definite need for a number of
years.
The Indian tribes are presented
by the author according to chro-
nology of discovery and early con
facts. The meeting of the Indians
with the Spanish under De Soto
and Juan Pardo, the English I'M
Ger Sir Walter Raleigh, the story
O. the Lost Colony, the decline of
the Coastal Tribes following their
contact with their white ~neIglbors,
the history OF the Tuscarora, the
Piedmont Tribes, the CataWba, the
Cherokee and their removal west
in 1886, are all told with a keen
sense of justice to the Indian ard
white race. The chapter, Notes
Oh Indian Life" affords an init
mate glimpse of the manners,
customs, d., diversions, re-
ligious beliefs and treatment of
diseases of the Indians.
The author in his portrayal of
the character and manner of liv-
ing of the American Indian in
North Carolina has recorded nu-
merous authentic descriptions and
experiences of the early explorers
and pioneers in their contacts with
the Indians of this area before

Communism In Labor Unions

because of the level-headed attitude of
North Carolina management and labor.
After the Communists were ousted, the
affected area enjoyed, with the excep-
ton of the depression period, its great
est of all prosperity.
We believe that the two big groups
of industry are capable of keeping Com
munism out again.
But this time they ma have a pow
erful weapon.
1t is the proposed omnibus labor
measures, approved by the House and
Senate and now being drafted into COM
promise form by conferees. If enacted
into law, they would deny certificatlon
and collective bargaining rights to any
union with Communists in it's official
ranks.
Under such a law-and CLIO Off
cials are fearful of it's application to
the Reynolds union-the company
might be within its legal rights to re-
fuse to bargain with the local.
The right to bargain is n OF the
greatest of all union privileges. No or
ganization is going. to give it up for the
sake of a few of Moscow's agents within
it's leadership. And unions now free of
such have nothing to fear from the pro-
posed law. But those which have been
letting Communists set their policies
and lead them, may have to clean house.
And such will be a blessing for the
American labor movement.
Perhaps, if the certified statements
of the Twin City newspapers are taken
as official, that city may be one OF the
first testing points of the proposed law.
If it is, then it's press deserves the
thanks of those conscientiously anXi-
Gus, to maintain labor peace, and when
that isn't possible, confine any conflict
to clear issues and not turn to deeply
dangerous political mes inspired from
the Kremlin or one of its numerous
field offices.

Britain and Tobacco

North Carolina and other tobacco
farmers are facing a threatened COL
lapse of the 1947 market because Great
Britain, with no warning and after leaf
quotas were set, intends to reduce its
annual purchases by at least rs per cent.
Realizing this, Congressman from
the affected areas have suggested that
the English might find it possible to
make financial arrangements to buy a
normal amount of the product this year.
Thus the shock would be buffeted
and drastic curtailments could be met
next year with a corresponding cut in
acreage quotas.
The position of the English can be
understood in this matter. They took
the step to conserve more dollars to buy
the absolute necessities of life. But
what is so difficult to comprehend is
the fact that their action caught thou
sands of farmers unaware with the re-
suit that they have gone ahead and
prepared for a humber crop. Because
Great Britain did this, it is obvious that
it owes some responsibility to the leaf
producer. The best way to meet it is
to try to arrange, through the Com
modify Credit corporation, to buy it's
normal supply this year. It has been
reported that TIE British "acted in good
faith" By helping ease the blow to
the market by making adequate finan-
cial arrangements will prove that state
ment is correct.

Rain Control

1t is reported that Soviet scientists,
who have had pretty good luck in per-
suading clouds to produce rain, are now
working on a scheme for making it stop
raining. The idea, says a Russian news
paper, lis approaching reality
Well, maybe the elements are going
to be removed from the class of IN
comfortable things. Maybe, in a short
time, the rain won't fall on the just
and unjust alike. Wonderful. But it's
hard to keep the enthusiasm from being
touched with melancholy.
Isn't it a pity that science so far
has made no Roadway in controlling
human c~ussedness: Somehow it seems
a lot more important to prevent push
button war than to produce push-button
rainfall.

Don't Be Fooled By Crowds

With hot weather finally making its
appearance, Wilmington's inviting
beaches are fast taking on their annual
role as hosts to innumeraDle recrea-
tion-seeking visitors.
Last Sunday saw an excellent turn
out with the principal resorts accom-
modating large crowds. Estimates OF
the week-end's throngs ranged INTO
many thousands. Pictures showed the
strands sprinkled heavily with sun
Ibathers and the surf well dotted with
hundreds Of other people.
It is quite logical that one should
receive the impression, from this and
other publicity, that it may not be easy
to find housing and other accommoda-
tons at the resorts.
But such is not the case. And for
the benefit of upstate residents con-
templating a vacation at Wrlghtsville,
iCarolina or other beaches, an eXplana-
ton Of the situation appears in order.
While reports may say this or that many
thousands visited a resort on the week
end, a high percentage of the number
are Wilmingtonians or others within a
short distance of it. They have not
rented any cottages or rooms and will
return homeward shortly after the sun
goes down. This class of visitors has
mot taxed the facilities whatsoever.
Therefore, ample accommodations
are available for those intending to stay
overnight or longer.
We're familiar with the resorts over
a period Of many years and have
we heard of an upstate vacationist be-
ing forced to return homeward because
of a shortage of accommodations. Even
during the war, when Wilmington's
crowded housing conditions resulted in
hundreds of ~year-around residents at
the beaches, we were never informed
that there was no room for the vaca-
zionist.
So, if the untruthful rumor that the
beaches cannot accommodate anymore
guests gets started-it has in the past
we would like to see the Southeastern
North Carolina Beach association, the
various chambers of commerce and civic
clubs pitch in and stop it as o as
possible. Best way to do this is keep
the interior informed, at regular inter-

Plain Talk For Germans

The German people, like all other
European belligerents of the recent
war, have been hit by the blight of
hunger. But the defeated Germans have
been making more fuss about it than
anyone else. In moods varying from
whining to belligerence, they have de-
manded to be fed.
Now James Newman, our military
governor in Hesse, has told them off
in no uncertain terms. AS he pointed
out, our is the first conquering army
in history which has undertaken to
feed a people which it has conquered.
If, in return, the Germans hoard, strike
and refuse to cooperate, stern measures
will be taken.
This is language they should under
stand. They have been overplaying the
role of an innocent, betrayed people
which only they believe. We shall feed
them, not through love but through
necessity. The sooner they realize this,
accept it, and help themselves, the bet
ter it will be for all concerned.
