An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: The
farmers of the northwest appear
to be in a state Of high consterna-
ton over the fear that the price fix
ing committee of the government
will set as low a figure as $1.65 per
bushel for wheat. On what grounds
such fears are based it has not been
made. clear. It is true that some
weeks ago Mr.. Hoover, food admins
traitor, is reported to have favored a
price OF $1.65 as covering all costs
and a fair profit to the farmer.
But this circumstance is far from
having any bearing on the price to
be named by the committee appoint
ed for this purpose. Mr.. Hoover is
not the price fixing committee. And
IL his cursory investigation led him
to favor as low a figure as reported
this need have no bearing Oh the
conclusions of the committee which
has been instructed not only TO be
fair to the farmers but to name such
a price as will stimulate the greatest
possible production next year.
That the price should ne set and
given out without consulting the
northwest farmer is another unwar-
ranted flight Of the imagination. IT
is already a matter of record that
many North Dakota and Minnesota
farmers have been asked their opin-
ion of what the price should be as
well as their estimates of cost Of
production. These estimates in gen.
eral exceeded 50 per bushel. North
west congressman have also been
consulted and their replies printed
and commented upon.
II is inconceivable that the COM
mittee of experts appointed by the
president will permit political or
prejudicial considerations to count in
their decision. The administrators
record to date in intervening in the
economic affairs OF the country war
rants no such apprehension. And
further than justice to the farmers
the price committee is charged with
the specific duty of naming a figure
that will encourage the greatest pos
sible future production.
There is none who realizes more
keenly than The Pioneer Press the
need and justice of an ample price
for wheat. For this very reason it is
beyond the power of The Pioneer
Press to. imagine that an arbitrary
and conf1scatory price will be
designated. ---.-a--..----. i

ENDING THE YELLOW PERIL"

Perhaps less will be heard Of the
Yellow Peril after the visit Of the
Japanese mission to Washington.
The Japanese are here for the ex-
pressed purpose of having the two
nations march together work to-
gether and fight together as COM
rades''.
The official response of the visitors
to the greetings Of America, was a
little fiowery. after the Oriental
fashion, but it carried the feeling Of
sincerity.
Read what Viscount Ishii said:
I'VE are here to say that in this
tremendous struggle for those rights
and liberties. America and Japan are
bound together; that when the VIC
tory of the allied forces is secure.
America and Japan should so live
that your sons and our sons will
have a certainty of good neighbor-
hood; so live that no word or deed of
either can be looked upon with sus-
picion; that venomous gossip, hired
SANDER, sinister intrigue and in
fluence. all of which we have both
been the victims, can in the future
only serve to bring US closer togeth-
er for mutual protection and for the
common welfare.
Let us see together with a clearer
vision the pitfalls dug by cunning
enemy in our path. Let us together
fix our eyes on the star of principle
which shall lead us together most
surely to a participation, in the tri-
umph of the right, to certain VIC
tory in the greatest, and, let us hope,
in the last great war in human his
tory.
"And when that victory shall have
been won. let us together help in the
upbuilding of a new world, which
shall rise, fair and strong and beau
tiful, from the ashes of the old.
Americans have been taught to
fear and distrust the Japanese. Am
erican treatment OF the Japanese
immigration question has not furth-
cred feeling of friendliness for the
United States in Japan. Fear and
distrust are the great breeders OF
war. Better acquaintance is the best
antidote to them.
America is certainly safe now from
any Yellow Peril for many years to
come. Instilling the idea that Japan
is not an enemy, but a friend, will 60
a long way toward removing that
Yellow Peril If it ever existed.
The movies to the contrary not
withstanding. every Japanese may
not be a spy for his government The
Japanese inscrutability may not al
ways cover deep scheming. 1t may
cover mere awe Of a strange country
and strange people.

News ought to come to the attention
Of the wheat price fixing board:
Hundreds of farmers in North
Dakota are now without oats to
feed their horses to enable them
to carry on their farming oper-
atoms. The drouth struck the
state a serious blow. Farmers
using most of the supplies of
feed in putting in the greatest
spring crop the state mas ever
known, depending almost entirely
upon raising sufficient feed to
continue their work during the
fall months and during the
coming spring. Right now, in
many localities, farming opera
tions have been tied up because
Of the lack of feed. The govern
ment ought to do something and
at once feed should be sent to
North Dakota and sold at cost.

CUBA AND ALsAcE.

1t is enlightening to contrast Cuba
and AIsace- Lorraine. It sums up the
whole difference between self-gov-
eminent and autocratic rule.
Cuba was taken from Spain nine
teen years ago, introduced to Ameri-
ca sanitary customs, American
education, and American systems of
self-government. She was then
turned loose to govern herself. To-
day she is offering the United States
a training ground for soldiers, in the
desire to express her neighborly
feeling and gratitude.
Alsace- Lorraine was wrested from
the French forty-six years ago, and
has been a German province since
that time. In those parts recaptured
by the French. the inhabitants
greeted the French with tears of
Joy
The country that is hated and
feared by its colonies is like the man
whose children cringe when he ap-
breaches.

CLEARING THE SKIES.

The skies are beginning to
clear and the chances seem to be
much brighter for North Dakota
getting a fair deal from the
price fixing committee.
If fair price is secured, it
will be because the members of
the committee recognized the
justice of the claims of the farm
ers, presented to them by the
farmers themselves, and through
the committee sent to Washing
ton.
1t ought to lay the foundation
for a better understanding be-
tween the country and the cities.
Their interests are so closely in
tertwined that anything but CO.
operation is unthinkable. The
incident ought to bring a little
warmer feeling of fellowship, a
little more cordially, in the re-
lations of town and country.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task OF
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The Kildeer Tribune sums up tn
case against the pro-Germans an
the malcontents thusly:
We are engaged in a serious
hand to hand combat today with
one of the shrewdest, cruelest
and craftiest nations of the
earth. We must use our, every
effort TO produce food and pro-
vide arms for the men who are
allied with US in the struggle.
The best and surest way to ter
inmate that war is to cooperate
with the government in produce
ing the food, arms, clothing and
other material that is needed to
bring the naughty foe TO his
knees for peace-lasting peace.
To do this we must not chase
after false gods. We must get
down to business and see that
the calls of the president for
men for the army are needed by
filling the ranks of the regular
army as fast as men are needed;
by supplying the Red Cross with
tangible material with which to
work, by concentrating instead
of scattering our effort; by taxi
ing upon ourselves additional
labor IL necessary that we may
release some man who can go to
the front; by subscribing for one
or more of the liberty bonds that
the government may quickly
mobilize the money Of the coun-
try when needed. BY doing
something that will count for
the government instead of re-
tard it.

Yesterday came the answer assur-

was still keeping his mind open.
Mr.. Twichell is a good two-fisted
Fighter, who has a way of getting at

one way he could have been more
effective. He should have gone to
Washington and appeared before the
committee in his threshing costume.
He would have got 81 for his wheat.

OLD LOOKS?
az BIZ. =. u. PIECE

Persons suffering from too much Uric
acid in the system frequently look
older than they should. They age
faster and the appearance of gray hair
or baldhead in early years is, indeed,
often a sign of uric acid. The face
appears lean and haggard, lines and
wrinkles appearing in young men or
women.
The best way to combat this prefnas
ture age and the obstruction to the
larteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest. Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. Obtain at any drug
store a small package of Anuric which
is to be taken before meals, in order to
iexpel the uric acid from the system. The
painful effects of baclache, lurnbago,
rheumatism. govt, due to uric acid in
the blood should quickly disappear after
treatment with Anuric.
