Sir Walter IIoir!
| RALEIGH, March 30.-With a
special representative of Director
Harry L. Hopkins of the emerg-
ency relief administration here
studying the records and figures
| with regard to the operation of
the public schools Of the state,
following the conference with
! Alan tombstone, regional relief
administrator here, DR.. A. T. AL
len, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, is still hopeful
that North Carolina may be able
to get some relief funds for use
IN the pubic schools. A total of
$5O,O00,000 has been set aside by
the emergency relief administra-
ton to assist public schools
throughout the nation. The visit
of Regional Director tombstone
and DR.. Dawson. who is to re-
main here several days, is to de-
termine whether or not North
Carolina really needs any of this
federal aid and whether it can
qualify.
Three rules have been set up
by Director Hopkins with regard
to the distribution of this $780,
100000 to the various states. In
order to get any Of this money
the states arc asking for it must
show:
First, That schools in the state
have closed or are about to close.
Second, That there are needy
and unemployed teachers.
Third, That an effort has been
made in the various localities to
keep the schools open by ad va
loren taxation.
These three conditions are max
ing it difficult for North Caro-
lima to qualify for any Of this
money, DR.. Allen pointed out,
since no schools have closed in
the state or are about to close,
since none of the schools are sup
ported by ad valorem taxation
and since most Of the needy I'M
employed teachers are already
being given work through the
emergency relief administration,
DR.. Allen pointed out, how
ever, that this state has continu-
ed the operation of its schools q
great sacrifice and hardship both
to the public and the teachers.
He maintains that the schools
here need help just as much as
in other states and that this state
should not be penalized for doing
what other states have failed to
do.
No decision from Washington
is expected for several weeks.

cere: he wants to escape prison and
death. That seems obvious until one
takes the japanese character into con-
sideration. No people on earth court
death as do the japanese. 1t takes
only a moderate amount of righteous
indignation to cause Japanese Zealot
to plunge a sword into his abdomen.
Young men displeased with the Lon
don naval treaty kill themselves at
the doors Of the statesmen who nego-
tiated it. Hara-kiri is known through
out the world, along with the cherry
blossom, as characteristic of Japan.
Last year there were 83l suicides in
Mihara Volcano alone The code Of a
Japanese soldier is death rather than
surrender.
No, Japanese do not lack the cour-
age to die. Nor are they easily shaken
from a purpose-witness their tenacity
in the Manchurian adventure. Let a
true japanese get his teeth locked on
the bit of a conviction and he will
hold it through hell and high water.
Then why do they not old TO Com
munism? Because Communism in
Japan is a conceit, not conviction.
Doubtless there are some insincere
recanters. But in most cases the re-
canting is probably genuine-it was
the Communism that was insincere.
Communism Among Students.
Communism in most countries has
grown up out of poverty and need,
There is plenty of that in Japan, but
Communism did not grow out of it.

Frances Bid for More Colonial Trade
Is Part of Plan to Increase Military

PARIS @.-France's dream of a
mighty close-knit empire of 100 ,Oo0.-
600 souls will be pushed at a great
colonial conference which Pierre
Laval, minister of colonies, will hold
in November.
Back of the desire to tap new
sources Of wealth which will add to
Frances economic strength lies the
ever-present wish to build a huge
military reservoir.
Essentially. however, the conference
will be economic. In July. 1882.
Frances foreign commerce amounted
to 5,000,000,0 900 francs: in July, 1888,
1t had fallen to 4.500, 900 900, while
for July of this year it was down to
5000, 100000.
In the face Of such a disastrous
drop, France for the past year and a
half has been seeking to bring the
colonies into closer trade relations.
The United States has a big stake
in the conference. for its exports to
France in 1888 amounted to 1885,

France Strengthening
Defenses on Channel

PARIS P).-France is strengthen
ing her English Channel defenses.
Two battleships have been added to
the Channel fleet. the military port of
Cherbourg is to be enlarged and
modernized and submarine repair
base is to be constructed at Calais.
In addition, unifications of command
have been made.
Ofhcials frankly admit that Ger
many's enlarging navy. which is to
have four new 10,000-ton men-of-war
known as pocket battleships," has
caused them to increase coastal de-
fenSe.
The Bretagne and the Provence. two
22,189-ton ships, have been overhauled
and put under command Of the Sec
ond squadron at Brest, which patrols
the Channel. 1t is this squadron
which would bear the brunt of at
tack from the north.
After the military port Is recon-
structed, Cherbourg will become one
of the most important military-com
mercial ports in France
Eighty million francs are being
spent on new coastal defenSes alone.
