VlNS0N ENDORSES
LOAN TO BRITAIN

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 24-P)-
Secretary of the Treasury Fred M.
Vinson told the North Carolina
Press association that agreements
of a proposed $3.50, 100000 loan
to England, will be a big step in
preventing economic warfare"
He discussed the world economic
advantages of such an interest
bearing loan and said sit will also
also be big step in creating a
world in which countries live and
work together in peace and pros
perity.
For England it will mean a
chance to feed her people and re.
convert her industries in world
Of expanding in trade. For the
United States 1t will mean the
opening of the markets of our best
customers, England and all the
countries of the British Empire
and the sterling area, to the prod
ucts of our factories and farms.
For the south it will mean the
stimulation of the great industrial
development which now beckons.
Gust as there cannot be nation
al prosperity in the United States
without international prosperity
there cannot be that great econo.
mic development of the south
without general prosperity in the
United States and the world. For
all countries it will mean a chance
to reconstruct war-shattered
world with expanding trade, great
employment and higher standards
of living.
"The alternative is as unhappier
as it is clear. If England cannot
secure the financial assistance Of
this loan, she will have to take
drastic steps to curtal her i'm
ports and force her sales on Other
countries. This means that Eng
land and the countries that de
pend on England's currency anc
trade-the sterling area countrie!
would reduce their purchases il
the United States and in the dol
lar area. Our exports would b.
excluded as far as possible from
British markets. Britain would
enter into bilateral agreements
with countries in Europe anc
South America, offering to SWAP
her manufactures for their fooo
and raw materials. Such a policy
would inevitably divide the world
into conflicting economic blocs.
Il have no doubt we could de
fend ourselves. We would hav,
to fight fire with fire. We woul,
be forced to retaliate. We woulc
set UP restrictions and discrimina
tons Of our own. In blum
language, the world would be a
war-econonic war. And II We
won, at best we would win a sorry
victory. World trade would be
destroyed and all countries woule
suffer-
That, Vinson said, would not b
the kind of world the people want
"Our basic goal is to establish
world in which countries can liv,
and work together in peace an,
prosperity. Two world wars ant
a worldwide depression hav,
taught this generation the bite
lesson that there is no other roa,
to peace-there is no other roae
to prosperity except through in
ternational cooperation. The poll
teal and economic problems o,
the world cannot continue to bt
solved by force. That road lead
to destruction.

These differences of attitude
have significant bearing on the
future of both political parties.

Young pepole become eligible to

Young people turn out at the polls.
their vote of almost two-to-one
Democratic would be enough to
offset substantial detection
among cider persons.
Republican strategists can take
some comfort from the fact that
eventually they do win a larger
proportion of these voters-after
they have passed the 30-year
mark, as can be seen from the
table presented above. AS people
grow older, they tend to become
more conservative. AS they be-
come more conservative, more Of
them become Republicans.
Republicans can also take COM
fort from the fact that older peo-
pie turn out in greater proportion
at the polls on election days than
younger people. This fact is in
especial evidence in off-year or
Congressional elections, such as
the elections Of this year.
Be that as it may, it would ap.
pear that the Republican cam
paigns in 1916 and 1913, and the
choice Of G. o. P. nominee for
president, will have to take cog.
nizance Of the need to win young
voters.
This is not a new problem for
the Republican party. 1t has been
present in all recent elections. In
the presidential voting of 1886,
1910 and 1914 the young people
those under 80 years of age
went Democratic by humping
majorities.
In the older age group-5C
years and over-political senti.

Old Jed's home looked
like all the others on
the street. Why, then,
was it worth SO much?
A Short Short Story

laurel STREET wasn't like any other street
IL in Hamilton You couldn't say just why;
whether it was because the little patches of
front lawns were so trinity kept; or because
back of the houses the gardens grew greener,
the vegetable rows straighter and the little
crops more lush But there was shining,
outstanding pride in every one of the ten
cottages that made up the block.
People were always coming into the Acme
Realty and asking about Laurel Street; or
when Bill Brent took them out in his red con-
vertible, they'd point out houses on that
street and say, WED like something just
like that"
Houses for sale in any section of Hamilton
were 50 scarce that Bill Brent had his hands
both full and empty. 1t could have been
golden time for both Bill and the Acme
Realty; but only occasionally would an owner
let 60 of his property, and then only because
he was moving to some other city. Bill had
sold only one house on Laurel Street, the one
belonging to the McHugh family. He sold
it on the very same day that Jim McHugh
had let him in on the news of his transfer to
Texas.
1t was while showing the McHugh house,

that Bill got his idea about old Jed Hawkins
house, which was right next door.
He did some quick thinking, and right
away he began campaign to get old Jed to
sell his house too. He didn't 60 about it
crudely; a thing like this took lots of time and
patience. Most important of all, he knew that
before you could get an old fellow like Jed to
make up his mind, he had to have confidence
in you and in what you told him.
The first time Bill Brent had called on Jed
in his home, he had looked about the small
house in surprise. 1t was spotless, sweet SMELL
ing and homelike Not at all what he'd ex-
pected of an old mans house.
Il think you're holding out on me-" he
marveled "You must have housekeeper
hidden around here
Nope" Jed laughed, his eyes pleased.
do it all myself. keep it just like ELY did.
had good teacher in her. There wasn't
anyone who could keep house and cook like
ELY. I've carried on here 50 that if she was to
walk in, it would be all ready for her, just
like she'd never left it."
THIS was sentimental ground, and Bill was
wary of sentiment; but now he had to say,
because old Jed seemed to be expecting it,
How long ago since you lost her?"
Five years ago this spring." Jed answered
softly. WED lived in Hamilton ever since
we were married, and that would be almost
fifty years ago; but we built this place just
two years before she died. Before that we'd
had big old barn of a house; but we sold it.
This place was exactly what Elly'd always
wanted But tell you. young fellow, at that
time Laurel Street wasn't like it is now -
not then"
How do you mean?" Bill asked.

for little ride around town. He'd always be
very concerned about Jed's health, and hold
out the bait of the easy life in the hotel. =.
And double your money. Now is the time
to sell. >. You'll never have another chance
like this Always arguments like that.
HE McHughs moved out and the new own
ers wrote that they were coming. Their goods
would be arriving on Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning Bill drove down
Laurel Street and saw the van unloading. He
made up his mind that now was the time to
clinch matters with old Jed. New people
moving next door, change in other lives and
50 on; this was the psychological time to sign
Jed up. He'd played along with him now for
about month. He had the old boys conf
dence. In fact, he had more than his conf
dence, for Jed had learned to depend on
Bills word.
And Bill knew that once he got Jed to
agree, sale was as good as made, for there
were two people sitting right in the hotel
aching to see the house wanting to buy it
right away. The commission was as good as
if it we're already in Bills pocket.

well, for one thing" Jed said as he sat
putting contentedly on his old pipe, nobody
around here was any good with gardening.
Gardening comes natural to me, like love to
the young. Then ELY - we'll we both liked
folks. Some people on this street weren't
on speaking terms when we came. But now
- well don't know how to explain it, Mr..
Brent, but for long time now there's been
a certain new spirit on Laurel Street. Maybe
you'd call it neighborliness. Maybe it's just
plain caring about each other Il don't
know"
This would be an awfully good time to
sell your place" Bill said casually. Selling
it just now, you can come out far ahead.

out in the pine rocking

Up in the green foliage
there were small round
