a short cut to the Holman measure
and one that would be a charter for
a council-city manager form, DR.
Jacobstein said this type OF city CIV
ernment is in line with the most
recent developments" and that more
than 500 communities in 40 States
now operate under such a plan
More than 12.50O, 900 people now live
under city manager government, he
added.
Would Cut Councils Pay.
Among amendments he suggested
were: Reduce pay of commissioners
(councilmen from 5000 to $4,000,
since they ought to be policymakers,
serving only part time; provide for
appointment by President OF two
commissioners at large, in addition
to seven elected: provide for removal
Of city manager for general inefh- :
cheney and unacceptability." as we'll
as misconduct, and pay him $4,000
to $4,000 instead of proposed
1000; revise statement Of powers
Of commissioners to strike out leg
islation,' since there might be
doubts as to that.
DR.. Jacobstein said he would op-
pose the use OF any party emblem by
candidates seeking office in the
District.
Not even rooster?" asked Chair
man McCarran.
Not even a rooster" the witness
replied. Not even a hammer and
sickle
DR.. Jacobstein also pointed out he
would have the chairman OF the
council elected by the members OF
that governing body and not by the
people as whole.
Dislikes Idea Of Mayor.
II don't like the idea of q hand
shaking, baby-kissing mayor" he
said. Such man, who would al
ways be trying to get his picture in
the papers, would reduce the EN-
cheney OF the city council"
He added that, in his opinion, the
salary for a city manager, who would
VIC SeloSIcu NY IIle COunCl, Win the
consent Of the Senate, should be kept
suf1lciently high to attract able ap-
plicants, although he expressed doubt
that Congress would approve the
proposed salary of $4,000 a year.
III you don't have the right kind
OF man, the city manager type of
government will explode in your
face in four years" he said.
The witness stressed the necessity
OF defining more clearly than is
done In the McCarran bill the finan-
clal relation between the proposed
council and Congress. He pointed
out that unless the councilmen knew
what Congress intended to appro-
pirate, 1t would be impossible TO,
them to prepare a budget and fix
a tax rate at the beginning of the
year.

Postwar Cooperation
With Britain Is Urged
By. Secretary Knox
Ny the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. THE spirit OF
understanding" between England
and the United States has produced
magnificent rewards, not only fol-
the contracting parties but for the
worlds welfare" in the view OF
Secretary of the Navy Knox, and
should be continued into the postwar
world.
In an address to the English
Speaking Union last night, Mr.. Knox
asserted as his studied opinion,
that "the security of the world de-
pends in very large measure upon
Anglo-American leadership"
He traced the history of relations
between the two nations since their
last conflict, the War of 1872, point
ing out that while there have been
disputes in the interim, the amity
between them has never been
broken.
Recalls Early History.
1T is the very fact" he continued
that the British and the American
commonwealths have had their
vigorous disputes and for more than
century have settled them without
recourse to arms that gives substance
to the hope that Anglo o-Americar
leadership provides for the rest OF
the world.
The pages of history are open
We know that for long after the Wal
of Independence. Britain held the
power of life and death over the
infant republic. What preserved us
as Nation then was the fact that
there were probably more champions
of American independence in Eng
land itself than on this side of the
war.
II can say with the late LORD
Lothian (former British Ambassa
dor to Washington that it is not
my idea but one borrowed from
many British historians, that the
American War for Independence was
not only a victory for us, but it was
also a victory for the British COM
mon people, misruled themselves
through the manipulation of the
rotton boroughs, taxed without rep
resentation, oppressed by archaic
laws enforced with bigotry by a
crown which sought to gather into
its own hands the powers that had
been gradually won by the people. '"
Not Always Losers.
Mr.. Knox condemned the belief
that the United States always loses
In the diplomatic game, and said,
From the time the British fleet
in Manila Bay interposed itself be-
tween the bellicose German war
ships and Admiral DeWey's so the
American could do what he had to
do: until the establishment of the
neutrality patrol and the transfer to
beleaguered Britain of so overage
destroyers in exchange for offshore
bases, the spirit of understanding
between the two countries has pro-
duced magnificent rewards, not only
for the contracting parties but for
the worlds welfare.
That comingling Of strength and
skill with that of the United Ma
tions must be continued after this
war is won. The unity that is win
ming the war must be exercised in
peace to the preservation of the
victory and to the extension OF its
benefits to all mankind.
"Of supreme Importance is the
fact that at the Moscow conference
the whole spirit of international CO.
operation, now and after the war,
was revitalized and given practical
expression. The conference thus
launched a forward movement
which, am firmly convinced, will
steadily extend in scope and effec-
tiveness."
