Avoid Waters on
"Old Quork's Day
Tradition $50 Years Old

Fearing Squalls.
By the Associated Press.

OCRACOKE, N. c., March 16.-To-
day the natives of this island off the
North Carolina coast will not 60 out
upon the waters of the Pamlico Sound
to their nets, or to dredge scallops, rake
clans or tong oysters, for March Is
is "Old Quork's day.
A tradition of over $50 years relates
that Old Quork's day is day Of sud-
den squalls, and the fisherman who
ventures upon the water may find his
boat blown to destruction upon some
nearby shoal.
The day and the superstition is Pc
culiar to this island. The story goes
that fisherman named John Quork, in
Colonial times, went upon the sound
on March 16.
There was little wind. First Quork
prayed for a breeze, then cursed because
his prayers were not answered.
Then came a sudden puff, which
wrecked the boat and drowned Quork
His boat washed up upon another
shoal, which later was named for him.

NEW YORK, March l6.-The United
States has invested abroad about $685.
50o,000,000, according to the conlputa-
tions of Lawrence Dennis, former
banker and one-time member of the
United States diplomatic service.
But, Mr.. Dennis says in his book, us

This would be an excellent showing
Mr.. Dennis admits, If it were other than
a paper obligation, because. as matter
of fact, he says, $11, 900, 100000 of war
debts and $4,000,000,C00 of defaulted
bonds and over-valued Investments

collected.
":Thus," Mr.. Dennis says, "for a net
creditor position, on international bal
ance, of between five and six billion
dollars in a near future, in exchange
the war. or q net gain of eight or nine
billions since 1914, we exported 1922
million more than we imported in the
period from July, 1914, to December,
1919.
"Of this 1922 million surplus, 1894
million was an excess of actual exported
commodities over imports. (The money
we lent or invested represented in large
part the profit we made on this export
surplus)
Rather Costly Price"
Docs this not seem a rather costly
price to have paid for the change in our
real net worth on international ac-
count? Do these figures suggest that
our war exports really have enriched
Us?
'Then. of course, there is the small
trifle of the costs of the war, not fig
ured in these totals. Does foreign trade
pay?
"If we could consider our $28, $780,
100000 of assets as sound values, and
If we disregard the costs of the war,
we might grant a case for the profit
ableness of our war trade. But these

CANDIDATE GR|GSBY
 SETS FORTH VIEWS
 MESSAGE TOvOTERS

The message of George B. GrigS- by, candidate for Delegate to Con- gress, subject to the primary elec- tion, April 26, is set forth clearly in the following statement:
 AS a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for Delegate to Congress at the coming primary election, I herewith make a brief statement of the principles for which I stand.
 T am i nfavor of the direct pri- mary law and absolutely opposed to it's repeal.
 T consider the future admins tration of the fisheries of Alaska as the big issue of this campaign Am utterly opposed to the present bureaucratic control.
 T am in favor of the abolition of fish traps, and as the most effect i've means to this end, will, if elect ed, work for the transfer of all fed eral control of the fisheries to the Alaska Territorial Legislature. l believe this can be accomplished with the advent of the Democratic administration, which is assured.
 T will do my utmost to put the Bureau of Fisheries out of busi- ness in the Territory of Alaska, ex- cept for the purposes of scientific research.
 T am opposed to all forms of bureaucratic government. No fed eral bureau should have any power to legislate whatsoever.
 Tt will be my endeavor, if elect ed, to open the public domain of Alaska to settlement and develop ment under the same liberal laws under which other Territories were developed This includes tim per lands, oil and coal lands. I am op- posed to the leasing system.
 T am opposed to the Pinchot system of conservation as applied to Alaska, believing that nature and economic conditions present sufficient barriers to the develop ment of the Territory, without ad- ditional man-made restrictions.
 'The Alaska Legislature should have complete control of the game and fur-bearing animals.
 "The Democratic doctrine of states rights, advocated for the past one hundred years, is particu- larly applicable to this Territory We should be accorded home rule in the Territory on all subjects of legislation not purely federal.
 T have not recently adopted the above platform but have cam paigned on the same platform for three successive campaigns, each time gaining more votes, and in the last election was beaten by my Republican opponent by only 296 votes. I believe those who vote in the Democratic primary all desire to nominate a candidate who has the best chance of success at the election this coming November. l will not in this message, or else where, reflect on the merits of the opposing candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination. However, the friends who have urged me to again become a candidate, and I myself, believe, that my past re- cord in office, as United States at torney, as Attorney-General, and Delegate to Congress; the wide ac- quaintance obtained by my suc- cessive campaigns, the increasing number of votes gained in each of them, all indicate that l am the logical candidate and deserving of the nomination in the April pri- mary. GEORGE GRIGSBY.
