phone rates by Mr.. Burleson by $780,
5000, is proved by the annual report
of the Bell Telephone company, just
issued.
There is an estimate presented
by the Bell company to the compensa-
ton committee, before compensation
was arrived at, showing the net reve-
nues to the government from the Bell
telephone properties from Jan. /, 1919,
to Dec. 81, 1919, showing an estimated
profit to the government of $12,477,-
800 from the operations of the Bell
lines during the year 1919. This
estimate for 1919 showing a profit of
$12,477, 300 was conditional on the
government increasing the telephone
rates by $30,775,000.
Hence, it will be seen that while
Mr.. Burleson was publicly declaring
he was going to decrease rates, and
that while he publicly announced on
Dec. 13 a new schedule of telephone
rates, which he stated were a re-
duction, he had already committed
to policy of increased rates
for the Bell Telephone company which
was to net during the year 1919 the
sum of $3O,775,OOO, and he was so
before he arrived at the

that his revenue under the 1926 guar
antee will be about $3.50 an acre
more than it was when wheat did not
60 higher than 81 a bushel.
In 1915 sisal fiber cost the Irvine
manufacturers Az cents pound, and
the Irvine sold at wholesale from ~
to 7 ga cents. The prices in 1916 were
respectively, tx cents and az cents.
In 1917 they jumped to 141s cents for
the fiber and from Is 1-8 to 10 ga
cents for the Irvine. Last year, in
January, the fiber cost 10 ga cents
and the Irvine 23A cents.
The latest quotations for fiber were
from Is is to 161z cents. This price
is not likely to vary much during the
coming season although there may be
slight reductions.
Recently there was a surplus of
sisal fiber in Yucatan, where most of
it is produced. This situation was re-
ieved to a considerable extent by the
shipment of $4,000 bales to this coun-
try.

LOWER PRICES FOR BINDING
TWINE FORECASTED-
PLY SAID TO BE AMPLE

Farmers will be able to buy their
binder Irvine this year at a price
slightly less than last year. There is
no prospect of shortage such as
was threatened in 1918. Sufficient 81
sal fiber already has been imported
to meet the demands during the pres
ent year, even though huge wheat
crop is in sight.
The price of 21A cents is 2 cents
less than last year, when a price of
23A cents prevailed.
While the price of binder Irvine will
be about three times as much as four
years ago, the farmers probably will
not do much complaining while the
1925 wheat guarantee prevails.
A Department of Agriculture ex-
pert estimated roughly that it would
cost a farmer about % cents an acre
additional for Irvine to bind his wheat

POSTMASTER GENERAL BUR-
Lesson TO BRING PHONE
RATE INCREASE, CHARGE

New York, April 1.-The leading
article in the Postal Telegraph for
April, issued today, makes the charge
that Postmaster General A. S. Burle-
son has committed himself to an in
crease of $3O,OOO,OOO in the telephone
rates of the American (BelD Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company, and that
it is the intention of Mr.. Burleson to
increase the local exchange telephone
rates all over the country, in order to
carry out this $3O,O00,000 increase in
rates. The article says, in part:

graphs and telephones by Mr.. Burle-
son was job to increase Bell tele-

MR.. ROOT CLARIFIES SITUATION

Elihu Roots grasp on questions af-
fecting the world and particularly the
United States stands out clearly in
his discussion of the proposed League
of Nations. The six amendments pro-
posed by Mr.. Root, if accepted by the
Peace Conference will make the
document much more acceptable to
Americans. The European diplomats
are realizing more and more that i'm
practicable Ethiopian ideas of school
master do not reflect the sentiment of
the practical citizenship of this coun-
try. Woodrow returned to Europe
few short weeks ago with the avowed
intention of raining the League of Ma
lions, as accepted by him, down the
Threats of his countrymen.
While in mid-ocean the President
wirelessed Col. House to put the lid
on discussion in Europe until he ar
rived on the scene. It seems that the
British, French, and other nations in
terested in the peace terms had
heard of the famous Round Robin of
the United States Senate, and they be-
gan to realize that perhaps after all
the pesky Yankees would have some
thing very definite to say about the
settlement terms and that the British
made League of Nations swallowed
by the President, would not be ratified.
On his arrival in France, President
Wilson in poker parlance, was "out on
a limb" he insited that the opposition
from home was really of no import
ance. 1t was noticeable however, that
very soon there began to creep
through Burleson's censored cables,
statements that the President was
considering amendments to the docu-'
ment which he pronounced as sacred
and a cure-all for mankind in his New
York speech just before sailing for
France. On March 31st Mr.. Roots |
proposed amendments were published
broadcast over the country and the
evening papers of April first carried
the story from Paris that the Peace
conference would accept his proposed
practically as he had
written them.

