Calls 1t stepping stone.

such a document must however. be
examined both against the background
OF its creation. and In the large sweep
OF its spirit. From that point of view
we may call II n stepping stone from
the old. international methods to the new.
II It still holds Some or the dfstrusts
and hatreds of the war which Germany
has full we'll earned for herself. II Its
construction has been hindered by mem
cries of secret pacts and promises, 1t
with it the evident purpose 10 throw
on the old methods OF international in
trtgue and plotting.
tBut the present treaties are but the
starting point Of world reconstruction.
Now that the general principles have
been laid down It remains to execute
them. and by that I mean not so much
retributive action against nations which
have recently run amuck in the world
but rather the cleansing and healing
processes that shall really make good
our hopes and aspirations.
Undoubtedly there Is a great danger
in the world to-day. Many people have
thought that the mere signing of the
treaty with Germany marks the ending
OF the world peril. Public opinion seems
to have breathed a sigh OF relief and
lapsed back into apathy. Concentration
OF thought on world problems is weak,
ening now when 1t is most essential
and the forces of dislntegration and re.
action have. been given n freedom OF
action, far greater than when the world
was on its guard.

PRICE OF $20.45
bREAKSFORMER
LOCAL RECORDS
Hogs Leap to Dizzy Heights on
South Side Market; Com
mission Men Predict
Further Increase.

All South Side hog records wen,
by the boards Friday morning when
prices leaped to a dizzy height oil
$20,45. Another local record wa.
smashed when the bulk of the hogs
sold for $20.25 per hundredweight
Friday mornings top price was 10
cents higher than the figure quoted
Thursday and cents in excess OF
the record on the Omaha market,
which was established September
~, 1918.
Receipts are but little below the
average Of other years at this time
and stock raisers and commission
men ascribe the steady increase to
a general belief that shortage of
hogs exists in the country, and that
it will soon make itself felt on the
market. A still higher price is pre-
dicted by the men intimately &C.
quainted with the business.
Europe Depends on U. s.
Il Is pointed out that European
markets, which have but recently
been opened to American packers,
will depend solely upon the United
States for their hog supply. Very
few pork products have been sent
to Europe as yet, but with increased
shipping facilities d great deal Of
pork will be sent from this country
to European markets.
Removal of government restric-
tons on the buying, selling and ship
ping of hogs is also thought to be
somewhat responsible for the
mounting prices, though in what
way is not fully explained.
