Safeguards Needed

Shall Wilmington's water consumers pay full
price for service while the water is undrink-
able? Commissioner of Public Works James
E. L. Wade says he does not know the answer
but promises that the city government will
deal with the question when and if it is brought
to official attention.
It is hard to see why water should not be
subjected to the same rule that governs dis
posal of damaged goods in general. Any COM
modify that suffers deterioration is marked
down.. And water for domestic consumption
is a commodity. Water consumers are entitled
to a reduction in their bills as long as the
supply is below par.
But that is a minor consideration. The prob.
lem for the city administration, which must
be solved now, is adequate safeguards for the
water supply SO that this situation may not
arise again. The people of Wilmington are
justified in expecting that they will never
again have to face the inconvenience of going
outside their homes for drinking and cooking
water unless, of course, an earthquake or
ether major disturbance should break mains.

After Bremen Pass

The Axis program has been subjected to
some hard jolts of late. Hitler's schedule has
not been workable. He had intended to take
England five weeks after his big campaign
started on July 10. The Japanese treaty was
to have followed Britain's surrender. But with
equinoxial storms and the Royal Air Force at
work, Britain refused to lay down arms and
the Japanese treaty was rushed through in
the hope that it would scare the life out of
both Britain and the United States.
Failing to reach that goal in either nation.
Hitler and Mussolini met in the Bremen Pass
to see what other scheme they could cook up,
What that is likely to be is a carefully guarded
secret. 1t may be that they will unite for an
African campaign, that an offensive will be
launched in southeastern Europe, that another
tremendous attack will be launched against
England. Only the inner circles of the Axis
can tell, and they are silent.
But whatever form the Bremen Pass pro-
gram may have taken, there can be little
doubt that the United States was raked over
as with a fine-toothed comb. There can be
small doubt that the present political situation
was closely examined and even less doubt that
Hitler and Mussolini sought ways and means
Tor striking a heavy, hopefully a deadly, blow
against Britain before our national elections.

Editorial Comment
DEFENSE
Fayetteville Observer

Could an invader from across the Atlantic
effect a landing in force at Wilmington and
then push rapidly up the Cape Fear to capture
Fort Bragg and flank Americas entire system
of coastal defenses?
That is the picture presented by Whining
tonlans who are calling the attention of the
Nation to the vital part their area plays in
the important business of national defense.
1t will be remembered that during the Civil
war the Unionists considered Wilmington a
key-point of the Confederate coastal defenses
and launched attack after attack against Fort
Fisher.
When Fisher finally fell in the last year OF
the war, the Confederacy fell close behind it.
Its strength, protecting Wilmington, enabled
the Confederacy to carry on the war much long.
er than might have been the case had the I'm
ionists been able to shut off the much-needed
supplies which the blockade runners brought
in from abroad.
Wilmington today should be amply protected
by forts, airplane bases, deeper waterways,
and whatever else is deemed necessary for
it's defense.
1t, or Southport, would be an ideal landing
base for any attacker because the enemy
would be able to operate with one flank pro-
tected by the broad reaches of the Cape Fear
river.
And now is not too soon to begin preparing
for any eventuality of invasion. We must not
be caught mapping in the belief that our At
lantic coast is invasion-proof. The construction
Of a secondary line of defense is highly ad-
visable. . ]
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-10-08

been closed in November, the United States
will step up its defense program and its aid te
Britain on a larger scale. If they are to win,
they understand that it must be quickly. Once
politics is adjourned in this country and the
national effort concentrates exclusively on de.
tense and aid to Britain, the hope Of IN Axis
victory will fade more and more.
It is reasonable, therefore, to expect a ma
jor drive in Europe or Africa, or perhaps on
both continents simultaneously, in the near
future, and even possible that Japan will ex-
tend its activities in the Orient to harass Brit
ish interests and stir the United Staes so pro-
foundly in that quarter of the globe that aid to
Britain will be lessened.
The Bremen Pass conference indicates that
will not bring a temporary cessation of
hostilities, but is more likely to see them as
sumo greater, more grim and deadly pro-
portions.

