HULL TELLS EN-

CECRETARY of State CoRDELL HULL finds 1t
y quite useless to continue discussions OF ma
tjonal aspirations or policies as affected by the
Monroe Doctrine, or its European substitutes,
with the German reich, but makes 1t quite
plain, both in his former communications to
Berlin and in a statement released to the
American press, that the position of the United
States on alien activities in the Western Henri
sphere which are in conflict with the Monroe
Doctrine and the foreign policy this country
has carefully and successfully maintained Tor
many years is unchanged. He tells the reicn'
in effect, that any entertainment by a foreign
power in the New World will be dealt with as
the government of the United States deems
best fitted to the occasion, and, by impl1ca-
ton, warns Germany that any effort by that
nation to gain a foothold therein will meet
stiff opposition.
We have heard of late considerable discus
sion of the spirit of defeatisni, which led to
Frances downfall and weakened other Europ-
can nations throughout the years Of Germanys
rearming, taking hold in this country. 1t has
been said, even in high places and to willing
audiences, that America is unable to compete
with the new order in Europe and had best, In
it's own interests, compose any differences 1t
may have with the molders of new idealogles,
the thought apparently being that the Monroe
Doctrine and all the cherished institutions OF
our American democracy are outmoded, and to
insist on their perpetuation would be to invite
disaster. This is the mental attitude HITLER
wants most to have cultivated in still free
countries. It is, in fact, the new weapon" the
Germans announced at the outbreak Of hos
t%ilities.
The fact that it's seeds have taken root In
this land and promise a harvest unless de-
stroyed, gives to Secretary HuLL's pronounce
ments added Importance. His note to Berlin
and his statement for the press are well cal
culated to convince all red-blooded Americans
that the government of the United States is
still on the job to maintain the dignity, int
gritty and independence of the New World, and
to put a little starch in the backbones Of all
others with little faith. It gives us proof that
the attitude of appeasement, which paved the
way for war in Europe, is not the official at
titude in America, nor likely ever to become
our attitude.

POLICEMEN'S PAY

The police personnel contemplates an appeal
to the city commission for restoration of a pay
cut made when city finances were at low tide.
Endorsing the plan, HARRY R. GARDNER, who is
on the streets at all hours in discharge of his
business duties, wrote to the Star recently cit
ing the fact that Wilmington has one of the
most poorly paid police departments in the
state, in proportion to population, and is at the
same time receiving as efficient police protec-
ton as any city regardless of size.
1t is an unfortunate and unfair reflection
on American custom that despite the load they
carry and the dangers they must encounter in
their daily work, the police Of the country are
treated like unwelcome stepchildren when pay
rolls are being written. We expect the police
to give their best in service and give them in
return our worst, In compensation. Like teach
ers, who must subsist on p~ittances, the police
are universally underpaid.
Wilmington's city fathers should do what
they can, and something could be done, to give
our police force the raise 1t will ask for. It
should not be necessary for a delegation to ap-
pear before the commission to present the case.
But If they must 90, the commission will fail
in it's obligation to the force if it refuses to
comply with the request.

IT HAS ADVANTAGES

Another reason to believe that a defense
stamp would be a good way to pay in large
measure for the nations rearmament is that
the postal department is already functioning
and that collection Of defense taxes through
the sale of special stamps would involve the
creation of no new collection agency or the
large expansion of any now existing.
A person with a hundred letters to mail
would buy a hundred regular postage stamps
and a hundred additional special defense
stamps. The postofce making the sale would
have only to segregate the money received for
each and the postal department disburse the
two totals to the authorized branches of the
treasury, one for meeting the departments
obligations and the other to the national de-
tense account.
There may be obstacles in the way of utiliz.
ing the postal department in the defense pro-
gram which the layman cannot grasp. But so
far as smoothness. ease and Capitalization are
concerned, the plan appears to have it both
ways from the ace over the present set-up
which requires collection of defense taxes on
some 40 items dispensed by retail stores or
added to the cost of amusement tickets, public
documents, club dues, etc., a system which Of
fers opportunity for private gain, for increases
in retail prices, and for so-called "equaliza-
tion' of the tax by doubling it on one article
and emitting it from another.

ADD: SAFETY FIRST
Greensboro Daily News

From Wilson county comes word of mules
who have committed 'unintentionable suicide
by licking their legs after a days pulling OF a
cultivator in cotton sprayed for boil weevil.
One of the county commissioners calls atten-
ton to the situation, and the farm demonstra-
ton agent corroborates.
Evidence is needed. Mules Of our acquaint-
ance have done a power of foolish things; but
never before have we heard it suggested that
mules gave themselves a going-over at night
in the manner of cats. Most of the quadrupeds
and bipeds we have ever met were too tired
after a day in the cotton field in whatever cap
acity to attend to their grooming etween suns.
But the treatment proposed by the farm
agent is simple and inexpensive. All that is
necessary to be done is to wash off the mules
legs.
Not having heard from the mules on the SUBJ
ject we can't say how they'll like it in the be-
ginning; but since they do not themselves have
to do the washing, we imagine that in a week
or so they'll be accepting it as their due.

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS

In considering England's expressed determ'
ination to fight on until she conquers H1TLEB's
armies, or is conquered by them, it is we'll to
remember that the Dutch commander and
King LEOPOLD of Belgium made a similar
declaration when their lands were invaded and
that France said she would never, under any
circumstances, make a separate peace. All of
these did what they said they would not do.
The fact is cited only to indicate that it is
impossible to know what any person or nation
will do when the pressure becomes unbearable.
Many say they will not submit to an operation,
but call the surgeon when opiates fail to kill
their pain. q
Great Britain's case hinges upon her ability
10 resist German and Italian pressure. If she
accomplishes this, she will not consider any
peace overture until the issues in the war of
Europe are decided. And, again in .ring
her hrm resolve to carry on. it will be well to-
note that her chances OF victory are immeas.
urably implo owed by Selling many of Frances
warships and putting others out o. commission.
Further, 1t is to be noted that Russia's moves
IN the Balkans and the prospect of widespread
hunger in Germany through crop failures and
British blockade effectiveness, place HITLER in
the didacult position Of having either to pla.
cate or subdue STAIN while undertaking his
attack on England.
Altogether, England's pledge to fight It out
holds definite chances of fulfllment. Unless
HITLER is able to establish an unbreakable
blockade, England. with the aid Of the French
ships she has taken over and the others she
has prevented HITLER from acquiring, will carry
the war into q long-term conflict, for which she
10 geared. II, at the sam time, her diplomatic
negotiations at Moscow bring Russia into agree
ment with her plans and Russia's food supplies
for Germany are halted, or STAIN. extends his
activities into additional Balkan areas rich in
supplies upon which HITLER is more or less
depending for his armies and his home folks,
the fuehrer will face q winter campaign from
which he cannot be sure Of emerging victor.
