and a Healthy World" Yet in the United
States and Canada we face surpluses.
To feed the world properly, not only
in amount but in kind of food IS a
tremendous order. Can it be done, ask
the authors? The answer lies IN more
modern machinery, more lands q
cultivation, better breeds of cattle, bet
ter seed. more and better soil conserva-
ton, larger livestock production, larger
production near population centers OF
perishables, and protective crops such
as vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs and
meat.
Most of these methods are not new,
the authors admit, but shifting farming
more toward food production is.
''The solution of agriculture's diff
culties lies in supplying food to all the
people who need it." the authors con-
clude. "For just as long as great popula-
tons are hungry there can be no stable
peace. The practical effect-wou!1s be
as much help to agriculture as toThe
hungry.-Such a program would spell
prosperity for all people,"
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-05
Russian Loot

Boys who played cops and robbers
in the long, long ago had a motto they
piped at the top of their voices in and
out of season-"To the victor belongs
the spoils."
Of course they did not think it up
for themselves. It was a favorite ex-
preston, used wei and over, in the dime
novels they read secretly in cellar, wood
shed or attic, but they considered it
theirs as much as we later adopted
President Wilson's declaration that the
world should be safe for democracy
as our own.
It is revived here to point out that
Russia evidently has adopted it as a
national policy. It must be so, as Russia
has looted some three billion dollars
worth of non-reparations property and
services from Finland, Rumania, Bull
garia and Hungary. This is exclusive
of u~nappraised loot Russia has taken
from eastern Germany and Mongolia
and does not include the value of labor
by war prisoners within her owr
boundaries.
Obviously, in the Moscow view, al
spoils of war that she can lay hands
on belong to her.

Seventy Ninth Congress

With the Seventy-Ninth Congress
adjourned, it's accomplishments and de-
fects can be viewed only on the basis
of personal bias and prejudice.
There can be no set rule for estimat-
ing how we'll it functioned or how poor
ly.
But it may be said in all truth that
no previous Congress was confronted
with so many problems and issues for
which no precedent had been establish
ed.
If it failed to measure up to the high
est expectations of the people, as 1t
did especially in cases where party
policy rather than national benefit pre-
vailed, it is likely that history will re-
cord quite as many cases in which it
acted for as against the public well
fare.
Any judgment of its conduct now
would be unjust on the ground that its
good and bad deeds both lack perspec-
tive, and consequently are out of focus.
1t was fortunate that the session
came in an election year. Otherwise
much legislation, both approved and re-
jected, would not have shown such
close cleavage to the party line.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Mrs. Benjamin M. Colder OF
Philadelphia is the second rank
ing woman bridge player in the
country today. and probably has
won more individual trophies than
any other woman. While she did not
win any of the events in Bridge
Week in California, she finished
well up in most of them, and was
second with Charles J. Solomon in
the Masters pairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold Kauder OF
Los Angeles won the Masters
pairs-the same pair which won
the New England championship a
year or so ago in Boston.
Mrs. Colder handled the play
of the cards well in todays hand.
She trumped the opening club
lead and led the jack of hearts.
West hesitated too long before
playing low and Mrs. Colder let
it ride, then played the five of
hearts to the king and ruffed an
other club. Dummy was entered
with the king Of diamonds and
the third club ruffed.
The ace of diamonds was cashed.
then the ace of hearts, on which
dummy's diamond was discarded.
When Mrs. Colder led the queen
of diamonds, West was in a pre-
dicament. If he ruffed with the
ten of spades, as he did. declarer
would o%verruff in dummy with the
jack and ruff the last club with the
king of spades.
If West refused to trump the
diamond, Mrs. Colder would
have trumped in dummy with a
small spade and then led the ten
CT clubs. This is a fine example of
trump mana cement.

BY JOHN SKIES

This morning l am in a milf.
For some days 1 have noted,
with no little envy, that the writ
er of ALONG THE CAPE FEAR
has been literally swamped with
responding souls who bring in
great treasures of ancient coins
for him to delight his mercernary
eyes upon. And, what is more, it
all started out with a hundred
dollar bill that is worth $113 in
round figures. Furthermore, he
has feasted his eyes upon one col
lection of old money that is said
to be worth 9 1000 and the man
who owns it brought it down here
to the office for him to see.
1t is true that this conductor
has been unable to lay nary a
grasping finger on any of this
pelf, but at least he's had the
pleasure of seeing it.
But me - I'm asked 10 do some
thing about mosquitoes. l am not
sure whether there is anything
pointed about me being asked tc
wander into the field of insects,
but wouldn't be at all surprised
if there isn't.
The following letter brings up
the mosquito business:
I'm afraid your item has
upset me a little - l would like
for this to be one of those social

