Election In France

France is today conducting an election to
choose representatives to the National Assem-
bly, and to determine if the country wants a
new constitution as well as whether the Ma
tional Assembly shall have the power to turn
put the executive branch at will.
Commenting on the political trends in
France few days ago, the New York Times
had this to say:
sTaere is not much doubt that the election
will confirm the leftward trend of the French
people, The Socialist party, under the leader
ship of Leon Blum, is expected to poll the
heaviest vote, as it has done in every minor
election since the war ended. The parties of
the Right have consistently lost prestige and
votes The Communists have shown thus far
only moderate gains which the rural areas
are not expected to extend. What will be most
keenly studied in the returns is the strength
shown by the Movement Republican, Popu-
laire.
'Tais movement is the surprise OF French
politics It came from nowhere to poll IL PEI

John r. MurchisOn

Wil1ningtonians who knew John r. Murcal-
son agree that he was in every sense Chris
tan gentleman, a combination SO rare that it
cannot be over emphasized.
Mr.. Murchison succeeded his father as head
of John w. Murchison and Company years
ago and was esteemed as a capable business
leader in the community and throughout the
wide territory served by the firm. Gentle and
kindly of disposition always, he relinquished
outside activities as age crept upon him and
laterly had devoted himself to the business
which met the difficulties Of the war period
and war scarcities with holiness under his
leadership.
At one time he was active in the Rotary
club, serving as president He gave literally
of his time and conservation to st. James
Episcopal church of which he was for some
years a vestryman. But what outranks all
other of his attributes, in the opinion of his
friends is that he gave his whole life to
the practices Of the old-school gentleman and
his faith to the noblest efforts of Christianity.
Wilmington is the poorer in his death. But
Wilmington is the richer in that it had the
privilege Of his citizenship and example.

Paper Drive Next Sunday

One week from today the Senior Fraternity
will be out with trucks to gather the waste
paper, rags and tin cans you have been saw
ing since this collection was first announced.
If you haven't been saving much Of each
as you might this is an excellent time to
increase your hoardings, and encourage your
neighbors and friends to do the same, be-
cause all three are still needed even though
the fighting is over.
Not only are they still critical materials.
The young men of the Fraternity deserve
your cooperation. They are sacrificing their
opportunity to rest and enjoy the day with
their families and friends to drive up and
down the streets of the city and Wrightsville
Beach loading their trucks, working as hard
as they do on week days, to help the nation
meet definite need.
There is chance that this will be the
last similar public appeal. In the hope that
it is, the Fraternity is calling next Sundays
collection victory drive. The title is signnfncan
in that while the victory has been won ano
the fighting finished, the duration, as we have
pointed out before, is not at an end.
Let this Victory drive surpass all other
previous efforts.

Revolt In Venezuela

The situation in Venezuela is too clouded
for clear opinion, but it appears that one
cause, possibly the chief, cause OF the revolu-
ton is that mere civilian had been nominal
ed for the presidency. It was supposed that
Venezuela was at last to have free election
after fifty or more years OF army dictator
ship, but when private citizen had the
temerity to become candidate it was too
much for younger officers in the army. They
forthwith started a revolution which has al
ready cost half hundred or more lives and
taey seem to be on their way to supremacy.
And to think that the United States and
Great Britain were on the verge of war over
Venezuela half century ago! 1t is possible
that if James G. Blain had been elected pres.
ident this war would have come At least
that was the opinion of the opposition elder
statesmen at the time.

Draw Needed In Bridge

Public announcements Of the State Highway
Commissions intention to construct a new
bridge over the Brunswick river have not in
cluded the information that the Brunswick
bridge will include a draw. It may be an
oversight in reporting the project It would
be hard to account for other grounds as
the Brunswick is navigable stream and So,
in accordance with the government custom,
requires a draw.
The importance of providing means for YES
sells to pass up the stream above the bridge
is obvious. It would offer secondary route
to industries at Navassa in addition to the
Cape Fear river, and in case of an accident
closing the draw in the Cape Fear bridge
during REPAIRS would make it possible for
materials and supplies to reach plants now
dependent on the Cape Fear alone for water
transport.
Furthermore, in addition to placing draw
IN the Brunswick bridge, the stream needs
clearing, Of submerged logs and debris, and
the channel needs deepening. This may be on
the engineers schedule, along with the draw,
and has merely remained unreported
The Navassa area, already the home of
great fertilizer and creosotng plants, is ad.
pnirably situated for additional industries, in
the establishment of which the Wilmington
trade district would benefit, no less than the
firms locating there. Whatever can be done
TO develop transportation on the Brunswick,
to supplement the Cape Fear, would be a
boon.
