ONLYFOURTEEN POINTS

Matthias Erzberger. head of the German armisttce
commission, declared in a speech in Berlin that the Ger
man government would accept only the fourteen points set
if anything in addition to these were proposed in the peace
terms the additional conditions would be submitted to a
vote of the German people.
President Wilson'S fourteen points do not constitute
a peace treaty. They represent rather Mr.. Wilson's con-
ception of the basic principles upon which any acceptable
socates of this nation in the war. and it was in accordance
with their spirit that the armistice terms were framed.
But the German officials know as we'll as anyone can that,
interpreted according to any common-sense plan, the pro-
gram thus laid down by Mr.. Wilson was, as it must neces-
harily be. ca pable of almost infinite variation in detail
The statement made by Erzberger, and the similar
statements that have been made from time to time by
German functionaries, have been intended. without doubt,
to throw dust in the eyes of the German people, and to
keep alive in their minds the fiction that Germany energies
from the war. if not the victor, at least undefeated, and
as she may see fit =.
AS a matter of fact, the terms of peace are being pre-
pared by the conference at Paris, and when the proper
time comes German commissioners will be invited to come
forward and sign on the dotted line. And they will sign.
They have no other course They have been defeated in
effective war; and the Allies have wisely maintained on
their soil and in their immediate vicinity sufficient forces
to render resistance futile and suicidal.

the expense Of his work as a teacher. Moreover. It should
be remembered that the special training of a school
teacher is for teaching, and not for buying and selling:
The latter. in order to be a success. calls fol, its own par
ticular specialized training. Those who have had prac-
teal training and experience in cooperative buying and
selling for a period sufficient to test it's efficiency. realize
the essentially technical business requirements involved.
These may all be summed up in the statement that you
must pay for every service you receive. and that funda-
mentally the economics secured by consumers through
cooperative buying and selling are obtained by dispensing
with certain services which they now require from the
more established trade channels" q.a.<@a.

THE GOYERNMENT AS MIDDLEMAN

During the war flour made from American wheat and
bread made from that flour were cheaper than the flour,
and bread made from the same sort of wheat in the very
districts where the wheat grew. Consequently American
millers and bakers were quite frequently charged with ex-
tortion. for it was natural, to suppose that American mill
ers and bakers right at the source Of supply could produce
flour and bread at as low a price as could their trans-At-
lantic co-laborers with distance and freights against them.
In time the fact became known that the explanation
for the conditions noted lay in the fact that the British
government had taken upon itself the functions of the
middleman and was selling wheat at a loss. This was not
due to accident. or lack of understanding. 1t was in pur-
suance of a carefully planned and deliberately adopted
policy to make bread as cheap as possible to the British
consumer, and the particular consumer whom the govern
ment had in mind was the person Of small means, to whom
bread is not only the staff, but pretty nearly the entire
equipment Of life. The government was buying wheat at
a high price and selling it at a low price in order that the
poor might be able to buy bread to eat and was collecting
the difference from the taxpayers. t
Just now the American government, in order to. full
fill a promise made to the farmers Of the country, is ar
ranging to buy all the wheat produced in the United States
this year at the agreed price of 1926 per bushel. An APP
preparation of a billion dollars has been made to meet the
loss which will be incurred in the sale of this wheat at the
anticipated lower price. One plan to which consideration
has been given is for the government to resell the wheat
or its flour equivalent in the United States at a price which
plan may be an excellent one, but we suspect that no gov
eminent authority has thought of its adoption as a perma-
nent policy. as have some people who were charmed on
the one hand with the idea of a big price to the farmer
for his wheat and on the other of a small price to the poor
man for his bread. -.
This is one of the things that has actually been sug-
gested. Uncle Sam, we are told. has been induced by the
pressure of war conditions to become a middleman, and
the prospective results are so delightful that he ought to
roal,o , ~o-rIa. <bi~~ - ;t T~ - ~thySjo I'M oue~ fha
prospect the fact is missed that when the government sells
for less than it pays it must, like anyone else. get the
money from somewhere. AS there is just one source OF
government funds. the taxpayer must pay the difference.
In the case Of Great Britain during the war. and in our
own case under the compast which was made with the
farmers. and which must be carried out, there is no ques-
ton of the propriety of the course followed. But the
adoption of a permanent policy of this sort is a different
matter.

