Dr. Colton On World
Affairs
Before an audience of about one
hundred, Dr. Ethan Colton, an Internationa!
authority on world affaire,
discussed the European ait nation at
the Kirkwood Hotel on Wednesday
night.
Blaming the unrest in Europe on
tiie Versailles Treaty, Dr. Colton made
it clear that a German made peace
at that time would have been as bitter
and would huve left a .similarly
disturbed continent. The details of
the Versailles Treaty, he said, wore
due to Clemenceau, who played on
Wilson's passion for a league of nations
to trade for what ho considered
necessary for France, Security
Ho then proceeded to discuss the
polyglot racial characteristics of Central
European countries, citing that
in Prague he hud heard the Creed
recited in four languages.
As for war, he does not think
Europe will break out inside of two
years, merely because lie thinks 110
one will be ready before that time.
As for war preparation, ho told of an
apartment building in Poland which
had bomb proof cellars, but no elevators.
The builder stated that he
did not have enough money for both..
'Phe Spanish eltuation, ho said, was
a perfect example of a condition
where social changes were long overdue
and neither side would give in.
In other words, the will of the Spanish
people was not being served, with
tho present result,
War, he went on, must be started
by one of Ave nations: Great Britain,
Germany, France, Russia or Italy.
Hitler, he says, does not want to fight
Great Britain. Italy is ready. The
Russians won't start the war. France
may split if Spain goes to the Red
forces. The French and the British,
he says, will stick together, even
though they don't get along.
Dr. Colton is stopping with Mr and
Mrs. Ward C. Belcher.
Urges Passage Of
Kleberg Bill
An appeal to Senators Byrnes and
Smith and to Congressman Richards
for support of Kleberg Bill No. H. R.
3,90"), has been made by Secretary
Frank H. Heath of the Camden Cham:
her of Commerce.
I In his letter to the legislators Mr.
Heath stressed the fact that he believed
that the passage of this bill
was of vital importance to the farmors
of South Carolina,, as-well as of
the entire south where the cotton industry
is foremost.
The Kleberg Bill is a measure destined
to exempt retailers from the
occupational tax on the gale of margarine
and for other purposes.
In his letter Mr. Heath calls attention
to the fact that many- dairy
states have imposed unjust taxes on
margarines and that if the practice
is continued will eventually outlaw a
spread that goes on the tables of millions
of people who cannot afford butter.
The secretary calls attention to the
high tariff levied in Wisconsin, his
home state and declares that in his
opinion Wisconsin industry is hot in
accord with this program, Industry
however, is handicapped^ by the fact
that the Wisconsin solons are more
or less in harmony with the dairy interests.
"To my mind," said Mr.
Heath "tbere to: no more Justification
in imposing a tax against margarine
by the dairy states than there would
be for the wool states to impose a tax
against the use of cotton in clothing.
"I believe that the average person
who can afford to do so will naturally
buy creamery butter for his table, but
there are millions oft people who cannot
afford butter and who find margarine
a splendid substitute.
"Therefore, I. firmly believe that it
is fundamentally wrong to expect to
make the poor people suffer for the
want of a very necessary food, for
margarine is Just as much a food as
many other eatables, as it contains
milk and domestic vegetable fats."
Coker Glee Club

No Fishing Allowed^
In Hermitage Lake
The management of the Hermitage
Bake commission has published a notice
to the effect that there will be no
fishing allowed In the lake for the
next thirty days at least. Repairs of
a permanent nature are now being
made to the floodgates, which had begun
to leak, and it has been necessary
to lower the water to a considerable
degree. This will make the fish congregate
In a very small area and to
fish there now would practically take
the stock out of the lake. A keeper
for the premises will soon be placed
there and will warn would-be fishermen
t6 stay off of the property. Due
notice will be given when the water
has been raised to its normal level.
