FRANCE FAILS
TO SOLVE WAR

Intensive Search for the

United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 10. (UP)-Gen-
eral Bernard Serrigny, president
Of the syndical chamber. Of the
petrol industry, speaking on the
gasoline requirements Of the
French army in wartime, pointed
out that strategically, France is
badly placed as far as gasoline
imports are concerned and dcclar-
cd that the measures taken by
authorities to insure extensive re-
serves are very far from having
dispellcd fear Of liquid fuel short
age should war occur.
Immediately after the World
war, French engineers undertooE
a series of behring's throughout
France, but only in inc instance
did they strike oil and that was
in a spot near Pechelbronn, a
few miles from Strasbourg on the
German frontier. Simultaneously
behring's were carried out in Mad
agascar, Central Africa and in
Morocco, but still with no result
A huge sum has been spent IN
these vain enterprises. However,
searches still continue ann today

LAMONT SAYS
j. 5. CAPITAL
LOCKED OUT
Flaws New Deals 5-Year
Campaign Against
Business"

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Is
CUP)-ThOmas w. Lamont, part
ner in J. P. Morgan and company,
said yesterday that the admins
tration by it's five-year campaign
against business" has conducted
a clock out" against United
States capital.
Instead of "strike" by cap
tai, Lamont asserted, obstacles
which he said were placed IN the
path of business during the past
five years have resulted IN be
wildcrmcnt and loss Of cont
dence among our citizens.
''In a great country like Amer
lea" the Morgan partner SAID,
'if enterprise is to continue TO
advance. fresh capital must be
made available for it. Now the
capital markets, the fields OF prl-
vate investment, are practically
closed.
"That does not mean that there
is a strike of capital. There -
Just as little reason in such u
phrase today as there would be
to say that 10000 employees who
had lost their jobs because OF
slack orders had gone on strike.
"NO. Would it not be nearer
the mark to say not that capital
was on strike, but that it had been
locked out by such things as the
surplus profits tax which has CIV
en- warning to investors that no
longer are businesses to be permit
ted 70 conserve a fair measure OF
their earnings for bad times;
locked out by the continued I'M
settlement of the problems OF the
public utilities. -
THE entire business commun-
ity," he said, "haS made the most
strenuous and determined efforts
TO maintain the improvement that
marked 1886 and 1887. But the
obstacles in the path have been
too great.
Lamont spoke at a luncheon
celebrating the University OF
Pennsylvania bicentennial cam
paign which already has drawn
S2,5337,60 for improvement and
expansion at the school.
He deplored the rise of pana-
cea-mongers since the depression
and asserted that the need today
was for youth disciplined and
trained in the scientific meth
3D."
Replying to new deal spokes-
men who have attacked certain
big business practices and monop-
DIV, Lamont said the "agltator
has little interest in the facts.
He is not interested IN the
orderly processes Of long and pa
tient investigation that normally
precede the enactment of sound
law. Business and finance
have been subjected to violent at
tack for alleged abuses, many OF
which never existed"

LaMont said it was "unfortu-

LaMont expressed belief that

This represents about 1,o9o'ooo

However, the question OF trhh9-

above 100000 tons.
IF during wartime the COM
r,nn;cations in the Mediterranean
were cut, France would see It's
Iraoian. Rumanian and Persian
SUPPLIES eliminated and would DC
forced to rely on United States,
Mexican, Venezuelan and Colon
bian sources.
For this reason the French gov
ornment has made every effort to
increase its fleet Of tankerS. A
system of bonuses was instituted
for every tanker built, and since
1925-26 more than $8,0OO,OOO has
hcen distributed to different COM
nonies France now has a tanker
fleet of 100000 tons, which III
normal circumstances could meet
Frances requirements.
MORE TANKERS UNLIKELY
But to use Serrigny's words !:
THE difficulties which French
shipbuilding is undergoing, and in
such a poor posltion-for many
reasons-to compete with foreign
builders as we are, there is little
hone of seeing an increase in the
future of our tanker fleet ton
mage"
In a further attempt to offset
this adverse situation, France, as
well as all other European ma
tons, has constituted huge re-
serves. In 1925 importers were
forced to set aside amounts to-
falling one-fourth of the annual
French consumption. That later
was fixed at one-third, and this
year it goes up to 40 per cent Of
the annual consumption. Forty
per cent equals five months Of
normal consumption, but in wal
time would hardly be sufficient
for three months.
Various experiments with syn
thetic fuels have been tried out
recently, but up till now it has
been shown that the cost of pro-
duction on a commercial basis
would be prohibitive. Further
more, in time of hostilitieS,
Frances coal supplies would not
be sufficient to fill requirements
in this manner.
France therefore remains de-
pendent on importations, or in
Scrrigny's words: ave must. con-
tinuc our good relations with pro-
ducing nations and further pre-
serve the freedom of our mari
time communications"

