8. America Has Set the Pace in a
World Red Cross Movement
The League of Red Cross Societies
of all nations has been formed through
the inspiration of the Red Cross
achievement of the United States.
This League has no executive power
whatever over the Red Cross of any
nation, but will extend into every ma
ton the benefits of national, volun-
tary Red Cross society on the Ameri-
can model, to deal with problems OF
health and child welfare. and to cope
with the relief problems that are so
pressing over SO great part of the
earth's surface. Through these organ
iZatious many nations will meet their
own problems which would otherwise
be appealing to America for relief and
assistance. The United States, whose
people have shown the world how thus
to rise out of despair into hope, must
keep the Red Cross banner floating
high. The success or failure of this
great world movement of practical
idealism will depend largely upon the
manner in which the American people /

MANDATORY FOR IRELAND.

The latest and also the most startl-
ing suggestion for the solution Of the
Irish problem is that Ireland shall be
given her independence under an
American protectorate or "manda-
tory" It has not reached the stage
of formal proposal, bat is said to
have been mentioned in British state
couasels. and to have the advocacy OF
at least one important British states
man.
This statesman, like many other
EngIishmen, is said to feel that
Britain can never expect any positive
benefit from her connection with Ire
land. There might have been Sc
rious movement in England long age
to turn ireland loose if it had not
been for the natural fear that an in
dependent Ireland would be gobbleG
up by Germany or some other hos.
tile power, thus menacing Britain's
back door If the United States as
sumed the responsibility for Ireland
that fear would be removed.
At the same time, the proposal looks
very much as if it were meant for {
practical joke on the United States
Americans for many years have beer
so insistent in their championship Of
Ireland and their demands thai
Great Britain do something toward
the permanent solution Of the Irisf
question, that Englishmen nigh
now take a sardonic satisfaction i.
turning the intractabie island over tt
america and saying: 'There-tacklt
the blamed problem yourself, and SET

; Many Americans. including neari.
all Irish Americans, would doubles
welcome such an opportunity. Bu
the majority would probably hga
shy Of It. Having seen the muddl

THIRTY HOURS A WEEK.

The miners will probably answe,
that nobody ought to work more thar

proper system that amount Of work
would provide enough goods for ev-

body to buy the necessary goods. Ba'

NhS Ssuth Sic:.!d Increase its Grain
Production.

manufacturers Recc-d. Baitimore)
The grain Production of The South
last year was almost exactly zoo
01t. 600 bushels less than the yield Of
the preceding year. and much less
than in number Of other years,
Notwithstanding the enormous world
demand for foodstuffs. Much Of this
decrease was due TO unfavoroble
weather. but. nevertheless. the fact
:;tarns us IN the face that at q critical
tii:>e N the wor d's food suppl the

9s.si:e:s compared wiyth the preced-
.n.; year It. is doubly important.
therefore, that the South should strive
to more than maze UP that shortage
by larger grain yield this year.
We do not at all agree With Con-
g. s5.ssn Heain's prediction in this
issue that a larger grain yield might
cause collapse in price. On the
contrary. we see no reasonable hope
Of any serious decline in the price
of corn, and we believe that Mr..
Hoover IS right IN saying that if all
government restrictions were taken
of. the wheat market the price would
advance beyond the present govern
nlenl price. A wide open. wheat
market would cause a temporary
break until the worlds trade could
adjust itself, and spectators would
buy heavily. knowing that they could
sell at high figures just as soon as we
can begin to feed the hundreds OF
millions Of half-starv:ng people in
Europe.
We do not agree with all the rea-
aoas advanced - Mr.. Helm for de-
creasng the South's cotton acreage,
but we do most emphatically urge
that grain production be made the
prime factor in Southern agriculture
and a reduced acreage be given TO
cotton.
We would urge this IS essential to
the best prosperity of the South, even
if we knew cotton would command
double it's present price.
