(BY MAX ARBERNETHY) Raleigh, April 15. Improvement? at the state educational and charitable institutions and roadwork greatly de sired during the next four years bv Governor Morrison are not to be held up long pending the return to nor palcy of the money market. Should the governor's trip with Treasury Lacy to '.New York City, where the greatest financial heads are to be talked to, fails to produce re sults and it develops that a "watchful waiting" policy should be adopted, a way will be found to finance the im provement program already blueprint ed. Whetherit will be necessary to press into service emergency meas ures cannot be determined until the governor and the treasurer return to the capital and. make their report. Governor Morrison has already been assured that state bonds will ' be purchased in an , amount sufficient to float road work and improvements at the University, Greensboro College for Women, State College and the various state charitable institutions. This is going to be d one through the efforts of friends of the governor who are anxious to see the Morrison adminis tration a success, which is aside from their patriotic interest in their moth er state. In the governor's newly pppointed highway commission he has some of the best financial brains of the state and it is by and with their aid that the state s bonds will if necessary be hand led within ths confines of Tarheelia. From the following list the governor may beat the bond buyers of N. Y. City and start road building and im provements during the summer months: John Sprunt Hill of Durham; MOFPRQGRESSRl" IN STATE 1921 LfinLf P' tho AssociafAd Pre"'. London, April 15.

Civilian gov ernment of the Panama canal zone under the department of commerce or the departpent of the interior and effective swfrage for civilian Am erican citizens residing in the canal zone are two of the objects sought by the newly form'ed "civilian league of the canal zone." The zone is now a military reservation. "The league has been keeping in touch with proposed legislation bv congress affecting the canal zone," said P. J. White, president, "and it has discovered that parties not con nected with the zone have attempted to secure the enactment of bills sub mitted by them which would not prove applicable or beneficial to the zone." A statement issued bv the league declares that "'the military branch of our government is using its influ ence to have the canal considered pri marily as a military project' and adds: "The league takes the position that the business interests of the United States demand the fullest commercial development of the canal; that, as far as possible, the same form of g overnment that exists in the United States should apply in the canal zone; that the civilian citizens of the United States residing in the zone should have a voice in the af fairs of the zone; that the zone should be thrown open to Apericans who want to own property and settle in it, the same as in the District of Columbia ; that the army and navy, while permitted to do any and all necessary defensive work for the pro tection of the canal, should be en tirely separate and distinct from the government of the canal zone." Specific demand is made that "congress grant the right of suf frage to civilian Americans residing in the zone, authorizing them to elect a resident commissioner to repre sent them at Washington in the same manner asthe present resident commissioners of the Philippine Is land and Porto Rico.
