Is that SO? I wonder il my fellow
scribe has heard about the 'catapult
party" given by German Ambassador
Hans Dieckhoff in New York Herbor
last Saturday. The Nazi ENJOYS
guests, including some so aviation
experts, witnessed the thrilling spec
tacle of great 700-horsepower Diesel
engined four-motored seaplane rushing
into the air at the rate Of 80 miles an
hour less than two second after it
had been standing still on the deck Of
the German motorship Friesenland.
1t appears that these catapult take
offs occurred on a regular weekly
schedule all through the past summer
and for two previous summers. The
German air marine (Deutsche Luf-
thansa) has four ships Of the Friesen-
land type. specially constructed to act
as bases for seaplanes like the Nord-
wind, the plane that took off before
the Ambassadors astounded guests.
Two of these base-ships are used in
the company's Southern Atlantic mail
service. which serves ports in Central
America and on the West Coast of
South America.
It goes without saying that If the
Nazis can catapult planes for peace
purposes in our waters they could con-
celvably utilize them for surprise at

AN UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

Do you know that the residents of towns and
cities in North Carolina pay an estimated 70 per
cent of the total automobile license and gasoline
taxes collected by the state, and yet actually only
two per cent of all the state-coected highway fund
is used within municipal corporate limits?
Far from being adequate, this paltry remittance
must be supplemented heavily by general municipal
property tax leves and special assessments for the
construction and maintenance of streets. Deiin-
quences in the payment of assessments and taxes
by property owners, loss of homes through tax
foreclosures, and defaults in the payment of prin-
cpal and ip-erest on municipal bonds have been
the result of progressive street Improvement pro-
grams which should have been more largely financed
by the return to towns and cities of more equlta-
bic share of state-collected highway funds
After previous unsuccessful attempts, the NUM-
cpalities through their League in 1885, hnally sue
ceeded in perSuadng the General Assembly to ap-
propriate 100000 annually for the maintenance
of state highway links within towns and cities.
Only after determined battle by towns organized
into active and powerful League was this recog-
milton of the existence of municipalities made by
rural-minded legislature.
One group of city officials meeting in Raleigh
last month expressed themselves as favorlng legls-
lation appropriating an additional S5OO,OOO an
nually for municipal Streets not only those form
ing part of the state highway system, but also
those serving as county highway links. This pro-
posed 81 100000 total annually should be used for
construction and reconstruction as well as for
maintenance. This would be step in the right
direction.
Only through concerted effort will 1t be possible
to eliminate this discrimination and secure more
equitable Observation-Disclosures News.

This is the first of the limiting factors IN the

of private initiative wants to see the RFC or any
other government lending organization IN competl-

any other business enterprisers. And, since money
is the lubricant of enterprise, it is incumbent upon
modern government to supply accommodation

The only objection to such gap-flling is that it
