REHABlLITATING GERMANY

The statements made by Secretary Lansing in his re-
cent address that we, that is the Allied powers with the
United States, must feed Germany and permit her to sell
her goods abroad was inspired by no feeling of maudnn
sentiment There has been a good deal of this and es-
pecially just after the signing of the armistice efforts were
made in this country to arouse sympathy for the Germans
and thereby obtain for them better terms than would
seemed likely to contribute to this end. Among other
things the women of Germany joined in an appeal to the
women Of America for food, representing that Germany
was in the throes of starvation.
Great hardship has undoubtedly existed, and does
exist in Germany. Many people are destitute and the con-
diuons are growing worse. but the original statements un-
Idoubtedly exaggerated the facts, for it has since become
known that there was more food in Germany than there
was generally supposed, and that what was especially
needed was a better method of distribution.
The fact remains that Germany needs food and must
have it if her people are to live. Unless food is forthcom-
ing, and soon. starvation in many portions of Germany
will be an actual and general fact, and in the struggle
for bread large sections of the population may be expected
to throw off all the restraints which ordinarily character
lie human society. and to descend to the level of the beasts
or Belshevik. which is the same thing.
Mr.. Lansing does not propose the feeding of Germans
as a mere act of kindness to them. He believes, and with
good cause, that unless the menace of starvation is remov-
ed the social breakdown which has been SO disastrous in
1usSd Will extend 1tSelf to the German empire. and will
constitute a menace to all the surrounding nations. Ger
many must be fed at her own expense as far as possible.
but even regardless of compensation, civilization cannot
witness the destruction Of human life by starvation: lives
which it can preserve. sN
In the matter Of the sale of her products abroad. the
needs of Germany and of the world are obvious. The Ger
man people are presently to be required to pay to- other
peoples many billions of dollars representing a part. at
least, of the cost Of war to other nations. Germany has
no money with which to meet these obligations. She can
not obtain money. except by the sale Of goods and it is
evident therefore that she must be permitted to sell goods
II she IL to pay the sums demanded OF her.
In just what manner this permission to trade is to be
granted is not quite clear. German trade must for some
time be subjected to the regulations imposed by other ma
lions. In order TO meet the need which exists for the sale
OF her goods, the industry OF other nations must not be
Idemoraiized. and one OF the most delicate tasks q, the
peace conferences will be to devise means whereby Ger
many canspay her debts In money or in goods without
damage 70 those to whom payment is made.

According TO Mr.. Monosnith the oat
crop is very good altho the results Tary

county. The average yield for oats in
the south part of the county is forty
three bushels TO the acre while the
average weight Is from IS to 90 pounds
to the bushel. IN some places farmers
have reported 10 have threshed as
high as sixty bushels and other farm
ers have threshed only thirty Ave
which is the lowest yield Mr.. Mono
smith has seen yet. The north part Of
the county yielded from thirty TO forty
bushels.
The wheat Is the poorest crop in
Webster county this year. Due 70 the
hot weather and not winds and the
scab the wheat viii only yield from
four to twenty bushels an acre. The
wheat crop IS only one-th.rd what II
was two years ago. Early in the
summer the scab entered in nearly
every field IN the county and the cam
