a summer day each year for sew
eral years.
Talon tried also to control the
fur trade by issuing licenses to
those who were permitted to buy
furs from the Indians. 1t was diff
ficult, however, to keep track Of
the traders. Many young men
went off to live among the Indi-
ans. They were called coureurs
de bois, or wood runners. Soon
there were scores Of coureurs de
bois following the Indians to the
hunting-grounds, and bringing
their own cargoes of furs down
the river.
During this period. the colony
also was served by a famous gov
ernor, Count Louis de Frontenac,
who came to New France in 1872.
He quickly set about completing
the defenses of the colony. BY
carrying his line Of protecting
forts westward to Lake Ontario,
Frontenac safeguarded the whole
length of the ST. Lawrence River
against I-oquois attack. He also
made treaties with Indian tribes.

In voicing this nations view, Dele

NEW FRANCE FIGHTS THE
IROQUOIS

Yesterdays article told Of the
first French settlements in the St.
Lawrence Valley in Canada, of
the establishment of the fur trade
with Huron Indians, and of the
explorations of the fur traders
ana missionaries who ventured
far into the interior Of North
America.
These promising beginnings OF
New France were almost Destroy
ed by the fierce Indian wars be-
tween 1910 and 1850. During this
period. the Iroquois from north
ern New York fell upon the trade
routes and the settlements of the
Hurons with fury and determina-
ton. The French tried to protect
the friendly Hurons, who still
tried to bring furs eastward to
Quebec. the chief trading post.
In 1912, the French founded a
western trading post at Montreal.
The Iroquois, however, struck at
the Hurons farther west. By 1850,
all their villages in the country
known as Huronia (between Lake
Ontario and Lake Huron) had
been destroyed, and the Hurons
themselves had been killed or a
ried into captivity. The Jesuit
missions in Huronia were destroy
ed, too, and the priests were put
to death.
There were other reasons for
the weakness of New France in
these early days. The trading
company in France paid little at

rally, in 1863, the charter Of the
company was Cancelled, and New

Kiwanis SLAMMED

The Ahoskie Kiwanis club has decid-
ed to do the right thing by a Negro
farmer named Harvey Jones who won
an expensive automobile in a lottery
conducted by the club but was refused
possession on the grounds that the
event was intended for white folks"
only.
At a meeting of the clubs directors
yesterday it was decided to buy another
car Of the same model and present it
to Harvey Jones. DR.. Charles w. Arm
strong of Salisbury, president OF In
ternational Kiwanis was promptly adj
vised and requested to make public
announcement of the action.
Whether the decision removes the
stain from the fair name of Kiwanis is
a moot question. AS William E. Doerr,
first vice president Of the Pittsburgh
Kiwanis club says: "The incident is
the blacklist eye Kiwanis ever re-
ceived." Even with it's eleventh-hour re-
p%entance there will be many Kiwanians
not only in North Carolina but through
out 1.-THE country who wall question the
right of the Ahoskie club to retain it's
charter.
The circumstances were decidedly
unsavory, and the situation is not i'm
proved by the fact that the club wait
ed a month to correct its injustice
and did so only when the s%earchlight
of publicity was turned on.
The Ahoskie. club held a three-day
festival, June II to 10 inclusive, which
was to end with a dance at which a
$4,000 Cadillac automobile was to be
given to the holder of the lucky ticket.
Harvey Jones held the winning ticket,
for which he had paid one dollar. In
stead of getting the car the sheriff and
two lawyers got him out of bed in the
early morning and handed him a dol
lar, explaining that he was not eligi-
BILE for the prize.
Then the hush-hush treatment was
applied. At least there was no public
account of the affair made. Not I'M
til the episode was exposed on Tuesday
did the outside world know anything
about it. But when the papers carried
articles telling of the way Harvey
Jones had been treated, the composite
conscience of the Ahoshe club began
to prick. We may well believe that
Doctor Armstrong had a part in
awakening the directors to their duty,
once he learned the facts.
The belated gift Of the automobile
partially clears the sky, but to a limit
ed extent only. The wrong-mindedness
that is to be blamed for the offense
against good citizenship and decency
clings.
In the first place, the club had no
right to conduct a lottery, which
is illegal. AS lotteries are outside the
law, International Kiwanis should
hasten to ban them in all clubs. We
feel sure that Doctor Armstrong will
see that this is done.
Furthermore, the motto. of Kiwanis
is 1--WE Build" This means that
Kiwanis builds character, with full ap-
probation of spiritual, moral, legal
values and complete fairness to every
body in every transaction. This must
not be forgotten by any club, even
though its objective is to raise money
for its underprivileged children's
fund, as was the case at Ahoskie.

Senator Ball, Republican, OF

reporter he thought the Senate
would accept the $6,0O0,000 COM
promise, despite the Houses action
in stripping the bill of all funds

the grounds that Congress had not

Britain. viii Consult
Directly With Russia
On Marshall Plan
sy IN. Asseeio..d Pres.

LONDON, June 16.-A Foreign
'ofIice spokesman said today that
Britain soon would consult di-
rectly with Russia concerning
Secretary of State Marshalrs aid
Europe plan.
He said initial contact would
take place through regular dip
lomatic channels.
He added that he knew of no
plan for Foreign Secretary Bevin
to 60 personally to Moscow in the
same way as he is going to Paris
for talks tomorrow on the Amer.
lean proposals for European re.
construction.
Talks to Be Exploratory"
France already has asked Russia
for her views on how Europe should
respond to the American sugges-
ton.
The British Soviet consultations
will be along the same lines as the
projected talks with France, the
spokesman said, adding that these
latter viii be entirely. exploratory
Asked when the approach would
be made to Russia, the spokesman
replied: "At an early date" He
declined to answer question as to
whether Britain planned to await
the results of Mr.. Bevin's talks with
French Foreign Minister Bidault
before contracting Moscow
81 Mr.. Bevin, accompanied by Sir
Edwin Hall Patch chief economics
adviser to the foreign secretary, will
leave by air for Paris tomorrow, and
the Foreign ONCE spokesman said
he would be back in London to at
tend foreign affairs debate sched-
uled in the House of Commons for
Thursday. He was expected at that
time to report on the Paris talks.
"Clarification" Received.
Government sources said Britain,
since last week, had received what
they called full clarification" OF
the proposals for revival Of Euro
pean economy presented by the
American Secretary Of State.
Some Britons, meanwhile, pri-
vately expressed hope that the
American proposals, advanced by
Gen. Marshall on June S, would
mean more dollars for Britain with
out the political embarrassment OF
having to ask for more money when
the present s3,75o, 100000 American
loan is exhausted.
While there was no offlcial COM
ment on this, Foreign Once
spokesman declared:
I'VE have accepted the idea with
gratitude, on its face value, for
active consideration.
The Foreign Once apparently
viewed the motives of the United
States as largely economic and as
part of a plan to avert a dollar
starvation" which could threaten
American exports.
