in another way by frank discussion OF Its
objectives and by concessions limiting the
broad powers it grants.
1t is gratifying to see that President Roose-
welt apparently has decided to follow the
latter course. His conference with the con-
gressional leaders Of both parties is, at any
rate, a sound beginning The mere fact that
the discussion was held at all indicates
willingness to consider changes in the original
plan.
The results Of the conference will depend
il. large measure on how receptive President
Roosevelt proved to be to the suggestions
offered. But one clear gain can be marked
down The members of the congressional dele
CATION should have much clearer under
standing of the bill and its objectives, and MIR.
Roosevelt, for his part, should have better
idea of the range of congressional sentiment.
This is an essential step.

Gold Imports Drop

The New York Herald Tribune notes that
as the cruiser Louisville reached port day
after the Department Of Commerce had closed
the books on its current weekly gold statis-
tics, it will be necessary to wait another week
to know the exact size of the gold cargo the
cruiser brought in from South Africa, and
adds that gold imports for the week ending
on January % amounted to only $21, ,57S, ,O00
which is about as low as these imports have
fallen in any week since the war broke out
While the United States will doubtless con-
tinue to receive all the newly mined British
Empire gold which can be shipped here" con-
tinues the Herald Tribune, 1.-The period OF
rapid growth in this countrys gold stock is
probably over for the present.
Britain, it appears, has very little left of the
gold reserve which was on hand when the war
started. The lease-lend bill will give her a
new source Of dollars, relieving gold of the
great responsibility it has borne since hostili-
ties opened as the chief provider of dollars
for the British. There is a GOOD deal of
French gold in Canada which might pass into
this country's possession if the United States
could be convinced that the dollars exchanged
for the gold would not reach German hands
But for the present it looks as if newly mined
gold will form the bulk of the treasury's
purchases.

Source Of Our Greatness

Much is being said in these parlous times
about the men who are doing big things for
the nation or failing to do them. Much is
endeavor and high achievement, Of great as
pirations, mighty determinations, and cruel
|disappointmcnts.
Our whole attention seems to be concen-
trated upon this person or that whose views
on great affairs, nine times out of ten, aren't
worth a tinker's dam and others whose per-
formance far exceeds or falls far short OF
expectation. We focus our eyes upon the men
and women who, because OF position or op-
portunity, WELD greatest influence in shaping
the course of events. And perhaps we are
wise in so doing, for it is upon them that we
most depend for leadership.
But, because our thoughts are filled with
their activities and nations we fail to think OF,
or see, considerable group Of other persons
whose lives are no less consecrated to duty,
to national honor, to valiant service, than
these heroic figures. And because this is so,
Americas greatness.
This other considerable group, probably
some forty or fifty million in number, are the
men and the women who do today's JOB faith.
fully, efficiently, thankful for employment and
for children and for the sun that warns them,
with never thought of special reward be-
yond the comfort of consciences untroubled
by moral breakdown.
Among them are the clerks who wrestle
with figures, who sell commodities over the
counters, the travelling men who "call on the
trade;" the little business men who seek to
thrive honestly on small profits and, hope
fully, quick turnover; the doctors who must
listen to hearts and lungs and hypochond-
riacs, set bones and ease pain; the lawyers
whose days are mostly spent hearing the woes
of impecunious clients; the artisan who tolls
at bench; the engineer who drives train or
builds bridge; the solicitor who must put
up with snubs and banged doors.
Among them, too, is the mother, whose
growing brood must be fed and clothed and
kept at studies and taught to play fairly, who
must watch throughout the night at the sick
bed of a little one and still be ready with
udJ1SAt w IdhS up uAe out4eS VI 1louSeheSPS4
and home-maker; the teacher, the nurse, the
Istenographer, the sales girl, the welfare work
er, the women who toll in a dozen other
fields and count themselves fortunate if a
single dance breaks the monotony of the week S
slow round.
These, we think, are the people who give
America her stamina, her strength and cour-
age, her right to survive. They are the foun-
dation upon which is built the stability, the
enduring power of true freedom. These we
salute. ..

