If you are going to again rely

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sentiment
among the leaders of farm organiza-
lions meeting here to consider the low
price crisis appears to revolve around
the following points:
Farmers should try so far as pos
sible to hold back their produce to
prevent further Cutting of the mar
ket.
TO enable them to do this the fed
eral reserve board and the govern
ment should do what they can to pro-
vide credit.
The demand for renewal of the
war finance corporation in behalf OF
the farmers is almost universal. This
government institution was used dur
ing the war to finance manufacturers
of war supplies who could not secure
adequate financing on proper terms
through privately owned banks.
There is also a demand that the
profits of the United States Grain cor
poration, amounting to about 30 mil
lion dollars, should be used as re-
volving fund for the extension OF credit
to farmers. A large conference OF
Washington, Oregon and Idaho farm
ers, meeting at Spokane in November,
declared that the situation was due
to a grain gambler conspiracy" and
strongly urged the use of these grain
corporation profits.
Federal agents are said to be seek
ing evidence on which to indict those
urging farmers to hold crops, under
the antitrust laws.
PERMANENT REMEDIES.
AS for permanent remedies for the
present. situation, about all that stands
out so FAY is the provision of ware
houses under government control to
enable tho farmers to store their pro-
duce and market it over the 12-month
period, and the provision OF system
of credits which will enable the farm
ers to obtain funds for current use on
these warehouse receipts.
This is the plan which has been ad-
vocated by the Nonpartisan league
farmers for over five years.
And it is interesting to note that
the farm organizations which have
forced to admit the wisdom Of the pro-
gram of this unrespectable organiza-
ton.
There is a. strong demand from all
parts of the country that the next con-
gress should do something to put the
federal land bank in operation again.
What the conservative leaders of
other organizations do not yet see,
however, is the obvious fact that they
can not get action on these two meas!
ures from the politicians in congress.
Independent warehousing and ware
house loans to the producer is a rev.
dictionary step, striking at the very
basis of market monopoly. Hence, the
politicians can not yield, although they
may make splendid gestures and fine
phrases in behalf of the. farmer. Only
in a state like North Dakota, where
the farmers have secured political pow
er, are effective means for eliminating
market evils possible.

THE VANDERBILT DEAL.

While some of the Washington cor
| respondents Of the big dailies are
sending out stories to the effect that
| the Vanderlip deal for a concession
| in northeastern Siberia is defeat for
the Soviet theory, their statements are
determined more by what they believe
their papers want than by the circ,11n-
stances of the case.
The concessions made to e group of
Los Angeles capitalists, headed by
Washington d. Vanderlip, involves one
| of the most sparsely settled districts
of the world, the territory of Siberia
west of the 166th meridian. It is
matter of fisheries, furs, oil wells, min
erals and forests, rather than Of peo-
.. pie.
Russia can not defend these unde-
veloped natural resources from the
Japanese, who claim sphere of in
| fluence over the whole Of eastern ST.
beria Hence, in granting something
which she really does not have to a
group of American capitalists she may
well be cleverly setting two of her
enemies, Japan and America, at each
others threats.
We, of course, will defend the rights
of our capitalists in Kamchatka on
the title bestowed by the Soviet gov
eminent The fact that the men be-
hind the scheme are Californians, with
strong anti-Japanese feelings, adds to
the international dynamite at present
in the situation.
Washington d. Vanderlip should not
be confused with Frank Vanderlip, the
New York banker, who has been in
the public eye for long time.
PLOT AGAINST PRIMARY LAWS.
The Republican landslide is being
interpreted by politicians as a sweep
| ing victory for reaction. Following
the landslide Republican papers and
politicians of Minnesota, Washington
and other states advocated abolition
of the direct primary laws of these
states and substitution of the old con-
| vention system.
But as more news comes in from
the election it is becoming apparent
that wherever the people had direct
issue presented to them they voted
| against any reversion to old-line pol
itics. In spite of the opposition of
Wall street interests soldiers bonus
laws were approved by the people by
overwhelming vote in New York, New
Jersey, South Dakota and Washington
Bills proposing to change the direct
primary laws were defeated in Ne
braska by three-to-one vote and in
Montana by a vote of nearly two to
one. Attempts to wipe out the presi'
Dental primary were also defea.ed in
| Montana. In the face of this direct
evidence of how the voters stand, the
politicians may be forced to revise
their idea that Harding's sweeping VIC
tory in a mandate to do as they please
with what the people have woa in long
years of struggle.

