Commenting on the extraor-
binary number of larceny cases
and other evidences of law
violations, Esquire w. L. Miller
told a representative of The
Times-News today that it is his
opinion that people in the diff
ferent sections of the county
should organize vigilance COM
mittees to aid in bringing law
violators to justice.
Esquire Miller says it is very
hard to get evidence strong
enough to convict by reason of
the fact that most people hate
to come into court. "Many also
are afraid to testify against the
accused" the magistrate said.
"There is also a failure to APP

LONDON, June 81. (UP)-
Sharp differences of opinion be
tween the United States and
Great Britain over methods for
approaching the delicate question
of commercial rather than war
debts threatened 70 hamper prog
ress last night as the world econ
omic conference went into It's
third week here.
Senator James CouZens, of
Michigan, in a brief speech to
the monetary Subco m m t e e,
solemnly announced that the Uni
ted States was prepared to light
en- the burden of debtor countries
permanently-but emphasized nc
meant commercial, and not war,
debts.
Neville Chamberlain. British
chancellor of the Exchequer, in
q speech Just prior to the Couz-
ems announcement. said that ms
government was willing to con
slider reimbursement of CONNER
cial debts, but insisted any such
adjustment must be temporary.
The result Of these two speech
es was TO spread the conviction
that the two great creditor ma
tions showed themselves diane
trically opposed on the all-import-
ant question of whether the seal,
mo down of debts should be tenn
porary OF permanent.
Curiously enough, from the
American point of view, Cham
berlain's statement before the
subcommittee made it appear that
Britain, as a war debt debtor &c
the United States, insists on can
collation. or permanent scaling
down of that debt, but as a com
mercial foreign debt creditor tc
the other nations, opposes any
permanent reOrganizat o n o.

Chamberlain in referring t.
commercial debts, said:
cit does not seem to me thai
the necessity of the times is sue!
as to call for permanent reor
ganization of the debts, whethe1
iong-term or short-term. A gen
eraI rise in prices. for instance
might very materially effect TIT
situation to the advantage of TIT
debtors"
Senator COuzens, who followed
Chamberlain, said: "Prices can
not be raised by monetary ad
justments alone, but the deb
structure must be revised ant
purchasing power increased"
He suggested a worldwide or
gaoization of creditors and tn,
establishment of a permanent ad
visory body to study readjust

! CHARLOTTE, June 27.-The
Junior co-educational college to
be founded by the Western North
Carolina Conference of the NJ. l..
Church South, by merging Weay-
er College and Rutherford Col
lege will be established on prop
, erty in Brevard valued at approx
imately 100000, it was an
nounced last night by Bishop Ed
win D. Mouzon, chairman Of the
conferences educational commits
sion.
Decision to establish the college
at Brevard was made at a meet
ing of the commission held at
Hickory yesterday. Bishop Mou-
ION said that plans for the insti-
tuition will go forward as rapidly
as possible and that the commits
son hopes to have the college
ready for students at the begin
ming of the fall term of 1884.
Brevard was chosen in the face
of invitations from number OF
other cities. 1t was explained that
the major reason for choosing
Brevard was the offer Of the Wo-
mans Council of the Board OF
Missions of the Methodist church
to deed to the conference its en-
tire property at Brevard where
the Brevard Institute was Tor
merly operated.
In addition, several hundred
acres Of farm land have been
donated by citizens of Brevard,
thus giving the conference a large
amount of land and as many
buildings as it will need for sew
eral years.
Property of the old Brevard In
stitute includes an administration
building, girls dormitOry, a
boys dormitory, and other needed
facilities for an institution OF the
type the conference plans to build
Without obligation on its part, the
conference is receiving valuable
piece of property which has ali
! the requisites for the proposed
college, Bishop Mouzon declared.
He said the new college will be
different from other institutions
! in this part of the world" 1t will
feature a self-help program by
which it will be possible for ener-
getic boys and girls who wish to
earn at least part of their en-
penses at the college to do so.
The college will offer a stand
ard two-year college course SO
that a student, upon completing
the work there, may enter any
other college desired as a Junior
1t will also offer opportunities Tor
studying manual arts, agriculture
and industries.
Merger of Weaver and Ruther-
ford colleges into a junior co-edu-
cational college was ordered by
the conference at its last meeting
| held several months ago in Win
ston-Salem. Since that time, the
commission has been busy cOnsiG-
ering proposed locations and tax,
ing up other problems connected
with the merger. 1t is understood

