The question has been asked
by several why this country
supplies Japan with a million
a million and a half barrels of
oil a month, part of which is us¬
ed in her war against China and
part of which is shipped to Ger¬
many. Here is the explanation
that has been given us. It is felt
that one of the ways to defeat
Hitled is to exhaust his financial
resources. This is also true of
Japan. When Japan buys any¬
thing in this country she pays
for it in cash. It is felt that if
this can be continued long e-
nough the time will come when
the cash resources of these coun¬
tries will be exhausted. This, by
some, is felt to be as effective
as a military victory.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES: TRENTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. JULY 24, 1941.
HEY, LOOK BEHIND YOU!
MARION SMITH SPEAKS!
"I have nothing but contempt tor the politician who, to
advance his own selfish interests, seeks to disturb race rela¬
tions into hatred by spreading statements which he himself
must know to be false.”
Marion Smith' a distinguished citizen of Georgia and one
whose record of unselfish service is an outstanding one, so
spoke in talking Tuesday to the Atlanta Rotary Club.
He told of how the Board of Regents had made each of
the state s colleges an accredited one; had removed the sys¬
tem fro debt; had earned the approval of the economy com'
mittee; had made more educational progress in the University
System than ever before.
“I need not waste your time telling you in detail that
the (charges against these two men (Doctor Walter D. Cocking
and Dr. Marvin Smith) were false and ridculous. You have,
of course, read the newspapers and no man of intelligence
would believe the filthy nonsense that was stated at
this so-called trial. It was net believed by the Governor, and
it wasnot believed by the majority of the board who voted
under his orders. I know they did not believe it, because
they certainly are not idiots, and no onp but an idiot, with
the facts before him, would have believed anything of the
kind.”
Mr. Smith declared that he was a member of the Board of
Regents and left it twice because he was unable to agree with
Ed Rivers or Eugene Talmadge when they sought to use the
board and the University System for political purposes.
“I was on the board when we made arrangements to ob¬
tain money from the large foundations which support ad¬
vancement of education and certainly they asked us for no
commitments. No one ever thought about or spoke about
putting white and colored people on one campus.
“The constitution of the state of Georgia expressly for¬
bids it. It is not possible for such a question to rise in this
state. The foundations have never thought of suggesting such
a thing.”
He spoke frankly strongly and fearlessly.
The Atlanta Constitution has never believed any effort
was made to put white and colored students together on one
campus. There was never a bit of evidence that anyone had
attempted it or advocated it. One person at one
meeting had heard something which more than 30 persons at
the same meeting did not hear. That was absolutely all the
evidence.
The constitution of the state is supreme. No person, white
or colored, woul want to change that section which separates
the two razees. No one has tried to change it. The Governor
knows that to be true.
The Constitution could not join him m what was so ob"
viously a political witch hunt. As was expected, the trial was
a farce without any pretense at justice, with the ver¬
dict arrived at days beforehand and with a resolution of thanks
written before the evidence was heard. TheGovernor believed
his own case so weak that days before the hearing summoned
teachers from Athens to the mansion and urged them to get
evidence. His agent, R. F. Wood, left a nauseating trail seek¬
ing “evidence.”
The Atlanta Constitution does not believe the people of
Georgia want to see their university, which they and their
children love, discredited merely because the Governor is in
an unexplained frenzy over something which did not happen.
Well might Marion Smith and all other citizens interseted in
education- say:
God help the University System and the state of Georgia.”
