Bluethenthal could well accommodate Army

use of the field by commercial air lines and
private fliers. Pilots declare it among the best
airfields in the country, some going SO far
as to place it at the top Of them all. Its
runways will accommodate the largest trans
port planes in existence. Another exceptional
advantage is that it is not subject to ground
fogs which handicap so many other fields
The commerce body's position is that it the
Army cannot, under its postwar program, re-
activate the field on the old scale, it might
be able to operate it on a part-time basis

The Press On

long time ago Jerome K. Jerome wrote
a book, 'Three Men in a Boat" It was full
of bright sayings that would still entertain a
reader if COPIES are to be had. For example,
a mother, or it may have been sister or
an aunt, tells the maid to "See what Willie
Is doing and tell him to stop it."
This comes to mind in connection with The
Daily Workers comment on President Tru'
mans address to Congress recommending uni
versal military training. This naouthpiece OF
the communists and other fellow travellers
SAYS: 1--WE are opposed to it not because we
are pacifists or because we are against all
military training in principle This has never
been the Marxist view we oppose Pres-
dent Truman's proposal because we oppose
the foreign policy for which it is to be the
instrument
It seems to be the red equivalent OF the
mother or the sister or the aunt who wants
to know what Harry is doing and tell him
to stop it.
Other editorial comment from the New York
Press not under the Marxist influence or
owing allegiance to Moscow, sees the Presl-
dents proposition differently. Says the Times:
"His language is plain His position is un-
eouivocal. 1t is a position and program
with which this newspaper heartily agrees
we believe the people of this country have
the wisdom to see this, and the courage and
strength to do what is necessary to insure
peace with honor"
And the Herald Tribune declares the mes
sage ..rnay well stand in the future as one OF
the fundamental documents in American his
tory every thoughtful person is aware
that to institute system of compulsory one
wear military training and military discipline
for every male citizen of the United States
is to institute a radical innovation in Amerl-
can socio-economic life, the effects OF which

cannot well be foreseen. But the stark
question is. can we do less?"
.sOn the whole,'' says the Daily News, tine
Truman plan looks good to us even
if, as we all hope, we never have to hght
another war, this plan would pay big divi-
dends."
Probably as many newspapers Will IND
fault with the plan as those that endorse 1t.
But it may be taken for granted that, approx
ing or opposing, they will present an honest
American viewpoint, not one stemming from
Marxism or present-day Moscow.

HIGHWAY IDENTIFICATION

On the other side of the mountain range,
in North Carolina, plans are afoot to beauty
roadsides throughout the state.
Fifteen state organizations and number

to form Roadside Development Council of

Besides proposing to improve the natural
beauty OF as many roads and highways as
possible all over the state, it was expected to
adopt later one highway Identification pro-

Charlotte's Example

One of the reasons, in fact one OF the chief
reasons, Charlotte has gone ahead is that its
people go after new projects. The Charlotte
Observer announces that the city is likely to
become the state headquarters Of the Veterans
Administration, and that as soon as the nee
essary floor space, some fifty thousand square
feet can be found the move will be made.
The Observer credits its information to J. S..
Pittman of Fayetteville, head Of the agency
in North Carolina.
1t has been like that IN Charlotte for some
years. AS result Charlotte has acquired a
great number of agencies of large manufac-
turing concerns, in addition to becoming the
home of many influential firms. So active has
it been that the last federal census showed
it's population greater than that OF any North
Carolina city.
The moral of this is that it pays to go out for
the things that build cities.

Last Chance To Register

Saturday is the last day upon which voters
may register for the special election on city
extension. Thus far, that is on the two pre-
ceding Saturdays, the number Of registranls
has been exceedingly small in comparison
with the total number otherwise eligible to
cast ballots and in consideration Of the i'm
portance Of the election.
1t is to be hoped that this final registration
will be large enough to guarantee represen'
tative vote at the polls on November 6, when
the election will be held Otherwise, whatever
the outcome the election will not reflect a
fair cross section of opinion either in the city
OF the affected suburbs.
If in the short time intervening before Satur-
day any person who cannot visit the proper
registration place during the appointed hours
may call at his registrars home and be en-
rolled. It is to be remembered that no person
who does not register this special poll list
will be permitted to vote since this is to be
a special election.

