EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL
CONDITIONS.
Official Report Indicates Long
Continued Demand for Staple
American Farm Products

The Secretary of Agriculture
has just given out a statement
summarizing the results of 8
study of agricultural conditions
in England, France and Italy
which was made by special
Commission appointed in August
1918. The Commission arrived in
Liverpool on September s., 1918
and made its Investigations be-
tween that date and October 20.
1918, when it left Liverpool for
this country.
The commission consisted Of w.
o. Thompson, President of Ohio
State University, Chairman; Carl
Vrooman, Assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture; r. A. Pearson, Pres
ident Iowa State College of Agri-
culture; Thomas F. Hunt, Dean of
the College of Agriculture, Uni
versity of California; William A.
Taylor, Chief of the Bureau of
Plant Industry; David r. Coker,
Cotton Grower, Hartsville, S. c.;
George M. Rommel, Chief of the
Division of Animal Husbandry !;
and George R. Argo, of the
Bureau of Markets.
Although the work of the Com
mission was completed prior to
the Armistice, which was sign
edon November II, the suggest
ions and recommendations are of
special economic value in connec-
tion with the appraisement of the
agricultural responsibilities Of
the United States for the year
1919, and also for the years inn
immediately following. Further
more they disclose certain new
angles of international response
bility and interest, as explained in
the following paragraphs quoted
from the Secretary's summary Of
the Commissions report:
Some of the outstanding facts
are:
Great Britain's war agricul-
ture in 1918 increased her home
grown bread supplies fourfold.
Frances production of foods
decreased sharply, especially in
sugar beets, which were grown
principally in the nothern area,
where the ravages of war were
greatest.
Frances production of bread
stuffs also declined, though the
production of breadstuffs also de-
clined, though the production of
1918 was somewhat better than
the production of 1917.
In Italy there has been some
reduction of the cultivated area,
but except for wheat the reduc-
tion in the volume of breadstuffs
has not been very serious.
'Italy's wheat production in
1913 was estimated at 100000
quintals (220 pounds), compared
with 46,l53,000 quintals in 1914.

CLARK PAYS
HIGH TRIBUTE To
AMERICAN LABOR
FORMER SPEAKER AFFIRMS HIGH
STANDARD is \ NATTER FOR
NATIONAL CONGRATULATION

New Orleans, Sept. 23.-The sou.
ton of the differences between labor
and capital lies in the scheme for
protit-sharng, Champ Clark Of Mis-.
sOurl, congressman and former speak.
er of the house of representatives.
told the delegates here today at the
fifteenth annual convention of the As.
soclated Advertising clubs of the world.
Congressman Clark was speaking for
the consumer in the triangular dis.
cussion Of capital, labor and the con.
sumer
The plan for profit sharing said
the speaker, so far as | know. was
first preached and put into prac.
tee 10y n. o Nelson, of st. Louis, and
New Orleans. 1t will require much
pains and thought to work out the
details of the plan ana bring II to per.
iection, but it certainly is not beyond
our ability for ordering things. Labor,
capital and consumer should be
friends, not enemies They are nee
cssalN to each other Labor without
capital would be futile. Capital with
out labor would be as useless as a
painted ship upon painted ocean,
Without consumers, capital and labor
would be without occupation.
The thoughts and efforts of all
good citizens should be directed to fair
play for all three The high class of
American labor is a matter for ma
| tional congratulation and should be
universally cherished. On the other
hand, nobody should have any pre-.
acquired capital provided he secured
it honestly. What people really and
reasonably object to is being skinned
within an inch of their lives.
some time next month, President
Wilson will call a convention Of labor,
capital and farmers in Washington FOR
a free exchange of opinions in laud
able effort to establish justice and
abiding peace among them. 1t is a
tremendous undertaking and all men
and women of good sense and patriot
| ism hope and pray that it will result
| in complete success.
so far as we are concerned one Of
the principal questions with which we
should wrestle is how to increase our
foreign trade--a problem that should
interest every citizen of the republic,
from the highest to the lowest, from
the poorest to the richest. Upon the
increase of our foreign trade rests
in largest measure the future pros
perity Of this mighty republic

