Eggs And Friers

Eggs for breakfast two apiece for $1,000
soldiers@0,000 eggs at single meal. Does
this suggest that Camp Davis will offer an
opportunity in poultry for farmers here-abouts,
or doesn't it?
One guess is as good as another, but it is
q well-established fact that the army feeds
well and that it's dieticians know that eggs,
with milk, are the most natural food; that
Is, that they contain less waste and more
nourishment than other menu favorites
And eggs are but one product of the hen
merry. Inevitably friers will share dinner honors
with beef and pork. Twenty thousand hungry
men, half a frier each-100O0 adolescent
chickens at a sitting. Can you see the in
cubators heating up, or do we miss our guess?
We miss it only if southeastern North Caro-
lima farmers decide that chickens are too
much Of a nuisance to raise However that
may be-, it is obvious that large new revenues
are to be available through supplying the
Camp Davis commissary with poultry and
eggs.

Shoes Needed

What's do be done for these children who
are going to school with holes in the soles of
their shoes?
The Associated Charities and the County
Welfare department say many youngsters are
compelled to do it. And influenza is abroad
in the city, lurking in every draft and every
damp street to pick up more victims.
While drafts and cold or wet feet do not, in
themselves, create flu, they pave the way for
it and make its assault easier.
These two benevolent organizations have is
sued call for shoes. Surely there are many
in Wilmington homes-homes where the pinch
of poverty is not present-which have been
abandoned and would save less fortunate
youngsters from using cardboard to plug holes
in their own or who leave the holes unplugged
and sit through classes in discomfort, with
vitality and interest tagging.
A telephone call to either the Associated
Charities or welfare headquarters will bring
a messenger to pick up the discards.
And it would not be amiss if heads Of fami-
lies, checking up on shoes, extended their sur
vey to bedding as WELL There are many house.
holds where bed clothes are as inadequate as
shoes.

aims Mediterranean battle, and Hitler is well
aware of the fact.
If Petain released Weygand from all contact
with vichy and secretly got word to him to
Join deGaulle and his free French forces
and the consolidation were effected Britain
would have no reason to lose any Of her i'm
portant control of the Mediterranean, and the
ong-foretold attack on Gibraltar would be
among the more remote possibilities of this
war.
Petain, himself, of course, would be finish

of Vichy would count his end worth while it
he could thus contribute to the ultimate resur-
rcction of his beloved France.

South American Students

The mutual advantage of the attendance OF
South American students at the University OF
North Carolina will lie in the use they make
of their stay in the United States when they
are again in their own countries.
Their coming is splendid venture in friend
ship, as well as learning. If we can send them
home as missionaries, militant for greater and
friendlier relations among the Americas, we
will have done something of inestimable value
This is what has happened in the case OF
South American physicians who come yearly,
IN new groups, for postgraduate work at the
Venice, Fla, Medical Center, among the many
similar undertakings at our universities and
hospitals. They put in their year of intensive
training at Venice, under the bone specialist,
Doctor Albee, and, taking up private practice
in their native lands afterward, spread the
gospel OF Pan American good will with the en-
thusiasm of converts.
Perhaps it will be possible to cement inter.
American relations as effectively through
visiting students as through trade pacts.

Hitler And Petain

There can be little doubt that Hitler is
using all the pressure at his command, short

bases and southern ports in that distressed
eountry, and that Chief Of State Petain is do
ing what he can to stave off the day when
The Nazis will supplant his government at

In the meantime Petain is reported to be
determined to keep his present cabinet in Of
4lce, despite his reconciliation with Laval, at
least until Hitler's reply to his collaboration
message of Christmas eve arrives. That this
reply has been so long delayed could be taken
as evidence that Herr Hitler is not sure what
course to adopt in his future relations with
The government of unoccupied France.
And there is support for this view in the
TACT that Petain has an ace in the hole, to

. Editorial Comment
MIR. KENNEDY SPEAKS F(
Durham News

Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, on the basis
of his Saturday night broadcast and Tuesday
testimony before the House Foreign Affairs
committee, stands nearer the President on the
aid-to-Britain question than he does to the
Wheeler-Fish group and isn't nearly as con-
fused as some of his quck-on- the trigger
critics.
He is confused, of course. Who isn't? He
doesn't profess to know how the war is going
to come out. Wonders why Hitler hasn't made
more effective use of the air fleet he is sup
posed to have. Is positive that this country
should re-arm faster than anybody now thinks
possible. Thinks we ought to go the limit in
furnishing Britain war materials. Is certain
a British victory is to Our interests. Is pre-
pared to support 100 per cent any program
the Congress and the President approve, but
sible effort to stay out of war, as an active
participant.
That, when calmly considered, is no more
nor less than the position and attitude of the
President and his supporters. Mr.. Kennedy is
bit more cautions in his choice of words
and departs from the Roosevelt position in
matters OF detail.
But in effect Mr.. Kennedy's detectives are
the same as those Of the President and both
subscribe to the same general formula 70 r
realizing those objectives-double-q re-
armament, aid to Britain limited only by our
productive capacity and own requirements.
On the lease-lend bill question, Mr. Kennedy
proposes that time limit be inserted, which
Is universally accepted, and suggests a pro-
vision prohibiting use of American warships
for convoy service, unless expressly au-
thorized by Congress. He suggests, too, that
sort Of central congressional committee be
established to work with the Executive in all
national defense matters, which is more of an
admission that the Executive must be granted
broad powers than it is criticism of the
principle embodied in the lease-lend bill.
All in all then, once more Mr.. Kennedy has
exploded the stories Of socalled behind the
news columnists who branded him as one
Of the more articulate appeasers itching to
join Verne Marshall of the No Foreign War
Committee. He slapped the tribe down the
first time, it will be recalled, when he return
ed from London and made radio speech urg-
ing Mr.. Eoosevelt's reelection, when the
"lnow-alr' colunnsts said he was going to
blast Mr.. Roosevelt.
Soon or late, and we hope soon, somebody,
and it should be publishers who pay them, is
going to tell our freewheeling gossip column
lists that the freedom of the press they
sermonize about is suffering more from their
prate than from any of the ghosts they write
about. 3
