GERMANY Ape AIS To

London, April 22.-The drastic eff
forst of Germany to induce the Unit
ed States to arbitrate the reparations
question, and the refusal of the United
States to sit in judgment on the merits
OF the vexing problem. have lent new
interest to the conference next Sun
day between Premier BRAND of
France and Premier Lloyd George OF
England. The expressed desire of the
United States that there be. immediate
resumption of negotiations has brought
a new element into the situation,

miers would merely consider plans for
further occupation of Germany and
not renewal of exchanges between
London, Paris and Berlin.

Dutch After
American Tourists
{By Associated Press)

The Hague, April 22.-To encour-
age tourist travel in Holland this
summer the Dutch Government has
removed many of the passport res
trictions which American tourists met
here a year ago.
Vises are now granted which are
valid for six months without neces-
sity of securing new ones for enter
ing and leaving the country during
that period, and registration with the
police is no longer necessary for trav-
elers from America. unless they re-
main longer than one month.
Belgium has made similar arrange
ments, eliminating so far as possible
the necessity for frequent trips to
consuls etc., but because the United
States charges fee Of $40 for WISE
ing the passport Of foreigner, Bel
gium retaliates by making an equal
charge for Americans, although travel
ers of other nationalities pay much
smaller fee.

Danish Commission To

Copenhagen, April 22.-The Danish
new system of government for its
colony of Greenland but the Royal
Commission appointed for that pur-
pose has been unable thus far to agree
the Eskimos of that far nor
thern land shall be allowed to have
free trade with all nations.
King Christian is to visit Greenland
in june the first time Danish King
has ever visited that colony. and the
Commission hopes to reach an agree
ment in time to enable him to an
nounce the new plan of government
when he is greeted by the Eskimos.
A well-known Greeland explorer,
who is not member Of the Commis-
sion, told the correspondent that one
section Of the Commission was hold
ing out for free trade between the
Greeland Eskimos and the nationals
added, brightly says that the present
system of the Danish state granting g
monopoly to a single company, even
Of this company is managed by Dan
ish state officials and for all practical
purposes is a government department,
lis a direct violation Of all democratic
principles.
Without any competition, no com
ipany, and particularly company
managed by state officials, could pos
sible be expected to obtain for pro
duets of the natives the same high
prices as would be obtainable in the
open market. Monopoly never bred
efficiency.
! On the OCnef nanO. Lne OIHeT SeC
tion Of the Royal Commission asserts
that the Eskimo is a child and must
be treated like a child, that intox1ca

of civilization must be kept away

CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS AND APPOINTED COMMITTEES

The public meeting of the Law and
order league appointed for last night
1t the School Building was called to
,,~Epr by the President. Mr. S. A. |
Dunn. with an attendance of approx
imately one hundred people.
Tie president stated that this 1eag-
ua was not organized against indiv;
.IuaIs. nor to align any body of citi-
zras against another, but to build up
., sentiment in favor of law and Or
der, and civic pride. He contended
that the citizens of Scotland Neck as
/. Whole were as good as any people
...I,el.ere and that is was not the IN
-,u-loE - convey any other impress
SION. Also. that the officers Of the
law were Just as fearless as thoes OF
any town That the purpose Of the
meetings was to create a better feel
ING between the officers of the law
and the citizens with the idea OF
closer cooperation between the two in
the enforcement of the law.
Hen then read a copy of the con-
>riution and by laws, which were
adopted.
Other SPEAKERS were called upon,
notably Messrs. Stuart Smith, Ashby
Dunps Paul Kitchin and Prof. NJ. A.
tion was made that Scotland Neck
possessed as fine citizenship as any
Town in North Carolina or any other
state and that while there was un-
doubtedlv infractions of the law, that
the percentage of the population gull
small. One Of the speakers laid par
ticular stress upon the fact that prac-
4ically every individual was guilty Of
breaking the law in a more or Tess
minor degree, and that each individual
should put himself straight before he
fellow. He stated that hypocricy was
deadly evil and should not be prac-
ticed. Another contended that it was
TO use hackneyed expression ''1m
possible to legislate morals into peo
pe'' but that these same people Ii
approached IN persuasive manner
could be influenced into the right
way, but could not be forced.
Unquestionably the purpose Of tni:
organization, as expressed in the con
>titution, and as given by the varrou
Spokesmen, is to create and build VI
a healthy respect for the law and Law
enforcement, close cooperation be
tween the officers of the law and tn
citizens. and for general civic better

1t is the further purpose to hav

ing effect and create splendid sent
ment for general civic betterment.
The meeting last night was inte
spersed with musical numbers, all {
which were old songs familiar to ever
one, and the entire audience joined
7he singing. Every one should tai
these meetings up and every person

9er and attend the meetings.

James A. Edgar, candidate for the
Republican Nomination for State
Senator at the coming Primary Elec-
ton, September 27th, 1921, is well
known in MiddleseX County as a
nan of business ability. as well as of
legislative experience. The record
Mr.. Edgar made during his two
terms as Assemblyman is n to be
proud of. He was the pioneer AS
semblyman from this County cleo
ted on a local option platform. He
spoke on the floor of the House OF
Assembly for the bill, and was the
only Assemblyman from Middlesex
County to vote for the measure dur
ing the sessions of 1917-191S. He
helped secure the passage of local
option, which afterwards became a
law.
For several years prior to his cleo
ton as Assemblyman, he advocated
Woman.s Suffrage. During his term
of office, when the women of New
Jersey pleaded with the Legislature
for equal rights, Mr.. Edgar was a
champion of their cause. He was
one of fifteen Assemblymen to re-
quest the Speaker of the House OF
Assembly to relieve the Committee
of the Woman's Suffrage Bill, so that
it might be brought out on the floor
of the House for consideration.
He fulfilled all of his prediction
pledges and worked consistently for
the best interests of Middlesex Coun-
ty. If nominated and elected state
Senator, Mr.. Edgar pledges himself
to vote for the ratification OF the
18th Amendment. He further prom
Uses to vote for legislation that Will
bring about the strict enforcement
of prohibition. Mr.. Edgar favors
legislation for open specifications
and competitive bidding in the
building of roads.
He realizes that the burden of tax
alton is becoming unbearable. Our
last legislature passed measure after
measure creating or increasing sal
aries. If elected he will do his ut
most to guard the interests of the
taxpayers by opposing such meas
ures. He has always shown an in
terest in the Veterans of the late
war and will legislate to help their
lust demands. Mr.. Edgar appeals
TO the Republican voters, both men
and for their support. and
his constituents can rest assured that
with James A. Edgar as the Senator
from Middlesex. their interests will
be honestly and efficiently safe
guarded.
Remember the Primary Election,
September eth, and vote for James
A. Edgar.
