ALLIES AGREE TO REJECT PLAN
TO FEED EUROPE UNTIL
NAILS GO

The United States government
has again rejected the Hoover plan
for feeding the small democracies
of Europe under Hitler's domina-
ton. The plan has it's humanitarian
points, but the Allies have decided,
and rightfully, that any plan to help
the starving French, Greeks, Poles,
and Belgians must be subordinated
to the main war objective-to wipe
out the Nazis.
Without examining the problem
closely, to help those suffering peo-
ple would seem step in that dl-
rection. Proponents of the Hoover
plan argue that a well-fed enemy OF
the Nazis on the continent will pc
more tempted to revolt. Such is not
the case The French and Russian
revolutions serve as points OF argu-
ment. A cruel governments greatest
time of danger is at hand when the
people under it's yoke are starving.
Sympathy is fine thing, but SYM
pathy and the feeding OF H1tler's
charges are not going to beat Hitler.
The German Government assumed
the duty of feeding Europe when it
conquered most of the continent,
and any plan to relieve Hitler OF his
burden will only prolong the war. 1t
is hard to understand why the ap-
peal is persistenly made to the U.
s. Government to back this plan
when all logic and facts are against
it.
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden has announced that the
only plan of the Allies to feed the
hungry is now in form of vast re
servoir of food and other supplies tt
feed the hungry on the continent
after Hitler is beaten. The prospec
tive fulfillment of this plan shoult
offer enough incentive for timel!
rveolt among the hungry of Europe
And they are engaged in that now.

What does the term "Gsh can"

An lash can" is slang term ap-
piled to the depth charge used to
combat submarines. The average
lash can" is a cOntainer filled
with approximately 800 pounds of
TINT. and can be dropped over
board from a ship and so COM
trOlled as to explode at depths
ranging from SO to 800 feet. These
are generally carried by the fast
ships in the fleet, as boat drop
ping a charge regulated to ex-
plode at 20 feet depth must move
away from the explosion area at
speed of rs knots or more. These
FASH cans" are either rolled off
the stern or shot from "y-guns"
which hurl one right and one left

Next March l., good many Amer
leans will have rude awakening
They will learn, for the first time
that war and defense are an incred-
IDLY costly business. For, on that
date, the highest income taxes ever
levied in this country will be due
and payable. Everyone knows that
the new tax bill is severe--but it is
probable that relatively few know
just how much of their income it
will take. And the new tax bill
reaches down into income levels
which were never touched before.
For instance, under the old law a
married person earning $4,000 a
year was not taxed at all. Under the
new law, he must pay $37.
The individual will not have met
his share of new taxes when he signs
his check for his income tax and
sends it in to the Collector of In
ternal Revenue. In addition, the
new bill levies large number OF
commodity taxes. Liquor, automo-
biles, household machinery, amuse-
ment enterprises, etc., are to be sub
stantially taxed. And the consumer,
of course, will have to pay. What
ever happens, it is clear that we are
just beginning to learn, at first hand,
the financial sacrifices that the de-
tense of our hemisphere makes un-
avoidable.

When the news broke that the
Federal Reserve Board was pre-
pairing regulations to control in
stallment credit, buyers rushed in
to buy cars, refrigerators and sim
liar goods before the deadline, in
fear that the new rules would make
installment purchasing next to i'm
possible. Now, however, the rules
have been issued, and it appears
that this fear was generally unjus-
titled. All they do is to prevent the
issuance of excessive credit, and to
make illegal certain credit prac-
tees which industry and financial
authorities alike have long consid-
cred unsound and potentially dan
gerous.

"YOU CAN DEFEND AMERICA
Since the first edition of "You
Can Defend America" a million
copies have been distributed and
newspapers throughout the country
have written reviews and editorials
about it. Business firms, factories
and labor unions have presented
copies to their personnel, and report
increased efficiency and morale as a
result. The Bendix Radio Corpora
ton. the Equitable Trust Company,
Hendler's Creamery, Locke Insulator
Corporation and the Curtis Bay
Towing Company are among the
Baltimore firms which have taken
such action.
During the summer, a stirring pa
triotic revue, inspired by the hand

England States, as part of cam
paign for building national morale.
Maryland people have taken part in
this campaign and helped to make

with Bert Donovan Donovan strode
from the hotel and the girl crossed
toward the elevators. Michael hesi-

her.
He said: Gould I speak TO you

he saw how chill her eyes became.
She said, Must you?" in a metallic
tone.
Michael said: 'I must It's about
a job" He thought that would get
her.
1t did get her. Some of the chill
left her and she asked, What sort

He smiled and said easily, Let's

She gave faint shrug. not an

They didn't talk as they drove

driving slowly through the MOON

gret that his decision was to use

could see the huge lighted windows

how anger thinned her lips. Her

he was glad they were. He didn't
want to see their contempt

By BOB THOMPSON

Raleigh. Dec. l5.-Since national
defense became a reality, the impor-
lance of the airport development IN
North Carolina during the past sew
Cral years has become more and
nor apparent. II is probably the
greatest feather in the cap Of WPA,
which helped to build almost every
oNe of them.
Already four of the airports which
WPA built, or improved and enlarg-
ed, are in the hands of the armed
services. They are Pope Field at Fort
Bragg, the Coast Guard base at EliZ-
aGeth City, now in the hands Of the
Navy, the Army air base at Char
lotte and the New Bern field which
is now being used by the Marine
Corps.
But the military importance Ct
these new. North Carolina fields ex-
tends far beyond these -four. The
more airports in an area, the more
difficult it is for an enemy to
make a concentrated attack or any
large number of grounded planes.
The more fields, the more effective
our own planes will be. for it takes
time to get a large number OF ships
into the an and if they are leaving
a number of fields in the same
vicinity at the same time, the sooner
they are ready for mass combat.
Consequently, many fields Whlct
are now claSSCd as civilian may soon
