The Declared National Policy

In 1916 the Sixty-fourth Congress. in
enacting the naval appropriation bill,
included the following provision, which
is now the law of the land:
at is hereby declared to be the policy
Of the United States to adjust and settle
its international disputes through media
ton arbitration, to the end that war
may be honorably avoided. 1t looks with
apprehension and disfavor upon a gem
cral increase of armament throughout
the world, but it realizes that no single
nation can disarm, and that without a
common agreement upon the subject
every considerable power must maintain
relative standing in military strength
On view of the premises, the Presi-
dent is authorized and requested to in
vite at an appropriate time not later
than the close Of the war in Europe. all
the great governments Of the world to
send representatives to conference
which shall be charged with the duty of
formulating a plan for a court of arb-
tration or other tribunal, to which dis
puted questions between nations shall be
referred for adjudication and peaceful
settlement and TO consider the question
Of disarmament and submit their recon-
mendation TO their respective govern
ments for approval The President is
hereby authorized to appoint nine citi-
zens of the United States who. in his
judgment, shall be qualified for the
mission by eminencc in the law and by
devotion TO the cause of peace, to be
representatives Of the United States in
such q conference"
1t will be noted this law assumes the
separation Of the questions incident to
making a particular peace and the
questions incident to laying the founda-
tions Of permanent peace The two
tasks are not comminged. If We had
not become>a belligerent, one can imagine
the indignant protests from Washington
against excluding this country from q
conference dealing with world problems
because not belligerent But a shut
ting out of neutrals has occurred at
Paris.
The President was authorized and re-
quested to invite attendance at a con-
ference whose calling was practically
ordered. American delegates were to be
appointed (by inference the President
was to name others than himself) and
money was appropriated to effect the
provisions of the paragraph.
Inc national policy was thus declared
ana procedure outlined, for the bill
was not vetoed. Yet action has not been
IN accord Herewith. The wish Of the ma
ton, as formally expressed, has bccn
ignored. The President has failed to
call the conference. Per contro ba bas
been instrumental in delaying neace
first, by converting into a general con,
ference gathering Of successful bell;g-
crents in session for a special purnose
and, second, by pressing the idea that
before the peace proper is drawn I'd an
agreement shall be reached concernino
the vastly complicated details Of an in
tcrnational constitution. This DELAY. as
costly as inevitable if the debate was en-.
tered upon, has prevented n return 10
normal conditions, and IL not soon
brought " an end may entail the gravcst
consequences.

horze, as Major Derby calls it, is
complete Inversion Of the natura! order.

Community Drier Will Help :.

Cities or villages confronted with
the question of saving surplus perish

dens this season may well consider
the construction and operation of a
community drier, according to q. Z.
Kirkpatrick Of the Colorado Agricul-
tural college, who says: @ -
practically all vegetables, as well
as fruits, may be dried or dehydrated
and kept in paper bags or paper car
tons until needed for use this fallsor.

"The cost Of satisfactory fan
equipped drier with a capacity Of from
500 to 1000 pounds of raw produce.
per day will be between $3.50 and
$4OO. The best general purpose
plant is Of the combined tunnel and
cabinet type, fitted with an exhaust
fan at one end and q box heating stove
at the other. Pipe from the stove
should run below the set Of trays or
tills throughout the full length Of the
drier. p
Before undertaking the building Of
a plant. each community should make
a thorough survey Of the amount OF
perishable crops available, decide on
a satisfactory building for housing the
outfit and formulate business plan
Of operation throughout the season"

Cheap Coffee Is Made From
Dandelion Root, According
Ill., to a Prominent Botanist

Much of the Surprising" cheap
brand Of coffee is made from dande-
lion root, according to Prof. William
Trelease Of the department Of botany
at the University of Illinois. Dande.
lions he points out, belong to the
chicory family, and the root Is used to
adulterate coffee much as chicory. It
is also used to adulterate chicory. Pro-
fessor Trelease believes that the dam
delion, which generally is considered
a pest to good lawns, is a vfry useful
plant, which has strayed from its
proper place In the garden where it
is cultivated. - + j. (: >. Gs$s.. d \.
Besides being used for. cheap grades
Of coffee, the plant yields milky juice
which, In the form Of extract, 10 used
as a medicine. The blanched leaves
Of the dandelion are often used for
salads. They are also used as greens.
In America there are two varieties
Of the dandelion, both Of which are
weeds. One kind has an Qlive-colored
fruit pod, while the other has a red
fruit pod. The latter is not 80 good
for green's, since the leaves are stringy
and cook down to almost nothing.
There are 81 varieties altogether,
most Of which are native to Europe.
In French gardens where they are
cultivated they are delicious, espe-
cially for salads. The leaves are used
to feed silkworms when mulberry
