GENOA CONF FERENCE
FAVORED BY FRANCE.

PARIS, Jan. 17.-France' foreign
policy under Premier Poincare en-
bodies Endorsement of the Genoa
economic conference according to
semi official advices from the Quai
d'Orsay today
M. Poincare, it was authoritative
ly reported, will recommend the
conference to the chamber Of depu-
ties when he announces the poll
cies of the new government on
Thursday, and will propose to go TO
Genoa him elf.
M. Poincare has conceded a step
further in his attitude toward the
Russians, it is believed. Instead Of
insisting upon a guarantee fr IN
the soviet government as a prellm-
mary step to the Genoa conference,
the 1lcw premier, it is understood,
will be satisfied if Russian guaran-
tees 81 taken up as one of the first
moves of the parley itself. The
British view does not yet go this
far; Lloyd George intended the Rus
SANS should be admitted to deter
mine what guarantees they will give
for their participation in the re-
Mobilization of Europe.
A cabinet council, presided over
by Pre- sident Millerand, was to be
held today at the Elysee.
Little was accomplished in the
first meeting between Poincare, as
French foreign minister, and Lord
CurZon.

Farmers Of DeKalb
To Devise Plans for
Diversified Farming

DeKalb county farmers and bust
ness men will hold a meeting in
the courthouse at Decatur, Tuesday
evening, to discuss new marketing
methods by which they intend to
Combat the one-crop system, and
adjust themselves to the conditions
brought by the boil weevil.
Plans for the establishment Of
mill for the manufacture of dairy
feed; of a cannery; and possibly Of
creamery, will be laid before the
citizens of the county. Representa-
tives from Decatur, Stone Noun
tain, Scottdale, Lithonia, and other
cities and sections will be present.
DR.. Wiley f. Ansley will preside.
Among the speakers at the meeting
will be William Schley Howard,
Representatives from the state de-
partment of agriculture, and others.
Dairying, which has grown to be
one of the major enterprises in the
DeKalb agricultural field, is said
to be handicapped at the present
time, by a difficulty in securing
food for dairy cattle. 1t is believed
that an up-to-date feed mill and the
organization of a good distribution
system for the feed, will go a long
way toward making dairying more
profitable to the farmers.
A cannery will enable the fruit
growers and truck gardeners to
make rn"ney from products which
at present are not fully marketable.
I The establishment of a creamery
will also be marketing venture
that promises good profits to farm
ers who have hitherto depended too

Lincoln Farmers
Pay Taxes Well;
Big Lumber Industr,

LINCOLNTON, Ga, Jan. 1.-THE
farmers Of Lincoln county. like all
other counties in the cotton belt,
have been hard hit by the unprece-
denied conditions of the past year,
but they believe in paying their
taxes, as is shown by the records Of
the tax collector of the county, J.
J. Bentley, which show that Deem
Der 20, when the books closed for
the year 1921, four-fifths of the
taxes Of the county had been col
lected. It is believed that this is as
good a record as can be found in
the state in the cotton belt proper.
Lincoln county, too, has been
benefited largely by the lumber in
dustry in the county. Immense for
ests of fine timber are found all over
the county, and planners have been
kept busy. The Lovelace Lumber
company planer and lumber plant
at Lincolnton has been running day
and night for several months, and
lumber has been coming into Lin
colnton at the rate Of fifty to seven
ty-flve thousand feet per day. Much
of this is being shipped.
Farmers of the county are plan
ming to grow more f6odstuffs, grass,
cattle, hogs, etc. and less cotton; in
fact, some of the largest planters of
the county say they will not plant
a seed of cotton this wear

Jewish Merchants
Beware This Gent

AMERICUS, Ga, Jan. 17.-Sev-
eral Americas Jewish merchants
were victimized last week by
smooth tongued stranger who intro
duced himself of a Detroit hide
house and succeeded in borrowing
sums ranging from S. to SO from
half a dozen or more Americas bust
ness men. 1t is believed here that
the man is working his game extern
sively in this part of Georgia, let
ters having been received from
Thomasville relating how he success
fully borrowed 500 from a Jewish
merchant in that city.
The man, a Jew, Immediately
dressed, talks fluently of his trav-
els, and evidently has been in many
parts Of the country. After beconi-
ing acquainted with his victim, the
man usually referred to a draft he
had deposited for collection with
a local bank, and after a brief con-
versation requested, with apologies,
small loan. His evident culture
and refinement enabled him to put
over the scheme quite generally

