SENATE CONSIDERS
CONTROL OF PAPER

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
today took up for final consideration
the resolution Of Senator Smith Of
Arizona, authorizing the president to
direct the federal trade commission
to regulate the production and distri-
button of print paper during the war.
Owing to the large number of sena-
tors desiring to be heard the session
begins at 10 o'clock. Debate will be
limited to 10 minutes for each sena-
tor after o'clock with final vote as
soon as possible.
Senate leaders admitted the vote on
the measure would be close. Sharp
opposition to the resolution developed
late last week.
Opposing the resolution Senator
Fernald of Maine declared it was only
a means of invoking a censorship on
the press and denied it would benefit
publishers.
IF YOU desire to aid the publishers
of this country" said he, repeal the
zone system. which will, in my judg-
ment, be of greater benefit to them
than any possible control by the gov
eminent of the paper industry"
AS a means of improving the paper
supply Senator Fernald urged that the
senate insist that unless Canada re-
moves her embargo on pulp wood nc
coal or cotton in the United States
be permitted to cross the border.

HAVING
LABOR TROUBLES
/, Attention Focused ON Situation by
Speech OF Sir Auckland Geddes
In House Of Commons.

London, Jan. 15.-The reference
made in the house Of commons yes
terday by Sir Auckland Geddes, minis
ter of national service, to the engin-
GERS attempting to force the govern
ment to conscript their fathers and
return wounded men to the front, has
focused attention on the attitude of
engineering and shipbuilding en-
ployes along the Clyde. where the
trouble has been most active. Sir
Auckland declared that many young
men in essential industries had acted
as though they held a privileged po-
sition. He said that they must share
the burden with the others.
At meeting in the Clyde district
on Sunday the engineers and ship
builders decided to strike II the gov
eminent man power bill was not with
drawn before the end of January and
a peace conference called.
The rebuke given these men by Sir
Auckland Geddes is endorsed generally
by the press and members of parlia-
ment, but in some quarters the minis
ter is condemned for lack of sagacity,
as the temper of, the men is strained
and persuasion is more likely to be
effective than a menace. ]. Ramsay
Macdonald, labor leader. and who has
just returned from the Clyde, says in
an interview that the view Of, the
workmen was that they had definite
bargain by which it was agreed to give
the government certain support and
the government was new trying to re-
pudiate it's side of the bargain.
On the other hand, the press con-
dennis the malcontents warmly. the
Daily News describing the threat to
! strike as betrayal of freedom and a
stabblng of sons and brothers in the
| back.
| In the Hobbies of parliament the
opinion is expressed that if strike
occurs it is not likely to last long
owing to the strikers lack of funds.

FARM LOANS.

II 1t had not been for the members
of the federal farm loan board join,
ing the procession Of applicants head
ing towards the United States treas
ury, the existence Of the board and
it's experimental enterprise might have
been forgotten by the general public.
The necessity for a hundred mil
lion dollars credit, and the admis-
sion that the bonds which were to
be secured by farm mortgages and
government endorsement have gone
begging and are now a drug on the
market, provoke an inquiry as to what
has been done.
There has been no lack of borrow
ers particularly in the western sec
tons. Even though the rate has been
increased from the original promise
of 5 per cent, and Is now 5H and g.
there is a distinct advantage in the
federal terms over those offered by
private enterprise taking the risk OF
farm mortgages, and the borrowers
are not slow to take advantage of it
Moreover, it appears that some of the
farm mortgage concerns are willing
and eager to help the plan along, and
are quite content to have the govern
ment carry their load for them in
many instances.
Therefore, the land banks of the
west and northwest are having plenty
Of business and already are beginning
to find out that it does not pay. In
other words, the discovery is being
made that there is no magic in the
titular endowment OF a federal board
when it enters the normal field of pri-
vate business. Conditions and costs
are unchanged by the fact that the
government essays a prentice hand
And lack of experience, and a sur.
plus of theory in the government or
ganization, generally increase rather
than lessen the difficulties which pri,
vate enterprise meets,

FOR THE RED CROSS.

Kenneth C. Beaton, who writes /,
column of more or less syncopatet
free verse" for the Hearst paper
every day. has his own way Of sayin,
is an entertaining and admirable one
The following is his contribution t,
the Red Cross campaign and it i
worth reading:
Just for a moment, let's close
our eyes and hold one dollar in
our hand, and take journey over
winter seas to where our boy is
billeted, somewhere in France.
And then let's follow him through
winter storms and muddy roads
and sodden fields and sleepless
nights and thoughts of home.
Let's stand with him behind the
lines and listen to the noise of war
that cries its way and whines its
lust for human life. Let's 60 with
him on that dread day on which
he goes beyond the line, into the
strife where humans sing and bull
lets sing their song Of hate"
And somewhere as we travel on
along the way that he has gone,
there comes a chance that he may
fall while we are there and then
We'll open up our hand and hold
our dollar high above and cry for
help, and none will come.
And that's the dream I'd have
you dream, back here at home. and
then awake and put one dollar in
your hand and take it to a Red
Cross place and turn 1t in.
And then, some day, somewhere
In France, a surgeon or a Red
Cross nurse may stand upon the
very spot you stood upon while in
your dream, and the idle coin that
you had held they'll hold in what
it bought at home of life and COM
fort for your soldier boy.
Your membership in the Red Cros
will cost only one dollar. Don't 20
think you'd best Join today. and urg
a few others to Join with you?
