The Seaforth News, 1949-07-14, Page 2''Poor Timber" Business Booms -Old-timers used to say "there's not an inch of good lumber
in a square mile of it," but forward-looking timber farmers are ready to turn North Caro-
lina's old -field softwood trees into profits. The secret is a creosoting process which makes soft-
wood timbers last up to 30 years instead of five. Small plants like the one above can turn out
up to 600 fence posts a day, at 65 cents a post. Lumber, crossties and electric light poles are also
produced from timber formerly considered worthless.

Anxieties regarding Anthony
Eden were dispelled by his appear-
ance of perfect health when he
turned up in Parliament after the
recent recess. illis collapse while
snaking a speech in the open air is
said to have been nothing but a
touch of the sun -of which Britain

The Socialist Cause was dealt a
rather seveee blow a week or 50
ago whnn. in the House of Lords,
Lord Milverton. well-known Social-
ist Veer announced that he was
cutting his connection with the
Party.
Ir, a dramatic speech Lord Mil-
verton said that for years, as Gov-
ernor cf \,_(:ria, he had endeav-
oured to to aim the blessings of free-
dom to a :-ackward people who had
never h:,,t any. NOW. in Britain,
he re. used to preach the advantages
of slay -try to a people who had al-
ways known freedom.
"1 thought I was taking part in
a crusadr," he said, "but now I find
it has Leconte a rake's progress."
There was an interesting time in
Parlianleiit when the Conservatives
tried out their strength by Moving
an amendment to the Finance Act
calling for a reduction of the stand-
ard rate of income tax by sixpence.
The Government, after a tough bat-
tle which lasted till the early morn-
ing hours, staved off the attack, and
the standard rate remains at nine
shillings in the pound. This means
that, three and a helf years after
the war, the British -people's income
tax rate is only a shilling less than
when they were at death grips with
the enemy.
THE FAR EAST
There are increasing indications
that the "cold war" continues to
spread in the Far East. The widely -
held idea that the Chinese Com-
munists might find it advantageous
to keep friendly with the Western
democracies, for business and other
reasons, received something of a
setback in a statement made by
Mao Tze-Tung, )the Red Chinese
leader, in which he hailed Soviet
Russia as China's "real ally" to
which he looked for help.
In Washington Secretary Ache-
son told a House Committee that if
Southern Korea did not get speedy
help from the United States it
might fall under Communiat dom-
ination before very long.
Communists continue to be busy
in Southesast Asia and there is evi-
dence of their activity in India as
well. And some thousands of Jap-
anese war prisoners recently re-
leased by the Russians arrived
home singing Communist songs
and apparently under the effect of
intensive Soviet training.
This, and much more like it, all
adds up to evidence of the need
for broader activities by countries
trying to block the spread of totali-
tarian communism. Just what is the

relationship between Soviet activity
in Europe and in the Orient is not

from the Far East certainly sup-

ring up world revolution.
THE UNITED STATES
One hundred and forty-nine years
ago a young elan named Eleuthere
Irenee du Pont, of the town of
Nemours in France, arrived in the
United States and began casting'
around for a chance to set up in
business. Deciding that American
gunpowder was both expensive and
inferior, in 1804 he founded a,$mall
black -powder plant near Wilming-
ton, Delaware,
Today the du Pont enterprise has
become an industrial empire with
total assets of more than one and
a half billion dollars.- The princi-
pal unit produces some 1200 lines
of chemical products including
rayon, plastics, nylon, cellophane,..
anti -freeze and Heaven only knows
what else.
In addition to this, the du Pont
family -which operates two holding
companies -has a $560 million in-
vestment, which amounts to a con-
trolling interest, in General Motors.
It owns 17 per cent of the United
State4s Rubber Company, and has
interests in other companies manu-
facturing tetraethyl lead, ethyl fluid,
ethyl chloride and refrigerants.
Recently United States Attorney,
General Tom Clark filed an anti-
trust suit in Chicago demanding the
breaking -up of the du Pont empire.
He charged that du Pont, General
Motors and L".S. Rubber used
secret agreements, price preferen-
tials and rebates to stifle competi-
tion.
The du Pont company denied that
its relationships with other organi-
zations have been either illegal or
detrimental to the people of the
United States, The president, Craw-
ford H. Greenewalt, whose wife is
-
a du Pont, said that Attorney Gen-
eral Clark is attacking "bigness in
business 28 Sych."
Altogether it shapes up as one
of the biggest and hardest -fought
suits ever known; and if you live
to see It finally settled -well, you
might have quite a span of }lie
ahead of you, at that.
