Is Well Represented At London Conference (By Frank Parker Stoekbridge) - The World Mulctary and Economic Congress, now in session in London, represents sixty-six out of the sev enty organized nations of the globe. Fifty-seven of then* are members of the league of Nations, namely: Abyssinia, South Africa, Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bel gium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, Ch ile, Colombia, Cuba. Czechoslova kia, Denmark, Dominion RcpubJm Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatamcla, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, India, Iraq, Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Mexico, Neth erlands, Xtw Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Persia. Peru, Poland , Portugal, Rumania, Salvador, Siam, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United King dom, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugo slavia. The nine nations in the conference not members of the Leaguo are Ecuador, Egypt, Hedjaz, Iceland, 'he United States of America and the Union of Socialist Soviet Re publics ? in our language, Russia. Three Big Objectives The main purposes of this great internatir.iil convention are, ?first to try to find some way by inter national action to raise the prices of eommolitirs :h foreign trade; sec ond, to remove or modify the bar riers whic'i stand in the way of the free flow < f (roods from e.ne nation to another; third, to arrive at some "omnron hr?sis of money so that I here will no forger be great dispirit ies between the values of the currencies of different nations. On thos.< general proposals all of ??he important nations except France, and praet:cally all of the minor na tions are in agreement. If France onn be whipped into line it should be easy to work oat the details. France "bad bey" zX London" Franc, a> is always the case in international conferences, is the "bad boy"' of the London meeting. France always goer, into such conferences with a complete program ? all in France's favor ? and protests loudly I hat she won't play unless she has her own way. She usua'lv winds up by accepting I he .majority verdict and then going home and lamenting ?oudly that she has been robbed. France strirtc1. those tactics at the beginning of this conference, insist ing that the moneys of the world be immediately stabilized at their pres ent ratios. That did not suit the Entrl'sh, who would like to keep the 'lollar much higher to the pound than it is now, nor the Americans, wh^ thi.nk tli.^ pound ought to get back fo its old dollar value or higher. But the F ench iVIegation circulat ed the report that, an ogreenvmt had been reached and do'lar prices be gan to tumble. France wants, in short, to k? ep the franc just where :t is, and if th" pound goes much higher the French wi'l have to go off thf> gold standard, like the rest of the world. f On the other Inn1, the Japanese are opposing xtabiP^ation because they want to keep the ven cheap. U. d . Ably Rapre^rfd Every r.atie.n has sent its ablest men to the London conference. There are seven prime minister* among th" delegates. There is no ground, how ever, to fear that the American del egation will he outsmarted. There are few abler men in America than Secretin' of State Cordell Hull, former Governor James M. Cox, VARNER APPOINTED DEPUTY COLLECTOR fs. E. Vainer, of Whit tier, has been notified that h;> Las Iwvii Sji pointed deputy collector of in ternal revalue fir this ilistr'rt. Mr. Varner will Kiivcced .Mi las Parker of Cowarts, who has served in that capacity for many years, during the Republican Ad ministrations. Mr. Varner is well > known throughout this scctnun of the State. He has been active in pol ities in Swain eountv. If-e has serv<nl 011 the board of education of Swain county, and was elected chairman of the board of county commissioners of Swain, some years ago. He is a merchant and business man. PREACHER RACE IN JAIL RevV Sam Quilliatns, charged with ?he tlef t of a tow from Memphis BuehftXan, ami who <*?capod from Hie Jackson county jail, some weeks ago. is again back as a boarder with fjheriff Manev, awaiting trial al the October term of court. The Rev. Mr. Quilliams was arrested in Knox ville and placed in jail at Seveir ville, where lie refused ty return to North Carolina until Sheriff Manev applied to the Governor of Tennessee The paper were passed between the two states, and Quilliams is back j again in the Jackson .inil. GRAD7 BECK IS CHARGED WITH BALSAM ROBBERIES 1 Grady Beck of Balsam, was arrest ed in Wavnesville. last night, and brought to the Sylva jail, charged with complicity in the recent rob beries at Balsam. ' 1 Senator