For the present it does not appear to be
the purpose Of the French authorities to
assume an imperative position, but rath-
er set forth what they regard as the man
ifest equities Of the French position with
the view to induce it's further considera-
ton and acceptance After comforting
with those in chief, authority, an Off
cial said that the French position is based
on two essential principles:
The First Principle Laid Down..
The first is that pacific settlement be-
tween two sovereign nations is entitled
at least to equal treatment with war
settlement. If not, a precedent would be
established, the officials say, which would
be an incentive to war, as countries first
adopting force in the collection Of claims
would have superior rights to those OBJ
serving the usual pacific means of settle
ment. i. ...... st.. ~ >
The view is strongly held here that the
United States, France and Belgium are
in effect pacific allies, as they did not re-
sort to force. against Venezuela. It is
insisted that the present attitude Of the
allies tends not only to prejudice the
rights Of the pacific allies, but also estab-
fishes the dangerous principle that a re-
sort to war is preferable to efforts to
maintain peace. -.
The Second Principle. ...
The second principle of the French po-
sition is that the France Venezuelan set
Element is in the form of treaty which
entities 1t to international recognition.
This was formally executed prior to the
adoption of force by the allies and while
Venezuela retained full independence in
the exercise of her sovereign right to
make a treaty. Therefore it is main
tanned that this antedates rights arising
from a resort to force.
It is not insisted, however, that this
prior treaty settlement entities France
TO priority in the division of the customs
receipts, as the officials hold that all
the powers having claims should receive
equal treatment. It was at first sup
posed that Great Britain, Germany and
| Italy favored this view and that the op-
position came from the personal attitude
Of their representatives. Full recognition
is given of the sevident fairness of Min.

there may be between their interests
In Venezuela. 1t is said that there is
strong resemblance between the

enough to link them together In re-

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION M1sREpREsENrED

The North Carolina Press Association has
been rather roundly criticised in some quarters,
first, for alleged m~eddling with the Bassett mat
ter, and, second, for the alleged refusal of the
members to meet President Roosevelt. As q
matter of fact, there were only three men in the
Convention who wished the body to act officially
on the Bassett controversy; that the leaders of
these three persistently refused to comply with
the Associations wish that he keep quiet, is no
fault of the membership at large. That the edi-
tors as a class had no desire to be meddlesome is
shown by the fact that only by one majority was
the motion carried to consider the matter of
the Daniels efigy burning. As for the New
York Suns sensational story that the editors
would have refused to take Roosevelt's hand,
had a White House visit been arranged, it is
only necessary to say that we were with the
members all the time, and not one word or init
nation of such a plan did we hear. There were,
it is true, few Roosevelt supporters in the party,
but the North Carolina editors are not so mar
row minded as to treat the President of the Ma
ton discourteously, whatever his politics.

A FREE ARMER LIBRARY.

We earnestly commend to all our farmer read
ers the suggestion made by our Washington cor
respondent on page 2 of this issue. The average
farmer cannot make a better use of the long
winter evenings than by studying these Farmers
Bulletins, representing, as they do, the best work
of our agricultural authorities in all parts of the
country. Take your pencil, read over the list
as found on page 2, check those you wish to ex-
anime, and then ask your Congressman to have
them sent to you. They are free; you pay your
part of the tax money used in printing them,
and you ought to make use of them. No farmer
should throw aside this number of The Progress
sive Farmer until this suggestion has been put
into practice.

culture may be authorized to carry into effect any
laws that may be passed. Ny own opinion is that
the work may be done by creating a board of COM
missioners, composed of the Commissioner of Ag-
r~iculture, the Experiment Stations, the State En-
tomologist and two prominent and practical cot

The boil weevil, however, is not a problem for
one State. It is a National menace, and our Ma

suitable provision for fighting it. We hope that
our North Carolina Congressman will press the
resolution for a $5OO,OOO appropriation for this
purpose.
