MUST AGREE WITH HARD
ING THAT CHINA’S VOICE
SHOULD BE HEARD.
TyE inclusion of China in Presi
dent Harding’s inviations to the
disarmament conference is an indica
tion of how important a pact the
discusison of Pacific and Far East
ern question is to play in the nego
tiations.
the least militaristic nations,
China has but an academic interest
in the question of diarmament.
But she has a vital interest in any
decisions that are taken which di
rectly or indirectly affect the future
policies, of America, Greai Britain
an d Japan in the Pacific.
It would be folly to attempt to ar
rive at these decisions without giv
ing China a chance to state her case.
That President Hrading has not
committeed this folly in one of the
good auguries for the success of the
great venture he has undertaken.

The necessity of dealing with our

Harding In Letter Opposes Tariff On Oil
Meet Baron Byng O’ the Tanks!
He’s Coming to Govern Canada
BY MILTON BRONNER
LONDON, July 18.—Baron Byng
o’-the Tanks sails for America
August 3.
The immortal hero of Vimy Ridge
—the British gen
eral who for the
first time in his
tory unleashed aj
fleet of batt bl
tanks at Cambrail
and routed a su-l
perior force of’
awe-struck G e r -3
mans comes to'
Canada to assume
his new duties as
governor general
for five years.
1 asked him to
talk to me about
himself, his plans,
his hopes and aspi
rations—always a
hard thing for a
man who has done!
big things to con-1
sent to do. "
Picture him
59 years old, straight as a line, al
most six feet, with dark brown hair,
scarcely showing any pray; a dark
brown mustache, and friendly smil
ing blue eyes. All the time he talks
he puffs at a little briar pipe which
has gone through many a battle with
him.
“1 expect to be sworn in at Que
bec August 10 and to be in Ottawa
on August 11,” he says. “I have
never held a diplomatic position be
fore. 1 am not a diplomat, but I
think my good friends, the Can
adians, will pull me out of holes as
•they nave done before.”
“Canada's a Democratic country
like the United States,” 1 ventured.
“They will take to you because you
are Democratic.”
“Oh, everybody has to be Demo
cratic these days. Did you ever hear
of the world post-war-dom? That is
the condition of all the civilized
world. It means that since the war
the world is more Democratic, peo
ple are Democratic, institutions are
Democratic. It’s an age of more
simplicity. It’s also an age of more
criticism. “People take a man only
for what he is not for what he was
born, nor for what he imagines him
self to be.
WHIPPED PASTOR
STILL IN MIAMI
Found At Office In His
Negro Church, De
spite Order
MIAMI, Fla., July 18.—Rev. Philip
S. Irwin, white, who is a British
subject, and pastor of an Episcopal
church in the negro quarter of this
city, was found in the office of his
church today ■attending to his du
ties, though suffering from injuries
sustained last night when eight un
identified masked men took him to
the woods, stripped and whipped him
and applied tar and feathers.
The police say Irwin refused to
answer to direct questioning whether
he had advocated race equality.
Certain doctrines of uplift to the
negroes delivered by Archdeacon Ir
winfi objectionable to white resi
dents, are said to have been the rea
son for the deed.
Before being tarred and feathered
Irwin was carried into some woods
near Miami, where he was stripped,
tied to a tree and whipped. The group
of masked men outlined their pro
gram to him before it was executed
and then gave him forty-eight hours
within which to' leave Miami.
Southern Woods Good
For Paper Manufacture
MADISON, Wis., July 18.—Estab
lishment of paper mills in the south
ern states is all that is needed to util
ize much southern pine for the man
ufacture of book paper, the Forest
Products Laboratory here announces.
Its experiments (.are said to hare
determined that pulp made from one
variety of pine is suitable for this
purpose.
Southern pine has ofter been sug-,
gested as a possible supply of mater
ial for pulp purposes, but experiments (
met with failure until the local labor
atory, working with loMlolly pine, |
successfully turned out book paper
by the sulphate process.
Further experiments will be made
here with other varieties of southerh
pine to determine whether they will
be equally adaptable to the manufac
ture of pulp. I
What Work has been done with
other woods from the squth—-black
1 and tupelo gum, swamp maple and
other Simialr material—shows that
they 'are all substantially as well
suited for the purpose as the lob
lolly pine anl the red gum, the en
gineers say.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Mathis left
Sunday morning by autom'obile for
Atlanta and other North .Georgia
points, where Mrs. Mathis will visit
relatives and friends for several
weeks. • .
“The thing I am proud of about
this appointment to Canada is that
the Canadians themselves wanted me.
They asked for me. And if anybody
knows me, it’s the Canadians. They
were a real fighting lot.
“When the king conferred the
peerage upon me, 1 said I wanted to
be called Baron Byng of Vimy in
commemoration of the great battle of
Vimy Ridge the Canadian troops
fought. But 1 didn’t want to take
that Title unless the Canadians were
satisfied 1 should. So I sent word'
to them and got .a very satisfactory
answer.”
I asked him whether he was go
ing to visit us while he was governor
general.
“I can’t,” he replied. “It’s an un
written rule that the governor gen
eral does not leave Canada. His wife
can, his staff can, but not he.
' “Still, I can go down and look at
the most wonderful frontier in the
world—the Canada-United States
border which has never had its par
allel. Three thousand miles with not
a soldier, nor a fort, nor a gun on
either side, but everywhere the signs
of amity and peace. That's a won
derful object lession for the world.”
Julian Byng joined the army in
1883, saw service in the Sudan and
in the Boer war, becoming a colonel.
At the outbreak of the big war he
was m command of .he British troops
in Egypt. He fougDt in France and
Gallipoli. Returning to France as a
lieutenant general, he had command
of the 17th corp# and in May, 1916,
was given command of the Canadian
corps with which his name is chief
ly associated. With them he won
the great surprise battle of Cambrai
witn the tanks. He was made a full
general and in the final campaign of
1918 his army held the lin§ north
of the Somme and won some crushing
victories against the Germans.
The government made him a peer,
gave him the thanks of parliament
and a grant of 30,300 pounds. In
August, 1919, he rsigned from the
,army to become chairman of the
United Service Fund, formed to ad
minister the proceeds from profits
made by army and navy canteens.

