Pledge Of Unity

President Roosevelt's plea for national unity
was we'll spoken and we'll timed. His pledge
to work shoulder to shoulder with all who
place true Americanism above all other con-
siderations" is in the spirit OF the hour. 1t
was what all loyal citizens expect Of each other
and most particularly from the men who are
their leaders.
1t would be totally wrong to rate these
pledges as merely a temporary ''breathing
SPELL from partisan politics. The time has
long since passed when we could afford to re-
gard unity and cooperation on essential things
as something to be turned on or off like water
from a faucet between periods Of political
attack.
This is not the kind OF unity which breeds
strength. Nor is unity something which can
be purchased cheaply by a few words uttered
~ the aftermath of an election. Cooperation
between men of differing political faiths car
be created only by a continuing policy ex
pressed in deeds on both sides as we'll as
words.

Negro Council Calls For

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - Up -
The National Negro Council asked
today that the next supreme court
vacancy be filled by a g and
that President Roosevelt appoint a
negro as one of his six White House
secretaries.
The proposals were made in a reso-
luton adopted at a convention of
the council. The convention was
called by the United Government
Employees, Inc, leaders of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church, and
the National Baptist convention, Inc.
The resolution also endorsed "all
ald' to Britain, urged that all negro
army reserve officers be called to
active duty and placed in command
of the four negro regiments of the
regular army, and proposed appoint
hleht OF a negro civilian aide to the
secretary of the navy.

Copper And Defense

Although the possibility of a copper shortage
has been mentioned, there is little nervousness
on the subject in the industry or among legiti-
mate consuming interests, says the New York
Herald-Tribune.
The comparative stability of prices in the
face Of the recent heavy buying is taken to re.
fleet general confidence that supplies of the
red metal will be adequate for all normal in
dustrial as well as defense requirements, this
newspaper declares.
Arguing on this line, it is also felt that r.
as reported, the United States government is
buying copper from Chilean, Peruvian and
Mexican sources, the procedure is not due tc
lack of metal at home. Such a policy, the
Herald > Tribune believes, could be dictated
from consideration of price, the government

A Job For Historians

BEHIND the surprising resistance the Greeks
have been putting up against the Italian in
vaders there is a story that some day will
make absorbing reading. Today we can only
guess at some of the details of the intricate
web of intrigue that must underlie the pattern
Of events.
Recently Virginia Gayda, who often speaks
for Mussolini, offered an explanation to &C.
count for the inability of the supposedly Sill
perior Italian forces to wind up this campaign
in short order. The reason was, he said. that
Italy had had no intention of attacking Greece
but had been forced to take action to forestall
British Vaccinations aimed at using Greece
against Italy.
linus, when the decision was made. the
Italian forces in Albania were not ready. They
moved because they were compelled to at
tack, prepared or not, to prevent the British
from getting the jump on them. This case Of
olgnor Gayda's has a weak foundation, con.
slstlng of the threats made by Italy agains,
Greece last fall, but there is no doubt that
Mussolini's orders were given suddenly.
The Greeks have another story. They say
that the Italians were led to believe that the
Greek political structure would collapse a.
soon as the order to march came from Rome
They expected a revolution that would driv,
King George from his throne and unseat Pre-
mler John Metaxas. They were not prepare,
to cope with real resistance from a unite,

Friends Of Children

Because there are u, 900, 900 children in Eng
land, facing not only the peril Of death from
Nazi bombs but illness from exposure to the
rigors of winter, American sympathizers last
June organized a movement to provide them
with warm clothing. The organization is known
as Friends of Children, Inc, and cooperation
has been sought in its beneficient effort
throughout the country.
In Wilmington the project is sponsored by
the Social Service League, which this week
looks to parents of growing children % give
what can be spared from their own youngsters
wardrobes that some children in battle-torn
Britain may be snugly clothed throughout the
bitter months ahead. The service league asks
Wilmington's mothers who wish to participate
to call Mrs. Clayton Bellamy at 7419, Mrs.
Junius Smith at 6493, Miss Alice Borden Moore
at 4052 or Miss Leila Williams at $3.50. These
ladies will arrange to have all gifts collected,
tributions are sent to headquarters in Now
York from which they will be shipped to Eng
land.
1t is to be noted that this Friends of Children
organization is Independent of all other groups
seeking opportunity to relieve the suffering of
refugees on the European continent, where the
possibility exists that whatever is sent will be
confscated by the Axis. Its single object is
to ease the distress of English children, and
there is little reason to believe that any of it's
gifts will reach enemy hands. It is also
worthy Of note that the activities Of the organi-
cation are conducted without 'overhead'' ex-
pense.
Outgrown or outmoded clothing and shoes
are earnestly solicited. Surely they will be
gladly given.

