HOUSE APPROVES TREATIES

House approval of the HULL reciprocal trade
agreements continuation spurs belief that the
senate will take similar action and that in
consequence the United States will perpetuats
a policy which has done much to give the
nation a stable and commanding position in
world commerce.
Although the bill was bitterly fought, es-
pecially by members from the middle west,
where farmers contend the pacts have done
them wrong, the house vote was a %clear-cut
victory for the principle which Secretary Of
State CoRDELL HULL advocates, to wit, that by
strengthening trade relations with foreign
nations on a reciprocal basis the United States
has advanced the cause of world peace, and
Of prosperity among participating countries.
This, too, with much of the world in a state
of war. AS the Hartford Courant recently
commented: Despite the disordered state of
the world, we are doing pretty we'll; the re.
ciprocal trade agreements have not imperiled
our position"
But the fight on the agreements is by no
means over. The house vote did not settle
the matter. Nor will senate favor, if it's vote
follows the lead of the house. On the con.
trary, congressional approval seems destined
to make them a campaign issue of no mean
proportions. The republicans will include
them in their battle cry, with equal emphasis
to their cutlery against the rising national
debt, New Deal measures and budget provi
sions. The HULL program offers a fair target
as all democratic tariff legislation has al
ways done and the COP can be relied on te
uncork the walls of it's wrath against it.
But the favor for the agreements which the
house has shown is we'll calculated to in
crease Mr.. HuLL's chances of becoming thu
nominee of the democratic party when tn
time comes for selecting a candidate for the
presidency, and to advance his chance O.

TELEVISION NEAR

A television station in the mountains back

picking up and rebroadcasting programs orig

building in New York city. The experiments
have been so successful that engineers fore
cast wide use Of television shortly.

people in Chicago may see the sun set in
New York while it still is high above the
horizon in Chicago" Maybe that will be
something of a thrill for Chicagoans. It's
about the only thing they haven't seen.
But that is beside the mark. The important
phase of the announcement from Schenectady
is that television which radio engineers have
dreamed Of for a decade or more is at las
successfully operating in experimental service
and may soon be available for the genera
public.
When perfected, it will mark another mile
stone for American inventiveness.

SPEAKS PLAINLY

LESLIE HoRE-BEL1sHA, whose fortnight men
tai processes and sharp tongue shocked the
British prime minister, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, into
requesting his resignation from the cabinet,
is a hard man to silence. Convinced that
something needs doing, and should be done,
the former war minister mounts the most
convenient rostrum and says so. Thus, believ.
ing that England's security lies in helping
Finland now, not in some vague future, HoRE-
BELIsHA tells his constituency at Davenport
that England and France should make war
on Soviet Russia forthwith.
The risk Of helping Finland may be great,
he says, "but the risk Of not helping her
may be greater . She is holding the pass
OF civilization" Should Russia win, he says,
she will force advantages for Germany in
Scandinavia, where both Britain and France
seek food supplies, iron and timber. By halt.

the Allies would give new strength to their
cause and curtail the duration of the war;"

conjunction with STAIN obtains from their
mutual negihbors Sufficient supplies to saI

His views are said to have had immense
and startling effect upon his hearers. It will
be interesting to learn the reaction of the
British press to them, and even more inter
esting If the tone Of editorial comment is
commendatory. There is a growing opinion il
Great Britain that Finland is the real cente,
of disturbance in Europe, not the area trav
ersed by the two great defense lines in Ger
many and in France, or the welfare in prog
ress at sea. Even the London government
has tacitly admitted this fact at least in part
by withdrawing objection to enlistments II
England for service with the Firms.
But HoRE-BELIsHA would have the govern
ment 60 further than this. He would have /
take a hand in the struggle along the Arcti,
circle, not with volunteers but with armies
and planes and supplies and equipment OF
a major scale SO that the issue could not re
main in doubt. Perhaps, If the peoples voic
is raised in favor and the newspapers coin

NOTHING'S WRONG

\ QUESTION frequently heard is: ""nats
"A the matter with Wilmington" In many
cases it is asked not so much with the nope
of learning something upon which to oullo d
constructive program as in tacit criticism. 10
all who make the inquiry in this spirit. the
answer is: "Nothing's the matter with Will
mington." If there is anything wrong 1t IS
with the people who ask the question.
Wilmington, or any other city, for that mat
ter, is incapable of doing anything for ITSELF
and must depend upon what it's people DO
for it for progress. Basically, Wilmington is
Ia conglomeration of streets and buildings and
neonle. The streets and buildings are mani
mate. They merely exist. They have no power
inherently to move or grow or better them
selves. Only the people have these attributes.
This illustration is far from complete, but
if indicates that the people who want to
know, in a damning way, what's wrong with
Wilmington, are themselves the answer to
their question. Wilmington is right, not
wrong. In location and natural resources, in
BACKGROUND, environment, opportunity, no
CITY in the land is more right. 1t but re-
mains for the people to unite in a program
for development, and som of its people to
stop their harping, for it to reach the top in
leadership.
This is the thought Wilmingtonians ought
to concentrate upon. 1t is the only thought
that will send Wilmington up.

Editorial Comments
From Other Anqles
WITH OUR X
Fayetteville Observer

In the news Of the week has been the trou.
nles OF Ben M. Brewer, a gentleman who was
being paid the taxpayers money by the state
or North Carolina to promote highway safety.
Mr.. Brewer was eminently qualified to pro-
mote highway safety because in 1885 he was
sergeant-at-arms of the house Of representa-
tives of the North Carolina general assembly
and a lobbyist in subsequent sessions.
So he was deemed the best man possible
available for the state to employ to teach the
people Of North Carolina highway safety.
All went we'll and safety was widely dispers-
ed by Bro. Brewer until February S when
some constable arrested him at Apex on a
charge that he, the gallant highway safety
champion, was operating an utomobil under
the influence of whisky.
The safety agents defense when hailed be.

Then, almost too late--and maybe
it may prove to be too late yet
Russia's General Stern, the man
who takes his military objectives, no
matter what the cost in lives, took
over the Russian army, and showed
it into the Karelian isthmus, tho
only place where any invading army
should try to pass. He has 50 many
men, he doesn't even have to re-
form his divisions when they are
shattered against the Mannerheim
line. He merely withdraws theF1,
and replaces them with fresh troops
The American military experts
say these should have been tn
tactics last November 80, If Russia
intended to capture Finland before
spring.
If Russia doesn't make a clean
break through the Mannerhein Line
before spring, the Russian army may
look like Napoleon's after the re

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-There are
two gratifying moments in the es'
cane of travel. One is going away.
The other is coming home.
As a professional pursuer OF

get enough of Manhattan's daily

is colored by the geography. what
was defined as a New r bllzzara

And they are more tolerant of the

Of a cold snap in Florida is flashed
to New Workers, newsboys don't
scrimmage to the streets to exclaim
that an Arctic freeze has hit the

sub-zero winter prevails there. It's
all a matter, 1 guess, of a point OF