A No -Anonyrnous Letter Writer Wishes
SomethingD oneAbout Mosquitoes Here

THE CAPE FEAR guy is the Old
Money Editor.
In the second place, I have not
see a mosquito this entire sum-
mer. Before the Chamber of Com
merce al Wrightsville Beach,
where I live, takes up this state
ment to use as a blurb in some
kind of literature to lure resorters,
let me hasten to say l have had,
though, many a late night and
early morning pitched battle with
those pesky little sand fleas that
defy any screen to keep them out.
1t is not exactly soothing to the
kind of temper I have to be fore
ed along about the time the sun
is dripping up out of the ocean
to get out the flit-gun full of DOT
and try to rout these little nip
pers which are so small you can
not see them to take a bop at
them with 'ur bare hand.
1t is possible that the person
writing the above letter mas had
much the same trouble with mos.
quitoes hereabouts this summer.
The next time l see Mr.. Benson,
the city manager, I'll speak to
him about these mosquitoes, but
I suspect he'll lay a lot of blame
for them being here on Mr.. Paul
Hess, the weather man. Mr.. Hess
has been unduly generous with
his rain this summer - although
he failed by inches to make a
record for himself in the matter
of precipitation curing July -
and it wouldn't surprise me if a
lot of the pools his rains have
left have become the breeding
grounds for mosquitoes.
I don't now the set-up around
here for beating back the mosquito
invasion, but I have seen work
men in the bitches on the edge of
town spraying oil, or maybe DOT.
To the person who wrote the
letter, may l suggest patience?
Ere long the colder and red leaves
OF Autumn will be with us and l
do not believe mosquitoes like
these red and golden leaves. AT
least I don't believe they hang
around during that season of the
year.
Too, this person should be very
thankful that he, or she, is living
IN this day and time instead Of
some so or rs years ago when the
insurance companies wouldn't in
sure anybody living east of the
wilmington and Weldon Railroad
because of the prevalence of
mosquitoes the m~alarial kind
- in the area.
At least we can take comfort in
the fact that the insurance com
panies have changed their policy
IN that regard.
So, with the fortnight statement
that something of Importance will
no doubt be done about the mos.

years, l herewith RESIGN as tho

Wants To Be Friends

President Juan D. Peron of Argen-
tina makes a strong play for this ma
tons friendship by declaring in a
Buenos Aires interview that in event of
another world war the Argentine would
fight on the side of the United States
and the other American republics. 1t
is good news, naturally, but as Argen-
tina has played fast and loose with the
United States and, throughout the war
with the Allied nations tarrayed against
Germany, Italy and Japan, it would be
foolish to take President Peron's state
ment as all wool and a yard wide with
out something more substantial than
merely the spoken word.
We tried to be friends and good
n~eighbors" with Argentina upon sew
eral important occasions during the late
war, only to find that country so firmly
nazified that true democratic friend
ship was impossible. To be sure, this
was when Argentina was under a ma
tional administration strongly linked to
Berlin, and it could be that Senior Peron
has seen the error of it's course, especial
ly as Germany and her Axis partners
were all defeated. But we still contend
that official Recommendation would be a
truer index of his position than the
Buenos Aires interview.
Nevertheless, his argument account
ing for the change of attitude in his
government is plausible. He notes that
the United States only gradually e
ed itself from isolationism. To quote him
briefly:
"Argentina also has been developing
through the various stages of isolation
ism that have characterized the foreign
policy of the United States. In the war
of 1914, the United States was still iso-
latlonist, but, as a result of the world
war just ended, it has now turned it's
back definitely on isolationism. Argen-
tina was isolationist in the war of 1914
and to somewhat lesser extent in the
war just ended. But Argentina SURELY
Will turn her back, likewise, on isola-
tlonlsm in any future war involving
the Americas"
And to quote President Peron at
greater length on the fundamental rea-
sons for closer affiliation between the
washington and the Buenos Aires gov
ernments, he notes that the time for
forming lasting friendships which NAV
be needed in wartime is while peace
exists and adds:
There are only three specific prob
lens existing between the United States
and Argentina:
There is the question of enemv
schools and Institutes. All of these have
been closed.
There is the question of enemv
business concerns. These are being en-
tervened' by the Argentine Government
ana their assets are being liquidated
IN accordance with the Allies.
There is the question of undesirable
enemy residents. All such cases are be-
ing studied by the court, in accordance
With Argentine law, which gives the
right of legal appeal to all domiciled
persons, and every person found guilty
OF charges against him will be deported
immediately"
General Eisenhower has lust flown
to Brazil con vacation" It might be
an excellent thing for him to extend
his flight and vacation" in Buenos
Aires too. With his exceptional talent
Tor diplomacy he could carry these
specific problems" to speedier solu-
ton.

Religion

By LII T. ELLIS
THE LESSON OF THE STRIKES

THE LESSON OF THE STRIKES
Modern physicians give what
they call the "shock" treatment
to persons whose minds have got
out of control. Recent large-scale
strikes have been a shock
treatment for society on the verge
of collapse.
They have taught us the old
Scripture truth that I'VE are all
members n of another; and
that no man liveth to himself"
The millionaire in his palace is
utterly dependent upon the grimy
miner toiling in the bowels of the
earth; and upon the unnoted en-
gineer in his cab; and upon the
forgotten seaman on the deep
waters.
We simply cannot live without
one another. This is an interde-
pendent world.
So this scarce, which has shaken
our civilization to its roots, should
set US to searching for a new and
overmastering basis of coopera-
ton and brotherhood.
Is there any other basis than
religion? Can any motive short of
allegiance to a common Father
sustain US in the strains and
stress of common life? Until the
world gets a firm grip upon the
truth, Zone is your Master, even
Christ, and all ye are brethren
it will totter on the brink of dis
aster.

COP DECONTR0L
PLANS IN DANGER
Proposal To Cut Wartime
Powers Have Been AL
tered Radically

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-P-
Republican plans to sweep away
wartime powers of the President
and end many government con-
trolls appeared today to have been
altered radically, due in large
part to the coal strike.
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
named by the Senate COP Steer
ing committee to recommend &C.
ton on terminating war controls
told a reporter that if he has his
way a careful study will be made
before his party decides witch
regulations it wants, to chop off
Immediately and which it wants
to keep a while.
As an example, Wiley noted
that any resolution to declare
hostilities at an end would auto
matically repeal six months later
the Smith-Connally plant seizure
act under which the government
is. proceeding in its battle with
John L. Lewis.
His study of more than 500
pieces of wartime legislation has
brought him to at least n con-
clusion. Wiley said he probably
will recommend legislation plac-
ing rent controls under state juris-
diction.