The present Minnesota legislature
seems bent on enacting laws that will
be of lasting benefit to the entire
state. Monday the house passed bill
establishing department of agricul-
ture, and another regulating CO.
operative associations. The objects of
both measures is to develop agricul-
tural conditions and improve market
ing facilities. 1t might be interesting
in passing to note that neither of
these bills were fathered by Mr..
Mr.. Townley's representatives.

maintained his position that the law
is good one. Continuing l said "while
you are talking to me in friendly
spirit and seem evidently DESTROYS of

tried by a court martial and upon the
testimony given by three witnesses,

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ROU-

By Leo Wolfson.

me With reference TO the h0umanlan
Jewish question took place today,
when I was received by DR.. j. Brati-
ano, the Roumanian Premier.
l met the premier at his invitation
at the Palais Drefus, on the famous
Champs Elysee, in Paris, now being
occupied as the headquarters of the
Roumanian Mission to the Peace Con-
ference. Mr.. Dreyfus, a leading
French-Jewish banker is the Rouman-
ian General Consul in Paris, and he
placed his palatial residence at the
disposition of the Roumanian govern
ment.
daily and the interview and discus
sion took place just between us two,
nobody else being present.
After he asked me for some infor-
nation about myself which / gave
him to the effect that | am travelling
as a journalist representing the In
ternational Jewish Press Bureau, and
am making a study Of the general
conditions of the Jews in Europe and
am particularly interested in the Rou-
manian Jewish question, he launched
into a presentation Of his views on
the Jewish situation in Roumania.
He began by saying that he consid-
cred that his last law decree of May
10, 1919, in his opinion completely
solved the Jewish question once and
forever. Now, he continued, there re-
mains only one thing to do, and that
is the creation of friendly relations
between the Jews and the Rouman-
ians. All that the Jews have to do
now is to file an application for citi-
zenship and it is granted them as a
matter of course, if they come with
in the rules laid down by the law.
They are now in a position to place
themselves in a sympathetic light to-
wards the Roumanian people by act
ing as a sort of uniting link between
the Hungarian and Russian Jews, who
are now becoming Roumanian Jews
by the annexation to Roumania of
Bessarabia and Pennsylvania and the
other provinces. The Jews, he contin.
ued, have made great error in in
sisting on the insertion in the Peace
Treaty Of the clause granting to the
League Of Nations or to the Great
Powers, the right to supervise the
carrying out of the terms Of the
treaty with reference to their rights
He insisted that they should have pro-
tested and expressed their confidence
in the country. AS it is he fears that
many misunderstanding may arise
and that both Roumania and the Jews
themselves will suffer by reason
thereof,
He said that he had suggested to
the Roumanian Jews to make such a
protest and that he is sorry that they
did not accept his good advice.
interjected a question to the eff
feet that If Roumania honestly in
tends to carry out the terms Of the
treaty, what reason is there to fear
such clause in the treaty, and surely
he need not fear any foreign Interior
ence on that account under such cir
substances. He replied that he con-
siders Roumania specially Inundated
by the insertion of such clause and
that the Roumanian agitation Of a
question which with all his heart he
wished and hopes to be once and for
all disposed of besides it is an invas-
ion Of the sovereign rights Of friendly
