Cargo; and passenger vessels are
returning slowly from Government
control to private industry but ship
ping experts feel that their reentry
into world trade will not be long de
layed. They are, at present, some
what concerned over a Strike call for
June 16th, issued by the newly-uni
fad union that operates along the
nation's waterfront
9 There is another matter that is be
ginning to attract some attention in
Congress and elsewhere. It-is the
possibility of an investigation into
the manner in which the War Ship
ping Administration and the Mari
time Commission have' handled af
fairs with various shipping interests.
The U. S. Controller-General, who
checks funds spent by the Govern
ment agencies, has listed sixty "er
rors" in the records of the two agen
cies which involve a considerable
amount of the taxpayers' money,
Whether there has been wrongdoing
remains to .be established, but, ap
parently, some of the funds, spent
under the hectic days or the war
rush, were paid out to the financial
advantage of shipowners.
We think the charges should be
thoroughly investigated because, af
ter the first World War, the United
States Government sold shipping
lines to private investors at what
amounted to give-away prices. Cer-

Court AdeVFIjIngrranes Can
Damage Land Owner
"The Sunrenie Court "of the United
States has taken cognisance of the
Soft of a North Carolina farmer, who
asked for damages from the Govern
ment' because low-flying planes de
stroyed aw chicken business.
. The frariler said that the location
of an airport close to his farm com
pelled him to abandon his business.
He alleged that low-flying planes,
noise and night-flying, coupled with
the fear of accidents, caused fright,
nervousness and loss of sleep to him
self and his wife. In addition, he
said, sometimes as many as ten chic
kens a day , were killed by ' flying
against 'alls because of fright at
the planes. Moreover, his hens stop
ped laying.
Justice Douglas, of the Supreme
Court, took cognizance of the $2,000
award given the framer in the U. S.
Court of Claims, but pointed out that
if the man could not use his property
because of the flights over his land,
it would be the same as " if the
United States had entered upon the
surface of the land and taken ex
clusive possession of it." Conse
quently, the Court called for addi
tional information as to the damage
suffered uy the individual.
The case seems to set something
of a precedent for landowners who
claim that the use of their property
is interfered with by the frequent
flight of airplanes. We imagine it
will result in Borne other cases of the
same nature.

Japan of the ois of
herAreacherflus attack and to put it
on the shoulders of American lead
ers. , One of the matters about "wmcii
many questions were directed related
to a possible agreement between the
United States and Great Britain to
adopt "parallel action" in warning
Japan against a move into Southeast
Asia.
In view of the world itua.tion, such
an arrangement, whether official or
unofficial, would appear to have been
warranted in the interest of this
country, but nothing has been
brought to light to indicate that .re
sponsible officials of the United
States entered into any agreement
binding the nation to any specific ac
tion.
Another phase of the investigation
that should be denounced related to
the effort of some members of the
committee to brand the note that
Secretary of State Hull delivered to
the Japanese, on November 26, 1941,
as an "ultimatum."
In this note, the Secretary merely
restated the fundamental principles
that the United States advocated in
relation to the Far East. Any other
course would have constituted an ab
andonment of historic principles and
would have been hailed by the Jap
anese as 'a victory for the Co-Pros
perity Sphere.
Byrnes Recounts Differences With
Russia About Italy
Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes, in public addresses since re
turning from the council of Foreign
Ministers at Paris, admits that the
progress made was "disappointingly
small in light of the expectations we
had" at Moscow in December, but
"infinitely greater" than he expected
wnen ne suggested the meeting in
Paris preparatory to the peace con
ference.
Mr. Byrnes reports three basic
sues in regard to Italy:
(a) reparations tne soviet in
sists on $100,000,000 and upon being
paid out of "current production."
This the United States refuses to
agree to because we have advanced
$900,000,000 to enable the Italians to
live and are unwilling to advance ad
ditional millions of dollars to enable
Italy to produce goods "to be paid as
reparations to any of our Allies."
In addition, the Soviet Government
refuses to consider certain naval
ships as reparations, declaring them
to be "war booty." Mr. Byrnes points
out, however, that the ships were
surrendered to the navies of the Uni
ted States and Great Britain and that
war booty "belongs to the nation cap
turing it."
