Japan to honor Washington's men,

REAL TEST OF THE

Great Battles for Right

(Rv Associated Press.l

Kansas City, No, Aug. 27.-That
there can be no permanent peace on
earth until rulers recognize the
teachings of Christ and hearken to
the appeal Of the Pope, was the key
note of an address here last night by
Archbishop Edward j. Hanna of San
Francisco, before the American fed
Grafton of Catholic societies.
There can be no tranquility in the
ordering of the world until men,
moved by Christ's spirit, put their
trust not in power, not in gold, not
in the possession of many things, but
in God the Father" declared Arch
bishop Hanna.
There will be no permanent abid-
ing concord Of princes and of rulers
until the men who sway the destinies
of nations recognize the great moral
sanctions of life, recognize that
mercy must season justice, recognize
the higher code taught by Christ in
accordance with which men are ruled
by moral force, recognize and listen
as the age of faith listened, to him
who. in the ways of Providence,
represents Christ upon earth, and
who by his very place in the worlds
economy is by divine appointment

lows in part:
I'VE had hoped that the wave of
blood might not reach our peaceful
shores, but those who guide the
destinies of our great nation have
decreed that in this struggle there is
a question of human rights so ap-
pealing, so sacred, so imperative that
we may not stand aside. Our Cath
clio leaders have placed themselves
clearly on record, and with no feel
ing either of fear or of hate, we,
shoulder to shoulder with our fell
lows, are today the mightiest factor
in the worlds great struggle.
AFTER months of painful thought,
we have come to our task but we
come not as men without hope. We
take our place in the worlds strug-
gle with warmth of spirit because we
feel that If we are true to our great
spiritual inheritance, true to the in
heritance which the past century re-
jected, we may bring the world again
to a realization that only in Christ
and in His teaching can there be
victory for human rights, only in
Christ can victory bring enduring
peace.

Hoover Says Food Crisis

(Ry Associated Presk.N

Chicago, Aug. 27.-In a statement
issued Saturday night H. c. Hoover
denied there is any foundation for q
statement that the food administra-
ton has any intention to fix prices
Of beef or pork products.
The administration hopes to de-
velop by discussion with representa-
tive committees of the hog producers
the cattle producers, the commission
men and the packers" the statement
says, greater stabilization of the in
dustry during the war and in such a
way as to encourage production and
to eliminate speculative profits and
risks. Action will be taken only aft
er mature consideration"
Want Federal Dictator.
Before Mr.. Hoover left Chicago he
was handed a formal request from
the packers that he appoint a fed
eral dictator Immediately to take
over entire control of the livestock
industry.
Mr.. Hoover's address before the
126 representatives of farm journals
in twenty-four states was a general
resume of conditions which led to
the appointment of food controller.
He asserted at the outset that the
food problem of the present would
have occurred whether the United
States went into the war or not,
that they are based on underlying
economic currents and disturbance
of economic forces
The shortage in European pro-
duction of foodstuffs caused by the
diversion of millions of men from
productive labor to war and the de-
pletion of the soil, has thrown upon
this nation the responsibility of in
creasing its exports Of both wheat
and meat" he said.
Speaking Of speculation and IAN
unnecessarily higher cost of living
in our Industrial centers, Mr.. Hoover
asserted that mo one has yet refuted
the fact that our farmers last year
received under $1.50 per bushel for
their wheat but our consuming popu-
lation bought their -four based on
over $3.50 wheat for a large part of
the year"
Shortages in overseas transporta-
ton of foodstuffs have brought inn
port problems to the United States
which cause a diminution in the con-
sumption of certain products-sugar
and vegetable oils for instance. Mr..
Hoover asserted vast quantities of
certain foods are now being stored in
foreign ports awaiting a return Of
peace. -E
Large Stocks of Wheat.
''It is worthy of consideration" he
said, that by the first of January
there will be 900, 100000 bushels of
wheat in Australia awaiting market
and another 100, ,o00, 900 bushels in
India, not now available to our allies.
If peace were to come or If the sub
marine were to be overcome there
would no longer be shortage in the
worlds wheat supply, but there
would be an overstock.

ports that Herbert Hoover is at
to influence the price fixing
headed by DIR. H. A. Gar
field to put price of $1.65 on the
1917 crop of wheat and gave out
copies of a telegram sent by Mr..
Hoover to The Fargo Forum which
declared that the food administrator
was offering no suggestions as to
prices.

Macmillan who was one of Rear
