AtIanta.--Georgia started the year
OF 1919 with balance Of 1913, 1896 to
its credit; according to the report for
the fourth quarter 1918, made by
Comptroller General Wright TO Gov
ernor Dorsey. This balance is con-
sidered by officials at the capital as
an average, and for war times is con-
sldered above the balance expected.
Georgia had balance Of $1.459,33119
on January /, 1918. The fourth quar-
terly report of comptroller General
Wright shows that the state had a
balance OF $S47, 249.19 at the beginning
Of the quarter. The state received
through the office Of Comptroller Gen
eral Wright for that period from diff
ferent forms of taxation $2,453, 099.44,

s1,25o, ooo, 600 LOSS ON
EAT FOR THE
U. S. GOVERNMENT

Washington dealers appear
ing before the house agriculture COM
mittee proposed that the government
pay the guaranteed price of 1926 a
bushel for the 1919 wheat crop and
sell it to the consumer at the world
market price, which they estimated
would be about SIPS. The witnesses
generally believed this plan would cost
the government probably billion and
a quarter dollars, but said this loss
was preferable to any attempt on the
part of the government to maintain an
artificial price.
Representative Lever of South Car
DINA suggested three other plans
that the wheat movement be entirely
on the pre-war basis; that the move
ment possibly be restricted by the gov
eminent being authorized to sell or
buy so as to prevent manipulation, and
that the domestic movement be entire
ly on the pre-war basis with the ex-
port movement under federal control.

POWERS URGING THIS COUNTRY
TO ACT AS MANDATORY FOR
ARMENIA AND TURKEY
U. S. DELEGATES UNDECIDED
U. s. Delegates Feel That Sentiment
Should Develop Before Giving
Any Answer

Paris.-No answer has been return
ed nv the American delegates to the
neace conference to what is said to be
an almost unanimous desire of the
other powers that the United States
undertake to act as mandatory for Ar
menia and the other severed prov
inces of Turkey. Such of the Ameri-
can delegates as will discuss the sit
nation say they are disposed to resist
this development of the plan for man
da;ories, holding that it is the business
of Europe to look after the Europeans
and the people of the Near East.
The argument used by the other
powers in support of their desire that
the United States assume some of the
obligations to care for the welfare of
backward peoples affected by the
ueace settlement and assist in their
advancement to a higher state of civil
lization is based upon the unlimited
confidence of other governments and
because it is known that the United
States has no territorial aspirations.
Furthermore, it is urged that the con-
fidence of the Armenians and the 9TH
er peoples of the provinces affected,
through the long exerted influence of
Robert College at Constantinople, is a
strong reason for the participation OF
America as the mandatory power.
The American delegates feel they
should await as to what duties may
devolve upon the United States in con-
nection with it's interest in the vel
fare of dependent peoples.
It seems to be the view in Ameri-
can circles that the powers granted
the mandatory nations will have a con-
siderable influence in shaping the at
titude of the American delegation on
this question. If the mandatory is
limited to the employment of native
constabulary to enforce its mandates,
there might, it appears, be less objec-
ton to accepting such a responsible
ity than if it were contemplated that
the manufactures use military forces of
their own, this latter idea being obnox'
ious to the Americans.
