Europe MUST Be
ABLE TO PRODUCE
Hoover Says Western World
Is Not Capable Of Meet
ing Food Deficiency.

LONDON, Sept 2O.-Unless European
pred Ctivity can be rapidly increased,
there can be nothing but political. moral
and economic chaos finally interpreting
itself in loss OF life on a scale hitherto
undreamed OF, says Herbert Hoover,
head Of the i~nterallied relief commission
in an analysis OF the economic situation
in Europe just published in the British
National Food Journal.
1.-THE entire surplus productivity Of
the Western hemisphere Is totally In
capable of meeting the present deficien-
cy in European production Il II is long
continued" the analysis asserts. Nor
could credits be modified for this pur-
pose for more than a short period be-
cause all credits must necessarily be
simply an advance against the return
of commodities in exchange and credits
viii break down the instant that the
seturn Of commodities becomes Inn
probable. Further. II such credits be
obtained for more than temporary pur-
poses II would result In economic slav-
cry OF Europe to the Western hemi-
sphere and the ultimate end would be
war again.
Mr., Hoover points out this solution Of
the European economic problem: "A
vigorous realization OF the actual situa-
~ ~ NeNh 1NAAtA VI AAhANlN aAAh a
resolute craftsmanship based on such
a reallEatioR-the populations OF Europe
must be brought to a realization that
\ productivity must be instantly in
creased
In the present-day European ferment,
Mr.. Hoover says, every economic pat
ent medicine has flocked under the
banner Of socialism or communism
which has claimed to speak for all the
downtrodden-to alone bespeak human
sympathy"
Experimentation in varying forms Of
these political leanings-socialism and
commandments so far, in every case,
resulted in reduced production, the
food controller says.
Eur0pe's Threatened coal famine, the
analysis says, is due lin the largest de-
gree to the human factor Of the limitR-
ton Of effort"
Western assistance in the form OF its
devotion Of surplus productivity to Eu-
ropes needs, lis a service that the
Western hemisphere must approach
with a high sense Of human duty and
sympathy" concludes MIR. Hoover. 1.-THE
economic burden on the West should not
last more than a ear and can be car
ried and viii be repaid. To effect these
results, the Of the Western
hemisphere and of Europe must be
modified

ENGLAND T0UlE

Home Grown Food Products
Are TO Be Rare This
Year in Island.

YORK, England, Sept. 19.-Abun-
dance OF imported meat. bacon. cheese,
margarine. rice, tea, sugar n app
pies, Is assured the people Of Great
Britain the coming winter by the au-
thorities, but home -grown products,
such as milk, meat, butter and dried
fruits, It is said. win be scarce and
Meanwhile the government food con-
troll VIII continue in order that rich
and poor alike may share in the avail
able supplies Nothing like the hard
ships endured during the last tive years
OF the war is anticipated because the
government supervision and distribu-
Ton viii not be so rigorous as when
Halg's army had its back to the wall"
The expense Of feeding and fatten-
ing cattle Is the factor that will make
home grown meat scarce. Hay and
oat crops are abnormaIly short, and
root Yields In some parts Of the coun-
Try are almost a failure. Cattle cake"
which will have to be used more free
ly, is more expensive than last year.
The same considerations apply to
milk. The price for August was fixed
at 81 cents per gallon to the dairy
man, and for September at rs cents.
asst winter it was 20 cents a quart,
Sut hiShSt PIloSS dEe eApeCISQ the
coming winter.
There is plenty Of tea in the coun-
try, but transportation systems are so
out OF joint, dealers say, 1t will cost
more to handle and distribute 1t. Ba-
con prices are rising in America, which
makes the British price. Port and
dock delays, due to strikes and the
general apathy of labor, contribute to
higher prices.
Nobody is worrying about sugar ex-
cept as to price. The sugar commits
sion has been very active in the gen
eral market, and has obtained enough
tor last the country until the end of
the year at prices which, It Is declared,
are q little below the average of Eu.
rope, but, of course, much higher than
the American price. If the commission
had to go into the market now 1t would
be compelled to pay as much for sugar
as the present retail price, n as II
will likely have to do that early next
year the consumer expects to pay more.
Apples are high and scaxce. the con-
trolled price being IL cents a pound.
1t is expected, however, that the fine
crop here in England will serve to re-
dnce this price materially before the
winter comes.
Bakers and the government expect
an increase In the cost of bread. There
are abundant wheat supplies In Aus.
tralia and the Argentine, but the
scarcity of shipping makes immediate
delivery impossible. So England must
| depend on the United States and Can
ada which, the authorities. say mean
costlier loaves.

JAPS DON'T OWN OIL
MEXICANS DECLARE

MEXICO CITY, Sept, 2O.-The de-

MES emphatically that Japanese inter-
ests have acquired any petroleum hold
ings in Mexico, but says parties OF
Japanese biologists have visited the
republic recently on O tour of explora-
ton and have located oil deposits on
the Pacific coast.
The departmental denial came as the
result Of stories emanating from the
United states that Japanese capitalists
were negotiating for the transfer OF
large petroleum holdings In the Tampico
district.
FL Monitor recently interviewed a
Japanese, r. Il. Douarl, who was sent
TO be a member Of the Oriental exploral
ton party. He asserted that the Pa
cific coast had been thoroughly covered
in the search for oil and that large de-
posits of the latter had been found.
He also asserted that Japan needs Mex
lean oil for commercial purposes and
will attempt to acquire that product,
but II has no intention OF buying leases,
developed or undeveloped, on the Az
lantic coast.

Canadian professional societies are said
TO be prepared to give special prefer
ence to men of this class. Qualified ac-
countants, chemical and forestry Inter-
ests, for instance, have many positions
which It Is hoped may be filled through

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

An analysis Of the proposed league OF
nations develops more and more oojec-
tions and indicates that most serious OPP
position will be aroused in this country.
Senator Borah Of Idaho, member Of the
foreign relations committee. has declined
an invitation to the White House to meet
the president and to discuss the cove
nant. Many other influential men at
WASHINGTON are inclined to doubt the
wisdom Of the commitments which
membership in the league would impose
upon the United States Our traditional
policy has been one of aloofness from
old world Quarrels and controversies.
In spite Of ourselves We were drawn into
the European war. but to what extent
we wish to coqtlnue to be guarantor OF
peace in Europe, TO say nothing Of the
wild lands Of Asia and Africa and the
island Of the sea, is very serious Ques-
ton. Americans generally will not view
with complaccncy relations or obliga-
tons that make us q constant mcddlcr
in the politics of the old world
On the other hand there are some
broader and more serious objections 10
the league of nations than are included
; in purely an American viewpoint. Az
.. pointed out by Hon Waldo Morse in
The Intelligenccr. the league is practi-
cally an international trust formulated
TO run the world. Seven votes OF the
nine in the body Of delegates replace the
rights oc nations to act separately in the
affairs OF state and in some cases four
ont Of seven will control. That any sin
gle body Of men have the wisdom to use
such enormous power constantly and
wisely may be questioned. and We may
we'll doubt also whether any great or
! independent government will checrfully
surrender It's policy and its interests 10
the kec ping Of such body.
| France. in particular, apparently does
not recognize in the proposed covenant
the protection against danger from the
! east which she constantly needs and
must, therefore. in her judgment, seek
, for protection In the maintenance Of hcI
own army and in alliances that will in
! sure her powerful friends. As moral
; force making for peace throughout the
, world The, Intclligencer believes the
league Of nations has place; as a CO.
ercivc power it is doubtful If it will be
either successful orIercctive.
