Recognizing that restrictive laws
and regulations passed by many
states in recent years tend to
strangle trade and comn:zrce be
g¢ween the respective states and
threaten to hinder the free {low
of interstate commerce, Secretary
Hopkins has proposed the forma
tion of a committee of several of
ficials to study and coordinate ac
givities to combat such trade bar-*
riers. He points ut that Federal
and State officials, along with lo
eal officers and civic groups appre
ciate the dangers to the economic
life and business wellbeing of the
nation that may spring from the
mmultiplicity of barriers erected Ly
various states to limit trade from
other areas.
This in an important subject be
cause it is generally conceded that
the economic Idevelopment of the
~ United States is due, in large de
gree, to the free trade practice
which prevails in this large con
suming area. For one reason and
another, individual states have
seen fit to pass laws intended to
give producers and business enter
prises in their bounds some advan
tage over competitors from other
areas. !
While a temporary advantage
may accrue, it is almost always off
set by similar restrictive action in
other states. Thus, in the long run,
the net result will be the erection
of barriers which will stem the
~ flow of trade between the states
of this republic. This, it is believed,
will metard mational development
amd inflict serious injury upon g@ll
the people of this country.
Paul V. McNutt, Administrator,
has instituted a survey of the
Federal Securities Agency, which
include the Social Sscurity Board,
National Youth Administration,
Civilian Conservation Corps, Pub
lic Health pnd the Office of Edu
cation., The Agency has 21,000
employees and an annual budget
of about $800,0000,000, of which
about $50,000,000 goes for strictly
administrative expenses. The re
mainedr is distributed in grants to
states for unemployment compen
setion, education and public health.
The purpose of the survey will be
to eliminate “excessive red tape”
and so bring about efficiency and‘
eeonoiny. |
Facing increased ‘expenditures
for national defense, which may
reach the peace-time record of $2,-
250,000,000, during the next fiscal
-year, the President is anxious that
other Government expenditures be
cut to the bone and hopes to limit
the deficit to $2,000,000,000. Be
cause departmental estimates were
made before this decision, officials
confront the dread task of reduc
ing their requests in order that
the President may avoid new or
higher taxes to defray the costs of
military and naval expansion. Just
now, it appears that fiscal advisers
are hoping that the budget for
1941 will be limited to $9,000,000,-
000, one-fourth of which will be for
national defense.
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan
sas, says that Republican Party
leaders recognize that the farm
vote will determine the next pres
idential election and he believes
that, as a result of low prices for
the past few years, there will be
an inevitable swing in the farm
belt against the party power. Ad
- mitting that the Administration
has tried to help the farmers, this
Republican leader points out that
farm prices have not produced a
very happy result in the country at
large.
Senator Capper. feels sure that
his Party will offer a. constructive
program for 1940 because ‘‘every
voter knows now that we can’t
have any general prosperity unless
the farmer is making money.”
While favoring retention of the
Soil Conservation Program and
some system of parity payments,
be contends that restrictions on
production have caused some dis
content, especially in connection
with the development of new re
clamation projects and the recipro
¢a] frade program which brings in
foreign farm products,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
continues his spirited defense of
his reciprocal trade program, de
claring that it is designed to re
store “balance and prosperity to
American agriculture and indus
try.” He declares that if our trade
policy is to be determined solely by
of particular interests, determined
to 'win a completely favorsd posi
tion for themselves, the nation will
again fall into & disorderly depres
sion like that which followed the
Hawley-Smoot Tarriff. He noted
lwi'th approval the statement of
Prime Minister Chamberiain that
“there can be no lasting peace un
less there is i full and lasting trade
between nations” and that “only by
increpsed interchange of goods and
‘services can the standarg of living
e improved.”
) The annual report of the Navy
' Department, just made public, cov- }
‘ers the fiscal year 1939 which end- 1
ed last June 30th. Whilte litile new
information is included, it records
a year of modernization ani ex
pamnsion, intensified training, and
good) performances. It cites a need
for more men and for increassd
storage space for supplies on the
West ‘Coast, together with more
adequate facilities, floafing oil
barges, etc., at major naval har
bors. i
In view of the general expecta
tion that one of the questions that
the next Congress will consider is
a prognnm of public health, the
reader may be interested in a pro
gram recently proposed by the
American Medical Association,
which has a membership of 115,-
000 doctors. Holding that the care
of the public health and the pro
vision of medical service to the sicl
is primarily a local resposnsibility,
the Association declares that the
development of preventive medical
services should be in aecordance
with local confrol of administra
tion. Medical care for the indigent
is a matter of local determination
of meed and local control of admin
istration,
It would have a Federal agency
to coordinate all such functions of
the Federal Government, exclusive
of the Army and Navy, with the
allotment of such funds as may be
available to any stale in actual
need and twith the provision that
present medical services be utilized
to the utmost before there is a large
scale extension of medical services.
The Association calls for the
continued development of the pri
vate practice of medicine and the
expansionn of public health and
medical services consistent with
the American system of democracy.
The trustees say that “The intro
duction of methods, such as com
pulsory sickness insurance, state
medicines and similar technigues
result in a trend foward Commun
ism or totalitarianism and away
from democracy.”

AMBITION TO BE NOTED
You seldom ever see one but who
has a desire to be noted for some
thing, That ambition goes with
the human being and is commend
able. There is a defference be
tween noted and notorious. A bad
man is notorious. He is a good man
gone wrong.
I hate to see an ambition sacri
ficed on the altar of the devil. The
young people should avoid that
ambition to be like noted, outlaws.
Prison or death is at the end of
that short lane.
Young people are suscepiible to
influence. Biographers somefimes
put a sly halo of glory over the
lives of desperadoes. When I read
the lives of Jesse and Frank James
it almost begot in me an admira
tion for them, and a destire to
be like them. :
~ Every child should have an am
bition to be noted for something.
It makes his parents and home
place proud of him. Wed mofor a
Ipiece just to see the home of a
‘noted man. We canmot explain why
we will do that, but we all will do
it. People ought to be encouraged
in their ambitions o be noted for
something lawful and commend
able,

cery dollar and the clothing dollar
and the rest of the community dol
lars that make your town prosper
ous to remain at home—Advance

THE FREE SPIRIT
We all enjoy the free spirit of
childhood. It can never come back
but we all think about it. Think
about the time before hate con
sumed us or love blinded us. Think
of the time when we were as care
free as the birds that sing in the
bushes or fly over us. Blessed free
dom of childhood.
It is all passed now, but we love
the memory of the hills, rivers and
branches around Jonesboro. Love
the memory of the boys with whom
we used to hunt. Some day we pass
on but when we think of Hynd’s
Spring, Flint River and the happy
hours my friends and myself have
spent down below Mundy's Mill,
where the streams join, it affects
‘my soul.
) What affects you and me affects
people the world over. You can
hardly break the love for scenes
and people begotten in early child
hood. It becomes a part of us amd
long after they have passed away
we will dream of them as we are
doing tonight. ‘

Remedy for Leprasy
Natives of Burma and Tadia have
known for many centuries shat the
brownish yellow oil pressed from
chaulmoogra seeds was helipful in
treating leprosy. But it was about
40 years ago that Amerwan ang
European doctors became seriously
interested. Lepers used ¢a fry to
swallow the nauseating, acrid oil,
and they spread it upon thsir sores.
This famous tree grows wil in Byr
