In Six States In AAA
Control Referendum
VOTING VERY HEAVY
New Hanover's Tobacco
Growers Unanimously
Favor Control

New Hanover county's 10 tobacco
farmers yesterday voted unanimous
ly in favor Of three-year program
of control, r. W. Galphin, county
farm agent, reported.
From Pender county came the fol-
lowing tabulation: of total of 814
tobacco farmers, 697 voted for three
year control; 81 voted for one-year
control; and SO voted for no control.
Approved In Onslow
In Onslow county returns from 12
or 13 precincts showed a total of
1903 of the county's 2,918 growers
voted for the three-year program, 16
for the one-year program and "a
against control. A total of S34 votes
were challenged.
RALEIGH, July 20. - R - The
flue-cured tobacco crop in North
Carolina will be controlled by
acreage quotas at least until 1943,
results of today's AAA referendum
indicated tonight.
North Carolina, together wi h
growers throughout the flue-cured
belt, apparently cast large majority
in favor of three-year control, COW
ering 1941, 1912 and 1943.
AAA officials at N. G. State col
lege, who tabulated the vote, said
complete returns from II of rs
North Carolina counties in which
the cigarette tobacco is raised gave
a majority of 866 per cent for three
year control.
The vote: for three year control
1860; for one-year control 1918;
for no control 15,493.
The referendum was held through
out the tobacco belt. A belt-wide ma
jority of two-thirds of the farmers
participating in the election was
necessary for the three-year control
to be effective.
AAA officials said there were SAB
polling places in the state. Most of
the polls were open from a. m. I'M
til p. m. Fair weather prevailed
through most Of the state.
J. B. Hutson, assistant AAA admin
istrator, promised farmers in seven
speeches in North Carolina this sum-
mer that, if three-year quotas were
approved, the federal government
would maintain prices of the 1910
crop at or above the level of 149
cents a pound, established last year.
He also announced that, if the
three-year control plan were adopted
acreage quotas would not be reduced
in 194i.

to reason into English ears
until, as authorized sources
put it, every Englishman
knows exactly what is in
store for him unless he gets
rid of @the plutocratic ruling
clique" which wants to keep

No Desire To Harm
Repeatedly the English were told
that Hitler has no desire to harm
either England or her empire. 1t
was suggested that only by getting
out from under Churchil's control
can England escape the German on
slaught. c'.-
There was, moreover, not the
slightest hint either in Hitler's
speech or in the words of radio Or
press that Germany is slowing up
one iota in her preparation for this
attack. 1t is assumed that the whole
military and naval machine is ready
to go at any time at the Fuehrer s
word. Il
No further direct proposal to Eng
land may be expected from Hitler,
the authoritative Dienst auYDeut-
schland said.
"The initiative must now come
from England" said this commen-
tary. Hitler has not set a time
limit for the answer from England,
but from that fact it cannot be con-
cluded that England is able to claim
an unlimited period to answer the