Foes Of La Toilette
Plan His Expulsion
From Ranks of Party

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Expul-
sion Of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, Wisconsin, from the Re
publican party is being sought by
his political and personal enemies.
This move is a prelude to an eff
fort to drive La Toilette from public
life when he seeks denomination and
reelection to the senate this year.
At a recent meeting Of the Re-
publican committee on committees
Of the senate, a motion was made
that Senator La Foleltte be expelled
from the party. This was to be
done by dropping him from all the
senate committees " which he is
now a member, and excluding him
from the Republican conference,
that is, the secret meetings of all
senate Republicans to determine
party policies on legislation.
The attempt fell through for the
Moses, New Hampshire, raised the
point that the committee on COM
mtttees, though it can control a
senator's committee assignments,
cannot be the judge of his, qualifica-
tons as member Of the party.
Senator La Follete's enemies urg-
ed that he is not a Republican but
a radical; that he not only does not
play the game" with the party or
ganization but goes out Of his way
to oppose the administration and
his Republican colleagues.

HAYS HIRED BY FILM MENTOR
PURELY PRACTICAL JOB
Electric Light Men
Will Spend Billion

BANKERS INTRIGUE
OvERTHREW BRAND
BY HIRAM X. MODERwELL

(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright. 1929
CANNES, Jan. 17.-An important
factor in the overthrow of Premier
BRAND was intrigue on the part Of
the great banking interests, accord
ing to the story told the writer by
a well-informed student of French
financial affairs. For several months
a duel has been fought between Min
lister Of Finance Doumer and M.
Loucheur, minister for the devastat-
ed regions. Douner Is allied with
the great bank Union Parisienne,"
and Loucheur with the Bank de
Paris ct Pays Bas."
The former bank is largely direct
ed by English interests and the
later largely by American. The for
mer's policy pre-eminently repre-
sents the old French idea Of finance,
that Of favoring small investors
seeking safe and conservative in
vestments with fixed guaranteed re-
turns annually. The latter's policy
is based on the new idea, namely
that Of assisting big industrials seek
ing exclusive markets, unlimited raw
materials and daring speculation for
large dividends.
Minister Loucheur was Brands
special conf1dant, representing the
tendency towards international fl
nance, and seeking a great indus
trial and financial combination with
Germany. This plan was undoubted-
ly preached udring the conversations
at Wiesbaden, but was checked by
the growing power of the Poincare
party. M. Doumer was retained in
Brands cabinet in order to placate
the premier's opponents, although
Doumer represents the tendency to-
nance.
This financial rivalry has perme-
ated all political contests for
months. It looks as If the nation
alist tendency had won definitely,
pledging France to the conservative
policy of protecting fixed obligations.
According to the analysis here
given, the United States hight have
profoundly influenced the course of
events if it had been willing, like
some other nations, to engage in
French internal DOlitics

Duplication in Sales, Great
est Loss of Industry. Ex-
pected to Be Corrected by
Postmaster General

