Special Dispatch to the Enquirer
Lebanon, Ohio, November 10
Quick thinking by Leban tele-
phone operators this afternoon
prevented what threatened to be-
come a serious fire at the Will
liam Slusher farm, east of Le-
banon on the Shutdown Road.
Alone in her home when a grass
fire, started by sparks from burn
ing rubbish, spread to the orchard,
Mrs. Slusher, who has been m,
called the telephone exchange
here, asking for aid.
HThe operators called Slusher's
neighbors and informed them of
Mrs. Slusher's peril. The neighbors
responded and had the fire under
control before serious damage was
caused.
Is your home properly protected
against the possible loss resulting
from fires, theft, sudden accident
or sickness?
The telephone is an ever present
guardian Of your safety, the cost
of this service is remarkably low.
Call or write your local telephone

Washington, d. {
PAN-AMERICAN BARTER

When Hitler first began his crush
ing march through Europe, an Ar
gentine business man remarked to
Washington officials:
"At first it will be a little diff
cult to readjust our trade with Eng
land. All the docks. will be blown
up, and shipping will be scarce. But
after these things have been ironed
out, it will be much easier. We
will simply make a deal with one
man. Hitler will buy our meat-not
only for Germany, but for England,
Belgium, France, and all the rest
of Europe"
This danger of Hitler capturing
Latin America through monopoliz-
ing trade is what is behind the giant
trade cartel for the Americas, now
being worked out by the Roosevelt
administration.
And in the secret report handed
Roosevelt by his cabinet members
is much more far-reaching plan
than anyone dreams. In brief, the
plan proposes that the United States
buy all the surplus crops of Latin
America. In other words, Mr.. Hull's
much cherished reciprocal trade
treaties 60 out the window, and the
United States gets down to hard
boiled, cut-throat bartering in an eff
fort to monopolize Western henai-
sphere trade.
To illustrate, take the case of Bra
I'll and Hitler in 1889. In that year,
Brazil sold most of her coffee to the
United States, but had a surplus left
over which she could not sell. So
Germany offered to take the bal
ance of her crop.
Naturally this was an offer Brazil
could not very well resist-except
that there was one catch to it. Hitler
paid in barter. In return he gave
Brazil cameras, motorcycles, radi-
os, optical instruments and various
other German specialties.
Then Hitler, having bought the
coffee for German goods, turned
around and sold it not only to Aus
tria and Czecho Slovakia, which he
had conquered, but also to Jugo-
s1avia, Rumania, Hungary and most
Of southern Europe, with which he
had trade agreements. In return
he got cash, thus bolstering Ger
man exchange.

U. S. Buys SURPRISES.

mentS now propose somewhat the
same thing, only this time the Unit
ed States will buy up the SURPRISES
/ and resell them in Europe. In other
| words, we will take Brazi's surplus
coffee crop and then resell it just
as Hitler did.
The first part of the program is
purely. emergency. It will aim to
help out the southern neighbors who
once had thriving markets in Hol-
land, Belgium, Norway, Denmark
and France, but whose markets now
have evaporated with Hitler and the
blockade.
Even after the war is over, how
ever, the system may be contin-
ued. The plan is definitely being
set up to this end.
What the state department argues
is that it is cheaper to do some
surplus buying in Latin America
than to fight war there. Buying
up the surplus coffee crop, for in
stance, probably would cost less
thany.a newzbattleship:
Also, no country viii be aided
which does business with Hitler.
Present plan is to be ruthless about
this-though if some of the career
boys in the state department are re-
lied upon to be ruthless it may
merely boil down to cheek-patting.
Great danger is that the buying
up of SURPRISES may take the same
road of Herbert Hoover's Inflated
wheat board. The farmers knew
that the more wheat they raised,
the more they could sell to the
board, so Hoover found himself left
with tremendous surplus which
depressed the market.
Similarly, Latin American nations
may discover that the more coffee
they raise, the more they can sell
to the United States. The cabinet Of
ficers who prepared the plan for
Roosevelt realized this, but figured
that they would try 1.-THE thing out
during the emergency of the war and
try to perfect it later. 4

diplomat on the trade plan to keep
Hitler out of South America: "That
sounds like the man who was on

along and took the ladder away, but
he just kept on painting.

Commission Can't
Change NumbersOf
Federal Highways
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. March Histories Of a
recent meeting of the Highway Com
mission stating that the commission
approved" changes in the number
ine Of parts OF L. S. Highway l5G
were very misleading if they con-
viewed the impression that the COM
missions action was authoritative
and meant that the new numbering
would 90 into effect Immediately.
Fact is that the Commission hasn't
any jurisdiction over Federal route
numbers in any case; and the ad-
d;tional fact is that in the case Of
Highway 1853 the changes proposed
and "approved" by the Commission
haven't even a Chinaman's chance
of getting approval Of the proper
numbering body-an association OF
state highway bodies which passes on
such matters.
What is proposed is that 1873. which
starts at WinstOn-Salem and now
.uns through Murrreesboro and
hence north into Virginia, shall be
continued on beyond MurirceSboro
Il North Carolina, the present N. e..
30 becoming u. S. 1873 10 ShaWboro,
beyond which N c. 81 would be u.
s. 1853 through cutoff south Of Cur
rituck into Manteo.
Under this plan 1873 from Muir
rreesborc into Virginia would be-
come u. S. 258.
Principal reason there's small
chance this can be done is that the
proposed changes would make 1873
an INTERSTATE North Carolina road
from its beginning in WinSton-Salem
to its extreme eastern terminus;
which would deprive it completely
of its ~. S." character. The ~. S.
designation is not given to intra-
state roads.
AS matter of fact the State High
way Commission did nothing more
than recommend that the proposed
change be made. 1t has no authority
to do any more than that: despite
published accounts of "approVaP'--
stories which would lead to the be-
lief the change had actually been
made and that all left to do is to
put up signs along the new route and
take them down along the old.
All dacnotic r,1la is based on fear.

TO the usual shortage Of pitching

cepted more than 800 chances and
had only five errors marked against

and set up many fast double plays.

Raleigh, March Tucked away
Under a comparatively small heaG
IN Tuesdays Wilmington Star there
appeared story which shows clear
" that North Cardinals game pro-
tectors mean business and that those
who violate the laws and regulations
regarding hunting do so at a real
peril.
The item chronicled the fact that
z. c. King drew straight road SEN
tence of four months at hard LABOR,
md without alternative OF paying a
tine for hunting after his license had
Jeen revoked.
The case was tried in Superior
curt before Judge r. Hunt Parker.
Special Game Protector S. H. Will
,ians reported that King had been
picked up for hunting quail out OF
season. whereupon his license was
revoked. Several weeks ago he was
again caught hunting, which led to
the trial before Judge Parker with
resultant sentence.
Officials of the Department OF Con-
servaticn and Development said that
the sentence is by far the heaviest
imposed this hunting season Tor
violation of the game laws; and ad-
ded that it is perhaps the stiffest ever
handed out in history of the state for
q similar offenSe.
The Game and Fish division, thro-
ugh its protectors, has been pushing
an energetic campaign against hunt
ING law violatcrs all over the state
and the Onslow case is clear in
dication that their efforts to secure
rigid enforcement are meeting with
more than a little success.
