Draws New Parallel
Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive board Of the federation meet
ed a new element into the discussion oy
drawing a parallel between industrlS,i
and international arbitration. Compui-
sorry Investigations have failed to settle
strikes, he said, and, therefore, aroitra-
tion also would be inadequate to set

the reason that obstacles TO Industrial
peace are the same in miniature as
those which prevent peaceful settle
ment Of international disagreements;
Owen Il. Lovejoy, representing the
American Union Against Militarism,

pending military training measures

ing for, citizens, but actual enlistment
"The military profession" he SAID
ais one which the world should try to
get along without. Unless military
training points 20 war, it points TO us

a useless occupation
Eighty per cent Of the automobile
manufacturers in the United States
have pledged themselves TO turn their
plants over to the government Tor the
manufacture of war materials the day
this nation declares war or has war
declared upon il, according to Howard
T.. Coffin. chairman of the Industrial
organization committee of the National
Courcil of Defence. who addressed the
associations banquet in the Aston last
night.
Plants TO Make Munitions
Plans are being drawn, he said, so
that the automobile concerns can
change at once from the manufacture
of automobiles TO munitions and war
materials. II is proposed that each
plant shall be provided with the neces-
sary equipment and 20 make certain
kind of war material.
The European war has taught, Mr..
Coffin said, that two years is required
TO change industry from a peace to
war footing With the prearrange-
ment of plans it is hoped that the
United States could be producing ITS
maximum Of war products before that
time.
Talcott Williams, the POSTMASTER, IN
PRODUCING Mr.. Coffin. said:
"The United States has now TO decide
and must decide when the close of the
war comes whether it is to continue TO
limit its efforts its policy and its read
mess to use its military strength to
securing the peace of the Western
Hemisphere alone or of the world. A
decision so momentous. so certain. so
immediate, calls for the use of every
means to awake, to instruct and to
vocalizc public opinion. The expert
ence Of this federation has made us
aware that this can best be done by
great national conferences in which
American citizens meet who represent
all that makes up the American people.
With all the honest doubt and funda-
mental difference which exist on this
overarching issue. the National Civic
Federation proposes a national confer
oncc on this question"

A WISE CHOICE

President Wilson is to be highly commended for his wise choice in naming Ex-Governor Hunt as conciliator represent ing the Federal Government, in the recent strike troubles in this state.

A Word from Hayden

The News is in receipt of a letter from Congressman Carl Hayden in reply to our editor ial expressing the hope that our representatives at the na- tional capital would be active in their support of Food Con- trol bill. MT. Hayden assures us that he has done his utmost in helping secure the passage of the Lever Bill which has the control of food and food prices as it's aim. He states the ob- jects of this bill as follows:
 "To clear the channels of distribution and to prevent hoarding.
 "To prevent the willful de- struction of necessaries in order to enhance the prices or re- strict the supply.
 tTe eliminate injurious spec ulation.
 'To regulate exchanges and boards of trade in order to pre- vent manipulation.
 ''To prohibit the use of food in the manufacture of alcohol ic beverages"
 This outline covers the bill as passed by the house, and certainly reflects to the credit of Congressman Hayden and the other representatives who secured it's passage. The Sen ate has since passed the bill, after amending it in a way to cripple its effectiveness. How ever, even as passed by the Senate, the bill should prove of great benefit to the people if put into effect immediately before the spectators get in their mischief.

FARM
 LOAN RULINGS

Berkeley Cal. July 12-For the purpose of speeding up the work of the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley, additional ap- praisers are to be appointed for the Arizona territory at once, according to President Burrell G. White of the bank.
 One national farm loan asso- citation in Arizona has been granted a charter and apprais- CTS are now appraising the lands of members of two asso- citations, and the applications for charters of three other as- sociations are now receiving at tention at Berkeley.
 The Federal Farm Loan Board at Washington has re- gently. made several rulings, 1n- terpreting the Federal Farm Loan act, which are of interest to Arizona ranchers. Among them are: That where a homestead entryman on gov ernment homestead has in good faith occupied the land for the requisite period and made final proof by virtue of such settle ment, his land office receipt may be accepted as evidence of basic title for the purpose of a loan under the federal fal Il loan system. Where home stead entrymen commute at the end of fourteen months and pay for their lands, the board will insist upon patent having been granted before a loan will be passed.

 The hoarding and destruc- ton of food in the effort to maintain high prices, such as the Lever Food Control bill would eliminate, should be con- sidered a grave crime at all times, but in these times when all of the food in the world is needed in order to ward off starvation from millions of peo- pie on the earth, such hoarding and destruction should be made punishable by the severest of penalties.

INTERESTING INTERVIEW
 WITH R. A. NICKERSON

Continued from 1st page)
 rather startling fact shown by the crop estimate put out by the Department of Agriculture in regard to the prospective po- tato crop. The potato yield for the United States this year promises o be nearly twice that of last year and far in excess of that of any former year. With such a yield, the price is likely to be driven down to where the farmers will not receive due remuneration for their crop, and a large wastage is likely to result. America could not do better than to take steps to con- serve this crop. The surplus yield, MT. Nickerson suggests, might be converted into flour and other concentrated forms that will keep better than the potatoes themselves and would cost much less to ship, in pro- portion to food value and mon- ey value. A pound of potato flour contains more starch than a pound of wheat flour, assert ed MT. Nickerson, and would require but a small fraction of the storage space taken by the potatoes needed to make it, for the potato itself is very largely made up of water.
 Potato chips, too, it was. sug- gested, are concentrated form that is easy to keep. :: Favors Municipal Ownership r When the discussion turned to the water and light situation in Williams, MT. Nickerson stated that in his opinion a towns water plant should be municipally owned, as a mat ter of course. In the matter of electric service, however, he is of the opinion that private ownership is usually more sat isfactory, but would make an exception in the case of Will Hams, due to the peculiar sit uation. Due to the fact that the Town can purchase the cur. rent and would need to take charge of distribution, only, he considers that the management would be sufficiently simplifed to be handled by a town coun- cil with little difficulty. :
 MT. Nickerson feels certain that the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company will be glad to cooperate with the Town both in the matter of water and ] eleetricxserWce. n ;n
