Unless Germany is put out of her
national business of waging wars OF
aggression once and for all, she will
come back with surprising speed and
energy, with the support of the mass
of her people fanatically devoted to
the fatherland and with her best brains
enlisted in developing the art of war
so that twenty years from now the
same horror will again spread over the
world. No deathbed repentance or
promise OF good behavior can restore
Germany to the good opinion of the
world. By her own express statement
her treaties are scrap Of paper. Long
years of right thinking and right liv
ing, accompanied by clear evidence Of
capacity and viii to carry out demo
cratic self government, must precede
any admission to league of nations

duty of the Allied nations to purge
Germany of her madness by unsparing

The cotton market just about recov-

yesterdays trading. The nervousness
which had been noted toward the close
OF the previous day over the attitude
OF bankers with reference to the use
OF funds in speculative or essential

list losing at net advance Of 40 to

trading was comparatively quiet DUR
ing the entire morning. The bulk of
the advance was established at the
opening, which was 43 to 60 points
higher, with active months selling So
to 63 points above Fridays closing fig
ures right after the call Reports of
low emperatures in the Southwest and
tne favorable war news probably pro-
noted the demand, but the advance met

and the market tirmed up again in the
late trading.
There was comment around the ring
to the effect that the Jewish New Year
came very early this season. which
many think the forerunner of an early
frost. The appearance of the lower
temperatures in the Southwest natural
~ encouraged talk of this sort, but 1t
is too early in the season for actual
apprehenslons, and the forecast was for
warmer weather. The present low tenn
peratures, however, are considered I'M
favorable for the development of any
fresh growth promoted by recent rains.

crops in Oklahoma and Arkansas had
been benefited by recent rains, but were
less optimistic as to Texas, although

Whcat-Thc food administration is
exerting every effort to speed ND the
export movement of wheat, and on
Saturday issued notice that in the
future the Grain Corporation will not
make purchases on the Free on board
basis, but will take warehouse receipts
on grain elevator. This was due to
the fact that serious delays have been
caused Of late in loading grain on
steamers by numerous sellers, and it
Is the policy of the administration to
eliminate any cause of delay. In this
connection shipments of grain are be
ing given preference over exports of
flour, although the food administration
is maklng weekly purchases of -four
and receives bids up until noon on
each Tuesday of the week.
Some authorities are Of the opinion
that more -four should be shipped in
order to increase the production Of mill
feed, as the feeding situation at the
present time is acute and supplies arc
apparently inadequate to fill the de-
mand.
Corn-The corn market on Saturday
developed downward tendency under
increased selling pressure due to the
rev ruling by the food administration,
which will close the brewing industry
on December /. A large amount Of
barley is used every year in the manu-
facture Of beer, and this will now
come IN competition with corn, and has
recently been selling at cons iderab @
discount under cash corn in the West.
Moreover. brewers also use a large
amount of corn meal, and in the flu
ture this Will have to find another out
let.
Cash markets were also lower, and
there were predictions OF an increase
in the movement owing to the fact
that shelters are again in operation
after having been interrupted by the
recent rains. There was feeling of
uneasness over the probable showing
by the government report on Monday.

Deprive Enemy Of
Merchant Marine

IS there any wrong III asking that the
Central Powers labor hard, perhaps for
fifty years, in order to earn money
enough to pay back to the Allies the
cost of defeating and controlling them ?
In addition to their earning power, these
nations have transferable assets which
can be readily turned over to the Allies
ana credited on account of their ex-
penditures. Since Germany's teeth
must be drawn, she cannot be permitted
to keep war navy. Germany's war
navy must be turned over to the Allies.
either to be divided up or to serve as
an international police force under the
control of q league of Allied nations. Of
which Germany must not be permitted
to be member. If the German navv
issues forth IN strength for a final sea
battle this item may not have much
value.
GerTany's merchant marine must be
entirely taken away to replace the ships
despicably sunk by the German sub
marines. Ship for ship and ton for ton,
every sinking by Il German submarine
must be accounted for. These German
ships are largely private property. but
they must be Communicated and the
responsibility placed upon Germany to
reimburse their owners. The German
government owns stock of gold which
amounted in December, 1917, to 2,4OO.-
00O,OOO marks; also silver and precious
stones, which support its tottering
credit and keep the mark from disan-
pearing entirely. This property of the
nation must be taken over by the Allies
and credited on account of their ex
pendltures. Germany will then be
openly, as she is now eoncealedly. on q
paper basis.
1t has recently been stated that the
coal, potash and iron mines of Ger
many were worth, conservatively esti-
mated, many hundred billions of dol
lars. The mines of Alsace- Lorraine are
TO be handed back to France, and must.
OF course, be excepted from this item
but handsome royalties can be earned
annually from the remaining mines
which are owned by Germany and
worked on leases. Another asset owned
by Germany consists of her national
railroads, whose earnings can be SINH
iarly applied. Under established rulas
OF international law colonies are NOT
transferable assets, but it would no
fair for the Allies to credit to Germany
her expenditures in the German COL
onles for non-military public work
Doubtless there are many other assets
which can be taken to support an issue
OF bonds to be made by Germany, Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey and divided
among the Allies in proportion to their
expenditures.
The first argument will be that fro
amount is too large, that it cannot ha
repaid. This is not true. as we hav,
seen, because of the vast transferable
assets of the Central Powers, their
enormous mineral wealth and their an

The final argument and the leading
contribution Of pacfism to pan-Ger

in our terms of settlement we viii stir

The whole world hates Germany for
her Wholesale crimes with a loathing

should not consider the opinions Of

The Allies may we'll be Indifferent 10
Germany's views on this or any other
subject. Germany is but q red handed
criminal, condemned on four years OF
proof before the bar of justice, and it
remains only to decide what reparation
she must make and what restraints
she must be put under to keep the
peece in future.
The Germans will whine that a re-
pressive policy will keep them poor
