Standardized Flour

OUR government grain corporation
asks public support for a method that
really reduces the margin between
producer and consumer. Few will
question that our marketing costs
have mounted, because we have got
ten away from bulk goods and have
been educated" by advertisers to
special brands and expensive pack
ages. The consumer pays for the
advertising and the other frills. Why
mot standardize our necessaries and
cut out this expensive nonsense?
The grain corporation offers what
1t says Is good flour much cheaper
than the producers of "brands' can
sell 1T for; that is, it will retail for
about IS cents per one-sinteenth of a
barrel, as opposed to the 80 cents OIL

labels and big advertising bills. This

The milling combine may be able
to put crimp into this fiour-market-
ing reform. Time will tell. But it is
certainly in the right direction. If
the government would guarantee the
quality of the bulk goods in the i'm
portant lines and ii the people could
unaeam their Education on brands,
marketing costs could be considerably
reduced.

REVOLUTIONS

The term revolution in its Droper
sense implies marked change in poli-
tics or social conditions and not mere
ly domestic violence, as SO many ~
pear to think. About the only certain
thing in the world is that all things
are constantly changing. When social
change comes rapidly, either with or
without force, we call 1t revolution or
'overtuming". Also in looking back
on period in which marked
change has come slowly, like the
change from feudalism to Industrial,
ism, historians speak Of it as reyoln-
ton.
Again the press writer's almost al
ways try to give the impression that
revolution is something starting from
the bottom by wicked workng-class
'agitators". Whereas history shows

A great hullabaloo was raised in
North Dakota because the state libra
rian bought a book by Ellen Key, the
well-known Swedish authoress, on
marriage relations. The librarian, of
course. intended it only for circula-
ton among adults, and it is found in
most public libraries, but the controll-
ed press OF the state gives long quota

parts just to show how bad it was.

Denckinc and KoIchak Forsakcn

Decision of the allied council Il
abandon aid to Denekine and Kol-
chalk is announced in the press. Whe.
Their the alright blockade will also
be lifted is not stated. There is little
probability that that ii VIII, for the
decision to stop direct aid is not
prompted by desire to make peace
with Russia but by the belief that aid
to the factions fighting in the field is
like sticking money into the ground,
and none of the allies can afford this.
Shortly after the petering out of
the attack of Petrograd came the
smashing defeat of kolchak, and now
Denekine is retreating with seven
league boots. He is also attacked in
the rear by revolving peasants in the
Caucasus. And England alone has
spent 100000, 900 to date on Kol
chalk, DenelSine and the north Rus
sian fiiasco.
Perhaps the widespread protest by
American business men against re-
fusal to allow them to send goods to
Russia for cash, will have an impor-
tant effect on the blockade. The lack
OF balance between city and agricul-
tural production caused by the block
ade is probably the worst problem
Soviet Russia has to face Many
allied statesmen and writers expected
this to break Soviet rule long ago.

How Ireland Fares

In answer to a question from the
floor of parliament, Lloyd George de-
clares that the present program of
the cabinet for ireland is to main
cain law and order there. England
appears to have good deal of the
attitude of Pharoah toward the Irish.
and like Pharaoh is unwilling '!to let
the people go" because of the profit
which can be made out of them.
Last December two out of every
three Irish voters voted for the Irish
republic. Four out of every five voted
for self-determination. Only one yot-
er IN every five voted for English rule.
Consequently the Lloyd George policy
OF military occupation and rule is lust
the opposite of law and order i'm
democracy. The following statictics
