sumes somewhat large proper
lions in the matter Of the lake.
We must give them a dose OF
what they have at home in he
shape of the best we can do to
reproduce miniature Lake
Michigan in the valley of the
French Broad, the Swannannoa,
or elsewhere near the mountain
metropolis. The editor does not
tell us who Mr.. McReynolds is,
but let US give him due regard.
If the "huge lake" is to be
made below Asheville, without
destroying any substantial inter
ests, or if any site other than
that suggested above Asheville,

and his editor friend, we'll and

worth the money to be spent by
the federal government, unless
indeed Asheville will spend it..
But if our valley must be sacri-
feed to Asheville's dissatisfied
customers" who want something
else than climate, scenery, golf
and hotels, then a few observa-
tons are in order.
The first is that the alternate
plan of lakes in the mountains
on the tributary streams of the
French Broad ought to satisfy
any reasonable demands of the
McReynolds tribe. I have tried
to show this in detail already.
But if Mr.. McReynolds of Chi
cago, insists on a Lake Michigan
here (and what does a huge"
lake mean?) I suggest that a
dam a thousand feet high be
made above Knoxville. and that
a "Dawes plan" be financed in
Chicago to execute it. If such
charming lakes as those in Scot
land, or in Ireland, or in the
lake country of England, be-
loved of Wordsworth's heart, are
not good enough for the lovers
of bigness, why not let them
stay around Lake Michigan, or
go up to Superior, or fly over to
Tanganyika? Then summer in
Canada is ideal, and big lakes
there are as common as corn
fields in Illinois.
Again, what are the other at
fractions demanded by the "dis-
satisfied customers" of the
mountain metropolis? One Won

DON'T WRECK THE SCHOOLS

All friends of the public schools regret
TO see forces taking hold in the system
which tend toward further disruption or
North Cardinals schools. The bad feeling
which is evident in Henderson county and
in other counties on account Of objections
to rules made for bus transportation OF
pupils, is straw pointing in the direction
in which the schools appear to be headed
under the new regime.
In all seriousness and earnestness to
serve the cause of public education, this
newspaper urges the people of Henderson
county to keep cool and move cautiously
in this matter No doubt it is veXing mat
ter in connection with the schools and some
of the patrons are keenly indignant at what
they regard as the injustice of the rules
controlling in this case, but it is matter
which must be adjusted in a spirit of rea-
sonable consideration of all the points and
issues involved.
Without attempting to go into the merits
of the case against the rules for bus trans
portation, it may be said that this trouble
and other troubles which will arise in the
State management of the schools, are Ger
tainly to be attributed to the' centraliza-
ton of authority in the State government.
With the exception of road improve
ment, nothing in the North Carolina devel-
dpment program in the past quarter OF
century has enlisted the widespread and
enthusiastic interest of the people so much
as the public schools. This applies with
particular force to the country districts
and the small towns, where modern schools
have become the community centers OF
hundreds of North Carolina communities.
The schools were something tangible in
which the people could interest them
selves. They have been the strongest force
in late years in building up community
spirit and in developing community coop
Grafton. A large part of the responsibility
for carrying on the schools rested on the
people, the patrons of the school; the man.
sgement of the schools in large measure
was in the hands of local officials and
much of the responsibility rested directly
upon the patrons.
vi III IuS OldIC,
management over local matters exercised
from Raleigh, is bound to create problems
and difficulties. North Cardinals public
school system must be preserved, however.
II has been given some severe blows. If il
survives, the survival will be ample evil
dence of the strength of public devotion to
the cause of common school education.
The TimeS-News believes the school sys-
TEN will survive; and that after the State
has fully recovered from the present brain
storm, there will be adopted a rational sys-
TEN of public education, which will secure
adequate support for the schools, adequate
pay for teachers, and which will return the
larger part of responsibility for school
management to district boards, superin-
tendents and principals, and the patrons
of the schools.

(By The Associated PressI

Japan's carefully planned invasion
OF the province OF Jehol appears to
be under way, but the League Of Ma
tions. anxious that nothing be left
undone II the dispute in Manchuria
can be settled without more fight
ing. has delayed until Friday final
action on its Manchurian report.
Tokyo had word from Chinchow, In
Southern Manchuria, that japanese
troops marched into Jehol, captured
the town of Nanling, swept eight
miles farther to occupy Koupeiyingt-
zu, and kept on going toward Pei
piao, terminus Of the railroad line
from Chinchow. The dispatches
brought no detail but apparently the
Chinese resistance. II any, was futile.
simultaneously Japanese planes
bombed Chinese camps near Kailu,
another city In Northern Jehol.
Shanghai learned that the govern
ment Of Manchukuo had prepared an
ultimatum for delivery to Chang
Hsiao- -Liang and the Marking gov
ernment on Thursday, demanding
complete evacuation OF Jehol.
At Geneva the league went through
with its schedule, submitting the
Manchurian report to special ses-
sion Of the league assembly, which
adjourned without discussion after
agreeing to debate the report on FRI
day. The Japanese delegation rel
terated that the report was objec-
tionable to Tokyo and might result
In Japan's secession from the league.
Ready to Withdraw
At Tokyo spokesman announced
that Japan's formal notification OF
its withdrawal from the league will
be issued some time In March.
The government will not await the
return of Yosuke Matsuoka, the chief
Japanese delegate at Geneva.
Foreign Minister Yasyua Uchida
telephoned approval of Matsuoka's
plan to leave Geneva about February
Is, returning homeward by way Of
the United States. He would sail
from San Francisco March q.
Matsuoka will stop at Washington,
hoping to meet President-elect Roos-
evelt. It was doubtful whether this
would be possible. however, due to the
stress Of the post-inauguration Pc

New York, Feb. 2l-(P)-President-

conferred with the British ambassa-
dor.
William Duncan Herridge. the Can

An early world economic parley is
believed in prospect. A united front
by America and Great Britain in the
far eastern crisis appears probable.
Direct From Steamer
Bringing Sir Ronald to his home
here from the decks Of his inbound
liner late Monday. the President
elect gave every sign Of desiring i'm.
mediate action after his two-houl
chat with the ambassador.
He announced the conversation
with Sir Ronald would be resumed
at an early date and that also he
would name publicly his secretary OF
state-believed to be Senator Cordell
Hull, Of Tennessee-and have him
confer with the ambassador.
The declination Of Senator Carter
Glass to accept the treasury port
folio brings a realignment of the
Roosevelt cabinet setup. It looks as
if the genial, gray-haired William H.
Woodin, president Of the American
Car and Foundry company, is the
man for this office. He was with
Roosevelt and Professor Raymond
Moley Monday.
A statement read by Roosevelt In
his second floor study was the only
news coming out Of the Lindsay con-
ference. It said, in part. "the British
ambassador has given to Mr.. Roose-
velt unofficially the views Of the
British government touching the
broader aspects Of the world econ
olnic and other situations"
Discuss Many Subjects
It was made plain, however, that
the British-American conversations
have proceeded far beyond the SUBJ
ject Of war debts which the English
have asked be reviewed.
Meanwhile, there also seems to be
some doubt as to just when the SUBJ
ject Of war debts will be taken up.
The world economic situation seems
to have superseded this subject. There
was q hint also that Ramsay Mac
Donald. the British prime minister,
was not expected over here very soon.
He was expected to take up the debts
problem with Roosevelt.
The President.elect Is now look

the field seems open. The Glass de-
