Changes In China

.,oer;can pressure has at last succeeded in
torc;no Chang Kai-shek to reshuffle his govern
roent q step obviously long needed if China
is to have winning part in the victory over
the japanese.
Whether the changes will affect the rela-
lions between Chiang's government and the
communists Of north China remains matter
~ ejaculation. If it does there is reason to
think that China's part in the final phase Of
the war in the Orient may be much greater
and more effective than 1t has been in the
recent past.
Whether these communist forces are the type
~ men Chang wishes to have as allies or
mt the fact remains that they are skilled
f;ohters and their cooperation would be OF
great advantage to the Generalissimo in the
reorganized military strength of China.
Tho case is similar to the acceptance Of
Russia as an ally by the United Nations after
Hitler crossed the Russian frontier in violation
If his treaty with Moscow. There was much
in the Russian system of government to which
Great Britain and the United States objected
and still object-but because the Germans
saw fit to draw Russia into the war as an
enemy after pledging that nation their friend
ship London and Washington had the great good
sense to make common cause with Russia
against q common Zoe.
Chang, it would seem, could do no better
than adopt the same policy and so shape
china's course that when the war is ended
the communists OF the north shall noe take
possession OF China. just as Britain and the
United States will see that Russia gains no
authority in Europe in excess of her just
claims.

Hope For Small Business

While the meeting of bankers from the Will
nnington areas at the Country club on Tuesday
night was strictly missionary effort and no
concrete program emerged, it is obvious that
small business men needing capital are . long
step nearer their goal than they have been
during the war period to date.
If there is any shortage Of money Tor them
for the legitimate development Of their under
takings in the near future it will be no fault
of the bankers who are ready to extend credit
over such periods OF time as will enable the
borrower to carry on without fear OF being
closed out before he has had opportunity to
get the machinery Of his project in full oper-
alton and running smoothly.
A definite start was made at this meeting
to protect and aid the little fellow who has
suffered sorely in these last three years. We
may be sure the bankers, not only Of Whining
ton but of the entire region will let nothing
interfere with their plan to give him hi:
chance.
When he has 1t we may be equally sure
the Wilmington area will have its full share
Of postwar prosperity.
Little business is fully as essential to the
commercial welfare of a community, however
large as the largest industry in 1t.

Buy War Bonds Now

| r. is understandable that Walter ]. Cartier
should encourag ingly announce that the Sixth
War Loan campaign has gotten off to an ZEN
thusiastic' start with the sale OF 1880 worth
of bonds in two days. But the fact is that
public enthusiasm has been sadly lacking.
With a. goal Of 81, $780, 900 and less than $l2.'
noo subscribed after 48 hours, it must be &C.
knowledeed that the people Of Wilmington and
New Hanover county have not come across
with any exceptional display OF Interest to
say nothing OF enthusiasm.
MEANWHILE General Eisenhower has let 1t
be known that the battle on the Western front
mas been slowed down because ammunition
supplies have been inadequate and that ms
armies are now using ammunition that should
he in storage for later firing 1t Is fuIe TO
blame this shortage solely on workers IN am
r1unition factories. Rather is it typical OF the
general let-down in war interest all along the
line on the home front. Ever since the break
through in Normandy the people OF the United
States have been so sure Of victory that they
have eased off in all their war-associated &C
tivities.
Right now we are given a demonstration OF
this in the small purchases OF war bonds,
when less than a third Of per cent Of our
quota has been sold.
Are we, for the first time in our long record
Ct achievement in bond campaigns, to fall
down, and let the boys who are standing the
5runt OF the fight in the cold and snow and
suffering and death on the Western front know
that we are content to hold out on them,
when bond sales have such an important part
in giving them the victory?
Unless there is tremendous and immediate
ouickening of bond purchases, from the wealth
lest to the poorest citizen, we will not fill our
quota
It is not good reasoning to claim that the
campaign is just getting under way. Every
day that passes brings the closing hour that
much nearer. The longer we delay, the more
difficult will it be for us to catch up.
We will never forgive ourselves, nor will
our own boys at the front readily forgive us,
if we fail to pass our quota.