A Cheering Message

How to prevent the defense program from
bringing on initiation, with all its disastrous
consequences, is a question that serious-mind
ed leaders of BUSINESS rightly are debating up
and down the land just now.
No one wants, specifically, an economic sit
uation in which the demand for goods outruns
supply and starts an ascending spiral of
prices, thus reducing purchasing power. When
such a movement starts no one knows where it
will stop.
Speaking before the Academy of Political
Science at New York City, Alfred P. Sloan,
chairman of General Motors, dealt with this
question of initiation, although it is more &C.
curate to say that he discussed broadly the
economic consequences of the defense pro.
gram. The solution to the problem, he indi.
Gated, is to be found in increased production.
AT the present stage of the defense program.
Mr.. Sloan said, it would be a mistake to cur
tail normal production for the sake of speed.
ing up production for defense because the eff.
feet would be to throw the economic system
out Of balance. He added that expenditures on
the scale now contemplated probably will not
fully absorb the nations full productive effort.
so a shortage Of labor does not appear likely
in the near future.
MIR. Sloan pointed out. however, that the
time may come when the slack of unenoploy.
ment has been taken up. Then it may be nee
essary to supplant the fve-day week with a
slx-day week, to keep output abreast with the
enhanced buying power of the nation. On the
Whole, it is a cheering message that if produc-
ton rises with demand we can avoid initiation

1.-THE need for this support" says the Rev
Mortimer Glover, general chairman Of the
canvass, was never greater than now wher
every effort must be made to maintain ano
strengthen our spiritual Defense"
That should be all the argument necessary
if other arguments are needed, the follow
ing are offered for the organization:
It is the best substitute for the home for
thousands of young men away from home.
It furnishes recreation providing for the
physical, social and moral welfare OF boys
and young men.
It is an athletic organization that does :,
not use men to promote athletics but uses
athletics to develop men.
It helps young men not only to help
themselves but to help the other fellow.
1t is the place for a young man to find
friends and to make himself a friend to
those who need friends.
It is not an experiment but the product
Of many experiments.
Wilmington's Y. M. c. A.. has for many
years played such an important part IN the
and athletic life of the community
no detailed account of its activities is re.
ouired. Suffice to say that it performs services
no other organization is capable Of perform
ing. The best measure of its usefulness may
be taken by imagining the loss Wilmington
sustain without it.
Gifts of course. must be determined by in.
dividual citizens, but if merit is to have any
upon the size thereof, as it should,
the individuals asked to give will stretch a
point, even to the extent of personal sacrifice,
that the work of the Y. M. c. A.. may not
only be continued but expanded in proportion
to the greater need and its larger opportunity
this period of national emergency.

'Mortals And Immortals'
Is Subject Of Sermon

"Mortals and 1mmortals," was the
subject of the lesson-sermon in all
Christian Science churches and socie-
ties yesterday.
The Golden Text was from John
1925. HE that loveth his life shall
lose it; and he that hateth his life
in this world shall keep it unto life
eternal"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: Il there
fore, the prisoner of the Lord, be-
seech you that We walk worthy of
the vocation wherewith We are called;
That We put off concerning the for
mer conversation the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts; And that We put on the new
man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness
Ephesians 4: /, %, 24l
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures, by Mary Baker Eddy: MAN
understands spiritual existence in
proportion as his treasures of Truth
and Love are enlarged. Mortals must
gravitate Godward, their affections
and aims grow spiritual,-they must
near the broader interpretations OF
being, and gain some proper sense
of the infinite,-in order that sin
and mortality may be put off. This
scientific sense Of being, forsakine
matter for Spirit, by no means sug
gests mans absorption into Deity
and the loss of his identity. but con
fers upon man enlarged individuali
ty, a wider sphere Of thought anc
action, a more expansie love, a high
er and more permanent peace.

Anyway, it was magic. Jimmy

were covulsed. Everybody was
convulsed including Olivia, who
blushingly justified the bark by ex'
