Dr. Pinley's Proposal Gains Favor lu Capital. Washington, Nor, 24. The proposal of Dr. John H. Flniey, editor of the New York T.nws, thar the allied debts, instead of being, be converted into a trust fund, Ihe interest of which should Is- devoted to the primary cd- :w'a ""',e , af'"s wou." ever pass the electorate of the cor.n try. At the same time many econ omists and financiers see no way. in this generation, at least, by which Europe can possibly pay anything on the principal of the huge sums owed, even If they pay the interest. Dr. Flnley s proposal recalls the Boxer Indemnity Fund, which, instead of being turned back into the Treas ury ;f the United States, has been us ed ever since the Boxer uprising to educate selectee! Chinese students in American schools and universities, with the result of spreading the gospel of western civilization and ideals throughout all China. Just how much this generous use of this fund has been responsible for the awakening of China, (t is not possible to say, bill it Is unquestkmaily very large. Should it be possible to work out a practical plan by which Dr. Kinlcy's proposal could be jait into effect, the tion would' recrlve ah inrpetlis s a such as is has never had. The interest pay ments of the allied debts would doubt less reach the huge sum of five hun dred millions yearly, which, devoted to the children of the world, would have an effect on the next generation impossible to calculate.

Om- of its chief features as a reiter ation, i but the council will oppose ef forts of fh. National Woman's Parly to pa-- the "blanket amendment," which would remove all inciimtUties of women. The National party bos announced it would sml a deteffaljnti lien- to promote its campaign. "With the enfranchisement of wom en." said Mrs. Jerman. ' many of their disqualifications were removed. But there still remains in the statutes of every stale some inequalities that should lie changed at the earlist time possible. The three most imisirtaut in our stale have lioon grouped ill one section by the council First: Ennui guardianship bv Isitb parents of the iersons and prois-rtv of their children. Eligibility of wom en for jury service with exemntion for mothers of young children in addi tion to usual exemptions allowed men. uemovai or tne ilisoualthiatioii of a woman to testify in her owu behalf on1 an indictment for abduction or sedin-'few tion unless her testimony is corrobor ated by another witness. Evervone in North Carolina is coniietent to testi fy, even those on trial for crimes save a woman under these circumstances. It is the nalytt-eninunt of the disiiuali- lioutiou of any witness, and in effect provides that a woman shall not be believed by the jury, even though they do lielieve her, unless some other per son corroborates her testimony. "Changing the three in this group. North Carolina women regard as a mere net of elemental justice. Second : Kevision of the present law as lo the age of consent.

"We know that representatives of the National Women's .Party will lie here to work for the 'blanket amend ment,' but North Carolina women ap preciate the fact that many laws now existing in this state protect women and that these would be jeopardized by such an act, Therefore the council is opposed to it and will continue to work for specific measures to strength en the gooil laws already existing. "Strengthening' of the primary law nnd enlargement of Ihe public welfare department will have the women's whole-hearted Support.
