PARIS, Sept. 17-U.H-Yugo-
slavia threatened Tuesday that II
will refuse to sign the Italian peace
treaty if the compromise French
line is adopted as the Italian-Yugo-
slav frontier.
Alex Bebler Of the Yugoslav
delegation told the Italian political
commission, "if the French line is
included in the peace treaty, we
will not sign it."
The French line was agreed upon
by the Big Four as part Of the
plan creating a free zone around
Trieste. Yugoslavia demands all Of
Venezia Guilia, including Trieste.
Bebler said the French line
gives "a strategic advantage te
yesterdays enemy, Italy, to the
deteriment Of Mondays all
Yugoslavia."
Yugoslavia is being treated like
a defeated country, Bebler said
and the Yugoslav people never
would understand how their gov
eminent could approve "suca in

Your telephone rate is low and it is the earnest desire
of your Telephone Company to keep it low.
While your rate has remained the same for many years,
the total cost Of furnishing telephone service has steadily
gone up. Since 1871 our expenses for North Carolina
operations have Increased more than lO2 per cent, While
revenues increased only 76 per cent.
Wages Up $2,311,415
Much of the increase in expenses is represented by wages,
since wages make up the greater part Of the cost Of fur
nishing telephone service. In keeping with the general
trend of wage increases throughout the country and to
assure through competent personnel the provision Of an
adequate service, telephone wage rates have been raised
$2,311,415 in North Carolina in the past II months.
Since the first of this year, $4,000 new telephones have
been installed in North Carolina, but $4,000 people are
still waiting for telephones. This demand forces us to
build new facilities now, in the face Of high costs. The
cost of erecting buildings has jumped Is to 100 per cent;
the cost Of erecting telephone facilities is up IS to 60
per cent and the cost of telephone materials has increased
Is to rs per cent. Despite these high costs we must
continue to improve telephone service generally, and to
expand it. Our plans call for gross expenditures Of ap-
proximately $40, ooo,o 900 for telephone construction in
North Carolina during the next five years.
Pay-Out Is Increasing Faster Than Take-In
With the tremendous increase in the expense of furnish
ing telephone service and with rates unchanged for years,
we telephone folks, and there are over 1890 of us in the
State, have had a difficult time making ends meet. So
much SO, that today we find ourselves confronted with
the Lowest earnings IN our history in spite of a record
volume of business.
No business can long continue to render service when
the amount paid out to provide that service is increasing
faster than the amount taken in. Therefore, it is our duty,
as your public servant, to report this condition to you
