This is as it should be. The men figlv : nini-p and mnkiti Img uvei'??c<io <nc viwiui, u.viv %... less money than the American public s home. Buying war bonds and keepin them is only one of the things we do i support of these fighting men. It is duty both to buy war bonds and to kee them. It is also a wise investment of som of the surplus funds that are made un.de war conditions. Too much bragging of how we met war loan quota would be entirely out c tune with things. We did not fail in th 7th War Bond Drive. We were not e> pected to fail. Having met it. it is hard! for us to stop and brag. German Industry Seized The American Army in Germany las week seized 25 of the great I. G. Farbe industries, thereby setting in motion cot i 11 trol of properties that nave mini up an maintained the Herman war machim This and other moves that are to com are intended to wipe out tor all time th ability of the German people to wag warfare. The Karbeii industries are vast, extern ing all over the world, with plants in th United States and other allied countrie as well as in Germany. Seizure was als f- made of the plants in the United State: They manufactured everything from As pirin tablets on into everything essenth to German war production. For example,-this industry is credite with having produced for Germany 8 per cent of its entire nitrogen output 1 oo per cent of her magnesium metal luu per cent of her tetra-ethyl lead pre duction: loo per cent of cellophane; 8 per cent of plastics; more than 50 pe cent of the explosives and 100 per cen of the effective poison gas. They Also Served , While the number of deaths in ou armed forces has been appalling, it i well to recall that practically all of thes deaths have occured in action, in acc dents on the training fields, and anion mistreated prisoners of war in enem hands. From disease there have been fewe deaths in the armed forces of ten c eleven million men and there wer among three or four million in 1918-'19. And while a large proportion of do< tors and nurses have been at the camp or up forward on the fields of action th death rate among the civilian populatio at home has been kept at normal. Ther has been no influenza epidemic, no dyin by the dozens among the civilian popuh tion, such as happened during the fin world war. To the doctors left at home, to thos overseas, and to the scientists who hav helped in the creation of new medicine the United States owes a deep debt < gratitude and recognition that they als served. The average span of human lit in the United States should be lengthene by the strides made by medicine and su gery during the war. IVoul(I Choose "Winnie" The British people held an electic last week to determine whether or n< they should have a new government. T1 result of this election will not be annoui ced until the 26th of July, as the soldii vote must be heard from. There were but two issues in the ele tion which is now over. The people ha to decide whether they wanted a ne government or the old one that has bee ieo uy wmscon Lmurcnw. tsotn sid< claim victory and*will probably contini to Haim it until the final count shov which. L THE S' During1 the last presidential election in! the United States the British people, al-i i though not voting, were unanimous in' _ their support of the late President Roosevelt. The same rule reversed now holds ? good with reference to, the British elec,r tion. It appears almost certain that could _ the American people have expressed a at choice they would have voted almost |le solidly for Winston Churchill, the man who could see what few in England ? could see in the darkest hours. 0 . - 0 Half The W orld's Supply '5 h : iiiiuMciincf tn note that the report ' II IO -made by Chairman J. A. Kru.tr, ol the WPB. last week, shows that the United States produced 45 per cent ot the world's munitions in 1911. Not only did , we attain this giant production in sup- 1 u port of Allied Nations, we kept the ( American people "the best ted?the best v housed?the best clothed civilians in the, world." ?i Since 191" American munitions plants c have produced better than live billion j dollars worth of munitions monthly. Our Navy or Air Force, our Army,;' ^ each one of the largest in the world, has 1 11 been supplied with the best equipment1' in the world. Along with that, much of 11 the same equipment has been supplied to , a I Allied countries. j !J "In one year, 1944, alone," said the i; e War Production Board Chairman, "we;j I produced 90,839 planes, including 1(5,048; heavy bombers. We built 80,889 ships, j a 17.365 tanks, 595,830 Army trucks,.pro- L II duced 8,281 heavy field guns and howite zers. and 7.45-1 light ones. In that year 152 Army aircraft rocket launchers were , V built. 215.177 bazookas and 1,146,774 J tons of ground artillery ammunition." The above were only a few of the gi- j 1 gantic American munitions and war es-, sentials productions. The American peo( pie back at home did nobly by the men j ^ at the front, while doing all right by themselves. 1 1d ; . e Uracil Development 0 e All over the couptry an era of beach > and sport fishing development has been e seen predicted as a certainty soon after ,s' the war ends. Brunswick county 011 the 0 lower coast of North Carolina will get its . share of that development?a big share. .. In our opinion our development will ,1 not be confined just to beach development and sport fishing centers. Farmers (j in distant, less favored, sections will be attracted to agricultural possibilities, en- j . hanced by hunting and fishing. There! ! | should be a general development of the coastal sections, extending far inland. The purchase of the Caswell-Carolina j. lands at Southport by Goldsboro interests t is a forerunner of what is to come. The Caswell-Carolina lands, lying on the ocean between Fort Caswell and Long Beach, and surrounding the Oak Island Coast Guard station, have never been j put to any use. The new owners are North Carolina men who have been sees ing the possibilities of this beach for many years. They bought the lands to develop them, tl can be said that they ^ have something really worth developing. The Caswell beach, running ease and west, is one of the few beaches 011 the f Atlantic coast that is situated so as to e receive the prevailing south and south; west winds, direct from over the ocean. 1 ? I nr?. T, n . . I ,s; J line ror suicides e n Somewhat puzzling is the exceeding 'e ] frankness of Japanese admissions relatS ing to the damage done by American air '- raids. Germany never admitted as much, it | Japan admits that Tokyo is razed and that vast sections of other cities are im| mense incendiary heaps. e Admission is made that Japan faces j s? a life and death crisis, that invasion of >f: the home island is imminent, that her j >0!production has been seriously hampered! e by air raids, that her basic industries are I d being moved to Manchuria, and even j hints that political troubles are menacing 1 the war effort. That's sorry talk for a people who! boasted so loudly about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, who struck j in with such wanton disregard of decencv i it at Pearl Harbor, and who crowed with ie! such naseauting rancor about a stolen | a- empire. jr These people to whom face-saving is a i national virtue and -who glorify suicide | c- as an honorable escape, by their own ad-1 id ! missions the hour is getting late for mass j w ' suicides in the government to save face ; >n for failures 011 the battlefield. Apologies es to the Emperor for defeats are poor sub- j ie stitutes for hari .kira. The time is ripe! us for some disembowling among official Japanese circles. I / ?
