Draft Of Womenpower

The American Association of University
Women has gone on record as favoring the
drafting of women for military service, if the
need is demonstrated by the War and Navy
Departments. This is a bold statement on a
touchy subject that has been limited at often
but seldom discussed openly.
There is bound to be considerable opposition,
much of it based on whispered exaggerations
This is unfortunate and unfair to the splendid
young women already in the service and the
excellent JOB they are doing But if manpower
needs become increasingly acute. the subject
of selective service for women will have to
be discussed sanely fairly, and openly.
In such a discussion three points at least
will surely be put forth in favor of conscrip-
ton: the almost unanimous approval by top
military officials of the work already done;
the failure of recruitment to meet WAC and
WAVE quotas; the great assistance that Eng.
lish women have given under a compulsory
service law.

QUOTATIONS

Unless we adjust nufacturing costs so
that it will be profitable to produce and in
sure to management the rights which incon-
testably belong to it, we better stop looking
for full employment-Prof. Leo Wolman of
Columbia university.
The greatest danger of an inflationary boom
will be after the fighting stops. There will
then be tendency on the part of the average
citizen to buy the things he couldn't get be-
fore and violent rise in prices may result.
William l. Myers, New York State College
of Agriculture dean.
l denounce those who come to America,
take advantage of the opportunities here, and
still retain allegiance to the countries from
which they came.-Rep. Jennings Randolph
of West Virginia.
Our own industrial accomplishments have
nominated us as the nation that must assume
position to guide others in the pathway of
peaceful production. And our nation needs
dictate that we apply ourselves to this work
at once.-Resolution by Senators Thomas of
Utah, Kilgore of West Virginia, Truman of
Missouri.

not be accomplished now win be carried over
into the postwar program.
The activity of Gilbert F. Morton, city build
ing inspector, in initiating the proceedings re-
sulting in the repair or destruction of the
dilapidated buildings is worthy of the favor
able comment it has received. The city is
fortunate in having this officer to help lead
in carrying out its attacks on slunas. His role
in the good housing forces is an important
one and it is apparent that he is qualified to
carry out his duties
Because OF the determined attitude of the
council and the excellent machinery set up
to carry out it's policies, the picture for bet
ter housing-also meaning a more beautiful
city-is today brighter than at any time since
the slum-clearance program was opened.
The degree to which we advance, both now
and in the days following the war, depends
in large measure on public support. With the
fine examples we now have and realization
of what the program means to the community
whole, we see no reason why it shouldn't
be maintained and increased, to the fullest
possible extent.

ring. The dugout is heated to the
baking point by one of these funny
Italian stoves, which for some rea-
son are always painted pink. The
officers chop their own wood for
the stove
To go with the pink stove, the
boys dug up from somewhere a
huge overstuffed chair covered in
old-rose upholstery. They have
named tte-r dugout 1.-THE Rose
Room"
They have several electric lights,
and the crcwnlng luxury of this
palatial establishment is a RUDE
Goldberg arrangement of ropes
and pulleys. whereby one of the
lieutenants can switch off the light
after he gets in bed. They even
have big white dog, slightly she'll
shocked to lie on the hearth.
From all this you might draw
the deduction that war isn't hell
after all. Well, these men can and
do go into battle 20 minutes away,
and every day and every night
shells and bombs fall around them,
and it's an Unusual day when
somebody isn't killed within their
own little village of dugouts.

Real Anti-Slum Work

When city meets its obligation, financially
or otherwise, it is simply doing what is ex-
pected of it, For it to do more than is asked
and exceed its promises in the interest OF the
public good, it is to be commended.
Therefore, congratulations are in order to
the City council for CONCERNING more SUBJ
standard housing than was stipulated in its
contracts with the Federal Public Housing
Authority that made slum- clearance projects
available here. The commitments called for
the removal of 462 unsatisfactory homes but,
to date, orders for eradication of 513 slun-
cells in the community scene have been ex-
ecuted.
Approval OF this undertaking has been re-
ceived from the FPHA. In addition, H. R.
Emory, executive secretary of the Housing
Authority of the City of Wilmington, has add
ed his praise, declaring that the work has
been accomplished in a most creditable man.
ner. We have every right to take pride in
this recognition of the citys progress in the
field of good housing.
But even more significant is the fact that
fulfillment Of its contracts with the FPHA is
lust part of the determination of the city
administration to rid the community of hous-
ing not fit for human occupancy. Because the
contract has been filled does not mean an
arn,istice in this war against slums. Rather,
it appears to be an inspiration for even greater
measures. Recently the council reaffirmed its
observation-disclosures in words but real action
and there is every indication that it will
continue its aggressive policy. Work that can.

