Build Terminals Now

One reason for supporting the proposal to
build public port terminals in Wilmington is
that they will place this city on more equal
footing with competing ports.
Heretofore Norfolk and Charleston have alb
sorbed the lions share of commerce which
could have been cleared here because they
were equipped to accommodate it
Millions of tons of merchandise have passed
through their ports, even under the handicap
OF higher rates en- route to them, only be-
cause Wilmington lacked adequate facilities.
Now it is proposed to build a general ter
nainal and tobacco warehouse where the
products of rich area may be accommodated
and Wilmington receive the benefit of the
revenues thus to be created.
Existing facilities can't do the job They
are capable Of taking care Of only certain
kinds of commerce.
Until the proper type of facilities are built
all other commerce will reach tidewater else.

For the present, there is no commerce NOV
ing on any waters. Is this not the best oj
times, therefore, to prepare for the day when
the seas will again be utilized for trade and
ports on the Atlantic coast bustling?
The wise merchant does not content him.
self with the business of today alone. On the
contrary, he looks ahead and plans for the
future, laying out his capital so that he NAV
reap greater profits later on.
That is a common practice. None Of the
great business houses, the great industries
OF this country would have achieved great
ness if they had been content to rock alone
in rut
Can a port hope to prosper if it, too sticks
to a groove? Not if the example of biz
business and industry is fair gauge.
This war will not last always. Sooner OF
later it must end. And when hostilties cease

joint legislative appropriations
committee tonight voted to rec
ommend that the greater Univer-
sity of North Carolina receive next
biennium $54O,376 more than was

That increase would give the

N. c. State at Raleigh, $100,975

which to install elevators in the
textile building.
The committee held a night ses-

JAPAN'S AMBASSADOR
| SAYS NATION SEEKS
PEACEFUL EXPANSION

JAPAN into war;" the ambassador
said.
Japan has treaty obligations tc
the Axis powers-Germany ana
Italy-and will "observe them
faithfully" Nomura asserted.
But he went on to say that 81
believe America will not 60 into
the war openly and declare war
against Germany, so that situa-
ton (the treaty obligations) will
not arise"
Implying that Japan felt obi
gated to enter the conflict only
in the event of formal American
declaration of war against Ger
many, he said it was largely a
question of Interpretation of the
treaty"
Wants To Avoid War
"When Japan entered the agree
ment dast September)," the am
bassador continued, sit was her
intention to preserve the peace IN
the Pacific. She did not envisage
war with the United States. She
wanted to avoid it,
Japan likewise, he said, wanted
to stay out of the European war
and prevent it's extension to the
Pacific"
He acknowledged that the "at-
mosphere' in the United States
toward Japan was worse than he
had believed before he left Japan
a few weeks ago.
About the same time he was
talking at the embassy, the house
was passing legislation authorizing
naval expansion program in the
Pacific, including improvement Of
defenses at the far Western Is
lands of Guam and Samoa.

More Important That Bridges

There is going to be a lot of discussion
about the move to deport Harry Bridges, the
west coast longshoremens leader Most OF
it is going to be beside the point.
There will be great debate on whether
Bridges rights are being infringed upon, de-
bate on whether the new proceedings against
him smack of persecution. All that we are
not discussing here, because it is not the
most important phase of the question.
Suppose Bridges is deported. And he de-
serves to be; but does anyone suppose that
such an act will change the situation in the
unions over which Bridges has exerted lead
ership and influence? Does anyone suppose
that the followers he has led along a path
SO closely parallel to the Communist party
line will suddenly change just because an
Individual has been deported? Will the de-
portation, for example, of Mrs. Browder wife
OF the general secretary of the Communist
party, have the slightest effect, except per-
haps to strengthen the beliefs of all people
who incline to sympathy? Of course not. The
whole history of the radical movement for
100 years shows the futility of such efforts
to silence the individual.
Organizations should be won away from such
leadership, not by breaking the leaders nor
by breaking the organizations. Both courses
are futile. The only course which offers real
hope is the continued demonstration that such
leadership is fatal. 1t was fatal to the German
trade unions; fatal to the French; fatal to
ic o1r
worse than a handicap to the American, as
it has proved itself to have been to the British
Whether Harry Bridges is Communist or
not, we don't pretend to know. Considerable
investigation with facilities beyond our own
nave tailed to give a clear-cut answer. But
LII tnese days when the regular Communist
procedure is to deny membership and to lead
non'members down the party line, it doesn'1
matter SO much, anyway. The only question
is: does the mans course over a period o1
years appear to have been shaped by the
interests OF American trade unionism or by
tne interests Of international Stalinism? Tha1
is question to be considered not by a cour
OF law at all, but by the members of his own
organization and those who have accepted
direction and influence from him.
The quuestion of the rights of individual:
is important. But we speak here Of the ques
ton Of their influence
TO think, to speak, to write-these are rights
But to lead is not right-that is a privilege
which those who follow can take away at any
time they may be convinced that the leader
ship is bad.
Are the American people concerned witt
Communist leadership among the workers ii
key industries?
There is only one way to change that stu
alton effectively: to show how disastrous suct

y WASHINGTON Daybook
By LACK STINNET

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-If the administra-
ton had searched through all Its million-odd
employees for man to crack the whip over
industry and keep the prices of defense ma
terials down. it is doubtful if it could have
found anyone who puts more zest into the job
than Leon Henderson.
1t isn't that Henderson enjoys belaboring
legitimate business He's too good an econo-
mist to feel that way about it. But he does
love scrap. Next, perhaps, what he loves
most is new job. And in the third place he
probably has thought talked and written more
memos on the activities of controlled prices
than any other government worker in the six
years that he has been around Washington
1t was a scrap that led to Hendersons first
government job. He was going along his own
quiet way as professor of industrial economics
at Carnegie Institute of Technology when Gen.
Hugh Johnson called him into an NRA con-
ference.
If the general expected any tame pedagogue
to show up and expound in cultured tones and
PROFESSIONAL verbiage, he got the surprise of
his life. In phrases almost as salty as the
generals, Henderson crossed swords with the
NRA boss in a glorious, slam-bang fracas
When the dust of battle had settled johnson
hired him.

WAS JUST A BEGINNING

That was only one Of long chain of federal
jobs Henderson was to hold. He later became
economic advisor to WPA. He was made a
member of the temporary national economic
committee that investigated monopolies. He
worked for the Senate monopolies committee.
Even now, in addition to his job as price-hawk
of the defense commission, he is member
OF the Securities and Exchange Commission
and only few weeks ago resigned from the
defense priorities board. Through it all, he
has been sort of unofficial economic advisor
to the administration and New Deal source
of new ideas.
This business of spreading his tremendous
energy over the whole landscape is nothing
new to Henderson. The son of Swedish
New Jersey farmer he worked his wa
through Swarthmore College by holding down
IA jobs, often several Of them a: the same
time. He went into the ordnance corps in
the army as buck private in 1917 and
emerged two years later as a captain.
Henderson is a medium-height roundish fel-
low with shock of black hair which he never
burdens with hat He has a tendency to
be careless in appearance. One of his idiosyn-
cracies is um-chewing and he must buy his
packages of wax by the gross.
