Why Not Let America Have Rich Congo Basin For War Debts? (Asheville ClUzen.) Stephen Leacock, head ot the de partment of political economy ot McGill University, out who Is best known to most of us as humorist, proposes, in the New Yet I Herald Tribune, a solution of the war debts problem. His suggestion f>; that the European nations which owe the United States money gel together and give us the rich Gon to basin in settlement. Professor Leacoek notes that Can ada is now proposing to "buy from Newfoundland the "ungainly and infertile territory of Labrador lor $100,000,000. He turns to history and discovers that, in 1800 the Un ited States ••bought'' Louisiana lor $19,000,000 from Napoleon; that at the close of the Napoleonic war Eng STAINLESS Same formula . . same price, la original form, too, if you prefer WICKS w VapoRub Mil HON MRS USED YEARLY Hare Your Eyes Examined Regularly DRS.

Maritius— ami |considered the Increase of the na tional debt, to four pillion dollars well offset by this "splendid addi tion to national wealth"; that tin United States In 18t57 purchased Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000. that still later, in 1917, the United States paid Denmark $125,000,000 for the Virgin Islands But somehow,” says Professor Ieacock, "at the treaty of Versailles and In the settlement afterward, the allied victors misted the point of past experiences. They imposed col ossal sums of money as leparations and repayments, none of it collect ible without injury both ways, and let territory go. In place of owner ship was substituted a wishy-washy, hypocritical thing called a "man date,” a sort of white mar’s burden. This, with its limitations, seemed of no value. The United Slates refus ed its slice and England gave some back.” So the professor’s Idea is that the thing to do is to get away from try ing to settle these troublesome debts witli money and get back to the plan of paying them off with out and-out cessions of territory. And lie thinks that the Congo Basin would suit this country right down to the ground Away, he argues, with the Cod benlte theory that “sovereignty" over territory Is worthless; that only trade matters, and that trade can be had Just as well without sover eignty. Why, in that event, should Canada by ‘ buying" Labrador? Whv should the United states have • bought." Alaska and the Virgin Is lands? Why. he might have added should we insist on continuing to fly the Stars and Stripe? over the Philippine Islands? No. “Ownership’ of territory is dear to the national istic heart, it, excites the pride. There are even instances where It has filled pocketbooks. But why does Professor Leacock seleet the Congo Basin lor the Un ited States? Because, he argues, the United States can use this great equatorial basin, the equal In the exuberant fertility of Its soil with any region In the W'orld. as no other nation can. There are forests In the Congo Basin that cover 25,000 miles and so dense that £he sun never penetrate# them. Here are tropical products, especially rubber, untold value, rich mineral products, cop per and tin and gold, end the land awaits development to become a storehouse of inexhaustible wealth,, such, for example, as Java and Su matra have proved for Holland. Professor Leacock waxes eloquent over what America, with its brains arid money, might make of an en terprise so imperial In its possibil ities. But his crowning argument is that the United States is the only nation that can do this because it alone has the labor that Is neces sary for success. Where" he asks; and answers, “Why, the colored people of America. They came from the Congo. The Congo climate that kills the whites Is *ba^k home’ to them. The Congo native won’t work. You have to bent him to it. But the American colored man baa had six generations of it, and he knows how." The very thought makes the professor rhansodic. He savs: "Think! what a wonderful dream come true, 1f that happened. Six generations a«o the Congo natives were driven on board the slave ships from the •yellow beaches of West Africa—six generations of toil and tears and history,- and now they would come back, millions of work ers. equipped with the white man’s purpose, to show to their lost cous ins of Africa what can be made of the old homestead. One can imag ine no more inspiring dream than this—the return of the children of the slaves to found, under the guardianship of America, a United States of Africa Come, let us start it! "All that is needed is a new con gress on adjustment of debts and: reparations on a basis p£ territorial sovereignty. The Belgians could be squared by letting them off their debts to England and the United States;, even their own home debt, of $1,000,006,000 might be thrown in. if the sancity of their home terri- i tory was such that it set the world j to war, the lack of sane ft y of their i colonial territory is such that Uj might be used to set the world at j peace. Franc# could move out of j the French Congo without knowing j it, and very few British people are | aware that they own any of the j Congo basin. Perhaps, even, an odd i corner of the map could be found I for Mussolini, and an Island— the’re | are said to be 4,000 islands in the j Congo for the Germans. "The native? He won't, care. He's used to everything—getting rubber, being a slave, being photographed for moving pictures, hunting lions for social study—he ju$t thinks the European nations are crazy If he protests,, let him ha-.?