ADVISERS NEEDED BY
COUNTRIES OF EUROPE
Thomas w. lamont Tells Harvard
Men OF Demand for Trained
Young Americans

New York. July ~. - Trained
young men to act as advisers and
guides Is the great need of Europe
in the coming era OF reconstruction.
says Thomas w. Lamont, who was
financial adviser to the American
peace commission in Paris. Mr.. La
mont. speaking before a group of
! fifty Harvard men who had assembled
] to organize a New York committee to
work in behalf of the Harvard endow-
ment fund campaign for $11, 000, 900,
said Europe looks to the United States
to supply this need for trained young
men. He told of q conversation he
had with n of the premiers at the
peace conference in regard to the re-
quirements Of Europe. This man he
quoted as saying:
More than credits. we need your
trained young men to act as u ad-
viiers, to help us n to guide us IN
tn era that lis to come"
Mr.. Lamont told Of the organiza-
| ton Of the Harvard endowment fund
before the entry OF the United States
into the war and Its abandonment in
order not to interfere with the raisins
Of funds for war purposes. Now. ne
said. the needs that were tabulated
then have increased materially.
But, he added. the country has
been educated to give. 1t Is our mis-
sion to educate II to give to Harvard.
1t remains for us, with the Harvard
alumni and the friends OF Harvard,
to put Harvard in a position to equip
young men for this new destiny"

WHERE AMERICAS
SURPLUS WHEAT GOES

The present prospect Is for Ameri-
can wheat crop of more than a billion
bushels-the largest crop America has
ever produced. For this wheat the
Government has guaranteed a base
price Of $2.26 per bushel. Calamity
howlers to the contrary, nevertheless.
this guarantee looks a good Invest
mont for the Government.
A great many people thought that
as soon as the arInistace was signed
wheat would come into Europe in
such quantities as to cause a distinct
Islump of the market. 1t was expect
ed that there were sur
pluses in Australia, India and Argen-
tine. Reports now come from Gov
Iernment officials to the effect that all
surplus wheat In Australin has been
purchased. that there is none coming
from India, and only a little from
Argentine. Actually the 1919 Austria
liam crop is just about as much as
that produced by Kansas alone.
So far as Europe itself Is concerned.
most of the farmers there have been
too busy with other things than the
growing OF wheat. The Russian far
mer is the biggest wheat producer by
far, and he has been mainly occupied
pulling whiskers, gouging eyes,. n
other sundry little pleasantries, which
do not go to make a good wheat crop.
Russia has yet to settle that tremen-
dous problem of the Bourgeoisie be-
fore 1t can settle down to prosaic
things like growing wheat and making
for. Meanwhile the American far
rnerwill continue to grub stake the
world. and for that phflanthropic
privilege he will exact his price.

greater than in the 1875 years preced-
ing the war. The gold imports in the
past five years aggregated $~l,s33.ooo,-

Contrary to the usual supposition,
foodstuffs do not hold2 first place
among the great groap of a~rtisles ex-
ported. Manufactures showed a larger
total in the export record OF the year
than did foodstuffs. In fact manufac-
lures exported were more than three
times as great in. value in the year
preceding the war. while %foodstuffs
which formed an unusually large
total, fell far below hat of manufac-
lures. Basing an estimate for the
full year upon the detailed figures of
eleven months and the grand total
for the twelfth month, 1t appear
that manufactures exported amounted
in the full year to about $3.250, 000.-
900 while foodstuffs were apparently
about So, 500, 900. 900 and manufactur-
Ing material $3.50. 600, 900, though
these are necessarily approximations,

the largest factor. while finished

says the banks statement, to the fact
that the section of the world from

total imports from Europe last year

NO QUARANTINE ON
VIRGINIA WHEAT

At a recent hearing before the
federal horticultural board in Wash
ingtop 1t was ordered thai there
should be no quarantine against the
sale Of Virginia wheat either for
milling or seed purpose. on account
of the wheat nematodes. While It
was brought out in the hearing that
nematodes or eel worms have appear
ed in a number OF counties. evidence
was plentiful that nothing could be
effected by a quarantine, as they are
only spread through the gals in the
wheat. which can be readily removed
By gravity.
These gals or defective wheat
grains containing the eel worms, can
be easily detected as they are smaller
than the whole grain and are q dark
copper color. Wheat that contains
these gals should not be sown or
offered for sale for seed purposes.
Farmers whose wheat contains
these gals. should write the United
States department Of agriculture.

FRANK VANDERBILT
DEFINES SUCCESS

The popular impression hal 90 per
cent of our rich men did not make
their fortunes honestly. is a gross mis-
conception" Mr.. Frank A. Vanderbilt
recently remarked to a writer in
Forbes Magazine. Hardly anybody
who has made several million dollars,
on looking back. but would find he had
done something he wished he had left
. undone, just as any writer or speaker,
on looking back, would find he had
written or said some things he would
| rather have left unwritten or unsaid.
Hindsight is always clearer than fore
sight. But any statement that n
man. because he Is worth a million or
more is a rascal. Is simply nonsense. l
would sooner take the word of a man
who has earned a million dollars than
I would take the word. for example. of
n popuiist or a demagogue or a man
who has been a failure in business.
Generally speaking. a man with a mil
lion dollars has got II because he has

public. Your average millionaire has
worked with other men and has been
found honest and upright. Sometimes,
of course. a man has become wealthy
through some Invention OF lUed. Dut
these cases are exceptional. Business.
broadly speaking. is fair dealing.
Success, however, cannot be meas
ured solely by dollars. A mar may be-
como a millionaire and may pay his
bills when due and render unto other
people that which Is due them without
being a success at all in he true
meaning Of the word. To make a sue
