THE ASHES of LEIPZIG

Continued from Page 81
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-05-02
Paper Mill

Among all industries in prospect
for the Wilmington area the Relgel
Paper Company plant at Acme is by
far the largest.
It would be stimulating to be able
to say that construction is to be start
ed on this day or another, but as yet
the project has progressed only so far
as the granting of a Civilian Produc-
ton Administration permit to the COM
pany. There appears little reason, how
ever, to doubt that in the fulness of
time it will take concrete form, and
the area be enriched by a major in
dustry which will produce employ
ment for a large force of workers.
The benefit to the region, however,
is not limited to the payrolls of en-
ployes, however valuable they are. 1t
includes a closely market for pine
fitted for pulpwood processing, and
should encourage wners of timber to
go in for reforestation in a big way
a matter widely discussed and promot-
ed, but in the past receiving less coop
GRAFTON than it deserved.
Tens of thousands, maybe millions,
of acres in southeastern North Caro-
lima, are admirably situated for pine
forests and incapable of producing other
crops at a profit. Properly planted and
tended and particularly properly
thinned out when reaching the neces-
sary trunk circumference, pines would
be as good as money in the bank in a
few short years.
A case in point is that of an Ala
bamian who accumulated enough CAPT
tai to humor a secret desire. He
bought an immense tract of land some
miles inland from Sarasota, Florida,
and among other experimental plant
ings set out some six million baby
pines of various kinds to learn which
among them would do best under soil
and climatic conditions there. Now he
is shipping pulpwood, all grown on
land gone wild in sawgrass and other
valueless growths, to Panama City and
even as far as Mobile.
Acme is much nearer to the farthest
frontiers of southeastern North Caro-
lima than either of these markets serv-
ed by the Alabama Floridian.

and does endanger international peace
and security, and if it so finds, then
to determine what practical measures
the United Nations may take.
It is not too much to hope that
the members of the Council who hold
that SPANS future government should
be determined by the Spanish people
will outvote the hotheads who do not
tremble at the thought of hostilities
within the country's frontiers.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

Special one-session Master Point
games are conducted at all major
tournaments of the American Con-
tract Bridge League. At the re-
cent Eastern States Championships
one of these games vas won by
Mrs. J. Daub and Mrs. George
Bergman of New York.
In a three no trump contract at
rubber bridge, one might be a
little careless about overtricks, but
in duplicate every possible trick
must be played for.
To start with Mrs. Daub (North)
had nine top tricks in today's
hand, but as soon as the heart
finesse held and the suit broke,
she knew that she had ten tricks.
Nevertheless, she continued to play
her cards carefully.
She ran off the heart suit and
led the king of diamonds. East
won and returned a diamond. This
forced West to discard another
spade. Now all Mrs. Daub had to
do was to give West a spade trick
and she was able to make IL tricks
Or five no trumps for top score on
the board.

Down Argentine Way

Peron's election to the presidency of
Argentina has brought about a lively
dispute between advocates of full recog-
milton and of the cold shoulder.
Among the former the argument is
offered that if the United States does
not extend the hand of fellowship and
cultivate more than a nodding ac-
quaintance with the new regime, Rus
STA will, and as a result get all the
plums. They note that the Russians al
ready have a flock of fellow travellers
in Buenos Aires and in view of the
new communist line in Brazil, as we'll
as the Argentine back-fence caterwaul-
ing at Uruguay, it is up to this country
to get busy or see the greater part of
Latin America forget there ever was
such a thing as a good neighbor pol
icy.
On the other hand, and as it would
seem on the right hand, the view is
held that since Argentina back-slid
after it's conversion first at Mexico
City and then at San Francisco, there
is no reason to believe that the coun-
try is in a mood to throw off the in
fluence of fascism, in any Of it's forms,
and nothing for this nation to gain
by cottoning up to Buenos Aires on any
conditions. There is little hope of sfsar-
ing largely in Argentine trade any
way, not only because of the unpopu-
larity of the Spruille Braden policy but
because of Great Britain's absorption
of such a large percentage of it.
These belated conversions r no
less suspicious in nations than individ-
uals. Argentina, first under German in
|fluence and now under Russian, is es-
s~entially fascist so far as the ruling
class is concerned, and there is little
if any chance Of our influencing the
country's politics, notwithstanding the

Eternal Vigilance

Among resolutions prepared Tor
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States action at it's Atlantic City ses-
sions is one calling for IAN adequate
state of preparedness for industrial
mobilization" not only for the emery
ency of war but for r~econverslon as
we'll.
Five proposals are made:
/. An adequate stockpiling program
for vital raw materials unobtainable IN
this country, to be carried out with due
regards to the needs of the reconver-
sion program.
2. A war reserve of military equip
ment and supplies kept constantly mod
ernized.
3. Scientific research and develop
ment.
4. Placing of Educational" orders
for combat material of all sorts with
private manufacturers.
5. Systematic advance planning Tor
industrial mobilization.
Certainly there could be no better
program for fitting this nation to meet
any crisis. 1t would have been infinite
ly better if we had had such a plan
before the war drew us in. That we
did not have it is the more repre-
hensible because we had ample warn.
ing of what was coming.
For some years before Hitler at
tackled Poland American travellers
whose word should have counted
brought home news that Europe was
moving steadily toward war. Our lead
ers, we'll knew that a general Var coulc
not engulf Europe without involving
us.
It is time we took precautions
against wei again being caught in the
state of unpreparedness that existed in
the late 1930s.

Franco Inquiry

With ten members of the Security
Council voting in the affirmative, the
Russian delegate alone not voting, a
five-member committee is commission
ed to investigate the situation in
Spain with the view of determining
whether the Franco regime is a men
ace to world peace, as charged by Pol
and and reiterated by Russia.
On this committee are the dele.
gates from Australia, Brazil, China
France and Poland, with Paul Has
luck, the new Australian member, Sc.
lected as chairman. A report is to be
forthcoming by May 81.
Interest naturally centers in the
Councils action thereafter. If Franco
and his government are considered q
world menace, what shall the Council
do about it? There has been a great
hue and cry from Russo-Polish sources
that he be ousted, and it has been fire.
quently suggested this should be done
even at the cost and anguish of anothe,
war. But it turns out that the Council
will delay any decision.
The resolution setting up the com
mittee says:
TO make further studies in ordel
to determine whether the situation il
Spain has led to international frictio,
