One admits to himself that the cause is good but somehow he thinks the call is sounded for ^somebody else. But the Red Cross means you. It’s your Red Cross, working for your own people. ■There are no side issues, no wondering about .where the money goes. It goes to help help less people, including Americans held as pris oners of war. There’s no sidestepping this appeal. It is ■(directed personally at you, at all of us. There i'should be no exemptions. How’s your con science today? --V i; Incredible But Inevitable : Despite some setbacks, Allied victories that have taken them over the Rhine since the Normandy landings have been almost incredi ble. They landed against supposedly impreg nable fortifications, through the surf on •'strongly held beaches. They didn’t even have harbors. ! It is not strange that Premier Churchill, istepping on German soil after the bitter years of frustration and waiting, puffled that cigar ■iwi.th immense satisfaction. The impossible . had been achieved. The Allies had gone ' through France and Belgium, parts of Hol land. They had pushed back a strong invader l;who had years to make himself unbeatable. ‘,But he was beaten. He is practically beaten. , He runs, retreats, falls back from these men ■ 'who landed with only their hands and what they carried on their backs, i Yet, they had something more. They car ried with them the iron determination to crush this Thing that thought free men would bow the neck and bend the knee. They wouldn’t do that for anybody. Especially the wouldn’t do that for an inferior. Yes, they had more than what they car . ried on their backs. They carried something .in their hearts, something indestructible, ir | resistible. It could not be. blasted out of them. They were born with it and many of them • iied with it but those left alive moved on with it. What can stand against that? _vr_ It’s Their World, Too j More than a million girls and women in green uniforms remind America this week hat Girl Scouting builds world friendship. Always world-minded, the Girls Scouts of Wil mington and New Hanover county are cele brating, on March 12, the thirty-third birth ■ day of Scouting ifc the United States, by ; showing how girls can prepare for the re > sponsibilities of world citizenship. Nations have not yet found a way to live j together in peace. Tomorrow’s citizens must do more than express a pious hope for peace. They must know something of the attitudes : and problems of other countries—the hazards r that lie in the path of international friendship. The Girl Scouts of the United States are members of the World Association of Girl : Guides and Girl Scouts. Wherever the armies of liberation go, Scouting, which went under ground with other democratic movements dur ing enemy occupation, is springing up again. Through the news and personal correspond ence of this world-wide sisterhood, through world meetings and hemisphere meetings, through day-by-day awareness of the inter national significance of all they do, Girl Scouts build a background of knowledge and under standing for the day when their votes will .i decide issues of peace and war. Every thoughtful American will wish the Girl Scouts success in their program of -build :j ing international friendship. A tangible way * to help is to make Girl Scouting available to 2 all the girls who want to be Scouts but who •i lack leaders, sponsorship, or meeting places. ", Does your club or church sponsor or find lead era for potential Girl Scouts? If not the Girl Scout office in the Tide Water building *| can explain how you can begin building bet V ter citizens through Girl Scouting—now A Mighty Ship Nobody probably will immortalize a late] Old Ironsides at the first was enshrined fa verse, but there is no good reason it s o c not be. The battleship Oregon performed a! heroically and gloriously at Santiago as hat the ship that inspired Holmes’ poem. And nov it is considged to the waters around Guam ineligible for further action against an enemy Early in 1898, the Oregon was in drydock a Esquimau, the newly estabUshed naval statior in Puget sound, for the customary overhau after a tour of duty. Fleet craft was taker from regular runs to Sound towns that visitor; might see and exclaim in wonder at her tur rets of great guns and new electrical devices fo the Oregon representd the finest a n c greatest naval construction up to that time From Esquimalt she proceeded to San Fran cisco to take part in some naval demonstra tion designed to increase recruiting. While there she received orders to proceed at toi speed to join the fleet in Cuban waters com manded by Admiral Sampson. There has beer some talk of this order reaching the Oregor at Montevidio, but Californians who never wiU ingly let any advantage escape them cling t( the report that Captain Clark of the Oregor received the historic order while at anchor ir San Francisco bay. However this may be, Captain Clark put or a burst of speed and arrived in time to helj drive the Spanish fleet ashore when it mad< its break for freedom, Admiral Sampson beinj far away on his flagship when the engagemen took place. Now the Oregon, known