ample, have been a British pro-
t~ectorate since 1892. Therefore
the disposition of Tarawa in the
Gilberts, which the United States
Marines seized from the Japanese
in 1913, would have to be a mat
ter for settlement between Wash
ington and London and not be-
tween the Allies and vanquished
Japan.
In whatever manner the details
are worked out, there seems to
be no question where the f'-.eri-
can people stand on the principle
of retaining bases which we won
The settlement is overwhelming

Straw In The Wind

Neglected by many due to the flood
of more spectacular news was a recent
decision by the Court of Claims in Wash
ington.
According to the decision handed
down OPA ceilings do not apply when
the Government commanders goods.
In a meat packers test case, the
court ruled that in cases of requisition-
ina. the Government must pay fair
compensation ever though this amounts
more than legal OPA prices.
Specifically, the court held that
John J. Felin and Co., of Philadelphia,
is entitled to recover the full replace
ment cost of meat Communicated from
him.
The amount involved was relatively
small, $5,180.50 above ceiling prices.
Still, fellow members of the National.
Independent Meat Packers association
have been awaiting the outcome of the
case with an eye to possible action
themselves.
Lawyers for the Department of JUS
tice contended that the market price
or OPA ceilings was all that the packer
could have obtained for the meat had he
sold it. Hence, they argued that the
amount paid by the Government was
fair and just.
The Court of Claims thought other
wise. eve have heretofore held that the
market price is not always the measure
of Just compensation, and we do not
think it is in this case" the 4 to 0
opinion of the court reads.
defendant of course, as a wartime
measure, has the right to fix a maxi
mum price at which goods can be sold;
but when it (the Government takes
a citizens property it is obligated to
Justly compensate him therefor" the
decision ordered.
Those who now challenge the wisdom
of OPA ceiling prices will at least have
the Felin case to cite as proof of the
judiciary's dissatisfaction with the pro-
gram. Critics of the OPA will also be
able to point out that n Of the ma
tons high tribunals was specific in
qualifying the right of the Government
to fix prices as being a wartime
measure"
True indeed is the fact that for legal
intents we are still at war as America
has not made a formal peace with our
World War II enemies. However, ex-
tending the wartime emergency period
and on surely defeats the spirit of
the law ever if it complies with the
letter of the law.

PRINCETON, N. j., October IL
Ifpublic opinion has its way, the
United States will keep airand
Naval bases which we have in the
Pacific rather than turn them over
to the United Nations.
Coast-to-coast questioning of
voters on that issue shows that
more than seven in every 10 be-
lieve we should keep those outposts
such as TaraWa, Eniwetok and a
host of others, many of them &C
quired by bloody battle in our
war against Japan. The average
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-12

Some people say that II we do
not turn these outposts over to
the U. N, we will be tacitly admit
ting that our claims of having
no desire for territorial gain in
the war were not sincere. The
great majority of voters. how
ever, appear to have little SYM
pathy with such an argument.
Rightly or wrongly, they want
the bases retained for protection.
Opinion on the matter may be
influenced by the fact that Pa
cific islands over which the old
League of Nations held control
ended up as Jap military bases
used against us in the recent war.
THE PUBLIC's desire to
keep the bases dates back to be-
fore the ending of the war. In
May, 1914, more than two years
ago, a survey found seven in
every 10 voting to keep Jap
owned Pacific Islands as we won
them.
Some of the islands which we
invaded and won were, however,
British possessions before they
were siezed by the Japanese early
in this war. The Gilberts, for ex-

A Serious Charge

The charge by DR.. Carl V. Reynolds,
state health officer, that the Negro
schools of North Carolina are a dis
grace to the State" may come as a
surprise to many.
To mary others it comes as a clear
statement of fact. And despite it's I'M
complimentary tendency, the statement
win be hailed by many progressive citi-
zens of both races as a challenge to do
something to correct the present situa-
ton immediately
II wouldn't be surprised to find 500
other Negro schools in the state in the
same condition that the Lumberton
schools are in" DR.. Reynolds said follow
ing his inspection of the buildings which
are focal point Of the current crisis
in Robson county.
"The disgraceful condition of the
Negro schools is excused on the ground
that You can't build now,' but that
excuse will not stand - they've been
in this condition since the beginning
of time. It's true that no large-scale
building program could be undertaken
at this time, but they Negro schools)
could be kept in a better state Of
repair. -"
DR.. Reynolds explained that under
law the county health officers were
limited in their duties with schools.
The law provides, DR.. Reynolds says,
that the country health officer shall
make a sanitary examination during
the summer months" of every public
school building and grounds in the
county.
1t also provides that no school COM
mittee or teacher shall make use of
any school building or grounds until
the county superintendent of health
shall certify in writing that the building
and grounds have been inspected and
found in a sanitary condition within
four months of the date of ce%rtification.
THUS, according to the law, we have
the right and duty to inspect school
sanitary conditions only during the sum-
1ner months" he argues. e.. And almost
any building is sanitary when not in
USE" he is quick to point out.
AS a suggestion for the improvement
of this condition, DR.. Reynolds believes
that the full power of sanitary in
spection of the states public schools
should be turned over, to the state board
of health.
1--WE ought to have the right and
power to make sanitary inspections Of
the schools just as we do of hotels and
cafes. We ought not to be limited to
the summer months, just before school
opens," he contends.
The forthcoming legislature might
do we'll to study the proposal of the
state health officer. Being an authori-
ty on the subject his views should be
regarded with respect.
The question of sanitary schools
is more than a local or a county problem.
It is statewide and will demand state
1ntinn.

ALL FARM UNION
OBJECT OF DRIVE
Will Seek To Shorten Farm
Work Hours, Gain Bar
gaining Rights

CHICAGO. Oct. p R The
American Federation of Labor is
throwing its weight behind a drive
to organize farm workers and help
them gain bargaining rights and a
shorter work week.
If the plan succeeds the combi-
nation of agricultural and indus
trial workers could have far-reach-
ing effects in the nations politics
and economics.
Already one ALL group is spon-
soring the third political party
idea. It is backing a resolution in
the ALL convention here to form
such a party, independent of the
Republicans and Democrats, with
combined labor and farm support.
The third party proposal likely
will fail to get convention support.
However, the AFL executive coun-
Gil already has pledged that it will
cooperate Gin full measure" in
promoting the organizing activities
of n of its newest affiliates, the
National Farm Labor union.
H. L. Mitchell, president of that
union, predicted in a statement
today that the AFL, so as to imple-
ment the farm-worker organiza-
tional campaign, will work &C
lively to have congress extend to
the farm those benefits it has al
ready granted workers in industry.
There is not much difference
today between large-scale farm OPP
erations and a huge industrial
plant-except that hired workers
Of the big farms are still beng
treated as second-class citizens"
Mitchell said.
He said that special exemptions
bar farm workers from old-age
and retirement provisions Of the
Social Security law, from the
wage-hour laws 40-hour work
week maximum, and the legal bar
gaining rights guaranteed indus
trial wage-earners under the labor
relations act.
The AFL is going to bat for u.s.
Mitchell said. 1T will demand that
congress change these laws SO that
the 1000, 900 American farm work
ers and their families car be re-
stored to first-class citizenship
Mitchell said his union will on
centrate on big agricultural en-
terprises" rather than on family
type farms. He maintained the
larger ones "often wiring their low
production costs out of the sweat
and blood of hired hands" to the
competitive disadvantage of the
small farmer.
