: ENTANGLEMENTS IN
“WRITING OFF” WAR
DEBTS IS FEARED
(Continued \rora page One.)
, agreement on economies in which thc|
United States could share.
President -Hoover has been urging a
program of this sort ever since he
; has been in tbe White House. Now
is his last chance. The subject is «p
--i propriately before the country, with
! the present uproar over European
i debt repayments and defaults and Dr.:
I Klein has been one of Mr. Hoover's
j ablest spokesmen, dating baek to tne
> period of the Californian’s own in
j cumbency as head of the commerce
I department, and the doctor's, as his
! director of foreign and domestic bus
! incss activities.
I The plan has certain plausibilities.
On the opposite hand, it has the se
! rious objection hatt its adoption nec
essarily would involve international
negotiations, with the United States
as a participant and seldom in Am
erican history has Uncle Sam sat
i down at an international conference
| table without losing his eye teeth hc
| fore getting up from it.
It also comes with a doubtful grace j
from a president under whose ad !
| ministration the finishing touches
j were put to the destruction of the
; same foreign trade which it is now
j sought to rt vn i hy ihe proposed con
| cessions
To argue successfully that the Unit
ed States is otherwise than prominent
among those responsible for the world
\ wide economic jam is impossible.
The war ended with Ihe erstwhile
allied pow« rs in debt to the United
States, in gold to ai, ii mourn great
ly exceeding the total of all the gold
on earth. It was obvious that a set
tlement would have to ho effected hy
a swapping back and forth of credits
which called for the maintenance of
brisk buying and selling between the
intetestitt countries.
This was the juncture at which the
United States, it, 1t»22, clamped on the
Fordnoy-McCumbei tariff, with the
avowed intention of shutting out im
ports. following it up the Fordney-
McCumber schedule not proving quite
as airtight as was desired with the
Hawlcy-Smoot tariff, early in the
Hoover administration.
That turned the trick; imports
slumped like a plummet.
Europeans naturally resented it

Off to spend the brief remainder of 1932 on a fishing trip in Florida and

I from the White House.
and began adopting retaliatory tariffs
Another of Mr. Hoovers' ambitions
throughout his entire presidential
term, has been to induce the leading
world powers to join the United States
in an armament reduction agreement.
Pacifistically speaking. disarma
ment does not promise as much as
many good folk appear to think it
does.
Two countries, disposed to fight,
always could find weapons.
For example, lacking arnjorclads,
they could fight with merchants ships
Rut there is this difference —
Merchant vessels are useful ves
sels in peacetime, and armorclads,
ordinarily, are of no use whatever;
they a.v pure wast«, described in
economic terms. Nevertheless, if other
countries insist on having them.
Uncle Sam must have a fleet. If the
others would scrap theirs, he would
need none, and it would be an enor
mous saving.
These, notably, are two of the con
cessions in return for which certain
persons contend that perhaps it would
bo worth Uncle Sam's while to make
additional reductions in his claims
against Europe ~
1. Freer markets for his exportable
surpluses of many sorts
2. A treaty enabling him to econ
omize on warships.

members family are buried.
For more than a half-century the
Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire,
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
North Carolina, was one of the
South’s outstanding church leaders.
He built churches, founded Hos
pitals and schools and wrote—books,
monographs and occasional papers on
North Carolina history*: Secular and
religious.
He was head of his church in this
State for 39 years.
A biographer said of him. “his man
ner in repose is suggestive ot the
literary recluse and his manner in ac
tion is just as suggestive of a min
isterial David among the Goliaths of
worldliness and apathy.”
Bishop Cheshire was horn in Tar
boro on March 27. 1850. He was a son
son of the Rev. Joseph Blount
Cheshire. D. D„ who tor more than
50 years was rector of Calvary Epis
copal church at that place.
He received degrees of bachelor of
arts and master of arts from Trinity
College. Hartford. Conn., and In 1872
was admitted to the bar by the Su
preme Court of North Carolina He
practiced bnly a short time- one year
in Baltimore and five years at Tar
boro-before turning to the church.
Bishop Cheshire's rise in the church
was rapid. Within two years he had
been ordained to the priesthood and
a year later. 1881. became rector of
fcSt. Peter's Episcopal church in Char
lotte.
The young rector entered his work
at Charlotte with all the energy-he
possessed. A new church edifice was
erected; St. Michaels and All Angels
churches were organized and work
was begun on St. Martins and In an
adjoining community his missionary
work led to the organization of a
church.
He was active and influential in
the establishing of St. Peters hos
pital and the Good Samaratan hos
pital in Charlotte, the latter the first
in the State for Negroes.
With the late Rev. Edwin A. Os
borne, of Charlotte, Bishop Cheshire
established Thompson Orphanage in
that city, and it has grown into one
of the leading homes for orphan chil
dren in the State.
His rise to the head of his church
followed active membership in the
diocesan convention.
On October 15. 1893. he was conse
crated bishop coadjutor of the dio
cese. becoming bishop two months lat
ter "upon the reath of Bishop Lyman.
Upon his rise to the head cif the
church Bishop Cheshire moved to Ra
leigh.
An important feature of Bishop
Cheshire’s Episcopate was the found
ing In Raleigh of St. Mary’s school
by taking over a private enterprise In
1897.
Bishop Cheshire was twice married.
His first wife who died in 1897. was
Miss Annie Huske Webb of Hillsboro.
Six childien were born to this union.
His second wife was Elizabeth
LansdaJe Mitchell of Maryland. There
were no children by this marriage.
He was an active member es the
North Carolina Historical Society and
in 1931 served as its president.
