CHARGES CRUELTY
IN n. C. PRISONS

Charges that inhuman treatment is
being inflicted on convicts in North
Carolina are made in letter sent to-
day to Gov. Thomas W. Beckett, of
that State, by Earl E. budding, presi-
dent of the Prisoners Relief Society,
Of Washington.
Unless the authorities OF that State
take early steps to remedy the al
legged copditions "our executive COM
mittee has deemed it of sufficient seri-
BUSINESS to bring it to the attention of
the, Federal Government" Mr.. budding
wrote the governor. .
I'VE have been for long time re-
ceiving complaints. of the inhuman
treatment of convicts in your State, "
he. wrote.
I'VE have lately received numerous
letters telling US of the brutality in
the camps under the command of Capt.
{. J. Rhem."
One of the letters referred to by
Mr.. budding, a copy of which was
sent to the governor, is signed by
four men, who swear to it's truthful
ness. The statement has to do with
the alleged torture of a convict who
became too i'll to work and who was
charged by the camp officials with
taking.
Mr.. budding asked that the gov
ernor look into the matter, preferring
local authority to be used before put
ting the case before the Federal
authorities.

BRITISHER EXPLAINS
WAR AGAINST REDS

LONDON. April s.-ceci1 Harms
worth, undersecretary Of state for
foreign affairs, declared in an inter
view today that the allies are hght-
ing in Russia because the BolshevtEt
are openly declaring their determine
ton to destroy the foundations upon
which. peace is being determined in
Paris.
He denied that the allies are actu-
ated by a desire to safeguard British
and French financial interests or that
they are supporting reactionary ele-
ments in Russia.
''The refusal of the allied govern
ments to recognize the Bolsheviki. .
said Harmsworth, 'is due to the fol-
lowing facts:
They have openly proclaimed
themselves an enemy OF the league of
nations, and are determined to upset
the very foundations upon which
peace is being determined in Paris.

CAPITALIST METHODS
NECESSARY, SAYS
LEVRVE

STOCKHOLM, April 9.
The Russian Bolshevik
plans for a world revolu-
tion will be pressed with
greater vigor than ever:
despite the fact that the
Red regime at Moscow has
found it necessary to in
troduce "the technical
methods of capitalism, -
Nicolai Lenine, the Boil
shevik premier, stated In
an article in the Red or
gan Pravda. He said:
"The technical methods
of capitalism are abso-
lutely indispensable until
the Communist society
finds other methods. This
does not mean a renuncia-
tion of a world revolu-
ton; on the contrary, it
will be pressed with great
er vigor than before. The
introduction of foreign
trade is inevitable. The
soviets must enforce strict
factory discipline. !"

TIGER" ALL UNDAUNTED,
CONTINUES HIS FIGHT
FOR FULL PREPARATION

PARIS, April 9.-Premier Ciemen-
ceau, undaunted by charges Of imper-
ialism or insinuations that France is
imbued with a childish idea of veng-
eance continues to fight for what
French regard as adequate repara
tions from Germany.
The premier's arguments are back
ed by the most startling figures.
These indicate Frances national debt
is more than $40, 900, 900 900. Every
man. woman, and child, therefore, is
burdened with a debt of more. than
81 900. Every baby is born owing debt
on which it must pay at least an an
nual interest of $55.
According to the last census, there
were less than $1,000, 600 money pro-
ducing males in France. Thus for
each worker. there is a debt of over
$4,000. With its present debt, Frances
expenditures are placed at IS, SOC, 900, =
600 a year, and as the total annual
private income of all the French to-
gether is only between s., 100000
600 and $1,000, ,OOo, 900, so per cent Of
every mans wages and other income
is necessary to meet the country's
budget.
However. it is not only necessary to
meet EXPENSES puN To- pay O44 NAdl
great national debt. Prof. Henri
Truchy, the famous economist Of
Sorbonne University, considers $40,-
OO0, 900 a year for this purpose would
be good average. At this rate, it
would require hundred years to free
the country from debt. Truchy de-
clares that certain peace delegates
have adopted the position it would be
unfair to Germany and contrary to
the spirit Of the times, to place a
heavy burden of debt on future gen.
erations Of Germans who ought not
to suffer for the mistakes of their
forefathers. He said the French po-
sition is:
as it fair to force future genera
tions of French to pay the debts OF a
war begun by the Germans when the
Germans themselves are eXempted?"
La Liberte said today that Clemen-
ceau, Premier Lloyd George, Premier
Orlando, and Colonel House reached
an agreement on certain principles
while President Wilson was i'll. IT
declared that IL now remains for the
President to approve these decisions,
adding. "the obvious conclusion is
that If he approves, the peace prelim-
inaries will be signed"

It has now been decided by the Boil
