FINAL EDITION ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1922 FOUR PAGES NO. 52 Reciprocity With Canada Is Again A Live Issue Arrangement Sponsored By Taft Back In 1911 Has Never Been Repealed And Canada Pre fers To Meet Its Requirements Rather Than Take Chances Under Fordney Tariff Washington, March 1. Canada today made her firat move to forestall unfavorable action by the American Congress in tariff relations between the two countries. W. S. Fielding, Canadian I Minister of Finance, and one of; the men who negotiated the ill-; fated reciprocity agreement of; 1911, has taken up with the De partment of State here through the good offices of the British embassy the question of arriv Ing at an understanding on re ciprocal trade. Mr. Fielding himself does not dis cuss his visit, preferring to make his; inquiries informally and without pub- ltclty. But the situation which brings S Mr. Fielding here is of the greatest importance to ' the relations of the two countries and is comparable In deed to the events of 1911 when President Taft, following the precept of another Republican President, Wil liam McKinley, offered Canada the hand of friendship through a recipro city trade agreement. The American Congress ratified that agreement, pas sing a law providing for reciprocity, hut through a series of misunderstan dings inside Canada, the Canadian -parliament failed to do its part. Inasmuch as It was Canada which blocked reciprocity in 1911, the feel ing of the liberal party which has Just come into power at Ottawa un der MacKenzle King is that Canada should make the first move in show ing her willingness to go through with the 1911 agreement. Curiously enough, the act of 1911 was never repealed and remained on the statute books of the American Congress. The House of Represen tatives once psod a bill proposing a repeal but it never passed the Sen ate. So if Canada should now do what she failed to do in 1911, the reciprocity agreement would prompt ly go into effect between Canada and the United States. But under the terms of the origi nal understanding, each country was to pass concurrent legislation and it Is hardly likely that the Canadian parliament would take action it it appeared that the American Congress might repeal the reciprocity act, as indeed is now proposed in the Ford ney tariff bill. That bill would auto - matically repeal all previous tariff arrangements, but would empower the President to negotiate new reel- procity agreements with any nation. Canada's viewpoint is that it would ! be far better to make an exception of gwung to the right he headed di the act of 1911 and leave it on the ! rectly for a telegraph pole, statute books so that the parliament a warning from the director caus at Ottawa might put it Into effect j ed him to pull his machine to the left than to negotiate a new agreement just in time to avert an accident.

"The wheat growers o' Minnesota and North Dakota," said Mr. Capper, "will want protection. They have Tieen asking for it as against Canada and the interests of these states will naturally be our first consideration." The reciprocity question, however. is not entirely local. It relates close- ly to the whole question of trade re latlons between the United States and Canada. Discrimination against Can ada would not be swallowed without protest by the Canadian people.

ACCIDENT AVERTED WHEN CAR SKIDS ON STREET Film Mayers Making Scene In Driv ing Rain Rarely Escape Hitting Telegraph Pole Holmes E. Herbert, who has the role of Wellman In the Alice Joyce production "The Inner Chamber," which will be shown at the Alkrama Theater today, narrowly avoided an accident by driving his car into a tele graph pole. It was during the filming of one of the scenes, which were taken at night during a driving rain storm. In this Incident the hero rescues the hfe.ne from the home of her employer and on the way home becomes stalled on the road. The pair are forced to re main during the night on the high way because a rear wheel Is .burled to the hub in mud. Two city blocks were required for the scene showing the car driving rapidly down the road against a drlv- , ig rain. The rain beat against the jcar with such force and the night j wag 80 w&ck that Mr. Herbert could not keep in the roadway.

Dr. Saliba Writes On Subject Of Fire Iiocal Surgeon falls Attention To Unselfish Xutuiv Of Fire Company's Work The following article on the causes of fires and the work of the local Fire Company, is contributed by Dr. John Saliba, of this city. It is of more than usual interest, because it calls to attention the unselfish nature of the work of Elizabeth City's vol unteer fire fighting organization. The article is as follows: With the exception of the microbes of infectious disease, there is no danger that increases with the in crease of urban civilization like the danger from fire. The loss of property from fire in this country alone every year amounts to millions of dollars, and the annual loss of human lives th- 'ghout the world from the same cause in -'ry great. No doubt, formidable conflagra tions are largely due to the fact that wood is used in a general way for building the greater part of ordinary dwelling houses. In Russia where timber ' built houses are still very common, It is said that the entire erections throughout the country are practi cally destroyed in every seven years. In this country and Canada, the cheapness and convenience of forest timber also lead to many towns and villages being built by wood, with the result that conflagrations not uncommonly make a complete clear ance. Each advance in the chief domes tic comforts and in the principal in dustrial uses of power has augment ed the risk of fire. Cheap matches, oil lamps, flannelette clothing, cel luloid combs and other articles, the use of gas in lighting and cooking, and the employment of electrical power for illumination, have all com bined to make even the modern brick dwelling places of the people almost as dangerous as the timber-built homes. . In mills, factories, and workshops, sparks from machinery," short circuit ing of electric currents, over-heating of furnaces, boilers and steam pipes, and many other accidents connected with the use of high energies, bring about serious fires. Our fire company is composed of private citizens, who give their ser vices freely in the noble work of diminishing the general danger to life and property through fires. Even their out-of-pocket expenses are not reimbursed to them. Now Yawn!
