Standardized Wage Proposal
Offered By Wage-IIour Board

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-RA
The wage-hour administration has
advised congress that in view of
the labor experiences in the last
world war, the United States can
not enter a future war without
giving serious thought to the need
for sandardizing wages" to pro.
tect workers and make efficient
use of their time.
In the last war, the administra-
ton said in its annual report made
public today, wages were COM
pletely unstabilized and in the re-
sultant chaotic turnover" work
ers wandered from plant to plant
seeking the best wages obtainable.
The confusion was such, the re-
port added, that the war labor
policies board had begun considera-
ton of wage standardization when
peace brought the conflict TO an
end.
Wage-hour authorities said they
were not prepared now with any
plan of wage standardization, but
were making a thorough study in
this country and abroad to be
prepared to meet any contingency.
I'm recent years the unioniza-
ton of industrial workers has
spread rapidly and a degre eof

industries has been achieved

HOLLY RIDGE ASKS

Center's System

HOLLY RIDGE, Feb. 13-Many
Holly Ridge citizens today signed
a petition asking permission for
town businessmen and residents
to hook onto the Camp Davis water
and sewerage systems. Holly Ridge
has no utilities other than power.
Meantime, inclement weather to-
day interfered with construction,
but officials said a supply of rain
coats was en- route and outside
work henceforth could go on even
in rainy weather.
Construction however, is progress
sing satisfactorily, according to
officials Of the constructing quar-
termaster's office.
Capt. Karl M. Pattee, construct
int quartermaster, has issued a no.
tice which, pointing to congestion
Of U. S. highway II between Holly
Ridge and Wilmington, requested
motor vehicles be operated at rea-
sonable speeds not in excess of As
miles per hour.
Holly Ridge business feel that
water and sewerage systems are
necessary if the community is to
grow into a town, but they do not
see how they can profitablv install
the system themselves. So they
hope to hook onto the government.
What reception the petition will
receive was not known. 5

Alaskan Plane Problem
Solution Anticipated

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-RA
The problem of getting large num-
bers of fighter planes to Alaska
quickly in an emergency appeared
on the way to a solution TODAY
when the Canadian government
announced that it would build a
$4,000 900 chain of flying fields
between the United States and her
northern territory.
Although no agreement authoriz-
ing this country to use the pro
posed fields was announced, it was
assumed widely that American
planes would have that privilege
if an invasion we're threatened or
attempted.
There was speculation in some
quarters that the right to use
Canadian airports Immediately af-
ter their expected completion this
summer might become the con-
sideration for British use of some
American army and navy equip
ment if congress passes the pres
ent lease-lend bill. S

shall Petain in France might be
a part of the picture, even if, as
Rome comment indicates, no i'm
mediate change in Spanish non
belligerency is to be expected or
was asked. The Rome dispatches,
curiously enough, stress Frances
difficulties in foresaking his atti-
tude of benevolent neutrality to-
ward the German = Italian axis.
They point out on the authority
of qualified Observers that Fran
co must weigh two difficult in
ternal problems: Spain's food
shortage and the uncertain politi-
cal situation"
Nevertheless, Franco could be
an important factor at this stage
in influencing Axis : French rela-
tons. 1t is openly limited that old
Marshal Petain, in disrupting
Franco-German cooperation" ne
gotiations, was endeavoring to pro-
tect French Mediterranean inter-
ests against which both Italy and
Spain have entered claims. With
the French colonial army in Africa
and the French fleet as his aces
in-the-hole, the marshal has been
well armed to resist Berlin pres
sure.
1t appears possible that Musso-
lini actually was seeking through
Franco to shape some formula for
territorial distribution that would
be acceptable to both Petain and
Franco. A preview of Axis terms
for a final peace viii France
have been drawn up to be
approved by Franco and passed
on to Petain. Petain's approval
would afford II Duce some as
surance against re-entry of French
Africa and the French fleet into
the war as a British ally. l

provide corridors for the passage
of German forces to intervene in
the Greek-Italian wal is not so
clear. Yugoslavia may be merely
assigned a bystander mission.
Stroke Indicated
That Germany is preparing a
Balkan stroke was strongly indi-
Gated by revised estimates of the
force she has modified for ''pro-
tective" duty in Rumania. That
force is now said to total some
500, 900 men. Evacuation of nom
combatants from oil towns, ports
and oil transportation centers in
Rumania is another straw in the
wind. Those are certain targets
for British bombers if and when
a break comes in the Balkans.
Another possibly significant de-
velopment is reported from
Greece. Athens says Italian forces
in Albania have given up counter
attacking and are digging in along
a new defense front well behind
their present line. That would in
dictate a holding operation to await
Nazi help against the Greeks.
Weather conditions argue strong
ly against a major Nazi effort in
the Balkans for weeks to come.
By every sign, however, Berlin
seems to be clearing the field for
just that in answer to the British
challenge in breaking relations
with Rumania.
Moreover, something appears to
be stirring in the Far East. Grave
alarm expressed in Australia may
indicate that Berlin is putting pres
sure on Japan to create a diver
sion against Britain in that far
away sector.
