Clearing House For Gripes

Among institutions Wilmington
needs is a clearing house for gripes.
AT least this is what several OF the
city's progressive young men think.
They have noticed, they say, and any,
body can verify their discovery, that
most everybody is continually complain
ing of this or that. Sometimes the
complaint is justified-sometimes not.
If the complainers had some place to
unburden their souls, someone whose
sympathetic and unbiased attention
would be theirs, they at least could get
whatever is disturbing them off their
chests.
Lloyd Douglas has used the idea in
his novels, only he portrays a super
man who always has the right answer
The local men do not think they could
give the right answer-certainly not
often-but they do believe that when
the grippe is a good one they would
be able to direct the griper to the
proper source of relief. And, what is
equally valuable, they themselves could
profit in their own mental outlook by
hearing the worries Of others.
Public utilities employ men familiar
Iy know as trouble shooters, whose
duty is to discover what is wrong with
a utilility's service and see that it is
corrected. These young Wilmingtonians
see themselves in a similar role.
The remarkable aspect of the pro-
position is that whereas we all usually
run away from other pepole's troubles,
they want to learn about them and do
what they may to ease them, or, as
the case may be, point out that there
is no real grounds for complaint and
urge those who complain to forget all
about it.
AS you probably have guessed, the
idea is .incubating in the minds of a
group of Junior Chamber of Commerce
members. So sincere are they that they
contemplate the possibility of main
tanning regular office hours at their
headquarters in the Woodrow Wilson
hut, when gripers may tell theil
troubles in the assurance. of having
patient listeners.
The project is still nebulous. They
are wondering if the effort would BIZ
worth while. The only way to deter
mine this is by experiment. 1t GER
tainly has possibilities.

there were two different standards
OF justice. There was one for the

The other was the court-martia]

The charges against the two
men were substantially the same:

WASHINGTON - At the Inter-
American Conference in Rio de
Janeiro, there will be a lot of
diplomatic lingo about unanimous
agreements, vetoes, sanctions,
procedures and such stuff which
will be hard to read and consider
ably duller than the Brewster
Hughes brawl. But there is one
thing American newspaper read
ers will be able to get from even
the most superficial following of
the news from Brazil. That will
be how the Argentine delegation
behaves.
This Rio conference h a been
put off for mor than two years
for the single reason that the gov
eminent of President Juan T..
Peron has been On probation in
the eyes of all other American re-
publics. The Argentine govern
ment was the only one of these
countries not present at the Next
co City conference in March. 1915.
The Act of Chapultepec was
drawn up at this conference. 1t
recommended the drafting of a
treaty to stop acts of aggression
against any American country by
six lines of action, ranging from
mild to strong:
Recall of ambassadors; sever
ing diplomatic relations; breaking
off consular relations; cutting off
postal, wire and radio communi-
cations; ending trade and barking
relations, and the use Of armed
force.
After the Act of Chapultepec
was agreed to, March 3, 1915, the
other American republics decided
to appeal to Argentina to change
its policies, join the United Ma
tons, declar war on the Axis,
sign the Declaration of the UN,
and adhere to the Act of Chapulte-
pee.
On March II, 1945, Argentina
declared war on Japan, primari-
~, anu OIL 1c11iidl1y, SeCO1lodl1ly,
merely because the Nazis hap
pened to be partners of the Japs.
The P government also
agreed to the Act of Chapultepec.
On this basis, Argentina was in
vited to the San Francisco confer
ence and became a charter mem
Der of the UN. But the Argen-
tines never did. sign the Decla-
ration Of the Uniteu Nations.
It has been evasive performance
of this kind and talk out of both
sides of the mouth that has made
the Argentine suspect in the Unit
ed States and delayed the Rio con-
ference until now.

of this type was put into service on
August 3. It is a fixed and unbreak-
able habit of Angelenos to put them
selves in first place in all improve
ments. They view this innovation as
something entirely new.
The fact is they are behind the
times. Greensboro has been running
trackless trolleys for years. And they
are every bit as efficient as those now
in service in Los Angeles.

Dewey man thus far, and is even
expected to be one of the New

gers.
A contest for the senatorshiI
is also on foot between former
Governor Andrew Schoeppel and
the incumbent, the aging Arthur
Capper. Capper has at last begun
to lose his famous acrobatic tai
ent for keeping both ears to the

ported by Darby and is expected
to defeat Capper. Consequently,
by all the rules, Schoeppel will
also work with Darby in shaping
up the state delegation to the Re-
publican convention.

they have got to live with him and
his very considerable influence
Darby may be for Dewey now,
but Kansas is likely to be for Eli

so desires. If that occurs, the
threat to Governor Thomas E.
Dewey will be very grim indeed.
Dewey is almost certain to have
to win the Republican nomination
on second-balkot switches. If Ell.
senhower has a solid base in Kan
sas, and an active organizer in
Roberts, the second ballot switch
es are equally likely = perhaps
more likely-to 60 to Eisenhower.
Roberts has let it be known that
he will do nothing to "embarrass''
his friend. The fact that he has
remained passive to date is the
clearest proof OF the sincerity of
what Eisenhower has said on the
subject of his candidacy. 1t should
also be taken as a warning by
the money bettors. AS to what
may occur in the future, however.
none can foretell, except that what
ever Eisenhower does will be con.
sistent with a character of high
integrity and patriotism.

