' NOVEMBER 29, ; 19ZI "THE STORV Of THE BRIAND SCHANZER TILT i H is difficult to understand the niental processed of parsons who startad the story that Mr, Briand and Ssflator Schanzer had had a verbal tilt In tin courts ef th armament tdnfsrencs, Hsorotary Hu(tios now declares that ths story was an abso luts fabrication, that tha attitude of tht French and Italian delratloni throughout hat bsen perfectly correct and tourteeui, Tet publication of tht story In Italy has reulted in th wrecking; of a French consulate, and the Italian government is now under ths embarrassing necessity of apologising- to th French government for the action of th mob. The 11 feel ing, however, cannot be 'wiped out by an apology j and to just that ex- tont the publication of , the lies has injured international relations be tween the two countries. ' Was it a mere sensation-monger who did it, or was it the w.ork of some sinister force that hopes to aee the object of the disarmament conference lost? After allit must be remem bered that International peace is not universally desired. The vast major ity of all the world looks toward its attainment with profound longing; but thuro la In every country a minor ity that battens upon warfare. It Is said that in this country between the years 1914 and 1919 there were er ated no loss than 23,000 new million aires. The profiteer arid the muni tions maker would lose money by the abolition of war.' Some of them are intelligent enough to work in va rious Bhrewd ways to keep interna tional relations disturbed. The dark and shameful record of the house of Krupp in imperial Germany has never been revealed In full; but enough of it has come to light to show how poisonous such an influence may be come. . , ' Krupp as an international scandal has well-nigh disappeared ; but it has plenty of successors and imitators. The Franco-Italian incident may well have been contrived by one of them. It is sickening to think that men exist so depraved that they would deliber ately conspire to bring upon the world so fearful a curs as another war, simply that they might have an op portunity to line their own pockets. But the Iovs of money is the root of all evileven this. Avarice, fully de veloped, will stick at nothing, and the man utterly possessed by the passion of money-gotting would think little of opening the sluices of hell, and delug ing the world with fire and blood, in order to satisfy his inhuman craving. On the other hand, if it was merely some reckless newspaper man, Intent on falnlng torn advantage over his more honest competitors, who framed up the story, his guilt is no less ap palling. He has committed a treason so gigantio that It fairly staggers the Imagination. He Is a traitor, not merely to his own country, but to all civilization. He has sold mankind He has given aid and comfort to the enomies of tha Prince of Peace. He has won title to the frightful fame of Iscarlot, for h, too, has betrayed God. Under the burden of war expenditure and war dsbts, Ami all remediable cjuajit, per haps, that Rurala has gone, It Is un likely that the feeble spark of the life of civilization there can be fanned into flames. Decadence, tha triumph of tht tlamental wild forces ot bar barism, the wisdom of civilization proved to be folly, darkness, death, for alt that vast portion Of the earth's surface. Before presenting Mr. Wells' sug gestions of remedy, be it recorded that thl Vice-president of tho Cot man economic council prophesies that next spring will see Germany'l final industrial oOllapse. The German gov ernment il apparently making, every effort to shorten sail all of which may conceivably be for effect. , The leading powers of the world might kink their political ambitions for tlma, and work out a "bank ruptcy arrangement that would re lease the impoverished nations from debt," giving them again a valid and stable money, "that could be accepted with confidence and saved without deterioration." The only possible hope lies in a "prompt and vigorous world conference to put an end to war expenditures," including even those France declares so necessary; to "extinguish debts" and reinstate stable and trustworthy money in the world. Inasmuch s few things seem less likely than that the leading nations of the world will take the steps sug gested, inasmuch as there appear no hopes for a "prompt and vigorous" world conference to forgive all debtor nations, the prophetic outline Of his tory is bleak. The doctor himself sees little indication that his prescrip tion will be taken.- Mr. Harding's association of na- tions may come into being too late to save the nations if indeed it has any such ambitious program. culls over the telephone for can of green pea she usually says simply "a can of green peas."