Some people living at comfortable

NEW STANDARD OIL MOVES.
The latest event in the world strug-
gle for oil between the Standard Oil
company and the Royal Dutch Shell
concern, owned chiefly by English cap
ital, is the purchase of oil fields in
Sicily by our Standard Oil company.
In consideration for turning over
the Sicilian oil-bearing lands to the
Standard Oil company the italian gov
eminent is said to have asked and
received large loan.
Scarcely less spectacular is the an
nouncement coming at the same time,
that our Standard Oil company has
purchased the leading conservative pa
per in Paris, LIE Matin. One can not
appreciate how this fits into the oil
struggle unless he remembers that

STEEL PRICES TO STAY.

Announcement by Judge Ebert Gary,
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States Steel corporation,
that prices of iron and steel would
not be increased in the near future,
does not seem to have produced any
ripple Of excitement in that large sec
ton of the press which boasts partic-
ularly of it's 100-per-cent Americanism.
When the prices of unmonopolized
products were tumbling in riotous
fashion they saw no humor in the
promise of the trust not to increase
prices.
Their Americanism was not disturb
ed in the slightest over the fact that
q few men could thus announce what
the prices for iron and steel would be
in the coming months.
The papers which were so disturbed
lest the farmers should alphabetically
conspire to set a price on their own
products, have no word of censure for
the steel trust.
If they know Of any reason why the
steel trust should not be Debated as
well as the raisers of livestock, wheat
and corn, they have failed to mention
it. But they evidently assume that
def1ation of the steel trust would be
harmful for the country.
Iron and steel prices were the first
to feel the effect Of the war. But evil

Spirits Are Aid
To Crooks in
A Lively Play
''The Hole in the Wall,' at
Punch and Judy, Proves
TO Be Melodrama, With
Abundant Action
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

"The Hole in the WALL" the new melo-
drama by Fred Jackson which was pre-
sented at the Punch and Judy Theater
last night. is generally lively and ex-
citing. 1t offers slight variant from
the usual form Of crook play by intro
ducing spiritualism as an essential in
gredient. Jackson is best known as
writer of farces and he employs
light touch to advantage in his ram
paging melodrama. Indeed there are
moments when he seems to be bur-
lesquing the various violent things
which are happening. He is not quite
consistent in this treatment and some
exceedingly implausible things which
might be carried off with little
banter are set down in deadly earnest
Of course, the play follows the usual
rule that all crooks are gold hearted
They become little less than the angels
as soon as they kidnap a child and
discover how cute and cuddly the
little rascal is. In fact, Limpy Jim re-
ports that the infant can shake pennies
out of a savings bank and that he is
born dip. Jean Oliver intended that the
stolen child should grow up to be
criminal, member of the underworld
This was the revenge which she planned
against his grandmother, Mrs. Ramsay,
who had sent her to Sing Sing on a
false charge of theft. 1t seemed some
what less direful than it sounded at
first, for the audience soon discovered
the crooks were far more likeable lot
than the members of high society upon
whom they preyed.
However, Jean was dissuaded from
her revenge by Gordon Grant, the re-
the police to say nothing about the
kidnapping, but to set it down as some
thing done by Jean in a moment of
quite eXcusable pique. He also ar
ranged to have all the crooks go free
Although a reporter, Grant had princely
powers at police Headquarters. AS soon
as the kidnapping was reported he was
called in and proceeded to give the in
spector orders as to every move the
force should make. Still, it is unfair to
assume that Fred Jackson has bodily
put Herbert swope into his play:
Grant is not a Photographic copy of
the model. Some of the other char
acters are allowed lines to speak.
Spiritualism is used in the play for
both comic and serious effect. AS in
Veilier's "Thirteenth Chair the me-
dunn who has always depended on
trickery finds that a real message
comes at moment Of streets. This par
tcular scene is we'll devised and proved
the most exciting OF the play. 1t was
we'll done by Miss Martha Hedman
William Sampson gave a delightful per-
formance as an old crook ,and the cast
is excellent throughout. Among the
players who deserve special mention
are Vernon Steele, Charles Halton,
John Halliday and Leighton Stark.

The site of the old Roosevelt homo
and adjoining property in East Twen-

right by the Woman's Roosevelt Memo

subscriptions, according to an an
nouncement made by Mrs A. Bar;o on
Hepburn at a special meeting of the
association yesterday at l East Fifty

More than two hundred foundation
members were present at the meeting,
over which Mrs. John Henry Hamm mond

Theodate Pope's plan for public me-
mortal, to be known as Roosevelt
House, which will be erected on the
site.
Plans were perfected for the cam
paign between April and Is to raise
S25000O in this city for that purpose.
and a number of teams were appointed.
The meeting was addressed by the
Rev. DR.. William 7. Manning, rector
of Trinity Church, who said: There
is not mother in America who would
not love to have her son grow up to be
man after the type of Roosevelt.
