Saturday, March 16, 1940- A POLITICS By GEORGE WRIGHT BRITAIN SAYS IMPORT BANS TO SOON War Is Blamed For Sudden Halt -VALLEY MORNING STAR KNOW AS WELL as you do that still a bit early for political announcements and activities, but some way we get over how strangely quiet things have been with regard to the county judge races in Hidalgo, Cameron nad Willacy counties. In Hidalgo county one man, J. C. Looney, has sailed his hat into the ring, and seems to have received the blessing of the incumbent. Judge Oliver Aldrich, who once again by this act has given strong indication he again seek the office he 0 now holds.

Any Opponents? But where are the other candidates, if any? We heard rumors some time back that Mayor Horace Etchison of McAllen and Joe Atkinson, Pharr, former county commissioner, would both take a shot at the county judge spot; but of late heard little about either of them or any other possibilities. In Cameron county, it is assumed Judge Oscar Dancy will ask for re-election, but little is said about opponents. We heard once, weeks ago. that Jim Ward of San Benito might run, but there the matter rests for the time being. In Willacy county, County Judge Charles Johnson in short announcement has let it be known he wants another term, and as yet no opponent has offered to make it a contest.

They have had rumors going around in Willacy that one or more opponents would offer for job, but nothing definite as to who it would eventually be, or whether anyone would offer. Sheriff Races In High In the sheriff races of three counties. there has been considerably more activity, candidates coming right out and declaring themselves. Sheriff Bob Daniel spoke out long ago and said he would run again, and many weeks ago Frank B. Freeland said he was after Candidates have wasted little ''time getting on the line in Cameron county too.

for Tom Morrison of Combes filed at first opportunity, and Sheriff Art Goolsby and his former chief deputy. Will Cablcr, taken up too much time in getting into the thick of the campaign. Willacy county sheriff candidates also got an early start with Mack Chrestmas, Sheriff Joe Turper, Tom King and probably Luther Snow in the race. Snow said yet he will do, but Willacy folks consider already as much in the race as the other three. Is It Too Early? So there you are.

One of the big posts in each county offers so little in the way of something to argue about that it makes us figure it really is too early to talk politics; while another of the big offices in each county finds candidates so active, that it makes one wonder what the rest of the politicians are on. The picture certainly should be a lot more interesting a month from now. WASHINGTON Great Britain told American business Friday that her restrictions on imports of American products were in no way intended to divert British purchasing to other markets permanently. The British Ambassador, Lord Lothian, issued a formal statement that control of imports was a result of the war, meaning that it would end after the war. Tobacco Buying Ends There has been considerable apprehension in this country that the control measures might permanently injure American producers.

For example, Britain has virtually ceased buying American tobacco and is purchasing from Turkey instead. It is feared British smokers will become habituated to Turkish tobacco and will go on buying it after the war. Secretary of State Hull expressed satisfaction that discussions were continuing with Allied experts to safeguard American commercial interests. Exports On Increase Hull also pointed out that although British buying of some American products had greatly declined, total American exports to Britain had increased considerably since the war began, and sales to France had more than doubled. The British statement was occasioned by the receipt of cables from London that canned and bottled fruits had been added to the list of goods for which import licenses were required.

He explained that the licensing had been necessary because of the very large stocks of these products now held in Great Britain. growFunux wn Page 3 Confucius say the high cost of living is not such a serious matter with many people, as is the cost of high living. F. L. Phillips, Raymondville.
