A joint discussion between Representative Samuel L. Brinson and Charles L. Abernethy, fellow-townsmen and candidates for Congress ?n the 1920 primary, "is imminent and as a fore runner of the promised political de bate in the Third North Carolina Congressional District Representa tive Brinson today challenged asser tions contained in the announcement of Mr. Abernethy as a candidate for Congress. The incumbent in his state ment issued today assures the pub lic that he will forego a newspaper controversy and by implication fore shadows a joint discussion that will eclipse 'in dramatic appeal and pub lic interest any words engraved on the pr'inted pages. The writer can state on reliable authority that a joint canvass of the district will unquestionably be made by the incumbent and Mr. Abernethy who h;.s formally anatii'ed his candidacy. The formal card of ke New Bern lawyer and the statement of Representative Bruison a.' aeie .with reproduced will participate a controversy that will find lodgment in a joint discussion. The stock law of Pender and neighboring counties and the debate that always revolv es around the subject will be dis played with a controversy none the 'ess ardent in 'its contentions. Here is the full statement as issued by Representative Brinson : "I noticed in Sunday's New Bern inn an interview with Hon. C. L. Abernethy in which he difinitely an nounces his candidacy for Congress. "Every few days when political matters quiet down I have noticed that Mr. Abernethy gives an inter view reviewing his grievances and stating that the people are urging him again to run for Congress. "I have been awaiting an author iative announcement of his candidacy and I saw in Sunday's paper definite announcement was made, and as jus tifying it, he gives ill treatment ac corded him by the party and my own improper conduct in accepting the nomination when tendered me last yea.. "This seems to caii for a statement from me and with this statement "the matter end until the "ampaijjn begins next year. I shall engage in no controversy now. "I presume Mr. Abernethy will challenge me to a joint discussion when the campaign opens, as he did Colonel Dortch. and if so. opportu nity will be offorded for a review of these matters abou. which he complains, and aiso, a fr-rk oiscus sion of other matters which his can didacy will .make peitinent and in teresting. 'At this time for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the facts I shall briefly notice one or two of Mr. Abernethy's statements: First: As to impropriety of my ac cepting the nomination. I was un der no obligation whatever to vote for Mr. Abernethy in the primary, and yet I did so because he was a citizen of my home town. "I let this fact control me and voted for him. Subsequent events have shown that many other citizens of New Bern who voted for Colonel Dortch knew Mr. Abernethy better than I did. "I not only voted for him but when I heard that he was not in d?ily conference with Republican leaders after Colonel Dortch's nom ination an was considering the (Continued on Page Six.) ACCUSED OF DOUBLE DEALING Milan Paper Reveals the Inside Facts of Italian Policy at Peace Conference. DEEPLY OFFENDS WILSON MILAN, J.une 22. Apropos of the dramatic downfall of the Orlando Sonnino regime the Milanese demo cratic journal II Secolo, is finally permitted to publish a chapter of fact which throws a flood of light on the Italian policy at the Peace Conference. At the prelimiiiiary meetings of the Cabinet held m Rome, during December last, Sonnino scored a ma- jortiy of the determining votes that Italy was to go to Paris demanding the fulfillment of the famous com pact of London and nothing else. Indeed at a council of war r.eld on December 26th., Sonnino imposed Italy's renunciation of Fiume in spite of stout opposition from General Diaz, the Italian Commander in Chie2. During those discussions Orlando at first favored the minority view, according to which the London com pact should serve as a weapon for vindicating national rights, whip the annexation of the city and port of Fiume on the score of its Italian majority was to be negotiated foi in exchange for Sebencia, where a majority of the inhabitants are Croats. Subsequently, however, Or lando came entirely under Sonnino's sway and this says the Secolo, ex plains his hesitations, equivocations and reticence which terminated by rendering him obnoxious to every body. "The story goes in Paris," says the Secolo, "that Lloyd George once s;:'id Orlando represented the biggest failure in his political life. Lloyd George had always succeeded in mak ing compromises with everybody but in Orlando he had never found a singie consistent point upon which to work." Orlando was welcomed in Paris by the B'ig Three at the outset oi the conference as one on whom thej could count for cordial understand ing and fruitful co-operation for they regarded Sonnino as "'too much compromised by his political his lory." While Orlando acted as sole spok esman at Paris, confining himself to the agreement mapped out in the