from Europe and his address was full
of personal experiences, which en-
hanced the value Of his remarks con
siderably.
Asking the question what can We
do to bring about peace" he answered
it by stating that the people of this
country, as being the largest neutral
should begin a propaganda of peace
sentiment which should make itself
felt and regarded by our national gov
ernment. The cumulative voice thus
heard would hearten the president in
his work and would be an Offset to the
noisy jingoish of the armament man
ufacturers.
He next suggested that at the time
of the meeting of the official represen'
tatives of the governments in the
peace conference which must come
sooner or later, that labor organiza-
tions, fraternal orders, church socie'
ties, woman's clubs, business mems
organizations and so on meet at the
same time and in the same place as
the treaty makers and by strenu'
GUS campaign of the best educative ef'
fort bring pressure to bear upon the
signers of that treaty to demand such
terms that war will become an i'm
possibility in the future. Already the
labor organizations and the woman's
clubs are planning for such meetings
The third division Of Mr.. Lochner's
address consisted of the presentation
of the Peace Leagues program which
follows: ..&
This convention believes that the
following principles must find accep
tance among peoples and governments
to ensure the future peace of the
world, and to this end recommends a
nationwide discussion of them:
/. Foreign policies of nations should
not be aimed at creating ALLIANCES fol
the purpose of maintaining the "bal
ance of power" but should be directed
to the establishment of Concert OF
Nations" with
(a) An international court for the
settlement of all disputes between ma
tions;
(b) An international congress, with
legislative and administrative power
over international affairs, and with
permanent committees in place oi
present secret diplomacy;
/ (c) An international police force;
(bs The embodiment in information
al law of the principle of non-inter
course, as the sanction and enforce
ment Of international obligations.
2. The gradual reduction and fina
abolition of national armaments
should be accomplished upon the adop
ton Of this peace program by a suf1
cient number Of nations, or by nation:
of sufficient power to ensure protec
tion to those disarmed; such reduction
should be gradual in each nation &C
cording to the degree Of disarmament

effected in other nations, and shoult
be progressive until complete aboli
tion is finally attained.
| 8. The manufacture of .armaments
for private profit should be prohibited
and the export of munitions of wal
from one country to another should
be directly under government control
4. The protection of private prop
erty at sea, of neutral commerce and
of communications should be secured
by the naturalization of the sea, and
of such maritime trade routes as the
Dardanelles and the Panama and Suez
Canals.
5. National and international action
should be aimed at the removal of in
equitable trade barriers and other
more fundamental economic causes
of war.
s. The democracies of the world
should be extended and reinforced by
general application of the principles
of self-government and of universal
adult suffrage.
7. No province should be transfer
red from one government to another
without the consent of the population
of such province.
No. 8. No treaty, alliance, or other
arrangement should be entered upon
by any nation, unless ratified by the
representatives of the people; treat
les for securing delay before commenc-
ing hostilities, and adequate machin-
cry for insuring democratic control of
foreign policies should be created.
Luther College Band Thursday
The Luther College Concert band
and chorus, which will be heard at the
Chautauqua Thursday is one of the
best known of the country's bigger
bands.
1t played in the Pacific Northwest in
1906 and in 1911, while in the follow
ing year it played in every large city in
the country. Last year, when Norway
celebrated the Tooth anniversary of
her independence, the band toured
that country, playing 125 concerts, fol-
lowing them with a series of concerts
in every capital of Europe. The tour
Of the band was almost triumphal.
There are 63 members in the band
and 81 in the chorus. Carlo A. Sperati,
distinguished musician, is director,
and it is under his tutelage that the
band has become such a success.
Reports from San Francisco and Los
Angeles and Portland where the band
has played, are that it has met with
tremendous success. An extended en-
gagement was given to the Luther
band by the Panama-Pacific exposition,
and it played at the Choral Union
Saengerfest in San Francisco.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
hree western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. p. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $762, 900 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date The
increase in c. p. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851, 200, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. r. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. T. r. and the G. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the W. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
416,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are "go-
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 10Th, when since shipments
" LAC new SAOp DSSdA aug
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
