China's Fate With j
I World Powers A.
I Kerensky Says
Washington, March. 29.?The fate
of China, whether it becomes Bolsh
?yistiesor stays within the family of
Nations, depends upon the world pow- :
ers, particularly Great Britain, the
United States and Japan, in the opin->|
ion -of*Ahxaxid&ffir^1iYi head ofi
Kerensky came to Washington to
day a. short visit with "private
friends," whose identity he declined
to divulge. He is staying at a large
hotel. - He said he did not intend to
see either President Cooiidge :-t Sec
retary of State Kellogg, and denied
there was any political objective in
his trip.
China, in Kererisky's opinion, is at
he the cross-roads and it depends up
in the-great powers 'fahich route she
travels hereafter. If the powers are
sympathetic and assist China in her
struggles and find herself, he express
ed the belief China will stay/, put,"
but if the powers are harsh and un
sympathetic he believes inevitably
China will lean more and more to
Russian communistic influences. . .1
As for Russia herself, Kerensky
said he did not believe outside power
would ever destroy Bolshevism.
"Reform in Russia," he said, "must
come from within."

That is the pronouncement of R. A.

A "sleeper" is the automobile law,
passed by the last legislate, making
it compulsory for all automobile own
ers to display the cardboard duplicate
licenses number issued with the metal
tags in a patented container to be
fastened on the dashboard. A charge
of 50 cents was prescribed for the
patented device specified.
I OKr. Daughton had nothing-to say

not.

- Raleigh, March 30?The State of f
North Carolina now holds about $20,- ,
000 in worthless checks and this is ,
about the j average amount, it was
stated yesterday by Commissioner of i
Revenue R. A. Doughton. I
Commissioner Doughton stated that (
the most trouble is experienced with (
pedlars, other licenses and purchasers
? n:o! ^ license tags. ^
that it is by no means infrequent |
to have bad checks running into the
hundreds and even into the thousands ?
of dollars. *
The 1927 General Assembly placed J
a penalty of 10 per cent upon all
worthless checks given to the Depart
ment of 'Revenue under any circum- 1
stances or for any purpose and the j
provision was made more stringent
I by denying to the comnvissioner the
i usual power pf remitting ?penalties in *
respect to this penalty. 1
"It was declared yesterday . that 1
much less trouble: than heretofore 1
has been experienced on account of
bad checks since this law went into
effect, the givers of such checkers '
showing a great deal more speed
when "given a chance" than was |
formerly the case.
Commissioner Doughton stated that (
! it has been necessary to employ two
I clerks,'one in the automobile bureau
and one in the Department of Reve- '
nue proper, who do practically noth
ing except look after worthless
checks.
But while a partial remedy has
been found for bad checks, the de- '
partment is looking forward to some
consternation to th? licensing of
automobiles for the six month period
beginning July 1, when it is antici
pated that many checks will have to.
be returned because of failure to in
clude the extra 25 cents exacted be
cause of a change to the calendar ;
