The moral is that some kind of world
| association, IL tho present league plan fails,
will have to BIO formed to prevent future
wars. else the burden OF preparedness will
ovcrwhelm the whole Of civilization-for, In
tho absence OF agreement to reduce national
armament, tho science OF destructive war
fnre will continue 10 be developed until no
nation, however powerful in Defense will DO
secure overnight.
Tho whole science Of destructive warfare
has developed rs result OF tho aggressive
spirit in human nature and tho desire to
secure unequal advantage in the indulgence
of that spirit. The weak have been forced
10 exercise their ingenuity to lessen their
disadvantage in combat with the. strong
The strong have been driven to the same
necessity to overcome aggressors stronger
than themselves. Thus the competition for
advantage has made steady strides in the de-
velopment of new devices for destroying
human life. 1t all means that nations, no
more than individuals, are willing to meet
on equal forms in n fair fight. Since tho
duel between David and Goliath the nations
have gone on competing for the advantage.
and as the centuries have passed, science
has come TO their aid and made war in
creasnGly destructive.

Probing Price Drops

I HE American Farm Bureau Federation
announces that it will ask for n con-
gressional investigation of recent price drops
on the commodity exchanges where farm
products are dealt in, as soon as Congress
reconvenes. Such an investigation inteli-
gently and searchingly conducted would
probably result in disclosing valuable infor-
NATION as a guide to legislation which might
be undertaken to eliminate practices sus-
pectcd OF unduly influencing pricc declines.
Farmers arc rooted and grounded In tho
belief that the trade methods in vogue in
these exchanges have initiated to bring in
creased depression to the markets ut times
when their offerings are freest, car, ing price
declines, not justified on the legitimate basis
of supply and demand. If this belief bo cor
rectly founded, it is the duty of Congress to
enact Legislation which will put an end to
these practices; If, on the other hand the
facts developed by tho investigation do not
support this contention, the sooner the
minds of the farmers are disabused OF the
false impression the easier it will be to Sc
cure their support OF intelligent legislation
to foster better system of marketing their
products.
In the process OF readjustng the coun-
trys industries TO poace-time conditions, the
farmers have been the first and scverest suf-
iorers from price declines. The decline i'll
'lc prices or cereals, 1--we STOCK ana cotton
has been so severe almost to bring the
whole farming industry to the verge OF
bankruptcy. While restricted credits in this
country have operated to accentuate these
declines, TO the extent Of their having forced
premature marketing. it has not been the
sole contributing cause. Rather. restricted
foreign credits, with increased world agri-
cultural production, consequent upon q ces-
sation OF war, have both lcsscncd the demand
for the products of our farms and the abi-
ity TO trade in our markets. Ii the pur-
chasing power of those nations which are
the principal buyers in our markets were
anything like normal, present price declines
would not have been much i'll evidence.
The declines would have hecn much less
rapid, for on most OF the items they are
entirely unjustified by production figures
Yet. in the face of these enormous de-
c!ines, American consumers are not getting
me benefits to which they are entitled. If
tte proposed investigation he carried far
enough to ascertain just why this condi-
zion exists, the way will be opened up for
femedying the situation. To the extent that
speculation has controlled the declines
against the farmer, OIL the one hand, and
prottecring has continued the burden OF
high prices on the consumer, OH the other
hand, both may be made amcnable to wise
legislation designed TO curb them. and to
restore the free operation OF the law of sup
ply and demand in all forms OF trading
