KJCOUCH New York ".- Boston Chicago - Z2i Fifth Are. 21 Devonshire People Qaa JJd SlttYAJrr, GRIFFITH BBTOSOff. MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1921 ' Williams on Foreign Investments John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, in a recent address before the Senate, made a statement the Import - of "which is startlingly like that" of. a "bitter-ender". This was to the effect that "Ameri can capital should be kept at home for the, de velopment of American resources and not be in vested in foreign countries." According td the Senator's plan, we should withdraw wftnin our- selves, hare industrial relations with the world only as buyer and seller, and prevent the export of capital. He would prohibit foreign ownership of property in this country, and would prefer the enaction of similar legislation by Other nations. If Senator Williams had his way our greatlipld-i ings in Mexico,' Peru, Bolivia, Chile, would cease pouring their profits into our treasury of capital, j says the New Orleans Times-Picayune. We would be faced with the necessity of-disposing of 'our enormous holdings In South American countries, in sugar, coffee, bananas, asphalt, and of all the other foreign industrial investments which have created capital for home investments and for further foreign trade expansion. Not merely the direct return in dividends, but the fact that . capital investments open new markets for foreign trade, must be counted In considering the value of American Investments in foreign fields. .The latter, factor Is of increasing importance to us, sinceV to quote a Forum article, "By reason of our extraordinary growth ,and development we now manufacture In eight months all that we can consume in a year and for four months of each year we are dependent for t the continuance of , business. upon the markets of the world." - It is easier to conceive of the Untted States passing legislation restricting our own foreign holdings, than' it is to imagine England,' France, or Germany doing the same thlng Under con ditions such as those Senator Williams would create, England would not have been able to pur chase stock in the Suez Canal, the practical own ership of which has been of tremendous value to her commerce. France and' England could not have questioned Germany's right to the Berlin to Bagdad line With such evidence of profit in the past, it is difficult to imagine 'European nations, . demanding 'every means of recouninr tW l nRRPK Of ' the past six years, in any scheme to restrict their field of operation or cut off ' sources, of income. As for Germany, we understand that she is send ing most of her immigrants to South America, and she. would Welcome the elimination of the United States from the South American field, t where , she could "pacifically penetrate" without competition. The conclusion seems to be that, especially since we have long-time loans in Europe, Involving great credits, whose liquidation, must necessarily be slow, we can not afford financial isolation any more than we can afford social isolation. .; - o- " - y No Selfish Cause , Addressed primarily to .former students of the University of North Carolina,' the eloquent mes sage which President Chase has written for the Alumni Review of. January ought to be brought to the attention of every person who would have the golden promise of this State realized. " "Never was the State faced by a greater crisis,"' Bays President Chase in this appeal for a greater university. "The issue is simply and Clearly ' , wneiner Bne snail save dollars or grow men. .Shall she hide in a napkin the "greatest gift that - God has given herthe gift of fine, clean young' ' ' manhood, youth of the - sturdy old American , strain?" - , , - . , -.

