More Nazi Atrocities

While word of the terrible treatment OF Al
lied prisoners of war by Japanese is begin
ming to seep through to the American press
new accounts of German atrocities still come
in. The latest is told by Lieut.. Gen. Sir
Douglas Brownrigg, former adjutant general
of British field forces.
Sir Douglas recently returned from tour
of Norway and reports that he saw evidences
of Germany's intention to remain in that coun-
try for long time, possibly forever. Two
places in particular showed the limits to
which the Nazis went to establish a grip
on the hapless country
One was the Lototen islands, which guard
the waterway leading to Narvik. The other
was Trondheim. At the former he says: "The
underground chambers for ammunition and
gun crews were comparable to those l saw
in the Maginot Line in 1910; but the guns
were nearly twice the size of anything to be
found in the French frontier defenses. That
is not the kind of battery that an invader
builds unless he means to stay"
The works he saw at Trondheim, he says
were even more astonishing. There were u
boat pens five completed and five unfinished.
Each could be quickly turned into drydock
and all had forty feet of reinforced concrete
for roof Nothing less than an atomic bomb,
he surmises, could destroy them. They were
there for all time.
Answering the inevitable question how this
all could be done in the short time the Ger
mans occupied the country, he says it was
done by unlimited use of forced labor. Eigh'
teen hundred Russion lives were sacrificed on
the work. THE poor slaves" ne writes were
worked to a standstill and then were shot
when no longer worth their keep"
AS Moscow must have learned about this
there is no wonder that the Russians have in
sisted on Ike eping German labor gangs at work
restoring destroyed Russian cities.

Britain Wants Gifts

Because this new world is something
different than any nation has known before
it is going to be hard for some powers to
readiust their viewpoints to the new condi-
tions. It will be especially difficult for Great
Britain to do so because OF the empire trade
in which she has been engaged so many gen.
erations and, if the truth must be told, she has
conducted so ruthlessly so far as competition
or concession are concerned.
The sudden ending of Lend-Lease, under
which Britain had accepted no dollar obhga-
ton for repayment, has London IN dlther'
with British leaders insisting tney cannot ac-
cept loans because of debts to British Empire
countries but at the same time must nave
United States materials Britain would IKE 10
have the United States continue Its phllan-
tropic gifts indefinitely, while she does some
thing about the $4,000, OoO,0 900 she owes her
satellite areas, notably the Middle East and
India, which are demanding something on ac'
count, but which London wants to shrug off,
Washington insists this country cannot make
further gifts. Washington says the United
States would be pleased to make good sized
loans to Great Britain at very low interest
rates but the grand old days of free-wlu Of
ferings are past.
British ENJOYS are on hand to plead Bril-
tains poverty and conferences are to be aeia
in an effort to find mutually agreeable way
out of the difficulty. 1t will not be entirely
fair for them to claim that but for Britain
this country would have gone down under Hit
ler's attack, or maybe the Japs', because,
while we freely and thankfully acknowledge
that Britain was our first line of defense while
Hitler was making up his mind which way to
turn after Frances fall, it is equally true that
Britain would have been wiped out had it not
been for United States help, both military and
Lend-Lease.
This country appreciates its kinship to Brl
tain but has finally awakened to the fact thai
even relatives ought to pay their just debts
if only penny at a time.

ceiving more money for their work than they
ever dreamed of before, and the veterans were
living in foxholes under the constant threat OF
death and earning a mere pittance.
True, hundreds of thousands of loyal citi-
zens worked hard, for long hours, with vic
tory as much their inspiration as it was the
soldiers but their fellow workers who obeyed
the orders of grasping, selfish leaders and
forced hundreds of industries to cease pro-
ducing in the war emergency offset the fine
record of the faithful; and so veterans will
have much more of the public's favor if and
when a showdown comes.
And if Congress turns out to be the mirror
of public opinion, it is not difficult to foresee
how it will go.

Port Possibilities

Because it is cheaper, water transportation
has long been the bugaboo of the railroads.
it is not surprising therefore, that the rail.
roads, in the opinion of delegates at the
South Atlantic and Florida Ports conference
at Jacksonville, Florida, will attempt to block
the reopenng of coastwise and intercoastal
shipping. The surprise would come only if
they failed to oppose this competition.
But the fact that they Edo oppose it offers
no sound reason why shipping interests and
water transport operators should abandon
their effort to get ships again in coastal and
inland waterway service On the contrary, it
should spur them to increase their efforts.
Nor should the effort stop with coastal
waters. The markets of the world are wide
ing for American products. Not only UNRRA
is involved, however great its demands for
cargo space for food supplies needed in Eu-
rope may be. Through the new system of in
ternational banking and credits set up by the
United Nations organization, government aft.
building materials, and other equipment need
ed for the rehabilitation of their countries
American shipping will be in tremendous de-
nand for years to come.
South Atlantic and Florida ports will have
the greatest opportunity that has ever come
their way to build up their commerce. The
Jacksonville conference has worldwide per
spective And because it must look to its por
for major share of its postwar prosperity
Wilmington along with North Cardinals otlel
two ports, Southport and Morehead City, will
be on the alert for full share of this world
no less than coastwise and inland waterway
commerce.

FOR SOLDIERS OF THE AIR

On the beams of sunshine. and
In the Shelter of the clouds, our
sons are soaring as eagles, to
serve our Country, our Cause and
Thee, o Lord God of Battles. Thou
hast given them new powers as
pioneers of life in the upper air;
and into their hands Thou hast
put mighty engines of Thy wrath.
We pray for them in their new
powers and perils. Grant them
high hearts as aloft they pursue
holy war. AS they take the wing
OF the morning, and rise into the
skies, may they know themselves
to be soldiers of the air, and in
unity with the invincible hosts of
heaven, VINO ceaselessly do Thy
will. If any perish, may they meet
the Lord in the air; for, like Him,
they have sacrificed life on a holy
Cause. Let Divine vision and sup
port be granted to their fellow la
borers who, on the ground, make
possible the life in the air. And
speed, we entreat Thee, the day
when peace will fill the argosies
OF the air with cargoes of human
helpfulneSS. Amen.-W.T

BOARD WILL URGE
AIRLINE ACTION

Members of the Board o!
County Commissioners yesterday
authorized letter to G. T. Baker,
president of National Airlines,
asking that the airline renew its
request with the Army Air Forces
for use of facilities at Bluethenthal
Army Air Base for commercial
use.
Yesterdays action followed the
disclosure that AAF officials in
Washington last week assured Will
mington that the field would be
available almost Immediately for
commercial airlines.
Previously a delegation of three
representatives of the City and
County were authorized to call on
AAF officials in Washington, to
seek permission for commercial
planes to use Bluethenthal field.
However, they were advised that
such action ky local officials was
unnecessary.
Several months ago, When Ma
tional Airlines instituted nonstop
service from Jacksonville, Fla,
to Philadelphia. officials at Will
mington reminded the airline OF
the City's continued interest in
having commercial planes call
here. Officials of the airline as
sured them that as soon as the
airport became available, Will
mington would be included on Ma
tionaPs north-south route.
Meanwhile. County commission
ers were invited to confer at a.
early date with a group of local
businessmen, headed by Harriss
Newman, who are interested in
leasing the airport from the
County on a long-term basis on
such terms as may be mutually
agreed upon.
Officials of Southeast Airlines,
Inc, with headquarters in Gas
tonia. also have indicated their
