Time To Get In The Game

Among the more ominous decisions in con-
necton with the brave new world after peace
which must be dispelled is that it may be
possible to create millennial situation in
which all peoples and nations will deal with
each other on wholly frank and equitable
basis. The country that is foolish enough ia
mold this view is destined to lose its birth.

posing corrective legislation. They are seek
ing sane, unified system of regulation de-
signed to encourage the growth of civil avl'
alton and make secure for this country our
position as the worlds number one airpower.
The time has arrived when legislative
bodies, state and federal must look to the
requirements of an industry unique in the
history of mankind. In some respects there
are no precedents by which to establish rules
governing its operation; the speed alone OF
a modern airliner presents certain problems
unknown to land transport or to ships upon
the sea. The rules under which the airlines
will live and grow. carrying the nag OF the
United States to every corner OF the earth,
must be formulated fairly and promptly.

Lend-Lease Inventory

The suggestion of Reps. Karl E. Mundt of
South Dakota and James P. Richards of South
Carolina. now in London for the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, that an inventory OF Lend
Lease be taken Immediately upon the surren-
der of Germany is well advised.
If it is taken them the figures will be of
great value for determining what deductions
NAV be made and where deliveries may be
curtailed or halted and what types Of goods
should be continued to be shipped in the in
terest of speeding recovery.
While Lend-Lease has seemed to be the
best means available for fitting out our Al
lies for victory, the cost has been heavy and
must be borne by American taxpayers for
many years to come. There can be no rea-
sonable excuse to continue this drain one min
ute longer than actual need exists.
BY taking stock when the fighting ceases
in Europe the nation will be in advantageous
position not only to trim the cost but see
what more can be done about repayment by
beneficiary nations, which was contemplated
when Lend-Lease was instituted.

Shipbuilding To Go On

Announcement by the North Carolina Ship
building Company that its present contracts
assure another years operations is not only
heartening but timely in that it should bring
an end to the idle runors that have been
travelling up and down the town in recent
months that operations at the yard would come
to an end with Hitlers defeat.
1t has frequently been heard within a week
that no hammer or other tool used in man.
ufacturing ships would be heard after the
first of November. Now it is made clear by
the companys own statement that there has
been no iota of truth in any of the gossip
The war in the Orient, says Undersecretary
of the Navy Ralph A. Bard, will require a
great number of cargo ships OF the AKA type
now under construction at h e Wilmington
yard. Instead Of making any reduction in the
Nays program it is the intention to increase
production that the defeat Of Japan may
be speeded up through deliveries Of supplies,
munitions, war tools and men in greater guam
titles.
In order to assure victory in the Far East
In the least possible time ships must be avail
able. Having completed the bridge of ships
across the Atlantic called for by President
Roosevelt when the Axis started out to con-
quer the world it now becomes necessary to
build similar bridge across the Pacific The
job can be done quickly only with shipyards
working on Navy contracts expanding, rather
than reducing or slowing down production
The shpyard's announcement ought to serve
to stop unfounded rumors in the community
not only concerning ship building but all other
actual or contemplated activities. The people
have been urged to refrain from spreading
reports of war and defense conditions lest
the enemy gain valuable information. It is
quite as essential also to refrain from gossip
about non-military affairs if only to prevent
creating false impressions as to the area
postwar possibilities of development and i'm
provement.

Rules For The Air

Rapid expansion of airline service from a
