tary Inspector Wood announced to-
day that when he gets all arrange
ments made he is going after the mo-

breed, and start campaign against
them that is to last all through the
summer.
Likewise, he is preparing to put
out fly traps again this year, and
keep them out. A new type of fly
trap was used last year and was so
successful that the city kept them in
use all summer, batting them regul-
arly. They will be put out on the
streets again this year, and it is ex-
pected they will do their part in
keeping down the flies. These traps
have proved such successful eradica-
tors of flies that they are being rec
commended to all householders for
private premises, by the city Sanitary
Department.

MAN FOUND DEAD IN
TOWNSVILLE PLANT

BROWNSVILLE, April 13.-Jesse
D. Cummings, employed at the Thorn
asville Ice Manufacturing Plant died
Thursday at about 7 o'clock. Cum
mings was found lying on the door of
one of the ice shifting rooms on the
second floor of one of the main
buildings by negro workman, who
notified Pete Wright and others of
the fact. They went at once to this
room and found that Cummings had
fallen to the floor and was dead.
Doctors were summoned at once,
however, and an examination was
made. He had been dead only a very
short time when found. Owing to
the fact that there were no witnesses
to the death a Coroner's jury en-
paneled and an investigation made.

of attack on the problem must be
more informed action by individual
business men in periods of rising
markets in order that excessive ex-
pansion may be prevented and the
extent of the decline reduced. Stress
is laid upon the necessity for better
understanding of the business cycle
by the business executives generally.
The suggestions for control If excess
siye expansion embrace re,.ommenda-
tons as to the control Of credit by
individual banks, possible control of
initiation by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, the control by individual bust
ness men of expansion in their own
tss siness and The retardation in boom
times of Governmental and large
utility bi!ilding and construction.
The ynethods of reducing the extent
of fac declihN lie in the building up
Of Governmental and public utility
construction in times of depression,
the use of unemployment funds and
the expansion of Federal, state and
farm employment bureaus. The bet
ter control of credit against our ex-
pansiOn and speculation through the
individual banks and the guidance of
business itself by danger signals of
over expansion are fundamental.
The Committee considers that be-
fore the banks, business men and
others can take constructive action'in
the enlightened conduct Of business
in this relation, there must be re-
eruited and constantly disseminated
the fundamental information on
which the trends in business can be
properly adjudged by each individual
business man, and it strongly recon-
mends the recruiting of enlarged and
more systematic statistical informa-
ton by the Department Of Commerce
and it's wider dissemination.
The Committee calls attention to
the fact that the ebb and flow in de-
mand for consumable goods is less
comfortable than that of construc-
ton of buildings and equipment both
Governmental and private; that the
tendencies of boom periods is to
thrust double burden on the com.

The special committee on unen1-
ployment from the depressions in the
business cycle appointed by Secre-
tary Hoover, as chairman of the
Presidents Conference on Unem-
ployment, has made. public the con-
illusions reached after more than a
years study.
The Committee comprises: Owen
y. Young, chairman of the board of
the General Electric Company
(Chairman); Joseph H. Defrees, for
mer president of the U S. Chamber
oe Commerce; Mary Van Kleeck, Of
the Russell Sage Foundation Of New
York; Matthew Vol, vice president
of the American Federation of
Labor; Clarence NJ. Wooley, chair
man of the American Radiator Com
pany, and Edward Z. Hunt, Secre-
tary.
The committee enlisted the services
Of more than 200 employers, labo,
leaders, economic experts, fnarcia'
advisors and social workers, j. was
requested by Secretary Hoover that
they make an exhaustive inHestiGa~
tion into the facts and ,auses OF
periodic business depressions-h
times-and to see # suggestions
could be made of remedial steps that
might be taken by the business CON:
munity to avoid such Interruptions to
prosperity and employment.
The Committee has now issued its
own summary of conclusions and
suggestions. This will be followed vt
an early date with the complete pub
hcation of the facts and material
collected.
The Committee analyses the var
ious economic phenomena of the per-
iodic business boom and sequent de-
preston and its conclusions are that
preventative measures must lie in
the better handling of business in
boom times because depression and
hard times are due to over expan-
sion, initiation, loss Of efficiency,
waste and extravaganza of the boom
periods; that therefore the first point
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-04-13