Moreover, he pointedly remarked
that " the Soviet Union has never
shared with Allied nations war booty
captured by her." While willing to
give the Soviet some of the naval
ships, the Englishspeaking coun
tries insist that their value should
be counted as payment on the repar
ation sum.
(b) Colonies differences have
been narrowed but "not dissolved."
The Soviet Government has receded
from its claim for the trusteeship of
Tripolitania and now favors an Ital
ian trusteeship, as proposed by the
French.
The United States has preferred a
United Nations trusteeship, with in
dependence provided at the earliest
practicable date. In addition, it is
questionable whether Italy is in an
economic condition to assume the
responsibility and there are also the
wishes of the inhabitants to be con
sidered. The British recite promises given
the Senussi tribes during the war
which bar assent to an Italian trus
teeship an also want a British trus
teeship for Cyrenacia for security
reasons.
Finally, the United States agreed
to the Italian trusteeship, with a def
inite date for the independence of
Libya and Eritrea fixed, but the
French Government disagreed on this
point. "
(c) the' Italian-Yugoslav boun
dary- the facts in this region are
agreed upon but the nations draw
different conclusions. The Soviet in
sists that Venezia Giulia be treated
as an inseparable whole, either in a
plebiscite of In an award, and con
sequently, asserts that Yugoslavia
has a superior claim.
The United States proposed a
boundary , line; along ethnic lines,
leaving a minimum of people under
alien rulei1 and Mr. Byrnes says that
it was wrong to give Italy the whole
territory after World War I and it
woulb; b 5 equally wrong to. give
Jugoslavia' the; whole area now,
which Would transfer s 500,000 Ital
ians to Yugoslavia. ,
The French and British line was
more favorable to Yugoslavia than
that suggested by the Americans and
in aii effort to reach an agreement,
this country accepted the British, and
French line. All of the nations are
agreed that; Yugoslavia and the coun
tries of Central, Europe, which nave
for: years used the port ' of Trieste,
shall have access to it M free port
under International1 cbntKu;,ii;f
Conlui!'-r tVi phase ' of tils re-,
port, ' ' ' ' i 't-
lit trbVernmflit -anlt- the' - Yugoslav
Government not to presk for a boun
dary' line which will "breed trouble
in the future" - - ,
We ' give something' of a full re
view f he'isue' that stand In the
way of an Italian treaty, fn addition,
the Balkan treaties are blocked by
differences upon economic clauses
aft the Soviet Government ham ep
bpsed any provision to give freedom
of commerce to all nations on the
Danube River, which would permit
this gateway to Central Europe to
serve peaceful development.
Cautioning the American people
thai "a people's peace cannot be won
by flashing diplomatic triumphs, but
requires "patience "and firmness, tol
erance and understanding," Mr. By
rnes declares that " we must not try
to impose our way on others, but we
must make sure that others do not
get the impression they can impose
their will on us.
Irrigation fe,Booii
To Spud Production
Farm irrigation is proving a boon
to the production of Irish potatoes
in Eatern Carolina and promises
equally brighter things for all other
cash crops in the future, it was re
ported by Assistant Martin County
Farm Agent L. W. Cone of the State
College Extension Service.
Martin County farmers recently
inspected irrigation projects being
operated by C. G. Crockett- and his
neighbor, C. T. Allen, of Aurora in
Beaufort County, and came away
sharing the operators' enthusiasm
over the results obtained. Both sys-
criptive of the Allen system:
Water source, 235-foot well dug in
a field where it is more readily ac
cessible to crops, cost $960; power,
Buick engine; capacity, 800 gallons
per minute; acreage system can han
dle, 100; owner's estimate of increas
ed yield, 50 bags per acre; cost of
operation, $16 per day; acreage ir
rigated in 10-hour day, 14; labor re
quired, three men; number of times
system used this year, three.
Crockett's system was described as
"larger than would be practical for
the average farmer but it is showing
a decided profit this, the second year
of operation."
Allen's system, a portable outfit.
