WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1923. A Uniform Game Law. -o It is gratifying to note that there is some hope of the legislature pass ing a. uniform game law. This mat ter has been before the legislature however for many years, and- each county has insisted on making its ^own arrangements to suit its own sportsmen. Nothing but a uniform, law throughout the State can serve, to protect and preserve game and to prevent the destrucion of wild fowl and wild animals. Our concepion of uniform game law is one that preserves and pro tects game as a basis of a sport and not as an object of commerce. Game has no commercial value -when the cost of marketing same is considered, but when properly protected and pre served it has a commercial 'value in bringing people to the State who spend money in following the sport of hunting. All the game in North .Carolina if .caught and marketed would probably not feed our people for a day, but when properly pre served it becomes a source of much pleasure to our own people and is an inducement to bring others here who will spend money. A license to a non-resident should be good in any county, aqd the licen ses and regulations should be uni form. The treatment, both of our own people and non-residents with reference td? .hunting should be liber al, but the restriction as to the open season and the kind of game that should be killed, should be rigid and should be enforced. With our. pros pective road system, public resorts and other inducements which we pro pose to offer to tourists a uniform game law will be of great value and restrictions can be made which will prevent- the destruction of game by residents and non-Tesidents, and at the same time guarantee much good sport. Judge Grady’s First Court. -0 Judge Henry A. Grady, of Clinton, elected a judge of the superior court of North Carolina, at the bi-ennial election, November 7, opened his first court at New Bern Monday. He de livered a fine charge to the grand jury and entered upon his judicial functions in accordance with the best traditions of the dignity of North Carolina courts. Judge Grady is em inently qualified for the bench,\ and ibis qualifications include knowledge of the law, conscientious conception of his lofty duty, fidelity to the in terests of organized society, loyalty to his state and to his country, and the character and courage to render emin ent service as a member of the judi ciary of the very great state of North Carolina. The newspaper reports from New Bern state that Judge Grady opened • court in the formal way and charged the jury “without making reference to the Ku Klux.” We observe, in that connection, that his honor re frained from making the slighest ref erence to the Masons, the Odd Fel lows, the Knights of Pythias, the Knights of Columbus or other orders. He interpreted to the grand jury its solemn duties and they include the passing on bills of indictments tor every manner of offence against the laws of North Carolina, regard less of the state, church, party, or lodge affiliations of defendants. The : statutes appear to have taken no ac . count of whether a defendant is white black or yellow, or whether he is a “belonger” or a non-affillationist. It Is Up To France. : -o According to Washington dis patches, based upon official authority, the state department has already had placed before the “ French Govern ment certain proposals looking to a solution of -the • reparations problem. Just how long the American proposal or suggestion has been laid formally "before the’ Poincare" government is not stated. At any rate, the Paris authorities have made no definite response to American overtures, if such they are. Nevertheless, France has been officially Informed of the American views. France seems to have taken no of ficial action with reference to the tender o? friendly offices on the part of the United States, and the indica tions are that the Poincare govern ment intends to proceed with the French plan of coercion before taking up the plans of outsiders. However, the American proposals have been well received in some quarters abroad. The French military authorities have made arrangements to go into German territory, some 60,000 strong, as a force backilig the civil force which France is to send beyond the Rhine to collect reparations dues from German Industries and exports. The French parliament has not yet sanctioned this fresh , invasion of German territory but it will meet to morrow to pass upon them. Mean while, it is said that Premier Poin care will have.some^of his plans un der execution before parliament ean have time to take up the .matter. That is the news as we get u irum Paris, but we rather anticipate that M. Poincare will not proceed'on such arbitrary and autocratic lines. It would show how much danger one man can be. in disturbing the situa tion in Europe. The German government has ex pressed itself . very • strongly- against -threatened invasion by France, and all German'parties and the people are united -in . ttieir condemnation of France’s action. , Whether there is to by opposition no ohe can .say, but there is very grave danger of it. It might take the course of .a revolution and that is really feared In both Germany; and other 'European coun tries. The New York Times discusses this grave matter as “The French Ex periment,” and that paper makes this Interesting contribution, to a subject which the whole world. is now con cerned about: ... ■ The net result of the diplomatics • negotiations of the past week is to leave France with a free hand to appTyTser own Ideas of the way In which to force a settlement of