Hoey granted a complete pardon to-
day to James Morrison, Negro who
gave his home address as Fayette-
vile, who entered prison September
10 from Robson county to serve two
years for robbery which has now
been confessed by two other men.
Hoey acted Immediately upon re-
ceipt yesterday of a letter from Soil
citor T. A. Mcneil and C. B. Skipper,
clerk of Robson Superior Court, say
ing that Judge G.. V. Cowper had in
structed them to write asking for a
pardon for Morrison
Eat the last term of the superior
court of this county, which was last
week." the letter said, "it was discov-
cred by the county officers that the
defendant Morrison was innocent of
the crime with which he was charged
and that two other men were the
guilty persons. These two men were
tried last week and convicted of the
crime, both confessing that Morrison
had nothing to do with the crime, and
that they were not even acquainted
with Morrison" ~

Cromer, Norfolk, England, Nov. 2.
Spanish warsbip attacked
Spanish freighter off Norfolk to-
day, bringing the Spanish civil war
within sight and sound of the Nor
folk coast. The identity of the ship
and the outcome of the bombardment
was shrouded in the mists of the
North Sea. Reports from fishing
trawlcrs and other ships differed on
whether the warship, apparently an
armed trawler, flew the insurgent or
Spanish government flag.
The freighter's name was reported
as the Carthagena, but no such ship
was registered with Lloyd's.
The Cromer life boats put out to
pick up possible survivors from. the
freighter, which apparently defied q

The declaration was issued in COM

indicate Japan expected Chinas role
in the future of Asia to be similar to
that of Manchoukuo, formed out of
ChinatS Manchurian provinces con-
quered by the Japanese army between
1881 and 1888. (Although Japan for
mally maintains that Manchoukuo is
an Independent empire, that country
actually is Japanese protectorate

State Ahead
In Control Of
Forest Fires
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter HOteI.

Raleigh, Nov. Following closely
on heels of forest fire which menac-
ed Blowing Rock, comes announce
ment from the Department of Con-
servation and Development that last
year North Carolina led all the south
eastern and Gulf states in the mat
ter of forest fire reduction.
The State had the smallest acreage
of forest fires of any of these states
except Virginia and West Virginia
according to figures just compiled by
the u. S. Forest Service, Assistant
State Forester w. G. Mccormick
pointed out.
This record is considered even more
remarkable when it is considered that
North Carolina has 1860 900 acres OF
forest lands under organized State
protection at a cost of only three
tenths cents per acre. Other states
with the exception of Alabama ano
Mississippi, have been spending much
more than this, Mccormick said
North Carolina has about twice as
many acres of forest lands under fire
protection as Texas and Oklahoma
which have 100000 and 7,2O6,00I
acres, respectively.
Only 1S1 900 acres of forest lands
were burned over by forest fires ir
North Carolina during 1887, accord
ing to the Forest Service figures. On
the other hand, Georgia, with only
4,251, 900 acres under protection had
3,2SO,91O acres burned over despite ar
expenditure of nine-tenths cent pei
acre for protection. Florida had thu
largest acreage burned over, with z
$50, 100 acres, with only 2,2S0,OO0 acres
under protection and with, an expen
diture of Al cents per acre.
ssThe figures just compiled by tn
Forest Service show that while Norts
Carolina has more acres OF fores
lands under protection than any Q
the ten southeastern and Gull states
