only professional politicians there were Briand. who, despite his elo- quence and craft. failed to help his country, and Balfour, who perhaps would not have had so much success had the conference subjects not been so new 10 him who had spent most of his fife occupied with home politics.
 H mess Men Should Meet
 Manufacturers, farmers. tradesmen and bankers from the great and small lands should meet somewhere without reference to victory or vanquished, guilt, punishment, treaties and na- tional prejudices. and take counsel of the most practical business methods to restore the world quickly to last ing order.
 Between Vladivostok and Coblenz there are three hundred millions of peoples, half of whom need every thing from machines and scythes to needles and matches, while the other half can barely subslst and are unable to buy anything new. Meanwhile other countries have a superfluity of gold and can't dispose of their raw stuffs and manufactures.
 Surely cool business heads could end these madhouse conditions. England is spending one and half millions sterling daily in unemployment doles, equalling a billion and half paper marks Can any separations com pensate for such conditions?
 But if you say this to politicians they speak of treaties, party coali- tions, peoples mandates and what not Such phantoms ought not to ex- ist at conference of practical econ omists concerned only with economic facts.
 War Inreased Debts
 The war increased the internal debts Of the belligerents from seven to one hundred and fifty billion dollars, su- perimposing a foreign debt of twen- ty-five billion dollars, on which the interest thus far has not been paid. to say nothing of capital payments which thus far have not even been considered.
 What is to become of this avalanche of debts, since it Is certain the United States will not abandon it's creditors rights to ten billions without some compensating gain? What is to be- come of the repanations settlements when only a partial plishment would be followed by a gigantic in- crease in the debtors exports, with ruin to the industries of the' other exporting countries? A hundred mill lion Russians are starving, or dying of filth. because they lack the tools and capital to exploit the resources of their rich land. The politicians speak endlessly of the bolshevist danger and demand guarantees before they begin trading. The coming economic con- ference must remember that no other government is possible in Russia at the moment and that most terrible chaos would result from a sudden fall of the bolshevists.

Eufaula. March 11.-(Specia.)- Senator Charles McDowell, IT,, presi- dent Eufaula Kiwanis club, ad- dressed the club at it's meeting last night on Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals
 Since this offer was first made by the Detroit man, Senator Mcdowell has been enthusiastic over the accep- tance of the bid by Congress, and as candidate for lieutenant governor, since last summer, he has declared himself upon the stump in many ad- dresses.
 Last week he was one of the speak CTS at the great Ford mass meeting in Montgomery, and he believes that Congress will heed the wishes ot the people of Alabama and permit the Ford bid to be accepted. This means much to the farmers of Alabama.

Brandon Visits Old ChIderSburg Home,
 Scene of Childhood

Childersburg. March 11.-(spe- cial.)-While in Childersburg Friday to attend the dedication of the new public school here, Judge w. W. Brandon, of Tus- caloosa, candidate for governor, visited a number of scenes of his childhood, including the old Methodist parsonage, now aban- doned for that purpose and oocu- pied by an old negro family.
 Judge Brandon went through all of the rooms of the old house, including the shed room, which for years he had used and slept in at nights, as a boy. He visited the scene of the old church where his father had preached, the old school where he had learned his letters, the old stores where he had traded, the creek where he had fished, the fields where he had plowed hunted rabbits and trapped birds.
 Its rard job to keep the tears back today" he said to those who had accompanied him.
 At the old home where he spent four years he was particu- larly sad to see that it had de- cayed in condition.
 Here in this little room my mother taught the children" said he. Here she did her sew ing, and there in the old kitchen she cooked the things we liked so we'll"
 The old negro couple residing at the place now have been there for many years. They regard it sacred, because the good preacher lived there so long. The old negro nanny. crippled for the past few years, says she intends to die there. The next governor and his friends dropped some silver into the hands of the old negroes, as they departed from the place.
 "l sho is glad he gwine be Guy ner" said the old negro nanny. and her husband chimed in his acclaim. He sho stieserve it and will make good un," said Ne.

a bucket of coal-the Russian mines are closed-or a million pairs of boots would be astonished at the heap of goods, even of gold, which would emerge from hiding and be offered in exchange. Business men would con slider this and once they found ra. tional, workable plan. public opinion would support them.
 America Needed
 But all of this is impracticable without America. American business genius must realize that the time is past when easy prosperity permitted an abstention from European affairs and even the biggest banks cannot ex- ist unless given new creative work instead of merely the administration of accumulated wealth.
 The old world needs the new, but the hew world also needs the old both have the same problems.

 Make Room for Business Men
 With such result, after three years of work, the professional politicians might, without feeling humiliated, make room for business men. The latter are not always the more clever. but they are unpr ejudiced, impartial and not hampered by party tradition, routine, and mouldy documents.
 For considering the records, how can we hope that the man who thus far have proved unable to find effec- tual means toward recovery will do better at Genoa than merely fill the cemetery of the old Doges city with the graves of fruitless plans?
 Even Washington, the most fruitful of all the conferences, had mainly negative aims, namely, the preventing of naval armament competition, Pa- cific war and the partitioning of Chi na. Then, too. the moving spirits at Washington were Americans and Asi- atics. They were not from the moul- dy lands of bureauracy and of parlia- mentary and journalistic routine. The
