PAYNE TALKS tn
CLARENDON
CITIZENS
Opposes Fee System-Body of
Vivian Wright to Be Buried
With Military Honors.

CLARENDON, Va, July ga
In his talk before the Arlington
Athletic Club last night, A. P.
Payne, candidate for the House of
Delegates, defended his plan for
the incorporation of zones six and
ten of Arlington county on the
ground that it was the only plan
that could be devised that would
not work hardship on some part
Of the county.
He states that If all of the
county was incorporated under one
act that the tax rate would have
to be uniform over the whole area
and that the thickly settled portions
would get the improvements while
the rest would have to pay the same
tax. He also claimed that is. the
only possible way to get from under
the fee system for four years to
come, since county officers are
elected in November and take Of
flee January /, and the legislature
does not meet until January z, and
no legislature can increase or de-
crease the fees or commissions of
an elected officer during his term.
Edmon Clark, justice of the peace
for the town of Potomac, addressing
the citizens of Clarendon last night
stated the people of Jefferson dis
trict were opposed to the fee system
and asked the support of the
people in this end of the county to
elect men to the Legislature and
State Senate who are in favor of
abolishing the fee system in Airing
ton county.

Reinburg, who died at the home of

nounced last night that he would be

stable of Arlington district.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The
governments of Europe am ex-
cepting the British Isles, as I
did not visit them on a tour from
which I have just returned-are
not concerned with Americas atti-
tude toward the League Of
Nations or the world court.
Concerned Over Money.
You never hear the question as
to when or why we do not partici-
pate in or become members, of
either of these associations.
You do, however, hear this ques-
ton:
What is America willing to do
financially for Europe?'
The chief international questions
today are:
Are the United States willing
to cancel our debts to foreign gov
eminent?
2-Will we loan the money to
Europe?
Putting it in another way. Europe
Is not interested in receiving moral
advice or leadership. 1t considers
itself capable to solve its own
domestic and foreign affairs
Europe is ready and willing ID
receive our financial support.
Whether we go into the League of
Nations or the World Court is in
consequential so far as Europe is
concerned.
The suggestion which I have
brought home to my countrymen
is this:
Let us be as practical as Europe
Is and announce whether we are
willing to cancel our debts and
assume new obligations from the
foreign governments.
Europe Not Bleeding.
Let me add that Europe is not
bleeding, neither is she in a chaotic
state.
The reconstruction following the
world war has gone on marvelously
well, considering everything. The
countries of Europe are rapidly get
ting back to their peace-time
prosperity.
One serious political question IS
still at hand, nevertheless. 1t is
the question of the Ruhr. That
question is pregnant with the most
serious consequences. The League
Of Nations is evidently unwilling to
touch it. In my opinion, serious re-
suits may follow, again threatening
the peace of the world and matnten-
ance of democratic institutions In
Germany if Great Britain and
America do not boldly declare them
selves in move to bring Germany
and France together. Perhaps the
time has not yet arrived for such
act but it cannot be far distant, if
war or worse than war is to be
checked in the future.