Don't Overlook Russia

American interest Of late has conferred 50
strongly in the success Of our arms in Europe
and the splendid exploits OF our naval forces
and General MacArthur's soldiers in the Pa
cjfic there has been unjustifiable public indif.
ference to the fighting and the victories OF
Russian arms along the Eastern front.
The Russians may have exaggerated the i'm
portance OF their gains in certain instances,
the claim Of villages towns and cities recap
tured may not have been as vital to ultimate
oefeat OF the enemy as the mere numbers sug-
gest, but the fact is indsputable that this
European war would be long-drawn-ou out con-
tlict were it not that the Germans are having
to fight on two main fronts and 80 cannot
concentrate their entire strength on one front
alone.
The battle in Italy, where the enemy has
to deal with only one combination Of forces,
furnishes fair example Of what would be
doing II similar situation existed in the rest
Of Europe. Hitler made one Of his sravest
blunders when he drew Russia into the conflict
and prepared the way for a two-front war,
something he declared he would never do and
something he obviously had no intention OF

wipe our Russian resistance speedily, seize
Russia's oil and hold trust with Hirohito in
India before Britain and the United States
could get started. This blunder will play ar
important part in his defeat, as the big three

Jap-American Soldiers
Suffer 263 Casualties

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Rt-
A total of 1853 casualties among
Japanese-American service men
has been reported to next of kin
in relocation camps. the War Re-
location Authority announced to-
day.
OF these So were killed, 1877
wounded and six are missing.
In recent heavy fighting on the
Western Front, 20 Nisei were kill
ed in action and SO were wounded.
WRA said the actual total of bat
tie losses among Japanese-Ameri-
cans is larger than the casualty
notices would indicate, since about
one-third of the original evacuees
have left the relocation camps
and several thousand Japanese
descended citizens never have
been in the center.

Daily Prayer
FOR THANKFUL HEARTS

How can we give thanks, o
Lord, when the world is drenched
in blood and washed with tears;
when grief sits at millions of fire
sides, and hunger stalks the earth?
We are too closely bound up in
the bundle of life with all h e
world to be selfishly thankful for
our own peculiar exemptions and
bounties. We would not mock the
sorrows OF our fellow men by our
own rejoicings. Yet we may be
grateful that Thou are dealing
drastically with the human race,
teaching mankind with thorns the
great lessons of Thy will. At ter
rible cost Thou art uniting all the
peoples of earth into unity; and
by wars red scythe Thou art clear
ing path of peace for all mems
bstterment. Thou art teaching men
how to live heroically and vica-
rlously; and Thou art lifting aloft
anew the shining standards of
brotherhood, and liberty and JUS
tee. For this. our hearts render TO
Thee hearty thanks. Even more do
we thank Thee for Thyself, Lord
over ali, blessed forever. Thy ways
are not our ways, nor Thy thoughts
our thoughts; but we rest in the
assurance that thew are the ways
and THOUGHTS of owing Father.
Amen.-W, T. f.

An Old Friend Promoted

General Raymond A. Wheeler's appointment
as successor to General stilwen in the Orient
Is Of especial interest to Wilnaingtonians who
knew him well and learned to esteem him
both as friend and engineer during the time
be served as district engineer in this area.
He was Major Wheeler then, and was sta
toned here from October 1880 to September
1888, during which time the North Carolina
link Of the Inland Waterway was completed
and the South Carolina section started.
Now he is deputy commander Of the Allied
Southeast Asia command under Admiral Lord
Louis Mountbatten, and will continue to serve
rs chief administrative officer the post he held
before General StilWelrs recall, in addition to
his new duties which will include the handling
Of lend-lease to all Allies in the southeast
Asiatic theater Of war.
General Wheeler, between the first and sec.
cnd World wars, worked on rivers and harbors
projects in this country and Panama, and left
the United States In 1s41 to push supplies to
Russia and China by way Of Iraq, Iran and
India.
He is the second military engineer serving
at one time or another in this district to rise
to prominence In this war; the other beinp

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

The basic idea behind Thanksgiving
Is good. Gratitude is virtue. pleasing to
God and pleasant to know among men. The
saints have ever been thankful. The men
of the Bible were filled with deep spirit
of thankfulness, sincere, tender, and touch"
ed with emotion. They thanked God fre-
quently, volubly and loudly. They could
not be quiet. They would get Gods ear.
and they would make Him understand now
thankful they were. In the new Testament
Paul is possessed with the spirit OF grati-
tude. He took time out from his pro-
digious labors to catch up on his thanks
giving.-A. w. Tozer in "The Kings busl-
ness.
