FARM TO TABLE
FAD A FLAT
FAILURE
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, April 20. = The
plan of the parcelpost
has failed to dent the high cost of
living, post office officials admitted
today.
Despite the fact that when the
measure was proposed in Congress its
advocates declared it would bring
down prices Of farm products, it APP
pears to have done nothing toward
sapping the advance of butter, eggs,
poultry, meat, etc.,
"There is little indication that the
parcel post will bring down war
boosted prices for any great number
of people" declared Director Of Post
offices Ryan in an interview on the
subject. He indicated the wealthy
people were about the only ones pro-
fitting by the parcels post shortcut

working for years to make this sys-
tenn general, people generally seem
unwilling to patronize it." he said.

workers, thinking they would be glad
of the chance to get produce fresh

they failed almost completely to re-

"Then I tried the more prosperous,
so-called, middle class. The result
was practically the same.
FINALLY / circularized the rich
people. They responded rather gen.
orally.
"Peopls seem to prefer to go to the
corner store for their produce and
pay more because it's more handy
than ordering days ahead from the
farmer. The transferable plan has
not done what the department expect
ed of it."
Under the farm-to-table plan, the
postoffce worked to bring farmer and
city consumer into contact. Post
masters of many big cities had print
ed and distributed circulars giving
the names and addresses of farmers
willing to sell and deliver by parcel
post their butter, eggs and produce

the removal of Postmaster General
General Burleson.
The new party will be managed by

EDUCATION, NOT FORCE

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Edu-
cation and not arbitrary suppression
is the remedy for extreme revolu-
tionary industrial propaganda, says
Ex-Governor Bass, of New Hamp-
shire, in his report as director of the
marine and dock industrial relations
division of the United States Shipping
Board.
"The time has passed when the ap-
peal to patriotism will have any in
fluence" he says. Revolutionary in
dustrial propaganda can never he
stilled by arbitrary suppression, by
court decisions, by Imprisonment or
by strong arm methods. In my opin-
ion, the use of these methods con
stitutes grave national danger. 1t will
ieopardize our whole industrial orr
ganization and present system of civ
ilized development and will destroy
our present form of government.
"The kind of disorganizing propa-
ganda now so far-reaching in its scope
can not be forcibly suppressed. It
can only be successfully combated by
enlightened sound and universal edu-
cation among those whom this pro-
paganda is intended to reach"
Mr.. Bass conclusions are based
upon more than a years experience
with the shipping board in the hand
ling of marine and longshore labor
problems.

SARAJEVO, April 29.--This little

BANK DIRECTOR IN.
|SAN FRANCISCO.
DIED FROM GRIEF

SAN FRANCISCO, April %. =
James X. Lynch, governor OF the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
Bank, died from heart failure, at his
home in this city this morning.
It is believed that grief over the
death of his son and strain OF the
Victory Loan campaign caused his
death.
The son was a member of the 363d
Infantry, and he was killed in the
Argonne battle. When the regiment
returned to San Francisco last week,
friends found Mr.. Lynch near col
lapse at his desk. Since then he has
failed rapidly. He had been worried
greatly over the tagging Of the Lib