compact of London, he was at the time, so the Secolo alleges, engaged in stirring up noisy and incessant nationalist demonstrations through out Italy, particularly on the Fiume question, "with the abject of making the conference believe that our dele gation was far more moderate than the country." At the outcome of these nationalist demonstrations Orlando obtained Sonnino's reluctant consent in the middle of March to propose to the conference, through Signor Barzilai. the annexation of Fiume, but always provided that the compact of London were preserved intact. This demand, however, made little impression, be cause everybody at the conference was fully aware that the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs was real ly unfavorable to the project. Without his approval direct negot iations were next opened up with the Jugo-Slav representatives, with the result that on April 11th., an agree ment was reached securing to Italy four-fifths of the Austrian tonnage, while the Jugo-Slavs contented them selves with a single ship. Promising headway was further mad ; relating to the Fiume settlement when a pre emptory order from Orlando rup tured the negotiations of Apr'il 23rd. When the Italian delegates had made their starting exodus from the conference a pooling of the Austrian shipping was decided on by the high er economic council. Nevertheless the Italians on their return resum ed their conversation with the Jugo slavs, and on May 16th., at a recep tion at the Hotel Crillon were for mally assured by the head of th American delegates that the Ameri can delegation not only would strive to obtain the approval of the confer ence for a private and immediate arrangement arrived at between It- MEETING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE High School, Atlantic Chris tian College, Parks, Roads And Aviation Field. CONSIDERED LAST NIGHT A meeting of the Chamber of Com merce was held last evening with President Tomlinson in the chair and Secretary Barlow at his post. Thsre was a fine attendance. A number of interesting matters were dis cussed, among them the report of President Tomlinson with reference to the Wilson Housing Corpora tion. He said that pledges of $100 000 had been subscribed, a tempo rary organization had been made and a charter secured. A permanent organization will be made next Mon day night week, and a man selected as mamger, J. V. Joslyn of Washing ton City, who is with the United States Corporation at present. Mr. Barlow stated that every year it had been the custom to entertain the boys corn and pig clubs of the county, under the direction of the Home and Farm Demonstrators, Mrs. Boyett and Mr. Ferguson. He stated that Mrs. Boyett was calculat ing to have the girls at a meeting on the second and third and this was tc culminate on the 5th of July with the meeting here. He mentioned the usual program, the lunch at the school and moving picture shows. On motion of Col. Bruton it was referred to the entertainment com mittee with Mr. Welsh in charge. Mr. Barlow brought up the mat ter of a landing field for flying ma chines. He stated that aviators were pleased with the Country Club.

With a po lice guard around the vegetable market and a convoy with every truck load of vegetables from the market the first appreciable effect of the huckesters and teamsters strike was seen here today. This ac tion was taken by the police in or der to avoid trouble. The strikers absolutely refused and endeavored to prevent the board of health from removing decaying vegetables from around the market, which endangers the health of the city. WEATHER Showers Tonight. For North Carolina showers prob ably tonight and Thursday with mod erate southeast winds on the Coasi:. aly and Jugo-Slavia relative to the tonnage question. but that if tlvi agreement could be exte ded in an equal manner to the who'e question of territorial sett'.' ment i nthe Ad riatic, President Wilson would be immensely pleased, and would him self undertake to get it sanctioned by the conference. Unfortunately, this happy prospect was again frustrated through the action of Orlando, who insisted that the Italian delegates must obtain a definite settlement that self-same da. With regard to the personal re lations between Orlando and Wilson the Secolo avows that after the for mer's return from Ttaly these be came glacial. "I was evident Wilson had never pardoned his having ex cited all Italy against him,' it says. "The President of the United States did not think he had offended the Italian people in his public declara tion of April 24, and attached per sonal blame to Orlando for having, as Minister of the Interior, with the censorship under his control allowed so many vulgar insults to be printed in Italy against him. "In fact, th matter had become embarrasing in America itself, where Wilsons antagonists found themsel ves driven to uphold him on the Italian question simply on account of the violent and indecent campaign which Orlando had permitted the It alian press to foment against the head of the American State."
