Those Who Paid The Bill

October marks the beginning of several
weeks of solemn ceremonies in Hometown
U. S. A.. throughout the land. For it is this
month that the Army's Operation Taps began
it's vast reburial program under which more
than $50, 900 war dead will be returned to
home soil from overseas graves in the Pacific
and in Europe.
It is most fitting in these troubled days
of the Cold Wars that we give profound
thought to the "boys who didn't come home
to the men who paid the bill for peace, which
is in several ways further away now than 1t
was when they laid down their lives.

For the first time since 1920,
the price of wheat in Chicago
has topped SO a bushel. The fig
ure may serve as a symbol of
our present food crisis. Droughts
in the United States and Europe
have reduced crop yields in im-
portant food : producing coun-
tries, so that, while demands for
American exports are higher
than anticipated, available sup
plies r reduced. The inevitable
pressure on prices has been in
tensified by low-margin specu-
lation in grain futures.
Thus, while the country's i'm
mediate food goal has been set
as a saving Of 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els of grain for export to hungry
Europeans, Americans carnot
lose sight of the fact that even
if that target is met, the loreer,
range problem of high food
prices will remain. 1t is not a
porblem that can be entirely
solved by appeals for voluntary
cooperation. A Jews item from
Newburyport, Mass, reporting
prices at peak levels six months
after the Newburyport plan for
voluntary reductions was hatch
ed, dramatizes the Ineffective
ness OF a previous such appeal

ReVeille For RevelerS

But, like Italy, she can only get
wheat to feed her people, coal,
most of her petroleum, certain
raw m material and special
equipment for her factories, by
laying dollars or gold on the
line. There is hardly a nation
left in the world, except the
United States, that can pay for
French goods with dollars.
American purchases in France
are relatively trivial. And since
France, again like Italy, can
only get coal and wheat for dol
lars, the French economy
simply cannot operate at all
without dollar loans to cover the
monthly deficits for the present.
This is the important thing to
understand. The commodities
bought with dollars are SO vital
that without them, not merely
Frances trade with us, but the
whole of Frances economic life
will come to an almost dead
stop. Obviously this must occur,
if there is only half enough
bread for the people and half
enough coal for the factories.
What is worse, the process
will by no means end there. If
the economic life of France and
Italy grinds to a stop, the Brit
ish, the South Americans, the
people of the Benelux countries,
the Mexicans, the Canadians
and the rest, will be unable
either to sell to or buy from
France and Italy. Thus these
precarious economies will also
be knocked out of killer. The
economic disease will spread
like a new black death, carry
ing with it always tn e. same
hunger and the same social dis
ruption.
Even if such matters had
been understood in the seven
teenth century, the British in
their distant island would no
doubt have thought themselves
immune when the great Euro
pean epidemic of the bubonic
plague first declared itself in
distant Russia. But they were
not. Nc more shall we be i'm
from this new economic
plague if we permit it to gain
impetus.

best trading partner, is already
beginning to suffer from the

Excuse Refuted

When a delegation of more than 100 Pen.
der and Onslow county citizens appeared
before Governor Cherry and A. H. Graham
chairman Of the Highway commission, re
Gently and requested the paving of the
Maple Hill road it was told that construction
OF the project would not be advisable during
the winter months.
1t is not a good engineering practice they
were informed, to lay bituminous surfacine
during cold weather.
Yet, time and again, reports of awards Of
sorlaclng contracts are received here, from
the Highway commissions Raleigh office.
We presume that this work will be started
within the next few weeks and continue
through the winter months.
Latest example is award of contract for
grading, structures and surfacing of 8.4
miles in Duplin county. This project is not
far from the Burgaw to Jacksonville one,
completion of which was sought by the
Pender-Onslow delegation.
While the Star is glad to learn that the
Duplln area in need of improvement of the
highway from N. c.. Al east to the Onslow
county line will soon receive this betterment,
the TACT that it apparently will be paved
during the winter does not lear out the
statements given to the delegation by Mr..
Graham. If this road can be surfaced during
the colder months, why can't the Burgaw-
Jacksonville one receive similar treatment?
Despite the well-founded appeal of the
large group which called on the Governor
and Mr.. Graham, it made little progress to-
ward its goal of paving of the % miles of
the important road. 1t received two prom
Uses. z
One was that the Improvement would be
carried out next spring. The other was that
the Highway forces would keep a close eye
on the highway to see that it is kept passable
during the winter months. Southeastern
North Carolina has received a tremendous
amount OF rain in recent weeks and we are
wondering about the condition of the Bur-
gaw-Jacksonville road, grading of which was
completed several months ago.
The first closing of this highway by the
weather should be the signal for formation
of another delegation to call on Governor
Cherry and Mr.. Graham in Raleigh. Irked
by wears of official indifference, the hum
dreds of residents of the Maple Hill section
and adjoining countryside certainly nave a
good case n the right to make their de-
Jaro,pIc nc STRONG as possible.
Meanwhile, we shall continue to wonder
now the state can pave some roads in winter
and refuse to improve this one. The excuse
given the delegation is refuted at each high
way suYfecing contract letting.

