George IS leaning
- l-l-6
TO FRENCH VIEWS

PARIS, July 19.--(By the Associat-
ed Press.}--All the members OF the
committee on guarantees are now
in Paris to begin today the prepare
ton for their final report.
Until this work is completed and
the report presented to the repara-
tons commission, the whole repair
atoms question will be held in sus-
pense.
Premier Poincare is regarded in
well informed circles in Paris as
having Unanswered Prime Minister
Lloyd George into a position where
the British governmet will agree to
reduce considerably the French debt
to England and to renounce the Brit
ish share in German reparations.
The British position is presented
as insisting that Germany could not
pay all that is being demanded of
her and that France must agree to
less.
The substance of the French reply
has been as follows:
"You ask France to take less; are
you willing to accept less yourself?
You want France to pay her war
debts to you but not to insist upon
payment of her claims, collectively
authorized by the allies against Ger
many"
Mr.. Lloyd George is described as
coming more towards acceptance of
the French point of view. 1t is
thought that since it is evident that
both the Genoa and Hague confer
ence had failed and that the German
situation was daily becoming more
critical, an approximation to the
French point of view was inevitable.

This Country Needs
Lawmakers Holiday,
Editors Are old
BY JOHN PASCHALL
managing Editor of The Journa

managing Editor OF The JOurnaD
QUITMAN, Ga, July ia ten
years holiday for lawmaking bodies
was proposed last night to the edi-
tors of Georgia as something worth
while for them to advocate in their
editorial columns. Lee w. Branch,
distinguished Quitman attorney, Of
fered this suggestion as solution
to the ills that beset modern gov
eminent.
Mr.. Branch is Of the opinion that
we have enough laws and too many,
and that we should let congress and
journ for a period of ten years and
give the people a chance to try out
the statutes now on the books. AT
the end or ten years he would con-
vene the legislative bodies again and
let them repeal all of the laws which,
had been proved unwise End
strengthen those that had been
found useful.
The major operation on the body
polite was proposed by Mr.. Branch
in the course of a very interesting
welcome address to the Georgia
Press association in which he point
ed out some of the acute problems
facing the state and the nation at
the present time. The failure Of
our Republican government to meet
such problems as the railroad strike
and the menace of lawlessness that
has shown, it's ugly face throughout
the nation was his theme. Self-sac-
rificing and determination on the
part of the individual to live under
the laws Of the land as now enacted
furnish our only hopeS of salvation,
in his oOlnion.

BOWDEN DEFENDS
CITY Of WAYCROSS
ON HOUSE FLOOR
Believes Local Authorities
Able to Fully Handle Strike
Situation NO Criticism Of
Governor

A defense of the good name of
Waycross and denial that there
has been rioting in that city, or that
a state of instruction exists was
delivered on the floor of the house
of representatives Wednesday morn
ing by Representative j. e. T. Bow
den, of Ware county, in which the

wAYCROSS, Ga, July 19.-Fol-
lowing general disorders here, which

morning.
At a conference held late last
night between Mayor Dan T. Cow
art, Sheriff H. T. Sweat, and Col
onel l.. c. Pope, the latter. in COM
mand of the military now station
ed here, it was decided that the
city would not be put under mar
tial law at present, but that the
soldiers would be classed as rein
forcements to the police.
This action was taken to indicate
that the officials desired to avoid
further trouble since trainmens
organizations had given notice that
they would not work under martial
law.
With three companies of Georgia
national guardsmep here for patrol
duty in connection with disorders
growing out of the strike Of local At
lantic Coast Line shop workers, fears
of further disturbances had dimin-
ished today. The guardsmen, COM
prising about IT'S men, including a
machine gun unit, arrived late yes
terda yand pitched their tents in the
outskirts Of the city.
AS the train bearing the soldiers
rolled into the station, Waycross
took on an appearance like Sunday"
according to Mayor Dan Cowart,
who said "the beatings and pron1is-
cueus shootings" had ceased.
The militiamen were sent here ut
the request of local authorities, who
reported to Governor Hardwick their
inability to handle the situation cre-
ated by strike disorders. In addition
to serious injuries to half a dozen
men and beatings administered to
fifty or more others, Mayor Cowart
stated threats had been made
against Coast Line officials.

GOVERNOR HARDW|CK.
TAKES FIRM STAND.
FOR LAW AND ORDER.
Invisible Government De-
nounced Economy and
Sane Tax Reform Urged,
Editors Farmers Guests
BY JOHN PAsCHALL

Damaging Editor OF The JOurnaD
BLUE SPRINGS, Ca, July 49,
In a shady grove at this pretty re-
sort on the banks of the Willacooche
river separating the prosperous
counties Of Brooks and Lowndes
Governor Thomas w. Hardwick de-
Tended his administration here today.
He was the principal speaker at the
annual meeting and barbecue of the
Brooks County Farmers union. Farm
ers from three counties and editors
from all over. the state were in his
audience. Rain fell internationally,
but failed to dampen the. enthusiasm
Of the gathering or to affect the Wig
or Of the governors speech.
II The meeting here today was non
political, but the governors speech
was regarded as the keynote of his
fight for reelection. On the same
platform with him was J. j. Brown
commissioner of agriculture, who
also delivered a speech in defense Of
his administration. The governor
and Commissioner Brown greeted
each other cordially.
Other speakers were J. III. Mills,
president Of the State Farmers I'm.
ion. who spoke on cooperative mar
keting, and J. r. Davis. who well
coined the Georgia editors. G.. G.
Cooper, president of the Brooks
County Farmers union, presided.
Governor Hardwiclz told how he
had improved the financial con-
dition of the state, paid Confed-
crate pensions and urged on the
Legislature the need of economy and
tax reform, criticized those who
sought to abolish the present tax
system without proposing anything
to, take its place, and reiterated
his determination to enforce the
laws OF the commonwealth.
He declared emphatically that it
was his high ambition, his I'M
shakable purpose to administer the
laws of Georgia honestly and fair
ly, justly and impartially so that
no man or set of men in Georgia
should be rich enough or powerful
enough to be above the authority
and power of the law, none so poor
or SO humble as to be denied it's
protection. He wanted to be fair
and just to capital and labor alike
hut both must bow in submissive
obedience to the law.
Invisible Government Scored
He added, however, that the in
dividual is already. in his opinion,
too much censored by statutes and
his liberties too much curtailed. He
then declared that it was unthink.
able and intolerable that the citi-
zen's rights should be further de-
MED by invisible forces" There is
no room or place in Georgia. he
said. for invisible government, and
I'VE cannot and will not tolerate
| it,"
Concluding, he said: "The present
governor of Georgia has no boss
and acknowledges no master. save
the sovereign constituency whose
commission I hold, and if 1 cannot
continue to hold that commission
without subserviency to a self-ap.
pointed overload, I stand ready,
gladly and cheerfully, to surrender
it.. unsullied. to the people from,
