TIE GREAT VALUE
OF COLD STORAGE
CBy JEAN PRESCOTT ADaMs)


Cold storage looms up as the possi-
bic solution OF the nations food prob
lem. They provide a means for stor-
ing up the excess supplies Of the har-
vest season. and for letting them Out
gradually during the non-productive
months, iast as the Irrigation dam
stores up water Of the spring freshet
and lets II out again when the drought
comes.
Government Investigators have es-
tabl shed the worth Of cold storage
product so that there can be no prej-
udlce against supplies from reputable
houses. The trouble In the past II is
charged. has been due 10 passing OF
as cold storage wares fresh produce
that had partly spoiled and was then
frozen.
The real cold storage produce Is A
No. in every particular, In fact some
articles are reputed to be better for
having been frozen and stored. For
instance. many connoisseurs prefer cold
storage chickens 10 the fresh one on
the ground that they are more tender
and have a better taste.
Improving the taste, however, is not
the real function OF the cold storage.
lis real worth lies in its ability 10
carry the produce from the season
OF plenty over into the season Of scar
city and TO maintain reasonable mar
ket prices throughout the year. Were
II not for cold storages. perkhable
foods would either be grown In very.
small quantities. or else the bot
tom would drop out OF prices when
the harvest was on. and the growers
would be ruined. Immediately follow
ing this overload the supply would

of doing entirely without or at best,
of paying m enormously high price
for the article.
Cold storages. however. provide 3
market when the big harvest is on
and keep prices from falling TO ruinous
levels. Then later. when the fresh sup
ply is gone, the stored product finds
its way out on the market and pre-
vents either a prohlbltlve high price
or an absolute disappearance Of the
supply.

coming into its proper recognition.

Breaking AWay

GFrom the New York Tribune.1
The Cle> eland Plain Dealer, a rep
resentative Democratic uswspaDcr
Of Ohio, has been n strong and con-
sistent supporter of the Adrninistra =
ton with reference to the league and
peace project.
But the Plain Dealer, i'm viaw of
the facts, is not willing to stultify
Itself by lodging responsibility for II,
treaty hold-up elsewhere than where
it belongs. 1t finds that particula r
responsibility rests with the presi-
dent. 1t says: THE treaty can he
laid before the Senate again only
upon his volition. The treaty is in
the Presidents hands. RESPONSE
bility for initiating its ratification is
upon him."
In New York Administration or
gans, in an endeavor to serve purti-
san ends. continue their efforts to
place the blame on the Senate. They
jugGle the facts. The combination
of the Borah-J j ohnson irreeoncilables
and the Administration Senators de-
feated ratification. and now the
treaty is not under parliamentary
consideration because the President
Wills it so.
The situation is too plain to permit
misrepresentation to be long success
full. Other Democratic newspapers
will testify to the truth, as The Plain
Dealer does.

Two days before George Wash

ton as first President of the United
States he went to Fredericksburg to
pay what proved to be his last visit
to his venerable mother. On com
ing into her presence he said: The

to elect me to the chief magistracy
of the United States; but before l can

Wing America Is SIoW
[From Kansas City TimesI


Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech in the
house of commons shows natural.
if concealed, impatience over
Americas slowness with the peace
treaty. 1t is difficult for British
premier to realize just the conditions
that have produced this situation.
Before Mr.. Lloyd George went to
the peace conference he asked the
country for a vote of confidence and
SVt it. Had he failed he would not
have gone to Paris. Before Mr.. Will
son went to the conference he asked
the country for vote of confidence
and was turned down. Nevertheless
he went to Paris and insisted on
negotiating a covenant for a League
of Nations which was a radical de-
parture from the Nations foreign
policy. lie did this not only in the
face of the country's adverse vote,
but without consulting the leaders
of the opposition whose consent he
had to have to ratify the work done
in Paris.
Such situation would be almost
inconceivable to a British statesman,
where no public man can remain in
office after he has lost the support
of the people as represented in the
House of Commons. But since Mr..
Lloyd George recognizes that it
actually exists he will see that the
treaty has precipitated in America a
contest between democratic govern
ment and executive autocracy which
must be settled in favor of democ-
racy before the treaty can be rati-
fled.
The treaty of peace could be rati-
fed to-day provided it could be
separated from the League Covenant
which the President has sought to
force through the Senate against it's
will by making it rider on the
peace settlement.

