WHAT ALLIES DEMAND:

In view Of the general interest
IN the German PREPARATIONS ques-
ton and ultimatum, we give be.
low summary Of the demands
made upon Germany by the al
lies:
Payment by June 1 the 1,OOO,-
100000 gold marks due on Nav
|; trial Of German officers and
soldiers accused Of crimes during
the war; complete disarmament
OF the military, naval and aerial
arms Of Germany's service, and
ultimate payment Of $33,75O,O
OOO IN reparations. The repara-
ton obligation would be paid in
lnstallments Of approximately
$485, 100000 per year, in add
ton to 25 per cent of the value
Of Germany's exports.
While Germany has accented
these terms unconditionally. max
ing her carry them out is anoth-
er thing, and as each payment is
due; no doubt the same threats
will have to be made over and
over again, for it is the nature Of
that nation to whine, squ1rm
and try IN every way to avoid it's
just obligations.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1921-05-13

the League of Nations, while he
was campaigning for the Presi-
dency and since his Inaugural
ton, but we believe the whole
country will approve his decis-
ion to send representatives to
take part IN the various confer
.ences which will be necessary to
final settlement Of all world
questions arising from the war.
The Presidents decision was
no doubt based upon sound bust
ness reasons. The officials Of
, the government recognize the
fact that until a satisfactory ad-
justment Of the Preparations ques-
ton is arrived at the allies will
not be able to pay their debts to
this country, the payment Of
which is dependent upon the col
,lections from Germany. An eff
fort was made to transfer the al
lies debts and have her assume
the obligation to the United
States, but the Officials Of this
government would be no party
to that transaction. America
has been placed in delicate
situation. If she had taken Il
position which in any way indi-
Gated that she was encoura ging
Germany in any effort to evade
her obligations, it would have
caused strained relations with
her allies and made it difficult
for this government to collect it's
own obligations.
The administration believes
that the policy Of making Ger
many pay her debts is good bus
mess, and America s representa-
ton on the allied councils pre-
vents any excuse that America is
in any way preventing the allies
from paying their debts.
1t looks to us as if the admin
istration in this instance is for
getting politics and looking at
the matter from a purely econ
omic basis, so that Americans
can make money and thereby be
able to restore the country once
again to normal conditions.

FEDERAL AID: FOR ROAD
BUILDING

1t appears to be the sentiment
OF the public that Federal ap-
preparations for road building
should be continued. This meas
ure will come up before the
present Congress. There is a de-
termined fight being made for
Federal aid only to National
Highways, and not to general
road construction and bridge
building
We are vitality interested here
IN this subject, as the construc-
ton Of the bridge over Roanoke
River seems almost entirely de-
pendent upon Federal aid at some
time. Even if the counties should
go ahead and build it themselves
1t will be with the under
standing that the government is
TO reimburse them when Federal
aid money is available.
1t would be wise for every
man who is interested in this sub
Ject to write his congressman and
Senator, and enlist their support
Tor the measure. 1t is of vital
Importance to us. Do not put
OFF expressing ourself on the sub
ject.

COTTON DISEASES-AND THEIR
CONTROL

Regardless of the present low
price, cotton is, and will continue to
be great money crop in the Caro-
linas.
Price Improvement will probably
come through general betterment of
conditions at home and abroad, acre
age reduction, and cooperative sell
ing agencies.
Present conditions such as low
price, the oll-weevil, an dthe possible
spread Of the pink boil worm, make
it absolutely necessary that the cot
ton grower, and his name is legion,
give more thought to disease control.
The principal cotton diseases are
wilt. root-knot, anthracness, bacterial
blight, shedding Of bolls, rust, sore
shin, and Texas rootknot.
These diseases are fully described,
and remedies suggested in Farmers

awaking to the TACT that it has only two weeks more OF life, con
gress is displaying a belated activity in figuring out ways to do

they are catching up. The only difference-and, unfortunately,
it's rather a wide one-is that individuals generally have to pay
