OPPOSITION A SAFEGUARD

Among the strongest safeguards of democ.
racy is a strong opposition.
At the start of the ROOSEVELT administra-
ton the democratic party was placed under
a heavy handicap by its overwhelming ma
jority. Many of the party's internal battles
during the succeeding years stem directly
from that predisposing cause of dissention.
With everything their own way, democratic
leaders, being congenitally energetic, and
needing escape valves for excess spirits, fl
nally resorted to chickering's among them
selves.
If the opposition had been powerful, had
constituted a definite threat to their suprem-
acy, the ROOSEVELT administration would have
been marked by complete party unity, or we
miss our guess.
With the situation what it is, and has
been for several years, it is a good sign that
the republican leadership is putting I'D a
good fight to regain lost power, ard nowhere
is that fight more welcome or more capable
Of cementing democratic factions into one
united whole than in North Carolina. 1t is
therefore gratifying to every good democrat
in the state to find that the opposition is
exceptionally active and determined to leave
no stone unturned in it's campaign.
The harder they work, the better devised
their effort to take over in North Carolina,
the surer will the democrats be of sweeping
IN with a solid front, devoid even Of latent
unrest in the ranks. There is no danger OF
the democratic tradition being overturned
Dlt the danger that internal quarreling might
leopardize democratic power is eliminated by
the stand of republicans in the state for a
louder voice in public affairs.
The same situation exists also in the ma.
ton. Every outburst of DEWEY and VANDEN.
BERG, or the lesser lights seeking nomination
for President, serves to draw democrats into
a closer, more tightly woven campaign fol
retention of their power. This is shown by
the forecast that even Senator GLASS will be
in line with the party leadership when the
showdown comes.

COMING ROUND THE BEND

THE general discussion of the Stdf-NeNS
l. program for Wilmington at the open
meeting of the Rotary club on Tuesday
brought out the need for many of the prof.
Gets and recognition that through the civic
clubs and other organizations the city may
hone to progress at more than a l%aggard's
pace.
One of the speakers stressed the need for
wider advertising. The people in this and
nearby states don't know what we've got
down here he said. IF We are to promote
the city's civic interests it is up to US to
boost Wilmington-not sit here and talk"
This touches the need where it is greatest.
Advertising on a large scale would bring in
many more thousands of visitors than annual
ly come to the beaches, and among them
would be a number of investors and business
leaders on the point of seeking new outlets
for their capital and energy. Once here, as a
result of thorough advertising campaigns,
and beneficiaries of Wilminston's fine hospi-
tality, it is reasonable to think that most of
them would seek no further but turn their
money and their labor into Wilmington chan
nels.
The profits from greater hordes of visitors
would extend far beyond the cash they put
into lodgings, meals, entertainment and other
daily expenses during their stay. They would
inevitably bring new residents, new firms,
even new industries, and brighter horizons
for everybody.
ROGER BABsoN, who usually is 100 per cent
right, said: wilmington, to my mind, is one
of the most excellently located spots along
the Atlantic coast for a year round resort.
Your location is both ideal for summer and
winter. Your winters are not severe and your
summers not extremely hot. You will never
have trouble getting tourists to come down,
once they are cognizant of your delightful
weather."
AS soon as We become a city of go-getters
we'll realize the truth of Mr.. BABsoS's state
ment. The fact that the Rotary club has tax
en- the initiative in preparing to do some
thing in that direction is encouraging.

onerations to assure a victory.

MUST OUTSMART THE FOX

Nazi seizure of the Trondheim railway, by
which the Germans cut off southern Norway
and strengthened their grip on the Scandi-
navian country, is another demonstration
that HITLER has efficient aides, or spies, in
position to put through false orders to Nor
wegians in the field.
The troop train which effected the Nazi
coup sped unframed almost under the
muzzles of Norwegian guns because the Nor
wegian soldiers were told it carried men of
their own army. 1t was a daring deception
craftily carried out, and parallels the sus-
pension of firing by the Norwegian warship
at Oslo, when the invasion started. This ship
had German cruisers on the run, with two
out of commission. Victory was in its GRASP

NEARER WAR

Paradoxically. Rumania takes q step for
defense which brings her a step nearer war.
The Rumanian government has ordered
Black sea and Danubian ports within the
realm under naval rule, with the object to
prevent easy entry by an alien army, that is
to say, HITLER's soldiers. When the time
comes-the time he believes right-H1TIER
will march his men into Rumania, despite the
best Rumania can do to prevent it, with the
same ruthless determination to take what he
wants that he employed in Scandinavia.
He will do this unless the Allies, learning
a lesson in the north, move in first. Rumania's
vast stores Of supplies, especially of wheat
and petroleum, constitute a challenge which
HITLER, feeling the pinch of the British block.
ade, will not perpetuaIly ignore, and which
the Allies, in a Samaritan role, may feel com.
PEELED to protect"
In either case, Rumania is a step nearer
war today as a result of the naval guards
placed at her portals.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
A NATIONAL PARTY
Raleigh News ana observer

The matter of changing the basis of repre-
sententation of the states in the democratic ma
tional convention is one which should be APP
preached cautiously, particularly by southern
states. 1t would be dangerous for a group in
the minority to raise the question on the basis
of seeking selfish, sectional advantage. To do
so would be to invite retaliation in kind. And
the majority can always outvote a minority.
The question is likely to be injected into the
proceedings of the 1910 convention because the
1886 convention directed the national commit
tee to examine the possibilities of more equit-
able representation before the next convention.
That action in 1885 was taken because OF a
feeling on the part of some Southern delegates
that abolition of the rule requiring a tWo-thirds
vote to nominate candidates was a blow 10
the South" That view was a mistaken one in
the opinion of The News and Observer. 1t is
true that under the old rule, the South could
exercise a veto power over nominations. But
that was Just as true of any other section OF
the country, as was demonstrated In 1924, when
the veto power was exercised, not by the South
but by the Northeast. On the other hand the
opportunity for affirmative action on the part
of the South or any other section was greatly
enhanced by the change in rules. But, what
ever the merits of the two-thlrds rule that
question has now been settled.
In 1896, it was urged that states "hlcn had
never voted the democratic ticket except one
time should not be represented on the same
basis as states which always supported Qe1nO.
cratic nominees. That argument cannot be re-
peated now. At the time it was made, it was
believed that several normal republican states
which had voted the democratic ticket under
the exceptional conditions prevailing in 1882
would return to republican column in 1885.
That did not happen. On the contrary, not only
did all the states which were democratic in
1882 remain Democratic, the democratic candi-
dates carried additional states as well.
Certainly. the South woult gain nothing by a
change of representation based on the 1886
election, for on that basis only the two small
states of Maine and Vermont could be penal
ized. The democratic party is now a truly ma
tional party. No democrat should wish the
marty to ever cease to be a national one. AS
long as the party is national in its appeal, it's
basis of representation should be national.
The system of basing representation on par
tv success is a republican plan. Certainly, un'
der present circumstances there is little reason
for the democrats to adopt it. The old plan has
worked we'll N keeping the national character
of the paSfy.
