Must Help While the postwar collaboration iesolut.< ii now being debated in the Senate will undoubtedly be approv ed. and while the United Stales tan ill at ford not to .-find by its com m.tnients, the provision will not be so ironclad but that sufficient elas ticity will be incorporated to permit a set-up in conformity with the mind of the «1 untry when the t me roir.e- for .»pcc;Iic and concrete ac tion. Generally speaking. it is high time lor not only this but all Allied conn tries to outline in reasonably deti :e manner what they ar«" lighting j or and what they intend to do when they have put the dictator countries in their proper place. T'.t.; fon:;all> resolution, as we under .-IuikI it. does not so that tar. But sonic broad statement ot objectives is already overdue, and if set forth in clear and concise manner shoultj be helpful to belligerent and neu tral peoples alike. Apparently the country as a whole has about come around the con \ etion that tli.^ nation cannot stand entirely aloof in a world where it i.» the largest and most powerful ot .ill people.-. 1. cannot dodge its :espoiisluiht e- any iv.ore than the others, nor even as much, if there is to be real s. ids t a nee to the hope and t ie demand everywhere lor a just .uid lasting peace m the world. l"he United States must help. Spiritual realities must ha\ e real revolution in the new order. And by that we do not mean religious dcnominatiotialism. Hather t is a consci ■ ess ol right and wiong. ot ju.-tiee and injustice, and ot tol erance between nations and individ uals alike. .\o better system ha- as yet b'Vn devised op proposed than the League ot Nat."tis. which was the brain child «>l President Wilson during and a'.tei the first World War. Tlu charge that it failed is an injustice. It was deserted, and degenerated into an impotent and helpless or ganism. and largely because the United States refused to assume its own obligations. Had not a handiul >1 politically minded men in 'he Senate torpedoed the plan in 15)19. together with the peace treaty itself, which Wilson brought back from Paris, the idea probably would have taken root and grown, and the pres ent war might have been averted. The Covenant of the I.eag ie ol Nations contained nothing that wis in direct contravention oT American sovereignty or independence. P. merely provided for pcration ol all the powers to the end that hos tilities might be prevented between any two nations or groups of na tions. Until and unless Pie world comes around to that docti inc. whether called by that or some other name, there will be no en during peace. The Senate will pass the Connally resolution, but that will not assure in specific terms a postwar accord of the kind that will he sufficient to meet all requricments. j Of late there has seemed to be in some quarters renewed evidences of a revival—or perhaps survival— of the old spirit of isolationism, which made important contribution to the present miseries of the world. Much of this stems, too. we think, from a feeling that our own rights must be safeguarded. And so they, must. But it is as certain as anything can be that if the United States with draws into its own shell after this wa«*| and refuses to cooperate or assume responsibility of any kind in the family of nation*, this devastating struggle will hive to be gone through with agaiq several decades hence. i Community Finances Statements by Henderson bunks, made in accordance with banking regulations, show a condition tha* is a matter of pride to this com munity. It we mistake not. re sources shown by these great fi nancial institution* are at tlie high est peak m their history. They are to bt> congratulated on the re markable* showing. It is doubtful if there is •' small city in the State where bank state ments, in the aggregate, measure up to these standards. It is an evi dence of strong local industry, a substantial back country, and witii la of excellent management, in which depositors have the greatest contidence. and where they have found the accommodations and courtesies usually looked for in a banking connection. This is one explanation ot the] very high quotas Vance county is allotted in war loan and other drives incident to the war. These apportionment are largely ba.-od ."it bank resource.-, including deposits. Both .Hi' very high here, with the result that outside deductions are that we are financially capable of assuming large responsibilities. So far. unfortunately, these have been met. on the whole, in all under takings. The condition offers assurance toj business and ;•> agriculture both now and in :he postwar era. Much of | tiie growth lii..; has con o with the war will be permanent. That should be 11 ie of lui-ines-. volume gener-1 | ally the same as w t!i respect to the banks I: sjieaks in optimistic tone of .uul tor 'ne i iture oi the com munity. The resources and capa cities for working of wonders are resident in the county. They have but to be i;til./ed to operate to the | prosperity and happiness of the I people generally.

