the greatest land-power in Asia,
as the United States is the great
est naval power in the adjoining
Pacific.
1t follows, therefore, that since
the fringes of American and Rus
sian policy and influence will meet
anyway in Manchuria and China,
that meeting would be more
strongly spotlighted to the world
if the UNO capital itself were on
the spot.
The Ia Kung Pao, being Chin
csc, speaks with a strong sense of
the past-the uncomfortably recent
past. Japan's invasion of Man
churia in 1881 was laid before the
League of Nations, in which China
and other weak nations placed
hopes of full sovereignty and
equality.
The League investigated, found
Japan guilty of aggression and
said so. Japan withdrew from the
League, and was allowed to get
away with it by such dominant
league powers as France and
Britain.
The Chinese strongly support
the UNO, just as they supported
the League.
They don't want history to re-
peat itself, and Manchuria is a
place where historic trends have a
habit of building up momentum
that is hard to stop.

Help For Little Nations

1t is doubtful if better disposition could be
made of the gold discovered by American
forces in Germany than to turn it over to the
smaller countries overrun by Hitler, whether
they can establish that parts Of it came from
their treasures or not.
They are in be d financial way, these little
countries, and not so liable to secure loans
or credits from the United States as the major
powers. few millions apiece would 60 far
to put them on their economic feet again.
The Allied countries reported to be presenting
claims for a cut of the gold as Preparations are
not placing themselves in an unselfish position.
The fact is, the United States has first claim
on all of it by right of discovery.
Being big-hearted and this being the Christ
mas season, it would be right and proper for
this government to dictate it's disposal and see
that a fair share goes to the weaker M tons
which were so thoroughly looted by the Ger
mans as they spread the pestilance of their
conquests.
An even greater need in these countries is
for food and clothing. Wilmington's churches
could all help their destitute peoples spend a
merrier Christmas if they undertook to buy
and ship canned foods in quantity without de-
lay, as St. Mary's is doing. There is no denom-
national limitations to true charity.

THE WHY OF 1T

Almost every week some big captain of in
dustry declares for universal training "as a
boon to democracy" Most of them got rich
by monopoly. They were eager to get big
reduction in their excess profits tax so that
if compulsory military service is foisted on
the country they will evade paying their just
share of the cost.
Why is Big Business so militaristic? Re
member the days when the military was
called out to shoot down men who were strik-
ing against niggardly wages? Some of these
plutocrats live in the hope of a return to
what they regard as the good old days
They hated Roosevelt when he said Ameri-
can soldiers should never shoot American citi.
zens. If the Big Boys had their way the
soldiers would be called out to dispense all

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11-R
The Ia Kung Pao in Chungking
made a suggestion today which it
knows perfectly well has about as
much chance as a SNOWFALL in
the Sahara.
This ordinarily sober Chinese
daily newspaper today proposed
that the capital OF the United Ma
tons Organization be located in
Changchun, the capital of Man
churia.
Perhaps this was just the Ia
Kung Pao's subtle way of saying
the same thing that DR.. Jan Mas
aryk OF Czechoslovakia said yes
terday--that the UNO, no matter
where its capital is to be, is in
danger of becoming a football to
be kicked around by power poll
tics.
Actually, Chungchun could be a
very attractive place. Chungchun
is the old Chinese name for pro-
vincial walled town which until
1881 dozed on a broad rise in the
rolling Manchurian prairie. 1t
wakes only moderately hot in the
long sunny summer of the north,
but gets pretty cold and windy in
the winter.
After 1881 the Japanese expro-
priated several Chinese farming
villages outside the grey walls OF

Changchun and there built new
capital (Which they called Hsin-
king and which means "New Capt.
tal") copied after Washington,
D. C..
The new city had circular plazas,
broad radiating streets, and sew
eral modern government buildings
of concrete-and-steel, faced with
colored brick. The roofs tried to
soar in the magnificent eave-sweep
of old China, but japanese archi-
tects trimmed them down into
stubby compromises. There was
an assembly or parliament build
ing, but no parliament.
Now if you backed Ia Kung
Pao editor up against the wall he
probably would admit that Man.
churia is too cold in the winter for
the elderly statesmen who will be
part of any UNO capital. So it
may be assumed that the sugges-
ton to locate UNO in Manchuria
is rooted in other reasons.
For one thing, Manchuria is the
largest remaining industrial setup
in all the Orient, and Control of it
will influence the recovery and
welfare of East Asia. That control
rests legally with China, but is
qualified by the Chinese treaties
with Russia and the unknown way
in which these treaties are going
to be implemented. Russia now is

LETTER BOX
A STADIUM TOO
To The Editor:

10 Lie IOAtOA
We have an opportunity, for once,
for Wilmington to take the lead and
not follow ten to twenty years be-
hind our sister cities in the state.
I'm referring to the project re-
gard;ng the erection of an Audi
torium at the Marine Hospital site.
Every civic organization and every
interested citizen should begin
right now and start working to-
ward an organization or commit
tee to draw up plans and see the
project completed. We need a sta
dunn to seat ten thousand people,
constructed so that additiinal seat
ing space can be added without too
much extra cost. We need base
ball field that will accommodate
enough people to warrant us a
berth in the Piedmont or any other
league. We need an auditorium
large enough to take care of any
convention or any indoor sports
tournament or entertainment in
prospect for this section of the
South. We need to have all three
of these combined into single
unit, with huge parking lot which
will be located convenient to all
three structures.
We have the site, the govern
ment has the money, so let's get
started. Let's transform what is
now more or less an "eyesore" into
the most modern recreational plan
in the South.
Everyone is talking about this
project, Wilmington as whole is
pulling out of her 'slumber!' The
time is right, so what are we wait
ing for!!