Fire Prevention Week

Notwithstanding that Wilmington's fire loss
is amazingly low, it is important that no
effort to make it even lower be withheld.
For this reason Wilmington's participation
in Fire Prevention week ought to be considered
an essential duty by all citizens. All fire
hazards in homes should be studied-and re-
moved. CupbcaTds, attics, cellars should be
searched, fues cleaned, trash done away with,
loose matches placed in fireproof containers.
These are things which householders must
DO for themselves. The fire department can
not dig cut the crannies and inches. That job
is up to the families within the homes. Ard
the number of alarms answered, the loss OF
property during the year until another FIRE
Prevention week rolls around, will be governed
in large measure by the thoroughness with
which the Job is done-or the way it is shirk-
ed.
Special effort is to be made this week to
impress. the children in school with the inn
p~ortance of preventing fires, and it is well
that this is so, for the youth of the city
can do efficient work not only in removing
existing hazards but in seeing that others
are not created. But the chief obligation rests
upon adults-the heads of families and of
business firms.
One way that the latter group, can help is
to see that stairways, doorways, halls and
windows are clear of all obstruction so that
the way of firemen will not be impeded if a
blaze. should start and that fire escapes are
installed wherever required.
It is worth considering that the value of
Fire Prevention week will be in exact pro-
portion to its observance by Wilmington's citi-
zens.

Swiss Funds

Switzerland IS rapidly assuming an impor-
tant role in European hnance-what there is
left of it. In New York banking quarters it
is said that more active selling of securities
in the metropolis on Swiss account was noted
last week.
Estimates are difficult to obtain of the net
amount of his liquidation, but it can be safely
said to run to more than $500 900 a day when
the market is strong. This selling comedies
with the rather pronounced strength in Swiss
exchange.
The repatriation of Swiss funds in the Ameri.
ran market is said to be traceable to fears
that the availability of Swiss balances in
America may be impaired. 1t is pretty gen.
orally appreciated that a sizeable quantity Of
the balances nominally standing to the &C.

WATER SUPPLY
Dear Sir:

In view of the serious condition
of the water supply of the city due
to the salt content of the water, is
it not important to consider aban-
doning the present source of the
water supply and move to some
other site where this problem of a
proper water supply will be per
manently solved? Perhaps it would
cost considerable money but any
expense would be justified to give
the city an ample supply at all
times of pure, safe, drinkable wa.
ter.
1t would hardly be a difficult
matter to find such a site as Will
mington is almost surrounded by
water and modern engineering
methods can purify water and rem
der it wholesome taken from al
most any source.
Various official and civic organ
izations and individuals are max
ing great efforts to increase the
population of the city and build up
its industrial life, but the reputa-
ton of a bad water system is one
ofthe worst advertisements the
city can have.
In addition to the inconvenience
to the people in having temper
arily, water unsuited to their per-
sonal needs, it's use for industrial
purposes must be considered. Salt
water is damaging to boilers, pip
ing and other mechanical equip
ment using water unless manufac-
tured for salt water use. Because
of the expense of this specially
manufactured equipment it is as
sumed that little has been installed
in the city. This raises a serious
problem of repairs and renewals.
This condition of salt in the city
water has arisen ',efore and may
be expected to arise again. It
would seem wise to settle this
question of Wilmington's water SUD-
ply as speedily as possible for all
time.

Adjournment Unwise

With the passage of the last big defense
appropriations, 482, 600, 900 to feed, clothe,
equip and train the new conscript army-the
movement for congressional adjournment is
once more beginning to revive. The proposal
has as many lives as a cat; each time it
apparently has been killed off it hobs up
again. And this time the leaders of the adj
journment drive feel that they have a good
chance of success.
Enactment of this last measure, they can
point out, virtually completes the program
of defense legislation laid before congress. Al
together, appropriations and authorizations
made for this purpose this year add up to
$12, 148, 532, SIG, more than can be spent for
many months to come. They argue that no
foreseeable emergency can require any more
action before the new congress meets in Janu-
airy.
All of this ignores the basic fact that we
are living in a time of crisis when congress
should be Immediately available for action,
as has been abundantly and repeatedly proved
this summer. The largest part of the defense
program now on the books would have been
seriously delayed if the pushers for adjourn
ment had had their way before. The world
situation which has made it essential for con-
gress to remain in nearly continuous session
has not improved; if anything it is worse
and more confused than before.
Congress has a clear duty to remain in
session for the duration of the emergency
with the exception of brief recesses. That is
its obligation; it is what the American people
want it to do.
The fact that the legislative slate is re-
latively clear of defense proposals for the
moment and that a national election is due
next month are no excuses for adjournment.
New needs may arise, and new vital de.
cisions may be called for at any moment.
Recesses can be voted to give senator's and
representatives time to go home and campaign.
The essential thing is to have the legislative
branch of the government in working order,
ready for instant action, if and when it is
needed.