* as his share, in return for his land, the Eigh teenth amendment to the Consti tution of the United States—and lell him to keep It." The Herald Trtbnn- headlines I’r ft feasor Leacock as cn economist, some people will think that he Is anting os a hunioriit. He omits to sn- which role he occupies in ad vancing this proposal. It Is evident however, that he has only scratched the surface OX the arguments that ran he made In favor of It. The dinners of our collecting the war debts in money are none too bright. Hut if we could acquire "ownership' Of Hi'’ Congo Basin the visions of what we might gain from its devel opment startle the Imagination. We would have an Immediate new outlet under our own flag for the billions we have been pouring into other lands, with the blessing of the state department and the other depart ments. In the effort to develop them. We would control our own rubber supplies for all time to come no matter how many millions of auto mobiles the Industry of the United States might be able to market. And If the thing worked out as Profes sor Leacock thinks would wo would solve the labor problem In this country forever. 93-Year-Old Clerk Fights To Keep Job St. Paul.

Smith-Roosevelt Break May Make History; Their Friends Not Chummy Friend* of One Do Not I.lke Friend* Of Other. Epic Relation. — Washington. Jan. 22.—It seems to be established that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New Yoik did not suy that Alfred E. Smith, his predecessor, had been a “rotten governor.” But the governor's em phatic denial has done nothing to clear the rift between the two men—which may yet go down as one of the historic, important feuds in politics. The fact that the story Was in circulation is indicative of the bit terness between Smith’s friends and Roosevelt's. The political import ance of the split between the two former political allies is that where as Smith by declaring for Roose velt could hand him the Democra tic nomination. he remains, by his silence and apparent disapproval, the principal block; in Roosevelt's path to a nomination which is like ly to mean the presidency. Forever after next November you may be reading that Roosevelt lost the world's greatest elective office because he high-hatted his former political romrade, Smith. Why The Split? A dozen reasons have been ad vanced to explain the Smith Rooeevelt frigidity and most cl them may have been contributory. But one finally gathers that the all-important underlying cause wm Roosevelt's desire to be both gov ernor and president, without guid ance from Smith and Smith's de sire to retain a lurge Influence In both state and national politics The extent to which either or both demonstrate arrogance, ingratitude or selfishness is something for their partisans to fight out among them selves. In such an argument you find Smith’s friends asserting that he "made” Roosevelt politically made him governor of New York and put him in position to become a leading presidential contender Roosevelt's friends, however, say the obligation is the other way around inasmuch as Roosevelt pc’. Smith in nomination in 1924 and 1928 and only accepted the guber natorial nomination in 1928 to help Smith in response to AVs fervid per sonal plea. Their .strength. Anyway. Smith apparently has felt himself to be the real Demo cratic leader both In the state and the nation. Such a titular honor La usually conceded a party’s last pres idential candidate. Smith had made a game fight, attracted a huge per sonal following and directed the efforts of his man Raskob. who has been ‘ angel and manager of the unprecedented job of organizing and propagandizing which has put the party in a strong position to take advantage of the present un popularity of tlie administration. No wonder if Smith felt he should have something to do with policies at Albany—and at Washington a'j well in the event of a Democratic administration, Roosevelt, however, got himse.f re-elected by a majority of 750,000 votes a bigger majority than Smith or anyone else ever won and pre sumably that made him more inde pendent than ever The break be tween the two men became mere and more obvious from 'hat time on. Roosevelt differed mov obviou s!” from Smith with remx t to policies appointincnls aim* iaertds and tre latter's friends 'occ.arav- ‘.ttcreasingly 1 enthusiastic over Ritchie, Baker or any other = ur.dh r - they could think of. " - Personality