Return of Saar and

By The Associated Press
The steering committee of the
disarmament conference v oted
Wednesday to suspend the parley
until January.
In the meantime international
diplomacy is to be given full play
in its efforts to save the disarma
ment conference from oblivion and
to bring Germany, which withdrew |
lasg month £rom the negotiations
back into the econversations. |
Reports from Paris said that
Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Ger
many offered peace and security‘
to France Wednesday in an inter
view published in the newspaper
Le Matin.
In return, he asked equality for
Germany which he said could be
realized *by stages and daetails |
talked over. J
To give security to France, the
chancellor said he would "Willing-‘
ly do anything not involving dis
honor or danger to my country.” |
“I am convinced,” said Hitler,
“that once the question of the Saar
—which is. German land—has been
settled there is nothing, absolutely
nothing, whith can oppose Ger
many to France.
“I alone décide what lis. Ger
many's policy and when T give my
word it is my habit to keep it.”
DOOR IS OPEN
PARIS — () — A government
spokesman said Wednesday that
the French door to peace is wide
open to ChanceMor Hitler of Ger
many if he eares to enter carry
ing an olive hranch.
Thig authoritative invitation was
made as a gomment on an inter
view with the German chief by
Fernand De Brinon, a close friend
of former Premier Edouard Dala
dier. published in the mnewspaper
Le Matin,
The interview quoted Hitler as
offering peace . and security to
France in return for equality for
Germany.
Le Matin said Hitler visualized
the greatest obstacle to accord
between France and Germany as¢
the question of the Saar territory
new held by France; the French
government spokes said, ‘“the ques
tion is whether Chancellor Hitler
will submit to the supervisions of
the armaments we know he is
building.” B
The spokesman rejected the ddea
of direet ¢onversation between
Premier Albert Sarraut and Chan
cellor Hitler suggested several
days ago in unofficial cireles.
“We are ready to talk through
ambassadors,” he said, "“but we do
not see that a meeting of Hitler
and Sarraut could clear the at
mosphere, Germany has a clean
cut program which needs military
force to execute and she rapidly
is getting this forece.”

$48,000,000 will be paid immediate

are to receive options on 2,400,000
bales of government held cotton.
Oscar Sohnston,. director of fi

The producers who asked op

A suggestion that government
loans on cotton be increased from
ten to fifteen cents a pound will
be withdrawn by the national cot

DUDLEY ANSWERS
" BOND ISSUE QUIZ
Mayor Urges League of
Women Voters to Sup
port Bonds
Replying to questions from
members of the League of Women
Voters, Mayor A. G. Dudley Tues
day afternoon explained and de
fended the possibilities of the pro
posed bond issue to be voted on
December 2
Speaking at a luncheon meet
ing of the League, Mr. Dudley
pointed out that the ctiy water
works are bringing in $40,000 an
nually, sufficient, in his opinion
not only to pay interest on the
bonds, but also to retire the sink
ing fund.
“The city of Athens has expect
ed for years to be able to pave
several streets which are impor
tant thoroughfares through its tax
collegtions. During the past three
years, however the collections have
fallen off to such an extent that
it has been necessary to retrench,
rather than expand”’, the mayor
stated.
“1t would be simply foolish to
await collection of these taxes to
pave certain streets that are bad
ly in need of paving, and to
make repairs to school buildings
that are vital to the health of
Athens children”. The city of
Athen is as well able to issue
and sell bonds as any city of its
size in the United States”, he add
ed.
“It is true,” he said, “that tax
collections have decreased during
the past few years, but city of
ficials are unwilling to force sale
of property on which the taxes
are due.”
Here he was interrupted by a
member of the League with the
question as to whether it was sig
nificant that collections had fallen
off enormously since 1929, and in
case such decreases continued, how
could the interest on the bonds be
paid? He replied that collections
simply could not be allowed to de
crease further, and at any rate the

South Georgia Is Watching
Pine Experiments Anxiously
States to Be Tremendous
ly Affected by Success
Of Paper Making
BY CLYDE BEALE
VALDOSTA, Ga. —(AP)— South
Gieorgia, one of the country's rich
est pineland sections is following
.with keen interest the develop
ments in the new industry of man
ufacturing paper from pine wood.
. Georgia, which. has approxi
‘mately 23,000,000 acres of forest
’.lands. a great percentage of which
is pine land, will be tremendously
affected by the nmew industry if it
materializes. South Georgia, which
;produces approXimately 50 per cent
of the nation’s supply of mnaval
stores, has been called the great
est pine region in the world. i
Slash and loblolly pines, the va
i'rleties from which Dr, Charles
Herty has manufactured the paper
'u‘sed by several newspapers of the
state, grow in abundance here,
}Riding along the roads in this sec
"tion, one may see miles upon miles
of thickly wooded pinelands.
Agricultural leaders of this sec
tion congidered Dr. Herty's experi
ment one of the greatest, if not
the greatest development in the
timber industry. The establish
‘ment of paper making on an ex
tensive scale in South Georgia,
they assert, would almost revolu
tionize agriculture in this region.
The industry would give the far
mers and land holders another
cash erop and thus release them
partially from the necessity of
growing cotypn year after year de
spite fluctuations in price.
A strong demand for pines to
‘manufacture paper would also help
the timber industry in that it
\would induce farmers and others to
thin their woods. Thinning out
forests in order to give trees a
chance to develop into normal saw
logs is badly needed in certain
sections of South Georgia now.
South Georgia land owners are
looking to their pine forests with
more concern now than ever be
fore. Many of them have begun
the planting aind cultivation of
pines on cut over lands and the
number of acres of woods placed
under timber protective organiza
tions to guard them against fire
has shown a steady increase dur
ing the past few yeafs.
