:.-.:o oiTcr to negotiate by peoples
who consider treaties nothing more
than scraps of paper will be dismiss

these solemn compacts why may
they not disregard any peace agree

when the time is ripe.
This country and the other allied
countries, we think, will not make
any peace terms with the present

not, at least. Peace will come when
there is in Germany responsible

The Press and Banner takes pleas
ure in correcting the news report
published in this paper sometime ago
in which it was stated that Senator
Smith, after consulting with the
President, had arrived at the conclu-
sion that the price of cotton must be
fixed along with the price of other
comnlc:iitie' and that some arrange
ment must be made to guarantee a
just distribution of the crop, it being
apparent that there would be a
shortage of cotton for world needs.
We are of the opinion, however
that the people of the South would
not object to having the price fixed
if it could be f:;ed at $1.89 pei
pound, about which we heard a gooc
deal some four and ten years ago.
