FRIENDSHIP OF AMERICA

Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American body. has written Bunji
Suzuki, president OF the Laborers
Friendly society expressing his re-
grets that he is unable TO visit
Japan on the occasion OF the 50th
anniversary of the Japanese organ
ization. Mr.. Gompers said:
While I regret that I cannot give

noting organization in Japan. l am

mote organization Of the workers in
this country and in all America. II
is our sincere hope that the labor

find extension and success until the
toilers of your country shall have
been more thoroughly organized for
their common interests.
A short time ago Mr.. Suzuqi re-
ceived the following cablegram from
Mr.. Gompers: The most important,
the immediate duty of labor move

our power upon the governments OF
Japan and the United States TO

Canton of Zurich Maps Out
Stringent Agricultural Pro-
gram to Meet Needs.

ZURICH. Switzerland, April IA
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)-The canton of Zuricn has
decided TO lead the way for the rest
OF Switzerland, and, in pursuance
Of the orders OF the Bundesrat to in
crease the agricultural production OF
the country. has resorted to radical
measures to feed the population.
Its governmental council has de-
creed that the district councils must
without delay take the following
steps looking for a record harvest:
Institute gatherings of both men
and women at which the necessity
of increased crops, especially of
grain. vegetables and particularly
potatoes, snail be discussed, and at
this end for each district shall be
pointed out.
Report the acreage available for
cultivation, and, wherever seed and
labor are on hand. begin planting
and cultivation at once.
Require all land owners to put at
least 10 per cent of il 10 potatoes.
summer grain or vegetables and to
provide. at least, for their own
needs.
Draw upon families who possess
no land to till the land of others
Confscate if necessary land not VOL
UNFAIRLY put under cultivation and
till it with the landless families.
The districts are authorized TO
draw forcibly, if necessary, upon the
labor required TO gather harvests in
each section. and TO confiscate for
the time being draught animals for
agricultural purposes.
Finally, the school authorities are
required 20 release pupils from
school duties whenever they may be
required TO fight insect or vegetable
pests.
The councils provisions carry
penalties Of fines amounting Ia 5000
francs. or three months imprison-
ment. for violation of its Tegula-
tons.
other cantons are expected 10 fol-
low Zurich's example. The whole
country is awaking TO the fact that
IL is in a position where self help
may be the only thing that can be
relied on.
Switzerland has only the port of
Cette through which neeued i'm
ports may be brought. The Bund-
esrat has vainly tried TO ind some
second port. either in or out OF the
blOckaded zone, through which II
can ration itself. There has been a
vast amount OF discussion recently
about a swiss merchant marine
but il has been realized that even IL
that be possible. il cannot be created
in the turn OF a hand. Switzerland
is now convinced that it must pre-
pare 10 support itself in a very large
degree.

Say War Must Not Let
Down Bars for Child Labor

The thirteenth national confer
ence on child labor closed it's ses-
sions at Baltimore with conviction
firmly esta blished that whatever wa,
measures this country Is Obliged TO
adopt there should be no let down in
the standards for child protection.
Time and again this note was struck

LOvejoy pointed out the vital ne
cessity OF continuing all efforts 70
further our American democratic
ideals even IL at the same time this
country must take part in the fight
for worldwide democracy. The
lowering OF standards abroad was
used by Miss Lathrop and Mr.. Love
JOY as an illustration OF the fact
that the excitement of war is fatal
10 the training and development Of
the younger generation and that
social advance is retarded and
childhood is impoverished. Or. Felix
Adler spoke of the fact that the tide
OF democracy is rising in Europe
and that the people there will turn
to us for help in the solution Of
their problems Of free government.
I'm some respects we can confident
~ point TO our example," said DR..
Adler, but do we want Russia to
adopt along with other institutions
our system Of child labor?''
The rest Of the sessions were de-
voted largely TO a discussion Of the
measures for which the federal
child labor law has paved the way.
Enforcing officials, Hon. John Price
Jackson of Pennsylvania. and Hon.
Charles ]. Fox Of Maryland, ex-
pressed their satisfaction that the

RATES
ARE CUT UNDER
Federal Land Bank Rate OF
Five Percent Boon to
Farm Borrowers.

WASHINGTON. April IA. - BY
setting a fiat rate of five per cent
interest TO be paid federal land
banks on farm mortgages given
under the new rural credits system,
the federal farm loan board has cut
under the average farm mortgage
interest rate of every state in the
Union. The farm loan act provides
that a maximum interest rate of six
per cent may be charged, but the
board feels that il can put the rate
as low as five per cent even at the
start and still make enough money
to pay the expenses of operating the
system.
The total mortgage Indebtedness
of the United States amounts to
approximately $4,000, 100000 and tho
average rate on this sum is IA per
cent. The board has fixed rate Of
IL per cent to apply on farm loan
bonds, the securities which will be
sold TO raise money to lend the
farmers on the mortgages. This
leaves a margin of one-half of one
per cent TO pay the cost of operating
the system and dividends. The board
plans ultimately TO cut this margin
as narrow as one eighth of one per
cent, on the theory that the farmer
would rather have low rates of in
terest than high dividends on his
stock.
Opponents of the farm loan act
said that the government system
would never be able TO compete with
private business in New England
because of the low rates prevailing
there. The board has fixed a rate Of
FIVE per cent. New Hampshire has
the lowest average farm mortgage
interest rate of any state and that
rate is So per cent, or higher than
the government rate. The highest
rate-105 per CENTS paid in New
Mexico. Texas and Wyoming pay, 10
per cent, while half a dozen Of the
western and southern states pay be-
tween nine and 10 per cent.
Through the north and east inter-
est rates range from 90 per cent to
between six and seven per cent.
The difference in the interest rate
fixed for the rural credit system and
by private lenders will mean $780,
600. 600 a year to the American
farmer.
Still the board expects to reduce
this rate yet lower. 1t is expected
that the cost OF operating the sys-
TEN will be higher during the first
year or two than afterward. be-
cause the whole system is new and
Il will take some time for the Of
ficers in charge OF the banks TO
learn how 10 economic.
Ultimately. however, the board be-
lieves that the system will be run
very cheapiy and that low uniform
interest rates all over the country
will enable the American farmer 10
become wealthy and increase the
nations production OF food and
other staple crops.
The general prosperity OF the
country will be increased in proper
ton. il is believed. because the
farmer will have more money with
which 70 purchase from merchants
and the funds will be passed or
along the industrial line and re-
distributed in larger amounts thar
ever before.
