A Better Feeling.
News and Courier.)


A day or so ago the News and
Courier reprinted from the Allen
dale County Citizen a very cheerful
article reviewing courageously and
optimistically the recovery Of AL
lendale county from the blow which
it received when the cotton indus
try there was destroyed by the
boil weevil. The Bamberg Her
aid in its current issue sounds the
same note with respect to condi-
tions in Bamberg.
The most striking thing at the
! present time says The Herald,
is that the farmers have taken
new heart. Other people will take
new courage in the same degree
that the farmer does. This is an
agricultural county and the atti-
tude of the planter is very near the
attitude Of all other people. Cot
ton is gone, apparently, for some
years anyway. Our farmers are
not laying down on the job, but
are up and doing, finding new
methods of making the farm prof.
table. The old feeling Of fear when
mention was made OF going into
new fields Of endeavor is fast being
dissipated. The spirit OF venture
is taking a grip on folks; they are
not afraid OF trying out new crops.
Some Of them VIII prove highly
profitable. others will probably be a
failure 1t is a JOY to note the
products that are being shipped
daily from Bamberg and doubtless
from ot h Y railroad q t o n 5
throughout the county. Inciden.
tally some good money is being
made from these ventures While
our old standby, cotton, has gone
TO the discard for the time, good
prices are being had for other
farm products. and in this the
planter is fortunate. Mt-ket con-
ditions are favorable and folks are
getting cheerful again.
The BamberS Herald IS not given

courage up. One Of the most in

FARM BLOCK FOR
MUSCLE SHOALS
Senator Capper Makes An
nouncement That May Have
Deciding Influence

Washington, April l5.-1He SEN
ate farm bloc was recorded today
by Senator Capper of Kansas, its
chairman. as favoring the develop
ment of The Muscle Shoals project
In brief reference to the power
and nitrate projects on the Ten
nessee river, made in a speech on
the floor, the senator declared his
belief that the nations fertilizer bill
coulu be reduced 'by one-half #
we carry out the Muscle Shoals
project.
Another measure favored by
the farm. bloc which will contribute
to. a permanent and prosperous
system of agriculture" Senator
Capper said, '.is the development of
the Muscle Shoals project. We
should resume work Immediately on
the Tennessee river. The nations
fertilizer bill is now about s25.-
000, ,000 annually. believe it is
possible to, reduce this one-half If
we carry out the Muscle Shoals
project"
The Kansas senator's declaration
was made several hours after the
senate agriculture committee, of
which he is a member, had closed
for the day it's hearings on the
Muscle Shoals properties. Maj.
w. H. Burns of the war depart
ment's ordnance bureau had testi-
fed on various phases Of the pow
er and nitrate developments at the
shoals. =
Major Burns reiterated his be-
lief that the government was NOR
ally bound to execute in good faith
the contracts between the war de-
partment, the Alabama Power
company and the American Cyan
amid company, giving the latter
companies exclusive purchase
rights on the Gorgas steam plant
and nitrate plant No. 2, at Mus.
Gle Shoals, in the event those units
were ever disposed of to private
enterprise. He declared that as
long as Henry Ford included the
two projects in his proposal con-
gress could not very well accept it
in view of the arrangement made
by the department with the two
companies.
The witness made it clear, how
ever, that the acting Judge advo-
cate reneral of the army had given
an opinion holding the contracts
to be non-enforceable. null and
void. Despite the ruling of the
chief law officer of the war depart,
ment, the major. testified, it was
/ che conviction of the ordnance bu-
reau officials that the government
should redeem its written promises
made to the two concerns when
they constructed the plants involv-
ed.
Chairman Kahn announced to-
day: that the. house military COM
mittee would evolve probably with
in two days rough draft from
which it was hoped report could
be fashioned soon for presentation
to the house.
The; intercommittee discussions
which have been progressing every
day this week, ne said. We're, ap-
preaching a basis on which it
might be possible to begin drafting
the committees recommendation
for the house, covering the four
private offers for development Of
the. shoals properties.

