Regulating Allies Trade
After the War.

That economy conference held in
Paris is likely to be rs important to the
world as the war itself. perhaps more
~far-reaching thar any one Incident OF
The war. English newspapers arriving
in this country are giving much space
to the reports of the conference.
From the london Spectator we
quote:
After a general statement that the en-
pires OF central Europe. having forced a
military contest upon US. are HOW prcpar-
ing FOR one on the economic plane, and
that the allies cannot conceal from them
selves that the object of the central DOW
ers Is domination over the production
and the markets Of the whole world and
the Imposing on other countries of an in
the duty OF the allied governments. The
delee ates express their intention of adj
vising their governments to adopt the
measures requisite to secure for them
selves ard for the neutral countries full
economic independence and respect for
sound commercial practice. and. further.
to facilitate the organization Of a perma-
nent basis of their economic alliance.
From these ~recitals the agreement pro-
ceeds to the measures recommended. The
f1rst OF these deals with the period of the
war. and can be briefly summarized
as specific proposals for making more eff
the laws against trading with the enemy.
The only novel item is the agreement to
devise means for cancell.ng uncondit. on
ally contracts entered into with enemy
subjects. Next follow trans;tory meas
ares for the period Of reconstruction i'm
snediateiy following peace. These meas
nres are chiefly Of n remedial kind. and
for making restoration OF the ravaged
countries q first claim upon the activity
Of the allies.
Next comes a very wise declaration
that, since the war has put an end to all
the treaties of commerce between the al
lies and enemy powers, and since the lib
erty of rome Of the allies should be ham,
pered by any claim put Onward by the
enemy powers to most characterization
treatment. 1.-THE allies agree that the
benefit of this treatment shall not b.
granted TO those powers during a number
at years to be fixed by mutual agreement
among themselves" That Is a sound pro-
viso. Tn INSTRUMENTATION clause
IN the commercial PIE which It is not safe
to Q power like Germany.
Then comes a clause made necessary by
the action OF Germany. The allies agree
20 preserve their natural resources for the
allied countries during the reconstruction
period. They undertake to facilitate the
Interchange Of those resources. In order
70 defend themselves from the risk Of
economic aggression on the part OF the
enssny countries which might result from
competttion they decide to hx by agree
ment = period during which the
Of the enemy powers shall be submit1e6

Of democracy in thousands of men who will seek
entrance into the United States when peace is
declared.
The largest influx of immigrants Mr.. Howe
pointed out, may be expected from Russia and
the Balkan states while Great Britain and Aus
tria- Hungary also will have trouble keeping their
people. He said we might also expect many from
other countries whose business has been ruined
by the war;
There is rapidly developing in the United
States, according to Mr.. Howe, what he termed a
labor vacuum" and we must be prepared for
the exodus of many foreigners now here who
will return to Europe at the end of the war to
learn what has become Of their relatives In a
year SO, he predicted, there will be work for
everybody and conditions for the laborer will be
better than at any time since the Civil war.

First Wayne County Corn Show

Wayne county has joined the national move
ment for the promotion Of better farming. On
Friday and Saturday of this week, the first an
nual corn show of the county will be held here.
The purpose Of this show and Of those held
throughout the United States is to promote in
tensive farming, j. e., to encourage the produc-
ton of as big crop as is possible from every
acre the farmer tills
The scope Of a corn show is not restricted to
farmers only. It includes every resident Of a
city or town. The prosperity Of our nation de-
ponds upon the farmer. If he is unable to produce
sufficient crops to satisfy local demands and GER
tain foreign demands, prices of foodstuffs in this
country must necessarily rise.
Every citizen of Richmond ought take it upon
himself to visit this show and see what quality of
corn Wayne county is able to raise. The fertility
of Wayne county soil is well known throughout
the state, but it is doubtful if every citizen of
Richmond knows what high grade crops are pro-
duced here. The corn show will serve as an ex-
eellent educational medium for farmers and city
dvellers.
