SAY SCALING DOWN Of WAR
DEBT IS INEVITABLE

WASHINGTON, July 27.--Recog-
milton that scaling down the war
debts is inevitable as precedent to
world prosperity, while refusing to
take any action toward accomplish
ing this, is the attitude of congress.
Executive officials are silent en- the
subject. They are helpless for the
present to do anything about it un-
der the restrictions placed upon them
by congress in the provisions of the
law creating the refunding commits
sion. The senators themselves are
none too willing to discuss the
thought at any length. Privately
they say the country is not educated
up to the necessity of clearing away
the dead accounts and does not see
that they can be made of value in
stabilizing European budgets by
trading them off for less direct but
more substantial concessions to each
other.
Opposition to the project of writ
ing off the uncollect;ble portion of
the debts due this country by the
European nations in order to hasten
and encourage the settlement of the
reparations and make possible the
stabilization of the worlds business
takes no heed of the economic logic
of the situation.

ger of the weapon.

rendered today according to tele-

READY To MOVE
On SEA G|RT
Gannon's Delegation and
City Democratic Club to
Bring Many Guests

The Democrats of this city ex-
pect to turn out more than 500
strong at the Middlesex county day
at the Little White House in Sea Girt
tomorrow. There will be two dele
cations going from this city, one
being under the direction of County
Clerk Bernard M. Cannon and the
other under the auspices of the City
Democratic Club The City Demo-
cratic Club was the first to announce
that it would take a delegation to
the summer capital, and few days
later Cannon announced that the
George S. Silzer for Governor Club,
of which he is president, would at
tend.
The City Democratic Club delega-
ton, in touring cars and sedans, will
leave at 10 o'clock from in front
of the clubs headquarters at the
Strand theatre. According to officers
of the club today, 800 persons have
applied to them for reservations
which they have been assured.
The Cannon party will leave from
City Hall Park at $3.50 o'clock, in
automobiles and buses. According
to the announcement given out sew
eral days ago, the City Democratic
Committee will go with these dele
gates DUH pdTlleS Will dTIlNc dl
the Little White House in time to
join the review to be held before
Governor Edwards.
There is no use denying the fact
that split exists in the Democrats
in this city, even though everything
is considered to be harmonious. The
fact that Cannon has seen fit to form
an Independent party for the jour-
rey to Sea Girt has become sub
ject of open discussion about the
city.
1t is a matter of public knowledge
the several local political bees will
buzz at Sea Girt. 1t is likely that
one or more candidates may be
doomed for mayor and according to
reports today. it is possible the
John Kelly may declare himself
a candidate for freeholder. Kelly
has been considered for this nom
ination for some time and it is ex-
pected that he will make known to-
morrow his intentions. 1t is
thought that the delegation from
Middlesex tomorrow will impress
upon Kelly the Importance of his
becoming L. candidate, thus making
it impossible for him to refuse to
represent them.
An interesting feature in connec-
ton with the delegation going to Sea
Girt from this city is the appearance
of two advertisements on the first
page of the Evening News today.
One of these invites Democrats to
travel with the Cannon party and
the other instructs those who would
attend to accompany the Regular
Democrats. According to these ads
one may choose for themselves
whether they desire to be "Regu-
lar" Democrat or the B. M. Can
non kind.

WASHINGTON, July with the
federal machinery for control of coal
distribution completed by President
Harding's appointment of central
committee Of departmental heads,
the government today looked to t1i6
states for the necessary cooperation
to put the scheme into effective op-
Grafton.
Immediately after being named
chairman Of the government COM
mittee yesterday. Secretary Hoover
at request of the President, asked
the senators to set up the necessary
organization in each state for insur-
ing equitable distribution and the
maintenance of fair prices of coal
under the administrations plan.
This organization, he said. was to
assume responsibility for all distri-
button within the boundary of each
state except to railways.
At the same time the corporation
of the several transportation regula-
tory bodies was requested by Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Atch
ison, another member of the COM
mittee. in facilitating operation of
the priority order for shipments OF
coal and necessities.
Word is being awaited today
from the governors of states to
whom Secretary Hoover has appeal
ed for help to maintain fair coal
prices. Mr.. Hoover's telegram said:
I'm order that the federal governs
ment may do it's part in the distribu-

very difficult situation, the President
has appointed a committee on coal
distribution, comprising represents

mission and Department of Conn

the purpose of securing co-ordina-

MONMOUTH WANTS
cERAN AS RAMSAY
Boom IS ADVANCED
Ramsay Candidacy Gains
Ground. But Monmouth
Wants Congressional
Candidate, is Claim

No little sensation has been caus-
ed in Democratic circles throughout
the third congressional district,
which comprises Monmouth, Mid
dlesex and Ocean counties, since
the announcement yesterday by
County Clerk Bernard M. Cannon
that he Will support DR.. William
E. Ramsay for the nomination of
congressman in the Democratic
primaries. The announcement came
like bolt out of a clear sky, and
has caused a discussion such as has
not stirred the district for some
time. In fact indications are that
the Democrats are already taking
sides. some being in favcr of the
Ramsay candidacy, while others
many in this city. are openly declar-
ing themselves for Geran.
The question between Geran and
Ramsay seems to rest upon the wet
and dry issue. Iamsay is a 'wet"
candidate, having been defeated for
congress two years ago when he ran
against T. Frank Appleby of Asbury
Park on a wet platform, Appleby
being dry. This according to Ram
says supports should make him the
logical candidate for congress to
run on the Edwards ticket. Geran's
friends. however, point out that as
Geran has never declared himself on
the prohibition issue, even though
he may be a considered dry con-
didate, there is nothing to prove this
to be fact, and that a surprise may
be sprung when he does announce
that he will be candidate. The
tendency of many of the Democrats
is that Geran has the best possibili-
ties in the district for election.
Word from Monmouth county
coming into the city today, seems to
favor the selection of Geran as the
candidate in as much as Middlesex
has the candidate for governor
Monmouth should have the candi-
date for congress. Monmouth DEM
ocrats also point out that since Ger
an and Appleby, the Republican
candidate are both Monmouth coun-
ty residents, Geran would prove
much stronger candidate against
Appleby than would Ramsay
The Geran boosters, even in view
of the fact that no word has been
received from Geran as yet, declare
that they are confident he will be
the candidate and are ready to place
his petitions in circulation as soon
as he gives the word. They main
tain that no matter how many can
didates enter the race Geran will
lead them all and that if nominated
a fight such as the third congress
sional district has never witnessed
will be put up for his election.
Since Mayor Hague of Jersey City
declared that Edwards and Silver
will carry both Hudson and Essex
counties by large majorities, it is be-
lieved by Democrats in this city. that
the main fight of the entire cam
paign will be centered in the third
congressional district.

WOMAN WANTED IN THIS
COUNTY IS ARRESTED

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 27:-
Word has been received at the Office
of the prosecutor of the arrest of
Lottie Britman at Lehighton, Pa.
The woman is wanted here under
an indictment returned by the grand
jury accusing her of abandoning her
newborn baby at Perth Amboy
last June. The situation was brought
to the attention of the Perth Amboy
police through Math Hansen, over
seer of the poor.
Through the Perth Amboy au-
thorities an Indictment was found
by the grand jury and the ensuing
investigation resulted in the wom-
ans arrest yesterday. Extradition
papers will be prepared and it is
likely that the prisoner will be
brought back to Middlesex county
by the last of this week.
The baby is being cared for at
the City Hospital in Perth Amboy.
