NEW RAILROAD COMING TO
COUNTY, SAYS RUMOR

While it is only a rumor with
no foundation as yet, citizens Of
Clintwood and surrounding sec
tons are getting ready for the
coming of the new railroad up
Cranesnest to Lick Fork.
The rumor goes that the C&O,
which was to build from Jenkins
to the Lick Fork section, has
withdrawn its opposition a n d
that the Clinchfield Railroad
from Fremont up Cranesnest
would be built However, t h e
State Corporation Commission
has given no decision on the two
applications for a charter and
nothing is certain.
1t was stated by a Clinchfield
representative that w. M. Lam
bert, who is handling the right
of-way end for the company has
been given the go ahead signal
and is now closing all options
preparatory to actual construc-
ton work.
In anticipation Of the expected
boom, local people are revising
property prices, and John De-
'loach plans ii new hotel for the
town with possibly forty rooms,
but may revise his plans and
erect a larger building.

HOW TO DETECT A Mine FIELD
ON The ROAD TO PEACE
By FEEDER ATED PRESS

| ity" added to it. All of these seeming
ly righteous reservations and objec-
lions to Dumbarton Oaks are mine
fields that could blow up the road to
peace.
It's true that the five great powers
the United States, Great Britain, the
U. S. S. R., China and France-have
greater role in the new organization
that the rest of the nations. They have
permanent seats in the security coun-
Gill; which has the final power to en-
force the peace. They also have the
power to veto any economic and mill
tary sanctions taken by that body,
since the voting procedure agreed
upon at Yalta demands unanimity of
the Big Five.
But it's also true that all nations
are not equal in their power to pre-
vent war. The main responsibility for
keeping the peace must necessarily
rest on the United States, Russia,
Britain, who will come out of this
war with far greater physical, mill
tary and economic strength than the
rest of the nations.
Power in itself is fact that has to

With the casualty lists of this war
getting bigger every day, no one right
now dares to come out openly against
a plan to prevent future wars.
But there are still some isolation
lists left in this country who will try
to get the United States senate to
defeat Dumbarton Oaks. Not many,
but they're powerful because they are
supported by large part of the news
papers and radio. They are the peo-
pie who talk about "an American CEN
tury''--who think the United States
is going to come out of this war so
powerful it can rule the world its own
way without bothering about what
happens to the other nations.
These people will say they're all for
world peace, they believe in interna-
tionaI cooperation, in fact that they
believe in it even more than the rest
of us. And that's why they object to
certain features of what Dumbarton
Oaks proposes.
They scream about power politics
and spheres of influence, they say
Dumbarton Oaks would destroy ma
tional sovereignty, that it doesn't give
small nations an equal break, that it's
too harsh to the present enemy ma
