City Expansion

An election has been scheduled for November
next to determine whether certain suburban
areas shall be brought into the City of Whining

the people upon several previous occasions put

submitted at the polls. Both two and four
years ago it expired in the legislature. The
people at large within the city and in areas
proposed for annexation have been given no
voice in the decision.
Now they are to have one-the deciding
voice. But it will be wise for the advocates
of annexation to organize in closely-knt
coup and be active in the campaign if the
proposal is to be put through, for they may
be sure the interests that have fought annexa-
ton in the past will not be idle Instead they
IL crusade as zealously now as they always
have.
1t is not the purpose here to dwell at length
on the multitude of reasons why the city limits
probably often. The purpose is to urge the
corward-looking citizens of Wilmington and its
suburbs who have an honest, earnest desire
to have their community hold the commanding
position among North Carolina cities it richly
deserves, but which it has been denied by
selfish interests, to band together for expan-
sion and work valiantly for victory at the
polls.
If a greater city is worth having-as it is
it is worth working for without ceasing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-lP)-
A republican Legislative program

JAPAN'S RICE BOWL
To The Editor.

We know all about Japan's pub
lie or international life with ships
and factories as it's implements
but little about its private or in
nermost ways which originated in
China, through pangs of necessity,
and by-passes meat and fuel short
ages, refrigerators and cnneriesa.
Rice is the bred and mesu the
meat of the Orient. It is high
octaine human fuel, processed in
family barrel, through fermenta-
ton of the soya bean, looks like
peanut butter, is used in soups
and many food combinations and
with soya sauce gives meaty
flavor to her food.
This same old bean (not in our
alphabet bureaus) bears in its
bosom milk for half the world, but
instead of feeding the bean to a
hundred dollar COW, they put ii
in a simple device which works
while you sleep. and out flows
tofu, served in blocks like cream
cheese or in small cubes which
enrich soups and other foods. The
idea of eliminating the middle
man or COW had its origin perhaps
in India and is based on religion
in Japan on necessity, and keeps
them from coveting our OK or ass
but not their neighbors' sheep
from which they get wool, cat gut
and adrenalin.
The pickle barrel is Japan S
family drug store, from which
they get vitamins and condiments
and takadiastase, used to prevent
dietary disease, pellagra and ber-
ri berri. Turnips, radlsh and cab
bage are fermented in rice mill
ings or mash bran. At one time
all salaries in Japan were paid in
polished rice. Universities, great
newspapers and other institutions
were founded on rice, but the gov
eminent and merchants retained
the essential millings.

with northern Italy. A France that
remembers Mussolini's "stab in
the back may want to guarantee
that buffer strip for some time to
come.
There were reports that the
French might use the occupied
territory as a training ground for
the new French army, but that
was a matter to be settled in
Paris. Meanwhile there are real
occupation tasks to be performed.
One of the French inheritances
from American occupation troops
is the job of deporting German
populations back to Germany. 1t is
estimated that at least 10000 Ger
mans must be returned to Ger
many.
1--WE won't send these men and
women back until we are sure the
Germans have some place for
them,' a French officer said, "hut
they certainly will go back. That
is one of the things behind the
order prohibiting German doctors
from practicing in the tyrol.
1--WE don't want these Germans
Hitler sent in here to colonize the
country for the Nazis and I'm sure
the Austrians don't want them
either"
Another order forbids the sale
or removal of furniture without
the approval of the French occu-
patton authorities. The action was
taken to preserve billets for the
army. Officers said that Austrians

Japanese Air Strength

When Germany plunged the world into war
with the invasion of Poland, Americans gen
orally, knowing little or nothing of the Ger
mans military strength and having read that
the Poles possessed good air force, were
amazed at the progress of the German at
tack. Day after day, as the slaughter in
creased and it became apparent that Poland
could not weather the attack, we were asking
each other, in alarm and CONSERVATION, 'What
: has become of the Polish planes; why don't
they get into action; what are they waiting
tor?" or questions of similar import and igno-
rance.
The truth was that the Germans moved so
fast, once they were in action, the Polish air
force was caught on the ground and DESTROYED
before 1t had chance to warm up its motors
Now we are asking approximately the same
questions about the Japanese air force on the
nome islands, but in a congratulatory vein
and are answering them out of hand. with
little more actual knowledge of the true sit
uatlon than we had of the Polish air force

Maybe Suzuki is right in claiming that JAP
anese plane plants, moved inland or under
ground, are turning out more and better
planes than Japan ever had before Maybe
the actual number of first line Japanese war
planes is much larger than we have gathered
from recent dispatches. We don't know. and
are not liable to learn. Our own attack forces
closing in on Japan are not telling because
if they actually know they do not want the
japanese to know they know.
But there is one answer we offer ourselves
which probably approxinates the truth. We
may assume the japanese air force is ground

line and oil, Japan's main petroleum sources
having been cut off by the ever tightening
blockade our Navy has set up And another
reason, which appears reasonable is that
