ONE LEAGUE, ONE FLAG
(New York Tribune)

Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the inter- for, has reputation as an able writer of state papers He never wrote meatier sentence than this one in his annual report, just submitted:
 "All Americans must be taught to read and write and think in one Ian guage; this is primary condition to that growth which all nations expect of us and which we demand of ourselves"
 Secretary Lanes message Is not aimed at the use of the German language alone, al- though he comments on the fact that in America thousands on thousands of chil- dren go to schools where only German is taught and spoken. His plea is for one language and as such it has special sig nificance to New York.
 What, asks MT. Lane, should be said

AN AVALANCHE OF WHEAT

Almost ironical is the announcement of record planting of wheat-49, ,000, ,OO0 acres. And there is record condition for December l-l00 per cent of eight inn portant states. The forecast Is for a winter sown wheat yield of 765 100000 bushels, l00000,000 bushels over the record crop of 1914.
 Yet all this does not mean cheap bread. The government has guaranteed $2.26 a bushel for every grain of the whole wheat crop Yet let no man cavil thereat.
 The wheat guarantee was made in al- most the blackest hour of the war, when Germanys power, now low in the dust, seemed fair to flame through half the world. Great planting was as much of a patriotic work as any other in the war and the price thus fixed seemed then low and, compared with other prices, like cotton, un- fair That the sudden end of the struggle should change the view does not alter the spirit or lessen the wisdom of the deed And our great surplus of what may do in works of charity, what it was intended to do in sustaining the nations arms.

of democracy which permits men and women to work in masses where they sell dom or never hear a word of English spoken?"
 Yet there are districts in New York where one may walk blocks upon blocks and never hear word of English spoken, where the signs on the stores are all in Greek or Italian or German or Yiddish, and where the newsboys on the streets sell only foreign-language newspapers.
 Secretary Lane remedy for these evils is government aid to the states, when needed, for the establishment of schools. We use government funds to teach men and boys to be farmers, says MT. Lane, and to build highways, and we regulate the packer the canner and the banker Surely, he says, without violation of our fundamental law we can find way by which the nation can know that all of its people are able to talk and read our own language.
 The war called sharply to the country's attention the peril of our old careless disre- gard of our great foreign-born population. Secretary Lane sounds timely warning for the future.