QUELL APPLAUSE
OF THE GALLERIES
MEN APPLAUD WHILE WOMEN
WAIVE ARMS AND SHOUT
THEIR APPROVAL

Washington, Sept % How to put
an end to the demonstrations in the
galleries during discussion of the peace
treaty is troubling senators almost as
much as is the league of nations
Although applause by the galleries
a direct violation Of senate rules--has
been more or less of a problem since
the treaty was brought before the SEN
ate I'm open executive session the
matter of enforcing the senate rule
was brought to a decisive stage late
yesterday, when, after Senator Reed,
democrat, Missouri, had concluded a
four.hour attack on the league, the
galleries applauded vigorously. Men
cappcd their hands and stamped their
feet in approval Of the Missouri sen
ator's speech, while women waved
their arms and shouted.
When Senator Ashurst, democrat,
Arizona, a league supporter, arose 10
condemn the action of the galleries he
was met with wave of Kissing At.
tompt4 Of President Pro.Tcmpore Cum
Minis to stop the demonstration were in
vain.
Suggestions came from several sen
ators today that the galleries be closed
during treaty debate but these met
objection from the proponents of the
plan to conduct the treaty fight in open
session
The next move in consideration of
the treaty with Senator Johnson, re
publican, California, who returned
early today from his speaking tour in
opposition to the league Of nations,
senators Lodge. Massachusetts, and
Hitchcock. Nebraska, leaders in the
treaty contest announced that the
amendment, sponsored by Senator
Johnson, to Article Three of the league
covenant to eQualize the voting
strength of the United States and
Great Britain would be called up if the
California senator desired. Nearly a
week of debate was expected to pre-
ccdc vote ON the amendment which
will constitute test of the strength
of the two factions.

OF ASHHURST OF ARIZONA

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Pen

clared In the senate that President vii
son and his party brought back from
the Paris peace conference jewels and
other gifts from crowned heads. which
ne had been told were worth more than
one million dollars.
lnterrupting a speech by Senator
Ashhurst, democrat, of Arizona, who
said that in 1910 it had been proposed
to prohibit acceptance of gifts from for
eign rulers by the president, Senator
Penrose asked if the Arizona senator
had in mind gifts made President vii
son while in Europe.
Il know nothing of that" Senator
Ashhurst replied, but if any democrat
accepted such gifts he would receive
my condemnation as quickly as if he
were a republican"

and Austrian delegates.
Whether or not they will be allowed

SECRET AUSTRIAN
PAPERS D|VULGE
PRE- WAR SECRETS
ALLEGED PLOT OF MEETING OF
PRIVY COUNCIL July, 1914,
Is NOW EXPOSED

Vienna. Saturday, Sept 20.-There
were made public today, from the arch
ives of the Austro-Hungarian govern
ments, minutes of the meeting of the
privy council i'm July. 1914, when il was
virtually decided to begin war on Ser
bia. According to the publication the
ministry Of Austria-Hungary, especially
Count Leopold Won Berchtold, foreign
minister, was solely responsible for the
outbreak of hostilities.
The minutes show the meeting to have
been opened by Count Won Berchtold
who pleaded for an immediate resort
to arms against Serbia, stating that
Italy and Rumania could he compen.
sated afterwards for not having been
consulted beforehand"
Count stephen Tisza, then Hungarian
premier, opposed the war, demanding
that diplomatic action he taken first
and then that an ultimatum of an ac.
ceptable nature be sent.
Only in case both failed would he
have resorted to arms.
Count Won Berchtold thereupon said:
Now is the right moment because
Germany is ready to assist"
Count TiSza again warned against the
danger Of general European war as a
result Of steps which were contemplat.
ed. whereupon Count Won Berchtold
said:
"The opportunity is so favorable that
immediate action is necessary"
Finally a resolution was adopted that
such far-roaching demands be made Of
Serbia, that she could not fulfill them
and thus a way would be opened to a
resort to arms.
Count Tisza demanded to see the III.
timatum before it was sent to Serbia.
saying, II am willing to resign if it
is direct opposition to my views"
On the afternoon of the same day
another meeting was held at which the
mobilization of the army was discussed.
The chief of staff was asked by the
war minister if it was possible to effect
u mobilization which would appear to
he against Serbia only, but at the same
time make it possible to meet Russia,
also, if the troops could be spared, and
to keep Rumania in fear of invasion.
Plans which were made were not dis.
closed in the publication.
The minutes say the council then dis
cussed the probability of a general Eu.
ropean war and what course the Aus.
trian government would take. This lat
ter point, and any decision that was
reached relative to it, are also omitted.
At this meeting, Count Won Berchtold
expressed a satisfaction that those di.
vergencies of views among the coun.
cillors which might have frustrated a
war are disappearing.
The document concludes with a copy
of a note from the late Emperor Francis
Joseph, stating that he had taken no.
tice of the contents of the units and
had assigned them with his own hand"
