DEBTS PLACED
UPON ACENDA
Laval Declares Revision
Talk Did Not Start With
Him and Hoover
(Copvrieht United Press. 1882

Copyright United Press. 1882
PARIS. Jan .10.-CUP)-For-
mer Premier Pierre Laval intimat-
ed strongly to the United Press
today that Secretary of State
Stimson and Secretary of the
Treasury Mills were correct in
stating that the question of debt
revision did not arise during his
conversation with President Hoo
yer in the United States.
Laval placed the start of the
debt differences between France
and the United States at the Lau-
same reparations conference. He
insisted neither he nor President
Hoover foresaw this development.
GENEVA, Jan. 10.-UP)-
The British yesterday came out
in support of placing all inter
governmental debts on the agenda
of the Forthcoming world eco
nomic parley scheduled to be held
soon in London.
The proposal was part of a
four-point program for considera-
ton at the projected London con-
ference, offered by Sir Frederick
Leith-Ross, economic adviser to
Great Britain and a delegate to
the experts preparatory confer
ence now in session here.
The program included these
major points:
1-Inter-governmental debts.
2-Tariffs.
3-Methods of raising rice lev
els.
4-Monetary Reconstruction"
The American experts were un-
derstood to have agreed to this
last proposal. They differed, how
ever. on the priority of the points
suggested at the secret session
and how much emphasis should be
placed on each.
1t was pointed out. for exam
pie. that all attempts in the Unit
ed States to increase prices arti-
ficially had failed, and the belief
had become general that higher
level could be only attained thru
natural processes.
Among these, it was admitted
however, was the return of none
tary stability, hence the Ameri-
cans willingness to consider mon
etary reconstruction as part of
the program at London.

RALEIGH, Jan. 10.-The first
bill to repeal the states "bone
dry" prohibition enforcement
act. known as the burlington act
was introduced in the house to-
day by Representative G. W.
Cover, Jr., of Cherokee county
who incidentally is the youngest
member of the house, being only
% years old.
The bill is very short and very
simple, consisting of only three
sections. But it packs a wallor
like dynamite, since it is all that
is necessary to blow up the
lengthy burlington act with its
80 sections, covering eight print.
ed pages in the public laws of
1928. 1t was enacted by the 1928
general assembly, and is regarded
as being one of the most arid
dry laws ever enacted by any
state, being much more inclusive
and extensive than the Volstead
act, which it was designed to
help enforce.
If this bill by Representative
Cover is enacted and the Tur-
lington act repealed, North Caro-.
lima will no longer have a state
enforcement law and
the enforcement of the national
prohibition laws will be entirely
up to the federal prohibition en-
forcement officers. Under the
terms of the burlington act, all
local peace officers are as much
obligated to enforce the nation
al prohibition laws as any other
laws. But if the act is repealed,
local state and county officers
will be under no obligation to
help enforce the federal pro-
hibition laws. Its repeal will also
make possible and lawful the
sale of wines and beer in North
Carolina at any time that con-
gress should make such sale
legal.

RALEIGH. Jan. 10.-Adoption
by the 1888 general assembly of
Governor Ehringhaus' recon-
mendations on local and county
government would go a long way
toward the bringing about Of
county consultations and reduc-
ton in the costs of county gov
eminent, in the belief of ". f..
Easterling, director Of local gov
eminent.
II would not recommend any
specific instances of consolida-
tion," Easterling said. "for there
are usually political obstacles
which can only be removed by
the voice of the people. But
should the general assembly pro-
vide machinery with which the
consolidation of counties might
be effected with the least pos
sible complications, it would be a
long step forward in paving the
way for local governments to
consolidate"
/ Pointing out that the cost of
local government has risen more
rapidly than that Of the state,
and that even the taking over by
/ the state of particular functions
has not always resulted in local
savings, Governor Ehringhaus
recommended to the general as
sembly that it enact legislation
giving the counties full opportun-
ity for voluntary consolidation
through proper approval in every
county affected.
He also recommended to the
legislature that it enact legisla-
ton paving the way for the con-
solidation of county and city
governments where they are SC
situated that such a plan would
be practicable. and that provi-
sion be made for the consolida,
! ton of particular functions sc
that one officer may perform
the same duty for both city ant
county at saving to both.
Such legislation as has beer
recommended to the general as
sembly by Governor Ehringhaus
and earlier recommended by the
county government advisory com
mission in it's report for 1896
for the benefit of the 1881 leg
islature, would put the matter OF
consolidation into the hands Of
the counties themselves, and pave
the way for them to consolidate
wherever sentiment demands con
solidation.