I another railroad in the country that is handling a volume of trafficI equal to that now being moved by the Seaboard on a single track main lino. The receivership has given the Seaboard opportunity to acquire equipment in rolling stock and to extend its facilities, including track age capacities, which it might not have had otherwise. But all of this has made it possible to offer service as good .is the best, and has at tracted ini-mess that could not have been obtained without such equip ment. Under such conditions, it would seem to the layman that the mad should be able to operate on its I own responsibility now if it ever can. And if it cannot stand alone | now. probably it can never do so. ! This is a time of debt liquidation for ! many concerns and interests. Where ' a new -tart is de-ir./tle oi nocc.-sary.

AROUND CAPITOL SQUARE By LVNN NISBET Daily Dispatch Bureau In The Sir Waller Hotel—fUlelcb C USTOMER— The State Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment lias received an inquiry from Casablanca. Atrica. about textile mills producing cotton, rayon and other fabrics of medium and low grade. The department checked with Washington authorities and found it was permissible to send the information requested, and it has been done. Some orders for textiles may result from this exchange of correspondence. PROPIIKTK- Whether any busi ness for Tar Heels can be directly traced to this incident, it is signifi cant as inducting possible new mar kets for American goods after the ws;r. The Casablanca man said lie had previously obtained his supply ot textiles from Japan. He indicated that even it Japan got back into the export business, he would not be in terested m dealing with the .Tap*.

Ne^ro Engineers at Camp Butner arc Construction Unit Camp Butner. Oct. 2t>.—As enemy troops retreat, giving ground to the pursuing allied armies, they leave a wide path of destruction behind them. Cities and villages are lott crumbling, their buildings shattered, their roads and bridges torn, thou airlields blasted. Some reconstruc tion is necessary if these towns are to be useful to our armies as bases for further operations, itoads must be repaired, communications sys tems re-established, buildings erect ed and airport runways constructed. Skilled labor is needed for the job —men who have been trained for this work primarily. Such a unit is Colonel William F. Weiler's 13l!Mn Engineer Regiment of tNegro troops stationed at Camp Butner. composed of welders, carpenters, electricians, riggers, pipe fitters and others skill ed in construction work. All his training acquired at a "NUTCRACKER SUITE" To Wed Ann Bullitt THE ENGAGEMENT of Lieut. Dr.nfcl Baugli Brewster, Jr. (above), U. S. Marine Corps, of Brooklnndville, Md., to Ann Bullitt, 19-year-old daughter o£ William C, Bullitt, former U. S. Ambassador to Itus sia, has been announced. U. S. Marine Corps pholo.(fu!crj:citioi!al) school established ;it C'amp Hutner tor the purpose, each man is a .-pe cialist in one trade i>r another. In ac tual praetiec out 111 the field, how ever. he learns to handle ninic tl.m his job. It is as important in this construct inn unit as in a combat team that tile men in- interchange able—ready to step u; anywhere and carry on the work. In the field, bridges are built and torn down. road., air laid, communi cations systems are installed. Tlio iikii learn t-> work w ith tractors. bull dozers, steam shovels and other heavy equipment. Actual conditions that may be met in a combat zone are simulated to Hive the troops a good working knowledge of the sit uations they may have to cope witn. All training emphasizes speed, ef ficiency and teamwork. While the unit is primarily a con struction outfit, it may well have other duties in the war zone. Includ ed in the course ol training are de molition. mine laying and mine cleat ing. maintenance of air fields and an bases, and the construction and maintenance of port facilities. In ad dition. the unit is equipped with a portable water purification plant so tl at it will be capable of supplying it: elf with drinking water in an area where the water supply has been contaminated. Prepared to accompany American fighting units into the war zone, the men of the 1319th Engineer Hegi mcnt are equipped for infantry com bat. Armed with rifles, carbines and machine guns, they are able to de- | fend an installation, if called upon to do so. as well as to repair it. Mill, first and foiemost, their job is to build operations' bases even while the thunder of their own and enemy artillery fills the air. ANSWERS TO DAILY QUIZ 1. Omaha. Nebraska. 2. Epilepsy. 3.
