dream that needs to be strengthened
with the richness Of worshiping some
one bigger than ourselves. Thanks
giving is the goal Of true religion
and the rloblest Christian saints have
been those who learned to give thanks
and praise God for every action.
Death thus is swallowed up In VIC
tory; failure becomes Gods oppor-
tunity for victorious living.
Isn't 1t interesting that the one
thing all Christians Of every de-
nomination consistently give thanks
for is cross--a symbol that once
stood only for disgrace, failure and
death? Possibly. the most precarious
lives are those which never have
known failure, and we should not
forget that the generations which
brought the World Wars T and II
upon us were characterized by VIII
liam James as able to pass from the
cradle to the grave without knowing
the meaning Of fear. Maybe you
and I can give thanks today that
though the world Is confused and
we are fearful Of the outcome Of the
present, at least we are aware that
we have problems and If we are
religious in the right way we can
ask God to show US His way out Of
them. It Is not fools paradise we
live in-that is cause for exuberant
thanksgiving!
don't know what the readers
personal reasons may be for thanks
giving, but collectively I can think
of some things we might all be
thankful for. First we should be
thankful that we have been called
by God to live in an adventurous
and dangerous age. We should be
thankful that we are the people who
may learn to have peace in, our
time" We should be thankful that
eve are the people, who, coming at
the end Of an flliterate religious age,
are the ones chosen to lead to new
enlightenment. We should be thank
ful that we civilized men who were
lost and strayed like lost sheep have
our opportunity today to give back
meaning to life when we have found
the spiritual values of life. No age
ever had greater tasks or opportun-
tiles.

II Should Be Suved

The news that Federal park
officials, usually so alert to preserve
places Of scenic or historic In
terest, are talking about the pos
sibility Of demolishing one of the
more interesting landmarks Of the
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal-the
115-year-old Great Falls Tavern
must have come as a surprise to
many people. Park authorities assert
that they have been placed in this
anomalous position by safety con-
siderations. They say that destruc-
ton Of the crumbling stone structure
viii be necessary unless some means
can be found in the near future to
defray the cost of restoring 1t.
The tavern should and can be
saved. It's obliteration is not in
evitable. Some means should and
can be found to raise the money
required to restore the venerable
building, which has become as much
part Of the Great Falls Park scene
as the old canal which 1t served SO
long as q place Of rest and refresh
ment.
It is worth saving not only be-
cause 1t has potential usefulness as
a park office, eating place and mu-
scum but because it has colorful
history dating back to 1881. More
over, 1t is an asset. to Great Falls
from the esthetic point. Opened as
q combination lockkeeper's dwelling
and public eating and lodging house
for users Of the Canal, the tavern has
had fortufies as varied as the water
way itself. In its early days 1t dis
pensed hospitality not only to Canal
patrons but to Falls sight-seers who
came by horse or bicycle. Later it
served as a grocery store, as lock-
house and as a private club.
During and since the war, how
ever, the>building deteriorated rap
Idly because Of lack Of funds and
materials, with the result that It
has become necessary to bar the
public and board up the doors and
windows. Park Superintendent Root
says he has no readily apparent
alternative to razing the tavern. He
estimates that from $4,000 to $780,
600 would be required to restore it
and no Federal funds are available
for such q purposes
The Star Is strongly Of the opinion
that something should be done to
avert the passing Of this familiar
relic. II Federal funds cannot be
obtained to restore it. perhaps public
subscription or system of small
admission fees would be feasible. In
any event, The Star hopes that park
of1icials will make no move toward
destruction Of the tavern, pending
adoption Of some reasonable and
practicable plan for financing its
restoration. That such plan would
have the overwhelming approval
and support of park lovers and
antiquarians can be taken for
granted.

Czechs and Trade

In formally subscribing to Ameri-
can principles Of world trade, Czecho-
slovakia has taken a step of con-
siderable significance. Up to now
Russia has been seeking to build a
kind Of closed economy between
itself and the Central and Eastern
European countries within its So
called sphere of influence. The
Czechs, however, In an exchange of
views just announced by the State
Department, have dissociated them
selves from this program move
which may in time encourage others,
such as the Hungarians, to follow
suit.
Under the new agreement, Czecho-
slovakia, besides promising to pay
adequate compensation for any
, American-owned property that may
be nationalized, pledges itself to join
us IN promoting freer international
commerce by reducing tariff barriers
and doing away with discriminatory
economic practices. To this end, it
gives assurances that It will refrain
from entering exclusive arrange
ments favoring any particular coun-
try at the expense of others and
that 1t viii support our proposals at
the World Trade Conference to be
held next year. 81
In agreeing to all this, the Czechs
undoubtedly have improved their
chances of persuading us to resume
the loan negotiations which we have
suspended as result Of their recent
semiofficial criticism Of our dollar
diplomacy" They have since apollo
getically disavowed the criticism,
and now that they have followed the
disavowal with their formal adher-
ence to our trade proposals, it seems
likely that the State Department will
be able to talk business with them
again. According to the official
American view, however, there is no
direct relation between the loan and
the agreement, the latter being sig
nificant primarily because 1t marks
the first time that any country
within the Russian sphere" has In
dorsed principles that run wholly
counter to the Soviet closed-economy
viewpoint.
In q narrow sense, this may be
regarded as victory for the United
States, but its meaning goes deeper
than that. Actually, 1t is a victory
for all countries believing in freer
international commerce as q key
bulwark Of peace. It is not sensa-
tional. Of course, but 1t sets a good
example for Central and Eastern
Europe. Indeed, by the time the
World Trade Conference is held.
even Russia may see the logic of IL
and be less inclined to press for ex-
elusive economic arrangements-ar-
rangements which in the past have
caused nothing but trouble among
nations.