DR.. VESSEL said that red double

Interrupting Progress

During recent consideration and discussion
Of DEVELOPMENT projects it has been noticeable
that citizens proposing new undertakings IN
variably have had in mind investments tha'
REQUIRE bond issues or large grants OF federal
funds. 1t is an encouraging sign.
The old saying that it takes money to make
money is as true as that it takes salt to SAVIOR
food. Because this has not been recognized
in the past, New Hs mover county is stu pack
ward, when it might be leading the state IN
improvements.
The Junior college project was turned down
cold because it would have required some
financing by the county, although the build
ing was available. The county home has been
so neglected that session after session OF the
grand jury has condemned the county S I'd
ninistration, and still little or nothing is done
to bring it up 10 par because some county
money would have to be spent The county
has been left without tuberculosis sanatori-
UNI ever since the Army expanded its air
base until the vibration of planes shook pic
lures from the walls and it he d to be closed
The county commission was visited by large
delegation of citizens to present plea for
support Of a new institution, but because
bonds would be involved, this project too was
fatty refused.
There are dozen other undertakings that
could have greatly benefited the county and
its people, but all have been allowed to 60
by the board because the commission baked
at doing anything involving dollar Of county
money or bond credit
Right now the Legion Stadium is in a de-
plorable condition but the county refuses to
expend penny on essential repairs and

New Hanover county can't hope to get ahead
this way. Furthermore, it is not technically
up to the commission to say yes or no to
bond proposals. 1t is the people, making their
visws known by way Of the ballot box, who
should decide whether bonds are to be issued
for needed projects. The board has no just
right to stand between the people and their
desire to go ahead, as it has been doing for
some years. new understanding of the
boards duties by its members is overdue

Juvenile Delinquency

Tn his ge to police chiefs IN 1nterna-
+iona, convention It Miami, President Truman
earnestly urges steps to curb juvenile deln-
ouency. with a campaign aimed at1lts cause.
What are its causes? First, We should say,
is parental delinquency. j. Edgar Hoover,
head of the Federal Bureau of Investig cation,
declared himself convinced that parents are IN
large measure to blame when he said, during
his convention address: Juvenile delinquency
is nisnamed. It should be termed adult
crime"
During the busy war years. when so many
parents were employed by industry, often with
one on a day shift and the other at night
and both requiring sleep during their periods
off the job children of both sexes were wont
to run at large, with little or no restraint and
practically no guidance. Children, wherever
thew live. are naturally mischievous. Lacking
control this predisposition is only too likely
to advs nee to vandalism and next to felonies
OF one sort another.
Without parental supervision, the downward
steps have been all too easy, with result that
leaders in the country, from President Tru-
man down. are uOW WlIlSuIS I1CAl 1Ao4A0S, LII
capable of restoring orderliness among large
percents ge Of juveniles.
The federal government, state governments
and cities, tried to curb the rising tide Of
ton programs, in the sound belief that the
busy child doing something he or she enjoy
ed, would be less likely to go astray, but the
programs generally were started too late and
were too little to reach many Of the nations
youth and children before they had contracted
habits which invariably led to careers of
crime
If the ii! st responsibility rests upon parents.
the second certainly rests upon the federal
government which encouraged adults to ente:
war industries without first considering the
effect this employment would have on young
sters left to their own devices at ages when
they most needed adult guidance.
The only thing police chiefs can do now Is
to bring delinquents into court. The d. niger in
this Is that delinquents could be mostly
brought back into the right way Of living with
adequate advice and encoura gement but all
too OFTEN are sent 10 relOT1IldtOIleS WHICH, Will
few exceptions are schools of crime from
which the graduates emerge hardened wrong
doors.
If any true improvement is to be made
it seems to us that municipal governments
have among their gravest tasks the selection
of juvenile court judges with rare but essen
tial talent for dealing with youngsters who
have run foul of the law in way to make
good citizens of them. It has been done, in
thouss nds of cases by many juvenile judges
possessing this rare attribute.
And the juvenile court should be buttressed
by court of domestic relations in which pa
rents could be dealt with,> again by humani
tartan judges, in manner to make them
count it privilege to lead their offspring into
the safe harbor of /; harmonious home.

Heed Call Of These Bells

It's long time ahead Christmas and ye!
50 near we tremble lest we overlook friend
or needy child in our shopping. This, we sup
pose, is why so many people are crowding
stores and rushing up and down business
streets with troubled eyes, rejecting minds
disturbed, even though two weeks remain in
which to complete holiday buying.
And beet use Christmas is such wonderful
holiday. it seems that even the anxiety Of
shoppers is not without pleasurable aspect
the act Of giving being so grand an ex-
perience. And this is the first Christmas
that finds the world at least theoretically at
peace. The mighty armies and navies and air
forces are no longer flooding the earth with
blood The men who won great victories are
coming home. and if all are not getting what
they deserve, if the jobs they were promised
when they went away are not fully provided
ut least start has been made, nd the hearts
Of parents, of wives and children, OF sweet
hearts, are cheered by their presence.
Not the least attraction for shoppers is the
tinkle Of the little bells ringing out the appeal
the Salvation Army yearly ma kes for gifts o.
money that the city's poor may share with
its more fortunate population in celebration o.
the day. The little bells ringing beside the
familiar kettles here and there downtown, il
such thing could be, are the echo in ad
