BECAUSE of its strategic location and re,
things. How we'll it is meeting its opportuni-
ties is illustrated, among other ways, by the
fact that one oil company has brought in
$3.50, 900 gallons of gasoline and fuel oil
for distribution in the district thus far in
January-and the month is not past. Will
mington is the petroleum clearing house for
a wide area because it is most advantageously
situated.
That it can be equally important in other
industries and businesses is indisputable. But
to gain the prominence it is capable Of sus-
tanning it is necessary that all elements in
the population pull together for the common
good. Complete cooperation is the need of the
hour in Wilmington.
Mayor COOPER, in a brief address at the
Rotary club on Tuesday, in which he ex-
planned the fire and insurance situation, said
that the city commission during his tenure
as mayor had not enjoyed the advice of eth.
er the Rotary club or any other civic organi-
cation, and had been left to make it's deci.
sions entirely on its own responsibility. This
is fdlr nelIner TO the COmm1SS1Ou HOT Lu5
people.
One North Carolina city recently decided
to send at least ten of it's citizens to every
meeting of it's city commissioners as observ'
ers, and when, in their view, a need for it
existed, to offer suggestions and advice for
the commissions consideration. Here is a
good example of how citizens can do their
city a good turn. The benefit can be expanded
by including the county commission for regu'
lar visitations.
Now that the mayor has called attention
to the commissions isolation, and tacitly
held out his hand, Wilmington civic clubs
can do no less than accept his invitation
to participate in the administrations deliber'
atoms. Wilmington's forward pace will be
quickened as soon as this cooperation is
established.

A GREAT EXPERIMENT

The First Lady's endorsement of the Presi-
dents proposal to settle half a million migra-
tory families on lands to be opened up with
completion of the Grand Coulee project in
Oregon serves the good purpose of showing
that she can agree with her husbands dreams,
and also calls attention to a great experiment
aimed at solving a major p~roblem-the fixa-
ton of a large part Of the nations popula-
ton which turned gypsy when the tractor
and dust storms disrupted orderly living on
many intermountain farms.
1t is a noble undertaking, but to succeed
there must be a new dispensation in the
realm of labor. 1t is not correct to blame the
great farm migration on dust and tractors
alone. Labor had a share in it. And much OF
the unrest in western agricultural areas, par.
ticularly in California, where most of the
migrants have hived up, is Indirectly trace
able to the activities of labor agitators.
This class Of undesirable citizens will have
to be brought under control before the great
Oregon experiment can hope to succeed.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-01-25
A RISKY COURSE

There is no doubt that American sympa.
thies are for the Allies. France and Great
Britain are fighting Germany to prevent
spread of totalitarian government. They are
fighting for the salvation of democracy. In
this the United States can extend to them the
right hand of fellowship, and has done SO
gladly.
But Great Britain has done nothing to ce.
ment friendly bonds since the European war
started. On the contrary, she has done much
to loosen those bonds. Perhaps she has hoped
that the United States might be misled, as in
the early years of the World war, into max.
ing vast war loans, into providing vast war
supplies, if sufficient pressure is brought to
bear, and ultimately enter the war as a com,
blatant.
Whatever her purpose, or her viewpoint,
she has taken a high-handed course with our
mails and merchandise for foreign delivery.
Instead of bringing the United States to its
knees, this has bred distrust and aroused a
degree of combativeness in this country which
bodies i'll for her. The delays her search of
American vessels have entailed have been
costly and obstructive.
The United States is justified in its stand
that her legitimate has a right
upon the seas, and is correct in o~bjecting
that the London explanation is unwarranted
and flimsy. London is wrong in hoping to
change our neutrality policy in her favor by
wanton disregard to American shipping
rights, if she does so hope. Instead, she will
Inevitably STRENGTHEN our determination to
at the sacrifice of mutual democratic bonds
which we have long cherished.
