Labor Party Could Give
Most Useful Help

The Labor party organizations
throughout the country could volun-
tarily give most useful help in all these
matters. by advising as TO the facts
and circumstances in their particular To-
cality. In dealing with difficulties. it is
always wise 10 act immediately upon
any simple system if that system
covers 70 per cent 20 80 per cent Of the
whole difficulty, and as it is clear that
rationing through shops without tick
cts, but using the shopkeepers as gov
eminent agents when they are dispos-
ing of the first necessities, is practical
BILE, this could be done at once.
In the matter of publicity the Press
Bureau would also keep in constant
touch with the headquarters thinking
staff, and here the Prime Minister
would be likely TO receive some valua-
Bile advice. An order could be issued,
certainly in this country, and the ex-
ample would probably be followed in
all the Allied countries. making it
illegal for any issue of any paper 20
be made which did not contain in
prominent form the Allies declaration
of war purpose.
Do not let US deceive ourselves. II

Russian Farmers
Hold Wheat; Have
No Faith in Money
Problem Difficult for Govern
ment, Which Fears Grain
Will Spoil
rcorrespond.ncs Of The Associated Pr,'l


Petrograd, July Glow is Russia TO
induce its peasant farmers 70 part with
their precious stocks of wheat? That
is the question which is wrinkling the
brow of the Minister Of Supply, NJ
Peshekbonof. Discussing the subject
before the All-Russian Congress OF
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates, he
said:
"The greatest difficulty Of the food
situation lust now is that the peasants
refuse 10 give up their wheat. In the
old DAVIS wheat was TO be had IN eX-
change for money But now money. is
cheap. and there is little 70 be got for
II. The peasant is therefore extremely
unwilling TO exchange his wheat FOR
mere money. The peasant populatloh
has lost its faith In money, and sticks
70 the one thing which it has in its
hands.
There are plenty OF things which the
neasant needs more than he needs his
wheat. but unless you can make those
things available TO him in his markets
You won't be able TO get his wheat. The
forcible seizure Of wheat from many
million peasants is impossible. Yet
something must be done to prevent
starvation incur cities. II starvation
should come TO Petrogrsd, no power on
earth could prevent the collapse OF
whatever government happens TO be in
power.
1.-THE task before the Ministry OF
Supply. then, is 20 secure for the peas
ants supplies Of manufactures and
wares which they need. IL Is getting
back to first principles Of barter. The
task will be difficult because Of the
lack Of raw materials and the disor-
ganization of industry. Meanwhile,
the peasants are hiding their wheat In
caches SO unsuitable that serioJs loss
is certain 20 result"

BY .00l.
Not only the Allied world, but a
great number Of men and women in
enemy countries, are never free from
anxious and tragic speculation as TO
the thoughts which now direct the
minds of NJ. Ribot, President Wilson
and Mr.. Lloyd George.
II is clear that IL these three men,
who not only represent but inspire
and carry with them a vast and over
whelming majority Of their country
men, could now arrive at definite, de-
! tailed and final agreement as to the
objective of the war and the methods
to be pursued in conducting II, their
complete unity of purpose would
hasten the end and produce IN the
hearts and minds of our adversarles
such a sense OF inevitability OF ulu-
mate failure as to strike at the very
roots of enterprise within them.
As an army places its faith IN It's
commander in chief. nation IN time
of war gives an unmeasured and UNI
qualified support to its leader. An UNI
challengeable and indisputable unity in
Allied thought and action is now so
obviously an urgent and imperative ne,
cessity that any delay on the part OF
the Allied leaders in securing instantly
in their favor the immense force and
influence which a joint declaration OF
their objective and methods would at
once confer seems inexplicable:
Daily and, IL necessary, hourly tele-
graphic conversations should now rahe
whose hands Fate has placed the des-
TIMES of untold numbers, and IN inc
name of the cause which they mold
sacred and for the sake OF world ~
agony. they must break through all
the barriers imposed by precedent aho
all that has gone before, and make q
declaration TO the world, upon WHICH
thew will stand or fall. When TINS
be done, and every hours delay VIII
be measured unquestionably IN the
terms of death and pain, the resource
of the Allies must be moblilzed py the
maximum conception. In war tne may
mum conception leads to minimum
loss. If the German government Is
not disposed to yield TO a solemn dec
iaration of Allied purpose, men, minds
money and materials must be nung
into the scale. and the Allies must be
nrenared if necessary TO go out OF
business until the cause is won:

Must Not Hesitate
To Take Prussian Challenge

To sum IN. the position is as clear as
MONDAY. There must be no waverlng.
There is no occasion for doubt. VI.
Ribot, President Wilson and Mr.. Lloyd
George must announce TO the world
their Just declaration of the Allied war
purpose.
If the imperial German government,
with this solemn declaration before
their eyes, determine to continue the
fight. there must not be a moments
hesitation. The Allied powers must at
once decide to go TO war guided by the
spirit of maximum conception. The IN
comparable daring of America will in
spire and lead. Only in this way can
you hope to impose your will upon the
enemy and hasten the termination OF
the struggle. Fail to do this, and your
failure. with all it's tragic consequences,
will carry with it the curses of the
human race.
