That Local Commission Bill.

There has been considerable rumor
of late about a bill 10 be introduced in
the coming session of the legislature
in the interest of a commission form
Of government. but legislating the
present city council out of office on
January first next. The News is OPP
posed to and will fight such bill to
finish We are in favor of com
mission government. but it must be
a COMMISSION government of the peo-
pie and by the people. 1t must not
be commission government born in
a law office and designed against any
man or any set of men. It must be
a commission government approved
by the sovereign people of this city
and selected by the voters of this city
at the proper place-the polls! We
have not seen this bill, but we are
advised that it also provides that the
first set of commissioners be named
by the governor Of Georgia or are
named in the bill This is undemo-
cratic, strikes "a blow at the great
American principle of home rule and
such measures are generally tainted
with politics If there are people in
Brunswick who imagine they are go
ing TO use The News for political pur-
poses because this newspaper believes
in commission form Of government
and is committed to that idea. then
they are wrong and have another
thought coming.
We have always said we favor the
new system of municipal government,
now being adopted all over the coun-
try but VIC would not be a party to
legislating those in power out of office
or of delegating the power of the peo-
pie OF this city to name their own
city officials, TO the governor of Geor-
gia to the Georgia legislature or to
any other authority other than the
people of this city!

The Smallest BelIigerent.

Germany and Austria are now at
war with nine nations. The latest re-
| cruit to the ranks of the allies is the
republic of San Marine For the ben
eft Of those who have never heard
of this country, it may be explained
that San Marine is situated on a hill
near Aimini, and is entirely surround
ed by Italian territory. Its area is
about 30 square miles.
Austria has shown no signs of
alarm over San Marines declaration
of war. Whatever forces might be
mustered from its population of H.
900 would hardly cut much figure
among the 100000 or so of troops
arrayed against the Teutons. And the
Austrians are hardly likely to invade
San Marine. The only feasible way
Of reaching it is by air That, how
ever, is precisely what San Marine
was afraid of. 1t declared war so that
Austrian aviators couldn't land there,
taking advantage Of neutral soil, in
their operations against Italy.

No Real Profits in War.

The European belligerents, especial
ly the two that are interfering most
with our commerce, are convinced
that we are getting rich out of the
war. and that conviction has good
deal to do with their petulant treat
ment of our trade protests.
If we are getting rich, it isn't mere.
~ because we're profiting. even unin-
tontionally, from the misfortunes of
the warning powers. Most American
economists agree that we should have
been in better business condition
than we are if there had been no
war. That view is supported by the
fact that every hint of peace sends
up the prices of American securities
in the stock market, and every event
that seems to poitend a prolongation
of the struggle has a "bearish' influ.
encc.
Foreign trade figures sweep away
any misconception as to the share that
war orders have had in reviving Amer
lean business. According to the state.
ment of the federal department of
commerce, our total exports of manu-.
featured articles for the war period so
far are less than for similar periods
in peaceful years. The net increase
in our exports has been due solely TO
the marketing of our big wheat sur.
plus. The war helped TO make that
market, to be sure, and yet that ad.
vantage was counteractcd by the
gripping effect OF the war on the cot
ton industry Our enormous favorable
balance of trade has been due more
than anything else to the fact that
we were unable to obtain our usual
quantities of imports, and that lack in
itself has seriously hampered many of
cur industries.
II may fairly be said that our bust.
ness recovery thus far has been less
On account of thew ar than in spite

with the need of replenishing manu-,

and government, all seemed To create

development such as no merely politi