as the glamour shij of the Spanish-American war, has been sen' into the far Pacific to die. It was to hav« been used in building a mighty breakwatei for Guam, but was found to be too decreit foi thiS purpose .and was sent into an inlet blastec through a coial reef at an island base To the end she remained a glamour ship, foi on her final voyage she bore a cargo of 1,4(K tons of dynamite, which many persons sup posediy in the know declared was to tow intc Tokyo harbor and exploded. The rumor was false. The dynamite was unloaded, and th< Oregon awaits the end in peace not besid* but within the still waters of a far Pacific inlet. And no poet has been raised up tc sing her praise. -V Still Up To Taxpayers While it is stimulating news that the gov ernment proposes to provide jobs for as manj service men upon their demobilization as ra pdily as possible, Arthur S. Flemming, heac of the United States Civil Service Commission in a broadcast beamed to our fighting force* abroad, lets it be known that the jobs wil be under government supervision and paid ou of government funds. Mr. Flemming said that 2,000,000 of the 2, 800,000 persons now working for the govern ment hold temporary appointments, whicl may be terminated within six months aftei the war, and pledged that the federal govern ment will start to fill them on a permanenl basis only when most veterans have been de mobilized and are able to compete for them He further pledged that the government wil make special efforts to place partially dis abled veteran in federal jobs. Aside from the paternalism indicated in the above, in accordance with the growing dis position of government of supervise or ever regulate individual lives, the plan outlinec by Mr. Flemming clearly indicates that Amer ican taxpayers have no reason to hope ioi any substantial relief from the burden thej have carried so long for federal payrolls bui must go on putting out money to meed their, for an indefinite period after the war is over It had been the well-nigh universal hope that extraordinary federal payrolls would fads out with the passing of the war emergencj and taxpayers be saved the outlay they rep present, although it be but a small part o: the government’s gross waste, and that ths government would devote the major job-find ing program for returning veterans to privats industry and business. Mr. Flemming knock* that aspiration higher than a cocked hat witl a declaration he obviously hoped would bs swallowed without question. --V A Break For The Home Eatei Most Americans eat at home most of the time, and the OPA has finally taken cogniz ance of that fact. In consequence the agenc; is going to “recall” surplus food stocks o restaurants, hotels and institutions, mad< known through inventory figures, by deduct ing points of pounds from these establish ments’ rations. , Since general rationing came into effect one of its principal inequities has been thi fact that a person could get most scarce food stuffs in a hotel or restaurant which were un obtainable by the home shopper, providec only he were willing to pay the prices asked This has been more generally true in the larg c.- cities, partically so in the case of meat. We realize that the proprietors of eatini places have plenty of headaches these days But we don’t think that hoarding by busines establishment or institution is any more com mendable than by a housewife. And we don’t think that these establishment will suffer unduly by going on more of a day to-day basis like the rest of us home eaters. -V Strange Malady There’s a disease that goes with war strikitis. It’s like influenza in the First Work war, a malady that thrives on itself. Whei one strike in war plants is ended, anothe starts. People’s tempers are short in war “fight it out” is the slogan. Perhaps it must run its course, as a stron, fever must; burn itself out. Treatment so fa • hasn’t helped. All the doctor* in the eco nomic scheme have been called in, all pre scribe end the patient becomes worse. It’s a mystifying lever, defying diagnosis end treat ment The patient shouldn’t be sick, but he is. "A little rest and a little care” and three spoonfuls of this three times a day and “he will be ell right.”' But he doesn’t get all right. It's a erase, like the chain letter was, or the yo-yo foolishness. It is beyond reason but It continues. Argument makes it worse. Some day America will wake up, throw this strikitis in the garbage can and wonder what obsessed it. In The Nation By ARTHUR KROCK In the New York Times WASHINGTON, March 10—In some import ant respects, the problem presented to the American people by our prospective shipping surplus and our interallied advantage in this category ie typical of many which must be solved on a basis that will protect our own economy and enterprise and yet not impress our wartime associates as greedy or callous. Congressional committees are already framing legislation for ship disposals, and the perplexi ties that confront them are many in laying that basis. These perplexities, which will be repeated on all the industrial fronts of domestic peace, were recently discussed before