Money For Plants

The campaign which has recently been in
progress to put Wilmington capital at work
for expansion Of the city's industrial resources
took definite form on Friday with the organ
ization of $500, 900 corporation The purpose
is to employ this fund in erecting plants for
industries which seek to locate here but can
find no suitable building. Several firms are
said to be already in this category.
With money available for plant construction
it is reasonable to assume that they will be
in production as soon as materials are avail
able and the needed buildings can be erected.
While this capital will not be directly in
volved in industrial output, it certainly will
play an important part in Wilnington's de-
veloping industry and so add to the city S
postwar prosperity.
1t is exlained no privileges will be extended
to new firms not enjoyed by industries now
here and that beyond receiving financial aid
for construction their operation will be under
complete jurisdiction of the management. This
is essential for the protection and encourage
ment Of existing industries which have built
up their own business at their own expense
and by their own efforts.
This initial step in improving the city's in
dustrial outlook promises much for Whining
tons future.

Editorial Comment
TRUMAN MAKES GOOD CHOICES


President Truman in accepting the resigna-
tons of Attorney General Francis Biddle, La
Dor Secretary Frances Perkins, and Secretary
of Agriculture Claude Wickard and replacing
them with nominees of his own has effected a
Cabinet shuttle of major proportions.
In selecting nominees for the Cabinet posts
Mr.. Truman seems to have found men who
are. particularly well fitted for the tasks they
are to perform, although their names are not
as familiar to the American public in general
as some Of those who had been suggested for
the posts in previous press speculation.
Judge Lewis B. Schwellenbach, named for
the Labor portfolio, has established an excel
lent record as liberal and friend of labor in
his career as Senator and Federal Judge.
Tom Clark, nominee for Attorney General,
has served as Assistant Attorney General I'M
der Mr.. Biddle and is known as an exceptional
ly able and courageous lawyer and public Of
fetal. 49,
Representative Clinton B. Anderson, of New
Mexico, slated to succeed Mr.. Wickard as
head of the Department of Agriculture and
also take over the duties of Marvin Jones as
Food Administrator after June 80, is head OF
the House Food Committee which has engaged
in thoroughgoing study OF national food pro-
duction and distribution, maxim several i'm
portant recommendations looking to the i'm
provement and streamlining of this program.
These men will bring new blood, ideas and
energies into the Cabinet, but their selection
does not appear to signify any basic changes
in Administration policies. - Winston-Salem
Journal.

Longest Pipeline

With completion of the last 400-nile lap by
American engineers, oil and gasoline is now
running into China from Calcutta through the
longest pipeline in the world. For security
reasons neihtre the total mileage nor the
China terminus is revealed. But it is an
nounced that more precious fuel is flowing
through the line than could be trucked in ove-
the Stilwen road or flown in by plane.
Soldiers from Texas, Louisiana and Okla
home who know about pipeline construction
because Of their work at home were used by
engineers, with the result that the job was
finished with dispatch and seemingly impas-
sable obstacles were oversome. They con-
Quered mountain passes 5000 feet high and
OWeated through Burma's jungles. One I'M
usual feature Is that the line is portable.
What this service will mean in the final
campaign against Japan on Asas mainland
is obvious. Allied mechanical equipment and
air forces will have an adequate supply of
both oil and fuel With the Bo-neo oil fields
conquered and supplying Alliel forces the
dornestric petroleum situation also will be
greatly improved.

War Criminal Indictments

The United States has ploposed that war
criminals be tried before an international mill
tary court Some of the United Nations op-
pose this plan. The British, for example
favor an agreement to punish German war
criminals through treaty decisions of the Unit
q Nations concerned.
Y,e result is that trials for the men who are
chiefly responsible for throwing the world
into war and for the atrocities that have shock
ed civilization as nothing else has ever done
are delayed When they will start is any
body's guess, but one American optimist in
high position thinks an agreement will be
reached at least without the proverbial law S
delays
The trials, however, cannot be started, as

Why We Fight

The United States ambassador, Spruille
Braden has arrived in Buenos Aires. He was
no more than settled min the Argentine capital
ference. During the interview he took pains
to explain that the United States recognized
the government Of General Farrell through
necessity only and not from choice. The Unit
ed States, he declared has no sympathy with
the regime that rose from revolution and rules
without consent of the people.
reported asked what he thought of runo~s
that this nation and Great Britain were pleased
to deal with Farrell, on the grounds that they
could obtain more from dictator regime than
from democracy, Mr.. Braden replied: 1.-The
rumor is absolutely false. We are fighting
we say we are fighting for democracy we mean
exactly what we say. We would like to see
democratic governments established every
where
Mr.. Braden ran off the track when he voiced
this opinion. We are not fighting for de-
macracy throughout the world. Neither
would we like to see democracy established
everywhere. We are fighting for our de-
mocracy, and for the survival of democracy
in all lands where it is the choice of people.
This is very different from fighting for de-
mocracy or insisting that any nation adopt
democracy that does not want it for itself
Fundamentally we are fighting for self de-
termination, by which exploited peoples may
attain the right to rult themselves.

