Reverse The Roles


At the dictation of its leaders union labor
Is striking at pace that cannot fail to create
serious sense Of alarm among all Ameri.
cans who recognize the importance of indus
trial reconversion and return to peacetime
employment and production.
What would happen, do you suppose, it cap
ital struck against labor?
Thus far it has been one-sided procedure,
Is there any good reason why it shouldn't be
two.sided?
Surely capital has as much reason to be
dissatisfied with labor as labor has with capi.
tai.
Suppose all employers, great and small,
shut up shop, and told their workers to go
hang. Suppose the roles of employer and
worker were reversed. How would labor like
that? And what could labor do about it?
The proposition sounds preposterous, natur-
oily, but chiefly, we think because it has not
been done, It might be the best way after all
to stop the present strike epidemic.

The Concert Drive

The Wilmington Community Concert Asso,
citation will not start its campaign for new
patrons until next week. But this week will
be devoted to contracting last years patrons
and offering them the first opportunity to re-.
new their membership before the general
drive opens.
It would be we'll for old members to give
their renewals promptly, if they wish to enjoy
the programs to be offered during the coming
winter, lest if they delay they find the house
sold out and so miss the citys chief musical
entertainment.
The difficulty in recent years has been to
accommodate applicants for membership. The
situation will not be materially different dur
ing this campaign. Late applicants may find
their only chance to attend performances will
depend upon last-minute cancellations, and
this is never satisfactory.
When you receive phone call offering to
hold tickets for you for brief time wisdom
will lie in saying "yes'' forthwith Otherwise
you probably will miss out entirely.

Chance For Air Service

With Bluenthenthal air base placed on the
inactive list by the Army Air Corps, pending
study of its facilities for future Army use,
and assurance from the War Department that
no objection remains to commercial use Of the
field, the time is ripe for an all-out campaign
to place the field on civilian a.rways maps,
that Wilmington may have the service it has
long been promised.
A Wilmington delegation is expected to be
in Washington for conferences with officials
on Wednesday to press for clearance OF Ma.
ti>n1al Air Lines application to serve both Will
mington and New Bern, which has been pend
ing long time. The matter is OF suca vital
Importance in the development OF southeastern
North Carolina that not only Representatives
Barden and Clark owe it to their constituan-
cies to be present, but other members OF the
North Carolina congressional delegation, in.
cluding Senators Bailey and Hoey.
Heretofore there has been hitch in the
National Air Lines proposal because of diff
culties at Norfolk. But these troubles are ex-
pected to be disposed Of this week. With them
out of the way and with the Congressional
delegation backing up local effort both in Will
mington and New Bern the delays that have
had to be endured in the past should now
quickly come to an end

ABOmb Reflection

We are not, likely to hear the end of the
controversy over the atomic bomb any time
soon, but we might meet our end by it, it
some plan for its universal control is not de-
veloped or its use is outlawed and such a supply
kept on hand that no power would dare employ
it.
Howard Blakeslee, science editor of the
Associated Press, in an address at Nashville
recently, declared that ''by using more bombs,
larger bombs, and more efficient bombs it
win be possible in the near future to COM
pletely destroy the bulk of the population, in
dustry and military strength of any nation
within few days." Moreover, aviation and
rocket Developments might enable this to be

able to assemble it.
Research workers generally, he added. be
lieve the best way Of guarding this nation
against a sudden and overwhelming atomic
bomb attack is not to be found simply in the
development of more and better bombs. "The
future course that most of these men favor
is some plan for single world control"
This war was fought without poison gas
simply because the aggressor nations knew
the Allies were prepared to outgas them it they
resorted to it. It would seem that the same
reason, if carried out as preparations for chem.
ical warfare were carried out, could prevent
the use of atomic bombs in another war.
It would be better still to find the difficult
way to world peace. Then atomic energy
might be devoted entirely to the needs OF
industry.

