continued. She declared that men OF
all nations have conceded without
question that the Panama Canal Is
the greatest undertaking of the pas,
or presen, and even the future
seems destined never to offer any
land dividing world uniting project
comparable 10 il in magnitude or
consequence. She concluded her
paper by telling of the new defense
that is being planned for the canal
by the United States and other
American republics.

to learn the proper designation OF resi-

Three are mentioned, whether by
the Star reporter, Mr.. Mencken or Mr.

Wilmingtonite, Wilmingtonian and Will

Dramatically, we believe, all are cor

cause they are not euphonious.

Dangerous Authority

A little authority, in the case OF
most men, is dangerous thing, not ir
itself but because it creates lust fol-
power.
Because a few men were given 9
modicum of authority in the first place
they are now determined to be rulers
Regardless of the suffering they cause
or the disruption of the nations econ
omy they are driving the United States
to the wall, and will succeed unless they
are halted in their tracks.
There is the case of James C. Pc
trillo, despotic head of the musicians
union. He offers such a clear example
of the proposition that, although he is
not at the top of the list, his record
deserves noting.
When sound pictures came into ex-
istence, members of theater orchestras
and other professional musicians realiz-
ed that without putting up a fight for
survival they would have to find other
employment, for which most of them
were untitled, and that during the
search their families would be in actual
want. Because Petrillo had some ability
as leader and the then head of the
union lacked assertiveness, he was made
president, and for a time conducted
himself and the affairs of the union
in reasonably business-like manner
But it was not long before he fell
victim to the aforesaid lust of power
and steadily, step by step, has not only
set himself up as dictator of the Hit
Ter type but enslaved the members of
the union, exercising the right to DOM
nate Americas music and hire or fire
at will.
In their separate fields, Hillman
Murray, Lewis, Green are as despotic
The little authority given them at the
start has led them to seek and seize
more and more power until the country
as result of their activities, is face to
face with as grave crisis as if 8
foreign enemy were at our doors.
There is still margin of safety. II
is held tv Congress. Congress must
enact anti-strike legislation at once OF
sacrifice it's margin.

Dodging A Showdown

Although some observers view the
situation in Iran as evidence that the
Soviet Union is on the brink of aggres-
sion, it is obvious that the present
session of the Assembly in London is
reluctant to force a showdown, despite
the Iranian delegations appeal to the
Security Council.
The case is one more example of
the Western Allies unwillingness to
stand up to the Russians lest serious
trouble result. If this is true, it may
be said that they are only postponing
the day when, willy-nilly, they will be
forced to take definite stand, and
nothing is to be gained, but much may
be lost, by delay.
We read that if the present govern
ment collapses and former Premier
Ghavam ell Saltani is restored to power
he will seek an impartial solution OF
the deadlock over northern Iran by adj
uniting the Russians to equal economic
privileges with the British - possibly
by granting oil concessions.
Recalling that when Russia was ir
dire straits and it was necessary fol
the salvation of the Caucasus, Ameri
can engineers, American troops, Ameri
can equipment built the roads ove1
which American materiel was trans
ported under American troop guards
and delivered to the Russian force
at grips with the Germans, we can
not refrain from wondering why equa
privileges should go to Great Britain
and the Soviet Union and the Unite,
States should be left out.
The United States alone complete,
improvements in Iran which will have
lasting value. 1t will be hard for Ameri
can taxpayers to forget that the ma.
TONS war costs mounted to $354,OOO,
100000, if help like this is to rate
strictly as a gift.

LONDON, Jan. o. P) The

France, and China on the size and
use of the armed forces which each
nation will assign to the peace
preservation force.
The role of air power in the in

COTTON INDUSTRY
GIRDS FOR FIGHT

MEMPHIS, Jan. 22.-(P)-The
cotton industry summoned its 49,
100000 dependents, from field to
loom, today to an about fight for
survival in the synthetic age"
Oscar Johnston, president of the
National Cotton Council, told the
annual session of the body it would
be 'the most aggressive offensive
attack which has been conducted
by a major agricultural group in
any nation at any time in his
tory"
He said the million-dollar cam
paign to combat the growing in
flux of widely advertised wonder
products would follow a three
pronged pattern:
Cd Expanded scientific re-
search.
(2) Great promotion.
90 Lower cost Of cotton pro.
duction on the farm and in the
factory.
Johnston asserted that the ap-
pearance of synthetics and the pro-
motion of other fibers confronted
the seven billion dollar cotton in
dustry with the greatest competi.
ton in its history.
Cotton can defeat any competi-
tor on today's horizon" he added,
provided it is given equality with
that competitor in scientific SUP.
port, sales pressure and produc.
ton efficiency"
Plans to maintain this equality
will be laid during the meeting
here this week of representatives
of all branches of the industry.
Producers, ginners, warehouse.
men, crushers, spinners and mer-
chants are here from throughout
the belt to feel the pulse of Dixie
backbone crop and to make mea-
sures to keep it pounding.

Religion
DayByDay
HE WAS A LOAN SHARK
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

When was a boy in the COM
posing room of Philadelphia
newspaper there was one unpopu-
lar printer who was ostentatiously
pious. He kept martyr pose, and
attributed all his unpopularity te
his piety. I learned, however, that
he was the shop 'Shylock,' lend.
ing money to the men at usurious
rates. They regarded him as hyp
ocrite.
Peter, in his Epistles, had sterr
words that fit this and similar
cases. We read Of eminent public
men as profame, drinking, gam
bling. Sabbath-breaking politi
clans, and yet making pious pro.
LESSONS Of religion.
Their words will go down with
the public. We want lives that cor.
respond with creeds. The plair
man judges his neighbor : and
his leaders - by their deeds. As
Jesus said, ''Not every one thai
saith to me, Lord, Lord HIS
test is the doing of the will O.
the Father.
Patient Father, make us, we
pray Thee, doors of Thy word.
Save us from the great sin Of
cloaking unworthy lives in reli-.

LOwer-COst Houses

The Star is convinced that too much
thought is being devoted to new hous-
ing in the $4,000 class and too little
to the $4,000 to $4,000 bracket.
The percentage Of families able to
pay $4,000 for home is exceedingly
small, despite the high wages of war
times, in comparison with those capable
of financing houses costing less than
half that amount.
For example, the CT married during
the conflict and again at home, prob
= ably to meet an heir for the first time,
wants home of his own but because
he has had no chance to accumulate
much cash and being too Independent
to look to his own or his wife's parents
for help, has no chance to tackle down
payment, pay taxes, interest and in
surance, and support his little family
on his present means.
Primarily, he wants financial indie
pendence. He can not have it if he must
keep his nose to the grindstone in
definitely.
The case of the CT is equally appli-
cable to that of millions of so-called
white collar men, who haven't bene-
fitted by the great advance in pay en-
joyed by industrial workers.
Incidentally four houses costing
$4,000 can be built for $4,000. Four
families, needing homes could be &C
commodated, instead of one. The nous
ing problem would be solved to that
extent.
