The successors of Washington, who had
known him personally and had read his
Farewell Address with approval when It
was made public on September 10. 1896,
were not afraid to meet the new Issues
which arose. For example. when Canning
sought our cooperation TO prevent the
Holy Alliance from carrying out Its pur.
pose to suppress free government In South
America. President Monroe asked the
advice of both Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison. who had preceded him In the presl.
dency. jefferson. whose dictum against
"~entangling alliances" Is being quoted
nowadays ad nauseam, heartily Endorsed the
plan to make an agreement with England.
II would effect n division In the body OF
European powers and 1t would prevent
instead OF provoking wars. with Great
Britain withdrawn from their scale and
shifted into that of our two continents he
wrote 10 Monroe, "all Europe combined
would not undertake such n war that Is, a
war against the spanish-American repub-
lics,, for how could they propose to get at
either enemy without superior fieets?" And
Madison agreed with Jefferson In indorslng
the British proposal for Joint action for the
protection OF Spanish America, but he sug.
gested that they should also agree to
oppose the invasion of Spain and any inter.
ference with the efforts OF the Greeks to
free themselves from Turkey. Thus within
less than thirty years after Washington
spoke Jefferson favored "A league of nations
for the protection OF the American cont.
nents and Madison favored such a eague
for the protection OF free governments
everywhere! Monroe agreed with these
advisers.
And yet we are hearing the sayings of
these men quoted now in Justification for
opposition to an American program for an
international lea que to protect the peace of
the world.
jefferson. Madison and Monroe were
ready to make an alliance In response to a
proposition from Europe. The proposition
for the league OF nations originated In
America. We have asked Europe to Join
with us In a compact intended TO combine
the moral force Of the civilized world
| against war and, II need he, the military
power OF the nations TO compel :. selfish and

Farming conditions throughout the
state continue to be exceptionally
favorable as result of the general
rains that prevailed during the latter
part of April. The rainfall at this
time was heaviest in the northern
and eastern parts of the state, being
more than two inches in some dis.
tricts. 1t was somewhat lighter on the
western slope, but was generally am.
pie for the needs of the farmers.
Winter wheat is making rapid pro-
gress and indications still point to q
yield of fully 100000 bushels, more
winter wheat than the state has ever
produced of winter and spring wheat
combined. Farm work was materially
delayed by the rains, but is now ad-
vancing rapidly. Spring wheat is in
excellent condition and the greater
pcrt of the sugar beet crop has been
planted. Reports received by the
state Cooperative crop reporting SER
vice indicate that there will be a
decrease in the acreage of pinto
beans. For most other crops an in
creased acreage is indicated, with the
largest increases in wheat and sugar
beets.
