of truck farmers
- who nave only their vegetables to depend
on for a livelihood-and create market over
stocking, which drives prices down, while still
enjoying the benefits of AAA favoritism to-
ward their own main crops.
These and relative matters on the
agenda of the mass meeting to be held on
November Is at the court house. AS they con-
Germ Wilmington's business community nearly
as much as the farmers themselves, it is to be
expected that the city's commercial interests
will be well represented and share in the
discussions.

An Able Secretary

Secretary Of State Hulrs reported decision

a great majority of his countrymen.
It is easy to understand Mr.. Hulrs desire
to return to private life. He is no longer
young; he has been on a difficult Job for a
long time during a period of acute inter-
national stress. No other secretary of state
in history, in fact, has served longer than the
eight years which Mr.. Hull will round out
next March.
Blu it so happens that no man in public
life today has the complete confidence of so
many men and women as the secretary of
