WilIkie at Disadvantage.
The point of all of which is that
issues primarily are made by men
in office, and from this standpoint
all of those above mentioned have
a decided advantage over Willkie
who, since his defeat, has become a
political outsider
Some have suggested that Willkie
will derive strength from the fact
that Representative Martin was his
personal selection for national
chairman, but this is not likely to
be the case Martins supreme aspir-
alton is to return the Republicans to
control of the House and to become
Speaker. To these ends he must
take his cues from the rank and
file Of Republican Representatives
who feel that their legislative rec
ordS were repudiated by Willkie.
Martin has indicated his desire
to retire from the national chair

pleasant winter Sunday afternoon to realize
that it is not adequate as it now exists. And
every week day sees a stream of traffic on
it that deserves the convenience and security
of greater width.
Broadly viewed, the Wrightsville highway
needs more than additional shoulders to fit
it for its increasing traffic load. If it is to
serve the real need it should lave four lanes.
Anything less will create hazards of accident
instead of removing them.
The temptation to pass slower cars and risk
collision with approaching vehicles, on any
heavily used tr%afficway, is all too likely to
increase collisions and sideswipes rather than
reduce them. And to put shoulders on this
particular highway would place this tempta-
ton in the path of every motorist who uses
it.
The question presents itself whether it would
not be better to concentrate a major effort
in both Wrightsville and Wilmington for a
four-lane highway than to attempt to have it
widened only enough to increase in the risks
it would then offer.

Answering The Challenge

All over the land at noon today men subject
r. the draft for military service are to learn
whether they are among this flrst conthgent
of 800, 900 or will await subsequent calls.
Clarence A. Dykstra, director of the draft,
has let it be known that there must be no
handicap placed upon industrial production OF
war materials, that "where two requirements
military manpower and production-conflict,
production should have priority" This OBJ
viously means that any man whose number
is called today and who is employed on the
defense program will not be disturbed. All
others, who are not otherwise exempt, will
go into training.
The call will not materially reduce the work
ing strength of North Carolina, whose quota
listnents and National Guard contingents. But
some men must 60 and some effect of their
going will be apparent in the states economic
structure. It must be remembered by every
body affected, whether as actual draftees or
their employers, that response to the sum-
mons is a patriotic duty and that Americas
security depends on its ability to train an
efficient army.
If the United States is enabled to make it.
self so strong that no combination of powers
can overthrow it, the sacrifice, starting today
with the draft and continuing throughout an
unknown period of time in many demands
upon the peoples time, wealth and resources,
will be small.
The draft, in conjunction with other meas
ures adopted for national defense, is the coun-
try's answer to the challenge of potential enc
mics, issued in slmdry alarming military sue
cesses abroad. We dare not let this answer
be unavailing.

Editorial Comment

Durham Herald

The Vichy government long since has
brought shame upon the people of France.
but by entering into plans for closer cooper
alton with Germany it brings upon itself new
dishonor.
Considering the things which this govern
ment has done, it would not be surprising If
it should take France directly into the war
against Britain.
France for the acts of their government. It
is not easy to believe that Frenchmen are
IN sympathy with the new course which their
government has taken. There is reason to be-
lieve that they would actively refuse to take
part in any action launched against Britain
in concert with Germany.
And, yet, they share in the dishonor which
is being brought upon their country.
Even the most confirmed idealist, ever the
most confirmed believer in human goodness
and the essential honor of man could be
blamed if by the example of France he should
become the most bitter OF cynlcS.
We cannot believe that France at this time
will enter the war against Britain in spite
of the apparent desire of Pierre Laval that
she should do so. Later, however, if the Nazis
desire to exert pressure, Frances active par
ticipation conceivably could be arranged.
It seems i~nescapable that the future shall
show that Frenchmen of this day have caused
the pages of history now being written to be
the darkest in Frances entire history. To ac-
complish their own personal safety, the people
of France today are allowing their country
so to be degraded that generations yet unborn
can never feel the pride in their country which
generations before have felt.
Defeat is to be borne. The pages of history
record defeats by dozens of nations. But ma
tional dishonor can never be erased. 4

War On Civilians

A grim story of German bombings in Hol-
land has been told by the Netherlands lega-
ton in Washington. 1t is to the effect that
after British fliers have bombed military OBJ
~jectives in conquered Holland Nazi airmen
90 aloft and bomb residence districts, and
that German controlled radio stations forth
with spread broadcasts that Britain is war
ring on the civilian population.
However loath we are to believe any mortal
capable of such an act, it parallels stories
from France and Belgium during the great
hygera that followed conquest of those coun-
tries by the Germans. It has been said by
eye-witnesses whose integrity is above re-
proach that Nazi planes swooped down on
columns of refugees and poured the fire of
their machine guns into their ranks, that they
fell in windrows, only because they blocked
highways on which the Nazis wished to adj
vance for new attacks.
There has been a rumor that the citizens
If Holland, recovering from the first shock
If defeat, have been giving Britain valuable
information Of German concentrations of men
and supplies, upon which the Royal Air Force
has been guided in its attacks. These report
ed Nazi bombings, if true, may have con.
vinced the Dutch that eventual salvation from
the c%ruelties of Nazi rule lies in UNDERGONE,
support of the British.

ers generally required their pupils to MEM
orize them and gave unannonced tests no"
and then to determine if they are understood.
There is one class of bicycle riders, how
over. who are beyond the reach OF the teach
ars. Messengers and delivery boys are largely
rec agents and in the final analysis are the
chief offenders of Lieutenant Davis rules. II
is notable that they pay little attention either
to signal lights at downtown intersections or
the common rules of courtesy, which have
such a strong bearing on safety in traffic.
They should be coached by employers and
discharged if they persist in creating hazards.
In fact, they should not be employed at all
until the employer has proof of their safe
riding.
Responsibility for safety rests as heavily
upon motorists as upon ~bicyclists. In fact the
burden is heavier upon motorists, because of
their mature years. The fact that SO North
children have been killed in auto
bike accidents since 1885 is sufficient indica.
ton that no person behind the wheel of an
automobile is justified in taking a chance,
small, of increasing this tragic toll
by failing to know that the road or street
ahead is clear.