ATC Planning Atlantic
Hop Every Sir Minutes

WASHINGTON. May rs. - R) =
The Army's Air Transport Com
mand expects to have one flight
over the Atlantic every six min.
utes when the air ferrying of troops
from Europe to the United States
reaches it's peak.
The ATC disclosed this today
and also reported that the flight
of tactical planes, such as bonn
bers, from Europe will be stepped
up to between 100 and 1875 daily.
The tactical planes are being
flown over the north and south At
lantic by the crews that manned
them in combat. ..t
The ATC hopes to return $4,000
soldiers a month by air when re-
deployment hits full stride. These
men, some of whom already have
made the crossing, possess special
skills or are coming back for dis
charge from the Army. ~

RANKIN PLANNING
DRIVE FOR BONUS

WASHINGTON, May 20 up -
Chairman Rankin ID. -Miss.) of the
House veterans committee sought
White House blessing today for an
about drive for a bonus for serv-
ice men.
Rankin, co-author of the G. I.
bill of rights and of legislation
that raised the monthly pay OF
enlisted men from Sci to $50 a
month"; wants Congress to vote a
$1,O40 bonus to every service
man and woman who has been in
uniform lat least 80 days and hasn't
been dishonorably discharged.
'"The time to give it to them is
now, while many are being de-
modified" she said in an interview
during which he disclosed that he
has sought the views of President
Truman on the whole subject.
The Mississippian said he was
enclosing, in letter to the Presi'
dent, a copy of a bill he introduced
on May 2 and which he wants en-
acted into law without too much
delay
81 have asked the President te
state his views on the bill and or
the subject generally" he added
Just how soon he will ask the
veterans committee to begin con
sheraton of the legislation will
depend, Rankin said, on how soor
the President communicates his
views.
But the White-maned southe-nel
made it plain that he does not in
tend to wait until the Ways ane
Means Committee starts consid
ering another bonus bill calling fol-
a maximum payment. Of $1,000 tt
overseas veterans and $4,000 tt

Uniform Divorce Laws

Within the present decade the Supreme
Court of the United States ruled that citizens
of one state may establish legal residence in
another for the purpose Of securing divorce.
Now the same court upholds the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court in it's decision that a six
week residence in Nevada does not constitute
legal domicie and that divorce obtained I'M
der the Nevada law cannot be recognized in
this state.
The decision, which constitutes reversal OF
the United States Supreme Courts earlier rul-
ing, revolves around Nevada divorce granted
North Carolina couple who went to Las
Vegas, where they lived in trailer camp
for six weeks and were separated from their
former spouses by Nevada court Return
ing to North Carolina after being married in
Nevada they were convicted OF bigamy.
The case and its disposition by the top
tribunal of the nation brings into question the
legal standing of persons divorced in one state
ularly does it cast doubt upon the legitimacy
of children born of the second marriage.
In dissenting opinion, Associate Justice
Hugo Black asserts the majority decision OF
the United States Supreme Court casts a
CLOUD over the lives of countless numbers of
the multitude of divorced persons in the
country. And, as above indicated, cloud
over their offspring.
The only way to remove the cloud would
seem to be uniform divorce laws in all states.
It is conceivable that this would involve q
constitutional amendment. Perhaps it is be-
You'd the jurisdiction, or even the inclination,
of Congress. If it must be submitted to popu-
lar vote in the states, the sooner provision is
made for it the better will it be for the entire
population.

genuity, they nave famed the
flames of these blood hatreds
wherever they found them in Eu-
rope, as part of calculated
policy. Mere liberation has not
overcome the consequences of
this sinister business.
The story of Geenral Okulicki
could be repeated many, many
times over, both out of contem-
porary history and out of the
Czarist past. Nor are the cruelty
and injustice all on one side by
any means These are the bloody
threads that make up the tapestry
of reprisal and revenge.
Certainly we Americans cannot
unweave this tangled tapestry of
hate. We cannot make it come
right. Even if we had physical
power in that area, even if we
were to go in, which is unthink-
able, as conquerors, we could not
undo the work of centuries.
What we can do, in my opinion,
is to stand firm for what we be-
lieve to be right. We can work
as mediator and friend, trying not
to become involved in the quarrel
as partisan.
Above all, we must have patti
ence. We must realize how deep
are the roots of this feud. We must
understand that it has little to do,
really, with contemporary politi-
cal forms and that it's cure will
not come overnight.
Some of our politicians would
ignore the historical perspective.
They would make us a party to
this ancient quarrel. Down that
path lies certain disaster.
