4 1onGRAkGE PREDICTION.

Mr. James - Patten, the Chicago Board of
Trade speculator, made a lOng-range prediction
when lie said to the Flour Mems Club 81 pre-
dict that high prices will prevail all over the
world for a year TO come in wheat, and that
red winter wheat (soft wheat will sell as high
lin America a year from now as ii is selling
to-day" Perhaps 1t Will be as high year
hence as it is now, but that Will depend upon a
variety of conditions about which only guess
is possible. IT will depend on the weather, not
only here but in all other wheat growing cOun-
tries. and no one has yet been able TO predict
weather all over the world months ahead If
there is a bumper crop Of wheat Mr. Patterns
predictions will not be realized.
His prophecy is based upon the assertion that
the production of wheat in the United States
has not kept pace with the increase of popua-
ton But that disparity is not what causes the
high price of wheat this year. The high price
is due to the short crop in all the other wheat
producing countries. This has not been a nor
NAL year The next year may or may not be
normal But the increase in the price of wheat
cannot he regarded as permanent. The law Of
supply and demand to which Mr. Patten appeals
would prevent that.

Britain should have much more than mere

blame upon any one power simply because 1t
happens to have at present larger navy than
some other. Germany may say-though we are
not aware that she does-that she will stop
building warships If Great Britain will There
is still more reason for Great Britains saying

with Liberian affairs at all. Since America did
not do that, however but, on the contrary, main
tained toward Liberia for many years an attl-
tude of indifference and neglect, there Is no
occasion for resenting the action of the other
powers even though the United States Is mus

The interests of Great Britain and France are
obvious. They are based upon the proximity OF
their African colonies to- Liberia and upon their
considerable trade with the latter country. we
have no colonies there but we have the historic
fact that Liberia itself was originally an Amer1-
can colony. and we ought to have developed I'M
portant trade relations with that coast. 1t Is
not altogether too late to do some of the things
which ought to have been done continuously dur
ing many years past, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the present practical manifestation
of interest in Liberia will be followed by unre-
mittng and successful efforts TO cultivate and 10

SOME POWERS AND LIBERIA.

The correspondence between the British and
American governments concerning Liberia which
has been made public, and some portions of
which were reproduced in our columns the other
day forms an agreeable reminder of the friendly
relations which exist between these two powers
and of the entire cordiality with which they
are enabled if not actually to cooperate, at least
TO work simultaneously and side by side for the
rehabilitation and progress of the little African
republic
AT the same time, it causes some feeling Of
regret at the remissAess, or At least the delay,
which permitted not only Great Britain. but
also France TO anticipate this country in under
taking that work. In view of the historical in
teresJ of America in Liberia should surely
have been first in giving practical aid in her
affairs. Indeed this country might well have been
the only one TO do so, giving aid SO promptly
and adequately that there would have been no
occasion for any other power to concern itself

ARGUMENTS on ARMAMENTS.

There was much that was convincing and with
which the thoughtful part of the world will
gratefully agree in the remarks which were
made by DR.. Butler of Columbia University at
Lake MohOnk on Wednesday on naval expan-
sion, and particularly on the naval rivalry be-
tween Great Britain and Germany. Perhaps
his characterization of the prevailing British
state of mind may seem somewhat extreme. 1t
is quite possible for soliCitude and anxiety to be
exaggerat ted without becoming "emOtOnal in
sanity and we are by no means sure that SINH
lar states Of agitation have not been produced
in other countries by causes no more legitimate
than those which are operative in the
United Kingdom. We may, however, concede
that British fears Of losing the mastery OF the
sea TO Germany greater than facts warrant,
and that British suspicious of Germany's mo-
tives in so greatly increasing her feet are not
adequately grounded A recent letter from our
own London correspondent, from Hamburg.
strongly set forth what Dir. Butler has now
repeated, that the German people have no
thought of going To with Great Britain.
We believe that to be quite true and we cor
daily second the desire expressed by DR.. Butler,
whic has indeed. often hitherto been expressed
in these columns. that better understanding
may be created between those two great peoples
which shall assure the prevalence of mutual
confidence and lasting peace.
1t will be obvious to the discerning reader.
however. that in one particular DR. Buffers ar
gument outran his own intent He said, and in
that We fully agree with him. that the intensive
application of the discoveries Of theoretical
science TO industrial processes has made Ger
many in a sense the worlds chief teacher in the
great international school of industry and COM
merce and that with this oversee trade expan-
sion has come the building of German navy.
The commercial expansion of Germany in the
last third of century has, indeed, been one of
the wonders of the world. and it is only reasona-
bic and Just that it should be followed and in
deed accompanied by a proportionate increase
of naval strength Therefore. it is argued-and
we shall not dispute the legitimacy of the argu-
ment-that it is unjust TO assume that the object
of German navy building is military and ag
gressve above that of any other nation. On the
contrary, it is TO be conceded that Germany has
full nse for her navy, large it is and rapidly
as il is growing, as a mona aggressive and peace