Mr.. Elliott became a special attorney fo1

1t was not until the fiftiet;1 year of his

health led him to seek retirement, to the
regret of his associates in the railroad world

to the Coast Line. It is the earnest wish OF
Wilmingtonians that his release from execu-
tive responsibilities will bring marked i'm

The Doctor Says
REST AND HOBBY
COMBAT TENSION

BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, ND.
Nervous tension results in irri,
liability and contracted muscles
These are warnings to change our
way Of life and learn how to re-.
lax. When we are tense, our eff,
cheney goes down and we may be-
come i'll. One of Americas great.
est surgeons accomplished the su.
perhuman task of directing a large
organization by learning how to re.
lax. To be certain that he was not
overriding, he took nap every
day after lunch; this broke the
tension for the day and enabled
him to carry his heavy responsi,
bility.
A great many people find their
jobs disagreeable; although they
realize they have to carry out taeir
assignments. friction and tension
reduce their efficiency. If your job
is beyond your ability, you had
better admit it and try to find the
kind of work you can do best.
Some people never learn the i'm.
portance of rest. Our country has
many places where we can enjoy
ourselves through physical activ-
ity, but few where we can rest.
Nervous tension often results in
chronic fatigue. A good nights
sleep is the best cure for irritabil.
ity and contracted muscles from
over : attention to our work. Stu.
dents do better in school when
they do not burn the midnight oil
too late.
Sedentary workers need physical
activity to relieve their tension.
Millions have found the victory
garden an ideal place in which to
relax even though care of the plot
required a certain amount of ply
sical activity. 1t is to be regretted
that many who learned to relax in
this way will give up the idea as
soon as the pressure is off to pro-
duce more food: Exercise is not a
cure all for nervous tensions, as
any diversion which takes us away
from ourselves is helpful. Even
though women are supposed to be
more nervous and high-strung than
men, the latter suffer more from
the effects of tension than do Worn-
en-. High blood pressure is prob.
ably related to tension and con-
flicts in our daily lives and it is
more serious in men than in WON.
en-.
Learn to overcome your nervous
tension by directing your activities
into other channels. A man with
a hobby is happier ana more eff
ficient than one whose only intM-
est is his work or one who never
takes a vacation. There isn't one
job in million which is interest
ing enough to occupy all of our
time and attention. Those who have
never learned to occupy their free
time with interesting things actual
ly suffer from greater tension
when they are away from their
job, than when they are working.
Get a good nights sleep every
night. Take nap at the noon
hour if you feel like it. Take a va
cation once a year or oftener if
necessary. Cultivate hobby. Do
something every day which differs
radically from your regular job.

Japan And Seattle

1t was back in the COS that japanese ships
began to use Seattle. The Great Northern
Railway has recently been completed. The
Alaskan gold strike was at the height. The
great forests of the northwest were being felled.
Mills were turning out lumber in unprece.
dented quantities. The grain OF Minnesota was
pouring into the city by the trainload.
And Japanese cargo ships were on hand to
fill their holds with loads that sunk them low
in the water. Everybody sang the praises Of
the enterprising japanese who were building
up such great cargo fleet to keep incoming
freight on the move to the Orient

arm welcome they received at Seattle. be-
cause San Francisco was an old and estab-
hshed port with no particular need for more
ships, and SO the Jap bottoms were classed as
tramps, picking up what cargo thew could and
moving elsewhere to complete loading. There
was no Port Los Angeles at that time and
San Diego was out Of the reckoning.

the chief place of manufacture OF the Super.
fortress, the great B-29's that wrought such
havoc in Japan itself and destroyed so much
OF Japan's shipping, when the time came to
knock the yellow peril through the ropes.
The Japanese shipping that prospered so
greatly when Seattle was young was not OF

camille operations, but it played part in
raising Japan to its prewar prominence in
world commerce. Now there are not more
than thlrty-five ships left in the japanese mer-
camille fleet, and few Of these are more than
five hundred tons.
Seattle helped Japan rise to power in the
Pacific. 1t also did its full share in reducing
Japan to the fourth rank among nations.