Smart Czechs

OF all European governments thrown out OF
their homeland by the Germans, the Czechs
seem to be the smartest in preparing for the
days when they will return.
To begin the life of the Czechoslovak re-
CINE in exile has not been marred with the
discord that others, notably Yugoslavia, have
suffered. The unity of its twin purpose-do
all we can to help beat the Nazis and then
rush home and start rebuilding-has been out
minimum.
Everyone knows that Czechoslovakia will
be won back by the Russians, British and
Americans So, instead of pickering among
themselves, the leaders of this fine little dem
ocracy have got together with their big broth
ers and agreed on a plan for administering
their territory soon as military operations
permit Because the Russians will be the first
to enter, a delegation of the Czech govern
ment will move into the liberated areas the
moment the Red army command declares
them behind the fighting line This will be an
occupational government but one composed
of the returning leaders Of its own people,
President BeneS is most LlOIOuSA la LILO - ~
arations. He has already appealed to unoer-
ground leaders to form small secret commit
tees in every city and village to work with
the returning government.
The Czech plan appears very sound.
All Europe will be in turmoil after the ar
mistice. Internal fioting in Germany and
in some cases, in the liberated territories is
to be expected. The latter will doubtless be
the result of poor organization and bitter po-
litical struggles between groups to gain the
upper hand in reaching for favors from the
Allies.
But the Czechs are preparing along sensible
lines The chances are the Allies will let
them alone and welcome the opportunity to
have them attend to their own affairs. This
is exactly what President Benes and his as
sociates want. If just one of the many states
freed from the Nazi yoke will behave, like
the Czechs intend to do, after we put Hitler
away it will ease the United Nations recon-
struction tasks that much '>-~-

Wilkes Withdrawal

The dramatic withdrawal of Wendell Willkie
as candidate for the Republican presidential
nomination means that regardless of the de.
sires of Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New
York, he is now the party's No. candi-
date.
Willkie failed because he could not sell his
program to the country. He selected Wiscon-
sin as the field to test his popularity and
when the primary ballots were counted he
had not won single delegate. The state was
an excellent testing ground because, as he
had pointed out, mo Republican could be
some of the votes of the major midwestern
states"
Perhaps Willkie tried too hard too long.
Certainly he talked too much as a member
leaders. For four years he has wanted to
',e the countrys Man on Horseback, leading
US down the road to early victory and then
on to greater and different place in the
international picture following the war. But
he gave the impression he was on too many
horses dashing off in too many directions.
Willkie has many admirable qualities. He
has been a powerful influence in the rejuve-
nation of the Republican party. He has forced
some in the inner councils of his own group
and democratic leaders alike to pull from
the beaten path and welcome new political
bought And above ALL he is philosophical
and unselfish-a good loser.
AS he steps down. a presidential nomina-
ton without strings moves closer toward Gov
Dewey, who has said he is not can.
didate but has never asserted that he would
not accept. To date, 1872 convention delegates
have been pledged to him or can be his for
the asking Lieut. Commander Harold E. Stas-
sen has 26 and General Macarthur three.
His other major opponent is Governor John
W Bricker OF Ohio who has yet to show
publicly in any of the convention delegate Sc
lections made.
Wilkes action may be the signal for a
stampede-already taking shape-to the can
d'dacy of Governor Dewey. 1t means greater
unity among the Republicans unless there
are equally sensational developments in the
months to come, and it increases their chances
of victory in the November election.

If you do, it isn't difficult.
All you have to do is to make your vacant
room or rooms available by listing them with
the USO-Travelers Aid. It's as easy as reach.
ing for your telephone and diang 2-2221 or
2-0349 and reporting the vacancy.

lishments The crowds will be even greater
this year because two great religious events
occur in close proximity Passover, the an
Gent Jewish commemoration of the delivery
of the Israelites from Egypt, begins Friday
night Easter will be celebrated by all Chris
tians on Sunday.
Both are religious holidays closely associ.
ated by tradition with home and family re-
union. Few men and women in the armed
services will have the opportunity to go home
but their families will want to be with them.
Whether we make the extra housing avail
able will determine whether there will be
many happy reunions, the last for many of
the men before they go overseas
This city has a fine record among war
communities for meeting the housing needs
of servicemen and its many new industrial
workers. The USO-Travelers Aid has yet to
suggest to relatives or friends of servicemen
coming here that they return home because
of a lack of housing accommodations. Will
mington has met the problem every time
but this weekend may tax its facilities to the
limit, therefore, the appeal that more and
yet more homes be opened is being made.
Please, if you are in position to help, do
your share. If you have a relative or friend
in the army, navy marines, you know how
much few hours or days with him mean.
Make this pleasure possible for someone else
and the best way Of doing it is through reg
stration of your extra housing with the USO-

to discredit by the farcical Rior

to discredit by the farcical Rom
trials. Mr.. Cot has used these trials
as a skeleton upon which to hang
his evidence and his observations,
not because the trials proved any
thing, but for precisely the oppo-
site reason AS he says, the ancient
Marshal himself acknowledged the
mistake he mace by instituting the
trials when ne adjourned them
without verdict and in fear of the
reaction the able defense might
cause throughout France.
Mr.. Cot admits freely that he
did not do enough as under-secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs
and later as minister of aviation
in Blum's popular front govern
ment. But he tried, and in his book
he explains what this was. Of the
many efforts he made, he was
most proud of an attempt to ally
France with Russia in addition to
Cechoslovakia; if his status as a
defendant al the Rom trials had
not been in absentia, he would
have confessed his chagrin. that
partly through fear of England S
reaction, this was not achieved.
Mr.. Cots frankness extends
through the present, into the fu-
ture. Although he has been work
ing with the new French Consul
tative Assembly in Africa, he be-
lieves it is not sufficiently clear
about its function and contains the
seed of much future difficulty be-
cause of the influence the reac-
tionary element has with it.
And he is sure that when Ger
many has been driven out of
France, the new French leaders
will not come out of the Assem-
bly,, but out of the French under
ground. Vichy will not be purged,
he says, without some broken Win
dowpanes. And when this is done,
it must be expected that the new
France will be socialistic, much
more radical than the old, in con-
sonance with the still living ideals
of the French Revolution.
