FRENCH POSITION GRATIFYING
I Stresses The Necessity Of An Ind*
pendent Polish State. And
Condemns Bolshevism
Washington.—The Amu lean and
French governments are in entirs
1 the fu
agreement in principle as i to
ture of both Poland and Russia. Sec
yeiary Colby decta-s in a formal
statement interpreting France's rejoin
dfi to the American note to Maly. His
fclatemeut accompanied publ'cation of
thr translation of the French note,
which was delivered at tbi state de
partment of August 14 ry Prince de
Bearn, the French cba’gi.
France’s declaration “of its opposi
tiou to the dismemberment of Russia
is "most gratifying,” Mr. Colby says,
and *adds:
“The response is a notable declara
tion from every viewpoint, and brings
to the position taken by the United
States a striking emphasis and pow
erful support.’ 1
The secretary referred to French
recognition of General W’rangel in
south Russia as a "divergence” be¬
I tween the two governments on one
point, but said the United States waa
“disposed to regard the declared agree
inent of France with the principles
of the United States as of more sig
idficance than any diveigence of po
icy involved in the specific action of
France In this single respect.”
The French notes declares that th*
1 French government “is of ihe same
opinion” as the American
j "concerning the present rulers of
1 sia," and proceeds to condemn
Bolsheviki In language almost
| ! cal with that employed in the Ameri
can note to Italy.
Asserting that France is in “com
plete accord” with the United States
as to "the necessity for an lndepend
ent Polieh state, the note adds
“This is why there is agreement be
tween the French government and the
American government to encourage all
effortB made with a view to bringing
about an armistice between Poland
and Russia, while avoiding giving to the
negotiations a character which might
result in the recognition of the Bolshe
vist re.gime and in the dismemberment
o f Russia."
i By this declaration, France was re¬
garded here as joining with the Unit
ed States in opposing any negotiations
with the Bolsheviki, such as nad been
proposed by Great Britain in the once
projected London conferem

West Point, Ga., August 7th, 1920.
To the People of Georgia:
When the generous and big-heart¬
ed people of the best state in the
Union were Informed of the devasta¬
tion wrought by the flood at West
Point last December, when she was
ravaged by the turbulent Chattahoo¬
chee River, they responded to her call
for help with a liberality which evi¬
denced their love for the stricken city.
. recipient of their dollars,
wlljle not a
there is not a resident of this city
| appreciated the contri
who generous
buttons more than myself.
Less than four months after, when
a tornado swept West Point, leaving
death and destruction in its path, Geor¬
gians again wanted to help my home
tewn; our citizens, with their indorni
table spirit, took care of the unfortun
ales without outside assistance.
While my own financial loss from
the flood and tornado was a heavy
one, 1 humbly bow in submission tc
decree of fute, and am neither dis
couraged nor broke; yet there is one
thing 1 would like to have from Geor
gians; that is. their vote for Railroad
Commissioner to succeed the present
incumbent, P. B. Trammel.
Col. L. N. Trammel most ably fillec
that office until bis death, and aftei
a short interval, his eon, the incum
bent, was appointed to the commis
sion. Since that time he has beec
elected twice and is a candidate for t
third time. He has two sons, eltitei
of whom are eligible to that ofice, fi
they should aspire to It.
The continuation of any one famil)
in ofice partakes of autocracy and ii
directly contrary to my ideas of Dem
ocracy, for which 1 have always coa
tended, and shall continue to do s*
as ioug as life shall last, whether i
win or lose.
I want another interval in-this fam
ily succession to ofice and l want thii
Interval named Bankston.
&fv record as cfaj&piAR of th* BAil
road Committee of the Hou3o of Hep]
regulative* for , a two . .. le .
years, wa
member of the legislature from Trout
county, shows conclusively that th,
corporations cannot control me. In «i
bill, Which . - for consideratiot . , .. i
came up
before that committee, which was op ]
posed by one of the biggest corpora !
tlons In the Southland, a tie vote re
suited, and, as chairman, it was nec ,
essary for me to cast the decidinj
vote, which was against the iuteresti
of that corporation, My vote wil
probably cost me their opposition, anc
perhaps that ofother corporations; ye
I prefer their antagouism to sacrific
ing principle to curry their favor.
After reading the printed evidenc,
recently submitted the Railroad Com
mlesion, I believe I would have agaii
incurred the antagonism of the corpo
rations by refusing to grant the in
crease in car fare and electric current
as well as gas furnished to consum
ers.
The word “corporation” is no night
mare to me simply because it bean
that name, and I think corporation!
are entitled to a fair return on th*
actual money invested, <as well as in
dividuals, but 1 am sure their custom
ers should not have to pay increase*
rates that a dividend may be paid oi
watered stock.
At the recent meeting of the Geor
gia Press Association, held at Cai
I rollton, i was honored by being elects*
an honorary lifetime member, whicl
