This Weir in
SHINGTON
Washington, D. C., October 4.,
<NWNS)—The appointment of EcU
â– ^ard R. Stettinius, former chair
man of the board of U. S. Steel,
to the position of undersecretary
of state, and the appointment of
Leo Crowley, former Chairman of
the board of Standard Gas and
face trie company, to the position
pf head of the office of foreign
economic administration, -indi
cates a major change in the at
titude of President Roosevelt to
ward leadership by - experienced
justness men.
the past, appointments of
tnis scope were •usually given to
experienced New Deal diplomats,
to men of political importance or
to professors. These recent ap
pointments show the importance
which the President now attaches
to economic experience in solving
the complicated problems of in
ternational relations which we are
now facing and which will become
increasingly important as the war
nears its end.
These appointments have been
lauded by Republicans and Demo-
crats alike, for it is realized by all
that neither of these men have
political ambitions and are serv
ing their country w’ith no selfish
molive. Mr. Stettinius was one of
the highest paid business men in
the nation bei.-re v.- unvr his
job to become Lend-Lease admin
istrator. And Mr. Crowley quit a
$5O,G00-a-year position to head
the office of. economic warfare
without pay. In his* new post he
receives a salary of $10,000 a year
—the first pay he has accepted
from the government. >
As head of the lend-lease
gram, Mr. StetWhFos
more popular than most of our
government leaders in Russia and
it is expected that he will play
an important role in the compli-
pro-
cated meetings of the Allied na
tions which are now being plan
ned to reach agreements on peace
terms and on the treatment to be
accorded to conquered countries.
It is recognized by diplomats
here that any disagreement on
peace terms between Russia and
the democracies would be a real
diplomatic victory for Germany
and it is believed that, if anyone
can prevent a split-up of the aims
of the Allied nations, Mr. Stettini
us can. For there is little doubt
that an agreement must be ar
rived at on a business basis
whereby each nation will be as
sured of a favorable trade posi
tion in the future.
Most of the nations allied with
the United States, remembering
our attitude following the last
war, fear that we will again re
vert to a more or less isolationist
policy. But there is growing evi
dence that this will not happen
again. It is obvious that both
the President and Secretary of
State Hull favor strong interna
tional relationships and even the
house of representatives has in
dicated that it recognizes the im-
Iportance of working closely with
other nations. The house indi
cated this by passing a resolution
reading:
“Resolved by the House of
Representatives (the Senate
concurring^, that the Congress
hereby expresses itself as fa
voring the creation of appro
priate international machinery
with powef adequate to estab
lish and to maintain a just
and lasting peace among the
nations of the world, and as
favoring by^the
United States thereto, through
its constitutional processes.”
It is now expected that two
meetings will be held with Russia

Kindergarten At
Grammar School
Begins Oct. 11th
I have never seen a more gen
erous response or a better atti
tude than that shown by
farmers of McCormick County
during the 3rd War Bond Drive.
I wish to thank and commend
each community leader for the
fine piece of work turned in.
Small grain is the next step,
fellows—if you can’t increase your
acreage, by all means put two or
three hundred pounds of fertilizer
per acre under your grain. Seed
oats are as scarce as hen’s teeth;
if you can’t buy, have your old
seed cleaned and treated for smut
before planting—Plant this week,
by Oct. 15 if possible.
Winter cover is just as impor
tant to your land as it is for the
“Bed” you sleep on. We have a
limited supply of Austrian Winter
Peas and Vetch for you now. A.
A. A. payments have been in
creased for soil building.
All livestock should be treated
and good sheds provided for the
winter. Of course, all the hay
and other food should be stored
for these animals.
That fall garden is falling flat.
Plant something* for green food
and save your “green-back”.

Eight More Days
To Mail Christmas
Parcels To The
Soldielrs Overseas
Postmaster J. E. Bell wishes to
call attention to the patrons pf
this office that October 15th is
the last date that Christmas par
cels can be accepted for mailing
to soldiers overseas. He states
that the Post Office Department
advises that the mailings thus
far have only been about half
that they anticipated, therefore,
there are only eight more days
that Christmas parcels to the
soldiers overseas can be accepted.
