A fragmented Roanoke Rapids Herald page comments on postwar policy, wage debates, immigration, tariffs, and road finance. It critiques Dempsey coverage, praises armament limits, and argues for selling road bonds in small denominations to involve average citizens and boost road funding. The piece cites the New York Times and Greensboro Daily News.
At a recent meeting the council of state authorized the state treasurer to sell eight million dollars worth of bonds to raise money for various construction projects. Bonds are ready for sale and North Carolinians are urged to purchase. A special effort targets the hundred dollar denomination to attract small investors.
President Harding wisely vetoed dramatic celebrations over Congress declaring the war with Germany ended. The nation understands the ceasefire is not peace, and true settlement requires negotiations with Germany. The Wing-tons and State Department emphasize a peace program, cooperating with new Allies, while troops may stay on the Rhine until France and England consent to withdrawal. A broader treaty and instrument of peace will define future relations and duties in the new world order.
The New York Times notes that Lodge and other plotters against the treaty fear a resubmission in amended form could trigger renewed opposition. Wash ington information suggests renewed war talk by irreconcilables, but widespread popular disapproval looms against further opposition to a peace deemed satisfactory and lasting.
