In the matter of getting more set
tiers on the land, the resolutions rec
ognized the excellent purpose of the
Croaser bill, but opposed that partic-
ular measure as providing perpetual
bureaucratic control, and tending to
duplicate a pendant peasantry' to
overcome the evils of tenant farming,
said to be increasing, the resolutions
call for soil surveys which will show
the exact characteristics and value of
every parcel of land in the country;
government aid to the farmer until
his land is in shape to provide him
with a living. Ready farms
are suggested, and the plan used in
Wyoming is indorsed. Supervision of
private colonization projects to pro-
tect the settler from fraud and mis-
representation, is requested and the
government is asked to appoint a
commission to look into the whole
subject, including ''the feasibility and
value of adopting in this country some
of the policies Of other countries
which have done so much to improve
agriculture Nd social conditions in
these countries"
Want Investigation.
Congress is asked to have the fed
eral trade commission investigate the
marketing of livestock and to study
whether government or comparatively
owned packing plants would stimulate
livestock prediction. The department
of agriculture is asked to extend its
work of establishing market grades so
as to cover all farm products, includ-
ing meat animals; and to enforce the
observance of these gradings at all
principal markets by the presence Of
inspectors who would also settle dis
putes as to grade between buyer and
seller.
70 A paragraph was devoted to the em-
phatic assertion that the farmers pro,
test against any embargo or export
duty on foodstuffs. A protest also was
entered against the Shields and Myers
water power bills, as failing to protect
the public interests, by failing to fix
compensation and fixing a definite
time for each water power lease to
revert to the people

economists of the colleges and the

evnerts to the number of 500, who
have been holding the fourth National
conference on Marketing and Farm
Credits here, completed their labors
today
They took up problems involving
farm finance, putting the landless
man on the manless land, efficient
marketing, conservation and rural de-
yelopment. and suggested remedial
procedure in resolutions adopted this
afternoon.
Resolutions and speeches showed
that the actual growers of grain, cat
tie, fruit and vegetables believe they
are not obtaining proper returns for
the labor and investment, because
they are no organized and do not
work comparatively; that the waste
by present methods, or the lack OF
them, is of appalling magnitude, and
makes 1t easy for the legion of mid
dlemen to initiate the cost of living;
that Europe has much to teach us
about co-0pera '4'9 II agriculture, ana
that it is up t2a~55Is less to study the
whole situation and apply remedies
accordingly.

The conference, according to its
Sponsors has at last reached a posi-
ton where something is being accom-
plished for the farmers. The farm
loan bill Is law; many states have
market commissioners, and the fed
eral government has established the
office of marketing and rural credits
to work with the states, and the dis
cussions have disclosed what the
of the system are, and
shown the way out. A government
of the livestock and
packing industry by the federal trade
commission was asked.
Market commissioners of twenty
states, named to assist the farmer and
the consumer by giving expert advice
on proper crops to raise, where to
send them what they are worth how

at sometimes has been said by
CRITICS in neutral countries that our
presence In Greece does not differ
appreeiably from the presence of the
Germans In Belgium. II is not meant
to suggest that our troops ever have
been guilty Of the eXcesses and atroc-

that the landing OF our troops at
Saloniki can no more be defended
from a Justice point of view than the
German invasion by way of Llege in
August, 1914.
Belgian Neutrality Guaranteed.
THE position Of Belgium before the
German invasion needs no eXplana-

it perfectly clear that the neutrality
of Belgium was guaranteed by certain
powers, one OF whom was Germany

"The first article of the treaty pro-
vides that Greek sovereignty should
be hereditary, so that Prince William

His descendants are on precisely the
same terms in this respect. II is the
