Washington, D. c., (NWNS).-Of-
ficials here have stopped making
guesses for publication about when
the war will end. They realize that
they made costly mistake when
they predicted that it would end in
1914 and that they are largely to
blame for the relaxed attitude on the
part of the public which resulted. 1t
has taken lot of time and effort to
repair the results of those predic-
tions.
So now, when any officials of the
army, navy or administration dis
cuss the subject at all, they take
what appears to be an over-pessimis-
tic attitude. This Was evident in the
testimony before the senate military
affairs committee on the National
Service act. 1t was evident when Sec
Ietary of War Stimson said that re-
cent Allied victories didn't lessen in
any respect the need for the drafting
of labor And it was evident again
when Undersecretary of War Patter-
son told of the urgent need for 900,-
900 more men in the army before
July l.
AS the Allies roll up new victories
the people in our country can't help
but feel that the war in Europe will
end soon-but they are no longer en-
couraged to think that way by the
men in the know. Whether the labor
draft is absolutely necessary or not
which seems to be a very debatable
question-our war chiefs want it to
go through to help build morale
among the soldiers on the fighting
fronts. If the National Service act
does pass the government will not be
required to put all young men in es-
sential industry, but will have the
power to take those they need be-
tween the ages of Is and As.
Until the war is over we will never
know just what President Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain talked about and
how much agreement there was on
postwar plans. But it is evident that
they do agree on the handling of the
final battle of Europe-which is the
most important thing at the moment.
And there is definitely a more op-
timistic attitude among administra-
ton officials over our relationship
with Russia. Some who feared that
Stain might want to have the upper
hand in deciding how the many prob
lens of postwar Europe would be
handled, now seem to feel that he is
anxious to cooperate in arriving at
agreements which will be favored by

"ONLY THE STRONG CAN
BE FREE"

Before the war, a favorite
topic of discussion was the
danger involved when govern
ment lived beyond its income.
In these days, a billion-dollar-
deficit in the Federal budget
brought cries of alarm from
every corner of the nation. A
thirty or forty-billion-dollar
Federal debt was considered
ominously big. Now we have
a debt many times that, and
the annual deficit is a breath
taking fifty or sixty billion.
Yet, few even bother mention
ing it, and fewer still express
alarm. However, this should
delude no one into believing
that the fears of former days
were groundless.
Figures now show that bank
deposits, notes in circulation
and public debt in the United
The Lincoln times., 1945-02-16

States. have far outstripped
similar figures for France and
Belgium, from the standpoint
.of percentage increases dur
ing the war. We think of
France and Belgium as on the
verge of financial collapse. So
where does that leave US?
The things that can save
this country from the financial
plight of Europe are its nat
ural resources and great pro-
ductive capacity. The combi-
nation of these two can devel-
op enough commerce, enough
jobs, and enough income to
support a great debt. But we
must not forget that, while our
wealth in the form of natural
resources is an act of provi-
dence, the tools to exploit
these resources were devel-
oped by enterprising men.
The industries of oil, power,
mining, transportation and
farming, as we know them in
this country, came from the
work and organization of in
dividuals, they are called pri-
vate enterprises. AS long as
they remain private enterpris-
es, they will continue to ex-
pand and grow in the future as
they have in the past. If given
the opportunity, they will
bring new strength to America
for America is young nation.
Her people and her industries
can overcome the problems of
gigantic war debt.
Our greatest hazard is that
through fear of the effects OF
debt and initiation on prices,
we will abandon freedom in
favor of permanent strait
jacket regulation and a plan
ned lowered standard of liv-
ing-regulation that will lead
to oppression, destruction OF
private enterprise and eventu-
ally our ability to produce.
We should remember that
fear can destroy freedom. We
should also remember, now as
never before. the words of a
great statesman who warned
that only the strong can be
free and only the productive
can be strong.

ATTACK ON VITAMINS.

When we think about all the
people in our town, and every
other town, who have been
buying quantities of vitamin
tablets and tonics in order to
handle the battle with life
more easily, it is rather shock
ing to realize that much of
our vitamin diet may have
been pure waste.
This was revealed recently
in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association which
reported a study of the bene-
fits of vitamins. In the study,
made at Duke University, sew
eral groups of volunteers were
fed a normal American diet,
plus pills. Some of the pills
contained vitamins, while 9th
ers were just dummies. And,
the report states, when the
tests were concluded those
who received the dummy vita
minis were just as healthy as
those who received real vita
minis.
The report points out that
vitamins are of the utmost inn
portance to those who are de-
ficient in them, but questions
whether there is any justifica-
ton in the sale of vitamins to
those who do not have defic-
iency.
Although the report may be
a little disturbing, we recon-
mend taking it with a grain of
salt. For there is no indication
that vitamin treatments hurt
us-and there is always the
possibility that We may have
a deficiency which can be
helped. Too many of us have
faith in vitamins to let that
faith be destroyed by a mere
scientific study.

