LUNCHES-A drive is now
under way to pursuade more
schools to cooperate in the school
lunch program being sponsored
by the Food Distribution Admin
istration and the State Board OF
Education. Principals interested
in carrying on such a project
should write either of these agen-
cieS.
It is significant to note that
100000 per month is being spent
on this lunch program in North
Carolina. Despite the fact that
the Government allocated $780,
600 to this State for the lunch
project, much of this amount will
go unspent because many princi-
pals prefer to sell candy and soft
drinks instead of pushing projects
for balanced meals. They sacri-
flee the teeth and the stomachs of
the children in order that may in
stall footlights for the stage or
have the chapel piano tuned.
The FDA will contribute up to
nine cents per meal and various
surplus commodities to any school
enterprising enough to carry out
the program.
LEADERS-Some schools in
North Carolina have no lunch
programs at all. Formerly, they
worked closely with the WPA,
and when this went under they
felt they could not carry on the
project. The following counties
lead in providing their children
with well balanced lunches:
SURRY-Eighteen out of 38
schools in Surry county are CO.
operating in the program. There
were II working with free lunch
es in the 1942-43 school year.
Observation-Disclosures out
of 40 schools are providing lunch
es as compared with "a out of 40
last year. Around 1000 children
in this county have an opportuni-
ty to obtain at least one good
meal each school day.
HAYWOOD-Last year, Fl out
of Is schools in Haywood parti-
cipated in the lunch program. AL
though this year the number has
dropped to Is, Haywood is still
among the first 10 counties in the
State in this movement.
ASHE-Ashe county leads all
the others, with a total of 20
schools participating in the lunch
program.
CHATHAM-Thirteen schools
in Chatham offered lunches last
year; IL this year. Within the
past four years the county COM
missioners have appropriated
around $4,000 for lunchrooms in
this county. A $4,000 lunchroom
is now being completed at one
school, and a cannery for the
lunchroom project is being plan
ned.

CAMPAIGN-Plans now are
for Gregg Cherry to set up his
State organization in pattern
somewhat different from that of
his predecessors. If the plan of
attack now being considered ma
terializes, the State will be di-
vided into five areas; northwest
(Winston-Salem); west (Ashe-
ville); southwest Charlotte Gas
tonia); central (Raleigh); north
east elizabeth City Washington;
southeast (Goldsboro).
This thing Of setting up the
State in Congressional districts is
looked on with disfavor by Cher
ry stalwarts. They feel that these
districts are so strung out gerry
mandered) that they are cumber-
some to handle. The new plan is
only tentative, may not be adopt
ed. However, this is how things
stand at this time.

Turkeys Position

The resignation of Foreign Min
lister Menemencioglou indicates seri-
Gus differences within the Turkish
government over Turkeys reluctance
to be more helpful to the Allies. The
development follows closely upon a
British protest to the Turks against
their permitting twelve German
vessels to pass through the Dar-
danelles from the Black Sea to the
Aegean.
According to a sharp statement
by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
in the House of Commons the other
day, the passage was granted early
this month in violation of Article
XIX of the Montreux Convention,
which forbids such transit to the
warships of any belligerent. Turkey
insists that the vessels were un-
armed, for commercial use only, and
therefore entitled to move through,
but the British view is that they
were disarmed just before leaving
the Black Sea and rearmed upon
entering the Aegean. In Mr.. Edens
opinion the Turks thus permitted
themselves to be the victim of a
"palpable maneuver" by the Nazis
to the detriment of Britain.
Whatever technicalities they may
he ohIe to cite t0 iustifV their nOSi-
ton in this particular case, it seems
strange that the Turks, as the nom
belligerent allies of the British,
should be bending over backward to
be correct" with the Nazis at this
point in the war. Particularly be-
cause of their treaty relationship
with Britain one would expect them
to set an example for all the neutrals

Iceland Independent

Today ''the worlds oldest democ-
racy" will become an independent
nation once more. At Reykjavik as
: these words are written the people
of Iceland are celebrating the begin
ming of new chapter in their his
tory. The National Parliament will
declare modern constitution in
effect. Many American soldiers and
at least a few American civilians
are spectators at the ceremonies
planned for the occasion. Troops
from the United States have been in
the country since July Z, 1941.
But the ties between Iceland and
America date back centuries be-
yond that comparatively recent
time. 1t was from the little volcanic
isle on the edge of the Arctic Circle
that Left Ericsson and his COM
panions came to Massachusetts, in
the year 1000. Iceland then had
been colonized for several centuries.
Religious settlers from Ireland are
supposed to have been the first
Europeans to establish homesteads
in the shadow of Mount Hekla.
When the Norsemen first visited the
place in $50, they found christian
men," presumably monks, there.
Four great mobiles from Norway ar
rived between 870 and 800. Then
appeared Queen Aud, widow of Olaf
the White, King of Dublin, and her
relatives. They occupied the west
and north coasts; and their de-
scendants swayed the destinies of
those regions, if not the entire Ice
landic community, for generations.
BY HOO the population Of whole In
elusive territory was fifty thousand
souls. The present citizens repre-
sent the same mixed Norwegian and
Irish stocks.
No better combination, 1t seems,
could have been devised for the
making of nation loving freedom,
literature, art, sport and the sea.
Iceland has a traditionsof free demo-
cratic culture without compare. Not
even subsection to the monarchs of
Norway in 1854 could stop the
growth of the native spirit of the
Icelandic folk. The love of liberty
never died. Under the union of
the three crowns" Denmark to all
practical purposes was the predoni-
nant power in the island from 1880
until 1874, when King Christian TX
visited Reykjavik in person to inau-
gurate a period of theoretical "home
rule" Agitation for complete eman-
cipation, however, continued, and in
1918 it was agreed that Iceland
should be "a free and independent
kingdom" with the King of Denmark
Christian X-as sovereign. Now a
republic is created, President is to
be appointed for one year and at
the expiration of his term sue
cessor will be elected for four years.
The people of the United States,
whose sons and brothers are in Ice
land, felicitate their Icelandic neigh
bors on the fulfllment of their ma
tional ideals Til hamingju!

