fifty-eight carloads of peaches we're
dumped into st. Louis, which ordi-
narlly can absorb about fourteen or
fifteen carloads day during the
peach season. One hundred and six
teen carloads of apples struck New
York City one day last month. The
market was so glutted that apples
from North Easton, Pa, netted only
about seventeen cents per bushel AT
this time the consumer was paying
$3.50 to 50 per bushel for bad apples,
while the producer was receiving
from fourteen to seventeen cents per
bushel for good apples.
"The differential is enormous, but
1t represents wastes rather than
profits. The fault is due mostly to
lack of coordination in our econ
omic system, and scarcely at all to
the dishonesty of individuals. The
solution can be achieved neither by
prosecution of commission men nor
by elimination of them, but by or
ganization of the market, but the law

VARIOUS VIEWS ON
THE WAR EXPRESSED
OPINIONS BY REPRESENTATIVES,
OF FOUR COUNTRIES
ENGAGED

thy Associated Fress.D
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Representa-
tiYes of four countries engaged in
the European war contribute to a
current issue of Worlds Work views
on how the United States, as neu'
trail nation, can be OF the most ser
vice TO humanity. The statements,
which follow, embrace the personal
views of Sir Edward Grey, secretary
of state for foreign affairs of Great
Britain; Count Okuma, premier of
Japan, and DR.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, chancellor of the German EN-
pire, and the official Austrian view,
submitted by DR.. Constantin Theodor
Dumba, the ambassador of Austria
Hungary to the United States.
Sir Edward Grey--"If the Worlds
Work wants contribution to its cen
trail idea OF inquiring how the United
States may best serve the interests
OF civilization at this period of
change and re-defnition: how best
their immunity may be used; and
what is their opportunity. not only
selfshly, but enthusiastically, the only
thing | can say is that great ma
ton standing outside this European
conflict, should use what influences
il can on the side of right and
against wrong"
Count Okuma- it would be
both unwise and premature to ex-
press at this time any opinion as to
where and how the present war
should be or will be terminated and
peace be restored, | feel certain and,
therefore, safe to say that the ex-
periences of this titanic struggle will
bring most forcibly home TO use all
sense of the weighty burdens and
the horrible waste of war"
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hellweg-"l
have been asked by the editor OF
the Worlds Work to give an answer
to the question, how the United
States could best make its neutrality
serviceable for the purpose of help
ing the cause OF humanity during the
present terrible war. The answer
seems obvious.
"The people Of the United States
will best serve the cause of peace
and humanity by being not only neu'
trail according to the letter OF Presi'
dent Wilson's proclamation, but also
impartial in the spirit Of his further
utterances. This is the only way
to gain the confidence of the whole
world, and without this confidence
the United States cannot hope to rem
der the important services to the
cause OF humanity which 1t wishes
to render"
Official Austrian view-"When, at
ter the dreadful slaughter OF hun
dreds OF thousands, doubtless signs
of lassitude, slackening of thu
fiery warlike spirit amongst the ma
lions in arms will be perceptible
the moment win have come for Presi
dent Wilson 10 prepare once more hi
mediation to the belligerent powers
He Is then warranted in the name o
all neutral powers suffering seyerel
through the war to exercise stronl
moral pressure upon the government
of the powers at war which Nigh

themselves"
