AS MR. HUGHES SEES 1T.

This is no time for craftsmanship, says former
Justice Hughes. The country is In Crisis
and it will make little difference. what we call
ourselves-republicans or democrats-H we
lose the wan. We want all the helpful con-
structive criticism of our government that we
can get The time for ghtterlng general1ues
about our potential powers and lnexhausuDle
resources has gone by. We want actual lmme-
diate effectiveness at Washington and at our
front in France We want everything IN Amer
lea organized for the work in hand. We want
the greatest ability of land OF splendid talents
called to cope with our tremendous task. We
want America altogether at the highest state
of efficiency and under the very best organiza-
ton the human mind can devise So says
Charles E. Hughes.
This ennunciation of the country's needs
probably finds a responsive echo in all patriotic
American hearts There is honest diversity OF
views as to how national adequacy IN this emer-
gency can be obtained There are those who
argue that the wisdom Of the president sui
fees, that the governmental departments Will
make no more mistakes and that the nations
interests are safe in their hands. Others who
gladly concede the wisdom and capacity OF the
chief executive and the patriotism OF the men
beneath him in authority feel nevertheless, as
Mr. Hughes does, and as the senate military at
fairs committee feels, that all the wisdom OF the
count1-y-the great constructive minds IN all the
parties-are imperatively needed to guide the
nation through this era of peril and change
Their absolutely unanswerable argument is that,
as foresight would have prepared us better for
emergencies that we have poorly met, so it will
prepare us for emergencies we have yet to meet
They want. the best brains in the nation called
to the nation s service, and they justified in
their demand; for it is their resources and their
own flesh and blood which are fighting the war.

WHAT THE FARMERS WANT.

Representatives of sixteen national farm Or
ganizations including in their memberships
more than three million organized farmers,
were received by President Wilson the other
day, and presented for his consideration num-
Der of demands which, according to their best
Judgment, must be met if the farmers increase
production to an extent sufficient to supply the
world IS needs
Among the remedies suggested to meet the
situation are the parole of farm trained work
ers back to the farm to remain there SO long as
their services are considered by the government
to be more useful in productive agriculture than
In the army; provision for furnishing to pro
ducing farmers who need them such seeds,
feeds, fertilizers and farm machinery at cost
as NAV be actually necessary to maintain their
production or to increase it within practicable
limits; transportation of farm products and
supplies by the most economic routes; short time
loans to farmers for the purpose of financing
the production of crops; the application of the
policy of price control to what the farmer buys
as much as to what he sells; and the immediate
appointment of a farm commission to consist
preferably of nine farmers actually engaged in
the business, to be selected by the president
from men representative of and satisfactory to
the great farm organizations, and to report
directly to him on all questions that affect the
increase OF agricultural productlon ana hlstfl-
button. The commission should be required, as
its first task, to report at once on all matters
necessary in the immediate execution of plans
FOR the relief of the farmers in their efforts to
Increase crop production.
This is clear cut expression of the needs
of the farmers and it is to be hoped in view of
che present demands for larger food production
that each proposition will be given prompt con-
Eideration followed with equally prompt action.
There is little time to lose in making provision
Tor the seeding season. IF the farmers increase
Ahe crop area they must have some guarantee

statement the other day that the
Elks of all the organizations and In

fuel orders the most periodically. He
said that there was not whimper
nor a murmur. The Elks said in
effect, Whatever 1t is you want US
to do. well do it." They did not
ask for a modification or conces-
sion, and they expressed positive
approval Of whatever was suggested.

administrator, 'even from some OF

Elks, who are the Benevolent and

Cedar Rapids Republican: The pres

realize that fate has placed in their
keeping the good name of the Slavic
peoples Of Europe. If Russia, the once
boosted elder sister, had stood by the
Slavs they would now all be on the
high road to Independent and free gov
ernments The failure Of Russia to
realize it's high mission is one Of the
saddest things in modern history. It
Is preparing to continue the slavery OF
these peoples than whom none is more
entitled to liberty.

~sHIPs, MORE sHIPsl"

When cambridge Colby, member OF the
United States shipping board, went abroad with
the American mission to the interalhed confer
ence, returned to this country he said: There
is but one direct answer to the submarine, until
the allied forces achieve decisive land and
naval victory that will check the Germans at
the throat That answer is ships Similar
statements have come from other men who
understand the situation. They are borne out
by a despatch from Washington saying that
ship tonnage sunk by submarines last year was
nearly three times as great as the total pro-
duction in this country and Great Britain.
Notwithstanding our enormous shipbuilding
resources, the tonnage produced here In 1917
was considerably less than Great Britain's out
put The combined production was 2,O64,697
tons. The despatch says both American and
British officials expect very different story in
1918 The story will have to be different II
we win the war. Nothing is to be gained by
refusal to admit facts set forth by responsible
men Lloyd George has called for ships, and
then ships and more ships America must
answer that call by speeding up work In every
yard. There is sure way to overcome
menace Of the submarine. There may be Others
but the only safe course now is to build mer-
chant ships with utmost speed.
