The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1945-11-04
Hospitality Day

Twenty.seven churches Of Wilmington are to-
day demonstrating spirit Of unity that the
community's business and civic organizations
would do well to initiate when called upon
for concerted action on projects affecting the
development, welfare and prosperity Of the
area
It is hospitality day at the churches for
some seven hundred Netherlands Marines
training at Camp Davis. Committees from all
twenty-seven churches are to meet the Ma
rines at Seventeenth and Market, lake them
to the church Of their choice for the morning
preaching service, after which they will 60
home with Wilmington worshippers for dinner
and an afternoon junket by automobile. Be-
tween q and o'clock they will be taken by
their hosts to the USO center, Second and
Orange, where transportation will be provided
for the return trip TO camp.
1t is splendid project which will not fail
to impress the visiting Marines and spread
the reputation OF the city for friendliness and
hospitality to strangers wherever the Marines
travel. Equally valuable will be the sense Of
having done good deed for all Wilmington
ians participating.

gard as democratic only the leaders ana the

4 am sure that our Russian allies believe
honestly and sincerely that the only way TO

not keeping their pledged word and they ap'

Beyond question much of the distrust that
has existed between Moscow and Washington
has been due to their separate understanding
OF words. Because it has been the policy OF
this government to recognize military demo-

own understanding Of democracy and let the
rest OF the world enjoy theirs.

acknowledgement

The labor management conference sched-
uled to open in Washington tomorrow will sue
coed in bringing peace only if both sides in
woke Cancellation and are willing to compro-
mise issues on which agreement is impos-
sible. There can be no success if either side
is dictatorial and unyielding.
1t is not certain what part the government
can take in the discussions before the con-
ference. The chief issue will be collective bar
gaining. That means labor's right to deal with
management, not only on wage but all other
issues and is fundamentally matter in which
the government has no part. But it is up to
Congress independently to take whatever ac-
ton is necessary to outlaw strike which are
so seriously retarding reconversion.
Obviously if this done before the labor-man-
agement conference adjourns agreement be-
tween the chief disputants, that is to say the
labor leaders and industrial leadership, will
be materially nearer and easier of accomplish
ment.

Navy To Berth Ships

The Navy has announced plan to berth
1000 Of its ships in the country's ports AS
signments are to be by categories OF shlps
and space available. One ship in the nest
is to have crew charged with maintenance
Of the other ships. The announcement lnol-
Gates that Norfolk Newport News ana CHARLES
ton will be used.
Why not get busy at once for nest
here?
The Star-News last week proposed mat mas
much as no port could accommodate tne Heet
Wilmington 20 about to have lew vessels
assigned to the Cape Fears available port
This word from the Navy Department offers
n prime Incentive for the city's leadership to
get busy.
Half a dozen destroyers could be oerthed
here and in view Of the hospitality extended
officers and crews Of the ships here for the
Navy day celebration. it is obvious tnat the
maintenance crew would be welcome.
Incidentally, wilmington is advantageously
situated for any ships to join the fleet in an
emergency.

CITY Extension Gains Favor

Present indications, following the heavy reg
istration on the final day set aside for that
purpose, are that the November special cleo
ton to annex contiguous suburbs will show a
majority vote for this vital proposition.
Once this is done, Wilmington win enjoy
advantages long denied because OF the mar
row city limits and failure of the Census and
the business world in general to recognize
the population just beyond those boundaries
which in all other ways is part of the
city, doing business, practicing professions,
shopping and marketing within its precincts.
The city which mad practically no popula-
ton increase for many years cannot fall to
enjoy greater consideration in all quarters
when it is able to show an eleven thousand
increase, which will be of as great benefit
to jewellers in the suburbs as in the present
city.
There has been some thought that services
Of the areas up for annexation cannot be In
stalled quickly. The belief is in error. Surveys
show that all pipe and valves for sewer and
additional water mains are available the
work is scheduled to start not later than jan
uary /, next In addition to sewers and city
water at half the rate suburbanites are not
paving, the annexed areas will receive police
and fire protection, the latter with hydrants
at strategic locations which will bring sub
stantial reduction in insurance rates.
There is no intention to increase taxes, as
provision for necessary bonds and other ex-
penses for the extension Of city services is
in the present financial set-up. This offsets
another point raised by antagonists.
Perhaps the fact that jewellers in the al
fected suburbs will have voice In the city
administration, now denied them, is as great
an advantage to be had from annexation as
any here mentioned.
1t is obvious, therefore, that residents both
in the present city and in the suburbs, have
the duty Of visiting the polls on Tuesday, and
casting taeir ballots for annexation.
Provision is being made by the Citizens
Committee sponsoring extension to have au-
tonobiles on hand for all voters otherwise
unable to reach their polling places. call
to any City Hall number will bring car
to your door to transport you to and from
the polls
1t is urged that employers permit their
workers time Oft to vote if it is not con-
venient for them to do so during lunch periods
or after work.

An Overworked Word

Despite the fact that the new government
luton, the United States has extended recog-
milton to It.
Obviously the change was not effected by
the people of the country. It cannot, therefore,
be called peoples government According to
our understanding of democracy. it is not a
democratic government.
1t appears to be time for us to examine our
definition Of the word and determine if what
we have been accustomed to identify as demo
cratic processes is properly applicable any :
where else in the world.
Certainly it does not apply to the govern
ments Russia has backed in her neighbor
states, but Russia declares them to be the
finest type of democracy on earth, and before
we are through with peacemaking it is pro-
bable that we will have to accept Russia's
right to dictator their democratic processes.
Brazil is undergoing an experience similar
to what happened in Venezuela. Is there any
probability that the December election in Bra.
I'll will follow oUr democratic processes, or is
It not more liable to be "democracy' of
the Army, with Washington eventually extend
Ing recognition to it?
Dean Gildersleeve of Bernard College. who
was one of our delegates to the San Francisco
Security Conference, believes that 'democra-
tic' with its wide connotations is confusing to
other nations and advises that we should stop
using it so freely.
In an address at graduating exercises at
the University OF Pennsylvania, during which
she received the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws, Dean Gildersleeve declared:
1.-THE same words mean different things to
different peoples because they arouse in their
minds different ideas, different backgrounds
of circumstance and tradition and different
emotions.
Often we do not realize this. We think we
are agreeing but we are not, and later trouble
ensues. Words have been, not medium OF
understanding, but barrier to understand
ing"
Noting the grave difficulties encountered nj
San Francisco over the meaning Of the word
she continued:
'Our Soviet friends, believing profoundly ir
the excellence OF their own form of govern
ment, consider it, I gather, the most demo
cratic In the world, perhaps the only truly
democratic state.
And so, 1 conjecture, when setting up
new government In another c'.antry. they re

ing the cause of Federal aid to the nation S
public schools. Good teachers make good
schools In the poorest American state the
average yearly salary of teachers is $517; in
the richest it is $2,e18, and the maximum
salaries are far from exorbitant pay when
consideration is given to the time and study

Furthermore, the less wealthy states do not
spend a smaller proportion of their public
funds for education. The point is that these
states have less taxable property and there
fore less revenue.
These factors add up to national brake

many boys and girls are denied the national
average educational opportunity.

past attempts, the present bill avoids the pos

control of the nations public school system.
