Parking Relief

Parking in Wilmington, a serious problem
in ordinary times, is destined to give the
civil authorities and the police many a troubled
hour in the near future. With an army
of workmen employed at Holly Ridge, whose
families will dwell in this area and trade
here, and a little later with a larger army
of soldiers occupying the post, whose parents
and friends will swarm to Wilmington for
visits of varying duration, and the regiments
existing parking facilities at the curbs, in
garages and lots, will fall far short of the
need.
That the authorities will have to find a way
to accommodate the hordes of additional auto
mobiles then threading the streets is OBJ.
vious. That it is essential to plan for it now
is also apparent. Loss of time in drafting a
fusion later and possibly end in Illustration.
There is one way in which the people of
Wilmington can help in solving this major
problem. It is only a minor aid, but is not
to be overlooked on that score. Anything
which will contribute to the comfort and
convenience Of visiting motorists deserves
attention.
1t is to park your car at home. Downtown
curbs are now lined daily with cars of bust
ness men and women, who drive to work in
them, park wherever they find a place for
them, leave them there all day and drive
them home only after the days work is done
II these same men and women have some
member Of the family take them to their
places OF occupation and return for them at
the accustomed hour of quitting work and.
when it is not otherwise needed, keep the
auto IN home driveways or garages, the down.

visiting autoists.

If He Only Had!

1t is useless speculation, OF course, but it
is still possible to contemplate what the world
would be like if Hitler had devoted his unde-
.niable talent to peaceful exploitation instead
of war.
Germany, for example, would be on it's
way to undisputed economic security, its peo-
pie g~ainfully employed, instead of working at
starvation wages, its professional men, es-
~pecially its engineers and laboratory experts,
developing new sources of supplies, creating
new resources, benefiting all peoples with
their scientific discoveries.
AM the rest of the European peoples en-
joying the fruits of their labors, conducting
their on profitable lines, their gov.
ernments functioning, industries producing.
farms yielding crops, in a normal manner.
All this instead of chaos, of hatred, of wide
spread slaughter, of billions invested in war
implements, millions Of men drawn from their
customary labor to become soldiers, and an
indefinite period Of Illustration and depression
in the wake of war.
The deplorable aspect of it all is that, had
Hitler followed the course of peace he would
now have been well along the road toward
the objective he has proclaimed the motive
for his war; the need for economic expansion,
What a new ORDER he could have created
for Europe and the whole world if he had
only led in peace instead of war.

Editorial Comment
LAW IS NOW SETTLED
Raleigh News and Observer

The supreme Court of the United States has
now settled the law applying to federal juris-
diction of ~waterpower developments. The deci-
sion OF the court that the federal government
does possess such power, whether or not the
streams are navigable, does not leave North
Carolina and other states which have con-
tended for State jurisdiction a leg on which
to stand.
The decision ends the controversy for all
practical purposes. The controversy should
end for all purposes. The Aluminium Company
of America and all other interested parties
should accept gracefully the unacceptable fact
that federal regulation is here and here to
stay. And that fact should also be accepted
by the several states.
There we're always two weaknesses in the
argument for State jurisdiction over such
matters. The need for federal regulation arose
because streams have no respect for state
lines and because states did not furnish any
effective regulation of their own.
The Jurisdiction of the federal government
over navigable streams has been conceded all
along. Most of the controversies, like the one
in North Carolina concerning the proposed
dam of the Aluminium Company at Tucker
town on the Yadkin River has concerned such
questions as whether streams were navlgable
or, if non-navigable, whether developments
upon them would affect navigable waters into
which the non-navigable streams owed.
The Supreme Court, by a vote OF six to two,
has now put an end to all such contentious.
The court stated in clear, unequivocal Ian
guage that jurisdiction is granted to the fede-
raj government over all streams by the Con-
%stitution and that it makes no difference
whether or not such streams are navigable.
North Carolina and other states should con-
~centrate upon the exercise OF powers they
undoubtedly have and should regard this ques-
ton as a closed chapter.
Aside from the legal issues involved there
is no question but that this sweeping decision
is in the public interest-due to the failure of
most of the states, including North Carolina,
to make any effort to conserve their own re-
sources for themselves

1t is very doubtful il the old school die
hards Of Great Britain, who forced King Ed
wards abdicatlon, would approve the Duke
of Windsor's appointment as ambassador to
the United States. The same arguments they
used then to make him surrender his throne .
that he contemplated marriage to a twice
divorced American woman and that the morals
of the Empire were at stake : would be
revived, with emphasis on the fact that he
has since become the husband of the afore-
said American DIVORCE, and the morals Of
the Empire are still at stake.

C. O. D. deliveries, therefore, cannot be the
gauge of our war effort in behalf OF Britain.
Something of this sort seems to have been
in President Roosevelts mind as he evolved
his plan for leasing to Britain the war ma
terials we can turn out, with Britain ooh-
gated either to return them in good condition
at the end of hostilities or to replace them, II
they are destroyed. The President revealed
his views at his first press conference follow
ing his Caribbean cruise, and explained tnat
the plan will be presented to congress during
the forthcoming session.
Without going into detail, Mr.. Roosevelt
explained that he has it in mind for the
government to take over future British war
orders and to make deliveries on lease or
mortgage with the time Of settlement set
for the happy day on which peace is restored.
Questioned on the financing of such a pro-
gram, he merely said that the United States
has the resources to do it.
Of all the proposals for aiding Britain this
seems to be best adapted to the need. In the
meantime, that is until congress can act upon
it, it is becoming more and more apparent
that larger and swifter deliveries of American
war materials are an essential factor in win
ming the war in Europe. Closer coordination
of our defense production is the need of the
hour.

EDENT0N REVIEWS
BLIMP BASE PLEA
Delegation Presents Specific
Data On Site To Cap
tain, ROsendahl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Up -
A delegation from Edenton, N. c., ac-
companied by Representative Bonner
(D-NC), renewed today their efforts
to interest the Navy in the establish
ment of a base for lighter-than-air
craft in that section.
The group, comprised w. NJ. War
rem, J. w. Graham, R. D. Dixon and
J. w. Davis, presented to Capt.
Charles E. Rosendahl, special advisor
to Secretary Knox On ~lighter-than-
air matters, specific data on a site
four miles from Edenton. The land,
on which price and other details were
given, is known as the Mulberry Hill
Athol property, encompasses about
1880 acre sand borders Albemarle
Sound and U. S. Highway II.
Members of the delegation said
Capt. Rosendahl appeared interested
in their proposition and that they
felt after talking with him that Eden
ton was the general area in which
the Navy would like to establish such
a base for use of lighter-than-air
ships in the neutrality patrol.
A board headed by Rosendahl has
mdae a tour of the Atlantic Coast
Line investigating possible sites for
such a base. AS yet there is no con
eressional authorization for establish
ment of bases and no funds approprl-
ed. 1t was expected that the
Rosendahl board would recommend
to the next congress whether au-
thorizing and appropriating measures
should be enacted.
Graham, Dixon and Julian Wood
recently made a similar visit to see

ests of their section.
