CAMPAIGN:
SquabbIes?

Willkie found that his ardent sup
porters consisted of two groups: the
independent Willkie clubs, and the
dissident Willkie Democrats. His
less ardent supporters were a good
deal more basic. They consisted of
the Republican party regulars, in
and out of congress. The regulars
were grumbling like Napoleon's Old
Guard before Moscow.
Willkie himself is an ex-Democrat
and very Independent of the regu-
lars in his ways and habits. He is
disinclined to lean on the Old Guard,
although the Old Guard begs to be
leaned against. Old Guardisti COM
planned that the candidate was too
casual about consulting-and obey
ing-them. Then again, many of
the 0. G. are isolation-minded, while
the Independents and Democratic
refugees are inclined, like Willkie
himself, to be interventionists. De-
spite all the Hoosier getup, Willkie
definitely, they said, has an eastern
outlook (and maybe he has).
Some of the regulars, too, thought
that their man" Willkie was too
New Dealish. He did not denounce
many of the Roosevelt reforms, but
adopted them in principle. He
merely promised to improve the
administration of what the regulars
thought was racket. In fact, the
New Dealers said that Willkie was,
substantially, their man." too.
This made the regulars-the o. c.
huffier than ever.

Douglas air factory, near Santa

F. D. Bonaparte

F. D. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS found
himself in the same position as Ma
poleon, in the decisive year 1915.
Bonaparte proper had then served
two terms, and he wanted a third
one. His first term had lasted for
IA years. Then came Elba. His
second term lasted 100 days. Then
came Waterloo. But the point was
this:

THE WAR:
Long Range

Long-range German guns, posted
In France along the channel shore,
banged away at England, not so
many miles away. These were the
famous Big Berthas of song and
story, but they failed at first to prove
much. They shot at ship conveys,
but their bore wore out quickly, and
they were clumsy and expensive.
In the last war, the famous German
Paris gun" was a waste of time,
and these promised to be the same.
Their objective, of course, was to
cut across the channel, and close it
tight as drum. This maneuver
failed to worry the increasingly
cheerful British.
In their first air attack on Berlin,
British bombers swooped out of a
night sky directly over the heart of
the city, were driven off by anti
aircraft fire and dropped their ex-
plosives on the city's outskirts.
The German aerial losses had
been terrific, we'll over 1000 planes,
and maybe many more of them
The land invasion threat appeared,
to be "out"-for dictators cannot
risk the chance of a bloody setback
or repulse, especially one of so spec
tacular a nature. 1t seemed that
the so quick-acting Germans were
just bit puzzled about what to do
next. They continued to tighten
their blockade of the British Isles
by land and sea and air.
The British banged back, by
bombing the Heinkel, Messer-
schnitt, Junkers and Dornier air
plane works, and the Zeppelin works
on Lake Constance, where the IA
NOUS Mercedes-Benz air motors are
manufactured. Other big industrial
plants, in the Germanies, "got'' it
too, and German nerves Qike those
Of the Americans) are nowhere near
as good as stolid Britannia neurol-
ogy. 1t began to look like a much
longer war, which did not help Will
kie's chances for the presidency

England:
Scandals

1t was charged, most vigorously,
in the parliament at London that
rich horsemen were sending their
valuable live stock out of England,
while there was not enough ship
space for refugee children. This APP
peared to be only too true. One
Tory aristo sent along II horses,
they said, at $500 per head for trans
portation. A heavy argument en-
sued between parliament and the
horsemen, with the parliamentary
ans taking the viewpoint that even
English slum children were prefer
able to the blue-blooded equine thor
oughbreds.
Meanwhile, another scandal blew
up in parliament. This concerned
the treatment of anti-Nazi exiles in
England. The easy-going Chamber

THE OCEAN

p EsULTs achieved in attracting traffic to
IN the Ocean Highway demonstrate the
clarity of vision that led to its construction
and the wisdom of the advertising policy
that has exploited it. i.
Showing how we'll it is meeting a traffic
need, LOUIS FISHER, president of the associa-
ton administering it's affairs, cites a twenty.
eight per cent increase in it's use thus far
this month.
With the demand for additional highways
increasing as more and more persons cult
vate the habit Of g%ypsying vacations, the
highway is functioning with the invariable
fine efficiency of any opportunity seized and
utilized.
But it is viewed, in large measure, by cities
along it's route, chiefly as a convenience for
motorists going south from northern homes,
or vice versa, and not as a convenient route
to their own doors. Herein they fail to profit
as fully as they might, if they used it to at
tract visitors for their own benefit.
Wilmington is no exception to this. 1t has
advertised repeatedly an invitation to Ocean
Highway tourists to stop over night" like
DlIuS Ol passage Ou lASll way ~ USlCeI lCCu-
ing grounds. Insofar as this advertising is
concerned, it is warrantable to point out that
hotels and restaurants have been practically
the only beneficiaries, while other business
in the city has had no reward. With no wish
to do the hotels and restaurants an injury,
it is still right to note that they represent
only a small part Of Wilmington's business
community, and that if we are to reap a full
harvest available from the Ocean Highway
we must begin to draw tourist attention to
the city's many other attractions, in addition
to it's fine lodgings and menus.
Would it not be we'll to tell about Green.
field Park, about Fort Fisher, the CoRNwALL1s
headquarters, and a hundred other historical
shrines, the beautiful gardens and suburbs
and beaches, and the opportunity to engage
in profitable business, all of which would
whet interest and result in more than over.
night stops? Savannah and Charleston are
doing it, and doing we'll at it. Why not Will
mington? Neither Savannah nor Charleston
has more to offer, but both have made moro
of their attractions

