FARMERS MUST
Be PROTECTED,
SAYS HOOVER
Continued From Page onej

November this problem was already
facing me as one among many
others for which assistance had to
be found. in the protection Of our
American farmers, lest from failure
to find a market for his products
during the armistice and pending the
wider markets of peace his prices
might fall below his cost of produc-
ton, entailing great waste of sur
plus commodities.
1--WE have found ii possible to pro-
tect the American farmer in the two
and one-half months since the ar
mistice. This we have done by CO.
operating with the allies, in opening
wider markets to neutral countries
and by relief shipments into the lib
Grated territories. The next and
last six weeks of the high fat pro-
duction season will be still more diff
ficult to manage, as price cannot be
expected in that time, restoring ex-
tended markets.
"On the other hand, fve-sixths Of
this problem is already completed
and by next May, if we have peace
and freedom, any surplus that ac-
cumulates now will be turned into
another world shortage Of fats In
deed, if the entire consuming popu-
lations of the world were able to OBJ
tain fats today, there would be
shortage at this momenh even with

Jews in BuenOS Aires
MiStreated DURING Riots

Buenos Aires, Jan. 26.-A large
group of representative Israelites
visited President Irogoyen to protest
against the treatment of Jews and
grand rabbi, in an address to the
president, said:
During the recent disturbance
Jews were the victims Of unjust
atrocities and inexcusable insults.
Under the suspicion that some Rus
slams were among the agitators the
entire Jewish population, without
distinction as to age or sex, were
prosecuted and maltreated, without
the slightest respect even toward
women, children or the aged, leaving
an adverse and hostile atmosphere
against the entire Jewish population
throughout the republic, which still
exposes US to new attacks and re-
prisals at any moment, under any
pretext."

lection.

Preparing Data on PREPARATION.
Speaking of claims for PREPARATION,
NJ. Pichon said that France and all
the other countries interested were
preparing data, but it would take
some time to arrive at exact figures.
The published reports concerning
the amount of the claims varied, and
it was impossible, the minister
added, to give the exact figures at
present.
Territorial questions, he went on,
were beginning to be considered
now in connection with the various
questions before the council. AS to
the possibility of the discussion of
the league of nations delaying ter
ritorial adjustments, he said:
"Not at all, as the examination of
the two questions proceeds along
parallel lines"
Relative to the French attitude
toward the holding of the left bank
of the Rhine, NJ. Pichon declared
that various published reports were
premature and more or less incor-
rect. When his attention was called
to remarks which Marshal Foch re-
Gently made on the subject, NJ.

issued against bonds which were put
in the Bank of France as a basis for
currency issued. In the meantime
however, the enormous loans have
been made to France by the United
States, and the enormous loans made
to Great Britain by the United
States have practically petered the
rate of exchange while preserving
artihciaily a rate of exchange which
inhicts great loss upon the United
States and its merchant buying in
France.
The French authorities appreciate
that it is against Frances inter-
national interests to have currency
inflated, because foreigners cannot
afford to buy French goods where
French currency has not the pur-
chasing power on a gold basis and
foreigners actually buy French
francs on gold par basis.
The condition necessarily results
in preventing foreigners from buy-
ing freely in the French markets,
thus hindering France in explaining
its foreign commerce and meeting its
obligations to other nations through
an exchange of commodities.
1t may be anticipated, therefore,
that the French statesmen will take
steps necessary to bring the per CAPT
ia circulation of money down to a
basis fairly comparing with the per
capita circulation in Great Britain
and the United States.
Boys Want to Come Home.
In the meantime, as the United
States is suffering a probable loss of
$l00,000,000 monthly due to this
condition, it is obvious that this fur
nishes another reason to redouble
our efforts to bring the soldier boys
of America back home. These boys
willingly endured every hardship,
thousands making the supreme sac
rifces for the Liberties and the hap
piness OF mankind.
The one great thing the Ameri-
can boys now desire, particularly
the enlisted men, is to get back
home. They are homesick. They
say so frankly.
And it is better for America to
furnish food, suffering part of the
loss as its contribution, than not to
furnish at all.
If we do not sell to Europe, we
shall engorge our own markets,
breaking the market prices and in
ficting heavy loss upon the pro-
ducers awaiting shipment of their
goods to Europe. We would suf-
fer smaller national loss selling on
possible terms than not selling at
ali.
Certain il is that both human and
commercial instincts move the Unit
ed States to furnish the food now
required.