FRENCH REFUSAL.
CRITICIZED HERE
Frances Policy Adds, to
U. S. Tax Burden, So
Mccormick Asserts

WASHINGTON, Feb. rs.-Sentl-
ment was divided in the senate to-
day regarding tho flat statement
that France can never pay her war
debt TO the United States which was
made, at Pafis by Louis Loucheur,
forHer commissioner of tho French
devastated regions In the BRAND gov
crnment and now n member of the
French chamber.
The suggestion by Louchcur that
France might liquidhte her debt
by an exchange OF French and
Americans goods was considered
significant, in view OF the fact that
he was largely instrumental in ar
rangement OF the Weisbaden agree
ment for a similar exchange Nbe-
tween France and Germany.
His Opinion Important.
considerable weight Is given
Loucheur's uttorances in view Of his
position I'm Europe as financier
and an economist Of tho first RANK.
II was reported that he would at
tend the recent armament confer
ence, but Brands downfall is said
to have prevented Louchcur from
coming here to urge that the Amcri-
can government participate i'm an In
Loucheur's statement that France
"canont pay now, cannot ever pay"
was received by senators with mani
fest interest.
Senator Mccormick. republican Of
Illinois member OF the senate for
eign relations committee, who re-
Gently charged that Frances in
ability to pay was due to n badly
balanced budget resulting from her
maintenance of large standing
army. said:
"Loucheur's statement is the first
official announcement that the
French republic does not contem-
plate paying its debt to the United
States. 1t is true that recently the
Paris Matin announced that the pay
ment of the French debt to the
United states was conditioned not
only on the payment of reparatlons
by Germany, but upon the payment
by Russia of the debt contracted at
the outbreak of the world war.
Loaned Gold in Good Faith.
THE loans made to European gov
ernments by the United States were
made in good faith and when they
were made no Russian or other con-
ditions were attached to them. The
payment Of interest OF several
European states is of more interest
to the taxpayers of this country than
the payment of the capital eum of
the debt.
Added TO the amount OF the In
terest annually due us from Europe
and unpaid, the American taxpayer
Is paying for European armament
and civil establishment. But more
than that. the depreciation of cur
rency in Europe and the instability
of exchange. insofar as they are
caused by excessive public expendi-
ture and the resultant governmental
deficits. directly and Immediately
contribute TO the depreciation in
prices of American products, agri-
cultural and manufactured.
The American people are patient.

but they know that they are suffer-
ing because OF trans Atlantic polit-
ical and economic conditions which
may be improved, II not cured, pro-
vlded certain European governments
are willing"
Senator King, democrat OF Utah,
member OF the senate naval affairs
committee. said:
'"The statement OF Loucher con-
cernlng the financial condition OF
France and her inability 20 pay her
obligations. is, in my opinion, sub
stantlally correct. France has a
population of 40,000,000. The war
destroyed 100000 of her men and
disabled more than 100000. Her
Indebtedness exceeds $63, 900, 900, 600
and the entire value OF her property,
public and private, is less than
$4,000, 100000.
Frances. people are being taxed
heavily. Her manufacturing section
was destroyed hy the war and she
has been compelled to advance more
than $4,000, 100000 francs for PEN
sions and the reconstruction of her
devastated regions. Billions more
will have TO be raised in taxes or
loans for her to meet the expenses
she incurred by me war. In this
situation it is manifestly impossible
for France to meet her current obli-
cations for many years to come.
"Rcmcmbcr Her Sacrifice"
Complaint has been made that
France maintains large army.
Great Britain has nearly a million
men out OF employment. France
has none, Her unemployed are In
her army. And the work of her
army Is not confined to military
service, but is devoted to reconstruc-
tion work. building roads and doing
other things absolutely necessary.
Let us not be hypocritical about
France or her inability TO pay her
debt. Let us never forget the ter
rible and costly sacrifices she made
in the world war. Let us always
remember tho frightful devastation
she suffered"