K.'y Pittman, Senator Con zens, Representative McReynolds, James M. Warburg and their econ omic advisers, who includa such men as Professor (). M. \V. Sprague and ( Rone Leon. They know just what I ?America wants and they are not easily footed by even such high pol itics as KurojM- p'avs. Tn the first major political skirmish of the con vention, the fight for the chairman ship of the monetary Commission, the Airorican won hands down and James M. Cox was elected Chairman. America is in th" h'st position of auv of tin nations in the conference, for we not only hove more gold than anybody else but they all, or pint ] tieally all of them, owe us money. U. S. Wields Power , America, too, is in a better pos ition than any of their to take its doll rags and go home if the party doesn't go to our delegates' liking. Under the new powers granted to President Roosevelt, we ran put th' dollar at any price re'ative to the pound, the franc or thr? yen that we 'ike, regardless of what the other fellow does. We can keep our tariff walls up and reduce our currency to a po:.nt where our goods can cljmb over the highest tariff wall any of them can- erect. We can curtail pro duction in agriculture and industry fo meet our own domestic demands and 110 more, if we care to do that. Those are the weapons .the United States delegates to London have in their hands. Nobody wants to have to use them. Everybody would prefer an amicable international conon ic agree ttient, but if we are forced to econ omic nationalism, we can get along better without the other nations than they can ge along without us.

But, on the othei hand, Uncle Sam can coin that san e silver into 23,790,000 silver dollars, since the silver dollar contains less than an ounce of silver. Thus a\lebi has been paid with less than the sum credited to the payor, and the creditor gets more than twice as much as the amount received! Under the law the Secretary of i the Treasury is required to coin at least 10,000,000 silver dollars from the bullion receive:?! from Encland and be tray coin the rest oi not n> the President directs. Money is a funny tiling, and few . of the people who make a lot of fus about it understand hew it works. NATIONS . . . large and small When Pre-sideiiJ Roosevelt sen i ?a telegram to the heads of 54 differ ent nations asking them to cooper ate in disarmament most folks thought he irust have included ev ery nation ou the globe. But there are fifi nations represented at the World Monetary and Economic Conference, and si ill there are a few which were not invited. The sixty- six include, to be sure. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India which are members of th< British Commonwealth of Nations.! but they do no! include the tiny Re public of Andorra, the oilier minia ture nation of Ran Marino, or the Danzig Free State. Neither is Mon aco-Monte Carlo In the list; it is half the s:ze of New York's Centra' Park and has 25,000 inhabitants. But Iceland has the same stand'ii'j in the London gathering as the United States. It is about the size i of Xew York and has a population j smaller than Savannah. It has been j an independent nation s'.nee 1018. j This is certainly the most com- 1 plctely world wide representative1 convention ever held.

The news that this, the most im poitant lii?hwav of them all, so f r as .lackson comity people are cnu coriird, will lie included in I he pro grain for the immediate future will he met with general rejoicing in this county. The completion of ]()(? to Cullowhee will be accomplished as soon as tar is applied to the maeadun surface, and Western Carolina Teachers Col lege will he put in highway constnic tion with the rest of the State. That is one objective. The next objective is to proim.te the development of' Jackson county's great t nicking reg ion, by connecting it up with the State Highway system. The Sap phire country of .lackson county will [lie connected with the county se.it. There will be formed a grent trunk line highway running from the South into and through the (treat Smoky Mountains National Park, and con necting with highways to the middle [west. This is imperative, if Jackson county is to reap lier party of the benefits from the park. ' Another, and j>erhaps the most im portant objective in completing lOfi, is to connect up .Tackson county into one community. Too much of the business of the county is going to other counties mid to other states, business that should be kept in this county, for the enrichment of nil our people. At last, the goal toward which the people of this county, who have vis ion, have ljee.il driving for a quarter of a century, is in sight. 106 is about to bt completed.
