Motorists Asked 70
Endorse Gas Ration
Coupons At Once
Plan viii Prevent
Others From Using;
Eliminate Theft

BY properly endorsing their cou-
pons at once, motorists and others
holding gasoline rations will avoid
the inconvenience of having to do
so when they buy gasoline at a
service station, MIR. J. ID. Wise. State
OPA Rationing Officer, pointed out
today. They will also help protect
their ration books from possible
misuse in the case Of loss or theft.
1t is not necessary, Mr.. Wise IN
phasized, for ration holders to wait
until they buy gasoline before en-
dorsing their coupons. In fact, they
fulfill the purpose of the require
ment only if they write on the back
of their coupons Immediately. This
prevents the coupons from being
used in connection with the opera
ton of any other vehicle.
Under the new rationing regula'
tions dealers must require correct
notations on the back Of al coupons
they accept. This requirement be
came effective in the East Novem
Der 81. In other sections of thu
country it becomes effective whei
nationwide mileage rationing is IN
,itiated December i. q
A. b. c. and d. coupons must d.
endorsed on the back with the ca
license number and the state o
registration. Passenger fleet oper
ators using Interchangeable coupo'
books must write or stamp the flee
name. T coupons must be endorse
on the back with the War Certificat
Number or the fleet name. + an
r coupons must have the name an
address of the user written on tn
back. All endorsements must be !
ink to prevent alterations.
Coupon endorsement is one {
the important steps oPA is now tai
lng to insure against theft and IN
proper use of gasoline rations, NJ
| Wise explained 1t will be excee'
5 ingly difficult for thieves and bla'
. market operators to use coupon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Oper
ations on all fronts against the Axis
are progressing favorably, Secretary
of War Stimson said. He summar.
/ lied the situation as follows:
~ The Germans have failed in
all of their main detectives for the
year in Russia and will have to with
draw from wide areas unless they
can stop the Russian counter-offen-
sive.
(2) The allies are building up
strong assault forces in Tunisia to
GUST the Axis, but the enemy there
will offer strong resistance"
go American an d Australian
troops have eornered substantial
numbers of Japanese troops between
Coma and Buna in New Guinea.
(4J Although weather conditions
make extensive activity difficult in
the Aleutians, American fliers are
doing everything possible to harass
the enemy.
Navy Secretary Knox said it is
unlikely the Japanese can get rein
forcements into Guadalcanal. Au-
stralian troops, advancing on Buna,
have smashed japanese counterat-
lacks, while allied bombers blasted
enemy gun nests and motor en-
placements, Gen. McArthur's New
Guinea headquarters reported Nov.
%. Japanese naval forces. however,
despite heavy losses, have landed
strong, fresh reinforcements" on
the Buna-Gona beachhead. Earlier
allied airmen sank two and probably
three troop-laden destroyers and
definitely sank one other destroyer
and two smaller vessels.
Communiques during the week re-
ported allied forces in North Africa
destroyed 100 Axis planes and q
medium tanks at the cost Of nine

Farmers Vote 12fh
For Marketing
Cotton Quotas
Present Market Is
Limited To Domestic
Use Almost Entirely

AS farmers prepare to go to the
polls on Saturday, December IL
1912, to decide whether or not they
will continue cotton marketing quo
tas in effect in 1913, state agricul-
tural leaders point out that the cot
ten situation now is vastly different
from what it was in the last war
when cotton prices SCARED to 40
cents a pound.
c. L. Neill, chairman of the State
AAA committee, and a cotton grow
er, today pointed out that "in the
last wal American farmers had two
Zig markets for cotton-a domestic
market and a foreign market. World
war two has practically cut off the
foreign market for American cot
ton"
In 1918, exports of American
cotton totaled 5,592,0O0 bales and
in 1919 exports totaled 6,540,000
bales. Last year exports of Amer
lean cotton totaled only a million
bales. In 1919 the carry over of
American cotton was only 3,824.000
bales; in 1941 it was nearly 12,-
100000 bales.
During the last war the supply Of
cotton ranged around 14,00o,000 to
900, 900 bales. Now the supply
is approximately 100000 bales.
"This MEANS Mr.. Neill said, chat
the present supply Of cotton is
nearly t0.000,000 bales above the
supply during the last world war
while, at the same time, the avail
able market is limited almost en-
t;~ely Co domestic consumption.
eThe government cotton loan.
available only when marketing quo.
tas are in eject, is now serving as
q floor under the price of cottoa
aud Is the main factor responsible
for the present of cotton,
Mr.. Neil said. lie pointed out tha'
in Brazil and Peru, which do no
have the same price support as cot
ton in the United States, the price
of the same grade and staple OF
cotton is around eight cents below
he price of American cotton.
"When farmers cast their votes II
the referendum they should remem
Der that the United States now ha
a two year supply of cotton OF
hand with the exception Of some Of
the longer staples, and That the
government loan and acreage con
troll have been the main support Of
cotton prices. If marketing quotas
are voted down there viii be n'
government cotton loan"
The farm price of cotton in re
cent years has closely followed th'
basic loan rate. For example, II
1910 the basic loan rate was 81
| cents a pound and the average farm
price for 1s-inch middling cottol
was $50 cents a pound. In l94l
the loan rate was raised to 14.O.
cents per pound, and. the average
| farm price was 1903 cents a pound
This year, the basic loan rate wa
fixed at 1897 cents and the aver
age farm price = 1897 cents pc
pound.

DISPELLING G.
THE FOG

Continued from page II
present program called for the re.
turn to total French dominion at
the conclusion of the war, if
France refused to play ball we
would take possession with no spe.
cific obligation to give the islands
back when the fighting is over.
Opinions are at variance as to
whether by taking it over we
would simply acquire some real
estate of no military value, in view
of our other bases in the same vi
cinity. 1t is urged that by simply
eliminating it as threat, as
would be done under the terms of
the pending negotiations, our OBJ
ject would be attained.
There is a diplomatic front,
among various fighting fronts in
this war. So We string along with
the Commander of the Free French
forces, giving him all the aid we
can send him to help in the fight
ing but balk at recognizing his or.
ganizatiOn as the government Of
France, which has a government
at Vichy. That may be a puppet
government under duress, but it is
still one to which we can send dip
lomatic representatives When
the war is won, the French people
will determine their own admins
tratiOn.
True. we recognize other con-
quered rulers, such as Hollands
and Polands. but theirs are gov
ernments in exile, with not even a
theoretical administration at home.
Meanwhile, we function along,
dealing with Vichy at arms length
and with various restrictions,
without adding to. the strength of
the enemy - at least for the time
being.

What Editors Are
Saying:
No Repetition

The Republicans have used the
same tactics in 1912 as in 1918, in
an effort to gain control of Con-
gress while the Republic is at war,
but there is no evidence that
there will be the same result. All
available evidence indicates that
there will be more Democrats in
the next House of Representative
than in the present One-(Raleigh
News and Observer).
