Increase Noted in
Business Failures
Growth in Insolvencies Shows
Competitions Toll.

NEW YORK.-Business failures,
which were at a record low rate
just a year ago, now show a steady
increase-the plainest evidence that
competitive markets are back I n
many fields.
Principal casualties thus far have
been manufacturing enterprises.
Statisticians of Dun and Brad
street, whose records on failures ex-
tend back to 1857, say that insol-
vencies in retail trade always lag
somewhat behind those in the manu-
featuring field.
Manufacturing failures outnum-
bered wholesaling and retailing fail
ures in 1916 for the first time in
American business history, and the
trend has continued into 1947. For
the first two months this year there
were 159 insolvenices in the a
featuring division reported, with LA
bilities totaling $751; 74, 900.
These failures have accounted
largely for an upturn in average liza
bility per insolvency from only $11 900
in 1912 to around 10000 thus far in
1947.
The current high total of all bust
nesses in the nation, observers say,
would eXaggerate the effect of any
business recession on the upswing
in failures.
Listings in the Dun and Bradstreet
reference book, which include all
types of business which are seekers
of commercial credit, have more
than recovered from the falling-off
that accompanied war mobilization.
The current total of approximately
$500, 900 is some 300, 900 above the
previous peak of 1912.
The reference book total is around
a million less than department of
commerce figures, since the latter
include many small service enter
prises which are not primarily en-
gagged in distribution on merchan-
disc. Also in the book, chain
store units are not counted individu-
ally.

The gulls, says DR.. H. F. Pryth-

 Marshall said a definite propsal for China is being prepared for early submission. And, he said, the United States and all other world powers recognize the national gov ernment of GeneralisSimo Chiang Kai-Shek as the "sole legal gov ernment of China"

LaFollette May Be Recovery Aid
 Administrator

WASHINGTON, (P)-The name of Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., fig ured prominently in speculation today as the possible director of this country's projected multi-bil- lion dollar European aid program.
 Long before there can be any choice of personalities, however, it must be decided whether the so- called Marshall plan is to be car ried out by a new independent corporation as pictured by Presi- dent Truman's citizens committee or under direct control of the treasury department.
 In favoring the new agency ap- proach, the l9-man committee headed by Secretary of Commerce Hartman proposed that the direc- tor and board chairman be given vast powers and responsibilities.
 He would have the decisive voice on vital day-to-day decisions an the use of dollars, food and goods as weapons against Com munist expansion-the "cold war" which the committee denounced as ruthless drive to achieve world domination"

BANGKOK, (P)-Luang Aphai- wongse was appointed premier of Siam today and a five member privy council was named to head government following a bloodless coup yesterday directed by war time dictator Pibul Songgram.
 The new privy council replaces the regency for King Phumiphon, who attainS his majority next month. The monarch, who is now in Switzerland, is expected to re- turn to Siam.neXt month.
 The privy council immediately promulgated a new constitution reViving some of the monarchial powers relinquished in 1892. Un- der the new constitution Slams legislature will continue as a two chamber body, but the members of the senate will henceforth be appointed by the King instead of being elected
 AphaiwongSe served as premier on two previous occasions. He headed the government briefly in 1924 when Songgram was busted because of public opposition to an ultra-nationalist program.
 He was again made premier early in l946, but his regime was defeated after brief stay in of flee.

