Does not your letter lead logically

Surely you will not claim that such

arrangement with Russia but insists that Germany must
retain in rich mining sections of Belgium and France In
other words the catchy phrase invented to mislead
the Bolshevi, and induce them to agree to peace so
Pusslansm would be that much stronger to carry out
the annexation plans on the western front After she
succeeded in this she would illustrate to Russia that

be OF use to her. Eventually she would absorb the whole

EXPLOITING THE CONSUMER

Mr. Hoover again urges the necessity of conserving
foodstuffs He has found the American people willing
most of the to follow his advice and is up to him Il
assist them in so doing The sacrifice so far has beer
SMALL and that it must be still larger if to do al
we to win the is certain. Not only must the
soldiers be fed but the civilian population of our allies
must also be maintained In all these countries the civil
population is making heroic sacrifices by the side Of
which ours are trifing In England, the bread ration
already SMALL again reduced few days ago, and it
is the same in France and Italy. 1t is as
much that of France England and it is duty to
make great sacrifices do the people Of those
tries. Mr. Hoover will find the great mass Of Americans
will meet any and all demands made them cheerfuly
and promptly AT the same time he can do much to en-
courage this self denial price has been fixed wheat
and there practically all control foodstuffs ended
The crop is three times nearly FOUR large as that
of wheat and we are urged by Mr. Hoover to corn
instead of wheat At the time effort is made to
control its price to regulate it in any Specu
latoTs of some kind have evidently taken advantage Of
conditions to force the price of corn products up and
meal SO per higher than flour when it should be not
above 60 per cent of the latter in price This the people
beginning to demand be remedied and the request
must be Needed or conservation will receive hard blow
Consumers trying to do their bit toward aiding in
sevaton object to being turned to spectators for
exploitation. 1t is the same with fish, We asked to
substitute fish for meats and most of us at least try
ing to carry out the plans and follow the suggestions of
the food administration While doing fish of all kinds
have rebed in price, some of them advanced 1920 per-
cent and effort made by the food administrators to
prevent this pracal profteerng 1t costs no more tO
grow fish than it did before the war; and the increased
of labor and gear used in taking them from the

the price is fixed at all the people backed by feeling
of patriotism will stand The spectators and extorton
lists using the peoples patriotism to assist them in
their deliberate plunderng of consumers. There are
other things which unhoy profits made and it is
these things the food administration should drastic
measures if necessary to put end to- AS an instance
habu that before the sold at around three cents
pound at Newport sells there for about II cents
and here in Salem hundred miles away it sells whole
sale for % cents pound and retas at from 27 to 30
cents pound There is for it. and it is little
short of crime to permit the undsguised robbery to
continue. Mr.. Hoover must give the people something
besides advice if he expects them carry out the plans
for food conservation to the fullest.

GERMANY'S BLUFF CALLED

Irotsky snaps his fingers under the kaisers nose and
tells him some things That the kaiser already knows
them makes no difference to the Bolshevi leader for he
points out to him that Russas weakness is her greatest
defense He tells the kasers representatives that he will
accept no dShon0abe peace and that if Russians cannot
fight owing to unpreparedness, that the tactics used
against Napoleon not forgotten and that if Prussia
nvadeS Russia it will find only barren waste as far as
it penetraes within her borders The getting in is much
easier than the getting out and this is the treatment
IrotSy says the Prussans will get if they undertake to
OVerTun Russia they have other smaller countries
Reading between the lines it looks very much as though
Germany was using the Russians simply as blind behind
which to get within peacemakng distance of the other
allies AS matter Of fact the whole peace talk is pre-
imnary feeling out of the situation to see if some basis
cannot be reached on which peace can be arranged
Whatever Gemanys power of further resistance NAV be
that she wants peace and that badly is certain Follow
ing the first peace conference with the Russians came the
statement Of Engands aims and this was followed
within day or two by President Wilson's outlining
again Americas position and it is evident this was made
through an understanding with Lloyd George Then
came the Immediate renewal of the conference between
Germany and Russia. Germany undertook to run bluff
on the Russians and it promptly called by Trotsly
and the the kaiser expected to have for contin
ng the fighting in case peace not secured was spoiled
The Intention to throw the blame for any continuance
of the war on the allies and thus hearten the German
people to still greater Sacrifices and still more deter
mined resistance the kaiser would be enabled to make
peace on terms that would leave him holding his job