Smith's perron;-.; mends were never Roosevelt's personal- friends, anyway They complain that the present governor aristocratic, high-hat. «m descending or some thing like that. They tell tv-y May or Cermak of Chicar , who had ri clayed for the Roost vett Candidacy, went to nieet him for :ho ffri.t time at Albany. The governor T said to have greeted him with ' Hello, Tony!” Everybody refers Cermak as “Tony ', but it's a sen-d tive point with, the mayor exoep. among his close associates He wen; to New York after that, saw At Smith and came out with a state ment. which qualified his pro Roosevelt utterances materially. The governor and the ex-gover 'nor may yet reach an understand-! tng. But thus far they seem only • | to have drifted farther and farthe. j apart. A1 Smith Says Dry t aw Here For Long Tiime New York.—The prohibition j amendment, Alfred E. Smith—one of Us most severe critic.'—believer is in the constitution to stay. He told a. meeting of the Hotel Association of New York that in hi • opinion repeal of the amendment! was impossible. "I believe, however, that anothoi amendment can be added which will provide that any state may, with! the approval of the people, tak< control of such matters itself,” he! paid. "When the eighteenth amend-! ment was adopted the people! thought that all you had to do wa-' to forbid something and that no; one would do it. We have been at it twelve years, and the preeidanfe own commission says prohibition is unenforceable because It lacks pub lic support. "There has been no organized plan to defeat the prohibition law i We have an Opposition without a! l»iott-Mve are Just ‘against’ some-1 thing." The former governor and 19281 Democratic presidential candidate said prohibition Is a political ques tion. "They even elect countv clerks on it," lie said. He suggested, however, that it should be taker, from politics and left to the Amer ican people themse'lves to decide. A decision on this question, one wav or another, lie said, would "greatly benefit business In this country." “Liquor is flowing freely through out the country," he added. “If you don't know it any other way, then you'll discover It by reading the report of the Wickersham com mittee.’’ „ Bulletin 1179 of the North Caro lina experiment, station, “Approved Practices for Irish Potato Growers” has been printed recently and ,is available to citizens of North Caro lina on request to the editor at State college.

Jan. 22.—The bureau of the census announces a summary of the financial statistics of the state of North Carolina tor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930. The per capita figures for 1930 are based on an estimated population of 3.155,000. These statistics were com piled by Mr. Carl K. Mahler. Expenditures. The payments for operation and maintenance of the general depart ments of North Carolina amounted to $28,585,812 or $9.06 per capita. This includes $6,450,840, apportion ments for education to the minor civil divisions of the state. In 1929 the per capita for operation and maintenance of general departments was $7.29 and in 1917, $1.96. The in creased per capita reported for 1930 was principally due to increased payments to minor civil divisions for educational purposes and for highw ay maintenance. The payments for operation and maintenance of public service enterprises in 1930 amounted to $21,302, interest on detb, $8,065,639; and outlays lor permanent improvements, $13,756. 272. Tile total payments, therefore, for operation and maintenance of general departments and public service enterprises, for interest and outlays were $50,429,025. The totals include all payments for the year, whether made from current reven ues of from the proceeds of bond issues, Of the governmental costs report ed above, $19,764,209 was for high ways, $8,771,825 being for mainten ance and $10,992,384 for construction nevrnutH. The total revenue receipts were $46,573,844. or $14.76 per capita. This was $9,901,091 more than the total payments of the year, exclusive of the payments for permanent im provements but $3,855,181 less than the total payments inclnding those for permanent improvements. Spe cial property and other special taxes represented 20.6 per cent of the to tal revenue for 1930, 23.3 per cent for 1929 and 50.2 per cent for 1917. The increase in the amount of spe cial property and other special taxes collected was 223.2 per cent from 1917 to 1930 but there was a de crease of 6 per cent from 1929 to 1930 The per capita of special prop erty and other special taxes collect ed was $3 04 in 1930, S3 12 In 1929, and $1.20 in 1917. Earnings of general departments, or compensation for services render ed by state officials, 'tpicsented 9.8 per cent of teh total revenue for 1930, 11.3 per cent for 1929, and 20.4 per cent ior 1917. Business and non-business li censes constituted 56 6 per cent of the total revenue for 1930, 53.6 per cent for 1929, and 19 4 per cent for 1917.
