Of Food Show Decrease

WASHINGTON, Oct. o. ~
Lend-Lease shipments of food the
first nine months of 1914 were low
er than in 1943, Foreign Economic
Administrator Leo Crowley report
ed today.
The most striking change was in

Crowley said. Smaller proportions
of all other meats were sent
abroad.
A slight increase in the lend

ice GIVES RULING
IN PEANUT CASE

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner has rendered
decision fin ing that freight rates
charged Or peanuts sent by the
Carolina Peanut company from
Wilmington and Hampstead to
northern markets are much high
err and out of line" with those
charged from Enfield and SUI
folk, Va, to the same markets,
Clayton c. Holmes, attorney for
the local company, announced
yesterday.
The decision made by ice Ex-
aminer Claude A. Rice, who re-
Gently held a hearing here on
the cases, shows that the rates
amount to discrimination against
the Wilmington firm and work
hardship upon it in competing with
shippers from other points to the
northern markets, Holmes said.
The local attorney said that Rice
had recommended to the commits
sion that an order be made, fix
ing comparable rates on such SHIP
ments from Wilmington and
Hampstead with those from En-
field and Suffolk.
The Wilmington and Hampstead
freight rates, Holmes explained,
''are double those of Enfield and
Suffolk to northern points, but
they enjoy the same rate to Miami
and Tampa as Wilmington and |
Hampstead"
the action was brought by the
Carolina Peanut company, oper-
ated by ]. F. Howard of Hamp-
stead and w. B. Cooper of Will
minston, against the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad, and other car
riers.
Holmes said that if the ICC
follows Rice's recommendation his
company probably will use the
railroads to Slip approximately
500 carloads of peanuts yeurly
to northern points. In the past,
the firm has been shipping by
motor truck, and before the war
by water.
The Atlantic Coast Line, Holmes
said, favored reduction in the
freight rates but was unable to
obtain agreement from connect
ing carriers.

S. c. HOUSE SEAT
VOTE SET NOV. |

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 28-(R)-
A preferential primary to deter
mine a nominee for congress in
the End district was set today for
Nov. l by an exit aordinary ses-
sion of the State Democratic con-
vention.
After overwhelmingly defeating
a motion to refer the method of
selecting a successor to the late
Rep. H. P. Fulmer Of Orangeburg
to End district delegates, the con-
vention relegated to an eight-man
committee the task of amending
party rules to provide for pri-
mary.
The special committees report
recommending primary next
Wednesday with a second primary.
in the event no candidate receives
majority, for Saturday, was
adopted. A primary or primaries
nominating candidate to fill Full
mer's unexpired term of three
months was ordered held concur
rently with primary for the full
term.
Sentiment for convention nomi-
nation, principally because the
Nov. general election is less than
two weeks away, faded quickly to
a small minority after Governor
DIN D. Johnston declared that
time was sufficient and that nomi-
nation by convention would be
starting the breakdown of our
primary system.
Debate became general and a
half dozen motions were put be-
fore the convention after James
II. Hammond of Richland moved
TO table a motion by Josiah j.
Evans of Marlboro to refer the
choice OF primary or convention
nomination to the second district.
John w. Duncan of Aiken assert
cd this is. solely the second con-
gresslonal districts business" but
j.. d. Poag of Greenville, declar-
ing that convention nomination
would be ''presuming to disenfran-
chlse the people of the district, "
succeeded in getting Hammond S
motlon to a vote after two hours.

F. r. s Determined Effort To Lift Arms
Embargo &own In Pape r OfLate Borah

WASHINGTON. Oct. % Up -
The late Senator William E.
Borah's account of 1889 White
House conference was made pub
lie today, quoting President Roose-
welt as saying eff we could not
do that which would avoid war,
we must go in
Mrs. Borah released the paper
from the Idaho Republicans pri-
vate files. She explained that she
was doing so because of Mr..
Roosevelt's references to her hus-
band in his Philadelphia speech
Friday night. The president said
in his speech that Borah had said
"his own private information from
abroad was better than that of
the State department - and that
there would be no war in Eu-
rope"
The conference was July 10, 1889.
At the time the administration had
asked revision of the Neutrality
Act to lift the embargo on sales
of implements of war to beliger-
ents, but the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee had voted 12-11
rot to consider such legislation
until the following year.
Mr.. Roosevelt invited senate
leaders and leading members of
the committee to the White House.
Gathered there were the president,
Secretary of State Hull, Vice
President Garner, Senate MAORI
ty Leader Barley of Kentucky,
Minority Leader McNary of Ore
gon, and Senators Pittman 3D.
New, Austen (R-VD and Borah.

to day and am sure he would
change his opinion
"Borah replied:
AS to the matter of whether
or not we are going to have war,
l care little about dispatches. They
would not govern me in the mat
ter of legislation. Too many things
enter into the question of war
and what will bring on war for
men to be governed by the dis
patches of the State department.
l myself have gone to great eff
fort to secure information from diff
ferent sources "
Borah quoted the president as
recounting his previous efforts to
maintain peace at the time Of
Munich and on other occasions
and continuing:
Il have been prepared hereto
fore to deal with the situation, but
l have no more cartridges in my
belt. I must have this authority
to deal with ornaments and mu-
nitions.'
The discussion continued, Borah
related, until finally Garner said
it was necessary to be practical,
turned to Barley and asked:
"Old top. have you got enough
votes up there to pass a neutrali-
ty bill at this session. and kind
of a neutrality bill?"
He said Barley replied: Il
don't think SO. am sure we
haven't"
The upshot was that the legis-
lators declined to press the bill
and the president said, so Borah
related, that he intended to fix the
responsibility publicly.

''Bill Of Rights
The chief executive repeated and
Reimbursed an economic bill G
rights" which he first laid before
congress last January, and added:
ITO assure the full realization
OF the right to a useful and re-
munerative employment, an ade-
quate program must provide Amer
lea with close to 100000 pro-
ductive jobs
He proposed that government do
its part in helping private enter
prise finance plant expansion
through normal investment chan
nels.
Voicing confidence that foreign
trade can be trebled after the war
and provide millions of jobs, the
president said that the demand
for industrial and farm production
must be increased not only at home
but also abroad. Never again, he
said must I'VE in the United States
attempt to isolate ourselves from
the rest of humanity
Mr.. Roosevelt came to Chicago
at the end of a day-long train
trip across the prairies country of
Ohio and Indiana, where he wav-
ed to potential voters and spoke
briefly at Fl. Wayne, Ind.
He came here to give an eco.
nomic credo:
II believe in free enterprise -
and always have.
II believe in the profit system
and always have.
Il believe that private enter
prise can give full employment to
our people,
And, he said, if any one feels
his faith in Americas ability to
provide 100000 peace-time jobs
is fantastic, he should remember
some people said the same thing
about his 1910 demand for $4,000
airplanes.
Production and price controls
Will be lifted. he promised, as soon
as they are no longer needed, to
encourage private business to pro-
duce more under conditions of free
and open competition.
Wage and salary restrictions, he
SAID, were necessary to prevent
runaway initiation but after the war
ne pledged, 1--WE shall of course re-
move the control of wages and
leave their determination to free
collective bargaining between trade
unions and employers.