Americus Man Made U.
S- Vice Counsul Os
Ancient Citv
News has been received bere by
Capt. and Mrs. John A. Cobb of the
appointment of their son, George
Calhoun Cobb, to the post of U. S.
vice consul at Jerusalem, Palestine.
Mr. Cobb will sail for New York on
Wednesday of this week for Mar
seilles, from which point he will pro
ceed by steamer through the Medi
terranean seat to Beirut, going by
rail from that port to Jerusalem.
The new appoinment, besides be
ing highly desirable, is regarded as
a distinctly comlpimentary promo
tion. It will be desirable because
of the fact that, besides being in a
land teeming in historical interest, it
is in the heart of a new activity, and
has a large British colony, being un
der British military rule at the pres
ent. It is a city of 40,000 people and
is taking on decidely modern fea
tures as a result of the British oc
cupation and also the Zionist move
ment, which is bringing in notable
Jews and Jewish money for redeem
ing Palestine for the Jews from all
over the world. It is only a few
hours’ ride by rail from Egypt and ,
other places of high interest to the
student of history and travel and it
is visited by large number of Ameri
can tourists annually.
Mr. Cobb joined the consular serv
ice only a little over two years ago
and no tlong ago returned from the
Portuguese Azores islands, which was
his first post as vice consul. Recent
ly he stood an examination in Wash
ington for promotion, and received
I the present appointment before the
result of this examination was an
.l nounced.