the House Committee on Merchant Marine by Almon E. Roth, pre ident of the National Federation of American Shipping, and a summary seems to be worth rescuing from the more immediate news. This week Leo T. Crowley, the Lend-Lease Administrator, gave his pledge to another House committee that lend-lease as such would not be used in any way for “the purposes of post-war rehabilitation and reconstruction.” Whatever American supplies are to be so employed, he said, would be furnished by other agencies and paid for. The discussion arose over certain implications to the con trary which were being read into the French lend-lease agreement for what is called “the second phase,” and the committee accepted Mr. Crowley’s disclaimer. But the shipping industry and others fear that the net effect of post-war policy might be to some degree the same as if lend-lease contract goods were used. They see an opport unity for this in pricing formula of the French arrangement, and Mr. Roth saw another in a section of the draft on which the House Committee is working. Urges Two-Year Delay The draft provides that ship transfers to non-citizens shall be by sale only. But Sched ule 1 of the French agreement extends $220 millions’ credit in freight charges, and these are described as the “rental and charter of vessels.’ Futhermore, the committee bill would permit sales of ships to non-citizens im mediately at the end of the war. Mr. Roth urged that no such sales, except of Libertys and tankers, be made for two years thereafter so that time will be afforded to the American industry to “know how many and what types of fast vessels will be availible and the date at w’hich they will be restored to private operation." Noting also the strength of the be lief that we should charter our surplus ton nage to foreign competitors on favorable terms until they can build themselves new fleets, he said this procedure would prejudice the in terests who buy war-built ships from the gov ernment. “Such voluntary sacrifice of our own national interest hardly seems called for," he said. He quoted Vice Admiral Land, chairman of the Maritime Commission, to the effect that if the war lasts much longer “the British will not be very shy of ships,’’ but only the Norwegians, Danes, Belgians,Dutch and Yug oslaves.On these representations, Mr. Roth proposed for the industry that a study be made “of the possibility of obtaining commitments from other countries, to whose citizens ves sels may be transferred, which will protect American ship operators against unfair prefer ences, currency, blocs and other forms of dis crimination." And in general he recommend ed that—especially in view of the higher op erating costs under our flag—payment and in terest requirements for foreign purchasers i shall not be more favorable than those granted to American citizens. Section 4 (e) of the committee draft auth orizes the Maritime Commission, with re spect to ship disposals, to avail itself of the services of Federal agencies engaged in ex tending loans or credits. If this section, said Mr. Roth, is not designed.to open ship disposals to lend-lease or extend the authority of other agencies to perform a similar function, its inclusion is unnecessary. If it has this design , and permits this extension, it should be strick en from the bill. jLiiurns ill uie r<uu The President and Congress are going to find it very difficult to lay down a policy for • all these post-war disposals that is fair to and ' considerate of the American econorriy and yet will not make hoggish and even heartless use of the favorable position we acquire by the ’ location of the United States, its productive power and the late date of its entrance in the war. And, when that difficulty is surmounted —at least to the satisfaction of reasonable persons in interest—the Federal agencies will have an even harded task in administering it, ’ item by item. One of the essentials of ship dis ■ posals to our own citizens is that domestic i purchasers at »established prices shall not later find similar sales to competitors at prices, as happened in the last war. A “fall clause,” permitting downward adjustments to the original purchasers in such instances, I would take care of that. But it is only one of the myriad complications of the disposal . problem, which the plea of shipping federat ion serves to illustrate. Another complication in this guineapig in dustry arises from the fact that after we have > met American shipping requirements for com . mercial use, made maximum foreign sales and met the defense needs of the Navy,* there may be an unabsorbed surplus of 24,000,000 deadweight tons. The industry holds that, to prevent a glut on the seas and disorganization of seaborne trade, this tonnage should be laid up or scrapped. Very naturally our maritime allies are 1 watching developments. i -V r In the case of the rocket as in the case . of the flying bomb, the only way to silence this form of long - range artillery is the physi cal occupation of the sites from which these ’ weapons are launched.—British Air secretary ■ Sir Archibald Sinclair. , VV JLJLI***** - V- ~ . , * - .