with good deal of not-so-innocent enjoyment.
For the broadcasters and their agency have
not merely avoided the threat OF legal action
by this step. The restrictions they have agreed
to respect are the very ones they are anxious
| to see imposed on ASCAP and they are now
| in the comfortable position of having the De-
partment of Justice fight their battle for them.
| BMI has agreed, for example, to charge
l. for music only on a pay-as-you-play basis and
not to require fees on programs carrying no
BMI music. This seems just enough, but it
happens also to be one of the key points in the
dispute between the broadcasters and ASCAP
which has been demanding flat percentage
OF their incomes regardless of how much
music is used.
This leaves AS;CAP with a choice between
two alternatives, neither very pleasant. 1t can
sign similar consent decree in which case
lit will have to give up much of its power and
accept restrictions which it has consistently
opposed. Or it can choose to fight the battle
out at heavy cost and with the possibility of a
heavily adverse decision at the end.
Public dissatisfaction with the existing state
Of affairs has been ASCAP's ace card but it
now looks as though the broadcaster may hold
a higher one

Correct This Death Trap

The accident on Third street near the far
end of Greenfield Park in which young and
promising engineer, E. L. Chandler, was
killed, and his companions, MIR. and Mrs.
Raymond A. Little, were SO gravely injured
that they, too, may die, directs attention to a
traffic hazard which has been allowed to
exist too long.
Another death occurred at the same spot
too recently to have been forgotten. Inevitably
there will be others unless the state highway
commission, under whose jurisdiction this
stretch of Third street is, takes corrective
action promptly.
The turn there is sharp and hazardous at
all times. At night it is extremely perilous
because it is neither banked or adequately
lighted. Wary Wllmingtonians knowing it will,
take the turn cautiously. But the stranger. who
has not Travelled that way often. is all too
likely to wreck his car and his life if he is
moving at more than ordinary speed And
nine times out of ten he would be moving
faster than ordinary because he will have
passed the area of heavy traffic.
3 What is to be done is a matter for the
highway department to determine. But it i.
obvious that danger of accident would be re
duced if the roadway were banked. At leas
there should be reflector lights on both side
and on both approaches, and for good measur,
another line of them along the center. Al
Illuminated sign, indicating sharp turn
placed some hundred feet away and on eacl
side, would further safeguard motorists
ALI of these warnings would not be TOT

. Editorial Comment
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Durham Herald

There is such a thing as going to the ex
treme in any and all fields, even swinging from
one extreme to the other.
1t is recognized, for example, by the ardent
advocates of more emphasis on vocational
education in our schools, that it would not be
sensible to change about and emphasize vo
cational education to the neglect of "strai
or formal subjects.
But it is hardly necessary to warn agains
going to the extreme on vocational education
in this State SO long as conditions approximate
those recited by T. E. Browne, director O.
vocational education, to the joint approprla
tions committee in Raleigh the other day
North Carolina, Mr.. Browne pointed out
now gets just little over half of Fedora
funds available for vocational education be
cause the State is required to match Fedora
funds and State appropriations do not permit
matching much beyond half of the $765, 900 ir
Federal funds available.
The Budget Commission recommends S40O
900 for vocational education for example
next year and $3.50, 900 the year following. a
slight increase of present figures Mr.. Browne
recommends $650.O0
But here are more revealing and more
solicitous, we think, figures:
There are today 423 schools offering in
struction in agriculture and shop work tc
something like 10000 pupils. There are 10(
OLQer QlSn SCnOOlS ASKING IOr agriculture anO
shop courses but can't get them because
necessary funds are not available.
There are 293 high schools offering vocation
| al home economics courses to some 10000
girls. There are $50 other high schools asking
for vocational home economics but lack Of
funds makes it impossible to answer their
requests.
1t is small wonder, we think, that con-
siderable number of legislators were inter.
ested in larger vocational appropriations be.
fore they heard Mr.. Browne and were i'm
pressed by Mr.. Brownies presentation
If ever warning against going to the ex
treme on vocational education is needed in
North Carolina, and the time may we'll come,
the reason will be that the appeal for ex.
pansion of vocational education facilities went
unanswered so long that weary petitioners
grabbed the ball and raced all-out for vo-
cational education.

