PORT ESSAYS

ton as a port, explaining that her geography
class had chosen Wilmington for competitive
essays and she must learn more about the city
to do the subject and herself credit.
Here's an idea for some enterprising Will.
mingtonian who has his own name and bust
the port at heart. A STABLE prize, with lesser
awards to runners-up, for a statewide essay
contest on the Port of Wilmington would ad.
vertise the port as few other undertakings
could.
To be sure, the chief interest would be among
school children, but the children of today are
to be the men and women of a few years hence,
and North Carolina's prosperity then will de-
pend upon them and their effort. But there
would be contemporary advantage, too. Such
a contest would be widely exploited in the
press of the state, and at frequent intervals of
time, starting with its announcement and end
ing with the awards, with numerous articles
between times dealing with schools participant
Ing, individual entries and progress.
Few, indeed, would be the persons who would
not gain a better knowledge of the port through
such a contest. The advertising value of this
promotion could not be estimated in dollars and
cents, but equivalent space in newspapers
bought at prevailing advertising rates would
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, And adj
~vertising still pays.

Declares Next
President Must Fight
Spenders, Politicians

WASHINGTON, April S0.-R~
Charles G. Dawes said tonight that
the next president Of the Emitted
States would have to fight "the
largest army of government spends
ers, MASTERS and patronage-dispens-
ing politicians" in history to save
the nation from bankruptcy and
ruin.
The Chicago banker, who was the
governments first budget director
and served as vice-president in the
Coolidge administration, outlined a
comprehensive plan Of balancing
the federal budget in an address
prepared for delivery at the annual
meeting Of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
Speaking with some of the direct
nes that won him the nickname OF
Hell N Mariap' in World war
days, Dawes charged that President
Roosevelt's action in %abolishing the
federal coordinating service in 1888
vas one of the chief cause 'ot

Methodist Committee Urges
Roosevelt To Recall TAYLOR

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April 80.
-LR-The INSTRUMENTATION re-
lations committee of the Methodist
church today urged that President
Roosevelt recall his personal peace
envoy to the Vatican, Myron c.
Taylor.
"His (Mr. Taylor's) appointment"
the committee said in a report to
the general conference, has created
a spirit of uneasiness and resent
ment in the minds of a great num-
Der of people, and instead Of pro-
noting peace has engendered dis
cord and strife, which seems calami-
tous at this time when there is
imperative need for harmonious
united action on the part of all
those who fear God and love right
eousness."
The preamble to the report said:
1.-THE bill of rights, which guar
antees freedom Of religion, assem-
bly,, press, speech and other liber-
ties, is an essential part of the
constitution Of the United States.
Without it, this union of independ-
ent sovereign states could not have
been formed. -.
These principles must ever be
held sacred and inviolate by a lib
erty-loving people. It is our firm
belief that their preservation can
be accomplished only by maintain
ing the complete separation of
church and state. .. :"
The committee endorsed the state
ment made last week by the coun-
Gil of bishops opposing "any .stab-
lishment of diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and the United
States"
A statement attached to the re-
port said is of the committees &c
members were present when it was
J drafted, and gave it their approval.

born of the marriage, widows are eligible If
married to the veteran prior to May Is, 1888.
Childless widows would receive $40 a month.
Widows with children would receive $40 plus

dren but no widow, the rates are $12 for one
child, $18 for two children, $24 for three, and
So additional for each additional child. For
parents of a deceased veteran the rate is $40
a month for one, $50 for two.
The Veterans bureau estimates that the bill,
if enacted, would cover during the first year
81. 200 widows, %, 500 children without mothers,
and parents of 80, 300 deceased veterans. The
total cost for the first year would be about
S48, 500, 900 if all those eligible applied, plus an
unestimated amount for special cases. OF
course, as more and more veterans died in the
years to come, the amounts payable would in
crease, especially as tho provisions were more
and more liberal.
At present, all widows and dependent par
ents of World war veterans dying as a result
of the war are entitled to pensions.
If the veteran did not die as a result OF the
war but at the time of death had a disability
due to the war, his widow is entitled to a pen
sion if her income is less than 81, 600 If single
or 81, 500 if married.
The pending bill applies only to dependent
widows and dependent parents. dependent
is to be as defined by the regulations Of the
Veterans administration, which have consid-
erably lower limits than the $1,000 and 81, 500
income levels.
Veterans legislation has it's best chance in
an election year.
The original World war bonus law went
through over a veto in 1924, a presidential cleo
ton year. The bonus certificates were In effect
almost doubled in value, by being made pay
able at once, again over a veto, in 1886, anoth-
err presidential year.