LARGE GATHERING
HEARS PREACHER

Large congregations continue to
be the order nightly at Temple
Baptist Church where the Rev.
W. ]. Stephenson has been con-
ducing an inspired series of
evangelistic meetings.
On Wednesday night, the Rev.
Mr.. ' Stephenson taking for his
subject, Gods Quest for Man"
delivered strong sermon, which
in part was as follows:
"The History of the Race is the
story of Gods pursuit of man.
From the time when He said to
Adam, where at thou" till to-
day we see Him ever seeking the
souls of men. Christ came to
Seek and save those that are
lost"
1T was not the sheep that
sought the Shepherd but the shep-
herd seeking the lost sheep. Not
the coin seeking the widow but
the widow seeking the lost coin.
The Father of the ProdigaI son
was waiting and watching for his
return.
1T is the most distinguished
person in all history that is seek
ing an entrance into the hearts Of
men. If anyone will let me in,
says Jesus, II will come in and
sup whit him." He desires an
entrance.
"The truth is universal any
man."
The Christ who seeks entrance
is both human and divine. So
Human He became weary and so
divine that He said, Come unto
me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and will give you rest, /.
So human that He became hungry
and so divine that He took five
leaves and two fishes and fed five
thousand. He does not force an
entrance but awaits the opening
of the door.
This desire for entrance into
the hearts of men shows God S
love for men. 1t shows how much
He wants men to be free from
sin. It reveals how much God
wants men to love him. It also
shows that Satan cannot enter
while He is there. When we open
our hearts to Him we are granted
the privilege Of having fellowship
with Him. Our sins and purposes
are one with Christ. We are given
the privilege of Sonship. For as

Navy Day Hospitality

Navy Day is to be an extraordinary event
in Wilrningtons long history. 1t is to bring
into the harbor a hotilla of ships just back
from the greatest naval conflict Of all time,
during which the American Navy destroyed
both Japan's Navy and millions of tons Of
Japanese shipping Already they have begun
to arrive By Saturday the little fleet will be
IN
It is rare privilege indeed to be host to
a part of the magnificent naval force that
did so much to crush the enemy.
It is also a rare opportunity to prove Will
mington's just claim of excelling in hospita-
lily. These men of the Navy are for the most
part in home port for the first time since
they went forth to battle. Many will set foot
on home soil the first time since they first
heard the fateful summons to battle stations.
Surely Wilmington cannot do too much to
make their all too brief visit memorable.
It is not merely a matter Of dances and din.
ners and public festivities These are impor.
tant, of course But the business community,
the merchants and hotels and home jewellers
have equal responsibility with the committees
planning for their entertainment.

organizations have received a flood Of letters
from parents, wives and sweethearts, sayinf

been much affected by the tradi-
tional British disposition to align
the smaller countries and to seek
strong allies against the strongest
power in Europe. The labor gov
eminent seems to follow this line
as instinctively as any other.
In addition, American thinking
has been much muddled on the
whole subject because of the vul-
gar partisan trick of calling every
one a communist who is to the left
of the extreme right. For many
Americans this has totally obscur-
ed the reality in Europe, which
is - as the French elections dem
onstrate strikingly, as the behavior
Of the British labor party shows
- that the real conflict is not be-
tween conservatives and Commun-
sis but between the democratic
left, which includes socialists and
liberals, and the Communists.
This is sufficient to suggest that
we need to reconsider our attitude,
and without attempting to say here
what our new Conclusions should
be, we may say, I believe, what
we must base our policy not on
the imaginary fear of Communist
expansion westward but upon the
need Of Strengthening European
democracy against the real peril
OF anarchy.

Dur Soviet Policy Reconsidered

The French elections are the
latest and the most impressive in
a series of events which throw a
great deal of light upon the para
mount question Of our relations
with the Soviet Union. They show,
believe, that American policy and
opinion have been badly confused
by a mistaken estimate of the in
luence which the Soviet Union is
able to exert beyond its own from
tiers in Europe.
The underlying assumption has
been that in the misery and chaos
of liberated Europe, the masses OF
the people would naturally turn to
the Communist parties inspired
and supported by Moscow. On that
there has been a remarkable tacit
agreement among those who were
ready to welcome the spread Of
Communism and those. who were
MORALLY opposed to Communism.
There are the best of reasons
for thinking that it is extremely
improbable that Europe, begin.
ming in the east with Poland, could
be organized in a Soviet system.
II the worst happened Europe
might possibly sink into anarchy,
and amidst general anarchy local
dictators might appear here and
there. But to organize a Soviet sys-
tenn in Poland, Italy, and France,
and even, as some of our more
excited observers have suggested,
in Great Britain, is an undertaking
which is almost certainly quite be.

any case an imaginary idea. Every
attempt to impose the Soviet sys-

There is now an accommodating
mass Of evidence that the funda.

whether the Soviet system is going

The fact also that the Kremlin is