, Washington naybook
BY LACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 - Now it can be
told:
With the possible exception of the visit of
the King and Queen of England there never
have been such elaborate precautions here as
were taken to guard President Roosevelt at
his inaugural.
+ Under the direction of Colonel Edmund W.
Startling, who has been chief of the Secret
Service White House detail for many years,
everything that has been learned in all the
Inaugurals since 1889 was put into practice
Almost 5000 extra men were brought into
Washington to guard against any eventuality
Working with the District of Columbia Metro
politan police under Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent these men ranged from crack
traffic squads Of a score of cities to details
from the United States Marines and agents Of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
There were hundreds of firemen, about 500
Marines $50 of the best planclothesmen from
every key city in the country, and at least
1000 uniformed police officers.
NO PARKING
Even with the experience of the visit of the
King and Queen to draw on, Colonel Startling
and his staff worked for more than a month
on the minutey detailed plan of operation.
First the traffic lanes into the Capitol White
House and one-nnile parade zones were taken
care OF. A parking plaCkOut aDOuI IOur DlOCKS
wide and more than a mile -and-a-haf long
was ordered from midnight 70 midnight on
Inaugural day. Lines of police firemen and
marines at hardly more than arms length
apart were formed from end to end of the
parade route on both sides of the street.
Back of them, apparently wandering about
through the crowds but actually walking a
beat that took them not more than few
yards in each direction were the hundreds Of
detectives, Secret Service men, and FBl
agents. They reported at regular, frequent
intervals to lieutenants The ieutenants kept
in constant touch with 1u'.
: tne znras from Capitol Hill - =
sylvania Avenue.
Proof Of the effectiveness of this minute
attention to detail was that there was not one
civilian report of any suspicious incident which
the guard had not already taken care Of
A man with a gun was arrested In the
Court of Freedom. Colonel Startling afterwards
described him to me as harmless individual
who had no other thought than helping te
guard the President, but we have to preserve
our professional standing, you KNOW.
A 71-year-old Spanish American war veteran
who went about fiercely brandishing a sWore
was also taken into custody Also, another

offensive against Britain which will

was predicted by Fascist editorial
spokesmen tonight as tn high
command reported victories by
Italian troops counter-attacking in
Eritrea.
Giovanni Ansaldo, editor of For
eign Minister Count Galeazzo Ci-
AMOS newspaper TELEGRAPH, in Leg
horn, told the armed forces that
Premier Mussolini and Adolf Hit
ler would make the decisions soon
for the attacks against the Brit
ish.'
Speaking over the radio shortly
before Hitler's promise of an Axis
victory in 1941 was rebroadcast in
Italy, Ansaldo indicated the new
offensive would be timed to render
United States help to Britain futile.
THE Italian and German peo-
pies are well resolved not to let
themselves give way to British
capitalism, even if it appeals to
the other side," Ansaldo said.
The Influential Resto del Car1ino
of Bologna, expressing the current
Fascist view that the United States
"already can be considered bel
ligerent, warned of graver COM
plications whenever the Roosevelt
plan of increased aid to England
is voted.'

conflict, the newspaper said. as
sumptively, will have no advan.

Helpful Step

Even though it was explicitly stated that no
agreement or understanding was reached, the
White House conference on amendments to
the lease-lend bill was distinctly worthwhile.
The administration undoubtedly has the
votes to force this measure through congress
in nearly any form it desires at the cost of
a bitter and prolonged fight But it will be a
great deal better for both the country and the
Chief Executive if the legislation is dealt with
