Second Edition
Southern Ballet
Will Be Given
Friday Night.
June Is

The first Southern Ballet, which
set a high standard for dancing
revues, when given last January,
was just suggestion of things
to come. The new ballet which
will be presented at New Hanover
High School on Friday, June Is
appears to be another big step for
ward in southern dancing.
The first ballet, which was noted
for it's smooth stage-craft, scenery
and excellent dancing, played to
4 full house and it is anticipated
that all available tickets will be
sold before this performance.
The new offering uses many
adult dancers who became inter-
ested in dancing last January after
seeing Helen Rene's first show.
The younger people in the show
compare favorably with those who
bid for professional careers in Hol-
lywood.
The entire Scherezade will be
given This Interpretation of the
Arabian Nights is one of the most
colorful and exciting of all ballets
and is a favorite piece of the Rus
sian Ballet. The second offering on
June IS is termed La Vie Parisien-
ne and is truly dance presentation
Of The Life of Paris as Ken and
Helen Rene knew it. This piece
.embodies most of the favorite
French dances ranging from num-
bers that were popular at the Fol
lie Bergere' to the Street Dances
Of the Provinces.
The costumes bid to be even more
elaborate than those used in the
first show. A representative of the
Helen Rene Dance Studio, which
stages and directs these Ballots,
spent a week in New York select
ing the fabrics.
War Bond Door Prizes will again
be given to adult ticket holders.
Advance prices are 75cts. for
adults and Is cts. for children and
are available at Honnet 1867, The
Young Mems Shop and The Jewel
Box.

Canned Poultry Set
Aside For Military Needs

The War Food Administration
announces that effective this week
February 14) an order has been
issued to set aside 100 per cent of
the canned poultry (chiclrens and
turkeys) in move to supply
United States military demands
for approximately 70,0o0,0O0
pounds Of these products in 1945.
The poultry meat is needed for
hospitals, Army field ratipns and
for shipment overseas. Preparation
of the total quantity will require
the processing of between 2Op and
$50 millions pounds of New York
style dressed chicken and turkey
and practically the full use of all
available poultry eviscerating and
canning facilities in the United
States.

1t Was A Great Victory

/ GENERAL Dwight D. Eisen-
hover reports that the "enemy's
battle losses have been far greater
than ours" In the invasion Of
France and the subsequent cam
paign, the Germans have lost, he
reports, eight pieces of artillery
to our one, and we have "knocked
out twice as many tanks as we
have lost"
The Supreme Allied Commander
was writing Mai.-Gen. Levin H.
Campbell, Ur., Army Chief of Ord
nance, to report a general superb
GRITTY in quality and quantity Of
ordnance and to say that the Army
in Europe needs more weapons
and ammunition, as we'll as men,
to finish the job.
General Eisenhower pointed, out
that the Germans were defeated in
Normandy by fire power and the
teamwork of American soldiers
"and their rifles, mortars, ma
chine-guns, artillery in their tanks
and tank-destroyers." He adds
that the enemy "retreated five
hundred miles, leaving behind
much equipment in order to reach
temporary security in his fixed de-
fenses."
We call attention to the details
mentioned by General Eisenhower
because the American people
should appreciate the tremendous
victory scored by the Allied armies
in the campaign which began lasr
June.
Not only was an invasion
launched against strong shore de-
lenses, but the Nazi armies, fight

sHANGRI-LA IN PACIFIC

The army air force has discovered
a new nation, a tiny little COM
munity, high up in the mountains Of
New Guinea. No white man is
known to have visited it before. and
not even neighboring natives had
been there. Surrounded on two sides
by mountains rising to the height
of Is or l6 thousand feet, the third
side by an impossible swamp, the
valley is cut off on the fourth side
by a jungle-like forest several miles
wide. The river runs through the
valley, which Is about S by 20 miles,
and then disappears, apparently
into the earth. The lost tribe living
in the valley has developed an ex-
tensive irrigation system, army OBJ
servers report. At first they were
frightened by planes - now they
wave at our airmen. who come quite
low and are able to report that the
native clothing consists entirely of
strings Of beads worn around the
neck.
Because the land is so extensively
cultivated, there is no large stretch
suitable for landing, and the air
force has enough to do these days
to prevent 1t from landing troops
by parachutes. But ethnologists and
other scientists will make a bee.

viii Russia Fight Japan?

