ALLIES MUST LAY
CARDS ON TABLE
NEXT MOVE ABROAD INVOLVES
U. S. RIGHTS.
is NOT TO HURRY A DECISION
President Will Await Developments
on Anglo-Jap Alliance Before TAX
inq Action on Versailles Treaty.

Washington, d. C.-The character
nj the next moves by the United
States to carry out the Harding peace
program depends upon the attitude OF
Great Britain and the other allies on
pending questions involving American
rights and interests.
Whether we shall settle war ac-
counts with Germany by ratifying the
Versailles treaty with reservation, I'M
d~ertaking thereby to participate IN the
enforcement Of those treaty terms we
approve or shall settle with Germany
in a separate treaty Independently OF
the allies, has not been determined by
President Harding and 1T may be
some time before he reaches a con-
clusiOn.
The president does not intend to
reach a decision pending develop
ments in certain international nego-
citations now in progress, notably the
following:
/. Anglo-Japanese alliance. Wheth-
err Great Britain continues its alliance
with Japan, and, if so, whether the
character Of the alliance is detrimen-
tai to the interests Of the United
States.
2. Mandates. Whether the allies
recognize American rights derived
from the fifth share OF the United
States in territories coded by the CEN
trail powers, rescind the action allo-
eating the island of zap to Japan, and
accord America the commercial open
door in the former enemy possessions.
3. Cables. Whether the allies are
disposed to divide the former German
cables on a basis restoring American
communication directly with northern
Europe and assuring the United States
increased cable and radio facilities in
the Pacific.
The attitude of the administration
toward the question of ratifying the
Versailles treaty or making a sepa-
rate settlement with Germany while
these other issues are undetermined
was thus stated by a high official:
why should we lay all our cards
on the table when no one else is do
ing 1t now?"

SFEE- STEPPED!

We thought the speed iicnd editor
Of the Ncwbcrly Observer would try
to wrigglc out Of the hole he put him
self in when he claimed to have rid
den from NcWberry to GrcGnvillc il
eighty minutes via the livvcr route.
We iugglcd with the figures enough
last week to prove that he was exceed
ing the speed limit and called on the
law officers to arrest him. but here is
how he tries to get out Of it:
The Advertiser is Just pocved be
cause we threw off Il little on the
Laurens county highway; and thcre-
fore calls on the law officers to do
their duty in stopping rapid and rack-
less driving Of FordS. E'ifty-ona mles
an hour re !;'CGc GrivinH, Not il 4
Ford with the lissh, man hold Of the
Whcel on a Ncwbcrry or Grconvillv
highway.
We are not worrying about the
speed COPS: they arc not going TO
bother us, we are sure. The fcllars
they are after arc those who go a
hundred miles or {: in big CadillacS
and PackardS-so fast you can hear
them buzz. But if they should get af-
ter us for ovcrspceding on that ia
nous GrCcnvillc trip, Mr.. Poole could
not be compelled to testify against
himself, and the only other Witness
would be the editor, who can fall
back on that time-honored refuge, the
Typographical error; which our cs-
tccmcd contemporary, Editor Alison
Lee has no doubt often found a very
present help in time Of trouble.
or course, we knew our friend had
merely made a mistake as to his lig-
uras and that, while he might have
been going pretty fast, he was observ-
ing due prccaution in regard TO other
people on the road.
This prompts us to say in all seri-
BUSINESS that we do not think much
OF the present speed limit on the state
highways. Twenty-Five miles an houl
on our present highways is rather
slow driving in any kind of car that
is running we'll and very few people
limit themselves to that speed. The
speedy driver is not always the recK-
less driver. The dangerous driver is
the man who is afraid to go fast and
loses his head when anything goes
wrong or travels on the wrong side
of the read. Ordinary courtesy on
the roads will prevent more accidents
than all that the speed cops and speed
laws can do.

MINISTERIAL UNION
MAKES PUBLIC STATEMENT
Recognizes Efficient Services by Sal
vation Army but Calls Attention to
Breach Of Understanding.

|
Breach Of Understanding.
Taking notice that the Salvation
Army continues to solicit funds in q
way which, it is alleged, they prom
ised to discontinue in former cam
pafgn. the Ministerial Union of Lau-
rens has issued the following state
mcnt TO the public:
| One OF the most efficient agencies
which mnistercd to both physical and
spiritual nccds Of the American SOL
der during the recent World War, was
the Salvation Army, and none are
more willing to, recognize that SER
vice than the undersigned.
Since the armisticc was signed,
three years ago, this organization has
through its representatives, made two
"Drives" for large amounts in Lau-
,rcns, and last Spring its accredited
representative was accorded a public
hearing, the notice was given in the
pulpits at the morning service and
all other services were called off for
/, lnat SolnellnS WHICH WIS nclu Ill TIC
First Methodist church.
Upon that occasion, our people were
solicited for the support Of their work
located in Grcenville with the distinct
understanding that the Salvation
Army would discontinue its former
practice of solicitation by the Lassie
With the tambourinc. Many of our
people subscribed and we know that
these subscriptions were, in at least
large part, paid.
In recent weeks Laurens has been
visited J." 'r Salvation Army LasslcS
from Grecnville, Greenwood and spar
tanburg soliciting for the support OF
the work in all three of these neigh
boring cities.
Inasmuch as the public meeting
above referred to was held under the
auspices and by the consent OF the
| local Ministerial Union, we think that
il is only the honest and just course
for us to call public attention to the
breach understanding.