BURGAW-Pender county is
the least dependent on tobacco
of any county about which we
have written. A conversation
with r. R. Rich, the county
agent, and J. V. Whitfield, leg
islator, reveals the county al
ready has made substantial pro-
gress in diversification.- There
fore, Pender county stands a
chance, a good chance, of not
losing one penny in 1948 by rea-
son of the reduction in tobacco
acreage.
Speaking of making up that
loss Rich is recommending first
of all permanent pastures. If
the day comes when each farm
in the county has a large, ade-
quate permanent pasture sup
plemented by small grains and
various types of grazing and
temporary pastures, lot of ad-
ditional opportunities open up,
which are not tobacco.
Rich is making a determined
effort to persuade each farmer
to own two hundred laying hens.
He wants each farmer to own
a milk COW. He desires a large
increase in hog production. He
is striving for a hundred far
mers, at least, to raise a beef
animal each. Over all he wants
each farm to produce its own
food and feed.
Study those efforts and you
will understand to what a large
extent they flow from perma-
nent pastures. Secondly such a
program is warranted by the
marketing facilities. At Burgaw
is the Pender County Cold Stor-
age and Freezer Company, a
cooperative. Not only does it
provide refriger alton but it mar
kets products for the farmers,
such as turkeys, eggs, dressed
meats, vegetables. In most in
stances it is marketing for the
farmers processed products,
which means larger profit
than that from raw materials.
Tobacco is marketed at Wallace

than fifteen million dollars. That

than fifteen million dollars. That
is a loss that will hurt. Pender
county knows that and Rich, as
the agricultural leader. is en-
phasizing other ways of making
money on a farm besides to-
bacco. Looking at the overall
picture truly Pender county has
a chance to make up its entire
loss from tobacco. Not only that
but through the Fender County

pany Pender County farmers
are enjoying profits from the
processing of farm crops. The
outlook for 1e48 in this county

mainly at Joe Howard's Peanut

small grains with which to make

sociation and a New Jersey Co.

marketed thirteen tons of blue
berries. Livestock is marketed
at the Pender County Cold Stor-
age and Freezer Company, at
M. A. Rocks plant in Rocky
Point, by the Pender County
Swine Growers Association, at
the Wallace Livestock Market,
at Moore's Abattoir. Strawber-
ries and beans are marketed at
the Wallace Auction Market.
There are ten or twelve dairies
in Pender County and the milk
is marketed to Whites Milk
Company and McEachern's
Milk Company, both of Whining
ton. Milk pickup stations are
maintained.
With such excellent marketing
opportunities one is not at all
surprised to find that in addition
to tobacco Pender county is pro-
ducing peanuts, commercial
vegetables, corn, blue berries,
small grains, hogs, cattle, milk.
Bear in mind the conservative
estimate of the loss to North
Carolina in 1948 from tobacco
million dollars. Not all of the
hundred counties are tobacco
counties. Southeastern North
Carolina is a tobacco section.
Therefore the loss to this partic-
ular section, to Southeastern
North Carolina runs far more

Development
 Board Receives Many Inquiries

Nationwide interest in Alaska is not diminishing, but continues to increase, it is indicated by the rec ord of inquiries received by the Alaska Delevopment Board. A summary just released by the Board shows that general letters of inquiry received by it concern ing the Territory and its oppor- tunities numbered more in 1946 than in l945. The totals were 1,2l7 in 1945, and 1886 in l946. These were in addition to correspondence with the more substantial pros poets who account for the greater part of the Boards business.
 Of the general inquiries, 364 were respect to homesteading and farming; 163 on small business op- portunities; 151 on transportation topics; Al on miscellaneous em- ADloyment; 72 on tourist lodge pos abilities; 69 on fur farming and trapping; 38 on fisheries oppor- tunities; 32 on the forest products field; 20 on mining, and the rest spread over wide range of mis- cellaneous subjects.

Work of expan- sion was started this week and by May 1 is expected to be in full op- eration. The plant will work on a 24-hour basis to bring production up to contract terms. When com pleted the enterprise will represent an investment of $750,OOO and will have payroll of upwards of one hundred persons.
 Finished lumber from the plant will be taken by vessels across the Gulf of Alaska to the head of the Alaska Railroad from where it will be delivered to various army installations.
 "ThiS is an excellent example of how the Development Board can be of great help in bringing cap ital and industrial payroll to the Territory" said George Sundborg, General Manager of the Board. We need more such enterprises in Alaska and the Board is working toward that end. There are several other industrial enterprises con- templated for the Territory to which the Board is giving it's at tention at this time and which can be of basic value in developing the economy of Alaska"
