' HOLD, SAYS BURTON
MEMBER OF COMMISSION IS
AGAINST CANCELLATION AFTER
TOURING EUROPE?PEO-j
PLE DID NOT PLAN TO GIVE
MONEY AWAY HE SAYS.
Washington, Oct. 10.?A strong
declaration was made today by Representative
Thoadore E. Burton,
* Republican, Ohio, a member of the
Allied debts 'commission against
any cancellation of the. debts of
European nation to the United
States. His statement made unani
mous the opinion on the question of
all American delegates to the interparliamentary
conference at Vienna
a number of Senators who with
^Representative Burton) toured Europe
and conferred .with leading
statesmen and publicists having
previously declared that the Allied
debts should not be remitted. Representative
Burton conferred with
President Harding today and, after
campaigning Ohio will return here
for the meeting late this month of
the Allied debt commission with
Great Britain's representatives..
"There are many reasons why
the Allied debts should not be canI
M T? n-niroon+ofivo RnrfrtTl
V11CU) ? V. - ?
"First they are 'binding obligations,
. a national debt, and their cancellation
would throw doubt on national
credit which is an all important
part of all commercial and industrial
relations.
"Second these loans were not
made from an abounding revenue,
but were obtained from our people
with no small difficulty and '
with a great deal of sacrifice.
There, was no thought at the time that
they would not be repaid and
indeed the law under which our
people took our bonds provided for
their exchange in kind.
"Third the United States is sinecrely
interested in world peace,
If these debts were cancelled it
would lead to an expansion of the
military and navial establishments
of other countries and thereby
bring a threat of war and all the
waste it entirely.
"Forth proportionately the increase
in the debt of the United
States as a result of the war is
greater than that of the borrower
The increase in taxtation also' is
proportionately greater.
"Further while we recognize the
wonderful sacrifices made by the
Allies during the war their danger
was more imminent and we have
gained on territory and are not expecting
any large indemnities. The
general feeling abroad is that the6e
debts ought to be paid."

"The Bat" played last week in Atlanta
and has played this week in
Athens, Augusta, Savannah and tomorrow

The success of "The Bat" is undoubtedly
due to the fact that it appeals
to all classes of theatregoers.
It is thrilling and at the same time,
very funny. It will no doubt be
greeted here by a full house.

and the next three years should
witness tremendous expansion aong
this line, according to a statenont
issued today :by B. E. Geer,
resident of the Judson mills of
his city, following his return from
he New England states, Mr. Geer
>dded that the coming months
ioubtless will witness considerable
nvestment in new textile enterrises
in the south.
Almost every mill in this part of
he Piedmont section was reported
s running full time day and a
irge percentage of them are operting
at top speed night and day.
hat southern mills, and particular1
those of this region are firmly
ntrenched in the textile world is
videnced. It was said by the manor
which they gained their equilirium
after the post-war depression
st in and were soon again operatlg
at full speed.
Mr. Geer stated a shortage of
otton mill labor doee not now exist
ut that with due expansion or tne
idustry "this will be one of the
roblems to deal with." "However,
i the matter of labor, (textile
tills of the Carolinas have been exeedingly
fortunate in recent years,
was stated "both in quantity and
uaiity of labor."
The general view of textile leadrs,
according to the Judson mill
resident's statement is that the
reat spinning industry is gravitatig
southward, where the necesary
raw product is to be found and
hat it will find its choicest developlent
in the Piedmont belt of the
larolinas.
