A Doubtful Nazi Blessing

.Japan. to all intents and purposes, is now a
member OF the Nazi-Fascist Axis. The treaty
she has signed commits her to economic and
military assistance to Berlin and Rome if and
when another nation enters the war on the
side of Britain. The "other government
though unnamed, is the United States. Ihere
can be no doubt of that.
The Axis may see an advantage in new al
lance. At the same time, the pact ltseH Is
proof that there is a definite fear IN Berlin
and Rome that this country might throw IN
with Britain and that such a move would
seriously ieopardize their chance of victory :
a chance which is shrinking daily.
It is not improbable that as a last resort
and if no other way existed for the democra'
cies of the world to maintain their separate
existence, the United States would enter the
war on the side of Great Britain. 1t is neon
ceivable that we would allow Britain TO IAN
without raising an armed hand in her defense.
Our national interests are too closely allied
with hers for that. And, because OF this pos
sibility. it is understandable that Rome and
Berlin should seek assistance from a nation
which could render nuisance dlu W uiSAA ~
creating a new war in the Orient.
But it is to be questioned If the situation
in Europe will force this country to take a
hand. Britain is doing a pretty good job as 1t
is, despite the Dakar blunder, which, in the
view of Kirk Simpson, Associated Press COM
mentator, is not so much a catastrophe as a
warning that Britain is capable of maintain
ing her control of the Mediterranean even II
Gibraltar should fall. In the view of certain
competent observers the United States is bet
ter able to assist Britain as an outsider than as
a contestant. Aside from production OF war
materials for British forces, which is going
on now, this country on the sidelines becomes
and will remain, an unknown quantity in the
war equation. Berlin and Rome, and now
Tokyo, will not know where to place the Amerl-
can 'x'' as long as we keep aloof from the
fighting and continue to pour out supplies and
munitions for Britain's use.
Thus, it may be reasoned, Hitler and Mus
solini have gained little from Japan's sigma
ture on the dotted line, while Britain, because
of this nations position and capacity to help
implement her forces, stands to gain much.
The treaty signed in Berlin shows exactly
where Germany, Italy and Japan stand. 1t
does not change the standing of the United
States at all, and therein is their lot made
harder and Britain's better.

Butler Sounds Warning

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Co
lumbia University, told a thousand student:
and teachers at the university's opening e.
forts to limit the work of individuals. The Unit
ed States, he said, is threatened with an an
tipathy to work which inevitably will lead tt
''an artificial class system"
A part of his address is so provocative il
is worth quoting verbatim. Said he:
Every attempt, by whatever authority,
to fix a maximum of productive labor by
a given time, 'is an unjust restriction up
on his freedom and a limitation of his
fight to make the most of himself in order
that he may rise in the scale Of the social
and economic order in which he lives.
Everywhere there is pressure to reduce
the hours of labor to a minimum and even
to reduce the production in those limited
hours to another minimum, neither Of
which has any relation to health, to IA
tigue or to the individuals capacity.
What may be the object of these efforts
to reduce labor to a minimum is not clear,
since they are not in the interest of him
who works; for if one can escape from
work or can find no opportunity for work,
he must become a dependent upon some
body or something. If an individuals only
desire is to do as little work as possible
and to be paid as much as possible for
doing it, then his case is hopeless.
1t is very true that no man should be over
worked under compulsion. But it is equal,
true that no man ought to be forbidden t.
work as arduously or as many hours as hi
wishes. If we must come to that and b.
consistent, what is to be done about the doc
tors, for example shall they tell their pa
tlents they must go without treatment be
cause the whistle has blown? Or must the
artist lay aside his brushes, the poet his pen
and punch a time clock? It sounds ridiculous
and In the doctors case inhuman. Yet, logi
cally, it is exactly what we must eventual,
come to.

German Morale

Nazl officials in Berlin keep on insisting
that British bombing raids on the German
capital and other cities of the Reich are do
ing no important damage. Their accounts of
these raids have been reduced to a formula
some houses were hit, a few civilians were
killed, otherwise the raid did not amount to a
great deal.
This pose does not fit the unconcealed Nazi
rage at the British. It does not fit the inten-
slfled aerial attacks on London. 1t gives color
TO the suspicion that the British are striking
nome and the Nazis are disturbed over the
possible effect on the German people.
Undoubtedly the bombs falling on Berlin,
%Stettin, Hamm, and all the other German
towns that have been visited by the British
liners have been a severe shock to morale in
the Reich. The British are not supposed to get
through the ''invincible' German defenses.
Besides, for months the official communicates
nave told OF terrific losses inflicted upon the
BRUSH by Marshal Goering's air force. Now
te German people are learning that their
'oe1enses are vulnerable and that the British

Time to Inspect Flues

The snappy weather Of the last few days is

ing is timely.
No one has forgotten the great number OF
fires when the bitter cold weather came last
year. We may not have such a period of ex-
IRENE cold this year, but to neglect to see that
all parts of ones home closely associated with
heating devices are fully protected would in

still have planes to crack them. BY this time
they must be beginning to wonder.
That is not all. Ever since the collapse OF
France the German people and the German
army nave been expecting an invasion of Brit
ain and with it a quick end to the war. The
invasion is yet to come, and even the gullible
German man-in-the-street must be asking why
and providing his own answer.
Winter is coming and the average German
knows by the daily hardships he must under

war materials, and he may know that Italy
is even worse off. He must be realizing that

Communications Board

There are certain obviously useful functions
created by executive order of the President.
II this country should even become involved
in war, it would become of the utmost impor-
lance to maintain communicat tic lines through
out the vast area over which our defense
forces would necessarily be spread. The ex-
listing facilities of the army, navy and air force
would form the basis of this network but our
commercial radio, telegraph, telephone and
cable services would probably be needed to
supplement them.
The boards duties, as defined in the order
creating it are apparently primarily concerned
with planning for the speedy and efficient
use of all necessary facilities in time of mil
and made recommendations for reallocations
where it sees gaps in the network.
This is the sort of thing which should be
done well in advance of any military emer-
gency although it is not entirely clear why it
is necessary to set up a special board to do
it. The army and navy high commands. if thew
are on the job, have certainly given the prob
lem OF maintaining communications in anv
conceivable emergency serious and prolonged
study. They should have their plans all drawn
and ready to produce the moment the need
arises.
If the President has other and more impor-
tant functions for the board, these are not evil
dent in the order. He specifically states that
'the board will not have power to censor
radio or other communications or to take over
any facilities"
Just what Mr.. Roosevelt intends the board
to do will undoubtedly become clear as it
swings into active operation and offers it's rec
concentrations. But at the moment it seems
to be designed primarily for study leading to
coordination of facilities with the further idea
that, if the United States does become in
volved in war, it will have a body already ia.

Dear Mr.. Page:
Relative to the articles that have
appeared in your paper for the
last few days regarding the condi-
tons at the airport, I wish to thank
YOU or~behalf of the members OF
the Wilmington Aero club.
I am taking this occasion to en-
close for your benefit, as well as
your reading public, an editorial
from the aviation newspaper Con-
TACT, which bears the heading
"An Airport Program-When Do
We Get One?" This article comes
as near converting the local situa-
ton as any I have seen, and I am
sure that if you could find room
on your editorial page for it, the
taxpayers of this city and county
would appreciate the value OF such
knowledge.
Again thanking you for your IN
~terest in the development OF avia-
ton and the airport in this COM
munity, I beg to remain.
Yours very truly,