communal fair or feast rather
like the revels the old Flemish

intent upon the good things

greedy to drink down the good

In these reports from Europe.
the major emphasis has been
placed, as it should be placed,
upon the political and strategic
threats arising from the Euro

Big Business And War

1t may be hoped that Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Vishinsky was listening
when Secretary of Defense Forestal put him
right. on a ~favorite line of Communist propa-
ganda. The idea that American big business
is fomenting war, said Mr.. Forrestal, is
utter nonsense" And he proceeded to prove
his point so that even a Communists con-
~victions might be slightly shaken.
One could take issue, perhaps, with some
of the secretary's statements. When he says
that there is mot the slightest degree of his
torical support for the idea that business
men have precipitated wars between great
nations he may be technically correct. But
if some businessmen in the past have not en-
couraged war and contributed knowingly
to aggressive efforts, then the Allied military
of the Far~ben-industrie executives in Ger
many.
Mr.. Forrestal certainly canno be chal-
lenged when he points out that men threw
rocks at one another long before there were
industrialists or business managers. History
is on his side when he says tina. Napoleon
and his wars were the offspring of revolu-
ton, not capitalistic goading.
Surely any industrialist or. Wall Street
banker can look about him and see that war
is not profitable, even though Americas
factories were not bombed to rubble in the
recent conflict. There is no lasting prosperity
in producing the implements of destruction.
Bombs and shells, guns and bullets, tanks
and bombers are dependable and short
lived. But while they exist they sow the
ruin which is the enemy of prosperity.
The big businessman can feel the effect
of wars destruction in his own affairs. He
can remember the high taxes, as we'll as the
high profits of wartime. He can remember
the necessarily wasteful process of CONVEX
sion and reconversion. He can take a look
at the size of the national debt. He can re-
call that the last war cost more than $240,-
600, 900 a day. He can guess what another
would cost, and what taxes his business
would pay then.
The businessman can look at some of the
basic industries of England and France.
And he can ask himself what guarantee he
has that, if he seeks and gets war, he will
not be inviting socialism to move in here
and stay, whether America won or lost the
war.
Another war would be in our own front
ward, and certainly it would be a war of
unprecedented destruction. Even If Ameri-
ca won it, big business would stand to lose.
A man who has brains enough to head a
big business surely has brains enough to see
that.
American business today is building and
Expanding toward the only sensible goal
of commemorative production OF goods which
will maintain and increase buying power, re-
| pair the ravages of war, and create an ever

tators is the United States sup.
posed to put up with before il
begins to get mad?
The question is raised by the
two-and-a-half = year record oil
gratuitous insults to this govern
ment by Marshal Tito's Federal
Peoples Republic of Yugoslavia
= Familiarity known to the CPS
at Trieste as "The Jugs
Against the background of the
admittedly touchy situations at
Trieste and in Greece, there has
been a long list of incidents that
have worn U. S. diplomatic
nerves raw, trying to keep the
peace.
In all fairness, it must be ad-
mitted that the American record
is not perfect. During the war,
the late Mayor LaGuardia of
New York, in broadcasts
to Italy, promised that Trieste
and Venezia Giulia would re-
main Italian. That made the
Yugoslavs sore, and right after
We Day, Tito's forces moved up
to take over, with many border
Incidents.
Then U. S. military govern
ment officials in Germany made
tne mistake of arming Yugoslav
guards in displaced person
camps. They called themselves
the Royal Yugoslav Army and
apparently Matched a plot to
overthrow Tito. Secretary of
State Byrnes ordered this bust
ness broken up, But there has
been interminable delay in
screening and repatriating the
70, 900 Yugoslav nations still held
in British and American zones
in Germany and Austria. That
has not helped.
On top Of such major issues,
an American embassy guard in
Belgrade got tanked up one
night, swiped a jeep, drove it
over the curb and killed a Yugo-
slav officer. Diplomatic lmmun-
ity was claimed for the guard,
named William Wedge, but he
was sentenced to eight years in
prison and fined $4,000, as yet
unpaid.
In July, 1916, two Yugoslav
officers were killed in a patrol
clash in the U. S. zone of Vene-
zia Giulia, where the Yugoslavs
had no business. Such things
don't promote friendship any
place.
On July 2, U. S. Maj. Richard
Coombs was declared persona
non grata by the Jugs. The
charge was that he had inter-
fered with the arrest of a Yugo-
slav who had made an anti-Tito
speech at an American Memo
rial Day rally.
Later that month, Leo Hoch-
