MAXIMUM PRICES
Shall the Farmers Have a
Price Guarantee?

Wnlle lneTc Is l1uCu tdih anu iluCii
published in regard to price regula-
ton, the farmer anxiously awaits an
nouncement OF a price guarantee.
The city man may be concerned re-
garding the high cost Of living, but
the farmer is Just as deeply concern
ed as to how little he will be paid fer
his products. II he is to sow double
his customary acreage Of wheat, using
s. seed, he wants to be assured that
he viii at least have an opportunity to
make legitimate profit A guaran-
tee Of, say, $3.50 per bushel for the
wheat harvested in 1918 will do more
toward increasing the acreage OF
wheat to be sown next fall than all
the literature rural mail-carrier is
capable of transporting.
While the farmers credit is limited
there are many who could, by mort
gaging their farms, have ample CAPT.
tai to vastly increase operations;
granting that the price guarantee has
been given, and that the capital is
available with his farm for security.
What if unfavorable weather, chinch
bugs, Hessian fly, or any OF the hum
dreds of limiting factors in wheat
production destroy his crop He will
find himself without the anticipated
profit, and if ne has mortgaged to the
limit, without a home or place OF
business.
Thoughtful farmers are considering
all sides of the question. They are
patriotic, possibly more so than the
average city dweller, and while they
see a chance for great profit, yet they
see many chances for as great and
far more vital losses. The federal
government, through the various
State agricultural extension depart
ments partially supported by funds
available through the Smith-Lever
bill, is seeking to organize the farm
ers of the country.
The organization is accepted by a
portion of the farmers as an opportu-
nity to do their bit, and as creating
mouthpiece through which they can
be represented in the affairs of the
nation. But majority of the farm
ers look on the project with suspicion
and are reluctant to join.
The cost Of implements, the scare
ity of help and. the increased. cost,
both in wages and in board, discour-
ages increased operations. Ifregula-
ton applies to farm products, Why
cannot il spply to farm implements?
II the Government can buy our wheat
this year, why can't it do so every |
year? If the city man loans me mon
ey and my crop fails, he has my farm
and his interest and | have nothing.
If seed wheat is worth IS a, bushel,
why should l sow great acreage Of
il, when that represents more than
the average profit make from an
acre Of wheat? All these questions
seem unreasonable to student Of
conditions, but the majority Of farm
ers are not students of conditions
and those who seek to incite him
to increased production will find
their pathway easier if they will
at least have replies to some of the
questions which the taciturn farmer
is asking himself, whether he pro-

Berlin via London, Nov. 30.-Chan.
cellor Won Hertling's maiden speech in
the reichstag aroused nation wide
hopes today that peace with Russia
would come before Christmas. Ger
man newspapers express qualification
at the outlook.
The chancellor's speech declared his
willingness for Germany to negotiate
peace with Russia the moment that

tied ENJOYS to Berlin, authorized to
act. The Trotzsky- Lenine proposals.

ible of discussion ON which negotia-

Of the rsichstag chamber. PArticu-
lar APPROPRIATION was expressed for
his laudation of unity among the CEN
trail powers and his approval of the

ELECTORAL REFoRMs.
The chancellor declared that q

tQral reform in Prussia had been
urged by the kaiser himself and in
this connection he repudiated the idea
that there was the slightest break In
the unity of the German people.

DIFFERENCE IN THE
VIEWS OF WILSON
AND BRITISH LORD
By J. w. r. MASON.

New York, Nov. 30.-America's att
tude toward Lord Lansdowne's plea for
re-statemeht Of the allies peace
terms will determine whether the end
Of the war has been brought nearer by
the spirit Of the Conservative leader in
the house Of lords.
It L. no secret that President Wilson
desires that a formal statement of the
allies terms be made as the result Of
the present Paris conference. But
there 10 q possible difference between
President Wilson and Lord Lansdowne
that may mako their views irreconcil-
ible. The presidents reply to the
pope's peace proposal declared that the
United States could not take the word
of the present rulers OF Germany in
peace negotiations. Lord Lensdowne's
statement is capable Of the interpre-
tation that he Is willing to do so.
POINT OF DIVERGENCE.
This point marks q divergence be-
tween the Lansdowne spirit and the
Wilson spirit Nevertheless, Lord
Lansdownes open support of a re-
statement Of the allies war aims. indi-
Gates that the American delegates 70

coed in their desire to place publicly
on record exactly what the democratic
nations Of the world are lighting for.
Announcement of this character
would fall in with Lord Lansdowne's
proposal but It need not follow his
suggestion to the end.
President Wilson's purpose would
doubtless be served II the allies were
formally to declare that their terms
were subject to negotiations only with
representatives Of the German people
responsible to the reichstag and not
with agents responsible solely to the
kaiser.
At oPPoRTUNE MOMENT.
Lord Lansdowne's declaration un-
auestionably comes at an. opportune
moment tor the new Russian govern
ment. It oan readily be interpreted As
justifying the peace movement within
Russia In this respect Lord Lans-
downe's influence may serve to check
the growing attitude of severity in Ger.
tain allied circles toward tho great en-
barrassment the Russian revolution 1,

negotiation should come suddenly, II