GERMANS

It still is not clear what is transporting in
Norway, but indications are that the Germans
control the area, or most of it, between Oslo
and the strategic port of Trondheim, and that
the Allied effort to trap them Or force them
from easily gained positions has not met with
success.
The Germans claim their advancing forces
have established connections between Oslo and
Trondheim through rapid thrusts in the noun
famous regions of central Norway. If true, this
can easily prove a damaging blow to the
French and British, although the German line
is long and thinly defended, a circumstance
which could be utilized to their own advantage
by the Allies if a determined unter-offensiv
with sufficient strength were launched
promptly.
Attenuated defense lines are always hard to
hold and never more so than when inadequate
1y manned. 1t might turn out that in their i'm
petuosity to drive ahead, the Nazis have spread
their forces too thinly, although the German
high m can hardly have overlooked that
danger. The Nazis in Norway obviously are
operating on a campaign plan thoroughly
worked out long in advance of the invasion.
But the challenge has been accepted. The
Allies are less prepared for war than the world
believes them to be if they delay correcting
the faults which slowed their start in the
Scandinavian campaign. There is no reason,
yet, to believe them incapable of doing the Job
they set out to do. But they will have to learn
that initiative, wisely directed and competently
executed, is an important factor in vicory.
They cannot hope to prevail as long as they
let the enemy bring the war to them. Further
more, the moral effect Of failure to carry the
war to the Germans is not good for the Allies
or the nations whose sympathy they have.
There is one hopeful sign in the silence at
London and Paris. All the ~boasting has come
from Berlin. It may be that the Allies have
something up their sleeve with which to sur.
prise the Germans. If they have, they are justi-
fed in guarding it closely.

Man About
Manhattan
By George Tucker

NEW YORK, April 30.-Where are
the Kreugers and the Spoletos of
ye~steryear? And where r the Ros-
sis, the Oldenburgs and the Vas
seuis? These are great names in
the motor boat racing world. But
the war has taken them, and they
NAV v come to the regattas
again.
I was talking about these men
only last night with George SUIT
ton, the man who is chairman of
the International affairs committee
of the American Power Boat AS
ISOLATION, Sutton is a former presi-
dent of the association and knows
intimately everyone connected with
motor boat racing in Europe and
in this country. He thinks the
war has just about wrecked rae
ing-as it was. There will be com.
petitions, but with the European
stars eliminated by blitzkrieg and
mobilization, it can hardly be the
same.
All of these men mentioned here
are well known and highly regard
ed in America. They have raced
before the President, at Detroit and
on the coast. Where are they now?
Count Theo Rossi, the Italian speed
boat king and Gold Cup champion OF
the world, is a captain in the italian
army, and is modified. His coun-
tryman, the Duke of Spoleto, is COM
manding a torpedo boat flotilla in
the Red Sea. The Duke is a cousin
of the king and head of the Italian
Motor Boat Federation.
Commodore r. c. Kreuger is in
the German navy. In 1898 he and
his wife came to America and raced
successfully in the 1 IL litre class,
They became widely popular here
Like Rossi and the Duke of Spoleto,
Kreuger is n close personal friend
of Maurice Vasseui, the French mo-
tor boat champion. In his spare
time Vasseui manufactures airplane
propellers.
Another racing champion and
courteous sportsman we'll known
in America is Arthur Bray, an Eng
lishman, who has charge of the mo
tor boat patrol of the Thames. If
London is bombed, as many believe
it ultimately will be, it is planned to
evacuate much of the population by
the river. They feel it almost GER
tain that the seven great roads lead
ing into the heart of London will be
among the first objectives of Nazi
airmen.
Another British racing enthusiast
is Lord Forbes, 10th ranking peer
in the British Empire. He is an Of
ficer in the Royal Air Force. Kurt
Oldenburg is the cupboard champion
of Sweden and an officer in the
Swedish navy. 1t may be that by the
time you read this Oldenburg will
have an opportunity to display his
skill with boats that were designed
for more serious purposes than rae
ing after gold trophies.
In Sutton's possession is a letter
sent to him only eight months ago
by the Finnish government. 1t urges
him to interest many American
racers into entering the great re.
gattas which Finland, for the first
time, was to incorporate IS part Of
the 1910 Olympics. But now of
course there will be nc regattas.
There won't even be Olympics. And
Finland herself now is more sha-
dow than substance.
Still another champion is Alfred
Buysse of Belgium, who may lose
his life the very first day, if Bel
GUM is invaded. All of these men
have put away thoughts Of friend
ly competition on pleasant waters,
with a little gold cup hanging in
the balance.