the reasoning of promoters of a cham

to have it ended with knockout in the

Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, who
is battling for the Republican nomina-

himself well when, on Wednesday, he
addressed the "78 Club" composed of
new Republican members of Congress

and given applause. But Republican

dinner afterward expressed the opinion
that the actual situation had not been

in avoiding any acts likely to injure
the United Nations. Moreover, as
one Turkish writer has put it,
Turkey, if it hopes to have an in
fluential voice in the next peace,
cannot afford to invite the an
tipathy of Allied public opinion by
posing as defender of an extremely
doubtful German right"
Much the same thought was ex-
pressed short time ago by Prime
Minister Churchill when he revealed
his disappointment over Turkeys
overcautious course in the war. Mr..
Menemencioglou's departure from
the government suggests that many
Turks, not without good reason,
would like to see Ankara line up
openly where its heart presumably
is-on the side of its British ally,
on the side of all the United Nations,
against an enemy who is already
well on his way to being beaten

order Of the day should be hurry,

meet the gigantic reconversion
task that will be upon us when *
day" dawns, the day of partial de-
mobilization. To this end, in a
point-by-point summary, he empha-
sized again the things that need to
be done with the utmost dispatch
for example, that Congress enact
legislation covering the disposal of
surplus property; that the War
Production Board, working with the
military agencies, move more swiftly
in preparing planned-in-a advance
schedule for the cancellation of arms
contracts; that the House promptly
follow the Senate's suit in the all
important matter of passing legis-
lation to cover contract termina-
tion; that housing and public works
plans be drawn up and held in re-
serve for use when necessary; and
that postwar tax bill be devised to
be put into effect when private
enterprise will be very much in need
of encouragement.
Some of this program has already
been acted upon in part, but most
Of the job remains to be done-and
the crying need is to do it fast.

While the Imagination Of the Ameri-
can people has been greatly aroused
by the raid on Japan by the Goth Air
Forces Super Fortresses observers tax
ing long range view point out again
how vitality important China is to our
war effort and how much our success
against the Japs depends on having
air bases in that country.
Military experts admit 1t would take
a tremendous effort to arm and train
the millions of Chinese and weld them
into modern army. But they also
believe no effort should be spared by
either the United States or Great
Britain to prevent the japanese from
crushing the Chungking government
and taking over the last portion of
independent China where, 1t has now
been proved, vital air bases can be
installed.
We1l-informed quarters believe the
Japs have been expecting such a raid
as the one carried out Thursday. Their
spies In Free China must have warned
Tokyo OF what was being prepared.
Raids Of Thursdays type require long
and careful preparation. While the
secret was perfectly maintained In the
odAtCO otdIcS, lcdkS lucVlCaOly must
have occurred on the spot where they
were being prepared.

Tokyo broadcasts have indicated since
May that. a major American raid was
expected. More stringent precautions
were ordered and months ago the
japanese government began to dupli-
cate many Of its important factories
on the Asiatic mainland.
Military observers also link the new
Japanese offensive against Chungking
with the military leaders fear that
the day is not far distant when there
will be constant stream of American
bombers between Eastern China and
Japan.
The agreement between Moscow and
Tokyo regarding Soviet fishing rights
and oil in Northern Sakhalin was hailed
In this country as a tremendous diplo-
matte victory for the Soviets and clear
indication of weakness of Japan.
AS a matter Of fact, there was much
more behind the arrangement than hit
the eye.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln !.

One week and one day hence the Re-
publican National Convention will meet
to name its candidate for President.
Few, If any, of the delegates do not
know for whom they will cast their bal
lots.
Yet the Tunor goes about that, in
order to give the convention a SEM
blance Of "deliberation" and demo-
cratic procedure" certain party leaders
believe 1t would be better not to nom
mate candidate on the first ballot,
even though majority-and perhaps
great majority-of the delegates favor
one man, Gov. Dewey Of New York It
is incredible, however, that any such
Childish reasoning will prevail.
Obviously some Of those who put for
ward such an idea hope that by de-
laying Dewey nomination it will be
possible to prevent the nomination of
the New York Governor Until the
nomination is actually made, they rea-
son, there Is still chance that an
other candidate may emerge the win
0thers may wish to make deals
prospective nominee-which
not be able to do.
gsss H treat majority of the Repub-
Icanss 10Th in and out of the conven-
ton, favor the nomination of Mr..
Dewey-and there is ample ground for
such belief-they can serve their party
best by declaring SO Immediately. To
do otherwise would make it appear that
the nomination was bestowed grudg-
ingly.
Coy. Dewey for almost two years has
Insisted he was not candidate for the
presidential nomination for 1914. Dur
ing the preconvention campaign he has
not altered this attitude. He has asked
that his name be not entered in presi-
Dental primary elections in various
States and urged Dewey delegates" to
withdraw. In spite of that, however,
the demand for Dewey has persisted.
Where his name has not been entered
in presidential primaries. voters in large
numbers have written his name on the
ballots. For example, in Pennsylvania,
100000 took the trouble to write his
name on the ballots. Dewey-pledged
delegates have been elected in other
States. In still others, State conven-
tions have adopted resolutions urging
his nomination.
A Dewey nomination, therefore, will
be the closest thing to an actual draft"
