enterprise part of the world, of
which, next after us, Britain is
the leader.
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

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

his breast and shouts: "Why
should we loan more money to

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.
