Good Endorsement

Do you know of a better endorse
ment Of Wilmington as an ideal loca-
ton for new industries than announce
ment by the Port City Hosiery Mills,
Inc, that construction of a $780, 900 ex-
tension to it's new factory has been
started?
We don't.
The company hasn't moved into it's
modern plant on Greenfield street, yet
the industrial advantages offered by
the community are so great that it is
building the annex to house a ladies'
underwear manufacturing unit.
In addition, the concern is under
stood to have other expansion plans for
the future as it owns the entire block of
property on which its plant is situated.
This concrete evidence of an indus
trial newcomers faith and confidence
IN our future possibilities should be a
factor with others considering Will
mington as location for new plants OF
other enterprises. It is ample proof that
those who have selected the city are
well pleased with the opportunities il
affords

LETTER BOX
u LANES
TO THE ERITOR:

The report of Major Lloyd car
ried in the moroniHg paper of Fri
day brings vividly to the attention
of the people of our community
the enormous flow petroleum and
petroleum products through this
port.
1t shows the problem facing our
Councilmen. This is 10 small de-
cision which they have to make.
We, who live on Seventh street,
have confidence in the men who
have been elected to the high Of
flee of managing the affairs of our
city. However, we are deeply dis
turbed when we see the engineers
of the State Highway department
walking the street and making
oueer signs in front of our homes.
These are the first ~steps-these are
the reconnaissance agents the
forces which destroy homes are
not far behind.
1t matters not how one loses ones
home. When it is gone it is gone.
There are far too many homeless
people the world over. There are
far TOO few homes in Wilmington
as it now stands. The home is gen
orally agreed as the salvation OF
our nation and the love of home
is deeply ingrained in the Ameri-
can people. We were deeply crate
full that the ravages OF war did
not reach our shores in the form
of an enemy destroying our homes.
But what of the ravages of
peace? Or shall we say progress?
What price progress? What price!
What profited it the people OF
Seventh street or any other street
of our city, if millions of gal
Ions of oil flow through u port
and we lose our most cherished
possession? Are our homes to be
sacrificed for a price? 1t would be
refreshing if the dollar could be
forgot at times.
1Oere is no neeQ Oh 1dooAIiS ~4~
question. The report of Major Boyd
brings out in bold relief that this
is not a matter to be tempo-lzed
with. 1t is a matter to be dealt
boldly with and not just for the
day. We have confidence in the
gentlemen who govern u city.
We believe that they are going
to build for the future. Time will
come and it will come more quick
ly than we can think of now, when
a truck lane through the heart of
a city will be as much a thing
of the past as the One Horse
Shay.
The answer is to build around
and not through our homes. Open
ing up Seventh street will not
solve the problem-it will post
pone the colution. Wilmington is
a city of homes, a city beautiful,
lets keep it that way.

Americans Are Becoming
Antagonistic To Russia
Because OfRed Tactics
Opinion Undergoes
Profound Change With
in Last IL Months
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute Of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Aug. "a. -
American attitudes toward Russia
have undergone profound changes
since the time, only II months ago,
when a majority felt that Russia
could be trusted to cooperate with
us in world affairs.
Today nearly eight in every ten
voters disapprove of the course
Russia is taking in world affairs
and the majority believe that she
is out to try to dominate the world.
American Impotence with Com
munist tactics shows itself not only
in attitudes toward Russia, but in
attitudes in the United States. The
public shows little inclination to
display tolerance toward the COM
munist viewpoint.
Part of this intolerance undoubt-
edly springs from a belief, which
many voters hold, that American
citizens who belong to the Com
munist Party are loyal to Russia
rather than to the United States.
This is shown in the following
poll just completed by the Insti-
tute:
"In general, do you think
most American citizens who
belong to the Communist Party
in this country are loyal to
America or to Russia"
the vote:
Believe they are loyal to
U. S. 23%
Believe they are loyal to
Russia -- AZ
No opinion ----- 70
Doubt as to loyalty is probably
one reason why the public is op-
posed to letting Communists hold
government jobs in the United
States. The attitude on that point
was measured as follows:
"ShouId U. S. Communists
be permitted to hold civil serv-
ice jobs Irregular government
job in this country"
Yes 17To
1NO - w
No opinion IA
4 very substantial number of
people in this country even 60 SO
far as to say that Russia has spies
at work here in the United States.
Whether the public is right or
wrong in this supposition, the fact
remains that its is a widely preVa-
lent one.
A cross-section of the voting
population was asked:
do you think Russia has
spies at work here in the Unit
ed States?"
The vote:
Yes 1871
NO .
No opinion $1,000 - II
Studies on Russia have found
that American public opinion re-
acts very sensitively to Russian
acts and statements by Russian
leaders.
Thus while distrust of Russia
appears to be flourishing st this
time, it is quite possible that Amer
lcan thinking may change sharply
In the future. Polls during the last
year have found that whenever
Moscow and Washington have
patched up their differences and
reached agreement, public senti-
ment has grown more friendly to.

KIM KO0 CANCELS
KOREAN STRIKES

SEOUL, Korea, Jan. l. OD-
Kim Koo, leader of the provisional
government, today called off all
demonstrations and projected
general strike protesting the Big
Three decision to place Korea un-
der a five-year trusteeship.
He acted after members Of his
cabinet met for two and a half
hours with Lieut. Gen. John R..
Hodge, commander Of American
forces in Korea. Hodge seemed
satisfied with the arrangement.
Earlier today, Kim Koo's gov
eminent attempted to take over
the police force, but was unsuc-
cessfyl.
The calmer atmosphere in Ko-
rea was attributed partly to the
announcement by Secretary OF
State James F. Byrne that the
trusteeship plan might be dropped
after conferences between Amerl'
can and Russian leaders.
Strikes, demonstrations and as
sassinations were widespread In
Korea as the year ended Nearly
all Korean employees of the U. S.
army walked out and even Hodge
had to cancel his New Years day
reception. His aide, Walter T.
Smith, Jr., of St. Louis, Mo-,
stocked the furnace in zero weather.
