LloydGeorgeSays Payments on War Debts Must Stop Calls On British Government To Warn Uncle Sam To This Effect London, Dec. Lloyd George, war-time prime minister of Great Britain, called upon the national government today to tell the United States war debt payments must cease. Climaxing a day of debate in the house of commons, in which leaders confined themselves mainly to academic discussions of the debt question, Lloyd George delivered a stirring appeal for Britain to "remove the stranglehold of these debts." He was roundly applauded as he charged that the United States has repudiated Woodrow Wi 1 's signature to the Versailles treaty. "If the United States stood by Its signature," he declared, "the whole story would have been different. In 1920 I begged Wilson to participate in wiping out the whole burdens of reparations.

The fight I put up in 1920 is the fight I am glad to be here to continue." The 69-year old firebrand of British politics spoke with a small box before him, declaring that it contained actual transcripts from war debt discussion in the cabinet of 1921-22, when he "was prime minister. "I am willing," he said, "that they should be published." Winston Churchill former chancellor of the exchequer, attacked the government's methods in dealing with war debts and reparations during the debate, although admitting himself in close agreement with the cabinet's purposes. He bitterly denounced the Lausanne reparations accord.

ON WAR JOT DEFAULT Knutson Bill Would Forbid All Trading In French Bonds Washington, Dec. reprisals against France and Belgium for defaulting their current war debts to America were proposed twice in congress today. Angered at the action of the two powers, Representative Knutson, Republican of Minnesota, introduced a bill barring the sale in America of government securities of any country that defaults its wa debts. The bill would prevent even the advertisement of such bonds or their transportation through the mails. The irritation felt by congressional leaders burst in the house late in the day when Representative Schafer proposed an amendment to the treasury postofflce supply bill to prevent the payment of funds to France on mail service.

The amendment was tuled out of "order. The debt situation today is: Assured war debt payments tonight totaled more than $98,000,000 of the $125,000,000 due tomorrow. Great Britain, Italy, Czecho-SIovakia, Latvia and Lithuania will pay. France and Belgium will default. Poland may default on her interest payment.

Lauds Commercial Education in Address to High School Students In a brief address before the students of the Statesville high school at chapel exercises Wednesday morning, Mr. J.

The chapel program was in charge of Miss White, head of the comercial department of the school, and Mr. Leonard's remarks Were devoted largely to a discussion of the advantage of a commercial education. Mr. Leonard also dwelt on the value of a well-balanced education covering essential subjects, "coupled with the great asset of a good character, if you are to be successful in meeting the keen competition offered by the millions of other young people who daily are entering the great arena of "human activities to battle for those things we all so rnuQh desire to earn for ourselves by our own men tal ability and physical skill." Mr. Leonard's address was well received and contained wholesome and helpful advice that tho young men and young women of his audience may appropriate to themselves with profit.

The national organization has notified the local chapter that cotton sweaters are available for those whom the charity organizations deem in need of them.

Hoffmann hope that at least one hundred more names will be added. When it is remembered that the Red Cross has already done much for the county, and that the items listed above will add another contribution of around $5,000 to the destitute of the county, our enrollment of less than the 1,250 quota set for the county, is short of the proper gratitude.

The program, carved out in conferences between the leaders in a downtown hotel room, was laid before the house agricultural committee by Frederick Lee, representing tho American Farm Bureau federation, the National Grange and the farmers Educational and cooperative union. He explained its salient features embodying the principal points of the much publicized domestic allotment plan for restricting acreage through payment of "bounties" The farm leaders, Lee said, believe this program" will restore to agricultural parity of prices with indurim? periods of potential overproduction of cotton, hogs, wheat and tobacco by "bounties" to farmers for crop reductions. The "bounties" would come through a tax on processors and wholesalers.

Lee said the plan would work on a sliding scale so when prices on agricultural products had been reached, enforcement of the plan would be automatically suspended.

Pressly as the speaker for the occasion. Dr. Pressly, who has been pastoring a flock of mighty good people here for almost half a century, did not preach a sermon nor deliver a lecture.

He spent a most enjoyable twenty minutes in drawing a word picture of Statesville as he saw the town forty years ago. He reminded the Rotarians that they were enjoying their splendid luncheon at about the very spot where the old Anderson barn used to stand. The town's population at that time was given at 1,822 but prompted by the Biblical command to increase their fruits, the then residents, aided by those who had heeded the lure of the slogan "the best town in North Carolina," had increased that population to around 15,000. At that time there were only ten electric street lights in the town, clustered around the square. Every morning they were lowered to remove the carbon, for which the kids scrambled, and pulled up again to guide faltering stops across the cobble stones placed in the mire at the square.

We obtained our water from the wells back of tho house, and we bathed sparingly.
