weather bureau was taken away from
the army and put in cnsrge of the de-
partment of agriculture so that the
farmers and all interested in the pro-
duction and distribution Of food might
have comprehensive information as to
rainfall and weather representations.
Protecting Nation's Food Supply.
From all this he reasoned that the
government recognized it as a proper
function of government to encourage,
aid and protect agriculture, and: he
held that it was the duty of the gov
eminent to guard against any shortage
in the food supply of the nation. There
fore, he said, when this great under
lying industry stood in need Of funds
for operation or for development. it
was clearly the duty of the govern
ment and clearly within it's rightfui
powers to provide the means by which
the necessary funds could be placed at
the disposal of those engaged in the
cultivation of the SOIL
Here is q great activity he said.
(which has received financial support
from the foundation. of the govern
ment.
Our position is that the federal gov
ernment was competent in the applica-
ton Of money and investment OF
moneys III the stock of the federal
Iszld banks. . organize these banks
and 10 invest moneys in their stock, to
these purposes. and to provide for the
issue Of bonds for these purposes. Be
ing competent to do this. the govern
menf could organize whatever agencies
we're necessary and convenient and
could authorize them to borrow to do
this thing for the government"
Bonds Had TO Be Exempt.
Mr.. Hughes contended that as con-
gress could create tile land banks as
corporations and clothe them with
power to lend money and to issue
bonds, the government could, of course,
protect these corporations and these
bonds issued by them from discussion
or impairment by any action. He said
lhaL as the power. 10 TAX was the
power to destroy" the government, of
course, had the right to exempt these
bonds from taxation. And this rule,
he said, had particular force in this
case, as the bonds of these banks had
to be sold in competition with other
tax-exempt securities, and that with
out their being tax exempt money
could not be secured for the farmers
at low rates OF interest To help the
farmer the rate had to be low, and to
get the low rate the bonds had to be
exempt from taxes.

Governments Duty to Aid Farming.
Mr.. Hughes pointed out that from
the earliest history Of this nation there
has been continuous disbursement of
hubble money in aid OF agricultural de-
Velopment. He showed how, while
congress had not attempted to operate
Farms and had not stepped into any
state to legislate as to the use OF farm
lands, still congress had provided IN
formation, had disseminated instruc-
gfNns, had distributed seeds, and had
supported in every manner which was
deemed wise, the great national inter-
est of agriculture. He told how the
government had sought to protect agri-
culture from great pests such as the
gypsy moth, the brown-tail moth, the
boil weevil. or even the grasshopper--
ali for the general welfare.
He showed how the government had
provided for the distribution Of seeds
OF new and useful varieties and how 1t
had provided for the introduction and

how II had provided also for the estab-

Special Dispatch to Great Falls Daily
Tribune and Chicago Tribune.
Washington. Dec. 23.-Just why there
is sugar shortage, who is to blame
and what should be done about it are
questions answered in a dozen different
ways. Among the causes given for the
present serious scarcity are the follow
ing:
Greater consumption per individual
than ever before.
Excessive exports to Europe.
Closing of sugar refineries for sew
mems strike. which tied up thousands of
tons in Atlantic ports and cut off steam
ship traffic.
IIoarding of sugar by manufacturers
and individuals as a result of agitation
over the situation.
Representative iIausen. of Iowa,
chairman of the house committee on agri-
culture. estimates the world shortage at
1000 900 tons. He bases his figures on
the theory that the consumption of sugar
per individual is much greater than ever
before. the pre-War consumption III the
United States being S3 pounds a year,
that during the war about - pounds
and at present about % pounds.
That the United States is not get
ting its share of the sugar but that too
much is being exported is the conten-
tion of Representative Dallinger, of
Massachusetts. embargo champion.
Representative Martin, of Louisiana,
however. who is himself a sugar grower,
blames the shortage chiefly on the long
shoremens strike which. he says, tied
up 100000 tons of sugar in the Allan
tie ports. put out Of commission many
ships engaged in the trade and caused
the refineries to shut down for several
weeks because of the want of raw ma
terial
He insists that with the strike no lon
ger on and the sugar refineries running
day and night and the domestic beet
sugar now being placed on the market
and the Cuban crop beginning to reach
the United States about Jan. !. it will
be only a question of short time be-

Der. totalled 1856 distinct raids. are be-
coming much more frequent despite the
advent of winter, with the result, it is
stated in well-informed circles. that the
Japanese situation has become SO pre-
carious as to require immediate rein
forcements or withdrawal. American
troops are further to the east and. con-
sequently, have suffered much less than
the Japanese soldiers from the raids
Ambassador Shidehara has been in
consultation with Secretary Lansing re-
garding measures to be taken to meet
the rapidly increasing danger These
conferences are still progressing.
1t has been said here that it did not
appear, in view of the sentiment in the
country, the American forces in Siberia
can be strengthened. yet officials still
deem it wise to maintain at least some
show of military force in Siberia, unless

laps FEAR MASSCRE.
If the United States does not care
to go further into Siberia. or even to add
sufficient strength to its troops now
there to meet the new developments. the
Japanese are said to feel that it is their
duty to hold their present lines, even
though it be necessary to add to the
number of their troops.
1t has been explained to the United
States government that withdrawal
of Japanese troops would be followed by
the massacre of all of the Russian in
habitants who have given support to the
japanese and Americans, and the seizure
by the bolsheviki of the entire line of
the Siberian railway upon which the peo-
pie of the interior depend for system
ance.
For the Japanese the situation then
would be made acute, it is said. because
of the advent Of bolshevism right up to
the borders Of Korea and across the
narrow straits to the Japanese main
lands of Asia.
The exchanges between the two gov
neutrality-suspicious. of both de
clare-so far have been characterized
by the best spirit and the Japanese gov
ernment has taken special pains to make
the United States government under
stand that it desires to act in perfect
harmony with it in this matter.
