GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1921 3 French and Japanese Groups Not In Accord With Our Naval Ratid CONGRESS MUST TAKE NOTICE OF DISCONTENT . OVER HIGH RAIL RATES (Continued From Page One.) (Continued from Page One) limitation treaty an agreement for reassembling the conference of the powers, probably seven years hence, has begun to take more definite form j ,ver the Christmas recess. An informal exchange of views among the Ameri can, British and French delegates has developed a feeling that by that time It may be possible to work out an ex tension of the naval holiday in the light of a seven-year test of the agree ments which made tt possible. In any event, It has been said, there ,will be details to work out of the program that Is to replace the 10-year fleet status with actual application of the "5-'S-" capital ship ratio. - ' Canfereaee oa submarine. It also appeared more probable to night that some definite step toward a world conference on submarines, probably to be held within three years after the Washington conference ends its labors, would be taken within the next day or two. Exactly what form it will take is In doubt pending final action here on submarines and It is certain that the American delegation plans to exhaust every effort to bring about an agreement as to submarine tonnage which will result In actual reduction of tonnage and elimination of future submarine building programs before passing from that subject to other auxiliary craft proportions. The initial suggestion for a world submarine conference came from the British delegation in line with its fruitless effort to get the Washington conference to agree to abolishment of under water craft , entirely; The American delegation expressed much sympathy with the British view, but was not ready to consider such a step except In conjunction with all nations of the world. It is pointed out that in tiie event of the calling of a special world subma rine conference, such mattors as use of poison gas, aircraft bombing and any other new agencies of war could be talked over with a view to setting up an International code o eovern their employment. Thef Washington conference is regarded as too limited In scope to deal with such questions. It further appears possible that the difficult question of land armaments could be put forward to the supple mental world assembly on armaments as three years may show changed con ditions In Europe which will then ad mit of an agreement to curb army esti mates as well as navies. Fronts. Suggested It. The project to cull another session of the five-power naval conference Raven vears after the 10-year holiday begins first was suggested. It Is un derstood, by the French delegation. At first the date suggested was 1&31 when the decade stop in building ends. Since matters to be discussed then, however, would have to do very large ly with replacement building, Lord Lee, of the British group and Seoretary Hughes, for the American view are said to have expressed the opinion that the question should be taken up three years before the holiday expires and as it now stands the meeting would be sometime in 1928-29. It should be recalled that while the "5-5-3" capital ship ratio has been accepted provisionally at least by all five powers, it does not become ef- 666 will break a Cold, Fever and Grippe quicker than anything- we know, preventing pneumonia fectlve until the ten years holiday ends. During the holiday Great Britain will maintain a 10 per cent larger cap ital ship fore tban that of the United States. She has agreed to scale down at the end of that period to an equal ity with the American fleet, however, and this process cannot be worked out now In details. By again going, over the ground three years before the hol iday ends, however, the method of British reduction can be provided for. even If it does not then seem advisable to provide for further naval reductions all around as many delegates hope will be the case. The three year Inter val will permit the building of new ships to displace old In the re-arrajng-ment of tonnage under the "6-6-3" program. . , It la also regarded as altogether probable that In seven years the pres ent controversy as to relative merits of capital ships and aircraft In war will have cleared Itself. Should the predictions of some experts that air craft eventually will make capital ships useless have been made good during that period, the seven year session of the naval limitation conference could write that development Into a new na val agreement contemplating abandon ment of capital ships altogether It is pointed out. In the same way It could apply to the new theory of not com petitive naval building; any other scien tific developments In the way of .new agencies of warfare which the years may have brought to light.

It Is the old story of killing the goose that lays the golden egg and unless some meas ure of relief is found there is nothing ahead but disaster, not only for the railroads but for the commercial ex istence of our country." Legislation now pending before Con gress provides for the issuance of mile age books, Interchangeable, non-transferable, good on all Interstate roads, at two cents per mile. It is urged by Senator Robinson and those who are supporting him in the fight for relief that the passage of this Legislation would be of great immedi ate benefit to both the railroads and the country and would do more to re lieve the unemployment situation and bring about activity in the agricul tural, Industrial, and commercial world than any legislation that has been sug gested or could be suggested to Con gress at the present time, and It has the unequivocal indorsement of the great traveling public who represent the life blood of the nation. , "Due to this prohibitive cost of travel, a depression exists In practical ly all lines of business, not only the railroads, the Pullman cars, and the hotels, but also the theaters, moving picture houses, restaurants, depart ment stores, drug stores, news stands, public conveyances, and even news boys and bootblacks are feeling the decrease in business," said Senator Robinson, "and, quite naturally. It follows that our government will also feel It In reduced income from Its va rlous sources of taxation, that would not have resulted under normal trans portatton conditions.

