Two Young Men

Back in his early days, Lieut.. Gen. Doc
little divided his time chiefly between avia-
ton research and airplane selling. When the
war came ne was convinced his knowledge and
experience could be used by the Army.
Early in his war experience he developed
rare qualities of leadership and was chosen to
command that historic bombing of Tokyo be-
cause he had already proved his mettle. For
the same reason he rose to his present rank
and commanded the Eighth Air Force, the ter
ror Of the enemv
With much the same early background in
the air is Charles A. Lindbergh. Although
Lindbergh earned his living transforming, he
too studied the science of aviation and proved
his skill as navigator by flying solo to Paris
the first transatlantic flight and became a
world hero overnight. Probably Lingbergh' S
knowledge of flying was as great as Doc
Titles Certainly he should have achieved as
greatly in the war.
Did he join the Air Forces? He did rot.
Instead he said we couldn't win the war and
returned to transforming the nation, not In a
plane but on the rostrum, as an isolationist,
and besides previously accepting a decoration
from Goering the German air chief did what
he could to divide the country and destroy
its unacceptable war effort.
Quite a contrast, isn't it, in two young men
with much the same qualifications for service
at the outbreak and during OF the war?

Self-Help

On November l the ban on store deliveries
by truck will be lifted.
Having survived some years OF brndle-tot-
ing without collapse, the question is whether
people will insist on having trivial, light pur.
chases "sent home" or stick them in pocket
and relieve the merchants of what is truly
a nuisance service.
Nobody can expect customer to walk off
with tuba horn or base viol, or even bed
reason why nail file or necktie, or even a
or bureau, to say nothing of a sack of cement
or roll of barbed wire. But we see no good
small jar of face cream can't be "delivered''
by the purchaser without serious discomfort.
The war has taught us in unwonted ways.
1t would be a shame if we forgot the lesson
as soon as the trucks 60 back into use.

Editorial Comment
is 1T THROUGH?

Professor Harold J. Laski, chairman and
big mouthpiece of the British Labor party,
said in speech at Copenhagen the other day
that the capitalistic system has had its day.
Capitalism, he said, has been tried in the bal
ance and found wanting
While in the United States General Charles
de Gaulle, head of the provisional French gov
eminent, asserted that the United States alone
has the resources necessary to rehabilitate the
world.
And where did the United States get these
resources except through unashamed recourse
to the capitalism which Laski says is through?
Laski's own country is depending on the
products of american capitalism to pull it
through one Of its worst economic crises. And
it is just possible that, his loud mouthings to
the contrary, many OF his fellow countrymen
hope the capitalistic system will linger on over
here at least until John Bull can let out his
postwar belt few notches.-Greenville Is. c.

Overseas Holiday Boxes

Elsewhere on this page appears letter
signed by five prominent Wilmington women
leaders urging that more letters be written to
our forces abroad and citing the Importance
of getting off Christmas boxes to them
1t is timely call, especially as the post
office has set the month from September IS
to October Is for posting holiday packages.
There is no time limit on letters, nor restric-
tons on their frequency.
The Army and Navy postal service offers
six suggestions concerning packages that well
deserve to be followed, to wit:
l. If your soldier or sailor is en- route home
or about to return, don't send him Christ
mas package
T. Use his latest address.
3No written request for Christmas gifts is
necessary.
T. Use heavy box and strong cord
5. Don't mail perishable foods OF intoxicants.
g. Your package must not weigh over five
pounds, must not be more than IS inches long,
nor more than inches in length and girth
combined.
Don't forget that members of the armed
forces still held abroad for occupational SER
vice are doubly lonely even now It will be
harder for them to hold their chins I'D at
Christmas time. The least the home folks can
do is to send them packages containing the
things they will treasure most, and mail them
OIL time.

Suburban Bus Fares

The Utilities Commission would fall short
Of its obligation to the public If it failed to
hear protests against the raise in fares to
Winter Park and Wrightsville Beach requested
by the Safeway Transit Company which oper-
ates bus service from Wilmington to these
communities. Only by an open hearing during
which all conditions affecting suburban bus
service are discussed, can an entirely fair
decision be rendered.
The transit company petitions to increase
from Is cents to Is cents the one-way fare
to Wrightsvile Beach, and from 30. cents to
40 cents for the round trip. Similarly, the
company asks permission to double the fare to
and from Winter Park-from cents to 10 cents
per ride.
Such advances would mean nothing to the
casual bus patron. But persons having to make
the trip to either point daily would find the
increase burdensome and probably in sope

NO PEACE

We cannot have a peaceful world filled with
hate. We know there is hate in the hearts of
war leaders of the defeated nations. We must
act firmly in dealing with these nations, but
justly and without hate or revenge for what
ever has happened.
Too, had you ever thought Of it, hate among
classes in the homeland now that peace has
come will not work for the welfare and peace
Of our nation.
Live and let live; give and take; resources
OF every kind are God-given and not to be
cornered on by few, but are for the use Of
an; The spirit we show abroad and at home
Will determine the duration of peace.-Walker

Hard Times Ahead

Some changes of importance appear on the
horizon OF the British Empire.
The London government will have to make
concessions to India and in doing so will
loosen its long standing strangle-hold on that
vast region At least dominion status is ahead
for India and the probability is that the fight
for severance from and levies by Britain will 90
secured.
On top of this grave complication in the
Empires affairs there is a movement widely
supported for a new position for Canada. The
people are beginning to demand that they be
citizens of Canada, not British subjects. They
want their own flag and national anthem. too.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King is ex-
pected to present the proposal at the session
of parliament just convened.
This. of course, does not mean separation
from the Empire, but it could lead to that
in time. Canada Justly feels that it can stand
on its own feet. If the people come also TO
feel that they can lay course for them
selves it would be a natural development OF
the present reforms that have popular support.
Altogether, and in conjunction with the TACT
that Australia is feeling its oats, as Austria
liam newspapers demonstrated when tney

The British government is liable to have too
big job for its handling to keep the far

Foster died in New York city in

when he was II. In his lifetime he

When you and l we're boys, we

Jap Propaganda

Japanese propaganda was always efficient
The people were the last to know that Japan
could not win. In fact, so complete was the
the radio service from the Tokyo viewpoint
that although the people had been assured no
enemy warplanes would ever penetrate
Tokyos air protection, the balance of the cap
itals population remained in the city after
two hundred thousand had been killed in Amer
lean air raids, in the vain belief that victory
for the japanese was still possible.
But the story of japanese propaganda goes
far back of that period The people were told
of victory after victory for the imperial troops
and Navy. The middle class, among whom,
were Cabinet ministers and high ranking Army
officers, knew the truth about Midway, New
Guinea, Guadalcanal the Philippines, Coral
sea and other outstanding Japanese defeats,
but even when it finally came home to the
masses that the Japanese Navy was knocked
out and the nations air force all but impotent,
their trust was so great in the propaganda
they chung to the thought that victory might
come to their Army at any time.
There is no reason to doubt mat many
japanese ruralites continue in ignorance of
what has actually transpred and are looking
for final triumph. During the European phase
of this Second World War, Herr Goebbels was
generally looked upon as the worlds master
liar. Certainly the propag anda he fed the Ger
man people was something for his kind of
mortals to take pride in but his best was
nursery stuff compared to what the Japanese
propagandists turned out for home consump-
ton day after day for nearly four years.
