French Economic Writers Agree
With. The Advice of Asquith
PARIS, June 21.—Mr. Asquith’s ad
vice to the British delegates to the
recent interparliamentary economic
conference to “be careful not through
excitment or blindness, or with the
desire to clinch a victory, to take
measures that will do you more harm
than the enemy,” was well given, in
the opinion of some French economic
writers.
Before the first interparliamentary
conference there were fears in French
as well as in English circles as to
what might be the results of unauthor -
itative discussion by parliamentarians
of international affairs, and the results
of the economic conference have not
allayed such fears.
Max Hoschiller, in the Revue De
Paris says there is great danger that
the hasty conception of these confer
ences, put into practice, would turn
against their authors, and that the
only plan ofeconomi c reciprocity be
tween the Entente Allies thus far de
veloped is of a nature to arouse the
liveliest apprehensions; that it is
even liable to bring about differences
and provoke grave conflicts of interest
between the Allies after the war.
M. Hoschiller declares “impossible of
application between the Allies them
selves,” the protectionism in four de
grees proposed by the conference, as
follows:
Reciprocal preferential tariffs be
tween the United Kingdom and its
colonial possessions.
Reciprocal and preferential tariffs,
secondary to the foregoing between
the British Empire and its Allies.
Favorite treatment, but in the third
order of preference, to neutrals.
Prohibitive tariffs on products of
countries now enemies of the Entente
Powers. '
In the first place, the preferential
reciprocal tariffs proposed for the
United Kingdom with its colonial pos
sessions put Great Britain in hostility
with Russia and in eventual conflict
with her own colonies. The latter, M.
Hoschiller expects, will seek larger
advantages from the exceptional sit
uation in which events have placed
them as providers of raw materials in
this industrial war.
Canada, which bought more than
$426,000,000 worth of goods from the
United States during the fiscal year
1914-15 and only $90,000,000 from
Great Britain notwithstanding prefer,
ent lai duties of 33 1-3 per cent would
be reluctant to consent to an economic
arrangement that would impede im
portations from the United States to
the profit o fthe mother-country, and
pay dearer for products which the
latter woudl not perhaps be in posi
tion to furnish.
Canada, at the same time, is the
gerat competitor of Russia in the
British market, its exportations of
wheat to England having gone from
twenty-one per cent, of the total in
1882 to 54 per cent of the total in 1911,
while Russia’s percentage of British
consumption remained stationary at

about fifteen per cent. Discrimination
against Russia would shut her out of
the market altogether. Russia's im
portations of wheat into Germany
were 519,000 tons as against 318,000
from Canada. N. Boradaievsky, point
ed out the significance of these figur
es to the Pan-Russian Agricultural
Congress, stated that unless the En
tente Allies facilitate the exportation
of Russian products the empire would
be forced after the war into an econ
omic arrangement with Germany.
Prof. Migouline, president of an
economic commission atached to the
Russian Ministry of Finance, wrote re
cently that it would be impossible for
Russia to boycott a country like Ger
many, which was before the war its
best customer, unless the Entente Al
lies opened their markets more large
ly. He points out that Great Britain
bought in foreign markets in 1913,
850,000,000 rubles in cereals and 2,-
740,000,000 rubles in alimentary pro
ducts of which Russia’s part was only
1225 million rubles, insignificant in
comparison with Russia’s exports to
Germany.
COLOUIT COUNTY IS
STILL AGITATED OVER
TICK ERADICATION
At a recent meeting of farmers of
Colquit county held in Moultrie, and
who are opposed to the campaign of
tick eradication, resolutions were ad
opted, calling upon the county com
missioners to let the people vote on the
question at an election to be held on
July 1. Both sides agreed to abide by
the results of the election.
The opponents of tick eradication
work were in the majority at the meet
ing and elected one of their number as
chairman. The meeting was stormy at
times and, just before adjournment,
some fifty speakers were on their
feet at one time.
The county authorities say that if
any election is held, interested .parties
will have to call it and that it doesn’t
make any difference which way it goei,
it will not alter their determination to
go forward and eradicate the cattle
tick from Cblquitt county.
