Following the OFLS $ HOH-updA CA- san leadership of 'Elect our friends and defeat our enemies" the Central Labor Union heartily endorsed two Republicans and one Democrat for the Fall N. L. City elections.
 Charles Silva, MA L-1411 and present N. L. Democratic City Chairman was endorsed for the city council as was Frank Kelly, pay- master of the Electric Boat Com- pany, and former Republican mayor of New London. Explaining this latter action the CLU stated that a man did not necessarily have to have a union card to be friend Of Labor but his past record and Labor attitude was high determining factor.
 For Alderman, Republican Alder man Nicola Magro, International L. Longshoremen'S L-1411 was en- dorsed by the CLU for reelection.
 The CLU's committee with the aid of the Boilernaker's L-614 comm. has already made its in- fluence and power felt in N. L. Citys politics, particularly In the results of the 5th Ward Caucus.

HOW Is YOUR
PUBLIC CONSCIENCE
BY RUTH TAYLOR

1t was Mr.. Justice Holmes who
said: THE greatest menace t.
freedom is an inert people"
No dictator usurps power. Power
usually passes by default wher
the old government has grown
weak through compromise with
evil. The tragedies of history are
/ the tragedies of the misuse OF
power. If We compromise with evil
today-then are we undone tomor.
row. 1t is seldom that liberty OF
amy kind is lost all at once.
Hey, don't you know the wal
is over and won?" you say.
Hold on minute, brother. Sure,
| know we won the war-but are
we winning the peace? Victory in
arms did not guarantee that. 1t
only won us another chance to
work for lasting peace and pros
perity. 1t may be our last chance.
There can be no permanent peace
unless and until justice is also
present.
The sign of good government
is the fulfillment of the promises
made in the Bill of Rights, the
-Four Freedoms and the Atlantic
Charter. When government is
tyrannical and denies these rights
to ANY group of its citizens, it
no longer should be considered
representative of the people
Yes, it wasn't so long ago we
all subscribed to that. But doesn't
your public conscience twinge a
little?
If we keep silent when we see
a wrong committed, we give con
sent to it, and we become an ac-
cessory after the fact. If We are
silent in the face of evil, we con-
done it, aid it's repetition. 1t is
not a matter of taking sides. 1t
is the coming to the defense of
right against wrong, of justice
against injustice, of liberty against
oppression, of religion against
paganism, of the sanctity of the
individual against the supremacy
of the State.
I'm not telling you what to
think-but | AM telling you TO
THINK and to let those whom
you put in power know your
thoughts. They do not do their
work with the aid of a crystal
ball They can't figure out your
thoughts unless you tell them.
They can hear only a vocal, high
ly organized minority-unless you,
the people. really wake up and
tell them you believe in right for
rights sake and that Americans
don't compromise or bargain with
another persons rights or free
doms. When you keep quiet when
you should speak out, you aid in
selling your brother down the
river. Let the people be good and
the government cannot be bad.
Who was it said, People will not
always have the government they
deserve, but they will always have
the government they apploud?'
How is YOUR private con-
science?

Speaking before a meeting spon-

Most important Of all is the ques-
ton: Would you be welcome? The
answer is an emphatic eyes" You may
thank the earlier HolIanders for that.
They are our best advertisement of
your people. We realize and appreciate
their contributions to our community
and feel that you, "quite willing to fight
for a new start in life" have the same
spirit.
We do not know whether Mayor
Lane had you specifically in mind when
he expressed his desire for new set
tiers. He was referring to anyone who
would make a better Wilmington and,
on the basis of what the Hollanders
here have done, you certainly are in
cluded as potentially good citizens.
AS said earlier, this is an introduce
ton. Now, to Mr.. de Munnick may we
suggest that he gather additional in
formation, not from one but many
sources, on Wilmington and it's sur
rounding territory as a new home for
people "still full of pep and energy"
After thorough consideration, if the
reaction of your group is favorable,
Why not select and send a representa-

would welcome you, make all it's facili-

information for your final decision.
Then, there is the problem of immigra-
ton quotas. It might be advisable for
your emissary or delegation to call on
your representative in Washington for
Qualification and assistance. Don't be
too hasty. Even though Europe's pres
ent conditions discourage one to tarry
in seeking a better life, too much speed

yours may endanger it later.
To Wilmingtonians, we ask hat
give this new proposal for great
er agricultural development every con-
.sideration, that we place ourselves in
position to help these Hollanders, d.
'ect victims of a war we helped fight
and win to restore human freedom and

Proves Gala Affair AT

In one of the final dances to be
given b ythe local USO, the Corps
men and the Medical battalion at
Camp Lejeune were honored last
night with a "Stretcher Strut" in
the club rooms, second and Orange
streets.
The hall was decorated in white
with huge crosses displayed, along
with cutouts of Corpsmen and
other naval personnel.
A large crowd was on hand at
he event, sponsored by Group
six. USO h~ostesses, chairmaned by
Bobbie Scheer. Marines of the
First Marine brigade, newly-re-
turned to Camp Lejeune, compris-
ed a large percentage of the dane
ers.
Featured on the evenings festi-
vities was an old fashioned South
ern fish-fry on the patio. In this the
USO was assisted by the colored
Ebenezzer Baptist church. The
Harlem Jupileers quartet, accom-
panied by a guitar. provided old

given before the closing event-the

people, but still full of pep and en-
ergy, quite willing to fight for a
new start in life.
Of course, if may be, that your
Mayor does not have such settlers
in mind. However, if these folks
are given a chance to get on their
feet again, they will prove to be
good and striving members of your
community. They all are experience
ed in their particular line and no
doubt willing to do their bit in
building up a greater and prosper
Gus Wilmington, as Mr.. Lane has
in mind.
Your climate seems to me ideal
for the cultivation Of bulbs, but the
great question is the soil OF course.
Bulbs need a more or less sandy
soil, which dries quickly and not
a heavy rich clay. The bulb ex-
ports form an important item on
Hollands list of exports. If it were
possible to grow bulbs in your soil
then this would mean a new feature
for Wilmington. Your climate will
permit an al.-year round crop, /
should say.
I have lived some twenty years
in the U. S. and am now also one
of the many war victims of Hol-
land. My two sons have recently
been trained in the Netherlands

Should your Mayor, or in general
some Wilmingtonians feel like max
ing a move with a view of bringing
a number OF Holland settlers over
to your city, please let them COM
municate with me. If you will be
good enough 10 place this sugges-
ton, in n way or another, before
the citizens Of your town, l shall
be much obliged and wish to thank
you in advance for your interest
and help.
Will you kindly acknowledge re-
