Speaker Gives Views
On Russian Attitude
In New World Order
Gerhart H. Seger, Journalist and
Native German, Now L. S.
Citizen, Speaks At Rotary
Forum

That Russia was somewhat I'M
practicable as a contributor to a new
world order following this global con-
flict, but that the tendency was
plainly for cooperation with other AL
lied nations, was outlined on Tuesday
evening by Gerhart H. Seger, of New
York City, at the second forum of the
Institute of International Under
standing, held under the sponsorship
of the Oakland Rotary club.
However, he also pointed out that
Stain, Russia's leader, was also pre-
pared to go his way alone and main
tain his country's status by force, if
other nations did not offer guarantees
Of world peace.
Approximately three hundred per-
sons were present to hear Mr.. Segers
address in the high school auditorium
and Mr.. Seger also spoke to the high
school students during the afternoon
He also spoke to groups at Grants
vile on Monday.
Admitting that Russia was most
ticklish subject for discussion the
speaker presented a number of facts
about Russia and its growth since
1905 when there was a split in the
socialist party and the first revolu-
ton, although unsuccessful, attempt,
ed against the Czarist regime.
He asserted that several great
strides had been made in the field OF
human endeavor by Russia since the
Bolshevists had come into power III
1920, giving as two examples, in the
trialization of Russia. Prior to 1920

Congress In Revolt
Against Roosevelt

Confronted with flaming revolt in
Congress, President Roosevelt last
night pleaded with Alben W. Bark
ley not to 90 through with his resig-
nation as majority leader of the Sen
ate.
In a history-making speech earlier
in the day, Barley, longtime Admin
istratiOn wheelhOrse, had broken with
the President and announced his res
ignation as leader in a bitter protest
against the veto Of the two billion
dollar tax bill.
Barkley's speech was a symptom Of
spreading rebellion in the Senate over
the veto message in which the Prcsi-
dent called the tax bill much too small
and said it was a relief bill for the
greedy
In the House, Rep. Doughton d.
N. c. 80-year-old chairman Of the
taX-writing Ways and Means COM
mittee, declared in effect that the
President was asking Congress to ac-
cept dictation. That is "where I part
company with the President of the
United States" said Doughton.
Many other members joined Bark
ley and Doughton in their stand and
administration men freely predicted
that the veto would be overridden.

Food Reserves OF
Nation Discussed
At Board Meeting
Southern States Plans Twelve
Million Dollar Postwar Pro-
gram, Representative Says

A postwar expansion program
which will require an estimated $12,-
100000 of capital was explained by
H. P. Martin, of Richmond Va, di-
rector in information service, at a
dinner meeting of the regional board
of the Southern States Cooperative
last Thursday evening in the William
James hotel.
Ballots were distributed to directors
who voted on policies of the company
in regard to stock, reserves and per
ccntages.
In the light of recent experience
the fiscal program is expected to in
crease net worth about 81 5000 a
year, it was stated. In his talk Martin
emphasized significant facts about the
overall food situation which con-
frontcd farmers and the nation.
Food Reserves Depleted
81. Notwithstanding seven goo d
crop years in row our grain re-
serves, and food reserves generally,
are 50 depleted as to be practically
nonresident. If our run of good luck
on weather should end this year, we
do not have the feed and food reserves
to tide the country over. a bad grow
ing season in 1914 would be a worse
catastrophe than Pearl Harbor

PLANT SALE
 HUGE SUCCESS

The Home Arts Club plant sale held on Saturday at Lehmann's Store was a huge success. It was surprising how many people wish ed to purchase a plant to beautify their hom. The many people who contributed potted plants and slips and made the sale possible are to be thanked not only by the committee in charge but by those who purchased the flowers. The proceeds will all go toward the playfield fund, which is the civic project of the club, which is member of the National Wom- ems Federation. Chairman of the committee was Mrs. Kenneth Rank who was ably assisted by Mrs. Frank Bingham, Mrs. Duke Nit rovich, Mrs. H. J. S. Morrison, Mrs. Lloyd Peterson and Mrs. Vernon Booker.

 The Chairman of the cornittee, MT. A. L.
