Wilmington soldiers, past and present, have

the older generation of soldiers is as ready
now to be mustered in for whatever duties

the first World war found it in the full flush

Hard To Believe

The British are finding it hard to believe
the astonishing statement made the other day
by Sir Neville Henderson,, former ambassador
to Berlin, that at the time of the Munich
conference Britain did not have a single Spit
fire, only one or two experimental Hurricanes,
and just seven of the 400 anti-aircraft guns
needed to defend London.
They find it hard to believe because it is
bitter to credit an assertion that makes Britain
out as far weaker, at that time, than they
had thought. They know we'll enough that
they were in no shape then to fight a war.
But they had not dreamed they were as weak
as that.
Also, there have been other explanations to
Justify the late Mr.. Chamberlain's efforts al
that he worked as he did to preserve peace
because the French were bound to go to the
aid of the Czechs and realized that to fight
would mean disaster. 1t was the French who
were fearful, according to this account, and
not the British.
The whole story, evidently, has not been
told, However, the main point of Sir Neville
Henderson's assertion can hardly be attacked.
At the time of the Munich conference, when
Field Marshal Goering warned tn a there
would be not much left of London in case
of war, he was speaking the simple truth.
AS for the lesson, Britain has learned it
at terrible cost. It is that in Hitler's world only
strength counts. We in his country have
learned that, too, with far less sacrifice.

To Stay On Job

The house vote against adjournment is grail
flying chiefly because it keeps congress OH
the lob. If the situation is so critical that the
President cannot afford to be more than a
few hours away from Washington, it is also
critical enough so that congress should be
available for prompt action. If the emergency
young Americans for military service it is
certainly great enough to ask legislators to
make the minor sacrifice of giving UP their
holiday from duty.
Nor is it true, as some suggest, that there
is nothing for congress to do in the weeks
ahead. The senate, in particular, has impor-
tant unfinished business on its calendar. 1t
has yet to act, on the Walter-Logan bill and
the amendments to the Wagner act, both ap-
proved by the house. 1t has a number of
major nominations before it, including that OF
DR.. Harry A. Mills of the National Labor Re-
taken up and disposed of in the weeks between
now and the first of the year.
AS for the house, the fact that the admins
tration has no legislative requests at the pres
ent time is no excuse for idleness. There are
important contributions that the house can
make without waiting for word from the White
House. Taxation will be a major legislative
subject for many months to come and con-
gress could not put its time to better use than
by beginning a serious study of this compli-
Gated matter now.
It should also be remembered that the re-
sponsibility of congress for defense does not
end with the appropriation of funds. 1t also
an obligation to watch the use made of
the money and to see that it is well spent.
Alert representatives in the past have made
major contributions to the progress of the de-
tense program. They can and should be con-
tinuing those efforts in the interest Of the
public welfare.

Editorial Comment
TIME FOR REASONABLENESS
Raleigh News and Observer

Everv sensible person knows that there are
always two sides to a fight. Every sensible
person should know also that it is not easy to
decide on the Atlantic seaboard which side in
the West Coast airplane factory wage dispute
is the true author of the delay in the produc-
ton of planes for defense. But it is increas-
ingly apparent that neither side must be per-
mitted to cause delays in a matter in which
the public feels it has a concern which is a
part of it's security.
This Vultee strike might be useful to the de-
tense cause if from it could come a formula
which would safeguard the interests of both
sides and at the same time eliminate delays.
Compulsory arbitration might be a dangerous
step. But delays are dangerous, too. There
ought not to be any hanging back from fair
voluntary arbitration at a time like this in an
essential industry. And the country ought to
know clearly which side in fact does prevent
the adjustment of differences by an orderly
procedure which does not interrupt production.
Three thousand miles away not many of us
can be sure we know certainly the merits of
both sides in this case. But even three thou
sand miles away, we can understand the
statement of the War Department labor ad-
wiser that he does not know whether it will
take five minutes or five days to reach an
agreement. Production ought not to have to
wait for an agreement which conceivablv
might not be reached in five minutes or five
days or five weeks. If both sides are ready
to recognize the superior interest of public Sc
curity, there should be no reason why work
should not go on While under impartial ar
bitrators a just decision is sought.
One thing is certain: The country ought to
know as quickly and clearly as possible which
side in a labor dispute rejects the orderly pro-
cedure of arbitration. When that is made
clear, public opinion will make unmistakable
also its insistence that the public interest come
first in times like these. /

RENOVATION

The city commissioners yester-
day began the arduous task of
reading all of the city ordinances
as they have recently been codi-
fled by the League Of Munich
palities with the aid of the WPA.
The ordinances have been
cross indexed, changed and mod
ernized.
In the ordinances as sent here
by the league there are many
ordinances which have never
been on the city books.
such as a model traffic ordi-
nance, a model ordinance regu-
lating the flight of planes over
the city and the like.
Deleted from the ordinances
as sent here by the league are
many obsolete ordinances.
The commissioners must read
and pass the entire new set of
ordinances and repeal the old
ordinances before the ordinances
as now codified become law.
The work of codifying the or
dinances has taken more than
a year but, with the approval
of them by the city commission
ers, should be completed soon.

Hungary Follows Suit

Wall Street reports little surprise in bank
ing circles over the Hungarian decision to
join the growing group of external debtors
that finds it impossible or else feels disin.
clined to pay on outstanding dollar bonds.
The suspension of most external payments
possibly is a mere matter of the loss of an
"active balance in foreign trade mentioned
in Budapest reports. 1t may also be more or
less political, since the action comedies so
directly with the addition of Hungary to the
Axis.
The difference to American investors, says
the same Wall Street rumor, will not be a
tremendous one if, as Budapest states, pay
ments are to be continued on the League
Loan at the reduced rate of four and one-hat
per cent. Other Hungarian dollar bonds have
been paid in recent years at one and three
fourths per cent annually.
The Hungarian government issue is out
standing in the nominal amount of Sc, 578, 600
while municipal and corporate dollar bonds
of Hungarian origin are estimated at about
S66, 900, 600. But the Hungrjans long have been
expert at repatriating their own bonds at
default levels and our Bureau Of Foreign
Domestic Commerce calculates that only $42,
800, 900 bonds of Hungarian origin remain in
American hands.
On the Hungarian indebtedness of $2,412,
annual payments Of Sc, 1923 have been made
recently and no information is availble as
to the treatment of this loan.