Further ~Streamlining

When General Eisenhower was mas
reminding the invasion of Germany
he received regular reports from the
three commanding officers who head
ed the invasion armies. His orders
went down through ranks.
By way of contrast, if every high
official directly responsible to Presi-
dent Truman had a thirty-minute talk
with him, the Chief Executive would
be tied up continuously for three
months.
To strike a. balance between General
Eisenhower's program and Mr.. Tru-
mans, a commission of twelve men has
been created with the purpose Of

to this vital question depends upon
two rather mysterious quantities

the situation in Kansas. The Els.
enhower candidacy would now be
full-fledged, if there were ade-
quate foundation for the reports
that the Kansas delegation has
been committed to the general I'M
der the leadership of the exceed
ingly astute Roy Roberts, of The
Kansas City Star" But these re-
ports are distinctly peeps into a
future which has not yet material
lied.
There is no doubt that Eisen.
hover sentiment is strong in Kan
sas. or that this strength will sur
vive his becoming a New York
resident. By the end of the war,
of course, Eisenhower had beer
away from his native place for
a long time. On his return, how
ever, Kansas greeting to Eisen-
hover was organized by Roy Rob-
erts and other leading men. In
the course of the celebrations, they
saw much of him, and all were
deeply impressed. This was the
beginning Of Roberts's preference
for an Eisenhower candidacy.
Since that time, moreover, the
generals able brother, Milton Ell
senhower, who is rumored far
more ambitious for the general
than the general is himself, has
become a leading Kansas figure
as head of the State Agricultural
college.
On the other hand, as of today,
Kansas is emphatically not or
ganized for Eisenhower. The

WASHlNGlON- GeIleIdl VI Tie
Army Dwight D. Eisenhower has
Just returned to Washington from
his m vacation : inspection
trip. Besides the gigantic prob
lens OF American security in a
troubled world, he has found wait
ing for him at the capital another
problem of a more personal ma
ture. This is the problem of the
Eisenhower presidential candi-
dacy.
Whether the general likes it or
not-and he has given every indi-
cation that he dislikes it intensely
his presidential prospects now
constitute a very solid problem in
deed. A new phase began with the
announcement that Eisenhower
would become president of Co
lumbia un i versity in January,
which at least made him techni-
cally available. Since then, signs
have been accommodating of an
other of those rather sheep like
stampedes which customary
among the rich men who back
presidential hopefuls.
These denizens Of the New York
and other financial districts are,
in most cases, rather like unin-
formed but enthusiastic bettors on
horse races. They want to pick
the winner. Each new rumor fly
ing round the track sends them
crowding to the betting windows
to get their money down the right
way. A great many Of them would
now like to get their money down
on Eisenhower. The only question
is whether this superb entry, gen.
orally conceded to be the equal
ct any other animal in the Re-
publican sweepstakes, will run at
all.

tine governments have patched
things up. President Truman &C
cepted the designations of both AS
sistant Secretary of State Spruille
Braden, who diun't like Peron,
and Ambassador George Messer-
smith, who did. That doesn't mean
that either the Braden Or the Mes
sersmith policy is now being fol
lowed. It merely means thai the
President wanted to make a fresh
start with a new team under Sec
rotary Of State George Marshall
The new team is led by Norman
Armour in Braden's place and
James Bruce-an ex-milk compa-
ny executive and a diplomatic I'M
known-in Messersmith's job at
Buenos Aires.
In the meantime, double : talk
from Argentine is still heard. On
July 6, Peron made a big speech
which every Argentine radio sta
ton and newspaper had to carry,
every citizen was supposed to
read or listen to, every upper
grade school kid was supposed to
write themes on.
Among other high : sounding ut
terances. Peron said that the Ar
gentine's spiritual and material
resources had been modified for
peace. We Argentines believe
that the countries which suffered
so horribly in the wal have a
right to a better life"
Well, look at the record. The
Argentine was not a member of
UNRRA and contributed nothing
to it, though it did sell over $40
million worth of supplies to other
countries which did support UNR
RIA. The Argentine has never
joined the International Food and
Agriculture Organization. 1t only
observed.
On the day of Peron's speech,
the Argentine Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Worship sent a note
to Secretary of State Marshall. It
has just been made public. It is
full of pious declarations about
adhering to pacifist principles.
Secretary Marshall has just re-
piled politely, in effect, that this
is dandy.
But the thing to watch at the
Rio conference and after is how
well the Peron government lives
up to these principles.
II the United States starts pou
ing out arms, loans and other as
sistance as demanded, without full
guarantees on what is to be done
in return for these favors. it is
most apt to be played for a suck
er. This guy still needs watching.
