DEBT
PROBLEM NOW
OFF CALENDAR
England's Delay in Parleys
Leaves Question for New
Administration.
GEDDES GOES TO LONDON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The British
debt problem finally was marked off the
Wilson administration calendar today.
Along with the tariff and tax programs
and other major questions, 1t definitely
reached the stage where the Harding
Cabinet must assume full responsibility
for settlement. The treasury, therefore,
settled down to closing up other matters,
now pressing for consideration, and
thrust aside an elaborate schedule for
British parleys, abruptly disarranged By
England's postponement of conferences
with American representatives.
Secretary of Treasury Houston, this
Governments chief representative in the
English debt negotiations, frankly ac-
knowledged that adjustment of the Brit
ish debt question by the present admin
istration is practically hopeless. The
Secretary, after scanning advices from
London transmitted through the State
Department, was assured that the arr
rival Of Lord Chalmers, British Sec
rotary of Finance, probably will be de-
Iayed until late in February, and there
was suggestion of even further delay
! in his departure from London.
DELAY IN CHALMERS
ARRIVAL ANNOUNCED.
Lord Chalmers may reach Washington
the latter part of February, but the
starting of conferences at so late a pc
Rod will render it impossible to reach
any agreement before l go out Of office"
Secretary Houston said.
He declined to comment upon the prob
able reasons for the delay.
Around the treasury there was we'll
defined belief among those in most In
innate touch with the recent events IN
Z UaSb{D Ufor hot he c1tira
basis for adjustment of the English debt
may be radically changed. Secretary
Houston maintained the utmost reticence.
But the impression exists that England
may soon come forward after President
Harding is inaugurated with proposals,
newly framed, and bereft of some Of the
Sought-for Concessions" which they have
stressed in the preliminary conferences
here on the debt question.
GEDDES GAINS
IMPRESSIONS.
Sir Auckland Geddes is carrying TO
London and will lay before the Lloyd
George cabinet in day or two impress
sions" gained in talks with officials here
with respect to the debt settlement and
other matters closely linked up with it,
and officials here feel that he cannot
escape the duty of bringing home recon-
mendations for remedies along certain
fiscal lines.
Ambassador Geddes, in conference both
with the state and treasury departments.
is said to have been told in plain Ian
guage that the British debt might be
arranged upon terms which might meet
with general approval in America as well
as England, If there could be some show
of sincere effort by England to rectify
some Of her own budget and other prob
lens In a way that would make a solu-
tion Of the debt question less complicated
and less open to public disapprovaL.

SUSPECTS FEAR
OF WOMEN'S VOTE.

DR.. Keller demanded to know whether
Immediately after the enfranchisement OF
women 1.-THE Republican party intends tC
take away with its left hand that which
it gave with its right" She also de-
manded to know whether the politicians
are afraid Of the vote of the women in
the primaries.
She declared that the women know that
the primary has given the individual his
opportunity. She pointed out that the
primary greatly increased the attendance
OF the voters at the polls.
Mr.. Simmons appealed to the commit
tee to give the women a chance to vote
at a primary. He declared that a man
who is capable of being Governor will
be recognized as such and will not need
to spend $4,000 to get the office.
Mrs. jameson said the women who
have worked for suffrage protest against
the partial taking away Of the rights SC
recently attained by taking away the
primary.

Morrison Inaugurated.

With bands playing, guns
roaring and railroad whistles
screaming at intervals, Cameron
Morrison was Wednesday at
noon formally inaugurated as
Governor of North Carolina. The
ceremonies were happily carried
out in every detail. Ex-Lieut.
Gov. Max Gardner presided at
the exercises at the auditorium;
he introduced Ex-Gov. Beckett
who in turn introduced Mr.. Nor
rison. Chief Justice Walter
Clark administered the oath.
The inaugural address was
strong and clear, outlying a pro-
gram distinctly progressive. Mr.
Morrison is possessed of the
qualities of a courageous advo
cacy, and Richmond county is
expecting its son to be hailed as
a great Governor.

As every ore has felt, the coUN-
try for the past several months has
been In the clutches of a serious
financial and business depression.
The dchation movement "defatcd'
much faster than many anticipated
MANY manufacturing industries
temporarily closed down, and the
price of practically everything a
farmer had to sell simply fell to
pieces.
But the clouds apparently now are
rifted. Banks and. financiers gen
orally state that the country has
passed through its worst period OF
depression and the upgrade should
lie ahead. And only the rankcst
kind of pessimism can hold us back.
And who wants to be pessimlst
when every human instinct spurs us
on to optimism? Let's demonstrate
our faith in the return of prosperity
by recognizing the fact that it is OH
the way and by doing our share to-
ward it's maintenance in this com
munity.
Let the watchword be prudent
and economical production, wisdom
in spending, and the employment OF
systematic course in saving.
A proportionate amount of the
prosperity of the country belongs
to the people of Rockingham and
Richmond county. Let's get all we
cen and Keep all we get. Other com
munitics will be doing the same
thing.
