TIME TO REVEAL THE FACTS

A week or more has passed since the Rev
M. ]. ADAMS made his charge that the smok
ing of marijuana was spreading among high
school pupils in North Carolina and DR.. Carl
v. REYNOLDS, the state health officer, asked
the minister to produce evidence on which
investigations by state and federal agents
could be based.
Unless it has been produced secretly and
is too closely guarded to find its way into
coming. Why? Why has the Rev. ADAMS fail
ed to back up his charges with facts?
This paper has taken the stand that DR.
REYNOLDS was correct in demanding an In
vestigation necessary, provided the investi
gators are given proof that the deadly weed
is smoked by our school children. But it is
up to the Rev. ADAMS to reveal his facts, OF
his source of information. The matter cannot
be left in status quo. Every child in North
Cardinals high schools is under suspicion
and will remain under suspicion until the
charges are proved, and individual offender
located, or disproved and al. pupils exoner
ated.

he knows it.

MORE SUGGESTIONS INVITED

THE Star-News is gratified at the response
L to it's appeal for suggestions to determine
a program for improvement projects. They
have been varied and numerous, showing
that the people of Wilmington have become
deeply interested in the undertaking, and are
doing some constructive thinking on it.
1t it apparent that a program will evolve
in which the whole community can have a
part, and in which Wilmington will advance
it's ability to better the situation of all its
citizens in all the things that count.
But it is not likely that the field Of posi-.
bilities has yet been completely explored
There must be many ways yet unnamed in the
suggestions reaching the Star-NeWs by which
the city might improve it's situation.
AS the time for offering proposals is draw
ing to a close, this is to suggest that all
persons who have thus far failed to send in
their views do so promptly. Your idea may
be one which would involve actual loss, ii
withheld.
Furthermore, there are substantial cash
rewards for suggestions included in the pro
gram to be adopted.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-01-23
INSURANCE RATES

The rate of insurance against fire loss is
predicated on the community's ability to
keep such losses at the minimum.
Starting from scratch, with a wide-open
field, that is with practically no provision
for extinguishing flames, and the odds all
favoring complete destruction of a building
once fire starts, in it, the rate is necessarily
high. With the addition of every piece OF
fire-fighting apparatus, every improvement in
the fire department, and with fire walls to
protect neighboring buildings, the rate is pro.
portionately reduced.
This duty Of making the rate fit the hazard
falls upon boards of fire underwriters. Their
duty is to make frequent surveys, note i'm.
provements, compare current losses with past
losses, and base the cost of insurance on
their findings. If the prevailing rate is high.
er than need be, they should slice it.
This is the prescribed procedure. Mayor
COOPER complains that it has not recently
been followed in Wilmington. He declares
there has been no complete inspection OF
Wilmington's fire-fighting equipment, nor sur
vey of it's falling losses since 1885. During
the interim, Wilmington has made substan
tial advances in fire protection. So great hat
the Improvement been that last year Whining
toms net fire loss was the lowest of record
This, he contends, and justly, is sufficient
reason for cutting insurance rates.
1t Is to be hoped that the mayors step in
calling attention to the situation will bring
prompt action by the state board of under

AN OFFSET
-CoWMAN.

Because Wilmington is on the edge of a
tobacco-growing area and not in it's heart,
it will not feel the full repercussion of the
British tobacco ban, as will communities
where tobacco is the chief cash crop. But it
cannot hope to escape all of the effects of the
ban. Money which would normally flow into
Wilmington from nearby tobacco crops will
not arrive for the simple reason that it will
not exist.
But Wilmington is fortunate in having
other resources to offset the tobacco loss, and
should be able to weather the hard times
Britain's withdrawal from the tobacco market
is all too likely to create. Among these,
possibly chief among them, is it's resort
facilities. The beaches are still a magnet
capable of drawing many thousands of yisi.
tors.
A little more effort devoted to their ex.
ploitation can counterbalance any shrinkaye
in the city's business revenues due to lessen.

NOTE ON A CRISIS
Greensboro Daily News

Assurance is made in Connection with pro-
posed appropriations for ornaments that they
renresent an emergency need. We are not 60
ing in permanently for military might, which
would keep army and navy expenditures at
record high levels, but are arming only for the
duration of the crisis in which the world finds
itself.
Tn the midst of these afflrmations or
emergency, the duration of which no one quite
frankly processes to know or even TO guess,
comes a revealing item which must bear some
definite relationship to the continuing pre-
valence of ornaments needs and admlnlstra'
ton. It is the Associated Press which puts
out under a Washington dateline that "Plans
for the first unit Of a $26,000,0 900 War Depart
ment building-to be the most costly federal
building here aside from the capitol Itself
were made public today by the public build
ings administration. At the same time, plos
were asked on its construction"
Twenty.six million dollars can or should pro-
vide anyone quite a commodious home even In
these days Of high building costs. Something
of it's comparative size and lavishness, as gov
eminent buildings go, must be afforded by
the revelation that it will cost more than
any other in Washington, the capitol alone
excepted.
If the war department Of the future is to
require as much space and as elaborate quar-
tiers as this dispatch indicates, there surely
must not be much hope for a shrinkage OF
military personnel or expenditures in the days
and the years which are ahead. BY this time,
however, the observing and paying public has
doubtless realized that emergencies, as they are
seen and encountered by Washington, especially
in its spending capacity. almost invariably

An embargo on shipments of American to-

Fortunately enough, the burley-raising areas
