LORD RIDDELL
OFFERS PLANS
FOR PUBLICITY
Should Report the Washington
Conference Fully but Not
Verbatim, Says Eng
lish Journalist.
MUCH SAID INFORMALLY
Suggests Three Channels by
Which All Nations and
Newspapers May Re-
ceive News.
BY CLYDE A. BEALs

tDniied Press Staff Correspondent
LoNDoN by Mall The most liberia
publicity. but not full Of verbatim re
ports, is the recommendation made fol
the forthcoming Washington cOnferenc,
by Lord Riddcll, vicc-president of III,
Newspaper Proprietors' Association oi
Great Britain and one OF the best-knowr
English journalists. in an interview with
the United Press.
Lord Riddcll was the British officia
press agent at the Paris Peace Confer
cnce and since then he has given out tC
both British and American correspon
dents. whose confidence he enjoys. the
news Of virtually every international con.
ference in which England has been en-.
gagged.
The most beneficial way in which the
news of the disarmament conference
could he made public. Lord Riddell be-
llevcs. is through three channels:
First. there should be an official COM
muniquc covering the bare details of
each sitting;
Second. the delegates Of each nation
a, the conference should communicate
a verbal summary of the proceedings 10
an accrediird representative Of the press
of that country. who. in his turn, would
communicate such information TO the
correspondents:
Third. when circumstances permit.
there should be either a verbatim re-
port Of the proceedings or a full official
resume.
Il am strongly in favor Of publicity.
Lord Riddell told the United Press.
But ] have been business man, and
know how business agreements are ar
rived at. | know that they are not ar.
rived al by long speeches. but by briei
questions and answers made in a frcC
and friendly atmosphere.
The negotiations may find they dc
moi agree. and perhaps one will say
NV people are ANXIOUS to get this thing
settled And the other will say. so arr
mine. ! wonder il We cant find som'
way out. WELL the first will say, sup
pose We Try this way The other ma
suggest something else. That is til
method Of finding common ground.
IF each one knows, on the other hand
that every move and every chance wor'
is being reported. he will be shackle,
and prevented from doing his best.
is by informal talks that you arrive q
agreement.
One must guard against these meet
ings developing into debating societies
Ii must be remembered that after a
the delegates are human and that il
fernational questions are settled yer
much like business questions. The
will 60 out for historical spell-binder'
You don't settle difficult questions b
spell-binding speeches.
Full reports are further hindranC
in that they make each delegate stan
on his dignity and not appear 10 |
yielding. A verbatim report does NJ
always represent the atmosphere at u
discussions.
Il think it will be found that OWN

ering. If each delegation gives rcpo

CENSUS RECORDS BURNED
Reports Dating Back to 1890 De
stroyed by Fire

Washington, Jan. 11.--(By A. P.)-
Government officials still were at sea
today In attempting to estimate the
loss resulting from fire in the De-
partmcnt of Commerce building las,
night which destroyed many Of the or
iginal records of every census taken
since the first In 1900, except that OF
1920. In oddition to the damage by
fire the records today were submerged
in water thrown into the basement oi
the building by more than twenty lines
of fire hose which tina ly brought the
contiagraton under control.
There are no duplicates Of the de
stroycd records and the loss was dc
clared probably the worst of it's kind In
the governments history.