strikes at fairly regular intervals. The

Spain, Couting u. n.
Bid, Hopes Portugal
Will Consider Move
By John A. ThoIe
Foreign Correspondent of The Star
and the Chicago Daily News.

BARCELONA. Spain, Aug. S.
Spain will watch with keen interest
to see what Portugal does about
applying for membership in the
United Nations.
The political situations of the two
countries are roughly parallel. Por-
tugal, by applying for United Ma
tions membership. would become a
stalking horse whose fate the Span
ish government could watch for
clues as to its own position.
Many Spanish officials, possibly
making the wish father to the
thought, appear to believe that Por-
tugal soon will join Ireland, Sweden
and other countries which have
applied for U. N. membership.
But, neutral observers are more
inclined to believe that Portugal's
strong man, Premier DR.. Antonio De
Cliveira Salazar Is too crafty to
make such a move.
Communists Outlawed.
For, like Spain's Francisco Franco,
the Portuguese premier Is deadly
foe of the Soviet Union. In Por-
tugal. as well as in Spain, the Com
munist party is outlawed. Neither
country has diplomatic relations
with Russia.
Salazar is repeatedly convinced,
despite some reports to the contrary
that If Portugal seeks membership
in the world body, Russia and its
satellite nations are likely to come
down on the application like a ton
of bricks.
Despite Portugals white book and
other official claims that it carried
on collaborating neutrality" with
the Allies by yielding Azores bases
and making other concessions dur
Ing the war, there have been no
assurances up to now that Portugal's
application would be backed strongly
by Britain, the United States and
other potent powers.
An application by Portugal, in the
face of likely Russian opposition,
would appear to have little chance
OF success and might force a show
down that would leave the country
In a worse international and
domestic situation than if it had
not applied.
Spain's Claim Still Weaker.
The case of Spain, of course, would
be the same, out even more so.
Spain could not lay nearly so strong
q claim to collaborating neutrality"

with the Allies. There are on rec
ord too many utterances by Franco
Of a nature held sympathetic to
Hitler, Mussolini d. Co.-which Sal
azar was too sharp to make, or to
have put on record If he did make
them.
And Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes might have been talking to
either Spain or Portugal when he
told Bulgarian government repre-
sentative at Paris that the United
States neither understand nor ap-
prove government that suppressed
political opposition, carried on politi-
cal arrests and barred free elections.
But, Spain would like very much
to come at least partially out of
the democratic doghouse and may
make some moves in that direction.
Normally, the country's biggest
trading is done with Germany,
France, the United States and
Britain. Now, with Germany pros

trate, the Spanish border with
France closed by political squabbles,
and the generally unfavorable re-
gard Of Great Britain and the
United States, Spain's foreign trade
is greatly gummed up.
Unlike Portugal Spain is desper-
ately hard up for dollar and pound
sterling credits. It needs them vi
tally to import farm machinery and
other equipment and supplies to
carry on a courageous effort to put
itself back on its economic feet.

TRAVELLERS AIDES
TRAVEL MANY MILES
FROM DESK TO DESK

Although no official figures are
available, Miss Joyce Durham was
probably Wilmington's moving
est" young lady yesterday.
Miss Durham is an employe OF
the National Travellers Aid socle-
ty, and works at the ACL station,
and the Union bus station when,
and whichever demands her time.
She is not alone in this moving
from the proverbial pillar to post.
Mrs. Ray Galloway, executive oil
rector of the local service plays a
major part also, as well as "at
least two volunteers"
Since the Union bus station was
opened a week ago, the two first
named women have probably made
more trips from the ACL depot
Travellers Aid office, to the Union
Bus station office, than any other
in town.
Yesterday being the years hot
test day, when most people liked
to take it easy, Gin the shadows,
Miss Durham alone made at least
four trips, bag and baggage from
one post to another, and back.
