their crop in this manner.

KEEPING FAITH WITH THE FARM
Frs.
Telegraph Herald

Thinking the war would last, the
United States pledged the farmer
1926 bushel for his 1919 wheat crop
on the Chicago market. Nearly fifty
million bushels of winter wheat have
been planted. Australia, Brazil, In
dia, and Argentine have millions of
bushels of wheat stored because there
were not ships to carry it, and now
ready for the London market at a
world price of probably $1.70 to 81. 80.
If the United States government
pays the farmer $2.26 next year, it
must sell the supply at the world
price, which is fixed in London, and
lose from $50 to 200 million dollars.
1t will take the loss, if price condi-
lions force loss upon it, because the
Government cannot afford to repudiate
its contract with the farmers. Good
morals forbid.

GERMANY'S COLOSSAL BLUNDER.

In the historic capitol at Rome, de-
signed by Michael Angelo, and in the
presence of the King of Italy, the
Ambassadors of many nations and an
-applauding multitude of people, Presi-
dent Wilson said: 81 have been reflect
ing in these recent days about colos-
sal blunder which has been made-the
blunder of force by the central en-
pires. If Germany had waited sim
gle generation she would have had a
commercial empire of the world. She
was not willing to conquer by skill,
by enterprise, by commercial success.
She must needs attempt to conquer the
world by arms, and the world will al
ways acclaim the fact that it is i'm
possible to conquer by arms; that
the only thing that conquers it is the
sort of service which can be rendered
in trade, in intercourse, in friendship,
and that there is no cor luering pow
er which can suppress the freedom of
the human spirit" ..."s
