That was a wise provision of the
United States Postal Service when
they made universal request that
their employees should not discuss the
war situation with the public. 1t
would be well for others to take the
same stand. We are just on the edge
of crisis. The next gale that sweeps
from the east, west or south may bring
to our ears the thunders of war.
Nothing can be gained by agitation of
matter that savors so strongly of
belligerency and the less said about it
by the people and the press the better.
But whatever comes or fails to come,
it has come to a show down and re
gardless of party politics, it is up to
the American people to back up the
president to the last ditch. 1t isn't a
question of Americanism and citizen
ship. We must stand back of the
president first last and all the time
and pour out our fervent prayers that
somehow, someway the clouds that
threaten us on every hand will b
swept away, and that America may re-
main 1.-The home of the brave and the

SHIP BACK OUR WHEAT

Flour manufactured in Shanghai is
sold in Hong Kong at the present
market, at S6.25 per barrel gold Japan
beats this and sells it's flour in Hong
Kong at $5.65 per barrel gold after
paying the Accent tax.
China and Japan must get their
wheat from the usual sources. Neither
raise their own supply, let alone any
for export. Neither, in fact, is wheat
producer nor a wheat user. They make
flour practically solely for export.
They must pay for wheat what is
the American price. The Japanese
have the advantage in transportation
The rest is all in the cheapest of
production which is in plant cost as
well as production cost.
At the prices given, Japan can ship
with profit to the United States, send
ing back our own wheat in the form of
flour. Maybe what this country needs
is league to enforce equality of wages
rather than to enforce peace, as in
equality of wages is not unknown

FOR OR AGAINST THE FLAel

Now is the time for all Americans
to stand by the colors. The old flag
has been insulted to the limit, that
fatal limit which prescribes the waters
over which it may float in the pursuit
of commerce. 1t is not that we must
take sides for or against any move
ment in the European war. but that
we give all Europe to understand that
the seas must be left open for Ameri-
can business. Those in this country
who insist that one side or the other
over there is right or wrong, and
justified in prescribing limits for their
avowed enemies to roam around in,
should at least remember that the last
German ultimatum is not changing
things from war conditions, so far as
their enemies are concerned There is
only one American issue, and that is
to convince the German government
that it has gone too far in laying
down designated limits in which Amer
leans may move without drawing the
fire of German guns. If any Ameri-
can thinks this country should submit
to that then he is on the wrong side
of the Atlantic, and should move into
foreign territory.-Worchest TeIe-

The basket ball championship for
the Western Slope conference is
"chinched" by the boys team OF Delta
High, and the boys are ready to meet
the champions of the Eastern Slope.
Our teams took the measure of the
Paonia teams in two swift games last
Thursday evening. The Delta girls
won by the close score of 21 to IT:
the Delta boys by wide margin of So

good game but were outplayed by the
Delta teams. The Improvement in

the subject. Now comes the Saturday
Evening Post with an editorial which
corroborates what this paper has been
saying for two years-that Eve have
gained comparatively little foreign
trade except as war demand has
thrown it to u.s." While the Saturday
Evening Post has finally grasped the
facts of the situation, just as we have
been stating them for many months,
it refuses to reach the conclusion
that will appeal to most thinking
people-that development of perma.
nent export trade depends chiefly upon
building up home industry so that, by
producing large quantities., We shall
be able to produce at lower cost and
be in position to compete in the
worlds markets. And, in order to
build up home enterprises we must
have the aid of a protective tariff.
Perhaps in couple of years more the
Post will get around to that idea, but
it apparently will not go any farther
now than admit the facts. Give the
Post time and it will catch up with us.

ENGLISH WANTS PROTECTION

A deputation representing over So
900 work people and about 300 hosiery
firms in Nottinhamshire, Leicester
shire, and Derbyshire, called at the
Board of Trade office in London, dur
ing January, to discuss the crisis
threatening their industry because of
the removal of the prohibition on the
importation of cotton hosiery. They
pointed out that since the outbreak
of the war imports from Japan had
more than doubled; that in 1913,
when Germany was a competitor, a
total 1,O00,O dozen pairs of hosiery
were imported falling to 5000 dozen
pairs in 1914, advancing to 931 900 in
1915, and to 1854. 900 last year They
wanted the prohibition on importation
reimposed. All our hosiery manufac-
turers ask for is protective rates
measured by the difference in cost
of production at home and abroad
and they can't get them under the
Democratic administration. They don't
want absolute prohibition, while those
erstwhile model free-traders of Great
Britain do.

Tempe News: The greatest
problem Tempe has to face these
days is that of housing the new
people who are arriving almost
daily. In many instances these
people want to locate here but
some provision must be made to
care for them until they can
establish themselves in homes
OF their own if we are to hold
them. A number of new houses
have been built and others are
in the course of construction.
but they are utterly inadequate
to supply the ever growing de-
mand. Tempe is the acknow-
lodged center of the cotton in
dustry of the Salt river valley.
It is the birth place and home
of the now famous Pima long
staple cotton. 1t is only a ques-
tion of time when manufactur-
ing industries will be establish
ed here. The advantages af-
forded by reason of our loca-
tion on the banks of the river
are bound to be recognized in
the near future and Tempe
is going to grow and grow fast
and big. The community club
might very profitably turn it's
attention to this matter of
boosting for more cottages for
renting purposes. The matter.
is at least worthy of serious
