campaign, declaring that "our job is to
wait, both in our interest and in the inter

practically suspended throughour the

Much cotton has been beaten and
blown from open bolls by rains and
wind. and the resulting loss of lint
and damage in grade will be serious.
The harvesting OF corn, late forage
crops, sweet potatoes and peanuts has
been greatly hindered, and all of these
crops have been more or less damaged
by continued exposure in the open and

Pastures continue generally good, but

fled with controlling the meat packing in- dustry that supplies myriads of things be- sides meat to 1OO,0OO,OOO Americans and al- so to countless millions of other people, they would also control such food supplies as are entirely unrelated to the meat pack ing business. From every family they would exact tribute for its daily bread It may be, as the heads of these companies claim, that the things they control are cheaper for that control; that the power is benevolent one, graciously used. But think of the linn itless scope of that power! Is there any doubt about what they could do even now, if they chose to levy unreasonable toll? Each succeeding year for the past genera tion has found them more firmly entrench- ed, burrowing deeper into the life of the nation. The progress already made is but an indication of how far they can and will go if they are not curbed.
 A recent witness before the senate committee on agriculture which is studying the Kenyon-Kendrick bills regulating the packers took up a statement made by Thomas B. Wilson, chairman of the insti- ute of American meat packers. This wit ness, MT. Burke, member of the market committee of the American National Live stock association, answered three questions that had been asked previously asked by MT. Wilson.
 "Mr. Wilson," said MT. Burke, "ask- ed three uestions-what the packers need ? What is wrong with them? Where are they going? will answer for him. The packers need common sense enough to accept legis- lation. As to what is wrong with them, they think they are bigger than the govern ment. As to where they are going, they are going straight to disaster unless they have sense enough to change their policy" The report of the Federal Trade Com mission shows that they have not changed their policy and that it is the representa- tives of the people who have need of enough common sense to enact legislation

he makes a statement that is being contra dicted by facts of everyday occurrence. Ne mana coal has been and is being used with out special preparation by the Alaskan En- gineering commission and preparations are being made to mine it on largely extend ed scale.
 If he is honestly convinced that things were and are as he has described, and to doubt his honesty would be to impugn his christianity which The Citizen does not desire to do, we would like to suggest that he pay the interior another visit. If he should be so fortunate as to be able to pay a visit to the warehouse now owned by the Panama valley farmers, to the warm eel lars of the farmers themselves, to the barns and grain storages, we believe that even he would be convinced that the agri- cultural industry of the interior of Alaska is not only capable of being carried on ex- tensively but that it is already developed
 as highly as any section of the United States of the same size and with similar conditions of settlement and equal popula- tion.

NEW YORf, N. Y., Oct. i7.-fHA Despite the fact that two of the larg- est longshoremen's unions in this city voted several days ago to return to work, there has been very few workmen to return up to tonight The strike condition stil exists and the situation shows practically no i'm provement in regard to shipping.
 Most of the port is completely tied up. There is no movement of ships to foreign ports and many vessels are lying idly in their moorings waiting on cargoes. The shipping board has declared an embargo on all shipments thru this port destined to points across the Atlantic. Only local freight is allowed to be routed here. The en- bargo will be continued in effect un- til the strike is declared off and there is no indication of any such action in the immediate future.

NOT IMPARTIAL
(Exchange.)

The Johnson and Moses amendments to the covenant of the league of nations adopted by the committee on foreign rela- tions are obviously designed as an attack on the representation of Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand in the
 league assembly-the assembly being a diff
 ferent body from the council. The original concession especially to Canada and Aus
 tralia of this representation was forced by
 their claims to the status of nations within
 the empire, status which is as near inde- |pendence as dominion can attain without
 severing the imperial tie. The league, prob Iably, would not have been accepted at all
 by Premier Hughes of Australia if repre-
 sentation in the assembly had not been granted. It is, therefore, one of those com
 promises forced upon the creators of the
 league by the exigencies of the situation.
 In attacking it the opposition in our sen
 ate are seeking to undermine the very foun- dations of the whole structure. Of course,
 British, Canadian and Australian publicists
 can fairly retort that the Johnson and
 Moses amendments should unqualifiedly |apply to Cuba, Panama, Haiti, San Domin-
 go and Nicaragua as well as to the British |dominions, for nations like Cuba, Panama
 and the others, while entitled to represen-
 tation in the leagues assembly, are under
 the protection and control of the United States and are quite as much subject to die tation from Washington in matters of vot- ing on international issues as are Canada and Australia to dictation from London. To be perfectly impartial the Johnson and Moses amendments should be made speci- fically to apply to our various dependencies in the Caribbean which maintain only a
 nominal independence in foreign affairs.