UNION* .j Allies’ Smashing Of Rhine Barrier, Reds ’ Gains Mark Weekly War News tBy United Press) The Allies in the west crashed Germany’s Rhi ne barrier this week and the Russians in the east smashed at the Oder line from its mouth to beyond the principal strongholds east of Berlin. In the Pacific the battle for Iwo neared its final bloody phase, with the last of the Japanese jammed into the rocky northern tip of the island. Tokyo was subjected to a massive fire bomb attack which laid waste a vast area of the cap ital and flamed around the edges of the imperial palace grounds. The Allies on the western front were across the Rhine in consid erable force after the dramatic capture of the Remagen bridge, and arrayed along it all the way from Coblenz to Nijmegen in Hol land. The final two-way offensive across the Rhine and Oder was in progress. The Russians were cleaning up their Baltic flank with gathering speed but withheld information about their movements on the Oder fmnt east of Berlin. Uneasy Nazi broadcasts made it plain, however, that the principal strong holds of Kuestrin and Frankfurt were tottering and that Soviet forces already were across the Oder around Kuestrin. The merciless Allied aerial bom bardment of the German railway system and oil facilities went ahead on an almost unprecedent ed scale throughout the week. No major changes occurred on the Italian front. Developments of the week in cluded: On Sunday, the American first Army drove to within two miles of Cologne. The Ninth Army reached the Rhine north of Duis burg and cleared Neuss, opposite Deusseldorf. American and British bombers hammered targets in the Ruhr for the 20th consecutive <Jay. The Russians driving through Pomerania reached the Baltic at Koeslin and Kolberg, pocketing an estimated 300,000 Nazi troops to the east. The Marines on Iwo is land made small gains against bit ter Japanese opposition. On Monday, American troops en tered Cologne and fought toward the center of the city against light German opposition. The Germans blew up the tgvo Rhine bridges connecting Homberg and Duis burg. American and British heavy bombers made successiev attacks on the railway yards at Chem nitz, Saxony, in the path of the Russian armies. The Russians captured Stargard. Naugard and Polzin in their drive toward the Baltic. Gen . Douglas MacArthur announced that six of the ten Jap anese divisions on Luzon have been destroyed. Bloody fighting continued on Iwo with little change in positions. The British captured the Meiktila airfields in central Burma. On Tuesday, Cologne fell to the Americans. First Army spear heads drove to within six miles of Bonn and the Third Army to within' 20 of the Rhine at Coblenz. Prime Minister Churchill, visiting the front, said “one good strong heave, all together’’ should end the war in Europe. The Russians reached the Baltic entrance to Stettin Bay, capturing 500 more places in their drive. The Fifth Army in Italy seized important heights southwest of Bologna. Vio lent demonstrations broke out in Borne over the escape of Gen. Mario Roatta, held as a leading Fascist war criminal. The Ma rines on Iwo repulsed Japanese counter-attacks and opened a vio lent artillery bombardment of \the enemy positions. On Wednesday, the American Third Army drove to the Rhine in a spectacular break-through north of Coblenz, threatening to trap tens of thousands of Germans in the Rhine - Moselle triangle. More than 1,150 American heavy bombers and fighters attacked railway and oil targets in the Ruhr. The Red Army gained con trol of the Oder estuary and closed in from three sides on Stettin. The Marines on Iwo pressed a general offensive against the Japanese, making gains of up to 300 yards. Chinese forces in Burma captured Lashio. On Thursday, it was disclosed that the American Third Army had crossed the Rhine south of Cologne and established a bridgehead over which reinforcements were pour ing. To the south, American troops seized half of Bonn and adjacent Bad Gotesberg. N e« r ly 1,700 American planes attacked oil and railway target the Ruhr after a 1,250-plane RAF night raid on Berlin and other objectives. Ber lin reported the Russians had es tablished a bridgehead across the Oder and driven to within 26 miles of the capital. The Russians made further sweeping gains toward the Baltic. The Marines on Iwo drove to the central plateau overlooking the beaches at the northern end of the island. British Indian troops entered Mandalay in Burma. On Friday, American forces steadily enlarged their Remagen bridgehead. The First and Third Armies joined west of the Rhine between Remagen and Coblenz, sealing off five to six German di visions. To the north, American heavy artillery began blasting the heart of the vital Ruhrbasin. It was disclosed that a new Ameri can Army, the 15th, was at the front. More than 1,400 American heavy bombers and fighters blast ed railway targets in the Reich. The Russians drove to the out skirts of both Stettin and Danzig. More than 300 Superfortresses dropped more than 1,000 tons of bombs on Tokyo, setting fires an area of 15 square miles. The Jap anese reported an American land ing on Mindanao in the Philip pines. On Saturday, the Americans beat off German counter-attacks on the Remagen bridgehead and were reported by the Paris radio to have reached the broad mili tary highway to the east. More than 1,850 American heavy bomb ers and fighters struck at the rail way network in the Ruhr basin leading to the German Rhine de fenses. Berlin reported Soviet troops w ere fighting inside Alt dam. across from Stettin at the mouth of the Oder. Moscow said Red Army forces were within 7 1-2 miles of Danzig. It was an nounced that Japanese resistance on Iwo was diminishing. Japs’ Early Smokescreen Of Propaganda Disclosed By JAMES D. WHITE WASHINGTON, March 10.