Cooperation

The tobacco industry faces more
serious problems this season than in
several years. Chief among them are
labor shortages, differences of opinion
as to acreage quotas and instability of
foreign markets.
Despite this not-so-bright outlook, it

charity, but I see nc other way to
overcome the difficulty. Besides do
not forget that you are dealing with
wal : victims, people whose farm
Houses have severely been damag-
ed, or completely burnt down, their
land inundated, some Of them fl
nancially ruined to the core, and so
on. Naturally, the Dutch Govern
ment is going to lend them some
support, but they realize too well,
that it means a very slow process
of help; furthermore, their main
market, Germany, is lost, while
England is permitting only some
small quantities of their crop being
imported. In short, their future
does not look too bright, otherwise
they would not be considering leav-
ing the soil which their ancestors
have worked for generations.
I quite agree with you that the
question of colonization is a very
comprehensive one and should be
looked at from different angles.
First of all is the matter of having
a committee visit the land in ques-
ton and having funds to finance
this investigation trip. Are there
Wilmingtonians who seem inclined
to form the body as suggested?
l do not see much use in talking
about sending delegates over to
Wilmington and making these peo-
pie feel happy that a solution may
be ahead of them, when after all
the interest at your end proves to
be insufficient to come TO any de-
cisive action. I shall be glad tc
hear the reaction of your editorial
in Wilmington and hope soon to re.
ceive word from you again.

each striving for the advantage in over
all tobacco operations.
This spirit has been made into ma
terial form through a joint committee,
with equal representation from the
three groups, that has become the in
dustry's policy-making body. 1t deals
with such matters as opening dates for
auction markets, fixing hours and guam
titles of leaf on sales, consideration OF
market" holidays and other vital ques-
tons.
Although this group has little legal
authority, it exercises tremendous in
fluence. While it is primarily a commit
tee to effect coordination, it also pro-
vides strong protection for the farm
ers' interests. It gives him a new safe
guard, better opportunity to formally
air his differences among leaders of
other groups in the tobacco business.
Adoption of this arrangement of
joint committees could we'll be carried
to other divisions of agriculture to the
advantage of all concerned.

Colonization Proposal

An invitation to Wilmingtonians or
other Southeastern North Carolinians
to sponsor financially the possible be-
ginning of another Dutch colony in this
section is published in the form of a
Letter to the Editor on this page today.
The communication is from Owen M.
de Munnick, of Amsterdam, Holland. 1t
is the second we've received from him.
The first dealt with the proposed migra-
ton of a combination Of 800 Dutch
families, all victims Of the war, to this
country. An article by Mayor w. Ronald
Lane published in an issue of the Sun
day Star-News had attracted his atten-
ton and he was interested in this areas
possibilities for colonization.
In our answer to that letter, W. sug-
gested that the first step should be the
sending of a committee here to investi-
gate all problems connected with the
proposal. Mr.. de Munnick seconds this
idea, but discloses the financial obstacle
that persons leaving Holland are allow
ed to take but $40 in capital. The costs
of the trip would, as Mr.. de Munnick
explains, have to be financed by in
terested persons in the United States.
We will continue to maintain that
the colonization proposal is a good one,
especially in view of contributions made
to the community by the Dutch settlers
of Castle Haynes, st. Helena and Van
Eeden or Individually nearer the city.
We consider them among our best citi-
Tens and their accomplishments are an
inspiration to any group, from Holland
or elsewhere, in planning to carve out
a new and secure life.
Because our background on the cur
rent proposal is limited to MIR. de Mum
hicks letters, we can make ne recon-
mendation on his new suggestion for
financial assistance. It is but one of
many pfODlemS MS group Will nave 10
overcome.
But his proposition is certainly worth
presenting with an appeal for con-
sideration by anyone interested in
making a new life available to these
wal victims, as we'll as leading toward
greater agricultural development of
Southeastern North Carolina.

To the Editor:
I wish to express my gratitude
for your letter Of June 18th with
enclosure and the manner in which
you have been displaying your in
terest.
I certainly agree with your pro-
posal to send a committee for first
hand on = the = ground investigation
and of course / shall gladly en-
deavor to have this arranged, but
there are some difficulties to be
considered first, which l had better
place before you at once
AS you will undoubtedly be aware
of, We live here under a mass of
restrictions and all sorts of red
tape. I presume it is to a certain
extent the same in the U.S.A. Any
one permitted to journey to Ameri-
ca is allowed to take only $10,--
with him, therefore only those who
have business relations. or funds in
America, are able to undertake the
journey.
Capital export is strictly forbid
den in whatever way. With otner
words: he who has some capital
at hand in Holland, must leave it
behind, should he wish to settle
abroad. This restriction makes it
imperative, that funds are being
placed It the disposal Of the set
tiers when arriving in the U.S.A.
In regard to this restriction ii is
also necessary, that the costs Of
the trip Of the investigating dele
gates be financed from your side.
My suggestion would be this. Il
there r Wilmingtonians interest
ed in the plan, could they not ere
ate a sort Of body to finance this
suggested trip to Wilmington? II

tonight before they succeeded in

They also ordered II Slav leaders

The proclamation said the strike
was illegal because it was called or

strike prevented the unloading o.

