ENGLAND is SATISFIED
Press Expresses Satisfaction Over
Acceptance of Principles - Dutch

London, Nov. Is. - General salts
faction is expire ssed in the newspapers
this morning at reports from Wash
ington that the British and japanese
delegations to the armament confer
ence are prepared to accept in prin-
ciple the American proposals for a ten
year naval holiday and the scrapping
of all but limited number of war
ships.
In its second thoughts on the pro-
posals set forth by Secretary of State
Hughes the press shows no lessening
of the appreciation expressed yester-
day but devotes more attention to the
probable effect OF the plan on Great
Britain's naval position.
L. S. Sacrifices Most
1t is freely recognized that the
United States offers to take ascrifices
both in money and aspirations which
are greater than she asks of the other
two nations. At the same time it is
remarked that Great Britain as a far
scattered empire is in quite a different
position from the Self-Contained Unit
ed States and that circumstances are
conceivable in which Great Britain
might be called upon to defend the
British Isles and at the same time
protect outlying parts of the empire
as well as guard trade and food
routes. This, it is urged, must be
considered when the details of the
plan come up for discussion in the
conference.
England Is Cautious.
There are also some indications of
reluctance among the naval experts
to agree to the proposal that Great
Britain scrap the four post war bot
tleships of the Hood type, contracts
for which were recently placed. These
Warships, it is contended, are superior
to any so far projected by the United
States and cancellation of the con-
tracts would inm ediately place Great
Britain in an inferior position to the
United States as regards battleship
strength as the American ships would
be newer and m ore powerful. The
point is also made that any arrange
ment made in Washington should
permit the dominions to build cruis-
erS in addition to those Great Britain
possesses.

Kingstree School Notes.

The regular meeting of the parent
teachers association was held in the
school auditorium, Monday afternoon
It was one of the best meetings that
the associa ion has ever had. A good
number of patrons were present, and
all seemed vitality interested in the al
fairs of the scshool. Miss Lizzie
Heape, a former teacher in the school
gave reading that was enjoyed by
all, and Mrs. D. P. Frierson read a
very interesting article on coopera-
tion between teacher and parent. All
enjoyed the songs by some of the
high school children. At the conclu-
sion of the program refreshments
were served by the eighth grade. The
eighth grade had charge of the pro-
gram this time and carried it out
very successfully.
The closing lyceum number of the
! season was held in the school audi
torium Monday evening, of last week.
It was a musical number enjoyed By
al.

appropriation. 1t is asked indeed for less than
what has been appropriated on like occasions. The
resolution of Senator Knox calls for but $4,000 for
| general expenses. ~ -.. ~
This certainly is large amount for this
country to use in nductng to Office its President
an occasion which is but quadrennial In addition,
a sum sufficient for police protection is asked and
this undoubtedly will be granted.
Whatever Congress may do, there will be tens
OF thousands of guests in this city March 4, and
for days before and after. These crowds must be
protected in their persons and properties in the
National Capital This is nationwide obligation.
Whatever Congress may do, the City of Wash
ington will do all that it possibly can to entertain
and protect these who will come from all the
States. But it must be remembered that Washing
ton has not formally asked these guests who of
the family and need no invitation, to to their
| own Capital City to their President take
office. They national, not city guests.
Many States will send large delegations. Sew
era will be represented hY governors. their staff
and militia. There will be other uniformed bodies,
we'll contingents of the national troops
1t will be brilliant, but dignhed OCCASION in
| no famboyant, but in harmony with what
should mark the Inauguration of great countrys
President. This could only be avoided or changed
by Congress actually forbdding it.
1t is true, Mr.. Borah says, that the President
take him to the Capitol and back to the White
House. 1t need not cost that. 1t need cost moth
ing The oath does not have to be taken at the
Capitol.
1t need, as Senator Norris wishes, cost but
$4,000 Of the tax money of the country. 1t need
| not cost dollar from the Treasury. So after all
it is but what Congress, in its good judgment,
| chooses to do.
Certainly it should avoid all appearances or
general complaint of extravaganza. 1t should not
make unusual appropriation. 1t should protect
itself from any such just charge
But, the other hand it should avoid con-
trary criticism. The American people have no
little pride in conforming to the proprieties on
great occasions, and this they regard as the one
great national function.
They would not regard cutting this minor ap-
preparation to a still smaller sum economy.
They would be apt to regard it belittling national
pride and dignity. They would far rather Congress
would save in another of a multitude of directions,
as is proposed

Saved From Themselves.

There is a rather strange mental situation
among those members of the Senate who oppose
this country entering the league of nations This
was expressed by Senator Curtis after his return
from Marion.
Mr.. Harding that while the feeling in the Senate
"is strong against the Wilson league covenant
yet he believed "the Senate would be glad if some
plan could be adopted outside and independent of
the Versailles covenant whereby the danger of
would be reduced to the lowest point"
This has much the sound of the prayer OF the
who asked to be saved from himself If the
forty-six governments in the league, will
kindly consent to ditch it and start again, it
will, of course, greatly simplify matters.
If the five great powers would desert the
United States in entente, understanding, to
preserve world peace, that might form a sufficient
guardianship of the small nations.
If other but the United States had to be
considered, the solution of howto avoid the "Wil-
league" and still have league, might be quite
simple If all the other forty-six> would but say to
the Senate, eve will agree to anything you do y
that would help.
But after all the initiative in foreign affairs
still rests with the President. Mr. Harding will
have to take that responsibility and it is just pos
sibc that the people of the United States
may have something to say in the end as to what
shall be done.
1t is not always safe for politicians to misread
public opinion misudge the moral sense of a
people

Uranus is in an aspect that promises

will be a season of activity in which
large projects will multiply.
New ideas concerning the organi-

conspicuous in military affairs.
Better mental attitude on public
questions seems TO be presaged by
the stars. Forces tending to incline
the mind toward long-tried policies

powerful all through the year.
The conjunction OF Mars and Sat

The Worst Is Yet to Come.

Congress has overridden President Wilson's
veto of the bill to revive the War Finance Corpora
ton The vote in the Senate was remarkable, with
but two Democrats and IN ke Republicans support
ing the President
1t is probable however, that the really harder
task is ahead in putting the act in operation. The
funds, the disposal of the corporation have
been returned to the Treasury. They have been
used
If the Treasury is ordered to return these
funds, it will have to go out into the market and
borrow them. Even should this be done the ad-
minstering of the fund will present other still more
vexing problems.
If it is to effect what has been anticipated by
this Congressional action, the corporation would
would, then, or before buying, have to find market
that could offer acceptable credit or exchangeable
value
There is no limit to the demand for Americas
food surplus, but this demand is unfortunately
based upon inability to pay, and an inability
to offer dependable credit.
The government has been, and is being crti-
cised for supposed sales of materials Poland and
Russia on government credit. The sales are not
so seriously condemned as the form of credit ac-
cepted for the materials.
Yet the who censure these transac-
tons voted to revive the Finance Corporation arI-
thorizing it, by inference at least, to use a huge
fund in these same, or like markets.
In fact the least of the problem was to revive
the corporation. The hard propositions are yet to
come. These are first getting the money and next
so using it to both increase prices and get the
money back.
