State College Foundations

The idea of establishing foundations to sup
plement salaries for securing better talent
and better research for the improvement of
the agricultural, engineering and general well
fare of a state is new.
Particularly is this true in state support
ed institution. The idea is so appealing and
SO practical that various groups of progress
sive citizens throughout the State have or
ganized The Textile Foundation, The Engi-
neering Foundation, The Agricultural Foun-
dalton and The Dairying Foundation.
The motive behind all of these foundations
is that the research, teaching and extension
program in these schools at North Carolina
State College can render outstanding services
to North Carolina citizens, only if highly
competent men are in charge of the work. In
order to obtain and keep the best men posi-
BILE, it will be necessary to have additional
funds to supplement the salaries that can
be offered from regular appropriations.
In case some one may think that the State
should provide the salary supplements, the
following explanation is offered Of necessi.
ty, there must be a somewhat standard scale
of salaries for professors and instructors in
the several State owned colleges of North
Carolina and teachers of general standardized
subjects can usually be secured at the nor
NAL salary scale.
Specialists who have become outstanding
in agriculture and other sciences often can
not be secured or retained at such salaries.
These men are sought after by other colleges,
by corporations and by individuals who need
such services and who able and willing
to pay larger salaries. North Carolina cannot
raise the salary schedule in one State owned
college without raising the schedule in all
State owned colleges. The relatively between
college salaries and all other State salaries
would be disturbed and the increase in ap-
preparations would result in material in
crease in the tax burden.
These agricultural scientists and specialists,
needed to give advice and assistance to the

They contend that even the over

ratio against Germany will be
surpassed once the full weight of
Anglo-American air power is de-

argue, also, that Japan both in dis

meagreness of her internal trans

TENS is more vulnerable than was
Germany.
The test of what the japanese
can take from the air is certainly

The War

Allied policy against the Germans
was to build up enough strength
of all sorts for a fast knockout.
MOTIVE APPARENT
That controlling motive was ap-
parent in preparations for the
D-Day invasion of France. That op-
Grafton was held back until every
possible precaution against failure
had been taken. Face to face with
the full weight of the Whermacht
the Allies had to be sure they had
the power in air and on the ground
to drive through to a relatively
quick victory. Otherwise they
might be bled white by losses,
short of triumph.
The only alternative proposed
was reliance upon air power alone
to bring Germany to her knees.
Prime Minister Churchill at one
early stage told Congress in Wash
ington that idea was at least worth
a trial but not at the expense OF
preparations to do the job the hard
way.
In the aftermath of the European
victory no doubt there will arise
debate as to whether, in the light
of what is now known about the

Editorial Comment
Europe To Pacific

Contrary to what seems to be the popular
belief tn, route from Europe to the Pacific
war area is longer than the route via the
United States, even when dipping southwark
through the Panama canal.
From Britain the sea route to the east, via
the Suez canal, is approximately 1880 miles,
The route via the Panama canal is approx
mately 1000 miles,
These figures indicate how the bulk of the
troops will be transferred And there is an
important factor other than distance that is a
determining influence. Climate conditions on
the whole are better for the westward route.
And the supply problems much easier to
solve.
If an armored division crosses the Atlantic,
then crosses the United States to re-embark
on the west coast, Is cargo vessels would be
needed to transport its equipment by water

Fuehrer Hitler is reported to have
summoned the Nazi Gauleiters TO
his Alpine fastness at Berchtes-

the light Of the disaster which is

The decisions Of that meeting

sign that the dictator has aban-

Hitlers scheme for saving his

that Allied victory (which he now

by European chaos. This will be
taused by "unrestrained appetites