the reparation* question. England will not go with her, but will not hinder her. The last words of Mr. Bonar Law in Paris to M. Poincare were to the effect that he did not believe that the French plan would work, but that if it did no one would be more pleased than he. It is evident, too. that the Government of the United States iwll stand aside and see whereto the vexed French experiment will lead. In tile main point, the at titude of the Washington Admin istration must remain the same as it was when defined by Secre tary Hughes a week ago: "We have no desire to see Ger many relieved of her responsibili ty for the war of her just obliga tions to make reparation for the injuries due to her aggression. There -is not the slightest desire that France should lose any part of her just claims.” Now, it may be unwise, and may I prove wholly futile, for the | French Government to go ahead with the project for taking econo mic possession of the Ruhr as a "productive guarantee.” That can not he decided In advance. But what can be decided in ad vance Is that France will be act ing within her strict legal rights. She will be proceeding under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which was framed with foresiht of just such an emergency as has arisen. On this subject a great deal of exaggerated talk has been heard. Some rash commentators, hardly striving to conceal their sympathy with afflicted Germany, denounce the proposed French move as the beginning oi a new war, and say that is will be only less lawles and inhuman than was the Invasion of Belgium by Ger many. But what says the Treaty which Germany signed as well aB France? In the part dealing with reparations, one clause reads: “The measures which the Allied and Associated Powers shall have the right to take, in case of volun tary default by Germany, and which Germany agrees not to re gard as acts of war, may include economic and financial prohibi tions arid reprisals and in general such other measures as the re spective Governments may deter mine to be necessary in the cir cumstances.” Thus it appears that, whether expedient or otherwise, the ad vance into the Kuhr which is threatened by France would be wholly within her assured right under the treaty of peace. But it is not yet certain that France in tends, or will be compelled, to make the advance. Before the fatal day of declaring Germany, in voluntary default arrives many things may happen. It may turn out that the French have again been right, while others have been wrong, in readin the psychology of the Germans. Already there are ■ hints from Berlin that the Cuno Ministry is making ready a better and concrete offer to France, which it hopes may' be acceptable. The quotation from the reparations clause gives the ‘‘allied and associa ted powers” the right to make repri sals, and three out of four of the en tente have decided on the French course. France, Belgium and Italj are the allied powers responsible foi ‘the reprisals, and resistance is prob ably not contemplated by the Ger mans. The worBt thing about it is that they might stand for it now, but it will remain an open sore as long as there is a Germany. -o—i The Manufacturing Idea. # -o The pioneer shirt manufacturer conceived the idea that since mil lions of men': in the United States wear shirts, there must be a fine in dustrial oportunity in. the manufac ture of shirtp. Well, it is a fine busi ness, as one may Judge from the an nual report of a New York shirt com pany;., The company paid a 19?2 stock dividend of $2,090,173, and figured up^ a profit of $1,949,696. At the begin ning of 1823, the company’s capitali zation registered the nifty sum ,pf $7,090,173. The possibilities in shirt manufacturing, or any other branch of manufacture is in the increased business that a factory may do each year that it is efficiently managed.; In i the case of this shirt company, its ['profits in 1922 over net profits : in 1921, were $606,323. This manufac turing' company’s net profits in 1921 were $1,025,377, compared with 1922 of $1,949,696, less federal and state taxes which reduced them to' $1,631. 700. The taxes, of , course, will jbe passed on down to those who wear one or more shirts. The Star’s motive in publishing this is to impress upon Wilmingtonian's the possibilities : in manufacturing' these articles which are absolute necessities for millions of people. -o—: The Land o£ Cotton. -o One of the ^largest manufacturing concerns in the north- uses many thousands of bales of cotton in its business, so it has bought 10,000 acres of land in the cotton belt in order to grow its own raw material. Opportu nities in the south for the production of factory raw materials on the farm are limited only to the intelligence of the human element in constructi ve. Why doesn’t the whole push come on down south? -o The past few days ought to he sut ficient to enable us to see the biggest opportunities in Wilmington. They are here for us. Each and all of us ought to be glad that those we owe don't mobilize the army and adopt all sorts of rough methods for squeezing blood out of a turnip. -o Lots of communities in North Caro lina had better be ready to go North Carolina is going to carry them along with her? Her gait is along the homestretch. . > ■, . We might as well remind President Harding that normalcy is impossible until the jazz-mined psychology of this age takes its place* in tradition with the dodo. ——o One of the justices of the supreme court of Ohio is a woman. If ever that honorable court has to talk back at any of the lawyers, you know which member of the court can be depended on to say a plenty. -o While the cotton growers are fight ing the cotton boll weevil, forward looking cottontots of the major class have to keep* up the fight on “the world conspiracy against cotton.