NO TIME FOR POLITICAL
CHARLATkNISM

If Republicans in Congress think
they are going to make political
capital for themselves by introduce
ing resolutions designed to embar-
rass the administration in it's con-
duct Of the foreign relations of this
country they are very much mis-
taken. Senator Gallinger is the
latest offender. He would have
Congress adopt resolutions that in
effect woulu question the good faith
of Japan's assurances to the United
States with regard to China and the
Pacific.
The American people are in no
mood to permit politicians to trihe
with the delisate international re-
%lations of this country in this great
crisis. What Japan has declare
her intention Of doing is wholly
within her rights. We may not
agree with Japan's contention that
Germany's China leasehuld is a
menace To the peace o. the Far
East, but she has done nothing and
cOntemplatcs nothing, that leopard
lies any American interest.
If there is one thing upon which
the people of the United States are
determined it is that this country
shall not be drawn into war or into
serious complications with any ma
ton. They will make short shrift
of politicians who do anything to
embarrasss the administration in
carrying out a policy of neutrality

NOW IS TINE 10
BUY WINTER COAL

Right now is the time when
farmers should buy their winter
supply Of coal. Prices have al eady
advanced slightly but not so much
as will inevitably be the case later
on. The roads are in the best pos
sible conditions for hauling the coal
from the mine or from the town.
Taking everything in consiiera-
tion 1t is a surprise to US that more
farmers do nat take advantage of
the existing conditions and buy at
this time. Three or four n%eighbors
eight or ten, or all members OF a
farmer club can order coal by the
carload.
When the car reaches the near
est point to the farmer buyers they
can haul 1t direct from the car to
their bins thus eliminating COM
pletely all extra charges, including
the heavy toll of teamster hsulage.
By this means. eve adding the
cost of freight, the winters supply
of coal is secured SO cheaply that
there is a saving of g large sum to
each family and they know they are
all getting the same brand of roal.

BENEFITS FROM
WAR FOR j. S

The war in Europe will probably
bring economic advantage to the
United States. 1t will enable it to
sell its great crops in places which
wi! give d much greater income
than if there was no war.
Almost every industry will de-
rive more or less advantage. Ameri
can investors and bankers should
get in much profit from the ability
to buy back from Europe great
quantities of secuI tiles at attractive
prices in payment for the foodstuffs
and raw material exported from
the United States.
The United States can hecomc, as
it has this week, the worlds great
est market for capital, and If the
American people rise to their op.
portunity they can do a great deal
to mitigate the disastrous economic
consequences which would other.
wise result in many countries from
a great European war.
1t is obvious that for the time
being the mnney markets of Europe
will be closed to the demands for
new capital Of Canada, Brazil. Ar
gentina, Mexico and other cour-
tries, and at such a time the pres
tige of the United States would be
immensely enhanced if it were to
take the place of Europe and meet
the pressing needs of these Dor
rowing coutries.
1t is possible that the United
States may participate in the great
loans that will have to be raised in
Europe if almost the whole CONT.
ncnt becomes engaged in war.
Possibly the participation will be
indirect rather than direct.
For the United States to gain
benefit from the position as the
wealthiest nation in the world, IL is
essential that American investors
should not only have confidence in
the future of their own country,
but also believe that, war or no
war, tho world will continue to
progress.
In brief n great war in Europe
will give the United States an OPP
~portunity of assuming the post of
world banker, by supplying capital
freely TO countries and individuals
in all parts of the globe who need
it and q provide the required Sc
curity. Should the American people
take advantage Of the golden op.
%rortunity, Of assuming the post of
world banker, afforded them by
the outbreak Of the war IL will
mean not diminished but increased
prosperity for the United States

