TOWN AND COUNTRY MUST MAKE CONCESSIONS Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 30 (By The Associated Press) Townspeople and farmers must put themselves In an attitude of making concessions or as an alternative, co-operative stores established by combinations of farm ers will ultimately drive local mer chants out of the business, John M. Gillette, of the University of North Dakota, told the members of ; the American Sociological Society at iU annual meeting here yesterday. "That organizations of farmers have intensified the strife between city and country ls generally recog nized by students of the subject," con tinned Dr. Gillette. "Too often the blame Is attached exclusively to the farmers as If they have no rights of self-protection. It is not always per ceived that the business elements of cities have been organized as a profit-getting class for a long time and that the tendency is for all these ele ments to present a united front when ameliorative agricultural legislation is proposed or when farmers attempt co-operative enterprises. "If the farmers are right in their contentions that they received an unduly small proportion of the pro ceeds from their produce, then they have a right to organize both eco nomically and politically to protect their interests. But be it rememb ered that their co-operative efforts evoke about as much hostility as do their political attempts. "There are many directions for farmers and townsmen to take in their teamwork together. Good roads are mutually desirable.., Both sides have a common Interest in pro moting local Industries. They make nearby markets for certain kinds of farm produce and serve as the basis of diversified farming. "Since It Is chiefly over matters of " meir uiuej bucbb. iiie iuw I merchant insists that farmers and other consumers should patronize home industries and grow quite bit ter over buying from mail order houses. The farmer, in turn, in sists that local prices of the things 'he buys are too high and for things he Sells, too low. 'If both sides will be sensible and ' unnrmii nng TVio farmers all nil 1(1 , vu"""""" ' not be exnected to sacrifice all of , . ... ,, i"i b"" ujb " order houses, for example; nor should they expect small merchants , . efficient estabUhments. The mer Phnnr should be willing to cut ; prices and farmers to pay a margin !for local convenience. "The altenmtlvo would appear , to !be the development of co-operative .gtorfig b farmers that will ultl- mately drive local merchants out of 'business. The latter would become managers of and salesmen In such undertakings. This would remove the reason for strife." POPULATION OV FRANCE i Alsace-Lorraine, a population o. 39.400.000. France's Action Unites England And America And France Made Wrong Play If She Expects Help From The United States Great Disap pointment Over The French Attitude By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright 1921 by The Advance) Washington, Dec. 29. France is riding toward a fall so far as she may be expecting the moral help or support of the United States government in th working out of economic problems. Ordinance Committee Codifying City Laws Expert To Submit Result Of Tlielr Labors To City Council At Next Meeting The ordinance committee of the City Council Is now at work on its biggest Job since the new Council was elected in the spring'. That particular Job ls the codifica tion of the city ordinances, and it re quires that the committee go over all the numerous, ordinances that have been passed, repealed, amended and passed all over again by City Councils since 1917, the last year in which such an undertaking was completed and the result published. The ordinance committee hopes to have Its codification of local laws completed by the next regular meatlng of the City Council on Mon day"Miight. The ordinances will be classified and published in booklet form, probably within the next few weeks; ad again the 'people of El izabeth City will, fqr a short time at least, have an authoritative ref erence book containing the laws which they are expected to obey. At present, it ls understood from the city auditor, the various ordin ances passed since 1917, along wth the amendments to them and to the older ordinances, are officially re corded only in the minutes of the Council meetings. They have been published, one or two at a time as they were passed, in the newspa pers of the city; but nowhere except in the auditor's office and by a care ful pernsal of many pages of minutes can the average citizen or anybody else, refer to them at all, unless by a painstaking examination of news paper files of the last four years.

D. Flood. re- suits are likely to ensue from the French policy of obstruct ion at the Washington confer ence. The disappointment ov er France's attitude on the lim itation of submarines is so great that the strongest kind of talk is" heard in official circles, the net effect of which is to draw Great Britain and the United States closer together as apart from France. The feeling here ls that France is unyielding in her attitude on the building of submarines largely be cause of the French-British friction which, has been developing ever since the end of the World War.' The move' of France in ask ing for more submarines ls regard ed as purely antl-Brltlsh and as a means of offsetting what the French claim to be anti-French tactics In Eu rope on the part of the British, es pecially In relation to Near Eastern questions and a growing concord be tween England and Germany. ( But while France 1b making her gestures in the great game of Euro pean diplomacy, "--hoping to bring England to terms on continental mat ters, she is forgetting the effect up on the Ignited States. Unfortunately for France nobody ln'the delegation here seems to be.fttfong enough to shape French policy which is now be ing mapped out in Europe Irrespec tive of effects upon America. Some observers have suggested that France is revenging herself for the failure of the United States to ratify either the Versailles treaty or the defensive treaty between Great Britain, the Un ited States and France. Others are saying that France is playing for a British guarantee of French securi ty and that at the proper moment she will yield tier demand for large armament. But the most Important phase of the whole matter, at least so far as European economics recon struction is concerned, hinges upon a friendly attitude 'on the part of the Harding-Hughes administration to ward Europe. The tendency tpytarA isolation has been slowly overcome by various moves made by tne Hard ing administration, particularly In being willing to attend meetings of the Supreme Council and in the cal ling of the armament conference it self. But the Impression created by the French tactics here Is to cool the ardor of the administration to ward more conferences with Europ ean powers, particularly France. Another thing the Supreme Coun cil is meeting at Cannes to discuss the economic reconstruction ol Eu rope, and there are plans fA the bringing of both Russia and Gemany into the conference. pie United States , Government- has been asked to attend. The drift here has been toward participation, but the extent of America's interest in these com ing conferences is a matter ifor the American executive to determine. If the French plan to spend their money jfor the building of submarines, air craft and crulBers, and Intend to maintain a large standing army, thev can hardly hope tor' the support of the American representative at the Supreme Council meetings, and In the larger confereril! In which Rus sia and Germany are to participate. In a nut shell, the attitude of the French at the Washington conference must be interpreted in the light of broader events in world diplomacy. The effect of her obstructive tacttcs will long be felt hy the Washington .administration In the years' immedl- and further away from European I questions of an economic as well as The most far-reaching political character until the Euro- f peans themselves, particularly France, give evidence of better splr It toward the maintenance of pea on the continent. f A