market of great possibilities. And the oppor-
tunity will be better visualized when IL IS stat
ed that measured by the expected rale u ou'-
put of the Lufkin mill of $4,000 TONS per an
mum it would take 376 mills OF similar capacity
to supply American publishers with their news
print.
The start of this enterprise comes Win par
ticular timeliness. scandinavian countries Whlch

the pulp and pulpwood from which American
newsprint is made, are finding their exports
seriously interfered with by the war. There Is
no certainty of how long the supply can be
counted upon, nor with what regularly II Can
be furnished.
The question may be raised, as 1t mas oeen
before, of how long the supply OF pine TIMBER
may be expected to last if mills increase TO
anything like the extent that may be reason
ably expected. Modern mill management, when
in the last few years has invested $2oo,oo oOo
in the Southern states for the manufacture OF
pulp for Kraft paper and linerboard material
looks first to an adequate supply OF raw ma
terials extending over the years. IL is thelr
nractice to buy a sufficient acreage as a back
log for future requirements, and in the mean
time make contracts with farmers for their
dai1v cordage needs. The most modern forest

effect, and these assure not only that the
forests will not be stripped, but that there will
be pine in abundance for future needs.
DR.. Herty pointed out more imam once 70

pine resource of the South in the way propos-
ed is a temporary use of capital for only SO
long as it takes for a new crop to mature
Pine trees in many cases grow rapld1y Oh
land unsuited for anything else, and a new
outlet has been opened to farmers for the util'
ization of marginal acres and a new cash crop.
AS an indication of the amount of replantlng
being done, the demand for pine seedlings at
experimental stations has been greater than
the supply.

fer for professional men, which may nave
heen a subtle way of suggesting that when
professional men collect their bills times IN
all lines of business must be pretty good. 1t
is the doctors, lawyers, dentists, teachers
and preachers who feel recovery last.
One fair deduction is that it collections
are good in Goldsboro because 1t does more
manufacturing than other towns in eastern
North Carolina, it might not be a bad plan
to have a little more manufacturing in Will

quently all business men, are not shouting

its equipment, nurses home and grounds
represent an investment of more than S11O,

warranted, for there has been created a medi
cal care institution, administered efficiently
and tremendously by a board of trustees com
posed of white and colored civic leaders, anG
operated under the supervision of a staff com
posed of both white and colored physicians
1t is the hospital where Negroes should be
treated. Its physical properties are in every
respect superior to the facilities in the Negro

stand believing such a policy to be the course
of sound business. We are confident it will
pay dividends.
The ward now used for the disqualification
OF Negroes at James Walker Memorial hos.
pltal should be rebuilt, but it should be re-
built not for Negroes but to remove an I'M

EDITORIAL Comments
From Other Angles
NEWSPRINT IN THE SOUTH
Manufacturers Record

The beginning of operations at the worlds
first plant for the manufacture of newsprint
from Southern pine by the Southland Paper
Mills of Lufkin, Texas, marks a new epoch
in Southern industrial development. In it is
seen the approaching realization of the dream
of DR.. Charles H. Herty to supply the paper
needs of American daily newspaper publishers
from pine grown in the Southern states.
This country's demands for newsprint are A.
100000 tons per year. There is required 1000
tons each and every day to supply the paper
on which the news is printed. Most of this at
present is made from pulp shipped in from
other countries. Our imports of pulp and news
print average over s170, 900, 900 per year. Only
a comparatively small part of our requirements
at present are made from American trees
grown in Northern states.
Spruce trees take SO years to mature suffi-
GENTLY to be available for pulp purposes, while
southern pine takes but 10 years to grow the
necessary bulk. Long used as the base material
Tor KRAFT paper and linerboard products, DR..
Herty's tlreless experiments finally proved that
on the pine lands of the South there grew an
asset OF almost Unreasonable value to this
section and the nation in supplying a domestic
