Dr. ]. Campbell White, President Of the Uni

II hope we will have league Of nations
which will hold till there shall be league Of
churches which can Christianize the world. ;"
He declared this should be done to prevent a
conflict between the orient and the occident
He said: ''Let German efficiency organize

and the world will run red with blood in fifty

Rev. James 3. Freeman, Of St. Paul's Pro

prevent future war, there must be a federation
of churches to work out the problems Of peace. :"

the production of coal going The strain of
last year is off the railroads Why, then, should
coal keep on it's skyward way?"
The report of Senator Vardaman, chairman
Of the senate manufacturers committee, may
answer this question.
On March s, he inserted in the Congressional
Record statement on the committee s investi-
cation of the anthracite coal situation, in which
he charged that production of anthracite in
this country is controlled by eight large trans
portation companies, which through an almost
absolute monopoly, were able to fix prices and
determine the rate of production.
He declared that there is no commodity in
common use that is so absolutely monopolized
as anthracite coal production, and that shortage
during the war and present high prices were
due almost entirely to this monopolistic con-
troll.
The transportation corporations controlling
production in the Pennsylvania field, the only
source Of marketable anthracite in North Amer
lea, were named in Vardaman s statement. He
said that while these eight corporations con-
troll but seventy-two per cent of actual produc
tion, they had made it impossible for independ-
ent operators to compete with them any
fair basis.

MODERN USES OF THE AIRPLANE

According to A. B. Clegg, Vice-President Of
the Kerr Steamship Company, commercial air
planes will soon come into use as time-savers in
the dispatch Of freight steamers,
Under existing conditions. due to the fact
that ship cannot leave port without clearance
documents, bills Of lading and agents letters
Of instruction, which are not prepared until all
cargo is on board, it is often necessary to hold
a ship at anchor 48 hours. By using the air
plane, the vessel can proceed to sea as soon as
the last piece Of cargo is ON board and these
papers can then be prepared and carried in
wireless-eq equipped airplane, which soon over
takes the vessel at sea.
It is also Of interest to note that farmer in
Saskatchewan has purchased an arplane, a two
seated flying MACHINE for $5,000 This same
man broke his first land, in the pioneer days,
with an OK team. AS the country rapidly de-
veloped into one of the richest wheat growing
regions the continent, he came into control
of large interests. Now he owns three automo-
biles but these are too slow and old-fashioned;
in order to make quick business trips to various
cities in that section, he has found it necessary
to purchase an airplane, the first bought in
Saskatchewan.

Under the proposed league, we should partici-
pate in all future wars. For instance should
Ireland declare her independence, as we did in
1776, we should be bound in honor to furnish
troops to England to fight Ireland if needed,
The same would be true of Canada
The writer also points out that Senator Lodge
and Senator Reed, two Of the ablest statesmen
lawyers In the Senate, one Republican and
the other Democrat, have declared that ac-
cording to the plain English Of the league con-
stitution, if mandatory be delivered to us

Senator Sherman, in his speech the other day,
opposing our entry into the league Of nations,
said:

bonds if once we are entangled in it's fatal
meshes We deliver future generations bound

GOVERNMENT TO RETAIN CONTROL, OF
RAILROADS UNTIL CONGRESS ACTS,

Railway administration officials are quoted
as saying that the failure Of the last congress
to pass the $750,00O,000 railroad appropriation,
makes it necessary for the roads to borrow
money at high rates from private sources until
congress again convenes Extensions and bet

HOOVER THINKS WHEAT MAY Go TO
$3.50 A BUSHEL

1t has been the general consensus Of opinion
that, under the guaranteed price of 1926 a
bushel for the 1919 wheat crop, the government
would stand as heavy looser as this would be
far above the market price.
However, an interview given the Associated
Press, in Paris the other day, by Herbert
Hoover, United States Food Administrator, pre-
sents the matter in different aspect. He is
quoted as saying:
The question Of government loss, if any, will
revolve around several different factors
Changes in the world demand during the
last month indicate there will be no surplus
to carry over into the 1919 crop. Altogether
the balance of the supply and demand for our
present wheat now looks as though we might
see wheat at $3.50 bushe as it was in the
Spring Of 1917, if there is a free market and
uncontrolled prices
AS to the 1919 crop, it is too early to come
to any precise conclusion. Our crop looks from
lO to 20 per cent greater next year than last
year. ~sss
Altogether it would appear now there would
be no bread to waste in any quarter of the world
for the next year.
These problems will, moreover need to be
solved by some one else because neither myself
nor most Of the in the food administration
Will be able to continue in the service of the
government after next July. We, also, must

