Now Is The Time

Among the most glazing shortcomings in
North Cardinals undiversified manufacture
ing industry is the lack of adequate food
processing facilities.
While high on the national list in the
quantity, value and variety of food pro-
duced, the greater part is processed in can
neries and preserving plants far beyond
our borders. Many, many bushels of the
peanuts grown in Eastern North Carolina
are transported to processing plants in Vlr-
GINA. Some even go as far as California
candy kitchens and the finished product
eventually returns home,
One of the excuses often given for Tar
Heelia's backwardness in food processing is
the lack of diversification in agriculture.
Emphasis is on two major money crops-cot-
ton and tobacco. Growers of the latter lave
recently suffered deep misfortune through
the loss of United Kingdom markets. Every
where everyone is hearing the strongest
pleas for farm Investigation, especially on
those acres which will not be placed into
the cultivation of tobacco again next year.
Yet, the processing plant is one Of the
best of all means of materially encouraging
diversified agriculture. And by diversified
we mean practically any endeavor through
which a farmer may convert his time, en-
ergy and facilities into a way, perhaps new
to him, to make money. New markets will
be necessary in some cases but the process
ing procedure is also an excellent ally.
Already, some North Carolina farmers are
recognizing this fact.
With hundreds of acres scheduled to be
withdrawn from leaf production, Martin
county farmers are planning to expand Gu
cumber production. While no arrangements
have been begun for processing, there will
be at least a receiving station during the
first year. In Lexington, plans for construc-
ton of an egg-cracking plant and expan-
sion of facilities of a frozen foods company
are under way. There farmers intend to
place greater emphasis on production OF
poultry and meat.
If preservation of food on a commercial
scale is to receive the emphasis it deserves
in North Carolina, now is the time. Next
years paintings may be the greatest in the
states history. Whether the additional
wealth in wages and other benefits from
processing are to be realized will depend on
the alertness of the farmer and his bust
nessmen friends in preparing for these great
err food crops.
While withdrawal of the British from the
leaf markets is an ill wind, it will leave
considerable good in its wake if it brings
on greater food production and its greatest
preservation in the established processing
plants, as well as others which may be con-
structed before the next harvest.

The Battle Is On

To those doubtful Of the wisdom of the
special session of Congress opening tomor-
row, we recommend Dewitt Mackenzie's ar
ticle on this page today.
AS he points out, the fight for Western
Europe is getting into full swing.
Communist outbreaks and reports of the
party's considerable reserve strength are the
basis for his conclusions. Although the Reds
suffered in the Gen. de Gaulle victory re-
Gently, they are gaining power in Italy. And
4 successful coup in the latter country would
lead to the loss Of Greece, Turkey and the
Middle East to the Communist.
The danger is SO great that the United
States cannot wait for activation of the six
teen to twenty billion dollar Marshall pro-
gram. This country must tide France and
Italy over with emergency relief, estimated
to cost $597, 900 900. This, in effect, will be
a "test run" of the greater Marshall pro-
gram. We will be placing our dollars on
the skirmish line for the major compaign
against Communism which lies ahead.
AS an illustration of the danger, practi-
cally all French leaders believe their nation
can survive current Communist assaults if
the United States can provide more food for
members of the labor unions during the win
ter and also extend real hope for permanent
recovery. These unions are under full, CON
troll OF Moscow's agents. They are making
sporadic attempts to embarass the govern
ment by strikes in several key industries
but have refrained from trying their power
in a major test. Unless France gets help,
however, they will. May day of 1948 NAV
climax a tremendous nationwide demon
stration which could wreck the French re.
CINE and bring victory to the Reds.
The situation is most critical because the
United States, now winning over Russia il
world politics, could suffer its greatest set
back through failure to help Western Eu-
rope now. The battle could be lost befor,
we bring our heaviest gun-the Marshall
proeram-into action. That most Congress
men and the administration realize this is
fairly well Understood. But their apprecia-
tim of the seriousness of the time element
alone must be emphatic enough to produce
approval of the vital stop-gap aid as earl,

