Returning here today from Greensboro, where he attended the meeting of the Republl can state committee and was steam rollered by the Morehead-Llnney or ganization, former Senator Marion Butler Issued a bitter statement assail ing the majority of the committee and referring to its leaders as a "hog- combine." The performancea of the committee, Mr. Butler says, were more shameful than any gathering of carpetbag days. Mr. Butler said he was not mad, but was disgusted, as lie predicted most of the Republicans of the Btate would be. The former senator says his sugges tions for harmony were spat upon and spurned; that those In control cared neither for narmony nor ine weirare of the party, and that the entire meet In? was a job-grabbing affair direct ed by a ring-master who was a man of small calibre. Whether one sides with Mr. Butler or the Morehead-Llnney faction of North Carolina politics, the statement made today by Butler Is one or the hottest documents ever contributed to the Republican politics of the state. He says about everything one may say In parliamentary language ard it is ap parent that he and the organisation are at outs for good. What will happen when Mr. Butler takes his troubles and charges to the White House, as he proposes to do, is a story yet to develop. His Program Got No Reception. Discussing ths reception of his "har mony program," former Senator Butler spoke as follows: "My harmony program received no reception whatever from the majority of the committee. Tney spurnea ana pat upon every suggestion for a har mony program under which men of ths highest qualifications, representing an elements of the party, snouia oe e i.t,4 to represent the government it the Important positions of honor and trust. They did hot want harmonjv .'" neither wer they Interested In ths . success of th party. All fcy. wanted was to take all of the onices tor mem elves, and that Is exactly what they conspired to do. A majority of the committee, under the leadership of a mall ringmaster, who snoweo ai n .... that ha waa readv to seat negro delegates over white, regardless of the evidence In order to gei coiu . the patronage pie trough, formed a hog combine to divide all of the offices among themselves. Of course, the smaller such a man Is in a combine ths more he asserts his right to the biggest office, to the exclusion of more competent men on the committee, to say nothing of the large number of vastly more competent and deserving men all over tne staie. "It Is now known that it was the surnoae of this small hog combine to i keep the time and place of this com .1,... ..,in.. n ret.

Indeed, the combine, it is now known, had also agreed on. for their new chairman, the little boss man Friday, who helped him with the negro delogate business at Chicago; hut when the combine learn ed that the dark delegate business at Chicago was known, they decided to hold Mr. I.inney on the Job for the present, because they were evidently afraid to risk the election of either tne Hon. J. J. Parker or the Hon. A. A. Whitener. Besides, the east was de manding the chairmanship If there was to he a change, and this combine was determined that the east should have nothing, outside of the combine mem bership. It Is known that many prom inent men In the party in various sections of the state, who wanted to be present when matters of public of fice were considered, were prevented from attending bv the false and mis leading report about the purpose of the meeting.

Debs returned to the Atlanta federal penitentiary today to resume ! the routine of prison life again after his trip to Washington where he discussed his case with Attorney-General Daugh erty. The socialist leader, who Is serving a tn-year teroron conviction of violat ing the war-time espionage act, was smiling and cheerful as hs alighted from the train and In the brief time before he met the warden and was whisked away to the prison, he answer ed every question asked him except those about his conference or his chances for release. "I appreciated the confidence shown in me by letting me go alone and on my honor to Washington." said Mr Debs, "and I enjoyed the trip." "Yes. I'm going back to be a good convict again," he said smilingly a moment later In answer to a query as to whether he was going directly tt the prison. The socialist leader feels that the department of justice has been "fair and square with him so far, no matter what the final decision Is. according to Samuel Castleton, attorney for Debs Mr. Castleton Joined him at Buford Ga.. this morning and rode Daca, Dis cussing the status of his case.

