The Government is to work as

In keeping with the custom estab-

1888, the President will start his day
by attending religious services.
Instead of going to- st. Johns
Church, as on previous inaugural
days, however, Mr. Roosevelt, men,

east room of the White House, where
the exercises will be conducted by
the Rev John G. Magee and the
Rev. Howard A. johnson of st

be continuing global shortages Of

Consequently they thought the
boards would continue to find q

The three United Nations leaders

many? While Jordan has some
fresh information, his arguments
were frequently heard in this
country 10 to Is years ago.
Jordan is particularly critical
of the between-wars part played
by France. He charges the French
occupation of the Ruhr in 1928 was
harmful to the young German
democracy. That may be; but it
is incorrect to leave readers with
the impression that Frances posi-
ton was not strictly justified by
the Versailles treaty, and unfair
to condemn the occupation then
but to complain because France
did not fight to stop Hitler's re-
occupation of the Rhineland.
Once upon time Versailles
was deplored as too severe. Jor-
dan still holds that view, though
most people regard that pact as
magnanimous in comparison with
treaties imposed by Germans in
World War l.
Perhaps the least convincing
paragraphs are those which dis

Using His Talents

Talent for music is something that it pays
to cultivate There's no telling when it will
come In handy. Look at Senator Glen Taylor
of Idaho, newly arrived in Washington Tor
the congressional session and with nowhere
to sleep. Surely Senator could find house
or apartment! He couldn't until he put his
talent to working.
He was once a singing cowboy, so ne got
out his banjo, grouped his family around him
on the capitol steps and sang about his plight.
And he received offers of more than Is places
for lodgings in Washington of all places. I'm
til he sang nothing would bring results. Be-
sides being a Snowman, the Senator is a
practical man.

The Germans originally held this
territory. When the Yanks first
drove through here the enemy blew
all the bridges and mined the
terrain. So American engineers re-
built the bridges and cleared the
minefields. Then came the German
counterattack and the Yam k S
blew the bridges behind them and
spread mines. Now the Americans
are on the offensive again and the
retreating Germans again are
blowing the bridges and sowing
mines in the same fields.

Batting 1000

While Speaker Rayburn of the National
House of Representatives begged congress
men, upon start of new session, not to intro
duce any more bills than necessary, the rep
resentatves threw in about 500 on the first
day. Only fraction of these will become law
but it shows how people take advice They
don't
1t is a maxim in police work that the best
officer is not the one who makes the most
arrests. The best officer believes greatly in
preventive measures The best representative
is not the one who fires most bills into the
hopper. The first day is, of course, the big
day, but even if there is a let-up the egisla-
tive machine can't possibly digest all that
material.

The respectable, decent, liberty

an extremely rare bird, is rein
troduced to us by today's author,
Max Jordan. Born of German

Jordan was student in a Ger

The Germans whose names and

Destruction Of Records Offers
Postwar Problem For Holland

Nazis never succeeded again in
assembling trustworthy personnel
records.
For the duration of the war this
was helpful, but in the post-Ibera.
ton period the separation of un.
recorded collaborationists from
patriots will be made difficult.
Another problem raised will be
how to make up voters lists for
elections if and when elections are
possible. The exile government
estimates year or two may
elapse before new registry can
be completed, and it is desirable
that normal government be re-
sumed earlier than that.
The government in London has
assured the Dutch people it will
resign Immediately upon full
liberation. Three cabinet ministers
already back in Holland are care
full not to proclaim themselves a
government. They went in as in
olvldual ministers to supervise
special technical tasks such as
pubic health, education and prep
aratlonS for loan.
Upon the resignation of the hold
over cabinet, Queen Wilhelmina is
expected to appoint an interim
government in which the resist
ahce movement will have import
ant representation. Resistance
leaders to be appointed already
are SAID to be known in London
and their acceptance of cabinet
posts assured.

Double Congratulations

Double congratulations to the North Caro-
lima Shipbuilding company!
First, because in building 60 C-type ships
during 1914, it led the nations shpyards in
production of this highly important type OF
vessel.
Second because of it's gift Of $25, 900 to the
North Carolina Engineering Foundation and
N C. State College,
In delivering the so vessels during the IL
month period, the yard drew the highest praise
sttainable by an American shpbulder. 1t was
from Admiral Land, chairman of the U. S.
Maritime Commission, and he said: Their
record speaks for itself. They are tops Now,
the Admiral is not man of many words SO
when he says one of the yards under his jur-
isdiction is tops you may rest assured it is
a great producer of good ships
This reputation has tangible worth to the
yard and the community.
Admiral Land has warned that future
awards will 60 only to efficient yards in the
commissions plan to bring the vast wartime
shipbuilding program to a gradual halt. This
policy has been already backed up locally
with the North Carolina yard receiving con-
tracts for an additional IS ships. These, to-
gether with those in contracts previously
awarded, bring the total to be delivered in
1915 to more than so. That means operation OF
the yard on its present full-time basis will be
continued through this year. This assures con.
tnuaton of the payrolls whose benefits have
not only been felt in Wilmington but prac-
tically every other community in Southeastern
North Carolina.
Wilmington is mighty proud of the excep-
honally fine record of its shipyard It's grand
feeling to know we are the home of national
Industrial champion because local men and
women have made a great contribution to
this outstanding mark.
This record has been made possible through
the fine cooperation of good management and
labor, working together on one of the most
important tasks of the war. It must not be
marred by outside influences. The schedule
Of ship production must be maintained, there
must be no yapping from the sidelines to dis

the coming year but as long as ships are built

The gift to the Engineering foundation is
but another material illustration of the readi
