LIGHT IN THE EAST

The city press in the east-and for
that matter in the west also-has
generally reflected such a profound
ignorance of the farmer and his prob
lens, especially during the critical
time of the last two years, that an ar
ticle that appeared in the July l 8 is
sue of the Financial and Commercial
Chronicle, New York, appears as a
bright ray of light to a stsrm-tossed
yoyager. After speaking of the trans
formations in our ways of doing
things brought about by war condi-
lions. the Chronicle says:
The farmer stands in the midst
of things. Since sustenance is first,
he becomes the chief concern of the
government. In all the wide reach
of our activities, no order can be is
sued that does not affect him, Con
troll Of foods and fuel, of the rail
roads, of credits, all bear upon him.
Speaking comprehensively. his pro-
ducts should have the leeways of the
world"
1t then goes on to point out that
the farmer as primary shipper is most
closely related to the railroads; that,
in fact they have been built to serve
him; that as a result of his labors we
have built up the great cities and ter
minal markets; that he has, in fact,
paid the freight" 1t further points
out the difference between the gov
eminent regulation of such business
enterprises as railroads and the at
tempt by the government to regulate
the farmer and his business. combin-

ing as it does production and distri-
button under natural laws. Speak
ing of the efforts to control this, the
Chronicle says
Not one of these food laws but
runs back to the farmer; and unless
they are made with reference to his
conditions and number, they become
at once elements of interference, of
graf disorder. OF what use to grow
the usual number of bushels to feed
the usual number of persons, if the
market is to be defined and limited
by orders upon the people as to what
they shall consume and how much?
True, the world demand is for guam
tity of every form of farm produce
greater than can be grown, and price
is fixed, let us assume, at a relative
ly high figure; but the fact remains
that complete coordination can not
obtain under such a system. Control
OF distribution Is interference with
normal sale. Control of consumption
and use is interference with the
source of supply. And all of these
laws affect the farmer. We do not
argue that he can not in war time
prosper under them, owing to the
unsatisfiable need that exists; but
they would accomplish his ruin in a
time of world peace and make him
the drudge of the world
Speaking of the immense debt
which we are now creating, largely
because of the need for money for
carrying on the war, the Chronicle
says that no national loan is ever
made that does not put an intangible
but effectual mortgage on every
farm; that the weight falls at last on
the land and the labor of the new
generation. Consequently, when the
time does come for a general read
justment and the cancellation of tenn
porary forms of Indebtedness, the
strike hard and quick on the produce
prices that now obtain The farmer
should estimate these powerful forces
of gigantic and increasing credits,
and his voice in affairs be heard in
behalf of the future that must come
to us all"
The Chronicle opposes any limita-
ton to the price of farm products,
for the reason that now is the time
when the farmer must make his chief
gains, and thus be fortified against
the time to come when he will have
shrunken values. 1t argues that the
price of wheat, for example, should
be allowed as nearly as possible to
follow the law of supply and de-
mand; that no legislative body can
know just what the price of bushel
of wheat should be and still give JUS

PEACE THROUGH VICTORY

The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
Of the American EXpeditionary Force
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who
have had enough of war; let the Sc
cretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without
decision-let them one and all know
once and for all that for the Ameri-
can EXpedtiOnary Force there is no
such word as Peace with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talks peace
today, except through victory, is
traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is lik-
ened to the action Of German ma
chine-gun crews in the Vesle fight
ing, when they fought and killed
Americans until they were surround
ed, then shouted "Kamrad."
The mothers of the American SOL
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the Fourth Liberty
Loan is to bring that peace--a just
peace, a righteous peace, an Ameri-
can peace.

As the leading financial and COM
mercial paper of the country tue

valuable service to the nation by con-
tinuing discussions of this subject
More than any other class OF citizens,
the farmers of the country are carry
ing and must carry the war burden
notwithstanding this, of all citizens
the farmer has been consulted least
Laws which profoundly affect him
both now and in the future have been
enacted hastily and without due con-
sideration. Rules and regulations
have been put in force without word
to the farmer, the man who is most
concerned. The prices of his pro-
ducts have been fixed, directly or in
directly. The demands of war have
disorganized his labor supply.
Freight rates on his products have
been advanced to exorbitant figures.
Freight service has compelled him at
times to hold his products and there
by suffer extremely heavy losses. The
solicitude displayed for the workmen
in the cities has not been extended to
the farmer, who works harder and
longer hours than any other work
man.
The farmer has not complained
very much. He is determined to do
his share and more to fight through
this war to a real victory, but he has
felt sometimes, and with reason, that
the folks at Washington have for
gotten about him and his needs And
when the days of reconstruction
come, if the farmer is driven in self
protection to go to extremes in polit-
ical action, the business and financial
interests will have none but them
selves to blame.-Wallaces Farmer.
