Initiation Not Inevitable

Next to the atomic bomb and the strike
wave which are contributing so largely to
the uncertainties of the future, the probability
of initiation, which would be equally destruc-
tive of our security, has the nation by the
ears.
That it is on the way cannot be denied.
That it might be stopped short, like grand.
fathers clock, never to run again, is not an
impossible theory.
That it will not be halted 50 long as Wash.
ington practices continue, is one Of the GER
tairties OF this troubled time.
It is sure to gain momentum until it gets
completely out of control so long as there is
a scarcity of consumer goods in popular de-
mand and the people generally possess more
money in bonds or bank accounts than ever
before And there will be no pickup in the
manufacture Of the things the people want,
even though all strikes were called off i'm
mediately, until manufacturers are permitted
to 20 into production without the restr aints
Washington has imposed on them and they
are sure of reasonable profit upon their in
vestnent and their products.
Initiation is the product Of short supply
and surplus purchasing power. When dozen
farmers want hoe or tractor or reaper and
the store has but one in stock they begin
bidding for it and up goes the price. The
process is the same in all trade, whether the
article in short demand is pianos or hair
pins, rolling pins or shoes, cotton goods or
concrete, lead pencils or baby carriages. AS
long as only one or a few Of any article
can be had and many buyers compete to pur-
chase, prices are bound to soar.
There are many manufacturers prepared to
90 into capacity production who hold back
because the OPA viii not give them The green
light by knocking down the ceilings it placed
on commodities as 4 war measure and will
not abandon.
It is our contention that if industry were

by the OPA and poured forth tut supply
Of consumer goods 50 that the market could
meet the demands even Of 4 people with fo;d-
ing money in their pockets, the threat Of in
hation would disappear and the dependable
law of supply and demand would keep prices
on reasonable level.
One thing is certain AS long as manufactlsr-
ers are under the price regulation noR inn
posed by the OPA they will never fire their
boilers to heavy production heat. They cannot
do so without loss. Their losses would It'll

Advisory Commission

Secretary Of State Byrnes is definitely OPP
posed to Russia's proposal for a commission
to administer Japan's affairs He has made
this plain by creating an Allied commission
to serve in an advisory capacity without
changing the status of General Macarthur as
Supreme Commander.
Although Mr. Byrnes has issued invitations
to nine other nations to have representatives
on the commission, he says that when and
if there is conflict Of opinions among the
victor nations, United States policy will pre-.
vail.
This is as it should be. The United States
carried the ball in the Pacific, to large
naval and ground forces, drove the Japanese
either out of the southwest Pacific or left
pockets Of enemy troops where they could
neither fight or normally sustain life, then
opened the air attack that crippled Japan's
war production and destroyed her chief in
dustrial centers and finally used the atomic
bomb which forced Hirohto to sue for peace
Australian, British and Dutch units shared
the fight, but leadership and the bulk of the
fighting in all branches was American. From
the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, the war
in the Pacific was ours to win. Having won
it. it is but natural that we should have the
last say on administration during the occu-
patton. Russia's share in the victory was too
small and too brief to entitle Moscow to the
position it demands in determining the poll
cies upon which the Allied forces must de-
pend for the restoration Of sound and safe
peace in Japan.
Secretary Byrnes is right to make the Unit
ed States position clear. The demand for a
four power commission with the Soviet Union
one of the four is typical of the Moscow at
titude in general. A firm position now. as
taken by Mr.. Byrnes, should be sufficient to
convince the Russians that they are not rum
ming the show.

Support City Extension

In previous efforts to extend Wilmington S
boundaries there has been strong opposition
among residents in the areas proposed for an.
nexation.
Because the proponents both among subur-
ban and city jewellers have not worked out a
plan which is both feasible and advantageous,
and municipal, commences lacking in the su'
burbs can be installed with no serious delays,
this opposition has begun to change into ap.
proval, with some of the larger property own
ers, upon whom the taxes involved in expan.
sion will fall heaviest, among the converts.
Only yesterday the Star-News published a
letter addressed to Hargrove Bellamy, chair
man of the Citizens Committee working for city
extension, from J. Holmes Davis, chairman Of
the Spofford Mills, Inc, declaring that Mr..
Davis and the officers of the mill company
will support extension, although the company,
located just beyond the city limits, will have
to meet increased tax levies.
And the day before Frederick Willetts, real
estate operator, who has developed many ST.
burban subdivisions, and suburban resident
himself, announced before the Rotary club that
he, too, would support and vote for annexation
although much of his property also will be
affected by the change Of boundaries.
Both Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Willetts emphasize
in the postwar era to unprecedented usefulness
and wish to do their part in the effort neces.
sary to bring this about.

AS dental decay decreases in
proportion to the amount of fin.

was to find how much fluorine tbo

Fluorine is not an absolute pre-.

hold the disease in check. Children
who spend the first eight years Of
their life drinking water with the
ideal fluorine content receive the
most benefit from its use.

Your G. l. Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, Oct. II, - Here
are some questions from G1s and
their relatives regarding the post.
war Army:
@. They tell me that if we re.
enlist in the regular Army we will
get a furlough for a while. Is this
true and how long would we get?
A. The Army is offering fur
loughs for the basis of 80 days for
each year served, up to 80 days,
for men who re-enlist.
@. My neighbour son was in
Europe less time than my boy and
he has already returned. was told
he re-enlisted and got home, that
way. What does this mean?
A. Soldiers who are overseas and
re-enlist are sent home first and
given furloughs Immediately.
@. My son says he plans to re-
enlist in the Army. Would this
mean he would have to go over
seas?
A. Army says all men who re-
enlist will be permitted their choice
of overseas theater and branch OF
service.
@. I just got in the Army and
think it might be a good idea to
stay in. What about retaining my
rank if l re-enlist?
A. Men re-enlisting in the same
branch of the service in which they
are now serving will be temporar-
lily promoted to their present grade.
@. I have been out of the Army
for a month and, believe it or not,
would just as soon be back. 1 have
read that the Army is making a
pretty good offer to men who have
been in once if they re-enlist. What
are the requirements to get back
in?-
A. Discharged veterans may re-
enlist within 80 days of discharge
if they are between the ages of 10
and "a inclusive and physically
qualHied.
