Parking Space For Visitors

The Merchants Division of the Chamber OF
Commerce has done well to start search
for adequate parking space for out-of-town
shoppers.
With the approaching increase in gasoline
allowances rural residents will be coming to
Wilmington in greater numbers than for many
a long day. A parking lot where they may
leave their autos in safety will be helpful
not only in attracting more patrols for Will
mington business establishments but create an
even friendlier attitude among persons in the
trade area.
The announcement in yesterdays Star notes
the merchants committee has in mind park
ine area in the southern business district
Without criticism, it may be said that if the
search were extended to the north side as
well, and two parking lots provided instead
Of one visitors from beyond the city would
be given an additional accommodation.
Visitors shopping north of Market street thus

HerriOt's Clear Vision

For many years Edouard Herriot, long time
mayor of Lyons and former Premier of France
has given many proofs OF outstanding leader
ship and sound judgment.
I-e is the opposite of the implusive, arrogant
irascrible de Gaulle now in control of Frances
government.
If he were at Frances head, the bitterness
against the United States and Great Britain
which has sprung up under de Gaulle would
soon be eradicated.
The address M Herriot delivered at Lyons,
bonoring the men OF his home city killed by the
Germans, shows the clearness OF his vision.
France left alone, he said, would still be

Miscarriage OF Justice

1t is vastly to the credit OF four members
OF the U. S. Supreme Court, including Chief
Justice Stone, that they dissented from the
majority opinion by which twenty-four Ger
msr-American bundists are freed from prison
terms. They had been convicted Of efforts to
thwart the draft and had been given five-year
terms in the penitentiary.
The fact that the war with Germany is end
g. does not lessen their offense Their guilt
is as great now as when they were jailed
it is not Illogical to hold that they are actual
war criminals. They certainly were doing what
they could for the enemy within their sphere
of influence.
instead of being rewarded with freedom, it
would appear they better deserve another
trial as Nazi war criminals.

Legion Endowment Fund

When the American Legion met in annual
convention at Omaha in 1943 it authorized
SIS 900 900 Americ anism Endowment fund. The
following year, in Chicago, the action of the
previous convention was ratified. Now, in 1915,
with 400, 900 veterans Of World War II already
enrolled the Legion is launching campaign
for the money.
1t will be Utilized in expanded activities in a
four-point program:
l. To Uphold and defend the Constitution
Of the United States of America.
O. To foster the realization and to develop
appreciation of the value of the American
way of life.
g. To promote liberal and practical edu-
cation of the people of the United States at
large of the privileges, obligations and re-
sponsibilities of citizenship in the United
States of America.
T. To aid and conduct broad educational
programs for the purposes above outlined
Under the direction of The American
Legion
Alvin M. Owsley of Dallas, past National
Commander, is chairman Of the fund. In his
Mr.. Owsley says: CONSCIOUS
that lack of realism since World War I was
a factor in causing a new world conflict and
by the breaks in national unity caus-
ed by groups opposing the proven American
pattern of life, the American Legion is de.
termined to have vital role in safeguarding
our form of government and its democratic
processes. . The whole purpose Of the fund
is to provide the Legion and its departments
with the facilities and manpower to expand
and nationalize Americanism activities and add
new activities in the public interest"
From the day of its organization, the Legion
has placed Americanism at the top OF its pro-
gram Friends no less than its membership,
will be happy to learn that the same high OBJ
ective is the Legion's goal in this period OF
our national history when so many cross-cuT.
rents OF opinion and effort seek to tear down
the bulwarks of our national pattern Of life.

Editorial Comment
TRUMAN NOT PLANNING

An Associated Press dispatch from Wash
ington dated, June l, quotes President Tru-
mar, the Missourian, that he has no plans to
displace Mr. Stettnius as secretary of state
and this seems to be emphasis on an earlier
statement of the same nature. However, it is
conceivable that Mr.. Stettinius will of his own
volition make way for an amiable conformist
to be chief of the state department, and our
Mr.. Byrnes would answer to those specifica-
tions. What the News and Courier would have
is appointment by Mr.. Truman of south
ern man to the post next in line to the Presi-
dency, and, when there is no vice president,
tn secretary of state holds that post Charles

Reasonable Profits"

The little joker in the Senate bill extending
year. which says that no ceiling shall be es'
tablished which does not, give farmers rea.
sonable profit on their commodities, is hard
blow tc that section Of the administration
which seeks the continuance OF its dictatorlal
powers, regardless of profits.
The joker, in the form of an amendment,
which was presented by Senators Wherry Of
Nebraska and Shipstead of Minnesota, reads.
1t shall be unlawful to establish or main
tain against the producers of any livestock,
grain or other agricultural commodity
maximum price for such commodity which
does not equal all costs and expenses Gin
Guiding all overhead expenses, a return on
capital and an allowance for the labor OF
the producer and his family incurred in
the production Of such commodity, plus
reasonable profit thereon.
1t is the hope of Office of Price Administered
ion leaders that the House will strike it out,
claiming that if it becomes a part of control
act it will prove a spur to imitation.
Whatever arguments may be presented in
the House or in conference when the bill reach
es that stage, it is impossible to conceive any
of them capable OF ruling out the cardinal
principle of sound business that reasonable
profits the just reward of producers,
whether farmers or manufacturers No bust
ness can long continue without them. Subsidies,
as an alternative, are at best temporary ex-
redient, especially costly to taxpayers who
have to put up the money for their payment
The only question, is to determine what is
a reasonable profit. Agricultural leaders, OBJ.

However, the leather industry
was dead in Offenbach for two
reasons: No raw materials and no
way of distributing the article.
So the military government went
into action. Tanneries throughout
the area were ransacked for work

was assembled. Then the German
craftsmen were called in-after the
leading Nazis in their midst had
been screened cut by the Army

Chuck is B-24 pilot in the

From here they had made one run
to Canton and a couple to For

strike to Formosa, and four of the

Neither did the airplane.
They were over the target area
on Formosa when the plane was
hit simultaneously by flax and by
fragments from a disintegrating
sister ship which had taken a Ill
