storm which prevailed last night, the

pie of the community to attend this
evening and see one of the best lit

BRITISH AND FRENCH
OPINIONS DIVIDED.

GENOA, May ID (By Assocfat-
Cd Press. AS I. result OF the meet
ing of the econom:, conferences
sub-commission on Russian affairs
today, the situation became so criti-
cal it seemed doubtful whether the
British and French positions could
be reconciled.
So gravely at variance are Rus
sia's communism and the order OF
things obtaining throughout the rest
Of Europe that a general immediate
agreement with Russia appears inn
probable This conviction is deeply
disappointing to those who expected
quick and big results at Genoa, but
the sentiment is tempered by the be-
lief that the creation of one or more
commissions to pursue study OF
Russian problems viii prove effica-
cious in finding means to recon-
struct Russia and bring her back into
the European family.
Furthermore, Premier Lloyd
George and the Italian leaders are
convinced that the signing of Eu-
ropean truce as preliminary to
general non-aggression pact will go
a long way towards tranquilizing Eu-
rope. Hopes Of eventually accomp-
fishing something genuinely construc-
tive for Russia were increased last
hight by announcement from the
French delegation that France favors
the appointment of commission for
investigation Of questions like cred
it's, debts and the treatment Of for
eign private property and approved
also a general truce, provided it is
understood that while the commits
sions are engaged in their labors, the
powers will not follow in the foot
steps of Germany and make separate
treaties with Russia.
The French resent accusations that
they tried to wreck the conference.
they assert that the present situa-
ton justifies their views that the
Russian problem has not been suffi-
GENTLY studied and that something
more should have been done to ap-
proXimate the views of the Russians
with the representatives of non
communist state before hoping to
reach general sweeping accord at
Genoa. In other words, they believe
that the Russian problem, through
investigation by a commission which
viii probably visit Russia, is being
attacked no win proper and logical
manner, and they therefore approve
the contemplated procedure.

HOPE FOR RUSSIAN AGREEMENT NOW ENDS
ALDERMEN SPEAK OUT FOR
CITY GOVERNMENT CHANGE
w. E. Taylor, c. H. Burke and R. E. Allison De-
clare Themselves Others To Be Asked
For Expressions

Three members of the city councli 1
of Americus who were interviewed
today expressed their approval of
changing the form Of city govern
ment to the commission-manager
form at this time. The other three
members of the council were not
seen. They and Mayor Sheppard
will be asked for expressions on the
proposal.
The three asked for expressions
today were Aldermen w. f. Taylor,
Chas. H. Burke and r. E. Allison.
The others not seen were j. w. Har-
ris, Jr., j. T. Warren and H. b.
Mashburn. Mr. Taylor and Mr..
Burke are enthusiastically for tho
change and informed the interviewer
he could make their statements of
approval as strong as he liked. Mr..
Allison has been non-committal on
the subject up to this time, but ex-
pressed himself as being ready now,
in the light of recent developments,
to give the change trial. Follow
ing are their expressions:
ALDERMAN w. +. TAYLOR
am in favor of the commission-man-
ager form of government for Ameri-
Gus. l have been for it all the while,
| am for it because strictly busl-
ness management is all in the world
that is going to get the city in good
financial condition again. | believe
that is impossible under the present
system. If there ever was a time
when we needed it that time is now.
| have found out more about the
city's business since the first of this
year than | was able to learn in my
previous years in the council, be-
cause ] was never able to learn facts

condition, and when a man does not
know the whole condition he is not
in a position. to act intelligently on

any question. The city now has a
big asset in Joe Tom Warren, who
is bringing the situation to l&ht."
ALDERMAN c. II. BURKE.-''W
ought to have the commission-man-
ager form in Americus; there is 10
question about it. We ought to have
a manager to buy the things we need
and to conduct the city's every day
affairs in a business-like way. There
are many good reasons for tho
change. In other cities where ! have
been which have this form | find that
it has worked out wonderfully; they
have been able to decrease their
debts, make improvements and in
many ways get along much better
than we. We need it to get our bond
ed Indebtedness taken care of as it
should be. At the beginning of every
year since / have been in council |
have asked for an audit like we have
just had, but have been told that we
didn't need it and so | didn't get 1t.
| was green an it took me a year at
least to get line on things. / have
had enough of office myself, but the
same thing may happen right over
again with another set of men in of
fee if we do not change the system
and get trained man at the head of
the city's business affairs"
ALDERMAN r.. E. ALLISON
"Ive been on the fence, but am
willing to try it. | don't believe you
are going to find much opposition in
the council The main thing, as /
understand it under the commission
manager system is to get good man,
and care will have to be used. This
is my first year on the finance COM
mittee, and | must say that | was
surprised by what we found when
we got into this matter. | had re-
lied on others whom | had consider
cd competent, and in whom ! had
faith, and have been disappointed. y