The foreman class, tht technically educated class, the professional teachers, and th like, classes hard construct, easy to destroy will eak up and scatter. When they are dispersed, civilisation Is gone for a long period, perhaps for good This disintegration spreads ranidlv, Mr. Weill sees it in Germany, and if It gets Uermany, Italy may follow, He "thinks he would give Germany lix months, about, -and north Italy two years, before a revolutionary col lapse.

But to him it is plain that "the shadow that lies dark over Petrograd stretches as ar .as Lon don." - . The immediate cause of decline and fall joing on under our eyes "swifter and more extensive than tht decline and fail of the Roman empire," Is the destruction of the monetary system TODAY'S CONFERENCE MAY CLEAR THE ORANGE ATMOSPHERE. When Orange citizens begin to em ploy such expressions as "a dirty dial to be delivered to the taxpayers' by "committee of aristocrats,"-and to speak of the revivifying of tho spirit of Herman Husbands, "so long dor mant along the Eno," the sounds' are distressingly indicative to pacifist bystanders that affairs have pro gressed beyond the powers of con ference to compose. Nevertheless, conference there will be, and In conference there Is always hope. Today's hearing before the state highway commission will at least test out tht situation. There art allega tion! of bad faith, and a complete airing of - the whole business will either establish or destroy these alle gations. - The whole state, Orange may be sure, Is giving respectful attention. Whether the Central highway is to follow the old road through tha coun ty west of Hillsboro, or a new route laid out by commission engineers, is a dispute that in itself would get no great amount of' attention outside Orange. But the state is hopeful that the dispute may be composed, because of tht menace to Central highway building progress that might result from state of warfare between the people of Hillsboro and the state highway commission.

When you tako a $1,500. motor truck, driven by a chauffeur who is paid anything from $5 a day up, and use the outfit, consuming a dime's worth Of gasoline and a quarter's worth of wear and tear on tires and machinery, to deliver 15 cents' worth of prunes, there is an economic waste Involved a waste that some body has to make good. If the cham ber, of commerce will carry its in vestigation into the high Cost of living to the bitter end, it will find that that method of doing business accounts for no small share of it W do not mean to assert that there has not been, and may not be now, some conscienceless profiteer ing in the elty of Greensboro. " If there is, it Ought to bt found and ex posed. Chasing out the profiteers will do the city good, and do the hon est merchants good. But anybody who behoves that high costs are due solely to profiteering Is mistaken. The cost of high living Is always tre mendous; tnd there Is plenty of evi dence to show that Greensboro is llv ing high.

Mr. Editor, the above aectlon from th constitution and th law and the court decision bear peculiarly a fresh Intereat to all Juat at thla tlma whan th reoeht prohibition amendment to th constitution 1 trying to be an forced in our nation by thousands ot prohibition officers. Th rccf.nt law interpret the constitution It mean that officers can search tot Stiuor and other illegal thlnga without a eaarch warrant anywhere except th horn or private dwelling. To search auch dwelling a aearoh warrant tnuat be ae, cured. To obtain a eearoh warrant the agent must maka an affidavit aa to the particular place and paraon and things thai h aeeka to get, and a Judicial of fleer muat grant tha wafraift. The constitution is a prohibition only against "unreasonable search and sals Ure," and probable cauae muat b shown. Probable cause has be.en de fined by the court ' as a 'reasonable ground of suspicion," etc To convict an officer under section I of this new law where ha searches property other than a private dwelling It must be proven that he, "without a earch warrant, maliciously and with out reasonable causa" searched said property. So In cases where the law ha bean Violated the officer haa the aama pow ers as heretofore except ha must get search -warrant to search a private dwelling, aeema to ba tha heart ot the new law, but no officer ever oould aearch or seize when ha acted unrea sonably or without probable cause.