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-This is the
inside story of why the moving pic
ture magnates can afford to pay
Will H. Hays one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars year.
All the altruistic and uplift pur-
poses attributed to the move may be
properly Endorsed but the true story
is the extremely practical plan Of
an extremely practical set of big
business men behind one of the
biggest of Americas industries.
The masters of the moving pic
ture business definitely expect that
Will H. Hays, by harmonizing the
industries business policies, will
save for them and therefore in eff
feet, earn for them ten times his
salary.
That is why they were able to in
duce Mr.. Hays to give up his posi-
ton as postmaster general in the
cabinet of President Harding to be-
come the "Landis of the Movies"
The explanation is in the fact that
the great trouble with the moving
picture business at present is dupli-
cation in sales. There are perhaps
500 big, fincially responsible moving
picture theaters in the country, but
there are about $4,000 smaller thea
tiers which constitute the bulk of the
business. These small theaters, in
order to get the big features from
various companies, contract annu-
ally for far more pictures than they
can use. They pay FOR only the
pictures that they do use and the
big producers are helpless. They
cannot collect for the unshown pic
lures, in many cases, without actu-
ally closing up the small theater,
which is the last thing they desire
to do.
The loss in 1921 on unshown pic.
lures ran from Is to 80 per cent Of
the entire contracted business of
most of the largest concerns. With
the annual business running over
S100,000,000 this would mean a loss
Of over $15,O00,000 and a saving of
a very small percentage, in fact, 1
per cent, would pay the salary Of
the former postmaster general.
The big producers in the agree.
ment with Mr.. Hays propose to form
definite system for the exchange
of information, the first that has
ever been possible in the industry.
There will be a real organization
functioning along perfectly proper
and acceptable lines, which will be
designed to eliminate the enormous
waste now involved in the heavy
duplication Of sales. Mr.. Hays, at
the head Of this organization, will
be in a position to save enormous
sums for the industry, and at the
same time carry out his desires in
the way Of higher standards and the
general uplift Of the business.
But behind all other purposes and
the real decisive influence which
brought the great producers togeth-
er was the necessity for eliminating
the tremendous loss from which they
are all suffering acutely by the &C.
ton of the small exhibitors in buy
ing many more pictures than they
can display.

SIBERIAN QUESTION
MAY CAUSE CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-(By the
Associated Press)-Another meeting
Of the Far Eastern committee to
continue debate on the subject OF
the "open door" in China and fur
Their discussion of the Shantung
question between the Japanese and
Chinese delegates formed today's
program for the arms conference.
AS a starting point for the open
door" discussions today. the dele
gates Of the other powers repere'
scented in the Far Eastern commit
tee had before them for considera-
ton a concrete definition" of the
American view Of what constituted
an effective application Of this prin-
ciple. This was supplied them in
textual form yesterday by Secretary
Hughes after opening the debate
with a reaffirmation of the Amer1-
can .open door" policy in China,
and was understood to have been
based on the secretary's note Of last
July to the Chinese minister here
concerning a wireless concession to
the Federal Telegraph company, an
American corporation, its rights In
which were disputed by other pow
ers. A subsequent question arising
in the committee as to whether the
definition" should apply to private
enterprises went over for further
discussion today.
The Japanese and Chinese dele
cations, continuing today their Ell
forts to reach a settlement OF the
Shantung question, took up the mat
ter of coal and iron mines in the
Kiaochow leasehold of Shantung
province, but made virtually no
progress toward an agreement.
Meanwhile, until the Shantung is
sue is settled-and both sides indi-
Gated today that there were enough
things yet to be discussed to- occupy
many more-the Far Eastern COM
mittee at the suggestion of Secretary
Hughes is still deferring considera-
ton of the Chinese request for COM
niittee action on the famous "twen-
ty-one demands and also of the
question of spheres of influence.
In addition to these questions the
conference, having proceeded on the
declared policy of disposing first Of
subjects upon which agreement ap-
peared easiest, has yet to take up
the more difficult questions Of Man
churia and the Japanese occupation
In Siberia. Although protesting con-
fidence in the outcome, most of the
delegates privately concede that the
conference may be facing the most
critical stage Of it's entire course.
Meantime, final agreement on the
Pacific Notifications clause of the
naval treaty, upon which the Jap
anese are awaiting instructions from
Toxic, appears to have been held up
by political developments in japan
resulting from opposition in some
quarters to the British proposal
amending the original plan by limit
ing the zone of the Notifications
status quo to a region north of the

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Chicago's
S2,700,000 municipal repair shops
have been closed as a failure, it be-
came known today, following an in
vestigation by a committee of aid
ermen because city work done there
cost 300 per cent of what it would

Some illustrations given by alder
man in support Of the charges that
prices were excessive showed that
water valve, which on the outside
would cost So, cost the city SIS in
the shops, a bill for a police automo-
bile, which would cost So to $40 on
the outside, cost the city $40 at the
shops, standard automobile tires at
one time sold to the city at list price
less rs per cent, cost the city the
list price plus Is per cent for over
mead at the shops.
According to the aldermen's re.
port S5,113.97 was spent in repair.
