The Barrfwell Peoplc-SentincU Barnwell, S. Thursday, November 7, 193$ Russians Use Coal for - Heat Without Ignition Russian farmers bars discovered s way to speed up the ripening of their cotton crops by a month or more. They use coal to warm the totton plants without burning the eo$l. This seeming paradox Is being performed at Kazakstan. Obtaining heat from coal without burning U the application of a simple fact of physics that dark colors absorb the teat In the sun’s rays better than light colors. The Zazakstan farmers simply spread coal dust lightly over their fields; about 100 pounds to an acre. The darkened surface of the land Is a better absorber of heat during the day and reradiates more of it as warmth during the night The high er average temperature of the land during the growing season, therefore. Shortens the time necessary for the crop to mature by over a month. BOYS! GIRLS! Read the Qrape Nuts ad in another column of this paper'and learn how to Join the Dizzy Deal.

Washington.—A friend of mine, a minor official of the government, re- marked to me the Tne African other day that he War could find very little • cause for excitement 4a his own mind about the hostilities between Italy and Ethiopia. The fight ing Is so far sway, he said, and the nations involved are of such compara tive Insignificance in the whole world structure that he found no reason at all to do more than read the black faced headlines about the trouble as they appeared from day to day in the great metropolitan newspapers. We were, at the time, wending a rather slow way around the golf links of the Congressional Country club. The course is set in the midst of fine farm ing conntry and my friend used the situation as a basis for his argument that there was little reason for any of us to take the Itallan-Ethiopian trou ble seriously. “How can it make very much dif ference to us,” he asked with a wave of his hand toward the fine farms and splendid homes within sight, “when we have a nation so admirably supplied with resources of which those are typ ical? We can live even if the trouble broadens. If necessary we can close onr shores to foreigners and keep out of the trouble.” 1 Unwittingly, my friend supplied a text In fact he supplied two of them. The man in question is able, has a good brain and is doing hts job satis factorily, but it Is his first connection with the government in an official ca parity. He has not had training here tofore that fits him or equips him to deal with broad international ques tions In time his views will change. Of that I have no doubt, but the fact remains that bis attitude on the Ital- lan-Ethloplan-sItuat.on marks him as one of countless hundreds of govern ment officials, past and present, who are brought in and given responsible posts without regard to their under standing of all of the problems whlc- they must meet The other text which my friend’s conversation suggested is “what inter est do we have in the African war?” Most individuals will agree that at tte moment we are In no danger and that Immedlatelythere Is no prospect of any kind of trouble insofar as the N United States is concerned bat it is not the immediate prospect that we must consider. It is not the immediate prospect that caused Secretary Hull of the State department to declare and to reiterate that the objective of present American policies Is to keep this coun try out of war. That was the reason congress enacted the so-called neutral- it> resolution and that was the reason President Roosevelt placed an embargo against the shipment of arms and mu nitions of war to the present bellig erents. Again, It is not the present, but where we go from here that con cerns us. * * * Undoubtedly congress did a popu lar thing when it adopted the reaolu- tlon designed to pre- Europe a *ent development of Powder Keg circumstances which may place os on the verge of the cataclysm. I say the ac tion was popular because there has been no indication from any Important quarter, except from traders whose business has been handicapped, against the official policy enacted in that res olution. But the end Is not yet In the first instsnee, sll of Europe is virtually s powder keg. Potential dynamite lies in the differences between Russians and Japanese. Their frontier can be the scene of the fated overt act at any moment And, while the hope is for settlement of sll differences between the Japanese and the Russians In a peaceful manner, there Is no assur ance that these can be so settled. Since the Italian dictator, Mussolini, brazenly announced that be wanted more territory for his people and pro posed to get It at the expense of the black men in Ethiopia, tension between Great Britain and Italy has Increased from day to day. Backing and filling between the British and the Etencb have been the regular order because the British and the French have com parable Interests In Africa. Farther, a strengthened Italy means a menace of a continuing character to her neigh bor, France. The British have scores of battle boats in the Mediterranean aea. Those ships are at anchor from which they, can be called into quick use. The Brit- iah say the fleet la maintained there merely aa a “precaution.’’ Mussolini knows better. He knows and every one else will discover after even a superficial examination of the situa tion that the British will brook no moves by Italy that threaten British control of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan nor will the British permit Mussolini to gain control of such Ethiopian ter ritory aa will Jeopardize their anper vision over territory through which the waters of the blue Nile flow. These waters are essential to the British. . So It takes no stretch of the imag ination to conclude that even a minor incident, accidental damage to a Brit ish boat or au Injury to a British citi zen—of such things and from such things comes war—will cause trouble. If by any chance one of those “inci dents” comes, the British and the Ital ians will be at each other’s throats. Next, should that break develop, every nation in Europe is compelled for one reason or another to align Itself with one side or the other. Hitler, fer ex ample, would want nothing better than an opportunity to stir up some trouble among the other nations in order that he could spread his power over Aus tria and Hungary and maybe over some of the Balkan states. He wants more territory snd If s free-for-all- should get started Herr Hitler* will lose no time in subjugating some of the' neighboring countries. « a a a Even if these conditions obtain, my friend’s statement that the war is a u/ u uu lon * way ofl 8tU1 Would nit u correct It wonld Our Commerce 1)6 three or four thousand miles from American shores but the point of dif ference Is that we are a commercial nation and 1 the European powder keg explodes our commerce would be af fected. Indeed, it would be virtually destroyed. But it will be asked, why not live within our own shell? The answer is, we cannot do so. Our ships, carrying the products of our farms and facto ries, would be plying the seas. Na tions at war do not take the time al ways to learn the character of cargo aboard a ship at sea nor do they in quire its destination or the purpose for which it is to be used. Then, we hear of the overt act An American ship with an American crew and an American cargo is sunk. Or, Ameri can-owned and manned business units In some one of the belligerent coun tries suffers from one of the various things that takes place during the war. it may be the act of some hot-headed foreign natonal or it may be a dellb erate move by a government, but the die is cast. An American citizen is killed, an American flag la Insulted. We are in It It seems to me, therefore, that we have every reason to watch closely those developments abroad. Our own people are not blameless for some of the conditions that develop. For In- stanee* the following day after Mr. Roosevelt Issued his proclamation pro- i hlbttlng exports of arms and muni tions and, by Inference, prohibiting dealings of any kind with Itxly and Ethiopia, New York exporters rose with s mighty howl and the Port De velopment Authority in New York pro tested. One group saw all opportuni ties for profitable business stricken out by the prohibition against exports and the other, with proper civic pride, complained that the executive action would w’reck New York city as a mari time center. Their complaints were natural, quite human, but their refusal to accept the national policy simply represents one of the many things con stituting an early step that may sub sequently be one of the foundation stones of war. I do not mean to say In these col umns that we should become s peace- at-any-prlce nation. Ol the contrary, I think that Is a cowardly position for any nation to take. What I do empha size, however, Is that If we are to have ac international policy, we should ad here to 1L • • • Now, let us consider the govern- mental problem. 1 said earlier that congress undoubtedly Neutrality had acted In accord- Edict ance with the views of a majority of onr people. President Roosevelt has chosen to accept the neutrality resolution as a mandate from congress which gives him almost no discretion. His arms embargo, his shipping prohibition and his warning to American citizens that if they travel on boats belonging to the belligerent powers they do so at their own risks was the narrowest construc tion possible to have been placed on the neutrality edict of congress. Congress is not In session and will not be back here agalr until January. The President’s hands are tied unless he decides to call congress Into extra session and that, of coarse, will not he done unless sudden flames of war sweep over the whole world. Therefore, If Mr. Roosevelt clings to the policy which he has adopted In narrowly con struing the neutrality resolution until the congressional session opens In Jannary, congress can do no more than commend him for following its dlctatea But If soy of the conditions enumer ated above should place the American neutrality pofltton where a test must be had, congress must accept the blame. So, as long as Mr. Roosevelt follows his present course snd throws himself completely on the law, the President can make abort answer to those who would enlist this country in International action. That position, of coarse, has Its weaknesses because something ms . develop overnight with which be cannot deal under an Index ible law but, on the other hand, the fact that he can do little without call ing congreaa back, certainly provides a cooling-off period during which the thoughts of a nation may crystallise. • WeaUrn Nawapapar Unloa. / My baking gets.more bouquets-and I save, too!” SAYS MRS.