T. BOST. Halelgh, March 25. Governor Cam eron Morrison, christened editoria'ly by the Daily News as progressive. Is cred ited by the council of state with the interruption of the first two million loan which Chairman Frank Page of the highway commission sought ln stanter. The council of state Isn't exactly sore on the column editorial In the Dally News of Wednesday. It appreciates the papers feeling on the abbreviated bal lot, a device which might cut short the tenure of life-termers lnthe coun oil. But the cabinet of the governor which is about as foreign to him po litically as any that ever sat by a chief executive, declines to accept the Dally News write-up None of the members has asked for any statement. The editorial has been so much kicked that It has been neces sary to lead back to the cauae of the complaint. And It is ths agreement at lease of a majority of the council that when Frank Page asked for the two million dollars Treasurer Lacy took the case to the council and Governor Morrison sat down on him so hard that he saushed the life out of Lacy The request of Mr. Page was based on the elastic provision of the law reading thus: "The state treasurer, by and with the consent of the governor and council of state, ia hereby autho rised to borrow money at the lowest rats of Interest Obtainable, In antlcipa tlon of the sale of bonds herein autho rised to be Issued. The state treasurer is hereby further authorized by and with the council of state, to borrow monev at the lowest rate of Interest obtainable, for the purpose of paying the Interest on, or any installments of the said bonds. In the event there are not sufficient funds In the state treas ury with which to pay said Interest or installments of principal as tney re spectively fall due." The rate of inter est is fixed by the council. The Governor Dominated. When Treasurer Lacy laid the re quest of Mr. Page before Governor Morrison, the executive without hesi tation declared hi opposition to mak ing the loan. The governor's reasons so Imp-esse attviaxe tmrt ha -wtltd. Governor Morrison thought the proper time to take up this question was after the reorganisation or tne new commission, which takes place April 1. It Is understood that Mr. Page yielded to ths governor's view and that his dominated the council. For that reason the council of state thinks it Is getting an abnormal knock when its spowesman who asked action on $2,000,000 was sat upon by the gov ernor who talked it out of its good Intentions. Far-fetched indeed. It thinks that it should be abolished and Its successor appointed by the gov ernor, who would take care to name men in sympathy with It. This coun cil always has objected to the consti tutlnnal amendment limiting Its life to two terms; always it has bpposed abolition of the elective offices, the primary, or any other device wnicn will make it easy to get rid of ths members. But the fact that the council did acquiesce In the views of the governor when Mr. Lacy would have made a stab to get the money for Pago, Is not popularly construed to mean that the body will always be so easily con trolled. The governor is not an active member of the council. He Is the pre siding officer, but if he desired emi nent authority for participation In leglslallve affairs by a presiding offi cial, the governor's running mate. Lleutensnt Governor w. a. cooper, furnishes it. The council not only says It was not reactionary, it was so pro gressive that it kept right up with the chief executive. It does not promise always to do so. These large departmental meetings which Governor Morrison has been calling as a sort of extra session of Congress, will soon assume the nature of a debating society and the council of state can conceive Itself as chief of Insurgents against his excellency. Then it submits that It will be a can didate for the maledictions of the Dally News. This council very frankly admits that it does not like to be abol ished, and especially for the sins of the governor. I. Hearing Jear End. Charlotte.

T TO RESUME ITS TRADE WITH RUSSIA JUST YET Some Fundamental Changes Must First Be Made. SAFETY OF HUMAN LIFE Guarantee Of Property Right and Sanctity Of Contracts Among Requirements. BRIEF NOTE FROM HUGHES CommBaleatton Frtrn BeeretarT Of State To Soviet R-Mrla Made Pub lic la Form Of H tat meat By Mr. Hughea. Washing-ton, March 25. Th Amerl can government notified the soviet au thorltlei In Rusela today that reeump tion of trade between Russia and the United State could not be considered until fundamental changes had been made In the economic system underly ing tha soviet regime. Safety of human life, guarantee o property rights, free labor and ob servance of the sanctity of contracts were among the requirements laid down in a brief note by Secretary Hughes as essential If the doors commerce between the two countries are once more to be opened. The com mun teat ion added that "convincing evl dence of the consummation of auoh chanffa muaCba f ucuUlW MtoaUhie government even cared to dlsouss th subject. These requirements, the note declared. lay at the foundation of Russian pro ductlvlty, by which alone the nation could hope to rebuild her foreign trad and make herself attractive economl cally to the nations with which she de sires to exchange products. The communication was made public at the state department In the form or a statement by Secretary Hughes with the notation that a copy of It had been sent to the American consul at Reval Esthonla, to be handed to Lit vino ft. the soviet representative there. The note was In reply to the appeal recently ad dressed by the soviet regime to Presl dent Harding and Congrens, asking that trade relations between the United States and Russia be restored, and pro posing to send a delegation to the United States to negotiate to that end, No mention was made by Secretary Hughes of the proposal to send a dele gation to this country. Prior to making a final decision, the Russian trade question was discussed for nearly two hours by President Harding and his cabinet, taking Into account a vest collection of data on Russian conditions gathered by th state and commerce departments. In a statement after the note had been made public Secretary Hoover declared the conclusion reached shows the com plete agreement of the views of the whole administration." Unlike previous official pronounc ments of the American government's attitude toward the soviet regime, Sec retary Hughes' note dealt solely with the economic aspect of the problem and made no .attempt to discuss political shortcoming or the unrecognised bol shevlst government. It set forth in a few words the reasons why the United States considers it poor business to trade with Russia under (xlstlng conditions, but made no Indict ment against bolshevlsm as a political system It wan pointed out . however, that there wan ir; hir.tf in the note to reverse or modify tl.e communication to Italy, in w hicn thi W ilson administration set f ort h tlif unwilllngneas of t he United States to enter Into political negotia tions with a government "baaed upon the negation of every principle of honor and good faith" Stc retary Hoover's statement fot lows: "Secretary Hughes' statement on the Uunslan trado situ at ton today show a ih- 'Omp'ete aitreement In the view a of the whole administration.

Thl may mean that he merely hopes som program or legislation win oe adopted or It may mean that he has som specific program in mind whlcb he hope will be adopted.
