FIRST IN EIGHTEEN YEARS;
MANY MORE TO COME
i The 35,000-ton battleship North Carolina was placed in
I
active service on April 9. It is the first battleship to be built
in the United Staes in eighteen years and was commissioned
nearly three months ahead of schedule.
The "newest and most formidable fighting ship in the
world" will have a complement of 1,500 officers and men. She
will carry nine 16-inch guns, each sixty feet long, and they
'fall hurl some twenty tons of TNT every sixty seconds on a
target eighteen miles away.
The battleship is a costly vessel. The North Carolina rep-
resents an expenditure of $67,725,500. Ihis is enough to build
many schoolhouses but few Americans today regret the money
that is in her hull and machinery.
The big ship will make twenty-seven knots. It is provided
with blisters for protection against torpedoes and mines
Armored decks protect against shells and bcmbs, and vital
points are guarded by sixteen inches of steel plate. The sea-
ondary battery of twenty guns *is available against planes as
well as surface targets. There are other smaller guns for air-
craft defense. She carries four airplanes.
The powerhouse of the dreadnought develops 115,000 horse-
power from oil-fired boilers. She measures 704 feet in length
at the waterline and has a maximum beam of 108 feet. It
takes about twenty-seven feet of water to float her.
The comforing thought, in connection with the commission-
ing of this battleship, is that others like her and much larger
are on the way. Another will be in service in a month or so.
Four more will be ready in a year. Afterwards, battleships
will steam from construction yards at the rate of six or more
a year, and some of them will be almost twice the size of the
North Carolina.—Henderson Times.

LONG-RANGE VIEW
The tragedy of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's position with
regard to America's role in world affairs just now does not lie
in his insistence that we take no part m a "European quarrel,"
but in his evident belief that any modern power can ignore the
Nazi-Fascist effort to make brute force supreme.
Do we want to live in a neighborhood or city in which the
jnan with the most guns or brass knucks lords it over the rest
of the citizenship, or do v;e want it demonstrated that society
must be organized on a higher plane if the useful side of life
is to come into its own?
The job of policing individuals is perhaps not a pretty
one, it is not poetic or philosophical or loftily altruistic, but
we have to put someone on it or the antisocial individual will
give us no opportunity to practice the things that do fall under
these heads, and it is the same way with nations.
It Makes All the Difference In the World.

If we are going to sit idly by while strong-headed nations
establish a precedent of militaristic domination of others, the
time cannot fail to come when we must eat of the bitter fruit
of such a precedent. We must be "our brother's keeper" in self-
defense, if for no better reason, or, like the .small nations of
Europe who refuse to unite against the aggressor, see our time
come also.
Colonel Lindbergh missed the opportunity of the century
to inspire the American people to band themselves together
under the banner of the right, that of world leadership for
international justice. In attempting to set America apart as
a "disinterested" nation, he has violated the same law of human-
ity as Hitler and Mussolini have in segregating theirs as "con-
quering" peoples. What a commentary on his prior service in
uniting nations in good will and cooperation through his flight
to Europe and around the Americas!
t If we encourage aggression by withholding aid from
its victims it can be only a question of time up.til we ourselves
threatened by the same forces, and we shall have lost
our chance of being classed with those who opposed rule of
I
(force. In such a case, what chance would we have of !
rallying the rest of the free nations, if there are any, to our j
cause?
It may sound banal to those living under our peaceful j
Bkies to raise a cry for national unity and all-out effort
against forces in faraway Europe, but we should not be so j
shortsighted as to fail to see how distance is being annihilated
by war-makers.
Had we rather run the risk of being termed jingoes and '
war-mongers or the risk of being enslaved? The American !
tradition says there is only one choice, and that is to fight for j
the right.—Longview Morning Journal.
