Get On The Air Map

Paul Nelson of the Aeronautical Chamber
Of Commerce of America who addressed
Joint meeting of three Rotary clubs here on
TUESDAY, night, was correct in saying that VII
mington cannot afford to stay off the air map
now being drafted for the postwar era by air
lines and government agencies.
This is one project on which Wilmington has
expended united and tremendous effort for
some wears The failure to be already on an
air line is not the city's or its leaders fault
Not even the National Air Lines, which has
franchise to operate planes through the city
has been permitted to land ship because the
Army air base at Bluethenthal airport is still
REQUIRED in the war program. This is something
that is expected to be dealt with when peace
comes.
Wilmington has no intention of seeking to up
set the War Departments program by protest
ing its ruling on Bluethenthal. At the same
time, there is no good reason why the building
Of another field of major proportions should
not be undertaken. A start has been made by
the promoters Of the private field near the
beach Maybe. with the public interested and
in view of the possibilities in aviation as
postwar industry as well as the great impetus
to private flying that is universally accepted
as assured when individuals may again take
to the air this field could be enlarged for the
big airliners which will be aloft as soon as the
firing ceases This is something to think about.
But there is another opening for Whining
tons participation in aviation. 1t was seriously
considered when the city was seeking war In
dustries but for one reason and another was
not brought into existence. 1t is an alrplane
assembly plant or parts factory. Such project
would give Wilmington an even more lmpor-
tant place on the air map mentioned by Nj.
Nelson And it would give Wilmington one OF
the many industries which it is anxious to have
established in its area as factor contributing
to its postwar prosperity. This, too, is some
thing to think about. Better than that, 1t is
something for the cts leadership to do some
thing about.

thing about.

Los Angeles police are properly concerned
over the threat to allow Japanese in intern
ment camps to return to that city since, in
the shallow thinking of some officials the dan
ger of japanese war parties reaching the Pa
cific coast is past There is no way OF fore
seeing what new dangers japanese at liberty
IN Los Angeles OF any other community on
the coast might create
Los Angeles has had long and bitter ex-
perience of Japanese arrogance and beshaIty
Long before there was any thought OF war
with Tokyo the little yellow men were all out
intolerabe There were exceptions, OF course
Some Japanese were good citizens and had
no greater ambition than to merit the respect
of Americans But for the most part the Jap
nese were out to do what harm they could
without paying penalties
How many thousands were actual agents OF
the Tokyo government cannot be ascertaneo,
Of course But their number was too high for
safety japanese fishermen were forever max
ing maps Of the coast its harbors, inlets and
beaches. Japanese farmers were forever
studying American customs not with the idea
Of adopting them but to advise Tokyo so that
when time came for attack the war lords
would know what to expect.
They knew what defenses existed and what
open spaces were available for secret land
ing japanese house boys outWardly obsequ-
Gus, were forever picking up bits of nforma-
ton that might have value when their armies
arrived Japanese pupils in the universities
were acquiring knowledge, particularly in en-
cheering, that they might be of service when
the yellow hordes came on conquest duty.
Is it possible that any thoughtful person
who knows anything about the record Of Japa-
nese, in Los Angeles or elsewhere, can really
believe that, as class, they have undergone
a change OF heart during their internment
and would become good American citizens
once they were released? 1t is hard to believe.
If the United States authorities are concern
ed about the secul y Of the Pacific coast
now and after the war ends, they will see
to it that no japanese internees who cannot
establish by their past performance their in
disputable loyalty to 2his government are turn
ed loose to resume their nefarious activities
in the area which is most exposed to Japa-
nese trickery, savagery and barbarism.

and draw from them a set of Won
derful pictures, such as the bored
men sitting around in the black

drawn down into their overcoats;
such as a clever colonel handling
his erring lieutenants so expertly
that not one man even flushed
when corrected.
Boys being QUILTED, mumbling
about camp in the vague state be-
tween civilian and soldier, boys
watching expert actors show
them how to do things and how
not to do them, lonely boys
and cussing boys-all Of them are
drawn in all kindness. Mr.. Miller

findings, but when he does, they
are good conclusions. He thinks,

Forging Ahead

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Companys
e2.C0O, 900 investment in new and heavier rails
fol requirements on the Richmond jacksonville
Inc is fresh evidence of this company's pro-
gress veness and determination to do its part
in service and for safety.
The benefits of the project many. The
steel mills with which the order placed
will he able to assure employment to workers
in is rail departments Coal and iron miners
will have this much more work. Special steel
gangs will have to be employed for the change
out. All this, during the period of reconverson,
when employment will offer problem for fac
tories of all kinds and plant workers every
where.
BY using this heavier than-usual rail, coupled
with the fact that in all replacement sections
tracks will have to be reoalasted and conse-
quenty firme7, the Coast Line will have pro-
vided additional safety for its patrons. Still
another benefit is the company's obvious con-
fidence in postwar business.
While there is so much talk about the DIFF
ficulties that all BUSINESS must expect to face
when war contracts expire, it is gratifying
to have this company, with headquarters in
Wilmington plainly say that it has no fear of
any possible depression.
