u. 5. and Philippine,
Sign 5-Year Pact Of
Mutual Assistance
BY the Associated Press

MANILA, Mar. 21.-A five-year
military assistance agreement which
makes American arms, munitions,
technical advice and training avail
able to the Philippine armed forces
was signed today by President
Manuel A. Roxas and United States
Ambassador Paul v. McNutt.
The pact, complementing re-
cent agreement providing American
bases in the Philippines, makes the
new republic an integral part of
American defense plans in the West
ern Pacific.
Mr.. McNutt said the agreement
completes the framework of init
mate cooperation between our two
countries and establishes a pattern
unprecedented in history" The pact,
he said, binds America to under
take, without exacting a single
obligation on the part of the Philip
pine government, to aid and assist
national defense forces of the
Philippines"
It's value to the United States
will be in "the advancement of our
completely identical ideals and pur-
poses in international affairs"
Conferences Expected.
A government spokesman said
President RoXas, as chairman OF
the Council of National Defense,
would summon members to meet
ing to discuss the groundwork
for the new defense establishment
A series of conferences is expected
to be held between Filipino officials
and an American military mission
headed by Maj. Gen. Albert M
Jones to coordinate the Philippine
plan with the overall Pacific pat
tern.
Mr.. Roxas said the military assist
ance agreement, effective from July
4, 1916, could be reviewed on the re-
quest of the Philippines.
Many aspects of the agreement
already are in operation, Mr.. Roxas
said, with a 58-man mission headed
by Gen. Jones at work and the
Philippine Army using American
equipment. He said the Philippines
will be able to send pupils to Amer
lean military schools and that trans
fer of 83 ships to the republic will
mean the present offshort patrol OF

Boon without Price"
The pact provides that the Philip
pines shall not accept the services
|of any government other than the
United States "for duties of any
mature connected with the Philip
pine armed forces except by mutual
agreement of the two governments. "
Mr.. Roxas commented that "for,
IA land like ours, which is starting
Iout on its career as free, independ-
Ient nation, this grant of both mate
rial and training of personnel from
the United States armed forces is
"a boon without price"
Signing of the treaty was the last
official act by Mr.. McNutt, who will
leave tomorrow to return to the
United States via Europe. Minister
Counsel Nathaniel P. Davis will be
Charge d'Affaires pending arrival
Of new Ambassador.

izer is needed here and badly. Europe
seems to need it, too, or so we are told.
But it would appear North Carolina, and
the entire South should have an equal pri-
ority with the other nations of the world.
At least that is what some of our states
representatives in Congress think and they
are backing their thinking with demands
to the proper congressional committees to
see to it that our farmers are able to
switch from tobacco to other crops.
North Carolina farmers can in all prob
ability find new markets, some OF which
NAV be more lucrative than have been the
tobacco markets, and at less cost in pro-
duction.
Situated, as is the state, midway on the
coast it has perhaps more large industrial
centers within few hundred miles than
any other state. And industrial centers do
not eat tobacco. They demand diversified
foods that come from diversified crops.
But to meet these new markets the
farmers must produce AL products. This
cannot be done without earth refreshened
and that's why the fight is being waged in
Washington.
Farmers and the people in the cities
too might find it to their mutual advantage
to urge our representatives not to cease
this fight until all the chips are down and
the fight is won for North Carolina farmers.

Certain top-flight political leaders in the
nations capital have way of getting re-

some of these ways were utilized.
Some labor leaders know when to stop.

who would jeopardize his nation at time

court System Under Fire

Certain arguments against the present
North Carolina Superior Court system, pre-
sented before the New Hanover County Bar
Association by Mr.. Fred B. Helms OF Char
lotte, past president of the State Bar AS
sociation, merit close public attention
Mr.. Helms declared that the custone OF
rotation Superior Court judges to be "one
of the biggest millstones about the neck OF
lawyers" He declared that machinery OF
the courts is inefficient particularly on the
score that it is a century old and poorly
adapted to present-day needs.
AS proof Of this, he pointed out that busl-
ness men are resorting more and more to
out-of-court settlements, by which they
save time and expense. At least 80 per
cent of the litigation formerly disposed OF
"bv court procedure is now avoided through
outside arbitration, he declared.
He insisted that instead of shifting Su-
perior Court judges from district to district
they should be appointed permanently to
serve one alone, so that each might have
part in pre-trial processes, such as ruling
on demurrers and motions.
At present, he noted, judge spends but
six months in one court in six years and
consequently knows little of local con-
ditions. The judge, he is quoted as saying,
must spend two months in becoming &C.
quainted with his docket, and only two
months in trials. In reporting Mr.. Helms
address, the Star quoted him as saying the
judge fears to open other trials during the
final two months lest he be unable to COM
plete them.
And he is also quoted as saying that a
revision of our court system, including
Standardization procedure in inforior courts
would improve the states judiciary set-up
from third to one-half.
The state court system has been under
attack for long time. Now it is hoped
that commission created by the State
Bar Association, which is studying the sys.
tenn with the view of presenting it's recon-.
mendations during the next General AS.
sembly session, and which has the genera
support of the states legal profession, will
also win public favor. In the last analysis
the public would gain most if our cour
system were brought up to date.
