Don't Expect Too Much

Thousands Of American families are dream
ing Of a new postwar home, complete with
miraculous gadgets OF comfort convenience and
beauty. Those dreams are bolstered in good
many cases by nice nest egg of War Bonds
for the down payment. And now along comes
the National Association of Home Builders with
u rude awakening. At first blush it seems
q mean trick, but it will probably turn out to
be an act Of great kindness.
The association recently asked SIT fami-
lies from coast to coast about their postwar
wants and expectations. The following case of
the Smith family is based on the majority Of
answers, and may be considered accurate:
The Smiths plan to build within two years
after the war; and to pay between $4,000 and
IS, O00-not more than $1,000 down or more than
$50 month. For that they expect six rooms
and basement, with separate dining room and
two bathrooms.
The Smiths want air conditioning summer
and winter; electronic controls to make house
keering simpler; extensive use Of plastics in
plumbing bathroom fixtures, wall surfaces, and
elsewhere They also want movable partitions;
outside walls which will open on their garden
or terrace in warm weather; complete-unit
rooms that can be added or removed accord
ing to family requirements They are conf
dent that all these improvements will be avail
able within year after the wars end.
And here's the payoff. The Smiths won't buy
or build unless they have at least the first
three of these improvements
Now, where did the Smiths get their ideas
for the postwar house? From stories and ad

Plan Now For Future

Wilmingtons postwar progress is to be mea-
sured by the wisdom and efficiency of its lead
ership.
Never in its long history have conditions IA
vored development so greatly Commerce will
be available for its port as in no other period
save when naval stores and cotton were at their
height North Cardinals own industrial produc-
ton will be great enough to keep fleet of
cargo carriers busy.
Aviation, which will be a leading medium of
transportation after the war can be among the
cty's most valuable assets because of the mag
nificent airfield the Army has built in the SUBJ
urbs
The beaches can rival the patronage enjoyed
by resorts further up the Atlantic coast, par
ticularly as the American public so long kept
at home by the gasoline and rubber shortage
and the overcrowding of trains and buses in
the movement of military forces and the lack
of other travel facilities. will take to the road
as never since the automobile turned nine out
of ten persons into nomads.
The agriculture of the area may be put on a
paying basis, not only because of growing
public demand but also because through soil
analysis and better acquaintance with the
requirements of good crop production farm
ers may raise the standard of their output
Even though Wilmington has received no re-
cognition in the administration gigantic post
war highway program, its road communication
with regions to the north and south and west
may be independently developed for the accom-
mediation of the motoring public
These are assets from which Wilmington may
reap great dividends, when the firing ceases,
if preparation is made now to acquire them
But it must be accepted as fact that they will
not come of their own volition They must be
worked for, sweat for, constructively planned
for, from this day forth.
The port must have adequate terminals and
warehouses. Advanta geous land-haul freight
rates to tidewater must be secured. Only by
placing the port on a parity with other near
by coastal ports, both in rate structure and
facilities, can Wilmington enjoy its full and
proper share of postwar export and import
business
The ma gnificent airport at Buethenthal field
which will be available when the war is over
can reach full value only if air lines use it
westwardly as well as north and SOUTH not as
a way station but as an actual terminal with
adequate passenger, express, mail and freight
shipments.
Beach resorts can have their full share Of
patronage only if great improvement is made
in the accommodations offered, if, as this news
paper has suggested, great esplanade is built
along the shoreline and protected by a sea
wall, and if the advantages thus created are
widely advertised.
The areas agriculture can at last come into
its own only if advanta geous markets are Great
ed and growers freed from shipping troubles
which have so often brought them freight bills
instead Of profits
1t is the duty of Wilmington's leaders to draft
program now for the city's postwar benefit,
just as the Allied war leaders charted their
course long in advance of invasion.

In deciding that Rome in Am.,

asset, the Anglo-American IoaJ is''
presurn ably were aware of so,s.
thing that the Nazis ALREADY ba5
discovered - that southern ond
central Italy was an economic L..
bility.
At a meeting of the German and
Italian military chiefs in TpIyn
Qoren the Nazi high command was
reported to have Informed tba
Italians that abandonment Of SOM.
thern and central Italy was de.
sirable.
The Nazis' idea was that tbe III,
innate defensive zone should IN
established on a line rlmnina
roughly between Rimini on tbo
Adriatic to Spezia on the west
coast, a line of great natural
strength 200 miles north of Rome
The German plan as set forth
then was not to make sudden
and voluntary retreat to the line
but rather to move back by a Sc.
ries of holding actions only wher
the enemy forced it.
The Nazis contended that TN
area to be abandoned was Habil
ity. It had large population whicl
must be fed. 1t had comparative
ly few industries. It did not con
tain the greater part of 1taly's foo
producing land.
A few days after the German
Italian staff meeting, MussoIin
was ousted; in September Ital
signed an armistice with the Al
lies and left her Axis partner. Tn
German armies thereupon set gu
to execute the plan proposed i
July a slow and steady with
draWal toward the Spezia- Rimin
line, taking with them all tn

Germany is, as her communion

according to plan. There seems t
be no immediate reason. however
to look for a quick, long and vol
untary jump to the Spezia-Rimin
line now that the Eternal City ha
fallen. Rather there is indicates
another attempt to reorganize an,

far north of Rome and there Il
