this problem is already completed, and
by next May, if we have peace and
freedom, any surplus that accumulates
now viii be turned into another world
shortage of fats. Indeed, if the entire
consuming populations Of the world
were able to obtain fats to-day there
would be a shortage at this moment,
even with our great surplus produc-
ton.
Solutions Suggested
Numerous solutions have been pro
posed. 1t has been considered that the
Allied governments should continue to
purchase the surplus production of
pork products, despite the accumulated
stocks and lack Of immediate need, and
thus protect the American farmer
against the surplus provided especially
for them IL has been contended that
they are under moral obligations to
execute the forecasts of their require
ments given from time 10 time through
their various agencies.
THE Allies can, however, contend
that they also have great problems of
excess production in commodities, such
as munitions, which they have. like
wise, produced under war pressure.
They can contend that we have jointly
fought and won the war, that this is
sudden and catches us all with vast
production which must be faced and
liouidated by each OF US without undue
pressure, one against the other; that
they, like ourselves, are entering q
period of large employment during the
readjustment and that their people,
like ours, need lower food prices.
THE real solution lies in the hope
Of early peace and, in the meantime.
the steady demobilization for all re-
strietions on free marketing of surplus
foods, EXCEPT in enemy territory, thus
reestablishing the law of supply and
demand
Practically all restrictions on
American food exports have been re-
moved Progress has been made in
and further relaXations of blockade
measures are under earnest considers
ton. The readjustment of consolidated
buying agencies is hoped for, in order
mat merchants may enter upon trade
freely on both sides, and thus secure
Il normal basis oil price determining,
without any dominating influences.
II IS, however, no more possible to
demobilize in u week the whole Of
these intricate forces set up during
the war than 1t is to demoblize our
army by dismissing it on the field.
And, pending these solutions. our
American farmers, merchants, packers
and banks simply must stand together
for two or three months to carry our
excess surplus over until the markets
OF the world have been more extended
and finally liberated by pcace. The
meeting Of farmers and packers rep
reSentatives called at Chicago on Tues
day has to consider these problems"

Trip To Be Undertaken to

OMSK, Jan. "a (By The Associated d
Press s).-Small contingents OF French
and British troops will be sent to the
assistance OF General DutoF at Oren-
burg, negotiations between the Omsk
government and the Allies having been
successfully completed
General DutoR has telegraphed that
he will hold Orenburg as long as pos
slble. The trip of the Allied soldiers
10 Orenburg will be somewhat perilous
because to reach that place they must
make sled journey of nearly 20C
miles across country swarming with
wolves, which have multiplied because
huntsmen there are without ann AMI

Advices from Orenburg state that
many of General Dutoff's men are

While there is no official recognition

number of high Allied officers are
understood to favor vigorous Japanese
intervention, believing that the future
of the country depends upon military
successes and the quick destruction of
Bolshevism. National Socialists, on the
otner hand, have sent q memorial to
Admiral kolchak, pledging their ad
herence and expressing the belief that
his government alone is capable of
saving the country, nationally and in
ternationally.
Newspapers urge American capital
lists to invest in projects in Siberia,
saying that closer economic ties with
America are desired.
Demand for L. S. Goods
Reports show there is a heavy de-
mand for American goods among the
people here, delays in shipments lead
ing to anxious inquiries Cooperative
ASSOCIATIONS have been formed to handle
and distribute shipments received. The
government wants to establish distrib
utlng points at Omsk and Vladivostok.
There has been distinct improve

last month hardly a morning passed

no recent tragedies, however, pedes-

LONDON, Jan. pa German wire
less dispatch gives an interview with
Philip Schcidemann, Foreign Secre-
tary in the Ebert government, in con-
nection with the German elections.
Scheidemann asserted that although
the Social-Democrats had not obtained
an absolute majority, they would al
ways be the decisive power within the
government and that in future elections
radicalsm would lose even more of its
supporters.
Scheidemann assumed that on many
questions cooperation between the
bourgeois Democracy and Social
Democracy would be possible, and that
it would be the special task of the
assembly to establish truly Demo-
cratic constitution, in keeping with
modern demands, which must leave
room for the carrying out Of Socialism
to its fullest extent
The Foreign SECRETARY was emphatic
in the statement that Gemany's &C
ceptance of an ideal league of nations
did not mean that she was willing to
commit suicide by allowing whole sec
tons of the country, with Enthusiastically
German populations, to be wrested
from tho nation, as seemingly was in

Secretary Gilbert 5.

 The speaker said in part Every man has great possibilities within himself which he has not yet discov- cred. and this might be called the bet ter self. Or it may be that there are mon here this morning who have lost something that they once had; once the church bells were welcome sound to them, but it is not so now; once they enjoyed reading the Bible, but the great book has no interest for them now. The things that once thrilled them with interest fail to ap- peal to them now. The question arises how can l discover my better self again? We can discover it in Jesus Christ and in Him alone. Jesus Christ is, as it were. mirror in which we see ourselves and as we compare our selves with Him. we readily discover whether or not we have lost our better selves. When a man has lost his bet ter self he is apt to feel that there is no hope for him, but this better self can be restored through Jesus Christ. Men.