Palestine
Haven for Prosecuted Jews

All Americans who have been Mortified at the persecution
Of Jews Germany by the Hitler government will give moral
or financial support to the Palestine campaign launched by
the Jewish Agency.
The purpose of this campgn is to raise funds to send Jews
from Central Europe, elsewhere to Palestine
The Importance of that country haven of refuge for
suffering members of the Jewish hardly be
emphasized at this time.
The sudden medieval barbarsm by the class
which temporarily controls Germany gives tragic significance
to the need Of such haven for its victims.
Yet the ouages committed against the Jews this and
last have by no means been confined to Germany.
There has been outburst Of anSemism in many other
parts Of the continent and in the brutaies have
exceeded those which have disgraced the Naz regime
Palestine has made marked toward peace and
prosperity since the thanks to the British mandate and
the devoted cooperation of Jewish leaders throughout the
world.
Were funds available of thousands of oppressed Jews
could be sent there either to find homes in the
land of their fathers least protection and justice during
the present of terrorism.
Certainly American jews prosperous than most OF
their coregonists elsewhere will wish to help in the

If you are interested in seeing
a city of change, where old Gus
toms and habits are rapidly be-
ing discarded in favor Of west
ernization. you should visit
Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
There you will see Americaniza-
ton in full swing. Anything
which had its inception in the
United States is accepted in
Bangkok. Not so with European
ideas and customs. There seems
to be some distrust of Europe,
while to the United States the
eyes of the Siamese turn to faith
and almost alteration.
One of the most amusing, or
interesting, phases of life IN
Bangkok is to be found on its
waterways. AS you may know,
Bangkok is a city Of canals.

River, on which the city is situ'
ated, but, in addition to this.
canals wind in and out all
through the city. And there one
sees the native Sampans and
canoes rubbing bows with motor
boats and craft fitted with out
board motors.
In addition to the passenger
or pleasure craft, there are a
number of houseboats and float

THE difficulties encoun-
l. tered by Governor Leh-
man in Albany in securing
the right kind of a beer bill
is not having the best ef-
feet imaginable throughout
the country. The injection
of the purely partisan note
by the Republican assembly
was, perhaps, to have been
expected, since the tradi-
tional policy Of the party in
New York has been favor
able to prohibition. If the
party in the majority in the
assembly had it's way there
would be no beer at all. No
amount of sophisticated ex-
planation can wipe out the
record. And the party Of
Speaker McGinnies is run
ming true to form.
There is another disturb
ing feature to the contro-
versy in Albany-the indi-
cation that some people
imagine that the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the sale Of beer,
the breweries and the poli4
ticians are going to take
charge again.
All of which suggests the
wisdom Of this reminder:
There would have been no
prohibition but for the
scandalous conduct Of the
liquor business; the compe-
tition of breweries in the
retail business; the use Of
saloons for political pur-
poses.
It is the business Of the
breweries to make beer and
sell it to the retail trade;
and it is not their business
to dictate the laws under
which they shall operate.
And just now the politicians
will serve the cause of de-
cent liberality by keeping
their hands off.
The Washington times., 1933-04-05
Liberals Can Kill
Liberal Movement

1t is just as well Tor real
liberals to remember that
the Eighteenth Amendment
is not repealed. There is
no absolute certainty that 1t
will be. That is up to the
States. It requires but 13
of the 48 States to prevent
the repeal. There are some
States that are certain to
vote against repeal. There
are enough where the fight
will be close to more than
make up the 13 necessary
to prevent repeal. And
some of the States will not
act tor a year or two.
If, in the meantime, the
people see, through the
legalized manufacture and
sale of beer, that we are
headed straight back to the
old scandalous conditions
that made prohibitionists
out of hundreds Of thousands
of liberals, hundreds OF
thousands now in favor OF
the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment will change
their minds.
Whether there is a re-
peal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, or not, depends
very largely on what kind
of laws and regulations are
adopted in reference to the
sale of beer.
Now it may be that peo-
pie interested in breweries
do not care whether the
Eighteenth Amendment is
repealed or not;> y some may
think it would be advantage
Gus if repeal fails, provided
they can go on making and
selling beer; but If repeal
fails there will be a power
full movement for the old
Volstead act.
No one can kill the lib
eral movement now but the
liberals - without common
sense, or a decent sense OF
restraint, Or a decent re-
spect for the opinion of
mankind.

A representative of Kuhn,

that for twelve years
men have been engaged in

twelve years of the domi-

For twelve years we had
what many had been clamor-
