Wool From Peanuts

DR.. Washington Carver, the great
Negro scientist Of Tuskegee, discovered
80 many uses for the peanut, besides
scattering the shells in baseball
grandstands, it would be supposed that
the goober had reached the limit of it's
possibilities. But it appears that Doctor
Carver missed one.
Some two thousand chemists from
twenty-eight countries are assembled in
London for the eleventh international
Congress of Pure and Applied Chemis-
try to share discoveries made during
the war years - with the single ex-
ception of atomic physics.
During the sessions a British chem
list, Mr.. David Trail, is to talk about
getting wool from peanuts.
The people Of Alabama, and other
Southern states, who grow great guam
titles of peanuts and make an occas-
sional penny from their crops, will be
particularly interested in what Mr..
Trail has to say. They are always quick
to seize upon any further development
of the nut, which they came to apprec-
late as a valuable asset under Doctor
Carver's guidance.

Hail! Halle Selassie

When the Italian pouter pigeon
Mussolini, violated the treaty of
friendship between his country and
Ethiopia and invaded the land without
SO much as declaring war, the world
outside the budding Axis was Mortified.
Ethiopia was defenseless and terrib-
ly backward. It could not fight the
modern arms, warplanes, and certainly
not the gas Mussolini employed in the
invasion. Nevertheless, the little en-
peror, Halle Selassie, bearded and mel
acholy, fought with his tatterdemalion
army as long as resistance was posi-
BILE, and went to England only as a last
resort to invoke the aid of the League
of Nations.
His mission was a failure, and it
seemed that Ethiopia, which had once
held dominion over Egypt, was destin-
ed to be a ghost land. Halle Selassie's
folded umbrella became the emblem
OF a peoples despair.
The Italion occupation was in 1885.
Along in 1871 British forces drove the
Italians out and when Halle Selassie
got back to his capital he declared wal
on Germany. It was but a gesture, of
course. Ethiopia could not have a big
part in the final struggle against Ger
many, but Halle Selassie's heart was
in the right place.
The Ethiopian invasion, occupation
by British troops, and the Emperor's
resumption of the throne would be but
a minor episode in the tremendous
drama of democracy versus fascisn

To The Editor:
I desire at this time to announce
that I am actively supporting Mr..
Charles M. johnson for Governor.
II have carefully examined Mr..
Johnson's record, particularly in
the educational field, and l believe
that he is a true friend of the
cause of progressive education in
North Carolina. W. are approach
ing a new day in education which
calls for breadth of vision and real
craftsmanship, and 1 am of the
opinion that Mr.. johnson meets
this high standard. 1 believe he
fully comprehends our problems
as they affect the child, the teach
er, the parent, and the public.
Mr.. johnson is n of the first
public officials to state his posi-.
ton of public education. In my
opinion Mr.. Johnson, by his dem.
onstrated interest in pubic edu-
cation and his progressive way
of thinking, highly qualities him
for the position Of Governor.

France Objects

The United States and Great Britain
are anxious to increase the production
of steel in the Ruhr basin as a means
of helping Europe toward a self-sus-
tanning basis. 1t is necessary to have
more steel for factories, railway cars
and rails, locomotives, etc., if Europe
is to help implement the Marshall pro-
posal.
To get this steel there must be more
mining of coal. It will be remembered
that in his statement upon his return
from Moscow, Secretary Marshall
dwelt particularly, not on the Moscow
Conference failure, but Europe's over
towering need for coal.
With the purpose of promoting great
er production of both in. the Ruhr, it
is planned to hold a conference this
week to thresh out points of difference
in the British and American views and
determine if possible whether the pro.
posal can be carried through. But
France fears the intended revival OF
German industry will endanger France
ard other German neighbor states and
opposes, not the meeting, but the pro.
gram.
The Paris envoy, Henri Bonnet, ex-
plains that France does not object to
digging Ruhr coal "but for using it in
Germany to make German STEEL"
M. Bennett believes the present
Paris conference made some progress
toward peace, but that if the United
States and Great Britain insist on pro.
jects with which France cannot agree
it's committee work will be placed I'm
der a heavy handicap. The idea would
seem to be to postpone the coal-steel
plan until they have completed their
work.
Frances position is understandable.
But it also seems that the Paris gov
Is unnecessarily alarmed.
Secretary Marshall has repeatedly de-
clared that while the rebuilding of Ger
many's heavy industry would not be
without a possible threat to peace, a
special obligation would rest upon the
occupying powers to see that no at
tempt was made to. revive German
military strength.
However, the French protest is not
to be ignored. Any discussion of this
or other proposals must consider the
deplorable possibility of injecting new
problems which could only tend to in
crease European confusion. Temporary
delay on the Ruhr plan might offer
greater future safety than precipitate
action now.

