Embassy Changes

In answer to questions asked at his last
press conference concerning rumored changes
in the diplomatic corps, President Roosevelt
indicated that he was not ready to discuss
the subject. Specific inquiries got nothing more
than a presidential laugh.
Yet it is evident that changes are coming,
because they must come. The international
situation affecting us is critical. The President
himself has said so repeatedly. And Mr.. Bid
die, Mr.. Bullitt. Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Cudahy
are in this country, far from the foreign listen
ing posts they previously occupied. Naturally
this distressing situation will have to be cor
rected.
These matters should not be allowed to hang
fire indefinitely. Certainly in the case of Lon
don there is need for action. It is scarcely
less important that all other posts now vacant
be filled, and as far as possible with career
diplomats whose experience fits them for the
difficult tasks they must perform.
Perhaps the President, who is closer to the
situation than any one else in this country,

Roll Call Continues

Because OF the need of a large membership
and an adequate budget to carry out the Red
Cross program next year, the annual Roll
Call has been continued. the hope being that
the Wilmington goal will be reached by
Thanksgiving.
1t may be pertinent to reiterate the hope
expressed by the Red Cross officers before
the Roll Call was started that as many Viii.
mingtonians become members as are in sym.
pathy with the aims of the organization. This,
OF course, is comprehensive. It is assumed
that everybody who is familiar with the work
believes it should be encouraged and financed.
In view of the fact that the budget has not
yet been raised. it is evident that many more
contributions are needed. In the remaining
days of the campaign it is to be hoped that

More Consideration, Please

Have you ever been about to back your
auto into a vacant space at the curb, only
to have a motorist behind you swing into the
space and leave you stranded? OF course you
have. Everybody has this experience sooner
or later. And everybody finds it maddening.
There is no law on the statute books to
prevent it. Some drivers, therefore, may argue
that that settles the matter. First come, first
served. Their car is in the space, conseque ntly
the space is theirs. And from the LEGAL Jew
point they are absolutely right. But thele is
a law of courtesy which in effect designates
it "a dirty Irish trick"
The most u~naccountable aspect Of it is that
persons who are most courteous in all other
dealings are likely to be the first to resort
to it. Hosts who would rather be killed than
slide into a chair which a guest was about to
occupy, have no conjunction against steal
ing'' a parking space.
Clearly there is something wrong with our
manners when they are required to work only
in certain circumstances and not in others.

Mass Meeting Timely

The mass meeting at the courthouse tonight,
called by the Farmers-Civic Business Coopera-
tive Association, gains in importance with the
announcement that a training base is to be
established almost at Wilmington's door.
With a large complement of soldiers to be
quartered there it is inevitable that New Han
over county farmers will find a ready market
at home and not have to enter competitive
markets at a distance. The meeting tonight,
therefore, will offer an excellent opportunity
for discussion of ways and mans for meeting
the demand the new post will create.
Business men, no less than farmers, will
have reason to participate in these discussions
and help draft a program which will work
to the advantage of both groups no less than
to the buyers of the post. There is good reason
for every one in any way connected with
business or agriculture to attend.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-11-25
MussOlini In a Pickle

Mussolini's position becomes more hazard
GUS as each day passes. It is not only that
Mussolini has made promises he has proved
incapable of fulfilling. That is bad enough, OF
course. But there is every reason to believe
that the people of Italy, who have never had
much enthusiasm for the war role II Duce
has assigned the nation, are wearying OF the
load they are compelled to shoulder and are
muttering among themselves as people NUT
ter who begin to lose faith in what they have
been told will constitute their salvation.
In other words, it comes to light that the
spirit of revolt against Mussolini is abroad
in the land. Not all that has happened in the
iN-starred invasion of Greece has been told
the Italian people. But they know that the
triumphant march through Greece has been
turned into a rout, and are asking themselves
what has become of the pledge of victory
their duce gave them less than a month ago.
They do not know all that has happened IN
Africa, but do know that the fall of Egypt,
which was glowingly anticipated when Grazi-
Roman legions, has not yet come about nor
is likely to transpire speedily.
Mussolini's house of cards, they find. is
topping about them, and so there is a lessen
ing Of morale and a predisposition to do
something about it is forming in their minds.
It would seem that unless Hitler moves
quickly for Mussolini's relief the weak sister
of the Axis will be shunted completely aside
as a factor in the war. If the British, with
free French aid in Africa, could win a
decisive battle against GRAHAM, who doesn't
much want to fight anyway, there is no doubt
that Italy would be forced out of the conflict
completely.
An African victory, all things considered,
would go far to offset Hitler's present diplo-
matte drive among the small countries in
southeastern Europe. And who can tell? 1t
might even cause Stain to turn a cold shoulder
on his good friend in Berlin. Certainly it
would stiffen Turkeys back.

Time To Take Thought

The coming of the anti-aircratt training oase
a few miles to the north marks a turning poni
in the destiny of Wilmington.
Whether it shall be used to good purpose
or abused rests entirely with the people,
Such a large increase in the areas popu-
lation and spending power inevitably Will oflne
a degree of prosperity that has not been ex-
nerienced in many years. This can be a per-
manent benefit or an ultimate handicap, ac-
cording to the conduct of those it Will erect
It will be only necessary to treat THIS
! proiect as a boom affair and proceed on the
theory that to ''get while the getting is good
is the best course, to lay the foundatlon LOT
unprecedented hard times when the present
national emergency passes.
On the other hand, it will be necessary only
to treat this great opportunity as an occasion
for legitimate transactions at fair profhs'
whether in gimcracks or real estate-or any
other commodity-to have it prove a blessing
of the first magnitude.
The training base in the Holly Shelter region
will bring payrolls, to artisans during the
construction period, and to soldiers In train
ing, which will com close to a half million
dollars a month at least. They may mount
far above this conservative estimate.
The bulk of this money will find a natural
outlet in Wilmington. Trade will pick up ire
mendously. There will also be an increased
demand for dwelling places. And as prices
ordinarily are regulated by demand, it is to
be expected that they will advance as the
demand increases. This is a proper process,
and, adequately regulated, works to the good
of all concerned.
But it will be necessary for Wilmingtonians
to guard against temptation to increase profits
above a reasonable limit if they earnestly
want to gain a secure prosperity through the
increased spendings Of the forces at Holly
Shelter. That is to say, they must place a
definite ceiling on profits to avoid the storms
which otherwise would break over them.
There must be no gouging, such as has al
ready created a bad feeling in some other
communities where military posts have been
established.
Only defeat lies in that direction.