by WALTER LIPPMANN

, mar1c technlclanS" are to apply
their talents.
When we remember that this
was the first postwar diplomatic
conference, the list of subjects dis.
cussed is grotesque. Bulgarian and
Romanian elections, the miserable
Italian colonies: how could any one
imagine that these were subjects
worth quarreling about four weeks?
No doubt we were badly pre-.
pared to discuss these questions.
But what was infinitely worse was
that we let them be the main ques-
tions to be discussed. That as
where Mr.. Molotov found the OPEN
ing, and then ran with the ball
through the broken field of the
western nations.
He discovered at Potsdam that
Britain, France and the United
States had no views on the Ger
man settlement which they were
prepared to insist upon, and so he
fixed the eastern frontier of Ger
many while they neglected to fix
the western frontier. He then
discovered that they were more
interested in arguing about democ-
racy behind the lines of the Red
Army than in reinforcing democ-
racy within their own lines. So
the Balkan settlement was given
precedence over the European set
tlement. Yet in fact there can
be no Balkan settlement except
a Russian settlement until there is
European settlement.
A European settlement is one
which determines the position of
the principal European powers and
their relationship - namely Bri
tain, France, Germany, Italy, as
well as Poland and Russia. AS
things stand now only the position
Of Russia and Poland in relati
to- eastern Germany is fixed. The
position of the western countries
as regards Germany, and their re-
lations among themselves, are en-
tirely unfixed. Until this vacuum
is filled, it is cardinal error OF
judgment to focus our attention On
the Balkans and eastern Europe,
and to chase such red herrings as
the disposition of Italian colonies in
Africa.

BY WALTER LIPPMANN

There is much to be learned
from the London meeting, and for
tunately the President and Secre.
tary Byrnes are still free t. analyze
the result without having to defend
it. The fact is that they inherited
the difficulties, and the worst that
can be said in criticism of them is
that they did not see in advance
that they had been handed bad
case which was badly prepared.
At Potsdam and at London Mr.
Byrnes has been like lawyer who
had to argue ten separate cases in
the Supreme Court on the basis
OF briefs which were written in 9th.
er law offices than his own, which
in fact he had scarcely had time to
read on his way to the court room.

velts death. The departra ent, new.
er very strong. had been deteri-
Grating at an appalling rate dur
ing the months wher Mr.. Roose
velt's health was failing. The
amiable notion that Mr.. StettiniLs
at San Francisco had to have the
title of Secretary of State, though
he was not performing the func-
tions Of the office, meant that q
demoralized State Department was
marking time during the crucial
period between the German sur
render and the events which led
to the Japanese surrender.
No one was forming and direct.
ing foreign policy. Mr.. Byrnes had
scarcely had time to find out where
he was supposed to hang his hat
in the State Department when he
had to a kteoff for Potsdam and
had to take off for Potsdam and
not a plan of the settlement but
an assortment of ambiguous pre-.
vious commitments, trunk full
of memoranda, and a list Of bold
little attitudes taken in this or
that odd corner of the globe on the
mornings when some one down the
official line felt it was time to be
tough. or perhaps time to stand
up for American ideals. There was
no considered view Of which sub.
ject came first and which second,
which were urgent and which could
wait. No wonder that at Potsdam
and at London the Russians deter
mined the order of business, com.
pelling us to deal with the questions
that most interested them while
we were fobbed off from dealing
with the questions that should most
have interested us.
Mr.. Sumner Welles said the
other day that ''the technical
preparation for this all-important
peace conference was entrusted to
officials who have proved them.
selves grossly incompetent" There
is no denying that the technical
preparation was bad, and that the
meeting should not have been held
unless and until the diplomatic
technicians'' had gotten prior
agreement upon the agenda and
upon procedure, and "the par
ticipating governments fully knew
each others views concerning the
subject matter to be negotiated"
Yet, granting all this, I would
suggest that the deepest trouble
was not bad diplomatic technique
but bad political judgment as to
what subjects ought to be negoti-
ated. OF course, the peace settle
ment needs good diplomatic tech
nicians. But diplomatic techni-
clans, however good, will never
make a peace settlement. That
requires craftsmanship, which in
the first instance means a right
judgment in the choice of the sub
ject matter to which the "diplo-