The CTS did their best to bring
peace to the world by marrying

higher levels. Whatever became OF
Stalin's son? Hasn't Molotov a

French arrange a match and sub

To support a United Nations
Love Organization, each country
could be asked to contribute a pre-
rata share of its national love
wealth. Since the United States
has Hollywood, it would probably
have to pay the most. Russia
would have an inducement to joir

The Book OF knowledge
Department: - THE WORLDLY
ANCIENT CHINA

The written history Of China
goes back 1000 years. Half that
long ago, when the Chinese had
already reached a high degree OF
culture, most of u ancestors IN
the wilds Of Europe were still
rough people indeed, barely max
ing a beginning IN civilized ways
ard thoughts. But China lost the
advantage of the start by stand
ing still, going 10 sleep and keep
ing to herself. Meanwhile, the
young Western nations forged
ahead.
There are many reasons that
account for Chna's long sleep.
The deserts and high mountains
Of central Asia formed a barrier
toward the West. Chinese life was
based on a family 6r clan sys-
tenn. Reverence for parents and
ancestors was the first duty of all
Chinese. Children were intent
upon carrying On life in exactly
tie same way their f%orefathers
had handed down. Foreigners
were not encouraged to visit
China; indeed, they were long
rigidly kept out. Thus, very little
knowledge OF the outside world
and its discoveries penetrated in
to the heavenly or celestial
kingdom which the Chinese be-
lieved to be supreme on the en-
tire earth.
During most Of her history,
China has been ruled by dynas-
ties. A dynasty IS a line of men.
from the same family, or from
tile same place, who rule, n aft
e. the other.
The first dynasty in China about
which we know very much is the
Chow, so named because the err.
perors came from the province Of
Chow. 1t was the longest dynasty
in China's history, lasting from
about 100 BIC. to about $50 BIC.
During this dynasty, in ISL BIC.
a great teacher and religious lead
er was born, ConfEcius.

SPECIAL OFFERING
 OF CHURCHWOMEN
 BE MADE SUNDAY

All Episcopal Churchwomen will gather at the Church of the Holy Trinity on next Sunday, Trinity Sunday, to make their semi-annual presentation of the United Thank Offering The offering will be made at all services, at 8 am, at II am, or at pm. in St. Luke's Church, Douglas, according to the convent ence of the churchwomen.
 Mrs. M. o. Johnson. Treasurer of Trinity's U. T. O., said that Sunday would be the fifth anniversary of the death of the Rt. Rev. Peter T. Rowe, first Bishop of Alaska. For many years the U. T. o. went toward the payment of Bishop Rowe's ex- penses. Therefore the offering is presented as thanksgiving for his long and useful ministry in Alaska among the Territory's pioneers.
 An especially interesting program of church music has been planned by Ernest Ehler, director of the Holy Trinity Choir. for Trinity Sunday, the feast after which the local Epi- scopal Church building is dedicated. For the offertory anthem the choir will sing Sir John Stainer's great anthem for Trinity Sunday, T Am Alpha and Omega The public is invited to attend this feastday celebration.