They have no'chosen the frank- and oen way. They have preferred to make up their minds without reference to ,the popular will, and to achieve their stubborn purpose through the hldder . processes of political, maneuvering. The time has' come for them to speak. Why, are the county commissioners pressing the fee system? -How will it profit New Hanover, how . will it. improve the public service? Why do the commissioners want the fee system? ' - . T : - v' The Rural, Telephone . - Having occasion the 'other, jday. to seek Im mediate information from a news association at Washington we turned to the long distance tele', phone, gave brief .instructions to the business like young woman whose voice we heard, and, in ' the course of perhaps not more than ten minutes, had the satisfaction of conversing with our remote friend. The telephone, long distance, and local, is accepted by millions nowadays as a matter of course an aid in our business and social rela tions that is indispensable. We do not often pause to consfder that there are millions of others in our own country- who da not yet fully share this great modern convenience. A letter has just come from Mr. rP. H. .Daggett, director of. the Division of. Home Comforts and Conveniences, of the State Highway Commission, calling our attention to a late booklet on "The Construction of Rural Telephone Lines.". "The country telephone is the only one of the phases of our work In which the country people of the State have not shown tremendous interest," he writes. "Perhaps it is because the community spirit is not so highly developed as It is in other states.". . , - - The -lack of interest is most regrettable,' not merely as. evidencing a want of community spirit, but because in the effort to struggle along with out the jtelephone Our rural population is losing one of the most potent instruments for the crea tion and development of, community spirit. The booklet which Mr Daggett forwarded, one of the University extension leaflets, is a timely addition to this list of practical publications. The process of initiating and organizing . a rural telephone company is fully described. The methods of actual construction .are given graphically and in detail. Estimates of cost show that ; the iiral population need not be- denied the advantages " of the telephone because of expense. . ' 'Remarkable progress in the extension of "phone" lines" to. the farming communities has been made in recent years. , This has not applied to North Carolina in the degree that has been evident, in some other sections. Yet the telephone K is not merely a "home comfort" or a "home convenience' it is both, but, also a home necessity. s v- :r "' i i o : - . Privacy in Voting r ' The measure of popular support that will be. won for the bill to provide for privacy in voting will be determined larrelv bv the deanrAA of nnnn. lar understanding of the" principles and practices involved. in this proposed act. It is encouraging to note the active sponsorship of the North Caro lina Legislative Council, of 'Women. This bill is one of the items of the Council's legislative pro gram and has been introduced In 'V the General Assembly by the only ' woman member. Miss Clement ;- These associations, however, should ( cause none to believe that it is any special sense a woman's bill; the support which club-women of the State are .giving' to the measure may properly be viewed Only as evidence of their seal for free dom and honesty of elections, not as a suggestion of ? any desire for exceptional consideration for the woman voter. .. " . ;, , v,;;.: y.-. It may be stated aa a simple principle that what ever 'tends to promote privacy, in voting tends 4 also to promote freedom of expression on the part' of the voter. - Most of us who have 'enjoyed the privilege of : the franchise are familiar with the conditions which often destroy or, seriously impair this freedom. The opportunities for ihe exercise j of Intimidation, in its many forms and shades, ' are Known' to every observant' voter, H 'If . it? v The whole drift of enlightened . and " honest opinion in the inatter of election reform is in the directioai of; those changes that afford the yoter seclusion, an abundance . of .time and the utmost freedom1 from . interference, r distractions and'' "help". f InMnsiderate XVprid This is a queer world. : First we,"the consumer, were urged by all the powers that be,-financial and governmentaljto 'save, to "strp"" against higher" prices, to " curb our national Joyous sin ot extravagance, to . put something" by for a rainy day,; if there was anything left after the demands, of food and a roof Were met Ntiw We feel' great: regret for all. our sins, for a repTsentative.4f the wool manufaciurersA Colonel TlPi WoOCsrhas ' told' the 'Finance Committee pfjhe.

'The Austrian ' dovernment, according to German, despatches, announces to the Entente that it has reached the end of its re sources and. cannot longer conduct ..business. Hence it asks for a receivesship. ' The -UniCed States has sometimes undertaken involuntary liquidation "as In HaytiJ an Santo Domingo J but . this fs the first time that a proud, historic European nation has. asked for such pro cedure. It. may not be the last; in - manner, a precedent may be established, therefore, by the Austrian request that, the Reparations Commission run the country.. ; ; ; . ; , r : ? ' -' Of bankruptcy there is no doubt. Austria is in one sense not destitute. But lands and houses, factories and torests and shops and theatres, arc not liquid assets and Will not pay bills. The cur rency is so inflated that the paper kronen : are worth only about 1 per cent of par.. Official salaries cannot be paid in any medium that buys food. . " ' .. ' , The Entente forced upon Austria" a boundary on ethnographical lines, ignoring trade, industry, commerce everything by s which .nations live. .French fears have refused Austria permission to become, as It should, a South German state like Bavaria, with a trade outlet to the world. So the problem fairly belongs to the Entente: Representing exterior , creditors, the Repara tions Commission Is the natural receiver. Home creditors are hopeless in. any case. However the country is finally1 liquidated, the first step must be to burn the paper money and most of the junior bonds. But the first step in feeding it will be to surt Industries, buying material and tools with receiver's certificates. ..