The News
BY J.. M. ROBERTS, Jr.
AP Foreign Affairs ANALYST

Despite Mr.. Molotov's b~ackdova
last night on plans for the 2l-Na,
tons Peace conference, recent de-
velopments as a whole seem 10
bear out the word that is going
around that Russia is definitely
working toward an accord with ths
United States.
This is particularly bolstered BY
a new report that the Krsmli1
may not press, at least To- the
time being, its ancient ambition
regarding the Dardanelles.
AS the story reaches me-and the
source is usually a good one
British and American diplomatg
were not surprised when Molotov
suddenly agreed at Paris to give
the Dodeconese islands to Greece
in spite Of previous indications
that the Russians would demand
bases there.
The story is that, prior TO the
conference, the Russians asked
the British to indicate to Turkey
that now would be a good tina "a
renegotiate the Russo-Turk.sh
treaty Of friendship which Moscow
had been saying must be revised.
The Turkish reaction is repor ed
to have been IF they want to talk
about taking or using an inch q
Turkish ground for any purpose,
there is no use talking at all"
Then Russia is said to have add
ed, in effect: tell them to make
a move anyway. Maybe things
aren't as bad as they think" Thus
indicating that there might be no
i~nsistence on the cession of Dar-
danelles bases and some territory
in northeastern Turkey previously
mentioned in Russian statements,
The Dodecanese and Italian Colo
MES over which she also stopped
contending would OF course, mean
nothing to Russia if her Dardanel-
les program is to be shelved.
There are other things tying with
the report published in this column
last week that Stain feels Russia
needs little more, internationally
speaking, and that an accord secur-
ity, and that an accord with
America has become a priority
policy.
What the hitch may become over
the peace conference is not quite
clear-apparently something came
up to make the Russians wish they
had not moved quite 50 fast. Aside
from this, everything in the past
fortnight fits into the picture drawn
by the news reports-the Italian
treaty, the original agreement on
the peace conference, the general
atmosphere in Paris, Gromyko's
compromise on procedure in the
atomic control discussions, and the
reinsurance OF the new Russian
ambassador at Washington that
RUSSIA will never start a war
against the United States or any
one else"
Probably m Of the most peril
nent comments Of all was that by
t Yugoslavia's deputy premier, Ed
5 ward Kardelj, after Molotov's ac-
ceptance of the Trieste compro-
mise. Kardelj said it was unaccept-
able to his country, but that the
t Soviets had done everything in
, their power to aid Yugoslavia and
Mr.. Molotov apparently didn't
) want to deadlock the conference
by opposing the French proposal"
I If he does not spoil the record now
regarding the peace conference
the situation should be much cas-

FIGHTING WEEDS

Every gardner and every farmer is familiar with the prob
lem of weeds and even the business man who annually has the
task of moving his own yard and keeping it in condition is
conscious of the problem. 1t is encouraging, then, to learn Of
the great progress which has been made in recent years in the
control of weeds, says the Observation-Disclosures. The eighth
annual weed control meeting for the western states in Reno
Nevada, brought real hope for adequate weed control in the
future.
The crop damage which weeds cause each year runs into
hundreds of millions of dollars. No matter what crop is rails
ed, weeds are a problem and in unnumbered cases have re-
suited in complete abandonment of fields after crops have been
put in.
Intensive work in recent years by agricultural schools, ex-
tension services, state services, state agriculture departments
and leading chemical companies has resulted in advancement
in weed control
Experts at the weed conference told listeners that a new
herbcide, "a D, gives unusual promise for weed control, and rs
effective on weeds most commonly found on lawns. Proper
application of this new control chemical will not damage the
grass but will eradicate dandelions and other noxious weeds.
And while this is good news to urban jewellers, chemical con-
troll of weeds is vastly more important to farmers.
Row-crop farmers know now that through application, at
the proper time, of sprays and dusts they can effectively elmi-
nate many weeds which formerly were killed by the slow and
costly process of hand wedding. Other chemicals, applied
either as dust or spray, will control insect pests which cause
untold damage to both row and field crops.
The remarkable part about the chemical attack upon weeds
is that the cost is relatively low.