Mrs. Blanche Carr Sterne, county welfare officer, said last night that the gifts sent to her for distribution among the poor of the community far exceeded anything that she had known of here before. She was deeply appreciative, she said, of all that bad been done, and she wished the persons who gave so generously could understand some thing of what had been accomplished. From Adjutant Henderson and his workers In the Salvation army also gratitude to the persons who helped them has been given In full measure. Both groups of workers, trying alike to help the needy, have had an abun dance of assistance. "A great deal more has been sent us this year than ever before," said Mrs.' Sterne, "and the gifts Included much food, clothing and actual money. A great many blankets were given us and coal and wood. We were able to distribute more than 160 baskets, and between 12 and! 16 tons of coal. 1 think many more people have been helped this year than ever before. More of It came from people of the city, but there were also contributions from the county, and from cities else where In the state. For all of this we are Immensely grateful. I am sure Christmas has been made much happier by the generosity of these persons." MURDERER LYNCHED BY A CROWD AT KEY WEST Maaael Head Taken From Jail Alter Marines ftnlt Gnard and Body Strang I'p and Riddled. Key West, Fla., Dec. It.

Marines from the Key WeBt navy yard guarded the county jail last night after Head's capture until the mob which formed after Decker's murder broke up. They gave way shortly after 2 a. m. to deputies who patrolled out side the Jail. Word that the marines had been relieved was passed about and the crowd gathered again. Ap proaching the Jail, one of the leaders called for Sheriff Curry and when he opened the door a dozen men forced their way in, overpowered him and the Jailer, obtained the keys to Head's cell and made for their victim.

British Trust to Sober Second Thought to Make Dail Ratify Treaty. 1 TOO MUCH INDIVIDUALISM 1 1 twill CiU tt BalK ho By MONEY It. THATCHER (Coprrtibt. 1921, or rtu-Mphu Fuslla Utkw.) London, Deo. 26 As the days of the holiday recess of the dail elreann draw out there is Increasing hope among British officials and the public that Its members will give ample time for sober Judgment on the peace treaty which will result In a clearer atmos phere in the Irish legislature' when it reconvenes January Z. It Is not a phan tom hope but is based somewhat on a few meager messages that -have come to London from Ireland during the holidays and somewhat on logic. Reports from Ireland available here today Indicate that he people are try ing to make their voice heard In favor of ratification and hope here Is eased on the likelihood of members of the dail who have not committed them selves being Influenced favorably by the wishes of their neighbors, among whom they are spending their holidays. This hope also is based upon the fact that In none of the counties In Ire land except probably in county Cork are the people against ratification, al though their lelected representatives In the dail may have stated they will vote against ratification, not because of what the people want but because of the oath they took when they swore to uphold the republlo at a time when imterness naa reached its heat. Observers here- who ettent tn fathom the extremely complicated sit- uanon mac nas arisen In the dail an. confident that the "anti-rats" will not gain any influence during the reccis and In view of the announced toolings of the people some of the wavering uhcs may do won over, -But whatever may hannen. there can be no contradiction of the stutement mat the dail has not enhanced Its al ready unsavory reputation with the Irish people by the manner In which the treaty discussion has been handled. The people first became Irritated over the long drawn out negotiations on whether the Irish would go nito con ference with the English. They be came aggravated when it became ap parent tnut tmro would be a fight in, the dail over the ratification and now reports from Ireland 1 record protests against the delay In ratification which resulted in hundreds of political pris oners spending their Christmas In Jail. In steering things along this course the dull has worked Itself into, what observers here believe to be an ex tremely difficult situation. Should the vole be for ratification the Irish gov ernment will find Itself amidst a scene of political chaos which might result in almost any situation; If It does not ratify the pact It will face war without the solid front it has presented to the British ever alnce the republic was set up. I stated -reeks ago that If the peace conference broke down the world might expect to see all sides rushing into print to explain their position. The conference did not break down but the members of the dail are doing everything they can to get their position first before the peo ple of Ireland through the press and secondly to the people of the world. Those who have contended for years that the Irish, could not govern them selves are pointing to the nest the dail has built for Itself, as a sub stantiation of their contentions. The list of speakers yet to be heard num bers 40. For eight days the dail members tnlked to the Irish people about their personal position but now In a less direct manner the people of Ireland are talking to the dull and well wish ers for peace In England are hoping the popular voice will drown out per sonalltles. .

