Another Oil Terminal

That Wilmington's future as an I'M
portant petroleum distribution center
is an accepted fact is further proved
if additional proof were needed, by the
announcement that Standard Oil of New
Jersey is preparing to erect a larger
terminal than it has previously pos
sessed here on tract the company
recently acquired south of the Socony-
Vacuum plant.
AS the largest oil center south OF
Baltimore, Wilmington will welcome this
additional asset. Preliminary surveys
are complete and construction plans are
under way. Work is expected to be
started shortly after the first of next
year. It will not be so long thereafter
that Standard tankers will be mooring
at new wharfs, which will be we'll south
of the city limits, instead Of at the
company's present plant, which will be
scrapped or sold.
The new tonnage thus to be gained
will have an important part in raising
Wilmington's rating among South At
lantic ports.

Financial Shot In The Arm

Saws one ex-service man: 81 worked
too hard for that dough to waste it.
Presumably there are many others in
the same frame of mind toward the
terminal leave pay they may get by
cashing their bonds in September, but
not all members of the armed forces
feel that way. There will be spending
spree of major proportions following
Labor Day by many Of the eight and
one-half million veterans who will
streak to the bank as quickly as they
can get there.
The Wall Street Journal, which made
survey in nine principal cities, inter-
viewing a couple of hundred ex-servlce
men and women, says the country will
get a Financial shot in the arm" The
Treasury Department however believes
the spending will have little effect on
prices, although it admits there will be
"quite a pressure.'
The Treasury, reports the journal,
figures consumer spending, September
ito December inclusive, would have
mounted to fifty billion dollars without
the cashing of terminal leave bonds.
II billion dollars is added, the total
would be raised only 2 per cent.
How the veterans quizzed by the
Journal will spend their additional
money is interesting One man pro-
poses to have a vacation on it. Many
propose to make a first payment on a
car. Furniture is high on the shopping
list. In Boston, clothing seems to have
first place. Electric kitchen mixing
sets, garden hose, croquet sets, lawn
furniture, jewelry are all conspicuous
in the Journals summary One vet
eran proposes to get new upper plate.
A notable aspect of this is that much
of the fresh cash is to be released
through regular mercantile channels.
AS merchants have not been having
too much trade in recent months. the
congressional action through which vet
erans may cash their bonds instead
of having to hold them five years may
rot be as catastrophe as some prophets
declared it would be.