—(JP)— As early as 1930 Japan spread a smokescreen of propaganda and diplomatic doubletalk which may have helped to disguise her inten tions in Asia and the Pacific. This is suggested by the release today of State Department papers relating to American Foreign Af fairs in 1930, the year of the Naval disarmament conference in Lon don. The papers show that the Japa nese at this conference were seek ing to get the prevailing naval ra tio (10-10-6 for America, Britain and Japan set by the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922; revised to 10-10-7. Japanese naval experts told American naval attaches in Tokyo that if Japan had anything less than 7 to America’s 10 in na val strength she would inevitably lose any war in which the two powers might become involved. The theory they spread was that in the event of war, America would seek a quick decision, be cause a war of attrition would use up American merchant shipping and lose American carrying trade to rivals. The Ameican fleet, they theor ized, would go immediately from ! Pearl Harbor to Manila if war should be declared, and, as a counter measure, the Japanese would intercept them with a large fleet of submarines operating from the Marshall and Caroline islands. All this was reported at the time to the State Department by Wil fiam R. Castle, Jr., thep Ameri can ambassador in Tokyo. He further reported that Masa uao Hanihara, former Japanese ambassado to the United States, aad called upon him with story about how public opinion in Japan 'eared an American attack be cause it was believed American naval plans covered the possibili ty of war with Japan to compel Japanese acceptance of American ideas regarding China. Hanihara told Castle that wai with the United States would be the worst possible disaster for Ja pan and Japan could never think of it. Castle informed the depart ment that Hanihara was obviously acting under instructions. He said he told Hanihara that “'our aims approximated the Japanese as both countries Wanted only a Chi na which was substantially and po litically sound.” -V New Manager Arrives For Firestone Stores S.

Henry J.

Interpreting The War By KIRKE L. SDIPSOX Associated Press War Analvst Crossing of the Rhine in strew, by American troops to pose Allied invasion threat to Cen‘r 1 Germany held the news spot l^ this week-end but there were ri yelopments elsewhere. Gloom V;' for Japan. *4 That the Rhine functure could speed up by months the mom.. when the full weight of Allied oow er can be turned against jU'' was only one phase of the charter war scene. In bomb-burned To' at least, the mobilization in Wa--' inglon of highest level America,’ naval commanders in th> P‘cif and with them the top-rank,ns American Army and diplomatic figures from China could 0niv b construed as ominous. Official Washington suggestions fromY.e White House down that .t Wa, j':, merely due to coincidence pe!. haps a result of a spell 0f gcoi’ flying weather over the pacif-c had a tongue-in-cheek sound. Tie ' were obviously not expected orV tended to be taken at face value" Something more than discuss;on of who's going to be who amcn the American commanders ' : . Kr ward step against Japan must have caused that, muster o( tra; .. Pacific brass hats. Whatever it was, it boded Japan no good. It has been generally assumed by most military observers that the next phase of the attack ,n Japan, whether it comer as a d’ rect invasion of the Japanese is. lands themselves or via China was not to be expected tor some months. Admiral Nimitz during his Washington visit more or less confirmed that. He said a wider “base’' of approach would be needed than has yet been gained. The implication is that Iwo Jin-,a is only one of several Pacific or East China sea islands destined to be ripped from enemy control Naval task forces have already been lashing at islands of the Ryuku chain which forms a step ping stone bridge from Japan to Formosa. That line of tiny moun tain tops rearing above the sea surface also forms an outer bar rier guarding the raw material supply line upon which Japan'* home war industries now must de pend since her communications with the South China sea have been rendered percarious Nimitz added that the blockade of Japan to throttle her war in dustries would not be complete un til her communications with the Asiatic mainland also were cut. That may be an indication ot where the next naval advances are to be expected. It Is across the Yellow Sea from her own ports on the sea of Japan that the raw material supply line sustaining Japanese war factories runs. The Ryuku chain is an outpost protection for Japan bound cargo ' craft from northern China. It could become a no less deadly menace to that supply line, how ever, if any of the islands that form the chain fell into American hands for advance air and sub marine base purposes. And that certainly is a possibility of the near future as both Nimitz and Admiral Halsey appraise the re maining power of the battered Japanese fleet. In their judgment it offers no obstacle to American naval ventures into any of the seas that wash Chinese shores. YANKS TIGHTENING RING AT VERGATO; ROME, March 10.—(UP)-Tfc! U.
