1922 POLITICS
START ALREADY
Democrats Already Start to
Work to Elect Freehold
ers, Is Report
REPUBLICANS ARE ACTIVE
Importance of Next Years
Election Shown by Activity
and Much Talk

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. IL
Although The dust stirred up by the
1921 election fights has hardly set
tied. indications are that politics are
beginning to hum with next years
contest in view. The Democrats of
the county are already hard at work
in search of the best available tim
ber for the offic. cf freeholder and
thus far they are said to have four
men uppermost in their minds. These
men are William Allgair, mayor
elect of South River: +. Leon Lob
lein, of New Brunswick, former free
holder; James Sntth. of Piscataway
a retired grocer of ability who was
defeated at this years primaries
and Andrew Kirkpatrick, of New
Brunswick, former assemblyman.
While there has been no an
nouncement from the two Republic
cans whose terms expire next year,
it is believed that both Clarence
NJ. Haight and DIR. Louis j. Bell
off will be candidates for re-elec-
ton. When the new Board of
Freeholders reorganize on January
1, indications are that there will
be a hot fight for the dictatorship.
Last year. William Dey. the success
full candidate, was opposed by
Freeholder Haight for the director
ship. This year the latter is ex-
pected to make another attempt TO
secure the dictatorship of the board
and it is now rumored that there
is a possibility of there being a
four-cornered race for leadership
with Freeholders Belloff and Van
denbergh being the other contest
ants.
Although nothing can be learned
definitely at present there seems to
he a movement on foot among GER
tain Republicans in Middlesex coun-
ty tc put a. candidate for United
States senator in the field next year
to oppose Senator Joseph S. Freling-
huysen, who seeks reelection.
Whether these men really intend TO
oppose the present senator is a ques-
tion it being believed by some that
this step is being taken in order to
secure the recognition of Middlesex
county next year and possibly bring
some patronage here.

BRITISH IDEA
IS PUzzL|NG
American Naval Officers Fail
to Understand Naval Yard
Scrapping Talk

WA Nov. 17.-(By
The Associated Press)-The British
suggestion that each of the naval
powers retain at least one naval
building yard capable of turning out
Cne ship a year, does not appear to
be understood by American naval Of
ficers, particularly familiar with con-
struction problems. There was no
suggestion IN the American limfta-
tion proposal. that any yard be
scrapped and, so tar as naval yard
facilities in this country are con-
cerned, all will be needed 1t is said
in the maintenance and repair of the
retained fleet.
The United States has several
navy yards. equipped to build capi-
tai ships. 1t has not been contem-
plated here that it would be neces-
;ery under reduction program TO
scrap the equipment of these shops
and building docks. Some of the
machinery would not be needed. of
course. for repair work and would
lie idle, but the bulk of the govern
ment's plants in each case would be
constantly IN use in keeping up the
eighteen battleships to be retained
by the United States, it was said.
These ships, the newest in the
navy. are, in many cases, now ap-
preaching the point where regular
overhaul programs are necessary to
keep them in 6rst class shape and
with the scrapp-ng of the older ships
that have been keeping the yards
busy up to this time. officials feel
that a sound repair program. as to
first class craft, can be adopted for
the first time.

The opinion of the American dele
cation which appeared to have con-
siderable support among the repre-
sontatives of the other powers. was
that the Far East negotiations need
not be complicated by the subcom-
rittee to deal with special subjects
The American delegates take the
position that the Far Eastern ques-
tions are not technical subjects. re-
quiring the prolonged scrutiny of ex-
perts. They would be glad to see
the big nine. OF full conference. go
directly to work without parceling
out branches of the task to any
more subcommittee than are abso-
Iutely necessary.
French Attitude Given
The French attitude in a general
way toward the Far Eastern pro-
posals of China was set forth after
two-hour conference by Premier
BRAND and other members of the
delegation today as follows:
1. France desires earnestly to aid
China in realizing aspirations terri
torial. political and commercial.
q France would give up Kouang.
Tcheou which she leased from Chi
ma in 1898, providing Great Britain
ave up Wei Hei Wei. and Japan.
Shantung, lea sed py the Germans at
the same time and the Port Arthur
peninsula.
8. France would not be unwill-
ing to surrender her extra territorial
privileges were other powers willing
TO do the same. France gave up
these privileges in Japan in 1906 and
was in negotiation with Turkey to
give them up there in 1914 when
the war came. However, the French
feel that extra territorialty should
be maintained until it is clear that
the Chinese republic can give ade-
.quate security and justice to for
eigners.
4. The French colony of Indo'
China did not belong to China but to
AMMAN. Consequently Indo-Chins
the great French colony with 25,'
100000 inhabitants does not come in
the question, according to the French
point of view. If, however, some
question should be raised as to the
rectification of the nine hundred
mile Chinese frontier the French
government would be willing to dis
cuss the boundaries.
g. France approaches the discus
sion of Far Eastern questions il

ransion and raw material Tit
French delegation intends under al
circumstances to take a conciliator.
and pacific role.
6. France is for open dealings o
the powers with China and agains
any secret negotiations.

We are all makers of the future. If we have no voice in what is to be, that Is because we have not lived up to our rights. Every man nd woman is blessed with some outstanding abil- ity or other. Yet some of us have not developed what we have. Because we have not had the same conspicuous talents as neighbor John we have sim ply ceased trying to be anything. No wonder the matter of getting bread for the kiddieS has become trial. Folks do not know what's in us be- cause we have given them no demon ytratiOn of what to expect.
