Strong.
OATS DECLINES AT CLOSE

Corn prices yesterday were strong
throughout the day due TO the hrmnes,
In hogs, the early position OF oats and
the unexpected report OF a decrease in
the visible supply. The selling Of wheat
at S2.22 at the opening Of the Winnipeg
market was construed bullishly by the
trade. Hogs again became a factor In
the corn market when they advanced
20 to rs points. Oats in the early trad
ing were strong, due to reports of crop
damage and poor threshlng returnR
Profit taking caused that grain to slump
In the afternoon, but Just then the re-
port OF visible supply was issued The
unexpected decrease checked selling in
sympathy with oats and caused shorts
to cover and others to use caution. The
visible supply is now a,8a9,0 900 bushels
the lowest point OF the year. There are
no prospects of an increase because
wheat is being moved There are re-
ports of car shortage. in the West The
Winnipeg wheat opening was taken to
mean that the Canadian farmer realised
that his American neighbor was getting
a good price for his produce and wouldn't
make any EFFORT to undersell him.
Weather conditions over Sunday were
excellent, but there were reports yes
terday that parts Of the crop needed
rain. Those advices caused some buying
in the afternoon. The cash market was
strong on reports that the Corn Products
Company strike had been partially set
tied. The settlement will increase de-
mand. Settlement of the labor difficul-
ties at the packing plants also helped
tbs trade. The country element was on
tho outside looking in yesterday, having
dropped in the break last week. Pro-
fessionals who bought when corn was
low were anxious to see corn go up and
many took their profits on yesterdays
rise.
Oats was Irregular. opening strong
only to decline In the afternoon. Re
ports of crop damage continued to come
in and added to them are others OF poor
threshng returns
The cash demand was fairly active
The visible supply showed a decrease
Heavy commission house profit taking
and lack OF export inquiry CAUSED prices
to recede in the afternoon. Provisions
were dull but strong, due TO frmness In
grain and hog markets and the reported
settlement of the packers strike.

PARLOR LSHEVlSM

T les are poor weapons in any battle.
IL The simple truth is always deadly
when it is adhered to in any conflict be-
tween right and wrong. So many wild
accusations have been made against the
boshevists and their soviets that many
nationally minded people hesitate to be-
lieve what is true. Bolshevism is politi-
cal doctrine especially made for base or
primitive minds. 1t must have a basis
in the sort of class hatred developed in
Russia through generations of ignorance
and inhuman oppression. 1t is imprac-
tical and destructive. But it was not
fourked with any view to wholesale mur-
der nor do its leaders attempt to set
aside the laws of common morality.
Parlor bolshevists, though they often
deserve the derision of world puzzled
by ladies and gentlemen who rise in
dress clothes to preach the glories of
poverty and the simple life, seem at least
to be fumblng after truth. Raymond
Robins is parlor bolshevist who knows
Russia and seemingly recognizes what is
Just in the cause of the Russian masses.
Yet his review of the Lenne regime was
more destructive, as criticism, than most
of the twaddle sent broadcast from Euro
pean capitals by reactionaries with spe-
cial interests to serve.
Russia is suffering from an extreme re-
action that would be possible nowhere
else. Centuries of error and cruelty in
government are being atoned for. Boil
shevism will subside as it began, but it is
question whether the Russian people
can ever be so wrong minded or. so bar
barous as the government they over
threw

And baby lips on the mothers brehst
Blot out the losses beyond recall;
The robin sings as he builds his nest
And life is worth living after all.

And tender the hands that cling to ours.
And after this world with its sun and it's

Sound is the sleep under drifting flowers
And life is worth living when life is done.

OUT OF EUROPE

EVER since the signing Of the armi-
~ stice the government has manifested
an undisguised eagerness to get every
American soldier out of Europe at the
earliest possible moment. This desire
has a definite significance for every
European statesman, If our troops are
swiftly on the move homeward and if, as
the army officers say, they will have all
the men across by the end of summer, It
is only because extraordinary efforts
have been made to this end
!. Here is actual notice to the world that
the United States contemp,ates no
alliances that will be entanglng in the
sense contemplated by older statesmen.
If little wars are to break out, if eXclu-
siye groups are to stir their peoples to
strife with false pretenses, if there are
! to be private ambitions that can be salts
fled only with random military expedi-
tions here and there, Americans will have
none of it,
The United States helped Europe on
the way to permanent peace. We have
contributed much to a philosophy of ma
tional relationships that actually brings
permanent peace within sight If there
is not enough self-control among Euro
pean diplomatists to make a peace that
will last, then they are to be left to take
their desperate chances among them
selves-and with their peoples.

IN CAMDEN and the neighboring com
1 munities and elsewhere throughout
Jersey the indignant citizenry find them
selves squeezed between the alternatives
of sevcn-cent trolley fare and system
of zone charges that certainly would
inf1ict hardship on suburbanites and
hinder suburban development.
They cannot be banned if they make
the wekin ring with outcries of pain and
determined objection. Within plain
sight of them are trolley corporations
zooming along prosperously with five
cent rate. The Public Utilities Commits
sion, which granted the service corpora
tion a right to add an additional cent to
its fares, pending decision in the mat
ter of zones. didn't help the people of
New Jersey to a calmer state Of mind
when it put the losses of a recent costly
strike among the reasons advanced to
justify larger revenue for the street
car company.
A street-car ride should not be put in
the list of luXures. 1t is a necessity.
The people of New Jersey wi; be justified
in pushing their case further before the
Utilities Commission. Their trolley lines
, are not noted for efficient service. They
have a right to inquire whether the in
creased fares are made necessary by
legitimate costs of operation or by the
sort of easy-going and unscentific man
agement that is reflected too often in the
character of the service given to street
car riders in Camden.