ONE of the questions that Amer
leans discuss concerns the pos
sibility Aof Russia joining the
United States and Great Britain
in the war against Japan.
While some commentators and
rcolumnists insist that the Big
Three will make plans for Soviet
participation in the Far Eastern
war, there have been hints from
Anglo-American officials that
nothing of the sort is to be ex-
pected.
There is no way to form any
intelligent opinion as to the posi-
bility of Russia's intervention in
the war against Japan. If the
s Soviet is willing to make war on
dur Asiatic enemy, it would be
extremely foolish to say so now.
Obviously, if the Soviet has no
such intention, it is in the interest
of Russia to keep the secret.
The same can be said of the
comment of Allied officials. If Mr..
Hopkins, or Mr.. Law, had any
idea that an agreement could be
reached with the Soviet, under
which the Russians will fight
japan, it would be foolish for them
to reveal any inkling of what the
future holds.
'hAonly columnists and common
tators can risk pot-shot predictions
and most Of them, we suspect, are
peddling imaginary fiction.

the natural place for him." the big
wig concluded.
am not saying that the reason
ing of either party is correct but !
am reporting what appears to be
the general atmosphere. both on
Capitol hill and elsewhere, where
the politicians gather to null over
affairs.
AS to the temper of congress as a
whole as illustrated in both the
Wallace and the national service
controversies we can see that the
former southern Democrat-Republi-
can coalition is working as smoothly
as ever and keen observers predict
that its hand will be shown when
ever similar questions are at issue
in the future.
Just where the President stands is
not yet discernible. But there
again, there is a strong feeling on
Capitol hill that when he replaced
"Dr. New DEAL with "Dr. Win-the-
War;" as he himself put it, he had
no intention of placing the. country
under the care of the former medico
when peace returned. This is the way
one old timer who has supported the
administration on most issues for
the last IL years put it to me:
1.-THE President says he is still
steering a little left of center. He
may think so. But l can tell you
that whether he knows 1t or not the
old ship of state is going to nose
to starboard this session"
And that would seem to be what is
happening If we judge from the first
leg of the voyage. In any case there
is going to be fight to keep a con-
sentative hand on the old ships
tiller.

Lancashire is the name Of
county in England, studded with
many milling towns, some large,
some small. Liverpool. once the
worlds leading cotton market, is in
Lancashire. In fact, the very word
Lancashire, from long usage in the
colorful language of tradespeople,
has come to mean the English cot
ton textile industry, just as Detroit
means the automobile manufacture
ing business to us.
Lancashire used to be prosperous.
Her mills are small in contrast to
what Americans think about when
they speak of cotton mill, but they
long provided work and income for
thousands of thrifty subjects of the
Crown, until something went wrong.
Now Lancashire is having her trou-
bles and is just beginning to learn
what they are. At the bottom of
them is government tinkering and
price fixing.

Washington, ID. G.
AS we contemplate the second
month of the political calendar one
thing is clear and that is the strong
conservative trend in the congress
as a whole and within the structure
Of the two major parties as well.
Many straws show clearly the way
the prevailing winds have been
blowing. One was the Jones-Wallace
controversy which soon became
senate versus Wallace Roosevelt
controversy. Another was the turn
taken in the battle over the national
service bill which developed into
fight against the fair employment
practices policy and the closed
shop. Behind both these moves
there was a play of forces which
marks the beginning of q struggle
which will make the biggest post
war story on the domestic front.
The opposition to Wallace had
many and complicated ramiacations
but it revealed the conservative
trend both in congress as whole
and within the Democratic party.
Within the party it was struggle
between the regulars and the Clio
political action committee adher-
ants. something which is being re-
fiected in the conduct of the party
organization, too. When Democratic
National Chairman Hannegan was
questioned as to whether he was
going to work with the CIO-PAC he
answered that he would welcome
their assistance, but in the same
breath added: land other ihdepend-
ent organizations. The inference
drawn by the reporters was that
the two groups would pursue their
separate ways. 1t is reported that
Wallace was offered a deal by
which his confirmation as secretary
Of commerce would be assured and
perhaps RFC powers left under the
department of commerce, il he
would agree to put safe" man
in to administer the government
lending. This would have meant
breaking with his CIO-PAC follow
ing and Wallace naturally refused.
That illustrates what rivalry there
exists between liberal and conserva-
tive elements within the Democratic
party. 1t is also whispered that
campaign has begun by which the
Democrats hope to pare down the
influence of the CIO-PAC. The
scheme is TO build strong coalition
between the southern Democrats
and the northern big city bosses.

The Democratic regulars" claim
they have no fear of Wallace as a
successful contender for the presi-
Dental nomination in l948, although
they admit that he is the one man in
public life, now that Willl1ie is gone,
whose leadership would be most
likely to unite both liberal and radi-
cal support. But they claim he Is