These so-called liberals- Include far greater and more prominent men than Mr. almonds: doea ha wish to Imply that he - alone- haa the monopoly of Intellectual lntrrlty? Is Avails, who preaches Internationalism, devoted to a , (elfish and sordid nationalists ' policy? Mr, Slmonda' must know that these man have attacked . British: policy as freely, and as vehemently as any other. They hav supported the Irish cause, although they are British. Front th tlma of th Peace Conference' on they hava been In opposition to' moat of the policial of Oreat Britain I to English Imperialism, to the policy, toward reparatlona and toward Rueala, to th very Interaata of high finance! na wuum insinuate mat xney are try ing to further. It I Irritating to read. auch slur whan one la obliged to r-i call for hlmtelf th facta which do not! juatlfy them. The author appear to I wisn to take advantage of those who cannot recall them, not knowing them. and to advance his own prestige ln a most ilfeelttmau manner. To thoae who know France and aara for her, nothing is more palnful'than the policy ef her preaent government. During the.peaoe conference and af ter, I diacussad with many Frenchmen, trying to defend th deaperate causes ot Wilson, and of Juatlo and liberality. For thaae last, there was no concern apparently In France nothing but the, moat deaolate and "withering cynicism. 1 stated then, reflecting others' views, that th moral advantage would pas . from France, which was her one great est resource. Today, Mr. Balfour re- fers darkly - io , a "moral isolation" which would bo a "tragedy" for Franco. H mean that it la a tragedy already accomplished. Th French governments since the. armistice have been worse than thel. popla deserved. Bryct ha staled re cently that Franca la the country in which th money power haa obtained the moat complete control. The rich have refused to be taxed, as the rich In England .have been. They have con trolled French policy. It wa France, principally that supported th series of atrocious and useless oivil wars ln Russia, in which the suffarlng waa not .. lessened by tha fact that ey war in ured to bearing of IL France haa sup ported reactionary movementa through out Europe. It iirmed Poland for an other war ot aggression against Rus sia. It supported the white terror ln Huhgary. It 'discovered and alienated all the best elements ln Germany and tailed m its policy. French holder of Russian and other bonds have not received their interest, but How many! lives they have caused to be lost, and, how" much utter and abject mlary. -Even people Ilk Phillip Glbba, who are not liberal, r revolting against the, cynlalam and blindness of th "old men" who have been ruling In all ' countries. In Franca, their rule haa been worae than elaawhere. The French policy w are asked to support haa already failed. France haa no friends. Tha - very Kusslan refugees who filled the near east, and, whom I aaw myseir, thoe whom France1 success would have restored, were deep ln their hatred. The En- -gllah, Italians, liberal . everywhere, ' hav bean estranged. The Germans, who might have been reconciled, can not be won with injustice. What leadership France had In ths leagu Of nations has almost disappeared. The Internal situation In France la worae than ever. The blindness of imperial istic policy has failed again, aa It ever will fall. We cart " appreciate the peculiar, situation of France, aa Briand and Slmonaa nave expiainea u, aympainise, and yet differ aa to what Is to be don. Germany and Russia are neighbors. In evitably, By extension of principle, ; thai logical thing would bo to destroy ; them Mow, almost to the last man. , Thl eannot b doner snd what- Is pro poBed? Nothing new the old policy, ot armies, force, alliances, diplomacy. , No experience seems to leach. The , Idealism of Wilson. Justice, generosity, the great Worda, the fourteen points, war eneered at, at Paris, .and have been aneerad at sine. And It would i 0 difficult to maintain ones counten ance in pronouncing them, except for on fact! that all else ha failed. For France, iaolated, outnumbered, bur- , d'enad with debt and on tha brink of ' bankruptcy to adopt thia Old policy which has tailed with nations better situated. IS folly wa ahould not n courage. Th situation of Franc may be hopeless -ono cannot tellbut Franca haa more to fear from Inluatlca. the policy It has pursued In Russia and elaewkera, than from anything else. This policy, based on force, ha pro duced what force alway does produco, nothing but hatred and danger. ' s HOWARD R. HUBS, Chapel Hill, Nov. !, '81.