Growth OF Life Insurance

Asa s. Wing, president of the Provi.
dent Life and Trust Co., brings out
many interesting facts concerning life
insurance in the fifty sixth annual re-
port OF that company, which was pre-
Sentcd at the annual meeting OF the
shareholders yesterday.
The growing popularity of life in
surance is strikingly illustrated In the
fifty year record Of the company. In
1870. new insurance written amounted
20 SO, 2,594 $40. while in 1920 II reached
a total of $1O1 .65S, ,452. Whereas. in
SO the insurance in force at the end
Vt the year stood at 80 ,3SS. 400, in 1920
II was $3.50 .OO3 953. Eight hundred
and forty-six deaths, involving claims
amounting to S3 .G55 ,S15. was reported
during last year, as compared with
>54 deaths for 1919, involving 81, 3,426, =
168. For 1919 the amount Of insurance
terminated by death was 56.5 per cent
# the amount expected by the American
table; for 1920 it was only $50 per
cent. For fifty.six years, the CORE
Iponding percentage has been GA per
cent.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Regardless of the technical side OF
the situation there seems to be genu :
inc effort in both financial and busi :
ness circles to promote a better feel
ing as to the outlook. Many Of the
unpleasant things predicted by the
alarmists that were to happen with
the turn of the year have not mate
what everybody would like to see them
be. but, on the other hand, as each
day passes without big accidents, there
are surely good reasons for believing,
perhaps, they are not after all half so
| bad as they have been painted. The
new year, Il is true, Is still young and
al the moment almost all hands are busy
| checking up to see just really where
they stand.
An official Of one Of the larger local
| banks yesterday in talking over the sit :.
uation said he felt confident the real
crisis had been passed safely.
Many we're bumped hard he said /,
some seriously financially injured, but
the mortality list was much smaiicr
than had Anticipated. Many have
asked me whether all the recent talK
of better thangs ahead was genuine or
lust another case of camoutlage. My
answer 70 this Is much the same as
the old story of the old darky passing
the graveyard He was not just afraid,
but always whistled hard to drum up
courage. In other words, we are all
whistiing. The way size It up is
perhaps it would do some heap OF
good II they would whistle louder
New Field for Bear Operations
A new field of activity has been
found BY the bears in discussing the
petroIeum situation, and much Is said
BY them about the outlook for reduced
prices of crude oil and refined product
and curtailmcnt of consumption. The
consumption of gasoline in the last year
amounted to 100, 900. 900 barrels. and
those who are we'll informed about con
suming lines are confident that there
will be- no falling of in the consumption
In the coming year.
Leading petroleum interests insist,
also, that reduction in the prices from
the present levels cannot be regarded
with special Importance in view OF the
fact that crude oil is now selling at 30
many times more than it's quotations at
the beginning Of the World War.

Western Money Conditions Unchanged

.hVNCy SOhNitioh6
The advent of the new year found the
western money market showing no
change of material significance. Dis
count rates were firmly sustained at
IN per cent on collateral loans. s per
cent on commercial paper and to IN
per cent over the counter. There has
been an appreciable increase in deposits
among the savings banks, due largely to
the curtailment in the employment of
'abor in the industrial lines of trade,
the average wage Garner considering it

II comparative quietude.
Agricultural sections show no slack
cning in the demand for funds. and it
| is apparent that not until the time ar :
rives when holders of grain. as we'll az
cotton and wool, deem 1t advisable to
market their products will there be any
material improvement in the money sit =

CHURCH Announcement

I take pleasure in announcing
through the Democrat to the peo.
pie of Boone that on the third
Sunday in May and until further
notice, on the third Sunday in
each succeeding month, expect
to preach in the Episcopal church
at Boone at eleven o'clock and at
night. This privilege has recent
ly been made possible by two
facts: First, have secured an
assistant at Banner Elk which
now makes it possible for me to
be away for one Sunday in each
month. Second, Bishop Horner
has kindly agreed for me to use
the Episcopal Church at Boone.
The only thing that l regret
about this appointment is that it
necessarily conflicts with the
services of one of the sister
churches. But I am sure that
the PEOPLE will understand that
this cannot be avoided in view of
the fact that every Sunday is
now occupied by one Of the de.
nominations.
In taking up this work l wish
to say that | have no intention or
desire to in any way retard the
splendid work that the other de-
nominations are doing in Boone
For a good many years I have
watched with pleasure the solid
growth of Boone and the schoo
and have often wished that
might have some part in building
up the Kingdom of Christin sucl
a strategic point. And now tina
this privilege seems to be open
ing up for me, / want to cordially