* Even now, it takes more than two pounds of cotton to buy a pound of butter. Chicago pays more for six hogs than New York wants to pay for a bale of cotton. -o The Windy City has tapped the wires in order to let the world know that “Chicago sees a big year ahead.” Even though the Great Lakes dry up, Chicago never would be a calamity howler. Chicago wou^ see a huge land opportunity just' as Boon as the bottom of the lakes could be utilized for farm settlements. Wfrat are we going to'do with the millions'of acres of unutilized lands in eastern North Carolina? CONTEMPORARY VIEWS. FHA.VCE SELF-ISOLATED It looks as It there would now be a showdown In Europe. The break between Great Britain and France is described as an “amicable j-upture,” but benign words do not lessen the Intense seriousness of Poincare’s ul timatum and Bonar Law’s departure from Paris. The two governments which dictate the terms of peace to Europe and all of Western Asia have separated. . ’ The fundamental Cause of separa tion, was over the question of whether German Industry should be destroyed in the name of reparations or restored In the interest of European trade. The French policy of a permanently prostrated Germany could not be rec onciled with 'the British policy of a restored and prosperous Germany. The French policy of seizing repara tions by bayonets could not be recon ciled with the British policy of earn ing reparations by trade. /These are the underlying disagreements which were made Insoluble by the terrible . load of debts and taxation which the British and French people must carry. The British have gone home, leav ing France to carry out her declared policy. Great Britain for the moment has transformed herself into a neutral power as between France and Ger many. The, French have a free hand, as they ' demanded, but so have the Germans. The British troops on the Rhine. Ilk* the America® troops on the Rhine, are not the allies of France In any action she may choose to take. They are neutral soldiers In £ny con flict which France now decides to to provoke. A terrible responsibility rests upon the French . government. It has committed itself to- measures] which in the opinion of practically the whole neutral world are ganger- | ous, provacative and self-defeating. It . must deal alone -with a Germany j which is almost certain to feel that the victorious alliance supporting the Treaty of Versailes has come to an end. It must deal with a Germany which has not failed to note the suc cesses of the Irish, the Kemalits Turks and the Fascist!. France is free to act. She is free to learn by experience. May it not be so costly an experiment ^as most neutrals fear.—New York World. -0 THE PIEDMONT’S GROWTH Thinkers realise that the textile center of the United States is shifting from New England to the South and to the Piedmont South. Therefore the Piedmont section of South Carolina has a wonderful opportunity, and it seems that the citizens of this section ‘are realizing it. For the coming of the textile center there has been sure and steady pre paration for a quarter of a century, and the live cities and towns of the Piedmont are looking into the future with confidence of progress and with strong belief that the real beginning of the life of the textile industry will take place during this important year 1023. Not onlji is the Piedmont beginning to grow industrially but it is going forward agriculturally as. never be fore in its history. The people-Of this region seem to be inspired by the spirit which must always guide those who accomplish things. They are working daily for their section. They are planning daily for their section. They are thinking daily for their sec tion. Such sane methods can not fail to prove successful. I The whole nation Is watching South Carolina's Piedmont section.—Char leston American. -0 AMERICA AND EUROPE The kaleidoscopic) changes in the European debt and reparations prob lem have at last brought matters to i such a pass that the United States ap pears in the~rlght light. Representa tives of the Administration have given assurance that tve are ready, on some basis, to intervene as negotia tors or students of the reparations problem, when, as, and if. we are re quested to do so. To that position our authorities appear to be holding. Meanwhile, France, the recalcitrant refuses any such mediation or assist ance. She would apparently like to see this country blindly ready to lay all the money that might be wanted by either side in the controversy with out let or htnderance upon the altar of their self-approval, but not to give our representatives 'any "look-in” that would help bring about a real adjustment. Such a serious study might show that there is every rea son for demanding, and no reason for refusing, payment of the debt' claims we now hold against France. So there is a disposition to "hold off.” Despite the repeated asseveration both here and abroad that there is no connection between reparations and the funding of European debts to the United States, the present at titude of France is serving to suspend or kill any disposition there may have been in the Senate to modify the terms of the World War Debt Funding act. In these circumstances there is, of course, nothing further that we can well do. We have diplomatically suggested our good offices, and it would be Idle to attempt' more, pend ing some display of disposition on the part Of the contending parties to ac cept them.
