temporary purposes the result would
be the economic slavery of Europe TO
the western hemisphere and the ultimate
end would be war again.
Mr. Hoover's remedy calls for the re-
moval Of obstacles to commerce, the ut
most stimulation of industry even if it
involves high prices, the rigid control
of waste on luxuries which compete with
essentials, and the utmost economy by
governments and people. Efforts to low
err prices by government control he in
general opposes, on the ground that high
prices automatically bring relief by
checking consumption and stimulating
production. But the great thing is to in
crease useful production in every pos
rible way
1t is felt by those who have studied the
situation says the Spectator, that I'm
less remedy is found and found quick
w, there is real danger of Europe
falling into the condition to which she
was brought in the ninth century. That
means plague and famine, and the de
moralization that goes with them, fol-
lowing each other in horrible succession
till civilization breaks down altogether
The case though grave, is not incurable,
provided Mr. Hoover's prescription of
hard work and free commerce is fol-
lowed But the coming winter will be
the severest test that Europe has yet
had Springfield Republican.

MR.. HoovER'S WARNING.
Europe Impressed by His Summary Of
Economical Conditions.

An impression perhaps not fully real.
lied in this country has been made in
Europe by the memorandum OF Herbert
Hoover on the economic situation. The
London Spectator says; "Mr. Hoover,
who understands better than any living
man the material, social and moral con
dition Of Europe, has used language
about the situation which is the most
menacing, The most soul shaking, that
has been used within living memory"
1--WE have been living in a FOOLS para
disc"
Mr., Hoover stressed the urgent need Of
increased production, and this side OF his
argument is being emphasized by many
Jas though labor were wholly to blame
But his memorandum. based on a wide
and thorough study Of conditions in Eu-
rope, covered much more ground than
this, and showed that governments have
their share of responsibility. The con
tinuation OF the blockade after the ar
mistice, he says, has destroyed enterprise
even in open countries, and prevented
any recovery in enemy countries. The
uncertainties produced by the protrae-
tion of the twilight zone between war
and paece have checked the flow of raw
materials and have prevented industry
from getting fresh start.
The alarming conclusion is reached
that at no time, not even at the height
Of the war, has the production Of neees-
saries for the 450,000,000 people Of Eu-
rope been at so low an ebb The indus
trial and commercial decentralization
caused by the war has been continued
and increased by "hte struggle for po-
litical arrangements during the armi-
stice. the creation Of new governments
their inexperience, and friction between
these governments and the readiustment
of economic relations
Unhappily these conditions have not
changed, A great part of Europe is still
blockaded, the newly created govern.
ments are being aided and encouraged to
fight each other, millions Of men are un-
der arms, a burden on society, the re-
sumption of trade is checked by Jealous
governmental interference. How under
these conditions is Europe to recoverl II
is estimated that l00000,000 of its peo.
pie must live on imported food how il
the food to be paid for? America might
as an emergency measure give credits

The day it was most beautiful,
And bracing was the air;

Did forth their coors fling,
While joining with the motors hum,
The boys began to sing;

We're on our way to Washington
We're going to see the Fair,
And when we get our pictures took,
Well all 60 on the tear
The horses, they were racing round,
And prancing TO and fro
Tho some were blind, and some were
lame,
Yet round and round they'd go;
The farmers hair was waving, you
Could view it from affair."
And see them burn their whiskers, while
Asmoking their cigar.

attention was bestowed upon Camp
Merritt in Northern New jersey, be-
cause a very large percentage of the

through that barkation camp. The
fact that malaria was at all times
under control at Merritt, the speaker
said, showed the effectiveness of the

Francis J. Heney Brings Up
1912 Activities About

Washington, Feb. 7.-Henry Wee
aAnnfSs that the big packers have
conducted activities in the Penn
syfvania legislature Before the
senate agriculture committee, which
is considering legislation for the
regulation of the meat industry
veeder yesterday put Pennsylvania
among tho states watched by the
packers.
In the senate committee hearing,
Franeis J. Heney read letters from
Mr. veeder-s files, in which it was
stated by Alfred r. Union, counsel
for Armour & Company, "the big
man" in Pennsylvania, had given
assurances there would be no prose-
cutions in 1919 for the sale Of nat
urally colored oleomargarine. Mr..
veeder said he had no idea who was
the big man referred to.
IF mentioned his name would
that refresh your memory any?"
asked Mr.. Henry.
Upon the negative response OF
W1LnGSSt AhSAO
was only one big man in Pennsyl-
vania politics at that time"
Helped Taggart Campaign
Political campaign contributions
and legislative activities of the five
big meat packing concerns were in
quired into yesterday during cross
examination of Veeder.
Mr.. Veeder testified his company
had contributed to the campaign
funds of former Representative
Taggart, of Kansas, in 1915 and Of
Representative Rodenberg, OF Hi
nois, in 1912. After the committee
had adjourned Mr.. Veeder issued a
statement saying that the $3.50 con-
tribution referred to in connection
with Mr.. Rodenkerg's campaign had
been paid to a committee working
in behalf of the Rodenberg primary
law in Illinois," and had not been
for Mr.. Rodenberg's own cam
paign.
The witness also told the COM
mittee that a donation was made
in 1910 to the campaign fund of o.
b. Colquit, who became governor
of Texas the following year.
Mr.. Veeder said it was not the
policy of Swift and Company to give
financial aid to office-seekers and
that everything possible was done
to avoid it.
