Osetljiv nemacki pesnik, Ernest Toller, koji
ie umro kao zrtva pruskog miiitarizma hit
lerizma, pisao je da "ijudskoj gluposti nema

Right Of Congress Alone

The Star-News agrees with former Presi-
dent Hoover that the San Francisco Charter
should be ratified by the Senate but that
Congress should never part with its powers
to declare war;
No individual, certainly not a member OF
the Security Council alone should be vested
with the right to plunge the nation into
war That right is hte constitutional responal-
bility OF Congress- 1t should never be taken
away.
This does not mean, however, that the Unit
ed States member of the Security Council
should not have power to order special police
duty for any branch or unit of the nations Sc
curity forces in emergency.
A chief of police does not have to ask
permission from the city government to call
out his reserves for riot duty. The right is
inherent in his office. BY the same token ou1
Security Council member need not ask Per
mission to call out the troops air force
of fleet to suppress an incipient war move
But if the fare-up threatened actual and
devastating war; so that the entire armed
forces of the nation would be needed, and a
declaration of war alone could meet the emer
gency, then the President should still 60 be-
fore Congress, state the case, and ask its sup.
port in making that declaration.

Too Ambitious

Ambition, often, is a dangerous thing
Caesar you remember was ambitious, and
look what they did to him.
Now, its Leopold of Belgium Leopold wanted
to 90 home and be king again. But the Belglans
could not forget that he surrendered the Bel
gian Army to the Germans and accepted the
hospitality of the Nazis while his people were
being subjected to torture and their land de-
spoiled
So the Belgian Senate following the lead of
the Chamber of Deputies, voted to exile him
and continue the regency under Prince
Charles. AS this legislative action is the legal
procedure set up for such cases, Leopold is an
outcast and while he probably will have a
place to lay his head it will not be in the
imperial palace, nor will his head ever be
heavy with the weight of the crown
If Leopold had not been ambitious he wouic
have abdicated and his future lot been better
Look at what the British did for King Edward
when he abdicated. He'll never lack a sof
berth.

The Senates approval of tax revision In
der which corporations will have an improved
chance to reconvert to peacetime production
is a welcome step in the right direction.
But what the American people generally want
the Congress to do is to cut the federal waste
that has characterized the war period so that
revision downward of income taxes may be
made.
The public, no less than corporations, needs
a chance to reconvert to peacetime living,
and unless there is considerable reduction
in income taxes, the process is going to be a
sacrificial rite
For some years the public has been led
like a lamb to the slaughter The time has
come to give relief from the tax burden VIII CHI
is so largely the result of governmental
extravaganza.

The Highway Hearing

Sometime before he died President Roose-
welt developed a master plan for a super
highway network to connect all sections CT
the United States, in the building of which
jobs would be provided for tens of thousands
of returning veterans Because President
Roosevelt was not familiar with conditions
in all regions and obviously prepared his map
without consulting persons in close touch with
regional conditions and needs, his final draft
was far from adequate.
When Mr. Roosevelt's map was first dis.
tributed the Star-News pointed out that North
Cardinals entire coastal region was not rep
resented, nor was there provision for feeder
highways from the coast to the interior Gov
ernments of communities in the excluded ter
ritory and the states delegation in Congress
were urged to call the attention of authorities
with the great project in charge to the ovor-
sight and ask that the map be revised to ill.,
clude the coastal area and connect it with
the heavy industry territory to the northwest
and west.
The appeal apparently has been dormant,
if not actually forgotten. For the State High
way Commission, which announces a hearing
on the highway plan at its offices in Raleigh
on Wednesday, says that the cities indicated
along the original route will be represented
and that Raleigh, which is overlooked will
have representative present to show why
it should be included. No reference is made
to a Wilmington delegation.
Because this hearing is liable to settle all
highway routes in the state the Star-News
repeats is appeal that the City Council and
the County Commission attend the session,
together with all citizens with the best in
terests of southeastern North Carolina at
heart and present Wilmington's claim to serv-
ice by the nter-area highway system which is
to have such an important part in the post
war national development program.
Unless this is done and appeal made with
sufficient pressure to assure its adoption, Will
mington will find itself cut off from the agri-
cultural and industrial areas of the Interior fer
the underdeveloped, circutous roads that
have been in service for years. And all the
time Wilmington will have the best port
through which the products of the interior can
move to coastal or foreign markets.