OUR UNTOUCHED RICHES

States, will be a vastly greater de-

al resources. We have been depend.
irg upon Europe for a great many
things which we have locked IN
or own treasure vaults. Accord.
ing to Secretary Lane IF the Inter-
ior Department, it is entirely posi-
BILE 10 utilize these resources and,
with the European supply shut off
or curtailed, American capital and
Industry will urn to the develop
ment OF our own. The United
States occupies an unique position
among nations, in that it can make
itself practically Independent of the
rest of the world if it has II mind
to. In other words, there is hardly
anything imported that we cannot
produce, though many things, Of
cnIrse, not rs economically rs they
are produced elsewhere.
Fertilizers for instance, need not
necessarily be imported. We have
depended, with the rest Of the
world, very largely upon the mines
of Germany for u supply of pot
ash salts and the war has cut off
this supply, but we have large de-
posts of potash in a California re-
serve which can he Immediately
opened and developed if a bill now
before Congress to make these sup
plies available is enacted. The
Southern States have for wears
largely supplied the world with
phosphatcs and still possess an al
most ineXhaustible supply in addi-
ton to which there are 5000, 900
acres Of undevelop I'd phosphate
land in the West. AS to the third
great element OF commercial fer
~tilizers, Chile has held a practical
world monopoly of the most readily
available nitrogen in its great nj
trate beds. but if this supply should
be cut off. Secretary Lane points
out that we can draw nitrogen from
the air and fix it with lime by the
use of a large electrical develup-
ment, as is done at Niagara Falls
and in Norway, and in which the
great unused water powers Of the
western states can be utilized. .
Many other industries, besides
that of agriculture, now dependent
upon Europe Tor certain raw ma
terials, will be obliged to turn to
undeveloped native resources.
When they have found the domestic
supply and begun its use they are
not likely to return 10 dependence
upon :hc foreign supply. Hence
the European war will, in q meas
ure. bring about a new Declaration
of independence for these United
States. We will not in future be
dependent upon foreign ships TO
carry Jul commerce, nor foreign
lands to produce our raw materials.

!. S. LADS WORLD
IN MINRAL R SOURCES

The value Of the mineral produc-
ton of the United States now
reaches 50, 500, OOO, 900 a year
Though this value falls far below
that Of the country's farm product.
the magnitude and scope Of our
mineral industry may be best meas
sured by comparing on mineral
production with that of other coun-
tries, no one of which can compete
with as in abundance and variety
of mineral resources, says Bulletin
500 Of the United States geological
survey.
The United States mines nearly
40 per cent of the worlds output of
coal and produced 65 per cent of
the petroleum in 1919. Of the
more essential metals 40 per cent
Of the worlds output of iron is
raised from American mines and
the smeltGrs of the United States
furnish the world with 55 per cent
Of its copper and at least 80 per
cent Of its lead and zinc. These
are the raw materials on which has
been founded n great metallurgical
industry, but on which can be built
much mure extensive and chemical
and metal working industries.
A glance at the statistics Of min
eral imports affords a mean Of
comprehending in a broad way how
great and complex is the task Of at
tanning national independence in
the mining, metallurgic and ,hemi-
cal industries. Last year the luz
ports of mineral products. both
crude and manufactured, exceeded
$270, 900 900. OF this total prob
bly, 5000, 900 900 represents the
raw material and crude metals,
the. value Of these products being
only per 8 cent Of the domestic
output. In this list Of imports the
larger items named in the order of
value arc manufactured copper,
precious stones, nitrate of soda,
copper orc and matte, nickel. tin,
iron ore. pig iron and steel, petrol
cum products, manganese ores and
alloys, platinum, aluminium pyrite,
graphite stone, potash and magnes-
tie.
This country has an abundant
supply of most Of these mineral
products that are now imported IN
large amounts. AS to them, il can
be independent of foreign coun.
tries. The only essential minerals
Of the first rank Of hich the Unit.
cd States has no known supply al
all commensurate with It's needs
are nitratrs. potash salts, tin nick
81, and platinum, the list thus com
prising two essential mineral fer
tiIizers and three very useful met
ais. Probably no other nation in
the world so nearly approaches alb
solutc independence in respect to
mineral resources.