Local Camp Woodmen
Of World Qualified For
Honorable M ention

Maple Camp No As. Woodmen of
the World, of Lincolnton, has been no.
titled by Farrar Newberry, national
president, that it is qualified as one
of the fifty camps for honorable men,
tion in the Woodmen's Society Fra
ternity in Action" contest in 1914.
Fifty camps were selected as most
outstanding in the amount and quail
ity of civil and fraternal activities
they carried on last year. Although
the Maple Camp did not qualify
among the first fifty, the contest was
so close that the judges awarded it
honorable mention, and the local
camp will receive a fraternal service
certificate of merit in recognition of
its outstanding work among 5000
Woodmen camps participating in the
contest.
The camps were scored on the
scope and quality of their fraternal
activities which included meetings
held for members and special meet
ings open to the public and their av-
erage attendance, the service they
rendered to members in illness or dis
tress, the contributions and services
to outside charities and the civic ac-
tivities in which they participated.
Patriotic activities such as war bond
purchases, donation of blood to their
local blood banks, scrap salvage, Red
Cross, USO, Community Chest, Navy
and Army Relief and other civic
drives and activities also were con-
sidered.
Maple Camp ranked high in many
of these fraternal and civic activities
and is expected to make an even bet
ter record in 1915 as the Fraternity
in Action program mcontinues.

A HEALTHY NATIONALISM

Americans are fully aware
of their importance as a ma
ton. We realize our response
bility as a world power. More
over, we have a strong ma
tional pride in our country as
the land of opportunity and
freedom. All of our traditions
and ideals are founded on
these beliefs.
However, there is a great
difference between our ma
tionalism and the kind of ma
tionalism which has been
looming its ugly head for CEN
turies in Europe. We have a
healthy pride in what the Uni
ted States is planning and do
ing for the people. In Europe
the nationalism is based on
fear and belligerent pride.
Each country, large or small
alike, is afraid that her neigh
Dor will violate a boundary or
encroach upon some petty
law. The maintaining of the
balance of power is behind
each move in European poll
tics. Therefore, European ma
tionalism has always been of
dangerous and warlike varie-
ty.
We may be grateful for our
geographical location that
keeps us apart from this petty
nationalism. There is no other
nation that is so we'll prac-
ticed in the art of mixing va
ried races and creeds and
making it work successfully.
This country is living exam
pie for the peace table of how
heterogeneous groups can live
together harmoniously.

Tips On Setting
Strawberry Crop

Many communitie in North Caro-
lima are planning to set Strawberries
this spring, with 100 to 200 plants
for each family in the community,
so as to provide an abundance of
small fruit and give more variety to
the average diet.
Orders for all plants are pooled
and shipments are made to some per-
son who is centrally located. County
and home agents of the Extension
Service plan to follow the crops
in those sections that are instituting
these cooperative projects.
The favored varieties to be planted
are Massey and Blakemore, with the
Premier and Dorsett being used in
some sections of Western North
Carolina, according to H. R. Mis-
wonger, in charge off Extension hor-
ticulture at State College. Eastern
growers will set not later than March
and those in the western section dur
ing March and April, after the period
of freezing and thawing has passed.
Niswonger suggests that the plants
be set two feet apart, in three-foot
rows. When the plant arrive from
the nursery, the roots should be
kept moist by spreading the plants
and covering them with wet sacks.
He also suggests that the plants
be set with the crown level with the
soil. When the plants are set too
shallow, the roots dry out and the
plant dies. If the crown is set too
deep and is covered with dirt, the
plants do not make much growth
and often die.
The roots need to be spread in set

all of the leading nations. Perhaps
the greatest achievement of the con-
ference is to end all hope among the
Nazis of splitting the United Ma
tions.
Action by the house to vote on the
George bill, to split the department
of commerce ard the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, before the SEN
ate acts on the appointment of Hen
ry Wallace as secretary of COM
merce probably means that Mr.. Wal
lace will win congressional approval
for that office. Opponents of Mr.,
Wallace had hoped, either in the SEN
ate or house, to defeat this appoint
ment by voting on Mr.. Wallace's
nomination while the RFC still was
part of the commerce department
There is still some chance that Mr.
Wallace will be defeated, but since
the appointment is so closely allied
with political manipulations, it is be-
heved probable that Mr.. Wallace
won the secretaryship when his sup
porters managed to get both houses
of congress to act on the George bill
first.
One of the most important sub
jects before Congress at the present
moment is that of recruiting nurses
for the armed forces. No matter
when the war in Europe may end
the shortage of nurses will continue
to be critical unless some steps are
taken to recruit those who will moi
enlist voluntarily. DR.. Thomas Par
ran, U. S. Surgeon General, ha.
urged congress to include profes
sional nurses in the selective serv
ice system.