W. & A. Funding Plan
Drawn By Secretary
Os JState
Times-Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 18.—Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick will have one
of his floorleaders in the house Tues
day or Wednesday to introduce a
measure designed to put in effect
the McLendon Western and Atlantic
funding plan, Secretary of State S.
Guyton McLendon having completed
drafting the bill and placing it in the
Ijands of the chief executive this
morning.
For the past few months, the
scheme of Secretary McLendon has
been regarded as the best method of
securing immediate relief of the
state’s serious financial condition.
Several bills proposing to put the
plan in effect have already been in
troduced in the house, but they are
said to be replete with flaws and un
satisfactory to the governor and the
way and means sub-committee of the
lower branch.
“If my measure is enacted within
the next ten days,” stated Mr. Mc-
Lendon this mornjng, “Confederate
veterans will be paid their back pen
sions by August 1, the immediate
problems of the treasury will be solv
ed.
“I have suggested to the governor
that he have the measure introduced
at once, or have the sub-committee
offer it as a substitute to one of the
measures already presented. If
quick action is shown by the leaders,
the bill can be enacted at the Satur
day session of the senater after pass
ing the house earlier in the week.
“Several days ago the governor
asked me if I had drafted a measure
to put my suggestion in effect. He
had just held a conference with mem
bers of the ways and means com
mittee. 1 told him. that 1 had not, as
I had not considered it proper on my
part to be so forward in attempting
toz have my plan enacted. Since the
request was made, howeverbill
has been completed and I gave it to
the chief executive this morning.”
To date, no opposition, to the pass
age of the McLendon measure has
been voiced in the house. Practical
ly all of the leaders are united in the
expression that it is the best method
of solving the problems of the tredß
ury and will urge its adoption.
General James A .Thomas,
lin, commander of the Ihrffed Con
fdfel’Si.e "Veterans of, Georgia, has
'indorsed if, arid believes that if the
assembly passes it, the old soldiers
will be given relief within thirty days
after it becomes a law.

Major James Fort, state prohibi
tion officer with headquarters in At

mander of the American Legion,

FIGHT TO BLOCK

IS DUE TUESDAY
Republicans Seek Import
Charge When None
Is Imported •
KASHINGTON, July 18—(By As
sociated Press) —The house today re
sumed consideration of the proposed
oil tax in the Fordney tariff bill,
and fixed a limit of three and a half
hours for debate. The discussion
centered around the Treadway
amendment, introduced Saturday,
which would transfer crude and fuel
oils from the dutiable to the free
list.
The test of President Harding’s
letter to Chairman Fordney oppos
ing the imposition of a duty on crude
petroleum and fuel oil and suggest
ing a barga.ning provision “to guard
against the levy of duties against
us,” was presented in the house to
day by Fordney. The text differed
materially from the recently publish
ed versions of the communication
and, replying to questions, Fordney
said there was another letter Irom
the president which he did not pro
pose to read.
Under the special rule governing '
consideration of the tariff a
final vote is due late Thursday,
Democratic members of the house
from cotton growing states announc
ed afterinformal conferences that al
most a solid party vote would be cast
against the Republican amendment
to the Fordney tans fbill providing
a duty of ten per cent advalorem. on
raw cotton.
Outlining the position of the mi
nority, Representative Garrett, of-
Tennessee, acting Democratic! eader,
declared the “iniquity” of the pro
posal "was glaringly apparent” in
view of the statement of Representa
tive Green, of lowa, ranking Repub
lican member of the ways and means
committee, that it would not increase
the price paid the fanner fbr his
products. Mr. Garrett added that
"the only exeyse for the tax was to
enable Republican sto increase the
duty on cotton goods.”
“Amidst :,u many jokers in the
Fordney bill,” said Mr. Garrett, in a
statement, “it is well nigh impossi
ble to say which is the superlative
one, but certainly the proposition—
When nine is imported, and the treas
ury can derive no duty thereby—is
at least as great as any.
“To bring it immediately home to
the cotton farmer, a duty on raw cot
ton will give nothing of increase ih
price, but it will be made the excuse
lor raising the duty and therefore
the price upon everything made of
cotton which he hag to buy.”
In framing the tariff bill the ways
and means committee kapt raw cot
ton on the free list—where it was
in the old Payne-Aldrich bill. When
the Republican causus took the bill
in ihamT, however a fight led by
Southern Republicans was made to
tax cotton, some oL the advocates of
this move asserting it would help
break the “solid South.” >.
The cotton tax amendment, under
the special rule by which the bill is
being considered in the House, will
be taken up for a vote Tuesday. Re

will be another vote on the prbjtojfcir
