THE PILOT has held that the people do realize there is a war and that they are trying to do all that they can. However, a trip to one of North Carolina’s ports during the past week-end (see story on front page) has caused ns to temi>er this belief. Most of us. who have not in some wav had actual contact To the Editor: We must win this war. We shall win it. We will win it. For we know ihat upon its successful conclusion depends the continual existence of the f.e* way of life that has come to birth through the "blood, toil, sweat and tears" of generations here and in other lands. We must win the war and we must, as the President puts it, 'win the peace." For a peace will come, no imtter who wins. The war will not last forever. Victory for Ihe Axis would bring peace • a Roman peace imposed by force, the death-like peace of slav ery. Victory for thp t'nited Nations will bring pcace. But what kind of peace? 'I'hat is for us to determine now, in t!io midst of war. The only kind of peace that is consistent with tho ideals for which we contend, the only kind of peace that can preser\-e them, is a peace guaranteed by law made by the free consent of fee men. For such a peace, the winning of which must begin now. Federal Un. ion proposes a plan, a scheme for a world government “of the people, by the people and for the people," that plan deserves the careful consid eration of every lover of peace and freedom in the world. The people of this county now have an excellent opportunity to learn jnore of this plan for world peace by world government.

Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually useless in the grim tasks of maritime war. The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtuolly non existent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead of schedule. Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time required in the first World War, Comparable speeding up has be^n achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being constandy stepped-up. Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employ ment in a year’s time, training thousands of new men, putting every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass production methods—all these spell tonnage and more tonnage, a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards. All hands are doing their utmost for \'ictory, working to achieve the maximum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Mari time Commission, so that the “bridge of ships” shall be main tained and steadily enlarged.