RECONSTRUCTION WORK

Although congress adjourned without bringing to- a
vote the proposed legislation which, if enacted into law,
would have made it possible for the department Of the
interior to begin work Immediately on the construction
OF soldier settlements and provide work and homes for
thousands Of our returned soldiers, sailors and marines
on reclaimed land. the fact that the bill was favorably
reported in both the house and the senate. and the
nationwide approval Of the plan as evidenced by the
hundreds OF letters Of endorsement received daily, at the
department, have led Secretary Lane to take the. stand
that there is every reason to believe that a similar bill
win be fayorably considered at the coming special, session
Of congress He is accordingly continuing the prelim-
mary work Of investigation as far as the limited FUNDS
at his disposal will permit, and is also endeavorinx TO

SOMEBODY MUST PAY

The federal bureau of markets has devoted a great deal
of attention to the subject Of cooperative buying and
selling. and has been Of material assistance to those who
have sought to establish cooperative enterprises. But
the bureau warns the public that a cooperative business,
like any other. is subject to the operation Of certain
business principles. and that II these principles are not
observed the enterprise will be a failure. In a recent state
ment from the bureau emphasis is placed on the old, but
sometimes forgotten principle that something cannot be
made out Of nothing, and that every item of goods fur
nished, and every service performed. costs somebody some

AND THE GOVERNOR SIGNED

There was doubt in the minds of a FOOD many peopAe
as to whether or not the governor would sign the in
famous newspaper bills passed by the late legislature. But
the enormity of these bills did not impress itself on the
mind of the governor as compared with the demands Oh
the Socialist bosses and the needs of newspaper owners
who sought to have the state pull their chestnuts out or
the fire, and the signature of the executive has been ap-
pended to the newspaper monopoly bill and its COM
panion.
The first of these bills provides that there shall be
one, and only one, paper in each county in which the gov
erning bodies of county. city, village, township or school
board may have the official records of their proceedings
published, and. in which every public or private legal
notice, of whatever kind, must be published in order to
be valid. These papers-one for each county-aret to be
selected this year by the state printing commission COM
posed of state officials, and one member of which is part
owner of a newspaper. The next year, according to the
second bill. the official papers are to be chosen by the vote
of the people in each county.
The purpose of these bills is to create a newspaper
monopoly, and, generally, that would be its effect. To
many of the smaller papers the revenue which comes to
them from the publication of official notices Of various
kinds is, if not a very large, a very important item, and
ii they are derived of this revenue many of those papers
will be obliged to discontinue publication, so narrow is the
margin in those cases between profit and loss. Should
these bills go into effect it is easy to see what will happen.
Within a few months, in not a few counties. the paper
designated as. the official organ would have gone out of
business, and the remaining paper must be designated.
as there would be no other. The effect would be just
what is intended, to place a monopoly of publication in
the hands Of these publishers who are either employed
directly by the Socialist organization in st, Paul, or to
those who, while owning, or partly owning their papers,
are amenable to st. Paul instructions.

SNOW AND FROSTBITE

The lecture delivered by Mr.. Stefansson the other eve
ming was full of good things, not the least Of which was
the discussion Of things that everyone knows. but which
are not So" In this portion of the address the speaker
disposed pretty efectually of a number of beliefs which
partake largely of the superstitious, and which have little
other basis. 80 Nj
There is one point, however, on which those who
heard the address may be nised if their application OF
the speakers statements is as unreasoning as has been
the practice Of very many people. This is in relation to
the treatment Of frostbite. AS the speaker said, there is
a very prevalent opinion that the proper treatment for
frostbite is to apply snow to the affected spot. This, as
was explained, is not the Arctic practice. The traveller
there, in bitter weather, exposes as little of his face as
possible, and that little is felt constantly for evidence OF
frost. If such evidence is found the remedy used is to
apply Immediately the warmest thing available. namely,
the palm of the hand. In this matter the spot is thawed
without difficulty or bad results.
If anyone was present whose practice has been to
treat frostbite by rubbing furiously with snow at a tenn
perature Of away below zero, that person would probably
by hot applications, if such was available. 1t is to be
remembered that Mr.. Stefansson was discussing frostbite
when one must remain in the open without shelter for an
indefinite time, and was advising against the uses Of fifty
below-zero snow, and not against snow brought to the
melting point in the temperature of a warm room.
morning with a frosted cheek or nose may very properly
be treated by the application of soft, or melting snow, or,
failing that. with a cloth soaked in very cold water.
