Control

4 WASHINGTON Passage of legis-
lation which would release to the
railroads Of the country approximate
ly $500, 100000 due them from the
United States treasury as guaranteed
during the federal control and for
| the six months thereafter was recon-
mended to Congress by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, in its
annual report. s4
"The immediate payment to some

parts of the amounts which we can
now determine to be certainly due
them under the guarantee provis-
ions of the transportation act is vi
tai to their meeting operation ex-
penses fixed charges and other obli-
cations" the Commission declared.
Doubt as to the ability Of some roads
to properly serve the public as COM
mon carriers unless the payments are
made also was expressed.
# The Commission also requested
Congress to pass legislation which
would make unlawful any offer to pay
any employe of a railroad money to
Influence his action with respect
to car allotments.

itself Of the power to grant .repara-
tion to shippers are to be continued
The Commissioners contend that the
determination that there has been
an Overcharge or an unjust or dis
eliminating rate level.
Use of steel cars on passenger
trains would be required by law If
the Recommendation Of the Commits
sion are carried out. The Commission
asks that in the event of failure of
such law it should be made neces-
sary at least for roads to discontinue
placing wooden coaches before or be-
tween steel cars.
The Commission outlined the &C
tivities of the roads during and since
federal control, with the view of
showing increased efficiency in OPP

Rules governing the consolidation of
roads are in the process of creation,
the report states.
The report shows that loans from

Kahn explained and defended the
California anti-Japanese immigra-
ton and alien law. In doing SO he
commended the Japanese for their
progress and declared 1t an insult
to their intelligence, their pride and
their civilization to class them as in
ferior to the white man.
Many public officials in Japan,
as well as their political agitators
and demagogues, have tried to make
the world believe that the opposition
to the entrance to Japanese laborers
into the United States mainland is
based upon racial prejudice he said,
I'VE of the Pacific coast deny this
is the case. / contend that the OBJ
lection is purely an economic one.
Japan is doing to the laborers of
China and Korea what she claims
is racial hatred or prejudice when
done by us to Japanese laborers.9
No alien today is allowed to own
an inch of land in Japan, said Kahn.
Congress many years ago passed a
law fOrbidding aliens to own or ac-
quire land in the District of Column

of the states have adopted similar
laws. Japan contends that her law
is aimed at all foreigners whereas
the California law refers only to
those foreigners who are prohibited
by the laws of the United States from
securing the privileges of citizenship
in this country.
Kahn said there has been no
friendship for the United States in
Japan since 1904 when the then
President, Roosevelt, induced the
Japanese statesmen to conclude peace
with Russia without demanding in
demnity. This angered the Japanese
people.
Are the japanese trying to bring
about the world old conflict between
the White Races and the yellow and
Brown Races?" he asks. .5l

FARM RAISED BEAVER
BRING GOOD PRICES

PORT ARTHUR, Ont. Conserva-
ton Of wild life and the domestic
cultivation Of fur animals are being
given great impetus in Canada.
Rapid decline of the beaver has
resulted in establishment of many
beaver farms. One farm established.
a year ago by H. c. Coles, Of Milton,
Prince Edward Island, has sold the
first pelts for from $40 to $50 each.
In the early days the beaver was
found thruout the Dominion. With
the building Of the Canadian Ma
tional railway across the prairie
provinces the beaver was driven to
the wilds. Now the gun and the trap
have SO depleted the numbers that it
lis estimated the animal will soon fol-
low the buffalo into virtual oblivion
unless the beaver farming movement
continues to grow. 1t is now being
given every encouragement.
Trapping Of the beaver has always
been profitable pursuit because of
prices for the fur, which are expected
to remain high. s$
The beaver was early recognized as
typically emblematci of Canada
and has found a permanent memorial
on the national insignia.

The Farm and Farmer
Sy WILLIAM r. S.

you will get out your map OF South
America and note how far south the
Argentines lie, and consider that on
Tuesday, Nov. 8, in the year 1920, that
distant country unloaded a lot OF fresh
pork loins, shoulders and butts, on the
New York wharves, you will DECIDE
that America is indeed world
market.
But think of it, Mr.. Farmer. Is the
Corn Belt to compete with Argentina
in supplying the home market with
pork products? Is this first shipment
of fresh pork from below the equator
a forerunner of cargoes to follow?
First of all you will remember that
Argentine corn has largely supplied
eastern manufacturers of glucose syr-
ups and starch for more than two
years. That country has long been
an active competitor in our European
grain markets. 1t has underSold us on
corn and wheat, to the extent OF its
surplus, on both grains, for years.
More than this its acreages have been
constantly growing, and even now
after the drastic cut of more than 81
per bushei in cash corn at Chicago,
Argentine is still sending us corn and
underselling us here at home. Peoria,
Illinois, is in the very heart Of our
corn belt, but a few cars OF South
American corn filter into Peoria, from
time to time, regardless.
Farmers Ask Protection.
This partly explains why farmers
are demanding protective tariff on
their products. This demand was one
of the causes of the Republican land
slide this year; a contributory cause,
at least.
The leading American packers are
largely interested in South America
They have great packing plants there;
not merely to supply the South Ameri-
can demand, but they were able to
export lot of dressed meat to Europe
during the war.
