Ships In Rice Fields

The abandoned rice fields along the Bruins
wick river nave been an eyesore tor many
year. Now they are to provide moorings
for tied-up cargo ships.
Following visit by Vice Admiral H. l..
Vickery, vice chairman of the Maritime Com
mission, Captain T. L. Schuma cher, his naval
aide and members of his staff on Friday
and an inspection of tributary waters of the
Cape Fear, the North Carolina Shipbuilding
Company is to advertise for bids for dredging
the area between the confluence of the Bruins
wick river with the Cape Fear northward to
the bridge on Highway No. II and a channel
which will clear Libertys and the other types
of ships the Maritime Commission intends to
give a home in this vicinity.
The contemplated storage basin will be well
come, not only because moored ships are
more attractive than marsh grass but also
because the project means employment for
many workers during dredging operations, but
skeleton maintenance crews besides, and re-
QUires a drydock which will not only service
1aid-up ships but the cargo carriers that will
be coming into the port as Wilmington COM
merce increases.
The undertaking is in line with the develop
ment of this city and port in the postwar
period.

gaining power in order to achieve
gains or avoid losses before that
wartime bargaining power de.
clines. This accounts also, oil
course, for the attitude of employ
ers - which is in substance that
they must not and need not make
bad bargains now since they will
be able to make better bargains
later on. For little later on, there
will be more men than there are
jos, and there will also be no
more price ceilings.
Thus labor is in much more of
hurry than is capital to make
settlements governing the postwar
conditions of employment. That be-
ing the case, important and useful
as it is to improve the machinery
Of collective bargaining, it is nee
essary that the underlying bargain
ing position which is the real
problem-be openly examined and
understood. For while understand
ing will not in itself solve the prob
lem or remove it, it will assuage
it. It will enable the people who
are most disinterested, who are not
suffering from class blindness and
are not ridden by their resent
ments, to maintain decent public
temper during the change, which is
Inevitable and disturbing, after the
abnormality of war.
We must recognize, it seems to
me, that we must pass through a
troubled period while the bargain
ing position changes until We reach
new equilibrium. Our problem
is to find an equilibrium at which
there is neither the excessive en-
ployment of wartime nor mass I'M
employment.
This, if it were properly PRIV
sented by its supporters and cor
rectly understood, is the real pur-
pose of the full employment bill.
1t is not easy to find that middle
ground of equilibrium. But there
can be little doubt that we have
an Infinitely better chance of find
ing it if, using the facilities of the
bill, we learn to estimate, and by
hecking them with events grad
ually to prove our estimates of
whether there is likely to be an
inflated and excessive or deflat-
ed and deficient demand for goods
and for labor.

ARMISTICE, 1918
CALLED TO MIND
BY CAROL L. KELLY

A great wave of JOY rolled over
the city in which I was visiting
when the Armistice was heralded
all over the world. Here, as else
where, and in many places, bells
and motor-horns dimmed the ear;
people shouting with frenzied joy;
torn newspapers and ticker-tapes
from windows on both high and
low building. Happiness crept into
every nook and corner, and filled
the hearts of many people.
Before long how it was done
remains miracle there gathered
crowds on the sidewalks to view
the parade, with every conceivable
makeup, led by a drum major in
all his regalia. Trumpets, drums
and horns blasted their way down
the street, and the marchers made
up of men, women and children,
carrying flags and rapidly con-
structed signs bearing the word
"Armistice" and other appropriate
expressions made to fit the happy
occasion.
Now, the buildings suddenly be.

bunging, and from every window,
