COMMON COURTESY
Are You Doing Your Part?
ON JOB HUNTING

lAssOeiated Press Feature ServieeD
! If you're hard at work, you're
probably not doing some of the
things you promised yourself
you'd do when you got where
you are.
Some men say: when l get a
job I'll certainly do what 1 can
for the man who's hunting one. ;"
They mean it at the time. The
trouble is that they get so busy
they forget. Not only that-they
actually are humble enough
sometimes to think that the lit
tie they can do won't mean any,
thing. Sometimes they don't
even know how much their word
counts.
With job-seeking time here
again, it's appropriate to think
about what you're doing to help
applicants. In the first place,
you can write thank-yous to
those who helped you. It's not
too late. They'll likely be only
too glad to hear how you're get
ting along.
You can nearly always give a
person an introduction or two in
his field. But make it merely an
introduction unless you can write
sincere recommendation In
sincere letters too often sound
like device for getting rid of
jobSeeker.
If you are an executive you'll
give applicants a lift in spirit by
giving them a hearing. You may
not have a job to offer, but the
fact that you see an applicant
may make it easier for him to
approach another executive.
Your professional manner will
teach him something he can learn
nowhere else. Even your ability
to dismiss him with a smile can
help his morale. It's a good in
vestment of time. Who knows
but that the name added to your
files may be the very one you'll
pick some day to add to your
payroll
After you help someone get a
job, you should make it con-
venient to inquire about his prog
reSS.

NOT WHOLLY DARK

The effects Of war are always far-reaching.
A current example is offered in the with
drawal of Scandinavian ports from American
commerce.
Wilmington is destined to feel the pinch OF
this necessary federal order. Many Norwegian
ships have annually cleared from this port,
with cargoes destined for their home mar
kets. Now this trade is lost to the port.
JOHN BRIGHT HILL, collector of customs
just returned from a conference at which a
coordination program was drafted, could not
for obvious reasons, put a figure to the loss
but believes the total will be large. But il
would be folly to put too much emphasis on
it. There is always some bright spot in every
dark situation. Wilmington may hope to off
set this handicap upon the ports business by
going after new business in other directions
And it is worth while to remember that
even wars come to an end. There will be
more commerce than ever for Wilmington
once the fighting stops. Europe will be in
dire need of American products, with sc
many of it's men withdrawn from peace-time
occupations. 1t will take years for the Euro
pean countries at war to recognize their do
nestle production. During this transition pc
Rod the demand for American goods of al
sorts will be large-probably larger thar
we can meet.
TIL only need, to share fully in postwar
commerce, will be for Wilmington to build W
its port that it may compete with other
American ports in facilities, terminals, rates
and service,
This done, We may count definitely on port
commerce which will assure prosperity in al
Wilmington business circles.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-04-14
STAMP PLAN ENCOURAGEMENT

1T is gratifying to all interests in Whining
L ton and New Hanover county that both
the federal agency with food stamp admins
tration in hand and Senator BAILEY are COM
mitted to further the plans introduction here
when new cities are selected for its applica-
ton.
With the necessities of life obtainable di,
rectly from retail stores, there would be ad-
vantage to merchants and a degree of indie
pendence for beneficiaries which neither
group could enjoy while distribution is re-
stricted exclusively to surplus commodities
warehouses.
Under the present setup here %reliefers are
unable to escape the feeling that they are re-
ceiving aims, and lose face in consequence.
The embarrassment a trip to the supply cen
ter entails inevitably brushes a will to get
out of the rut of poverty and non-support.
Under the stamp plan, which requires the
client to pay a part of the cost, the person
compelled by circumstances to accept federal
bounty or go hungry is relieved of the hui
initiation outright charity imposes and rises
to the level of an Independent shopper. 1t is
not unreasonable to believe that this change
in station stimulates ambition to be wholly
self-supporting and spurs the individual to
unaccustomed effort to find gainful employ
ment. The plan, in this way, becomes an in
strun1ent for solution of the unemployment
problem.
There is no doubt that free distribution
of foodstuffs tends to make idle persons
lazy, and Indifferent to work, even when it is
obtainable. For many, charity encourages
thriftlessness. This may be overcome in large
measure by requiring %reliefers to share the
burden of their relief, which the stamp plan
does.
1t would be helpful if Wilmington could be
transferred from the old to the new system
when cotton goods are added to the commodi-
ties for relief distribution, as adding one
more city's relief rolls to the effort to dis
pose of the nations large cotton surplus.

IS RUMANIA NEXT?

Inasmuch as HITLER warned neutral nations
that any diversion of supplies from the Reich
would be taken as an unneutral act, Ru-
mania's suspension of shipments to Germany
appears to afford HITLER excuse to carry his
war into the Balkans.
Dispatches from Bucharest do not indicate
that Rumanian products are being diverted
to the Allies. They merely say that deliveries
to Germany have ceased. But the fuehrer may
be expected to find in this merely a distinc-
ton without a difference, and use it as the
signal for a thrust on new territory in his
frenzied campaign for supplies, from lack OF
which both his military forces and civilian
population are beginning to suffer.
The German overload sought to gain the
necessities of life and of warfare from Scan.
dinavia by a violent attack on Norway and
unresisted advance in Denmark. Finding the
going hard in the north, with England rush.
ing ships and planes to defeat or bottle uI
his navy and lay more mines in widening
areas, and the Norwegians putting up a stiff
defense, HITLER would be quick to hunt other
supply bases.
The Balkans, particularly Rumania, have
long been in his eye. He has had not only a
fair flow of products from them but has also
seen them as a barrier against possible flanl
attack by the Allies. The Siegfried line op
poses a practically impregnable barrier tt
frontal attack in the west. But north an(
south of it the Reich is open, provided neu
trail nations at either end should join the AL
lies, or the Allied command violate their neu
trality first. This was one predisposing reas
on for HITLER's move in Scandinavia. 1t ma!
easily be the cause of another in the south.
By suspending the loading of freight car
for Germany, Rumania lays herself wide open
1t is possible the decision was taken with az
proval and cooperation of the Allied com
mand. as a means of drawing a large German
force into a trap and Of opening a line o
march for their own armies in a flank move
ment against HITLER's Westwall.
