DUTIES ON GRAIN
Vital Matters With Which Con-
greSs Has to Deal.
United States Has the Right and Is In
Position to Demand That Question
of Preferential Tariffs Shall
Be Settled at Once.

America is vitality interested In the
work of the British imperial confer
ence recently held in London. Some of
the matters dealt with by that confer
ence We're of a confidential nature, but
the nature of others has been dis
closed. For example, il is known that
the conference passed resolution APP
proving imperial preference. in the
matter of trade.
This means that the British isles
propose To give preferential, or
lower, duty TO grain imported from
Canada than on grain imported
from the United States. The British
isles constitute the chief market for
our foodstuffs. But preference
for Canadian products would take
away hundreds of millions of dollars
from the value of our farms and trans
fer that amount to the value Of Cana
dian farms, Such a measure would
cause a rush across the Canadian bor-
DER such as has not yet been dreamed
of. Such a measure would Subsidize
every American industry with large
British trade to put up factories across
the border and employ Canadian, not
American, workmen on its foreign or
ders.
Before this matter goes further our
state department at Washington should
see To II that the United States will he
treated by the British isles upon the
same basis as British colonies in this
matter of customs tariffs. That pro
vision should be accepted by the Brit
ish government now. at a time when
that government is under obligations
which II deeply feels and which il is
eager To discharge

Of the total corn supply would come
from Illinois. He said that the wheat

only substitute Is corn.
To Illustrate the extent OF the corn
crop expected from the State Of ILL
nois alone, Mr.. Rainey said:
"If IL were loaded on wagons each
holding fifty bushels, and the wagons
were fifty feet long, the train would
reach around the earth and back
again"
Representative Rainey highly praised
the patriotism Of the young men of
Illinois, announcing that II. 900 of them
had enlisted for military service with
out awaiting the draft. He said that
the State stood ready to sacrifice
$4,000 young men IL necessary. In
speaking OF the growth of the State
during the past few years, and its
future prospects, he declared:
Within the next ten years the city
OF Chicago will not only be the
metropolis of the United States. but
the leading city of the world"
The organization appropriated $50 for
the relief of sufferers in the storm
swept area of Illinois. Oscar ]. Rick

RUSSIA IS DIVIDED
ON WILSON MESSAGE
Temporary Government and Social
ist Elements at Odds Over Note.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Petrograd, June 13.-Russian feeling
on President Wilson's note empha-
sizes a cleavage between the tempor-
ary government and the Socialist ele-
ment, the mildest of which is repre-
sented by the council of deputies and
the most radical by the Bolsheviki
faction, led by Nikolai Lenine. All
the newspapers supporting the gov
ernment hail with the greatest enthu-
siasm what they term the straight
forward exposition OF characteristic
American diplomacy"
The Socialist organs, on the other
hand, accuse President Wilson of US
ing high-toned language and vague
phrases embodying principles unac-
ceptable to the Russian democracy,
and even limiting that the declaration
OF the United States government
against q policy Of imperialism and
annexations is insincere.
Such newspapers as the Rech, VOLTA
and Bourse Gazette all heartily in
dorse President Wilson's declarations,
particularly his view that the conclu-
sion of peace must be of such a ma
ture as to prevent Germany from car
rying out fresh. aggressions. The
Rech says:

Wilson's word that the war must Sc

CONFISCATED OPIUM
NOW given To ARMY
Drug Illicitly Sold Will Be Used at
the Front.

Conhscated opium will ease the suf-
ferings of wounded American soldiers
in France.
The Medical section Of the Council
OF National Defense made the point
some weeks ago that it was highly
Wasteful to destroy the large guam
titles Of opium that were confiscated
each year by the revenue service, par
dcularly now that opium and other
narcotics have advanced in cost many
times.
Large quantities OF opium deriva-
tiyes are used as anaesthetics in the
army hospitals. and there has been a
serious shortage OF these derivatives.
Until few weeks ago the large guam
titles of opium that were being con-
hscated weekly were destroyed.
The physicians in the Medical sec
tion OF the Council OF National De-
fense suggested that the revenue seTv-
ice turn over these confiscated sup
plies and this IS now being done and
considerable quantities OF the deri-
Natives are being turned over to the
medical branch Of the army.
