According to direct information from Raleigh, all persons wish to be heard j on matters over which the board lias ! jurisdiction are invited to appear at the Morehead meeting. The only matter on which this paper would like to be heard is that the Board of Conservation and Development lend its offices to the development of the shrimp fishing industry on the lower North Carolina coast. This can be done, we believe, by the Federal and State authorities entering ; jointly into a survey of the off-shore waters, finding and marking areas that are free from obstructions and permit the use of shrimp trawls. I Price Control "It was active in drafting and securing the passage of the Emergency Price Control Act of 19-12. I believe that price control is necessary during the war to prevent run-away inflation. 1 believe we will have to extend it for perhaps a year after the end of the war. Price and wage control, however, is the most extreme form of regimentation in which a government can indulge. The government's hand enters into millions of transactions every day, and a wide field of individual freedom is destroyed. We don't want it any longer j than it is absolutely necessary."?Senator! > Robert A. Taft, of Ohio. jfc//en We Invade Japan The Wilmington Morning Star advan-! ces the theory that the reason the Japs' are making no stronger effort to fight j back against American air blows is be- J cause they have gone underground and j are just waiting for Allied lvaders to 1 begin crawling onto the shores of the Jap mainland. Then, the Star warns, the enemy will crawl out of his hole and fight with all the fanaticism he displayed at Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. It may be true. The Jap isn't cut by the same pattern that the German is. Warfare in the East has the same broad strategic outlines as warfare in the West, but there are vast tactical differences. The Jap on the mainland may be laying for the invader just like the Jap on Iwo Jima did. He has a habit of digging! in, and if you whip him you've got to dig him out cave by cave. The defending forces on Iwo Jima were limited, but when we invaded the mainland of Japan we'll! find the main body of Jap forces there.

At any rate, we shall see when we I shall see. I House Of Cards I Count Ciano's diary affords the first authentic insight into the Axis as it operated before and during the war. And Nvhat a flimsy house of cards it pictures I the Axis as being. I One begins to understand now what 1 soil of "perfect accord" was reached by I those two arch criminals, Mussolini and I Hitler, when they met in those earth shaking meetings at Brenner Pass and I elsewhere. | There never was any such thing as the I much-tooted Axis solidarity. What was I called solidarity was Mussolini's unwil| ling and begrudging assent to Hitler's leadership not only of Germany but of I Italy, too. Ciano reveals Mussolini, his father-inlaw, as the same sort of senile, blustering, belligerent weakling that everybody IIUklUKI ?? ?? f" " ?' Japan has not. Russia has no bone to pick with the West. Japan, after defeat, will be inflamed with an abiding resentment. Her statesmen and writers are already propagandizing a "hundred years' war." To relp upon a sworn enemy to help us curb a present and probable friend, one of the three chief pillars of world security, would seem to be the last word in folly. "But," say our businessmen who used to trade with the Orient, "we want Japan after the war to be able to buy from us. If you destroy Japan we will have no business." How about business with the rest of the Orient? We must in the long run choose between business with Japan and business with Asia. This is true because an unchecked Japan would certainly resume her program of monopolizing Asiatic trade. American business was rapidly being squeezed out before the war. There could be no objection to this if it were based upon fair competition. But Japan used wage slavery, government subsidy and military force to achieve her ends. To let Japan off easy would be to perpetuate this system. Japan should have a fair chance to make a decent living?but there is no road to this goal except by way of complete defeat and international control maintained long enough to teach her how to live and let live. Bombs For Japan American airmen really are beginning to get the range, and are putting on the pressure. This week's attacks were designed to destroy what was left of the Jap air force in the home islands. The state of Japan's aerial defenses is illustrated by the fact that Jap training planes were sent into the air in a futile attempt to intercept some of the American raiders. The Jap trainers were easy victims for U. S. Thunderbolt fighters. The Navy no longer bothers to conj ceal the identity of ships in the carrier task forces operating off the Jap coast. Superfortress fleets now go out in 600plane strength, and upward. New Okinawa airfields go into use every few days. Sizeable forces of U. S. Mustang fighters and fighter-bombers make regular forays from Iwo Jima. The all-out U. S. air offensive against Japan has begun, and is yet to be joined by powerful Lancaster squadrons of the RAF. the knew he was from the moment he stabbed France in the back in 1940. United They Stand! Never in the history of American agriculture did the farm owner and operator have to be so well qualified as a business man to make a success of farming. Like all other activity, farming today is conducted under pressure. It is not the easy, peaceful existence many persons like to picture it. It is largely mechanized. In addition to countless regulations and restrictions which complicate its operations, it is subject to political controversy, labor problems, and the weather, which no one can control. Farming is literally being forced into cooperative action in the marketing and production of crops, as a means of selfpreservation, for the fanner alone is almost helpless to cope with th? forces that are continually working against him. Shall We Let Japan Off Easy? We are hearing occasionally that the the word "unconditional" should be stricken out of the term "unconditional surrender" as applied to Japan. Those who make this suggestion argue that Japan should not be reduced to total defeat, because then we should lose a valuable bulwark against a growing China and an ambitious Russia. Why we should fear a strong and prosperous China is hard to understand. On the contrary, our dreams of "four hundred million customers," cannot come true until China's standard of living has been raised. A developed, industrialized China may well prove the world's greatest market place, con tributing to the well-being of all other nations. As for Russia, we do not know that she will ever bother us. Japan has done so. We should be making a poor gamble in exchanging a possible aggressor for a certain one. Russia has no creed 2,000 years old demanding that she conquer the earth. Japan has.

Mean-1 while, with the war still on and other things to come first, sport fishing has been getting little' attention. Earlier in the year1 Kip Farrington, famed salt water, sports fishing writer, told us in New York that Southport had the possibilities of being develop-; ed into the greatest sport fishing center on the Atlantic Coast. east of Florida. We have an idea that Mr. Farrington and J other New Yorkers still feel the | same way and that this de-! velopment will begin before the! year is out. We have a letter from Mr. J.; D. Beveridge, of Orange Springs, Fla, Mr. Beveridge is a partial-; ly disabled war veteran and is seeking a home with five or six! acres of land. With his wife he plans to put forth limited efforts in poultry and egg production and a little more in honey production, i for which he is technically well! qualified. The couple will be here in the next ten days for a two weeks investigation of any properties that may be for sale. Mr. Beveridge's letter has its appeal to us.