munity of providing for increased
consumable goods and at the same
time undertake the larger burdens of
construction; that, therefore, the con-
struction industries are to some ex-
tent the balance wheel on the ebb and
flow of boom and depression.
The Committee points out the part
that Federal Reserve Banks can play
in restriction of speculation and over
expansion and at the same time in
liberalizing credit in times of depres-
sion, and it points out that at the
present moment the Federal Reserve
Banks hold larger supply of gold
than is necessary to support the
credit machinery Of American COM
merce, and suggests that considera-
ton be given TO ear1narking a special
reserve of this gold as against prob
able future gold shipments from the
United States and thus accomplish
the double object of preventing both
temptation to imitation of credits on
the basis of this surplus gold supply,
and at the same time the great en-
barrassment of possible financial
credit difficulties that would arise if
foreign uFaIJS were nldQ6 upon Lne
gold which had been used as credit
basis.
The Carnegie Foundation made
appropriations toward meeting the
cost of the inquiry. The National
Bureau of Economic Research, The
Russell Sage Foundation, the Fed
Grated American Engineering Socie-
ties, the United States Chamber of
Commerce, the American Federation
Of Labor, the American Statistical
Association, the American Economic
Association, the Bureau of Railway
Economies and the Department of
Commerce were among the bodies
which contributed services. The vast
compilation of fact and opinion on
which the committee based its con-
illusions was effected under the direc-
ton of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, whose director,
Wesley G. Mitchell is nationally
known as an authority on the BUSH

Test of Sincerity

A conscript army is very
cheap, whereas an army raised
by voluntary recruitment is
very expensive. The test of sin
certify in this matter is willing
ness to abolish CONSUMPTION.
What the assembly decides,
however, matters little. In real
ity, Europe is still dominated by
a combination of great powers,
when they agree, and left to
chaos when, as is more often the
case, they disagree. Now as be-
fore the war-perhaps even more
than before the war-it is force
that prevails.
Bismarck has been attacked
for saying that force often pre-
walls over right, but 1t was I'M
fortunately true when he said it
and it is true still. One example
of that fact is the case Of Wilma
1 will not discuss the difficult
question Of whether Poland
should have Wilma or not. The
point is that the Poles have
Wilma, not because of their right
to it has been admitted, but be-
cause they went and took it by
force.
And when they had taken 1t by
force, the Council of the League
of Nations did not even protest
against 1t, The reason of course
was that England and France
were not agreed about the matter
and that the other countries rep
have an opinion of their own.

Dividing Thrdce

The consequence Of this folly
is that the British government
has now been obliged to make
concessions that need not have
been made, had the Turks been
decently treated to begin with.
The proposed division Of Thrace
between Greece and Turkey can
not be permanent. The only solu-
ton of the question Of Thrace,
with it's mixed population of
Turks, Greeks and Bulgarians, is
to give it autonomy. But the
victorious Turks would not &C
cept that now and they have die
tated their terms to the Allies.
Once again it is force that has
prevailed.
Here was a question eminentiy
appropriate to the League or
Nations, II the League were O
reality. DR.. Nansen proposed that
the council Of the League should
be asked to deal with 1t, but ne
was promptly opposed by Eng
land, France and Italy.
Finally a resolution was passed
expressing confidence that the
council, without interfering IN
tho negotiations now pending"
would take whatever action 1t
considered opportune In the mat
ter,
OF course 1t will take none.
because England, France and
Italy will not allow 1t. They pre-
fer to deal with all important
matters by the old methods of
secret diplomacy.
The future is full of danger,
for Russia was not invited to the
conference at Lausanne and no
permanent settlement of the
question Of Constantinople or the
Dardanelles is possible without
the consent of Russia.
