A Staggering Job

The problem of raising a new civilization
in Europe after the war will be staggering
II will not be merely a question of moving
shploads of clothing, food and American prod
ucts, with the expectation that a starving
populace will buy them forthwith.
Europe after the war will be an example
Of the futilty of production without adequate
means of distribution. OF course we will ship
great quantities of goods into postwar Eu-
rope on the basis of charity alone, to be dis
tributed by soup kitchen methods. This will be
stopgap, nothing more Civilization in Eu.
rope cannot rise again until her people can re-
construct self-supporting economic systems
and restore distribution channels capable of
absorbing the products of industry and passing
them along to the people at prices the people
can pay. Only then can American production
hope to aid substantially in the rebuilding
of war-torn Europe.
With the example of Europe before us, we
should not underestimate the importance Of
encouraging our own magnificent distribution
system. Hundreds of thousands of merchants
are constantly pouring billions of dollars worth
Of orders into the offices Of manufacturers
for goods which make American civilization a
living reality. They are instrumental in keep
ing prices at levels that do not interrupt the
free flow of trade.
Above all, we should never for moment
forget that mass distribution goes hand in
hand with maximum production. Every store
on every main street in every town is part of
distribution system. Unless those stores can
serve consumers efficiently and economically,
factories cannot produce. This must be kept
in mind when legislation and regulation are
proposed that retard or discourage private
enterprise.

Population Shifts

| The federal Census bureau has completed
population survey of the country which
shows a general increase between july 1,1940
and July l, 1912 of 2101 ,225 persons. The total
is not the result OF an actual canvass but it
is based upon ration book registrations, partly
on birth and fatality statistics and with allow
anec for net immigration and for strength of the
armed forces. Members of the armed service
stationed outside the continental United States
were excluded.
The total population so estimated, there
tore, is not completely accurate, but serves
very well to present the national picture. The
estimate of a 1101,2 gain raises the count
in the country to 133 ITO, 500. It is to be re-
membered however that this figure is as Of
Juy l, 1912, since which time some millions
OF men have been sent overseas Unless Con.
gress should set aside a rule and order
special census when the armed forces have
returned after the war, there will be no
means of knowing what the United States
population totals.
But there is information in the this new
estimate which is tremendously interesting It
deals with population shifts by which some
states have advanced and Others twenty-five
in fact, have decreased. The District of Column
bia gained most in percentage, jumping from
685, 124 to 1865, 220 California made the largest
numerical advance by 1861 to 1852, 74s On
the other hand, North Dakota suffered the
largest loss on a percentage basis-8.9 peri
cent-and five others, South Dakota Nebras-
ka, Oklahoma, Montana and Idaho lost more
than 5 per cent Other states that dropped
during the two year period are Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. West
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Colorado,
and New Mexico.
1t will become one of the major problems
of these states including our own North Caro-
lima, to find means after the war for sharing
whatever increase in population takes place.
The table compiled by the Census bureau
shows North Cardinals population in 1910 was
$685. 27 and in 1912, 1857, Asa loss of 49,
1T. With the increase in industrial activity
in the meantime, the strong probability is
that this loss has been overcome
Contrarwise in view of the increasing in
duction of North Carolina men in the armed
services, it may have grown larger. In any
event, the states leadership will have to con-
centrate thought and effort upon the PROPOSE
ton of increasing the population after the
war, if North Carolina is to profit by the
great opportunities or progress that have
sprung from the war effort within our bound
aries.

China's Place In Affairs

There is a vast difference in the view of
China held in the United States and Great
Britain. This country has taken the position
that China deserves a place among the chief
Axis enemies. Britain is not willing to give
China such a place. Britain is not willing to
concede territory or holdings acquired over
a long period of years, or, when the war IS
won, give her place near the head of the
table.
Of the two attitudes we feel that ours is
better than Britain's. We believe that the hope
of the Orient lodges in adequate systematized
DEVELOPMENT of China's resources and her rise
to diplomatic prominence in Asia. But we be-
lieve that China still has much to do for her
self before she will deserve a high place in
world affairs For China is still nation in the
process of being born and not a nation from
which we should expect automatically the full
fillnent of internal and external obligations
which We ourselves are not sure we can guar
antee.
Surveying the whole situation in the Orient,

