London, Dec ga statement pur-
porting to give in broad outline the
view taken in high British political
circles of the German peace terms Is
printed by the Daily Express. 1t says
that two things are known here, first,
that Germany does not want sepa-
rate peace with Russia, but general
peace. and second, that Germany fears
Bolshevik influence, being afraid of its
effect on the German working classes.
"A stiff upper lip is the attitude in
this country at present" the state
ment declares. "The peace terms are
not sufficient to lead US TO lay down
our arms. We must be watchful. 1t is
up to Germany to show that she is
sincere"

Germany desires general peace and
does not want separate peace with
Russia.

The foreign minister said Germany
was seeking TO protract the negotia-
tons with the Russians, reestablish-
ing commercial relations In the mean
time. believing that in this way the
Bolsheyiki might be checkmated later.
Referring to the terms which the CEN
trail powers offered to the Russians
as published today he said:
Germany is trying TO involve US
in her Maximalist negotiations. After
suffering as we have, we cannot ac-
cept peace based on the status quo.
By agreement with our allies We are
ready to discuss direct propositions
regarding peace but this is indirect.
Russia Not Spokesman.
Russia can treat for separate
peace with our enemies or not. In
either case the war for us will con

Not Fair to New Mexico.

An Associated Press dispatch
recently printed carried the per
capita contributions OF the
different states to the Red Cross
fund. The per capita contribu-
ton credited to New Mexico was
10 cents which would have
meant the total contributed by
the state was only $35, 600. Col
fax and Bernalillo counties alone
gave a total greater than this.
The Council of Defense has
wired the chairman of the Red
Cross, asking that a corrected
statement be given to the press.
Request was made also that the
total amount subscribed by New
Mexico be wired to the Council
so that the false impression
might be corrected thruout the
state. Each chapter reports d.
rect to national headquarters in
New York, hence il has not been
possible to tabulate the figures
in this state.

Marketing Beans to
be an Easy Matter

Marketing Of the largest bean
crop New Mexico has ever pro-
duced should be a comparatively
easy matter according TO infor-
nation coming from dealers and
brokers in the eastern states.
The fact that New Mexico was
fourth in bean production in the
United States last season at
tracted the attention of bean
dealers all over the country who
have been asking for samples of
the New Mexico Pinto bean.
Writing to the State Publicity
Bureau recently Peabody & Co..
merchandise brokers of Boston,
make the following interesting
statement:
During the last two or three
years, there have been extensive
importations of Manchurian
beans and each year there have
been quite large carry-overs of
these beans on account of the
poor quality of some of them.
We believe that a great deal of
this importation can be cut out
just as soon as buyers all over
this country understand the
quality of Pinto beans, and as
soon as buyers become aware of
the superiority of Pinto beans,
we believe large quantities of
them can be sold in the east"
