Adequate Meat Supply Seen
Despite Run on Markets Here
Housewives Storm Stores to Stock Up

Meat dealers in the Washing

what they probably will remem-

When the last customers had been

Other golf clubs in the Capital

DROUGHT IS BROKEN

The rainfall of SO inches which
Fell here Monday brought the No
vember total to 1.22 inches which
is still IA inches below normal.
Predictions show little if any more
rainfall for Tuesday, Paul Hess,
weather bureau official, said late
Monday. With the exception of
the .63 inches of rainfall a few
days ago there has been a ten
week drought in this area, the
longest in over ten years.
1.-The rain which fell Monday was
mostly in the southeast part of
North Carolina said MIR. Hess,
therefore, it will not help the
water situation as much as if it
had began in the interior of the
state. This rain will help the
streams and wells some, but more
is needed" Mr.. Hess continued.
When asked about the condition
CT fall crops, R. M. Galphin, coun-
ty agent, said, This rain came too
late to be of much good to the
fall crops. n will help to rot the
vegetation which is in the soil and
thus fertilize the soil and prepare
it for spring though"
The mean temperature during the
past week was 81 degrees, which il
one-half degree above normal, ac'
cording to Mr.. Hess.

mean to hold the German nation
Irresponsible for the acts of the &c
responsible for the acts of the Ger.
man nation. But in fact, as a mat.
ter OF morals, the question at is.
sue is whether the Germans as a
nation are to be regarded as
adults, endowed with reason and
with freedom Of will and therefore
morally responsible, or whether
they are to be regarded as way.
ward children or criminally in.
sane, who, lacking the capacity to
distinguish between right and
wrong, must be put in the custo-
dy of guardians.
When this ultimate issue is
faced, we may see that those who
wish to hold the German nation
responsible are. though the mate
rial consequences may be hard,
showing a higher human respect
for the German nation and its fu-
ture place in human society than
are those who wish ITO treat the
nation as morally irresponsible.
For if the nation is to be treated
as morally irresponsible, how can
it ever be restored to an equal
place among the nations?
This is, I venture to suggest
quite tentatively, the root of the
matter. If it is, then there follows
from it the question OF how, if the
German nation is held RESPONSE
BILE, punishment may be limited to
the minimum necessary to be de-
terrent and the conditions set for
redemption.
The answer to that crucial ques-
ton cannot be given by the Allies.
If our fundamental principle is
that the German nation is human,
has freedom Of will and is morally
responsible, then the acts of the
Germans can alone answer the
question. In so far as they punish
their criminal leaders, they will
relieve the Allies of the burden OF
inflicting punishment In so far as
they themselves act with moral
responsibility, which means doing
acts of repentance and reparation,
they will restore their right to
sovereignty and their place in hu.
man society.
There is "A Statement by the
Ethics Committee Of the Catholic
A s O C a ion for international
Peace" which deals with the ques.
ton of ''retributive justice after
the war;" 1t should not be missed
by any who wish to study this
difficult question. / cannot sum.
Marie it here. But it begins with
this passage from St. Angus
tine: "Just wars are usually de.
fined as those which avenge in.
juries, when the nation or city
against which War-like action is to
be directed has neglected either
to punish wrongs committed by
its own citizens or to restore what
has been unjustiy taken by it. -
This, if l read it correctly, is
the doctrine of the moral RESPONSE
bility of the nation for the acts of
the state which governs it.
The Wilmington morning star., 1943-11-30
GERMANY IS HOLDING

be held responsible for the acts of
the German state. The question is
profound and it is complicated.
But we must begin to seek sim
cerely and humbly for the right
answer
Must we not begin--and I say
this as genuine inquiry-by ex-
amlning this question. if the Ger
man people-not individual Ger
mans as such but the German
people organized as a sovereign
state-are a member Of the soci-
ETY. OF nations, can we deny the
responsibility Of the German peo-
pie for the acts of that state with
out denying them their claim to
form sovereign state? If it is
true, as some maintain, that the
German people are rot account
able for the fact that the German
state has been d criminal menace
to the world. then it follows, does
it not, tina. the German people are
not fitted for seH-government.
How can they be accorded the
rights of a sovereign nation with
out being accountable for the re-
suits.
If, therefore, it is to be argued
that not the German nation but
only Hitler and his gang are ac-
countable, it would follow that
when we remove Hitler and his
gang, the Allies rather than the
Germans must govern Germany,
govern it beneticently and pater-
nally if you like, but govern it.
The argument for regarding the
German nation as innocent is, if
we really examine it, an argument
which ends in the conclusion that
however kindly we treat Germans
as individuals, as an organized ma
ton on German territory the Ger
mans are incapable OF, or unready
for, independence For the nation
cannot have the moral right of
Independence and sovereignty if
the nation is 10 be abSolved OF
moral responsibility.
