Cbddinq & Jj^ih J'hsudonL Americans who have always cherished and enjoyed the Four Freedoms will emerge from the present war demanding a fifthr—the Freedom

of Opportunity.

That was the recent declaration of Gill Robb Wilson, Republican candidate for U. S. Senator, who injected a new and significant note into political campaigns by pledging himself to work for preservation and advancement of the Four Freedoms and also the Fifth Freedom of Op-

portunity.

Said Mr. Wilson: >» . "Ever since the Atlantic Charter was written, the rallying cry for humanity has been the .Four Freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of Worship, freedom from fear and freedom from want. “These Four Freedoms have been an inspiration to the bombed, starved and persecuted peoples of the world. Yet while the Atlantic Charter has been acclaimed as the basic standard of world liberty, when the war is over the American people must have some positive goal toward which to direct the tremendous energies they have generated for the

struggle.

"That goal is the Fifth Freedom—the freedom of opportunity. “Americans must look forward to a future in which initiative, invention and enterprise can be encouraged to produce even greater commodities and services for the people. “Progress is born of experiment, and experiment means risk. Imagination and daring are as necessary to social and economic progress as they are to military victory. These qualities can best be developed in. a political, social and economic system which gives men a substantial reward for the risks they take. On no other terms will men stake their brawn, their brains and their money in new enterprise.” There is much in what Mr. Wilson says. At the 'end of the war life will be a great deal different. New products, new methods of production developed for the war effort, new materials and a new outlook on life will open vast fields for progress and advancement. New frontiers will be open. The next generation will see the world make far greater strides than any preceding generation has ever seen. The thought that the greatest period of advancement has passed is as false today as it was in the 19th century before the automobile, the airplane, electricity, radio and the many modem wonders that once seemed fantastic. But if the world is to get the most out of the future, there must be freedom of opportunity .. . incentive for experiment, exploration, advancement and a just return for effort and ingenuity that have made possible the strides that have been made in the past. We must have leaders who have faith in the future, who believe that the little people of the world can pull themselves up by their bootstraps to better standards of living if given opportunity untrammeled by governmental regulations and restrictions, prohibitive taxes and bureaucratic control. The progress America has made reached its peak in the period when free enterprise unfettered by myriads of governmental control measures flourished. Today, with increasing taxes and growing government control, there is less incentive for personal effort than there was 20 years

America has grown great because it is a land of the free. It must be kept free, must remain a land of opportunity, if it is to retain its position of world leadership. With more men like Mr. Wilson seeking public office, there is hope that the present trend will be reversed and freedom of opportunity will be assured.

d fiamady 9A TlaaaA&tViyNeed for a Coast Guard sub-station in Cape May was brought sharply into focus last week when latest war-time restrictions on fishing party boats became effective. The weekend crowd of fishermen from the metropolitan area was cut to just a small fraction of normal by the requirement for each passenger on a party boat to have a Coast Guard identification card. As a result, only a few local boats went to sea. More than 50 anglers with Navy Yard passes and other forms of identification instead of-the Coast Guard identification cards were left on the dock because of a misunderstanding over the regulations. Unless the regulations are modified or a sub-station established here, the party boat business in Cape May will probably be ruined for the duration at least. Chief difficulty of the situation is that hundreds of fishermen from the Philadelphia area, principal customers of the Cape May captains, are employed in war work and are unable to go to Coast Guard, headquarters in Philadelphia for identification cards without losing a day or a half day of .work. A sub-station here to issue the cards would eliminate much of that trouble. , fishermen could come to Cape May, get their cards and enjoy ; a day’s fishing at the same time. V ' There are many other reasons why there should be a Coast Guard ^Bub-station in Cape May. There is no reason why this port should be the tail of Atlantic City since in many respects this,is a more important

From both a commercial and pleasure fishing standpoint Cape May exceeds Atlantic City in importance. Its location is another argument

in favor of establishing a Coast Guard sub-station here.

Presence of the Navy in Cape May is no excuse for not having a Coast Guard sub-station. The Navy has its own work to perform just as the Coast Guard does. As long as the two have separate functions,

they should have separate facilities to handle them.

From the standpoint of t)ie party boat interests, it is highly desirable that the Coast Guards establish some sort of a station in Cape May Where identification cards may be obtained. Unless something of thisnature is done, and done soon, the party boat industry, which provides livelihoods for hundreds in South Jersey, is doomed for the duration.

fyuunpla 0# Jaojmvo’iL A proposal made last week by Harry Errickson, representing some Reed's Beach property owners, that up to five acres of land would be leased without cost to any manufacturer desiring to construct a factory along the bayshore holds promise for further advancement of that area. Mr. Errickson's proposal carries with it a proviso that the manufacturer shall employ residents of the Reed’s Beach area as far as possible. With big business constantly leaning more toward decentralization of plants and with war production soaring, it is highly possible that the offer may result in establishment of some sort of industry in that section of the bayshore. Through the county’s advertising and promotion bureau, the offer might be placed in the hands of those who are in need of new plant sites in this general area. The Northwest Magnesite Company’s huge plant in Lower Township is an excellent starL With the canal a reality, possibly other industrial enterprises will be established along the bayshore. Such additions to normal Cape May County business would be extremely valuable to this county’s economic well-being.
