turn, either through force or otherwise,
toward Moscow.
World security may hang on the response
to the Presidents plea.
Our foreign policy, as Secretary Marshall
explained Sunday night, has "entered the
American home and taken a seat at the
family table"
BY fighting Communism through the saw
ing of food for Europe, the American people
will be doing as much as if they were in a
shooting war. They gladly made sacrifices
to defeat the fascism of Germany and Japan.
Now they are called on to make more
sacrifices to thwart the advancement OF
another political ideology alien to their
principles and way of life.
Foregoing an extra slice of bread, a little
butter and meat, eggs and poultry one day
of the week isn't too much to ask. In fact, it
is mighty little when one considers what's
at stake. If the nation fails in this plea for
conservation, then it will be counting the risk
of another war greater than the one whose
results continue to plague the world.

Healthy Business Report

A 10 per cent increase in retail trade
In New Hanover county during the fiscal
year 1946-47 as compared with the 1945-46
period is good evidence of the healthy man
nef in which Wilmington is maintaining
It's business equilibrium in the postwar
period.
Sales and use taxes collected here for
the IL months ending June 80, 1947, amount
cd to 81, 079,6 GIL and were greater by $97, Alb
than those for the year ending June 80, 1916.
And it must be remembered the shipyard was
in full production, with thousands on its pay
rolls, during the latter period.
Thus, while a large part of the war-created
payroll was loss, it was made up elsewhere
10 such an extent as to give the latest fiscal
year a 10 percent greater figure in the tax
analysis.
And, New Hanover did not lose its posi-
ton in comparison with the remainder of
the state.
It ranked sixth, surpassed only by
Mecklenburg, Guilford, Forsyth, Wake and
Buncombe in 1946-47. That was the
same position 1t held IN the previous fiscal
period.
A county by county study Of the tax re-
port also shows that the smaller or non
metropolitan counties were perhaps more
responsible for the statewide 33.5 per cent
increase than were thosr with major cities
within their boundaries. As an example,
Allegheny returned $17,369 through this
form of taxation in 1945-46 while the amount
was increased to $685. 1896 during the latest
fiscal year.
That New Hanover showed an increase
M 10 per cent, despite the decrease in war
slime activity, and retained sixth position
among the states sales tax payers is full
justification for the confidence Wilmington
businessmen have in their ~eommunity's pre-
sent and future.

speech in the United Nations are
symptoms. 1t also foreshadoWea
the fate of such anti-Commun-
ist "Social Democrats" in east
ern Europe as MANU-, Macy and
Petkov. Finally, it foreshadow.
ed the new Communist line in
the non-Soviet world, and espec-
tally, in Italy and France. In
Italy, Communist leader Pal
miro Togliatti, who once, like
the objects of Lenin's wrath in
1917, preached "legality,' has
now told his followers to be pre-
pared to fight. In France last
month, the central committee OF
the Communist party decided
that it's theology must be re-
oriented along Revolutionary
lines, and that French Commun-
lists "should resolve to wei
come the epithet Stalinist."
Thus the pattern unfolds. The
great Communist bid for powel
in western Europe will come
this winter. AS to whether OF
not it succeeds, more depends
on the United States than mn
Josef Stain and h;s fellow STRAIT
egists in the Kremlin.

is dismaying to learn what lay
behind the sudden outcrop of
violent insults directed against
the American leaders in a re-
cent issue of the Soviet "fiter-
airy Gazette" which brought
forth a formal protest from
American Ambassador Walter
Bedell Smith. For according to
reports reaching Washington
from Moscow, there is solid evil
dence that the abuse was inspir-
ed by no less a person than So
Wet Premier Josef Stain.

about high prices. It isn't a ire
mendous volume of letters, as
White House mail goes. But
those who wrote, taking advan-
tage of their Constitutional right
to yell to the authorities when
they don't like the way things
are being run, minced no words
in letting the head man know
how they felt.
Most of the letters dem and

But one ~self-styled "plain
working man" from Memphis
writes, "I'm not asking you to
call a special session of Con
gress to reinstate price controls
as l do not believe the people
would like to read all the ba-
loney that Congress would

A majority of the writer's
seem to think that both price
and rationing controls should be
reinstated. But, aside from this
one generality, the letters ex-
press a confusing variety of
opinions.
City councils, labor union To-
Gals and women's clubs, that
have passed resolutions protest
ing high prices, always send
copies of their "whereases" to
the White House. But, in this
food fan-mail, there is no evil

More Realistically, a Mary

Winning Wider Recognition

All familiar with the works Of Claude
Howell, talented Wilmington painter, know
that award of first purchase prize of $500
for his oil, "The Funnels," in the South
eastern Art exhibit is a we'll deserved honor.
In recent years, Mr.. Howell has quietly
carried himself from the hackneyed-phrased
stage of promising young artist to a posi-
ton of national recognition. That his ability
is most outstanding is proved by the size of
the latest competition in which he was so
successful. There were more than 700 en-
tries in the Atlanta show and 100 were ac-
cepted.
AS Mr.. Howell has painted, his works have
been marked by progressive Improvement.
In fact, the recent prize is not the first one
he has received in competition with
the best artists of the state and south. The
pride Wilmington should take in him as he
wins wider and wider recognition is GER
tainly we'll justified. And his continued fine
works give all familiar with his career
ample reason to believe that even greater
honors lie ahead for him.
