Inspired Choice.
Judging by the action OF the
Senate and by the comment from
practically every quarter, the Presl-
dent has made an inspired choice
The attitude of the Senate can be
explained by two factors. One is
the universally favorable impression
made by the former Chief of Stan
In his constant appearances before
committees of Congress when ne
was organizing the greatest army the
country ever had known and when he
was directing the operations OF tnat
army-and to considerable extent
some of the Allied armies-in the
greatest war the world ever had
known. They sometimes disagreed
with him on The Hill, as when they
almost failed to continue conscrip-
ton on the very eve OF war, but
they never lost their respect for
him.
The other factor is the obvious
desire of the Senate to let the world
know there is no change in Amer
ican foreign policy, as 1t has been
developed by Messrs. Byrnes ana
Vandenberg, or, at least, that the
Senate is solidly behind the Presi-
dent on the foreign front.
AS for his own qualifications, Gen.
Marshall appears to have plenty. He
knows his own country better than
military men are usually presumed
to know 1t. His own instincts being
democratic, he proved able to mar
shall the forces of American democ-
racy in record time when the war
came, and to return them to civilian
pursuits in record time, when the
war ended.
Knows World as Whole.
He knows the world as whole.
No other man in history ever was
required to direct the strategy OF war
over so great a part of the globe.
This meant holding his own with
the political as we'll as military
leaders of our Allies. since more
than one decision that had to be
made had its political implications.
1t was Gen. Marshall that bore the
brunt of bringing Churchill into
line with an Allied rather than
British program.
He is an administrator of remark
able ability. If the State Depart
ment, at long last, is to have some
semb1ance of coherent organization,
Gen. Marshall has the capacity to
bring this about. He has. if the
work of completing the peace treaties
permits him, to give thought to de-
partment organization.
That Gen. Marshall is we'll pre-
pared for much of his job is obvious.
But, there is one phase of it that
raises a question. 1t is our foreign
trade policy. The basis of President
Truman's hopes for a better and
safer world, as it was Mr.. Roosevelt's,
lies in the reciprocal trade agree
ments associated with the name of
Cordell Hull, and in the new Inter-
national Trade Organization. This
policy already is coming under attack
in the new Congress. Something no
more enlightened than the disastrous

works, seemed like a concerto for
the violin, supported by the other
two strings. Although devoid Of any
display which is characteristic of
concerto. the work abounds in the
very element which won for the
violin the reputation of being the
king of instruments. The spathos OF
the second movement, the con-
trasting "Scherzo" relieving its
seriousness, and the rustic Presto"
all gave Jean Pasquier an oppor-
tunity to show the fine quality Of
his tone and skill
The execution of Jean Fracaix's
Trio in G Major" dedicated to the
Pasquier group, brought forth
fanciful and delightful modern
istic work. This young Frenchman,

have been the first in the field to

for the quantity. Three works were

Dan Cameron and Fred Willetts,
Jr., young members o f the vii
mington Rotary club, yesterday
outlined the changes they have
noted in the progress of the city
since returning from the armed
services.
Young Cameron, who said he
had seen eight years of military
service outlined five projects which
he determined necessary if Will
mington is to remain among the
leading cities of the state.
Wilmington needs a cultural
re-birth," he told the Rotarians, as
he advocated a Junior or Senior
college for this city.
Another project needed here is
a modern stadium for athletic
events" the local oil distributor
said.
He said the city officials are
making improvements to the
recently added new city limits at
the wrong time. The cost Of ma
~terials is entirely too high at this
time and most of the projects
could be postponed until a later
date when the cost will be much
cheaper" he continued.
Cameron said Wilmington has
the best airport in the South in
Bluethenthal, 'but we must de.
velop a need for the field, before
going too far" He pointed out that
if Grand Central station was trans
planted here, it would not increase
the rail traffic. 1.-THE field is fine,
but We must have planes to lanG
there" he stated.
The Cape Fear river should be
developed further and the business
men should concentrate on heavy
industries for this city as well as
taking a more active part in the
politics of the city.
"There is no need for Whining
ton to start a downward trend. VIZ
may have reached the pinnacle
during the war, but let's keep vii
mington on top" he concluded.
Fred Willetts, Jr. urged improve
ments at t he airport and urged
action on securing t h e construct.
ion of a Veterans hospital in this
vicinity.
1--WE should go all out for this
hospital" Willetts said.
He pointed cut the present pro
posal to deepen t h e Cape Fear
River to IS feet should be pushed
and added that the work should
be done on the east side of the
river.
eve already have some facilities
on this side Of the river and i

let's stated.
Willetts continued by lauding the
work of civic organizations Of the
city and urged all members of the
Rotary to work to build a greater
Wilmington.