Christian Science Monitor, gives some excel

Any Interpretation Possible

is possible to construe a mans words
IN any way that best suits the interpreter
purpose. Thus General MacArthur's brief let
tiers to Rep. A. L. Miller of Nebraska are
being interpreted as revealing him in re-
ceptive mood for the Republican nomina ton
for the presidency and critical of the admin
istration at Washington
The general is so incensed at the view. in
some quarters, of the correspondence he con-
Quoted with Mr.. Miller, which he insists was
not intended for publication, that he has made
a statement to the public in which he seeks
to make his position entirely clear. This state
ment, which has not previoU :. been given to
StarNews readers, is printed here for their
benefit. It reads:
Il entirely repudiate the sinister interpre-
tation that they (the letters) were intended as
criticism of any political philosophy or of any
personages in higher Office the Macarthur
statement said adding:
Il can only say as I have said before that
I have not sought the office nor do I seek it..
I have devoted myself exclusively to the con-
duct of the war. My sole ambition is to assist
our beloved country to win this vital struggle
by the fulflment of such duty as has been
or may be assigned to me.
ITO construe them otherwise is to misrep-
sent my intent. l have not received Congress-
man Miller's third letter in which he is re-
ported to advise me to announce nv candi-
dacy for the office of President of the United
States. The high constitutional processes of
our representative and republican form of gov
eminent in which there resides with the people
the sacred duty Of choosing and electing their
Chief Executive are of SO imposing nature
as to be beyond the sphere of any individuals
coercion or decision.''
This seems to indicate that he has no desire
to be thrust into political campaign while
he is engaged in mastery military cam.
paign against the japanese. The unfortunate
thing is that however clear he makes his po-
sition some busybodies will still claim that he
has left the way open to be drafted for the
presidential nomination by the republican con-
vention.

ent advice 1T will be necessary" he writes,
'for Americans to be very wise and balanced
in their consideration of the Chinese situation
The Chinese are very practical people. Our
entry into the war, which was expected to
save them, has up to now made things a great
deal more difficult. They must survive and
with the instincts that have preserved their
civilization longer than any other some of
them seize the means at hand.
'Let us not become outraged and self-right-
eous as the facts about China come to light.
AS long as strikes flourish in both America
and Britain, long as easter" parades re-
veal our fashion industry going at full blast
as long as our black markets burgeon in many
communities, as long as the Truman Com
mittee and others uncover fantasies of profit
making and industrial taking together with
labor hold-ups of indescribable effrontery-
as long as these things continue, are in
no position to cast the first stone.
China's heroic and at times brilliant fight
against the Japanese when all the odds We're
against her has appealed so strongly to our
emotions that we have been overwilling to
exclude many conditions from consideration
of her future position in an Axis-free world
surrendering none of our kindly sympathy for
her, we must, for her own sake as we'll as
our own give more attention. when Chlnas
military needs have been supplied, to her
domestic needs and her need for sober coun-
Gil to fit her for a commanding place In

Firms and Reds Far Apart

Roughly, Russia's offer of peace for Finland
contains terms which the Films feel they can
not accept. Any armistice would have to pro
vide, according to advices from Stockholm:
l. German troops must be interned or
driven out Of Finland by the end Of April
g. Finnish troops must retreat to the
March, 1940 border by stages, also during
April.
g. Russian and Allied prisoners of war;
and interned civilians must be repatriated
If peace pact is signed, Finnish civilians
will be returned from Russia in the same
manner
4. Finnish military forces must be de-
modified so per cent during May and dur
ing June and July the rehabilitation must
be carried through to point of only a
peace-time standing army.
5. Six hundred million dollars must be
paid in the next five years for material
damage Finland caused Russia by war
and occupation. This should be paid in
cellulose, paper, ships and machines
6. The Petsamo district must be coded
to the Soviet. If Finland accepts these
terms the Russian Government considers
the possible free return of the Hangoe
district to Finland.
It is said even the leaders of the Finland
Activsts, who have been most active fo
peace declare ''if there is no further modifi
cation of Russias terms Finland's only choic
is to go on fighting" They contend that
Russia had offered Finland Viipuri and tn
Salmaa channel, which are regarded as a
economic necessity, lone of the most impo,
tant psychological obstacles to peace woul
be eliminated
Thus peace between Russia and Finlan
appears to be no nearer now than when n,
9otiations first were started.

