A NEW WHEAT VARIETY

Necessity is the mother OF invention.
The war brought new conditions and
stimulated enterprise in many different
lines. The farmers Of Kansas have just
awakened TO the fact that the war
brought to them new wealth and enrich

them. Kansas has been one Of the great

The news from Germany that an cn"r-
nous emigration from that county is cX-
pected as soon as the peace basis Is ca-
tablished is extraordinarily signiiiccnt.
The primary significance has to do
with the impluationS conveyed concern
ing conditions in Germany and the state
Of the German mind.
The report states that there Is an OK
pcctation of surplus of @O.OOO.OO0 pc"-
pic in Germany who will not be able TO
support themselves on account of the
economic condition in. which the peace
treaty will leave the country. 1t is cx-
pccted that u large part of this number
will leave the country, and apparently
there Is no intention on the part or the
government to try to hold them. 1t -
intended, however. TO control and guide
this emigration in such way as 10 IN
terfere as little as possible with prodnc'
ton in Germany. and at the same time
bring the maximum return of benefit 10
the Fathcrland from the activities Of
these cmigrants in foreign lands.
That the German attitude toward en-
igration has not changed since pre-war
days is shown by the fact that efforts
are TO DC Ildut " httP bH'iIl
strictly loyal to tho homo land. and TO
permit only those individuals to leave
who will work first for the Fathcrland
and secondly for themselves. Their" is
not the slightest recognition Of any OBJ
legation on the part Of the emigrants to
consider the interests and welfare OF tho
countries in which they take UP resi-
dence. Their Fatherland expects them
to remain unQualifedly alien at heart.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL BUY

Great Britain. within few weeks
will renove all restrictions which she
has hitherto imposed upon importations
Of goods. This step is undoubtedly taken
for the purpose Of facilitating the pur-
chase Of raw materials by British man
ufacturers. During the entire war Pc
Rod and since the signing OF the armis-
t.ce Great Britain has maintained very
close regulation OF all purchases from
abroad. This was made necessary. first
by lack Of shipping. and. second IN order
TO control the accommodations OF foreign
debt. The English people. in effect were
told that they could not buy and increase
Great Britain's debt to other countries
The removal Of the embargo is an en-
couraring evidence Of more normal con-
ditions.

nonorNG ALL RISKS.

William L. Chencr. IN an article in The
Survey. on the Sims bill. which en-
bodies the Plumb railway plan. says
that il is "a practical Application OF
guild soCialism"-that tits based on the
social philosophy of Professor Cole. OF
Cambridge. England.
Whether tho Plumb plan Is derived
from Professor Cole, is of course, OF no
CONSEQUENCE. Nor Is 1t OF practical con-
Germ whether ii contains guild socialism
or not This issue has academic III
tcrest only for few theorists who like
to dclve into the past and to show that
new things arc old things.
But WHY not be accurate and honest
when invading tho academic field" Tho
Plumb plan is not guild socialism ard
bears no essential resemblance TO the
system which gave results so good IN
the Middle Ages What was guild so
cialism? 4 species OF cooperative pro-
duct ion under which the members or
craft became partners in ii and carried
on their work first as apprentices and
thC, as full members. Tho essence Of
the system was that the members took
the risks Of the trade. If they made
goods that sold we'll they had gnodly
sums To divide: If their product Was n"'
acceptable they earned little and per
haps nothing.
Now what is the essence of III" Plumb
plan? That the railroad workers are
not to take tho risks of tho railroad
business. They ar" To have the power
to fix their own wages and ar" To hH IN

Nevertheless I have hopes that inc

II will assert itself vigorously. Another
circumstance Of great Importance which
tands TO aeEraSate our international

This applies even TO the Supreme
