 was no Germany until Bismarck's time, say 75 years ago, and 1t takes time for a people to develop a stable political organization.
 England has had 1000 years. France, Holland, Sweden, Switzer- land-all have had centuries.
 The United States, beginning as British colonies, carried on with British experience and tradition, educating immigrants (including those from Germany in the art of self government.
 Since England, France and the United States still have more than little trouble with problems of government after all these centu- ries of experience, is 1t strange that Germany, confronted with the al- most unbearable economic distress of the postwar years, made the mistake of supporting the wrong man and his Nazis?
 What should be done with con- quered Germany?
 Since 1t is not only Germany, but all of Europe which suffers from economic disunity, the real question is what to do with Europe.
 Loss of many, many thousands of American lives il two World Wars makes this an American question of the first lmportance-particu- larly as next time the bombs al- most certainly will begin falling on us.
 First of all, suppose some other nation conquered us and placed an army of occupation in this coun- >y to keep us in submission. l think the result would be that ev- cry American boy and girl would grow up hating that nation and determined to exterminate it at the first opportunity. Something of the sort happened when England undertook to police Ireland. Let us not repeat that mistake.
 The best solution, 1t seems to me, would be. for one nation, perhaps England or France, to propose a customs union with any and all other nations interested in parti- cipating. There should be dOcu- ment not unlike the American Con- stitution, providing as 1t does, that there shall be no tariffs between member states (nations).
 Such union would meet violent opposition from, for example, a French manufacturer of steel who might have to reduce his price In order to meet British competition -h,lt fl wOuld mean reduced cost

NEW CENSUS IN CITY
FAVORED BY GROUP

substantially greater number had
to be counted, the cost would pos
sibly be at least $6,000.00.
"When this information was de-
veloped, the city officials realized
that there was not and is not suf-
ficient available funds in the cur
rent budget which can be properly
or lawfully used for the purpose
of taking a census.
1.-THE city must operate upon a
fixed budget which is made as OF
July 1st for each fiscal year. The
law requires the city to operate
upon and within its budget. All
of the money is set up and approp-
rated. to the several departments
of the city and for specific pur-
poses except two funds. One is
known as the advertising fund and
the other as the contingent and
emergency fund.
Expenditures from and com
mitments made against the adver-
Using fund are sufficient to take
all of this fund.
Expenditures from and com
mitments against the conti~&snt
and emergency fund which is in
the sum of $4,000 will approx.
mate $4,000 leaving only about
$4,000 for contingent and emer.
gency expenses for the remaining
six months of the fiscal year. This
fund in the present budget is $l0,.
900 less than for the past year and
in the recent years. The City Of
Wilmington. like o,her business
enterprises is operating under con-
stantly increasing costs and the
city officials deem it in the public
interest to curtail wherever pos
sible the expenditures for the cur
rent year and accordingly reduced
this fund from 100000 to $4,000.
Shortly after the beginning Of
the present fiscal year, the city
regarded it as desirable and neces-
sary to acquire one-half interest
of the county in the Woodrow
Wilson Hut and renovate that
building so that it would be more
useful and profitable to the city
The expenditures required for this
purpose and the other usual ex
penditures from the contingen
fund resulted in the expenditure!
and contingents of $4,000 as above
stated.
"In the making of the curren
budget, not only were the city Off
Gals faced with rising operativ.
costs, the need to provide fund.-

FREAK ACCIDENT
NEAR GREENFIELD
SHAKES UP Cable

Rupert Orren Jernigan, Whining
ton was reported 'just bit shak-
en- up" after freak accident
which occurred at o'clock yester-
day just outside city limits at
Greenfield creek.
Jernigan who was repeatedly op-
Grating a cab for Wilmington Cab
Co. told members of the highway
patrol that his vehicle was travel
ing at low rate of speed when his
car left the road, mounted a tree
measuring six inches through at the
base, was stopped by another tree
landing with the rear of the car
up the tree and the front begged
in the mire of the creek as he at
tempted to make the curve, inward

Spectators were unable to ex-

Estimated damage to the vehi-

man, DR.. W. Houston Moore, W.
A. Fonvielle, A. c. Nichols, city
manager and Mayor w. Ronald
Lane, is scheduled to make a de-
cision on zones to be adopted at
a meeting which will be held next
month.
The matter Of a location for the
proposed community building was
also discussed by members of the
planning board.
The Marine hospital site which
has been suggested was given
thumbs down by the group except
by manager Nichols and J. Fred
Rippy, executive assistant. They
contend that the suggested site is
ideal for several reasons, one be-
ing that the property is already
owned by the city and that site
will furnish ample room for park
ing lots.
The opposing factions set forth
that the Old Marine site is too
far out and that the buildings, if
located at that point, would be
used too infrequently to justify
the cost involved.
These opinions were clearly
labeled "personal' at the meeting
and it was voted that the group
arrange to be present at the Jan
uary meeting of the city council
when this matter is expected to
be settled.

US0 AID SERVICE
TO CLOSE DEC. 81

After three years of operation,
the USO Travellers Aid Service
in Wilmington is closing December
81, it was announced today by Mrs.
Herbert Bluethergthal. chairman
of the operating committee.
1.-The ending Of the war Sas
gradually decreased the need for
this emergency war service, so
that it will now be possible for the
Travellers Aid Society OF Whining
ton to resume responsibility for
travellers who need assistance while
in this city," Mrs. Bluethenthal
said.
Out of total of 425,000 strangers
coming to Wilmington during the
years of hostilities, more than 800
600 services were given to mill
tarv and war allied persons by the
USO Travellers Aid. The others
were aided by the Travellers Aid
Society.
Mrs. Josephine H. Burns, direct
or, will leave soon for another
post in the Travellers Aid program.
In speaking of her work, Mrs:
Bluethenthal said, "Our contact
with USO Travellers Aid has given
us much insight into the problems
of moving people and this interest
will continue.
The USO Travellers Aid has been
assisted in its years of service by
27 volunteers who will not lose
their interest in contributing their
services to community projects.
Many of them have already affillat,
ed themselves with local social
welfare activities.
Although the USO Travellers Aid
in Wilmington is closing, there are
121 UsO Travellers Aid Service
Units. 90 Travellers Aid Societies
and 145 Lounges now operating IN
other cities throughout the coun-
try.

the cities and communities of the
states to Great injury, for which
they will have no redress in the
event the Commissions orders
should finally be held invalid and

The order stated that "the in.
creased charges on shipments Of

to industry of shipping and receiv'
ing their products, will increase
the cost of products to consumers,
will discourage production and
conversion to peacetime operation,

Greater disturbance and con-

sshould thereafter be held to be in
