said:
HAMPER ECONOMY
wherever we erect barriers on
the grounds of race or religion, or
of occupational on professional sta
tlls, we hamper the fullest eXpan-
sion of our economic society. In
tolerance is poor economy. PreJu-
dice doesn't pay. Discrimination Is
destructive !"
Continuing, he said: There is a
tendency to soft-pedal The spread
Of alien doctrines Of intolerance.
The theory, I suppose, is that the
best way to treat disease is to
pretend that it doesn't exist That
is a cowardly theory and worse, a
futile one.
Tt seems to me That honest disg-
noSis is the first and indispensable
measure in meeting the challenge
of propaganda and whispering
campaigns directed against foreig-
ners, against Jews against Catho-
lies, against Negroes"
SYMPTOMS NATION WIDE
He said race riots in Detroit or
Harlem, or racial antagonisms" in
Boston or Brooklyn were easily
brushed off as local incidents"
but that these episodes of violence
are symptoms of pressure and emo
lions and EMBELLISHMENTS which
are nationwide"
Race hatred, he said, is not only
a threat to the minority it affects
directly, but to the whole country,
and that only 100000 German
Jews suffered through the triumph
of NaZis barbarism - but that nom
Jews who suffered from it include
the more than 100000 Germans?
There are some in our country,
he said, "industrialists, white-collar
workers, laboring people, who hold
to the myth that economic pro-
gress can be attained on the prin-
ciple of the unbalanced see-saw
They think that if some groups
can be forever held down, : the
others will forever enjoy economic
privileges and prosperity at the
end which is up.
Fortunately, it does not work
that way = The Withholding of
jobs and business opportunities
from some people does not make
more job business opportunities for
others"

We contend this is either a misnomer or the

Proof Of Defeat

From the tone of some Japanese broadcasts
and comments of certain japanese leaders 1t
is obvious that it will be dit icult to convince
one element of Japan's military group that
their nation was definitely defeated. For those
who hold this view it should be enough to
cite the record of the American BIG cam
paign as revealed by General Carl A. Spaatz,
commander o. the United States Army Stra-
tegic Air Forces These Supertortresses, he
says, flew 1852 sorties and dropped 169,42l
tons of bombs in their fourteen months Of
war operations.
In wireless dispatch to the New York
Times, w. H. Lawrence says
The B-29's destroyed the major portion OF
the industrial productive capacity of tifty-nlne
Japanese cities, laid 12,O49 mines in enemy
waters and destroyed or damaged 2,285 Jap
anese planes.
Total combat losses to the American
forces amounted to 437 Boss, OF which the
crew ENTHUSIASTICALLY eleven to plane-o1
297 bombers were not rescued. About 800 air
men from downed B-29s were saved.
The Superforts' flew more than 0,000,.
to knock Japan out of the war before it was
necessary to invade the home islands
I'm communque summing up the oper'
alton of the B-29's with their carrying ca
pacity of ter tons of bombs each, General
Spaatz said, their attacks on specific Japa
nese industrial targets had reduced enemy
production by Is per cent and had almost
completely destroyed Japan's major oil re-
filming capacity.
He said total OF 581 important enemy
factories engaged in the production of wal
materials had been either totally destroyed
or severely damaged.
''The B-29 mining missions, which began
last March %, resulted in an almost complete
blockade of every Japanese shipping lane"
I If this record fails to convince japanese
braggarts that they suffered defeat, they
ought to be reminded of the destruction O.
their Navy and the successful operations o.
our land forces from Guadalcanal and New
Guinea to the Philippines and Okinawa.
Nor would it do any harm to remind then
that the Chinese, finally equipped, were fore

EXCESSIVE RAINFALL

Excessive rainfall has caused

Gus problem and possible disaster.
The boil weevil, deadly enemy
of cotton, thrives and multiplies
extensively in wet weather, Mr..
Galphin said. 1t attacks the
younger, softer cotton bolls and the
rain, besides delaying opening,
causes them to remain soft.
Fall crops too, such as snap
beans, turnips, cabbage and broc-
cali are threatened, for the rain
makes it impossible to ferti] O.

they are planted shor .ly, they will

to name him member of the board to re-

know that neither he nor other prisoners at

School Without War

Public school principals are meeting with

scheduled to open on September A.
For the first time in four years Wilmington
and New Hanover county chldren will 60 to
school without war, condition which should
make for better progress. For despite the
fact that the war was fought far from our
shores school children, from the youngest to
high school seniors, were subject to it's in
fluence and suffered grave emotional reac-
tons while it lasted. So many had fathers
or brothers or uncles in the armed forces,
so many felt their first deep sorrow on learn
ing their loved ones would never come home,
it would be inane to claim that because
the battles were far away the children were
Unaffected by the holocaust.
Now, the war is over. Its aftermath will
continue throughout the period Of occupation
in Germany and Japan, but the cruel fact
OF violent death in combat will no longer en-
gage chfldren's hearts and imaginations as
in the past. The coming school year, there
fore, may well be marked by exceptional ad
vancement. The New Hanover County Public
School System may expect to make an ex.
traordinary mark for achievement.
And the briefing of teachers will have a
large part in bringing this about. The train.
ing our children will receive, in citizenship
as well as the prescribed courses of study,
will in large measure shape the community S
future.
We have not done so well with the world
of today It will devolve upon them to dc
better with the world of tomorrow. Their sue
cess will depend Upon the way they are pre-.
pared for the job. While the teachers must
assume some responsibility for this prepare
ton, they cannot do it all. Equal response.
