By WALTER LIPPMANN

In spite of the somewhat garbled
transmission of the names, it
would appear that all Of the IL
signers of the resolution dissolvlng
the Communist International come
from continental Europe. The coun-
tries represented on the executive
committee include Germany, Italy,
France, Hungary, Rumania, Bull
garia, Czecho-Slovakia, Spain and,
of course, Russia. There was no
one from North or South America,
from China or Japan or India,
nor, it seems, from the British
Commonwealth and Empire.
This is significant. For it re-
fleets a fact which is confirmed
from many other sources-namely
that in recent years, since Stain S
destruction of Trotzky and n e
"old Bolsheviks, the Third Inter-
national has been in practice an
instrument of Soviet policy on the
Continent of Europe. Elsewhere
the Communist parties have FOL
lowed the line of propaganda laid
down in Moscow. But on the Con-
tinent they were not only propa-
gandists: they have been in vary
ing degrees disciplined forces
charged with the possibility of or
ganizing governments under tn e
control of Moscow.
For this reason the Germans
have been quick to recognize the
practical importance of Stalin's ac-
ton. They know that the rising
European rebellion against them
is everywhere, including Russia it.

and patriotic. They know a Is o

that the power of the revolt has
been blunted by the fear which
runs through the aristocratic and
propertied classes to the social
lists, the trades unionists, the peas
ants-that with the defeat Oh the
Axis they would come under the
dictatorship of Communist party
which took its orders from Mos
COW. This fear is the source of
the strongest popular support
which Hitler still possesses on the
Continent. It has been strong pre-
cisely because it might be in some
measure true. For Hitler h s
spread havoc throughout Europe
and has destroyed much of the
ancient institutional life of Europe:
it was quite possible that when
the Nazi military power collapsed
the Communist parties woulo
emerge in the vacuum of authority
as the only disciplined organiza.
tions capable, with Russian help
of governing.
Hitler knows, therefore, that il
the basis of this fear is reduced
among the people of occupied
Europe the force Of the nationa!
resistance will become, as mill
tary events unfold, irresistible. He
knows, also, however much he
may try to pretend, that the ac'
ton of Moscow is not an empty
gesture and a clever bluff. Thai
is why the Axis propaganda is un
able to hide it's knowledge that ar
event of far-reaching practical I'M
portance has occurred. ...s

Baptist Group Asks Coun.
ell To Enforce Sum
day Prohibition

Members of the city council were
petitioned Wednesday by the Will
mington Baptist association to put
into effect statute, adopted at the
last session of the general assem-.
bly,, which prohibits the sale o1
beer from 1880 p. m. Saturday to
Z a. m. Monday.
Council members deferred action
on the petition, addressed to the
council and to the county commiss-
toner's of New Hanover, Brunswick
and Onslow counties, until the next
meeting when the new council will
be in office.
The petition is the result Of a
resolution adopted at the last ses.
sion of the Wilmington Baptist as.
sociation, composed of 40 churches,
and calls for action on the state
statue which left to the option o1
local governments whether Sunday
beer sales would be prohibited or
not. The same statue prohibited
sales of wine and beer between
1880 p. m. and a. m. nightly and
is now in effect here.
Appearing before the council, in
session for the last time before
the new council takes over, were
the Revs. James H. Butler, H. S.
Strickland and J. Roy Clifford.
During the meeting, the council
members adopted the overall tax
ordinance and burned approx

Governor J. Melville Broughton
told group here Wednesday
night that he was "of the firm
conviction that Wilmington will
become one of the greatest ports
on the Eastern Seaboard," that
he is striving toward and hopeful
for the consummation of a def

Broughton lauded the wartime eff

accomplishments Of the state
since Pearl Harbor, and present
ed prospects of North Carolina S

'The manner in which you have
met the problems Of production,
population, hous' e, transporta-
ton, military activities and medi-
cine is a matter of almost incred-
ible wonderment," he declared to
the small audience which braved

monies.

About 10 years ago, Virginia ex-
