doomed anyhow. It is not in-
tended here to argue the
merits or demerits of the stand
taken by the State Depart-
ment, with - the apparent ap-
proval of both parties in Con-
gress. What is economically
important, ideologies aside, to
the Southern cotton grower is
that one of our remaining for-
eign markets has been, or is
about to be, eliminated. In 1938
Japan purchased from us near-
ly twice as much as we bought
from Japan. And of the $209,-
000,000 worth of commodities
we sold Japan, $52,850,000
represented cotton sales.
The removal of that much
income from the cotton indus-
try means that it must be re-
placed somehow by increased
domestic use or by additional
purchases elsewhere abroad.
The National Cotton Coun-
1 cil’s program of increased
domestic use of cotton through
' new. outlets, and the creation
of more demand for present
cotton merchandise through
1 advertising and the elimination
of unfair interstate barriers, is
admirably suited to the taking

TAKE UP THE SACK
Whatever one’s reaction to
the notice served by the Unit-
ed States upon Japan that the
trade treaty of 1911 is to be
abrogated in six months, all
observers agree that it deals
another immediate blow to the
cotton export trade.
It can be pointed out, of
course, that if Japan succeeds
in her attempt to conquer
China, and can turn the cotton
producing areas of China to
her own needs, the Japanese
market for American cotton it

SHIPS TO GERMMY
SUSPENDED
Washington, Aug. 27. (UP)
—All sailings of American pas-
senger vessels to German ports
have been suspended, it was
learned tonight in high quar-
ters.
What wai Come Next?
What’s going to be produc-
ed in Bast Texas next?
That’s what we are begin-
ning to wonder now that a
farmer living near Athena haa
found a process for -"-.king
watermelon syrup. For years
East Texas ribbon cane syrup
has been well known all over
the country. Other things,
the product of East Texas soil,
have-also made this country
famous as an agriculture re-
gion, although we had never
dreamed that any product
would be found that would
make as delicious syrup as
that produced from the fa-
mous East Texas ribbon cane.
F. M. Lockaday is the Hen-
derson county fanner who has
developed the process for turn-
ing watermelons into syrup.
He made the discovery after
more than a year’s experi-
ments with this prolific pro-
duct of the East Texas soil.
Now he says a 45-pound melon
will produce a gallon of syrup.
If it proves delicious, Mr. Lock-
aday undoubtedly has a solu-
tion for the surplus watermel-
ons in East Texas.
It would be a fine thing if
we could build here a big
syrup factory just as other big
factories for making syrups
have been built in other parts
of the country. There isn’t any
use for an East Texas farmer
finding something like this and
then shipping the raw ma-
terials to the East to be manu-
factured into the finished pro-
duct and then shipped back to
the South. If Mr. Lockaday
has found a syrup that will sell
like other syrups we ought to
build right here in East Texas
the institution that will turn
the raw material into the fin-
ished product and then ship
that product to other buying
centers.
That has been one of the
South’s handicaps these many
years. We have been rich in
resources, rich in raw materi-
als, but poor so to speak, in the
building of factories to head
the harvest from the fruits of
our labors. Who knows but
what making watermelon
syrup may yet become a great
industry, common only to East
Texas, the garden spot of the
country.—Tyler Morning Tele-
graph.
While fiahing cm the lake
this summer with mother and
daddy, Patsy Ann suddenly
threw her fishing pole into the
bottom of the boat and ex-
claimed, “I quit!”
“Why, Patsy, what is the
matter ” asked mother.
“Well, mother,” she answer-
ed, "I just can’t seem to get
waited on!”—Houston Post.

UNCALLED FOR CHANGE
A number of years ago, most
of us realized that we are liv-
ing in a changing Dation, but
the latest proposed change is
one of the most absurd which
has yet been proposed. We re-
fer to the proposition of the
President to change the date
of Thanksgiving Day.
Personally, the editor of this
newspaper is very well satis-
fied with the celebration of
Thanksgiving Day on the last
Thursday in November. Any
other day simply wouldn’t he
Thanksgiving for ns.
It’s enough trouble to keep
up with holidays as it is now
without making changes in
’hose which have been estab-
lished for a century.
It wouldn’t surprise us in
he least to hear that some
higl, mogul is proposing to
chance Christmas to some oth-
er i ate. It makes about a?

Austin, Tex. (UP)—Sen Joe
Hill of Henderson predicted
Saturday that Gov. W. Lee O’-
Daniel would call a special
session of the legislature this
fall to head off “very drastic
cuts” in Texas pension pay-
ments.’’
“The full administration of .
the social security program is
in his hands, through the ap-
pointment by him of the new .-
"welfare" board, and will be
to some extent determinative
of whether he has a real de-
sire or only a simulated one to
help the aged,” Hill said. “If
he will call the legislature now
for revenue, he can get the
glory and the revenue too.”
“After the first of Septem-
ber all the so-called Snoopers’
will he his appointees and it
remains to be seen if there is a
change in policy.”