The Pan-Americah Union in

Assistant Secretary of State, told
the House Appropriations subcom-
mittee when it considered State
Department financial needs for

Carr said this situation was
brought about by the interna-
tional exchange situation and the
fact that Latin-American govern
ments have to pay their share of
union expenses in American
dollars.
The economy policy is being
worked out by not filling vacan-

to take leave without pay, and is
helped by the fact that employees

CAPITAL HEARS
FIRST OPERA
Of SEASON
BY RONALD THORNE

Washington had its first oper-
attic production Of the season last
night at the Washington Audito-
rum in presentation of "Caval.
leria Rusticana" and "I Pagliac-
ci," under the direction Of
Maestro Alfredo Salmaggi.
Singers already widely known
in Washington through their ap-
pearance here with the Metro
politan and Chicago opera COM
panies appeared in most Of the
principal roles Of the almost
inseparable operate twins, but
the occasion also served for an
impressive local debut for Lola
Monti Gorsey, in the role of
Media in Leoncavallo's work.
"Cavalleria Rusticana" and IT
Pagliacci" make an operatic bill
second in popularity, probably,
only to Carmen" They are al
most invariably sure-fire, to Dor.
row a term from vaudeville and
the legitimate stage. That Is
because they offer, in addition to
CAbIdOI u111hI11y 4I11C ulu0AO COA1~
tent, more effective drama than
is customary in opera. Maestro
Salmaggi chose wisely for his
first local productions, as was re-
vealed in the enthusiasm Of the
audience.
Outstanding among the per-
sonal successes Of the evening
was that of Giuseppe Radaelli in
the role of Canio. He was par
ticularly fine in his rendition of
the aria, "Vesti la giubba."
PaSquale Ferrara and Della
Samoiloff, as Turiddu and San.
tuzzi, were warmly applauded as
"Cavalleria Rusticana" unfolded
its tragic story of Sicilian life.
Luigi Bonelli as Alto, Dea Silva
as Lucia and Dorothy Seegar as
Lola sang the other roles.
Pasquale Amato, best known
locally Of the imported artists of
the operatic casts, sang Tonic,
and Giuseppe Bruno, a Washing
tonian, was effective as Silvio.
Gabrielle Simeone, who con-
Quoted the orchestra, added
much to the success Of the oc-
casion.

SEES DANGERS
IN|NFLATION

In the concluding article of q
series dealing NTH Initiation, the
Uietus Of Eugene Meyer, 0oUernoT
of the Federal ReserDe Board,
former member of the board OF
the Reconstruction Finance Cor.
porGtton, and internationally
knoDn authority on economics,
are presented. .
'STinkering with the currency
Of the United States would have
the effect Of seriously under
minig national confidence.
"GOOd currency is driven out
by inferior currency.
''NO country in the world has
embarked on currency infla-
tiOn voluntarily.
There Is NO country on the
paper basis that does not want
to get back on . stable basis"
These are some Of the views Of
Eugene Meyer, governor Of the
Federal Reserve Board, who holds
that a unified banking system, or
at least an efficiently organized
and properly supervised banking
structure, is vital to the control
Of initiation and deflation Of
credit.
Sound Principles Urged
Efforts to stabilize without fun
damental improvement in the
banking structure seem to Cover
nor Meyer not to pay sufficient
attention to the agency through
which sound principles can be put
into practice. He said:
'In proposing to add to q
very large issue Of currency to
the fiscal and financial system
Of this country, It is sometimes
pointed out that other countries
have successfully followed some
procedure Of such q character.
~ want to say that the course
Of this country should be deter
mined by its own resources, its
own powers, and the character
Of its own people. It certainly
would be q poor plan for us to
follow the example Of repudia-
tiOn and bankruptcy which has
occurred in some countries, or
to adopt q policy Of initiation
which other countries were COM
PEELED to follow.
Confidence in u. S.
To-day, while we have our
worries, the people Of the world
have more confidence in the
United States than they have In
themselves or any other cOun-
try:
, ''The thing that I think seri-
OusIy would endanger this con-
fidence would be tinkering with
the currency Of the United
States"
In Meyers opinion there is
nothing that ruins the trade Of
a country, internally and exter-
nally, more than violently fluctu-
ating currency.