Offers ReLDdrd in Vain
[From Kansas City TimesI

From Kansas City Times1
When an editor uses canned edi-
torials, he knows he is laying him
self open to the scorn of his ex-
changes, which see through the de-
ception, but a good many think that
is offset by the flattering prestige
they win in their home towns by the
knowledge and wit unknowing read
ers give them credit for. But some
thing always happens, soon or late,
to expose their hypocrisy. and just
now Mitchell White adds to the
Christmas joy of this department by
writing that a certain Missouri
country editor has been cured.
Pressed for time. he measured off a
yard of the syndicated copy and let
it go to the printer without reading
it carefully. Not till the paper was
in the mails did he learn that one
of the canned editorials warmly
criticized certain public matter
which his wife the previous day had
praised in club paper. TO make
matters worse, the editorial said all
who held opinions similar to those
his wife had expressed were lacking
in the normal amount of gray mat
ter. At last accounts the editor still
was alive, but was offering a ton of
newsprint to anyone who could
show him way to save both his
skin and his face. Moral: No edi-
tor should print anything he won't
take time to read himself.

A WISE CHOICE

N OVERNOR SPROUL could not
Vt choose a better qualified ma"
than former Lieutenant Cover
nor Frank B. McClain, of Lancaster,
for head of a Fair Price Committee
in PENNSYLVANIA. Mr.. McClain was
one of the most active representa-
tives of the State governm ent on the
National Defense Commission during
the war and he is familiar with every
line of food production and sale
from its source to the ultimate con-
sumer. He is aggressive and cour-
ageous, but. with all, wisely conser-
vative, and the public can expect
absolute fairness at his hands, so far
as that is humanity possible in price
regulation.
But let nobody expect too much
from the work of Fair Price Com
mittees, either statewide in scope OF
local. 1t is to be suspected that
Governor Sproul has his own ideas

SIGNS OF PEACE

~ IGNS are not lacking that on
both sides of the political fence
~ at Washington members of the
Senate are growing restive over de-
lay in getting some final action OIL
the Peace Treaty. 1t ought to De
possible to have the Senate adopt
the treaty with such reservations as
will protect America and at the same
time prove acceptable to n majority
of the Democrats.
That, we believe. is what the
American, people want. They are not
opposed to the treaty in any form
that will leave their independence
and liberties unendangered and un-
questioned, and they would breathe
a sigh of relief if the whole thing
were done with and out of the way.
They are not as much interested.
possibly, as they ought to be, in the
affairs of Europe, but they are might
ily interested in every question of Il
domestic nature, and it is evident that
before we can reach u peace basis at
home we must have returned to
peaceful relations with the world at
large. We are just now in an impos-
sible position.
The fault mainly lies with Presi-
dent Wilson'S refusal to regard the
rights of America first and our rela-
tions with Europe secondly, but
there are hard heads on both sides
and the American people are becom-
ing more and more impatient of un-
necessary delays.
Those who are interested politi-
cally should take these thoughts to
themselves. IL they have any regard
for their own party preferences and
personal interests in the coming
campaign.

GO TO IT, ADMIRAL

n + ALL the officers in the serv-
abuses of power and influence
under the Wilson administration,
Admiral Sims alone has dared speak
his mind in public. His letter to
Secretary Daniels contains censure
for the head of the Navy in every
line. There can be no lodging of
responsibility, and the Secretary's
reply is weak and self-convicting.
The Admiral clearly. proves that ia
voritism was shown in the award of
service medals and the implication
is made that the Secretary's own
son-in-law, who was given the high
est award, even though he lost his
ship, was one of those Mr.. Daniels
chose for special distinction.
AS Admiral Sims says, the COM
mander of the fleet is the only man
competent to Judge the merits of the
men under him and if his recon-
mendations in the matter of awards
for service and personal valor are
to be set aside. then the whole merit
system in the Navy fails, much to the
hurt of the high morale that has
marked it on every occasion when
it's services We're ia demand.
Americans generally will admire
the straightforward methods of Ad-
miral Sims. 1t is fine thing to know
that the ranking officer of the Navy
is a man of strong personal convic-
ton, as willing to enter the lists of
diplomacy against unfair methods
of government as he was to face the
Hun on the high seas.

UP TO ALL OF Us

TN THE sending out of a calendar
for the new year one of the
big corporations at Youngstown
makes this comment:
1t is accompanied by our
fervent good wishes and the
hope that we, who hold service
to our customers as our greatest
obligation, may be able during
the year to render this service
unhindered by conditions such as
have attended much of the year
just ending.
The industrial and commercial
skies will brighten with the
growth of understanding that
real peace and prosperity can
come only through productive
effort on the part of each indi-
vidual in his chosen field Of
labor.
There is a whole serm on in the
last paragraph of this statement
and the emphasis must be placed
by every individual upon the last
clause which places the responsible
ity squarely upon the shoulders of
each one of us. We can get back
to solid ground only through real
effort and by cooperating along all
legitimate lines of endeavor.