MOVIES HARMFUL TO CHILDREN, SAYS
PROF. E. W. BURGESS

For years, Zion has fought against allowing
moving picture shows within the corporate
limits Of the City of Zion. She has maintained,
that modern ingenuity has produced no greater
agency for the detriment of public morals
than moving picture films.
Read the following article, which appeared
in the Chicago Evening Post Of March 8, and
see what Prof Burgess, of the University Of
Chicago, has to say.
For half the children in Chicago the movies
have become vital, all-important influence
and upon majority of those who accept them
as an influence more powerful than church the
movies have an unhealthy effect
Such are the findings Of Ernest w. Burgess,
professor of sociology at the University of Chi
cago. Prof. Burgess tells the council censor
ship commission that observations were made
by 227 teachers in the fourth, sixth, eighth and
high school grades on 100000 children. The
remarks, he says, are not encouraging.
Parents of today are confronted with a
different child welfare problem than that faced
by our forefathers,' the report says. SThe
average child is more Influenced by the movies
than by the church, and it is the parents duty
to see that children are kept from seeing harm
full pictures
PROF. Burgess has found that majority of
children who habitually attend movies have
acquired harmful ideas Of life, have learned
disrespect for authority and are precocious
about sex life

pressed himself as surprised by the revelations

SHALL AMERICA ENTER THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS?
&c. B. wy

The London Globe, of March 5, said:
''The truth can no longer be camoufaged
even by the British Wilsonian press. Presi-
dent Wilson returns to Paris with greatly di-
minished prestige as the result Of action Of
United States senators regarding the boasted
league Of nations, which they treated as scrap
of paper
James r. Nourse writing from Washington
for the Chicago Herald and Examiner on the
same day, said that senators opposing the league
of nations were disposed to scoff at the presi-
dents assertion that the sentiment of the
American people is overwhelmingly behind him
in his determination to put through the organi-
zation of the league By way Of reply, the
senators directed attention to the increasing
number of letters from voters in all sections Of
the country expressing condemnation of the
league plan
Malcom Lincoln in a cable from London to
the Chicago Evening Post on March 10, said
'There is rolling up in this country great
wave of sentiment in favor of any and all
changes in the league organic law that will
insure acceptance by the incoming American
senate The British cry is, If we cannot have
league on any terms, we will make the best
OF the situation. But, if we can have league
of some sort to hold the Americans in the ring,
let make almost any kind of deal they
prefer
Arthur Sears Henning, writing from Wash
ington, on March 9, for the Chicago Tribune,
said:
''The league Of nations question is produc-
ing political complications in both the major
parties and if it should become an issue in
the presidential election next year it might
split the Republicans as well as the Democrats -
Some powerful editorials have appeared in
various papers against Americas s being drawn
into the league of nations. One appearing in
the Chicago American, few days ago, declared
that If we adopt the constitution Of the league
OF nations, drawn by Great Britain, we volun-
tarily, with our eyes open to all the ultimate
possibilities, enter foreign league in which
we should always be subordinate and inferior
in voice to Great Britain. She with her domin-
lons would always have among the body Of
delegates five times as many representatives
and votes as the United States Should we enter
an executive council within the league, the
United States would have one vote and eight
foreign nations one vote apiece so that or any
question involving even our own American
interests the vote would be eight to one against
the United States
The writer goes on to say that in the one
hundred years since the Monroe Doctrine was
adopted there have been at least eighty wars:
we have been drawn into just two of them, in
each instance because our ships were attacked
on the high seas