--'--.r-V If the Reparations .Commission cannot wind up the country withoqt political changes, Its experi ence may teach the Entente a lesson in self-deter- . mination ; as a requisite to ' national solvency i THE SENATORIAL' SHIRTS New York Times I . The change in the Ministry, an old story in France, seems to have excited Paris far less than the fact that an 'unpatriotic shopkeeper overcharged Senator "Medlll McCor mick for some shirts. True, at the present ex change rate 150 francs is only $8.82, not an exorbitant -price for a shirt particularly a shirt from the Rue de la Paix; still more for a Sena-' torlal shirt; above aU, for the Shirt of Medill Mc-. Cormickv .Doubtless they were good shirts ; they must have-been. Ex pede Herculem; that is to say by the shirt you can pick out . the Senator. But whether the price was too high or. not, the Senator thbught.it was too high. He said so to a friend, and Paris papers lament that "one of the most important men who have lately, come here from America, one of whose friendship we have need," has been unfavorably impressed. To make ifworse, a Paris paper publishes, 'and Berlin- officials confirm, - the story that- Senator McCormick told members of the German Govern ment that the Poles were an inefficient lot and that Germany ought to keep -Upper Silesia. Per haps this pronouncement on world politics may be traced back to a Warsaw hotel bill; smaller things than this have affected . the destiny of nations. Stotr Of Yat ; - By Frederic J.

Word spread ; abroad that the island of Yap was the one v thin we were to rgret out of the. war, and. Tap became a familiar allusion in 'American conversation. Everybody knew it-was an island,, and some people could even locate it at least to the extent of be ing sure that It was in the ocesn, probably in the Paeiflc. , 4' Meanwhile, the United States huns back about signing the treaty, the Cable, conference - was' not called, and it became known thata-long time be fore; Japan and Sngland had become interested in the , welfare of Tap and had made a, secret treaty to-' provide for its future,. The treaty arranged for. the German-owned islands in the Pacific to be-divided Into two lots those above the equator for Japan, and those below for Great Sri tain. With this agreement in mind, Japan had al ready run up the Japanese flag In Yap, which is one of the Caroline Island group, east o the, Philippines. - - v At the same time Japan sealed all the Cable , ends at Tap. This meant that communication in the Pacific was crippled, for lines running to Shanghai, center, with lines running to Shanghai, Guam, and Menado, so that these points are : connected with the United States at San Francisco. Guam, not far from Tap, is also a cable base, . but the 'Pacific needs two. In case of storms or damage to jon of the cable lines. Our ..commercial communication with the east has for some ,Ume been hampered as a result of the Japanese seizure of the cable base at Yap. ' Japeuteee New There .Japan is on the ground, but the peace convention presumably agreed to Mr. Wilson's conference suggestion, and, it would seem, gave him to understand that the cabie rights of Yap, if not the 'Island itself, were to be ours. This is the highly strategic Tap situation, regarding which the state department finds no words sufficiently meaningless to be safely uttered at present. As a 'piece, of land Tap wouldn't be worth any nation wasting language over. As a cable landing it is a prize which is not . to be carelessly abandoned. Tap as a tropical island, however, is far more interesting than Tap as a cable bate. It is a seldom visited' Island, but It . has nad one enthusiastic biographer In William H. Furness, who has given us a fascinat ing account of . the life and ways of the Tappers. In -Tap, Mr. Furness found a com munistlc scheme of life operating- on "a really practical basis.-Certain peculiar factors make -practicable in Tap that communistic .life which has sot often failed in .western countries. These are the. character of the land, and - the temperament, of the People.

Stone Money " L.ife is reduced to its lowest terms without sacrificing comfort. Tet the people of this island do not go to the limits of communism. ' Thejr believe strongly in personal property, and they have a rigid monetary system. It is extremely rude to enter another's house without invitation. As 'for the money, it is - not in wnstant" circulation, for there is hot a great deal to buy. but there is a good deal of it in evidenoe. To purchase some trinket, or fish from the fishermen, shell money is used. But in big transactlonSi ln a real estate deal, or in buying a canoe, stone money must.be produoed. .v..:-.,- . Thls stone money (aquarried on, an island '400 miles awa and shipped Co ,Tap where it is official currency. Each piece is is round as i the .cutters can make it, and has a hole in it.
