Me EMPHASIZES that the loan agreement between us and the British "Is not directed against ANY OTHER COUNTRY," and adds: "The system of trade we seek is open on the same fair terms to all the United Nations." Little reading between the lines is reouired to understand that he Is referring to Russia which Is the leader of the com munistic! nvstem. What he means is that If Russia Is willing to do . .... txt ri in t it A I Dusiness wim us in uun vvnx there Is nothing In the British loan agreement to hinder such relations. THE point is that Russia DOESN'T do business in our way. All business with Russia must bo done with the RUS SIAN STATE, instead of with In dividuals, as is the free enter prise way. THIS thought, of course, was up permost in the minds of the members of congress when they voted. With a. campaign coming up, they would much rather have voted. AGAINST the loan, which Is not popular among the general .tin of American taxpayers. Only the logic of the situation that Is, the obvious necessity to strengthen that part of the world that does business OUR way In fluenced the senate and the house to approve the British loan, which Isn't a good vote-getter in a campaign year. THE British loan Is unpopular for the simple reason that the British failed to pay their World War I debt. Unfortunately, the reason why they failed to pay is not so simple. It Involves interna tional economics, which is a com plicated subject. The British didn't pay their World War I debt because they COULDN'T pay. We refused to accept, PAYMENT IN GOODS, which is the only way nations can pay their debts. Our idea then was to SELL ALWAYS and BUY NEVER. You can't do business that way. Business is TRADE. Unless there Is TRADE It bogs down. What is back of the present loan agreement is the purpose to enable the Brltlsn to iuauh wun us. By trading with us, they can pay their debt. IT Is really too bad that subjects such as this are as dull as dish water to the average citizen. Wo run understand twisting the n-iiit-h iinn' tail. There is DRAMA in that. We can under oinnrl the dcmtieoKUC! who beats his breast and shouts: "Why should we loan more money to these Britishers Who welshed on their debts to us after the last PERHAPS -we enn understand that Irt the present situation in the world we HAVE to stand back of the nations that do business In OUR way. Either Uiat or we shall have to do business Russia's way. When you do business on the oth er fellow's terms, you arc at a distinct disadvantage. That Is the nub of this present situation. By CHARLES V. STANTON Councilman Percy Croft at Monday night's council meet ing questioned advisability of a city manager form of gov ernment and expressed a viewpoint which indicates the mis taken thinking of some proponents of the program. Councilman Croft questioned that a city manager would result in "savings" to the city, claiming that no one could "spread the money thinner" than is being done by the council. : ' In his contention that there would be no saving to the city, Councilman Croft definitely is correct. Anyone who has made the slightest study of the city manager form of government well knows that a change to this form of gov ernment will cost money, at least for a few years. The ad vantage docs not lie in "saving" but in efficiency. If a person will scan the list of bills paid monthly by the council, he will observe that the major cost of operating the city is in salaries, water and light expense, maintenance of departments, etc., all items in which there is no opportunity for material reduction. Even with the most strict practices of economy, not more than a few dollars per year could be chiseled off the city's expense account. Should we change to the city manager form of govern ment, we will pay fully as much for city operating expense as at present, plus the salary of a manager and his overhead. The question previously has been asked : "What could a city manager do that cannot be done by the council?" It is perfectly obvious, we believe, that the council could, IN TIME, do anything that a city manager could, or would, be expected to do. But, again, we run into that matter of TIME. Councilman Croft estimates he averages about one hour per day in attention to city affairs. He is the "workhorse" of the council. From our observation he devotes more time and energy to municipal affairs than any other council member. There are eight members of the council. If each devoted one hour daily to city business, the combined labor would amount to eight hours. No one can question, we be lieve, that there is enough administrative work to require at least one hour per day from each councilman, if the work could be properly arranged and distributed. If, then, eight hours per day are required to attend to city affairs, it looks like good business, in our opinion, to hire someone to do the routine work and leave councilmen free to engage in more extensive planning. Councilman Croft, we believe, was quite modest in esti mating his averBge time given to city affairs at one hour per day. We would be willing to wager a small sum that if Mr. Croft kept a strict account, including time given to the city's park and playground commission, he would find his estimate very low. We would wager, further, that every member of the council gives far more than an average of an hour daily to municipal activities. We have no right to demand of busy men that they give so liberally of their time to municipal affairs -without re muneration. Itosoburg is getting too large and growing loo rapidly and has too many problems to require councilmen to take time from their private businesses to handle routine affairs. Employment of a manager would permit adminis trative details to bo handled promptly and efficiently. A manager could do all survey and engineering in connection with planning, leaving the council free to devote time and energy to matters of policy, with an executive to carry out instructions and handle details. This would result in greater efficiency and less lost time. But as to "saving," in the sense of lower cost in city ad ministration, no such factor is to be considered. A good city manager, however, will find hew sources of revenue, will find wavs and means of adding to municipal income, and will organize expenditures to secure the greatest value for every dollar spent. Over a period of years, therefore, he will actually prove an economy. We must reconcile ourselves to tlio fact that city adminis tration in the future will cost more money than at present. We can't expect to serve a large population with the same amount of money required for small population. When pop ulation doubles, we cannot expect to serve it efficiently on a budget limited by law to a 6 per cent increase per year. In our oninion. it would be most wise to authorize as one of our first increases in municipal cost the employment of a city manager.

Dusette, Hager to Top Mat Program Matchmaker ' Don Owen an nounces Wednesday plans for a twin headline wrestling program at the Roseburg Armory next Saturday nliht, featuring a non title match between Tex Hager and Georges Dusette. Pacific Coast Junior heavyweight cham pion. The other half of the bargain bill will match Mike Nazarrian aeainst a local newcomer, Jack Pinto, highl"-toutcd Southern California youth who has been cutting a fancy figure In the Pa cific Northwest during the past few weeks. I Hager was extremely impres-! sive here last week In defeating Billy McEuin, the tough Texan, and then teaming with Walter Achlu to decision MeEuln and Bulldo" Jackson in a tag-team tilt. Dusette, the popular and tal ented French-Canadian, refused to place his coveted crown on the block when approached by Owen in regard to a title defense against Hager. The erstwhile "Crcswcll Cyclone," reeardless of his failure to make the title-tilt grade, believes he has an excel lent chance of an eventual cham Dionshin engagement with Du sette. A victory Saturday night will go a long way In forcing the champion Into a showdown. The Hager-uusetic sKirmisn mav develop into the best scien tific battle of the season. Both possess amazing soeed and agility and they nave wcu ounaea mat technique. Dusette will hold a light weight advantage over the oopuitir little Uregonian.