NATION IS USING
A new EXPLOSIVE
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer

WASHINGTON, April II. - A
newly developed powerful high
explosive that is "better than a
third more explosive than TINT
is now being used effectively in
many types of American aircraft
bombs and in ammunition fo- GER
tain artillery pieces, the Army Ord
nance Department disclosed today
It is 'Petn"-a short cut name
for the chemical term pentaery-
tl1rito tetranitrate. 1t is white,
crystalline material.
The explosive was first develop
ed experimentally during the last
war, but proved to be too sensitive
and too unstable fo- extensive use.
But ordnance officers said today
a technique has been worked out
for combining Petn with TINT -
which is more stable explosive
to make a product more powerful
than TINT alone, but far more sta
BILE and safer to handle than Petn
alone.
They said the combination is be-
ing used ''i1l all general purpose
aircraft bombs and in ammunition
for such armament as the 105 mil
limeter Howitzer, the so-called
work horse of the army -
The explosive, they said, has prov
ed "effective.'
They asserted that the explosive
does not lend itself to use in ar
mor-piercing shells which are de.
signed to make deep penetration in
to an objective before they ex.
plode.
First indication that Petn was
being used in this war came in a
bulletin of the United States Pub

quested the health service to in.

WITH FIFTH ARMY BEACH
HEAD FORCES IN ITALY, (by
wireless) The real drama of this
Anzio beachhead campaign is the
supply system. I'd almost like to
write that sentence tWice--to make
sure you get it. The supplying of
this Fifth Army beachhead has
been one of the superlative chap
tiers of our Mediterranean war.
The beachhead is really like a
little island. Everything has to
come by water. Without a steady
flow of food and ammunition, the
beachhead would perish.
All this concentrate of Smelling
and bombing against the Anzio-
Nettuno area is for the purpose
of hindering our movement of sup
plies. They have hindered it some.
I can't give you the percentage,
but you'd be surprised how low it
really is. They certainly haven't
hindered us enough. For the sup
plies keep coming, and the stock
piles have now grown SO great and
so numerous that we've almost
run out of room for establishing
new dumps.
Many branches of the service
deserve credit for the supply mir
acle--the Navy, the Merchant Ma
rine. the Combat Engineers, the
Quartermaster Corps. And again
let me remind you that the British
are always there, too. You don't
hear much about them from me,
because my job is to write about
the Americans. But in all our AL
lied work down here the British
do their part too (and in case of
shipping to Anzio, the Greeks and
Poles as weld.
American Army Engineers are
in command of all port facilities
at the beachhead.
The city of Anzio is a mess to-
day. Just off the waterfront, there
is absolutely nothing but wreck
age And the wreckage grows day
by day under German Smelling and
bombing. We call Anzio a "poten-
tial Bizerte," for soon it may be
in as complete a state Of wreck
age as was that thoroughly
wrecked city in Tunisia.
Yet our soldiers and sailors con-
tinue to live and work in Anzio.
There isn't man in town who
hasn't had dozens of experiences.
If you try to tell a bomb story,
anybody in Anzio can top it. Cas-
ualties occur daily. But the men
go on and on.
The American soldiers irrepres-
sible sense of humor still displays
itself in Anzio Down on the dock
is a big, boxlike cart in wf1cih
they pick up slop buckets and
trash that gets in the way on the
dock front. The cart is freshly
painted snow-white, and printed in
neat blue letters on each side is
"Anzio Harbor Department of
Sanitation. You'd have to see the
hedlam of wreckage to get the
full irony of the Sanitation" part.
At corner in Anzio some SOL
diers have set up a broken statue
of a woman fhe place is lousy
with statues), and put sign I'm
der it saying, "Anzio Annie" If
somebody would write a poem
about her, she might become as
famous as DIRTY Gertie.'
l noticed another sign--this one
not funny-along the waterfront.
This sign said, mo Parking--for
Ambulances Only"
Everybody jokes about the per-
ilous life in the Anzio-Nettuno
area. I've been with it long enough
myself to appreciate the hurnor of
nervousness. Some people have
had to leave because of nerves
and those who stay like to make
fun OF their own shakes.
The filters are known as "Anzio
anxiety" and "Nettuno neurosis"