Conferences between Secretary Weeks and repre sentatives of C. C. Tinkler, head of a San Francisco construction company, In connection with the Muscle Shoals, Ala., nitrate and power project!, which the latter had announced would , be held today, failed to materialize. Secretary Weeks said he had not been advised of the arrival of Tinkler's rep resentatives and In fact had had no further communications from the San Francisco contractor. . Tinkler several weeks ago ' tele graphed the war secretary ho desired to make an offer for the Muscle Shoals properties, for the sale and lease of which the government is now nego tiating with Henry Ford. Mr. Weeks replied, asking Tinkler to send de tails of proposal and later the San Francisco construction company head announced through the press that he would send representatives hero to confer today with Mr. Weeks. -. The impression in war department quarters, although without positive Information, Is the Tinkler's offer had to do with completion of construction work at Muscle Shoals tn event plana for sale to private Interests were abandoned. War department officials were of the opinion today that further negotiat ions with the Detroit manufacturer would be held in abeyance until the engineers which conferred with Mr. Weeks last week are authorized to speak with finality for Mr. ford or until the manufacturer can come to Washington, for another conference. There are understood to be a number of details Mr. Weeks would like to have cleared up before he transmits a report to Congress on the Ford of fer.

HENRY HOTEL BUILDING 3 Wood Between Two Fires As Governor of the Philippines Radicals Try to Create Turmoil But He Manages to Govern With out Assuming Functions of a Czar General Wood Means to Weed Out the Malcontents. By HOV C. BBNNRTT. (CmmiM, lJl. ! rhlWelptls ruMIe Uapr.t Manila, P. I., Nov. 6. While Gov ernor General Wood Is constantly be tween two fires, and must have been aware he was assuming such a position when he took the governor general ship of the Philippine Islands, his first half month has failed to bring developments resulting in his sus taining serious burns from either side. Ho far he has showed he Intends to be governor of the Islands, but at the same time does not Intend to attempt to be czar. The longer he directs the affairs of the government without feeling the 111 effect of the flames to the right or to the left, the less dan gerous do these flames grow: in fart, they tend to die out. While there are thousands In the Philippines who would not be ovorly excited or agitated In any event, as there Is the great middle class In any country, there are the two radical elements, and It Is these radical ele ments that are referred to as con stituting the tires endangering the career of the new governor (or rath er would endanger It If he would per mit.) Trfese radical elements are the leaders In the agitation for Philip pine Independence on the one hand, and the rabid retention ists on the oth er. , In the former class are Filipino politicians principally. They are the ones who would speak of any move which might be Interpreted as delay ing independence as a step backward. They are the ones who were worked into an ecstasy as a result of the Fll Ipinlzatlon policy of Governor General Francis Burton Harrison. The other element is composed of those Americans who, feeling the 111 effects of past mistakes, think the only way to undo the muddle is to face about and replace Filipinos In the government servloe by Americans on a wholesale scale. They are the ones who would have an American cabinet In the place of tho Filipino body which now, as the council of state, advises with the governor general, and which formerly directed the affairs of the government, legislative and executive. This group of Americans wanted Gen eral Wood to wield a head ax as he walked Into the governor's mansion. , The former radical group comes nearer getting what It wants than does the latter so far, but really Its members see no chance for the real ization of Its true coal Just now. Governor Wood has said he considers things here in a bad way and he is going to do his utmost to right the wrong and to bring order out of chaos although he does not speak of It officially as "chaos," He refuses to oust Filipino officials by regiments, but indicates that he will eliminate the Inefficient and unnecessary ones in all cases. He asked the members of the cabinet to retain office when they tendered their, resignation In a body, but forthwith he began check ing up to see who had proved him self a worthy servant and who un worthy! He is for weeding out the blockers of the way when he finds so many employes here and there that they are stepping on each other's feet. He realizes that there are too many of fices and too mnny officeholders, and favors consolidations In the name ,of efficiency and economy. The gov ernment Is short on money constantly and public works lag-, school attend ance grows faster than accommod ations: , teaching forces are not as good as they should be. and thousands of children die annually because pub lic health Is not properly augervlsed all because the reaoureses are short, It is a fact, more apparent than pleas ant, that the shortage Is due in part to the fact, that what is spent could and .should be made to go much fur ther.. To ma"le It go' further is " the efficiency engineer's job now before the new governor. The Filipinos, as n Hues, have con fidence In jcni-ral Wood as well as admiration for hlrn. If he ran keep Kolng as he iy now until Gils confi dence is so universal and d.-rp-root-ed as to be practically unlinkaljle, he will be pretty well Intrenched, Hut 4 break between him and the political leaders might come at almost any time, although tt Is conceded his standing wou.ld enable him to win, slnco the people, by and lame, are his supporters and the leaders with whom he might dlffer would be forced to admit his practical policy bears all the earmarks of being characterized, of with eonstderatlon of the welfare the peoples of these islands. Americans as a class have confi dence In the ability of Wood and ex pect real accomplishments from him. They understand the motives which prompt him In saying he considers a settlement of the Philippines ques tion must be made on a basis of an agreement between Americana and Filipinos. ' All understand him and almost all agree with him. The former Emperor Karl of Austria is exiled to the Madeira Islands, 440 miles west of Morocco, in the Atlantic ooean.