It is said that only a small number
of those in favor of the campaign at
tended the mass meeting, which went
on record as being in favor of settling
the question by an election, and that
the .real majority of the supporters of
the tick eradication work believe that
such action would only serve to in
crease the friction between the twi
factions.
VALDOSTA TO HAVE SOCIA-
LOGICAL MEET THIS TALL
Interest in sociological work is
growing throughout the whole coun
try. A meeting looking to the ad
vancement of the work in the South is
to be held in Valdosta sometime this
fall. A news dispatch says:
A session of the Southern Sociolog
ical congress for Georgia and Florida
will be held here during the early fall,
the dates to be announced later. J. J.
Newman, president of the chamber of
crmmerce, is in receipt of a communi
cation from J. E. McCulloch, general
secretary of the congress, announcing
that he soon will be in Valdosta to
arrange for Hie meeting.
Miss Rule, of the faculty of the
South Georgia State Normal college,
who attended the recent congress at
New Orleans, and Miss Agnes McKen
na, probation officer for Lowndes
county, initiated the movement for a
session of the congress at Valdosta.
At the time the congress assembles
I here it is proposed to have a meeting
iof mayors, councilmen and county
commissioners of south Georgia with i.
I view to organizing and pushing the
work to be outlined.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION BROKE
ALL RECORDS HERE
The State Sunday School Convention
held in Atlanta, June 13th, 14th, 15th,
broke all past records in many ways.
There were 2,106 registered delegates
as compared with 1376 last year which
was the previous high record. The del
egates were classified as follows: 135
pastors 299 superintendents 1,001
teachers and Sunday school officers
and 671 others. These delegates were
from 131 counties.
The reports of the employed workers
show marked progress. During the
past year they held 126 county conven
tions and attended 202 meetings of
other kinds. They delivered a total of
1,053 addresses, and traveled 45,781
miles. The treasurer’s report showed
that while more work had been done
and the expenditures larger than that
in previous years, all bills were paid.
The reports also showed that all ex
cept 19 counties in the state were or
ganized, 12 had reached the Gold Star
Standard, and 51 the Banner Standard.
A new feature of the convention this
year was the Adult Bible Class parade,
which was estimated at between 1,500
and 2,000 men in line. The parade was
composed of all men delegates to the
(Convention, and Men’s Bible classes of
Atlanta.
Looking to the Future.
The convention in session voted to
continue the work on the same general
lines for the ensuing year, and to try
t< raise sufficient funds to put on an
additional worker in the field, which
will probably be a “Ten Age Special
ist.” At the last session of the conven •
tian a special offering was taken to
begin the fund for this purpose.
Another forward move taken by the
association was the formation of a
State Adult Bible Class federation, to
be composed of all organized Bible
classes of the state. The officers elect
ed for this federation were president,
Floyd Field, Atlanta; vice president, R.
H. Ferrell,Albany; secretary, Miss
Flora Davis Atlanta.
The convention also voted to hold the
next session in Savannah.

RAILWAY MAIL PAY IS
ONE OF OOESTIONS
ATLANTA, Ga., June 21.—" Why does
not the government pay the railroads
for mail in the same way that any
other corporation or individual has to
pay for services rendered b> the rail
roads?” asked a railroad official of a
postoffice man, in discussing one of the
big questions now before congress.
“Why dilly, dally around with a matter
that needs only common sense, busi
ness methods to settle It once and for
all?" added the railroad man. The
postoffice man didn't know, hence here
are some facts on the subject:
The postofflee appropriation bill now
beofre congress involves the railway
mail pay basis. It has been agitated
by the railroads in Georgia and every
other state in the union for the last
year or more on the ground that the
existing remuneration is unfair. Hav
ing been woefully negligent in adjust
ing this matter to date, according to
tailroad men, the government seems
equally indifferent as to the manner in
which the question is to be handled
now.
Under the present method of pay
ment, as pointed out, the railroads re
ceive a sum that is ridiculously stnall
in consideration of the burdens im
posed. Every four years an estimated
weight is taken by an investigation of
actual weight covering a period of 105
days. Upon this estimated weight the
railroads receive so much for handling
all mails, whether the actual work of
handling them be vastly different from
that of the 105 days, or whether or not
the mails increase or decrease in gross
weight at any time.