The General Must Be Tried

have taken advantage of the fine opportuni-
ties offered him through his rank and posi-
ton to feather his w nest. If the testi-
mony presented is true, he was obviously
as interested in the Aircraft industry's fl
nancial reports as news OF the exploits OF
millions of young Americans attempting to
knock the Germans and japanese out OF
the air. Witnesses accounts of his conduct
are certainly sufficient grounds for the
Hughes case to be widened into a full scale
Senate investigation of whether high rank
ing AAF officers were in a position to
profit from huge wartime aircraft contracts.
Committee Chairman Ferguson has indl-
Gated he may call General H. H. Arnold, re-
tired Air Force commander, to explain what
the service did to guard against such posi-
BILE corruption.
And General Meyers case deserves the
earliest possible court attention.
If he is innocent, the people should know.
If guilty, then he deserves the maximum
punishment. Just what that would be, in
view of his retired status through a possible
court martial, we do not know. But there is
a Federal statute providing a maximum OF
$4,000 fine and two years imprisonment for
officials who represent the government in
dealings with companies in which they have
an interest.
The civilian wal profiteer-and there
were plenty of them-is to be detested. But
the man who profiteered while in uniform,
who added thousands and thousands to his
bank account, while others were dying for
their country, deserves absolutely no mercy.
Especially is this true when he collected
his INSCRIPTIONS dollars by being in a po-
sition where such was a very easy matter.
If General Meyers is found guilty, then
the verdict should be highly inspirational in
ferreting out others who may have engaged
in similar low practices. And contrary to
what some may think, the armed forces will
not suffer but will benefit whenever prof.
teers within their ranks are given the
punishment they deserve so we'll.

Deeper Channel Outlook

The deeper water outlook for the Port
of Wilmington grows brighter almost daily.
At the present, one hydraulic dredge is
busy deepening the Cape Fear channel from
30 to 80 feet and widening it from 300 to
400 feet. On Wednesday,, contract was let
to a second firm to remove an additional
3,600,000 cubic yards of material on this
project.
If everything uns on schedule, the river
will have a 32-foot channel from the foot
OF Castle street to the ocean by June, 1913.
Meanwhile, the South Atlantic division
engineers approval of a 81, 200, 900 project to
deepen the channel an additional two feet
to "a is in the hands of Army engineers in
Washington and will probably be placed
before the Rivers and Harbors board at
its first meeting in January. If approval
follows on the various steps, including al
location of the necessary funds, then the
ports estuary should nave the additional
depth by the middle of 1949.
If development of terminals and COM
merce, especially regular steamship SEIZED
ules, keeps pace with the deepening of the
channel, Wilmington should enter 1850 with
a port quite comparable to other South At
lantic ones.

Testimony has been given to the effect that:
General Meyers held $35, 900 worth OF
stock in seven aircraft companies at a m
when he was buying airplanes for the AAF.
He transferred these 2,700 shares to his
wifi. in February, 1913, nine days after he
had assured his superiors that he held no
aviation stock.

tried to conceal from the committee investl-

The Wrong Victim

File the name of Helen Schwaerzel under
the list of oddities" She probably is the
first person to be jailed for turning in an
assassin to the police.
Fraulein Schwaerzel was awarded $500,
900 for putting the finger on DR.. Kali
Goerdeler, former mayor of Leipzig, who
thereupon was hanged for connecting a plot
to kill the Chief of State. Ordinarily that
would be the whole story, and it would be
distinguished only by the size of the reward.
But Goerdeler was an anti-Nazi and the
Chief Of State he wanted killed was Adolf
Hitler in 1914, and that changes the whole
picture. So the fraulein gets six months at
hard labor.

1t looks very much as though
the B~olshevists of Italy and
France were adopting extreme
measures as a matter of des-
peration. They had been en-
ploying their usual tactics of
gaining control of trade unions
and then using these organiza-
lions as clubs to force conces-
sions from the government. In
this way they expected ulti.
mately to establish Communist
regimes-and they did in fact
make great strides in both
countries.
However, the Marshall plan
has upset the Bolshevist apple
cart. Western Europe in gener-
al, and economically hard
pressed Italy and France in
particular, have been reacting
heavily against the Reds. Com
munism has lost much ground,
and bids fair to lose a great
deal more if and when the Mar
