crs asserted, the price cuts ran as high
as sc per cent. On the whole. how
made by jobbcrs bring the goods they
are Offering about on the price level
quoted by manufacturers few months
ago.
The trade was exceedingly quiet dur
ing the week. Retailers who were in
the market bought in small quantities
and "shonped" among the jobbers look
ing for bargains in special lines. The
.ergc producers did not quote prices
and in most cases refused to accept
oloors. While some of the mill owners
assert that they will make up goods
for stock, others say that when their
they will allow the machinery to stand
idle rather than continue the produc-
tion of goods without definite orders
for them.
Raw silks showed a decline Of az
much as So a pound, or from to 10
per cent, compared to the previous
week, but even these slashes in prices
Co: ed to stimulate buying on the part
Of goods manufacturers. Mills appear
to be supplied in general with enough
raw material to run them another two
or three months. Others, more for
t,lnate, admit that their raw stock on
hand will last them we'll into the fall.
This silk, it is asserted, was bought
Sl5 pound. According to rough esti-
mates, little silk costing more than
ST. pound has been made up into
goods now being delivered to retailers
and garment manufacturers.
The belief is spreading that vast
quantities of raw silks, possibly as
much as $500,0O0,000 worth, are stored
in this country. Investigations now in
progress have not revealed the quanti-
ties being held by importers, dealers,
yarn makers or goods producers. Banks
ard insurance companies look upon raw
silk holdings as dangerous risks and
are refusing to lend money on them
or insure them at market quotations.
Woolens
The slowing up of forward business
in cottons and silks has spread to the
woolen division of the textile industry
The selling season for goods to go into
garments for next fall is fairly under
way, but is devoid Of the mad scramble
for merchandise that developed a year
ago. Buyers say that larger allotments
are being made by selling agents, that
goods can be obtained in quarters this
year where little or nothing was
available last year and that sellers
appear to be anxious to book all the
business they can for delivery not
later than July I.
Some of the largest manufacturers
of mems clothing assert that their SUP
plies for next winter already have been
ordered. Many of them say that they
are carrying over fairly large quanti-
ties of cloth from the last winter sea-
son. This is also true of the women's
garment field.
In some quarters of the cloth trade
there is growing tendency among
buyers to seek the cheaper woolens'
heretofore in slight demand This
movement, according to the best in
formed element in the trade, is small.

anxiously watched. Supplies of the lower

tremendous and yet unadjusted expense of the

Article x and the Nation.

The power of the League of Nations under
Article still vexes the American people. As
it has become clearer the trend of opinion has
been away from it. Mr. Wilson holds to it,
however, and the moral obligation it imposes
on this or any other consentng nation to take
up arms to support decision of the council.
England, France and Italy nave all changed
their attitude, but the president remains unal-
terab1e 1t is interesting, also, to recall that Mr..
Bryans recently expressed views were not
lately arrived at. One year ago today The Bee
published statement Mr.. Bryan had made in
Washington, from which we quote:
The language of the constitution (of the
league), while not definite, would seem to
indicate that no nation is required to furnish
force to back up decision of the council
But no doubt should be left on this subject
This nation cannot afford 10 allow council
in which it has SO small voice to carry it
into war against its will Our people will
have as much sense when the time comes to
act. and they will have more light to guide
them. When the emergency arises and they
understand all the circumstances and condi-
tons, they may be willing to assist by force
but they can not decide IN advance or allow
council to decide for them. aa.
Mr. Bryan has never given his countrymen
better advice than is contRined in this, yet the
president says it would be "supererogatory" to
have the purpose of the covenant and the obli-
CATION of the United States plainly set forth.

The Dollar and the Soviet

Mr.. Ackernanns suggestion that the Ameri-
can dollar has been working as an unconscious
ally of the soviet government is one that does
not wholly lack plausibility. 1t is commonly
conceded that the European desire to get at the
raw materials of Russia has been responsible,
in no small measure, for the changing front that
the council of premers is beginning to present
to Moscow. The low exchange of the Eu-
ropean countries has magnifed the American
dollar SO extraordinarily that, to Europeans, it
represents anything from dollar and half to
SIS or $25. Consequently it has become next to
impossible for Europe to purchase its raw
materials from the United States.
Had the European exchange not fallen, had
the dollar retained its old 1914 meaning to the
Continentals, the situation as regards raw
materials would certainly have been nothing
like so acute as it is now. The necessity of
making terms with soviet Russia would there
fore have not been SO imperious. Our high
American dollar has operated virtually as an
embargo upon American expectation to Europe.
The natural consequence has been to render the
plight of economic Europe desperate. The ap-
parent intent to make peace with the soviet gov
ernment embodies only one gesture to gain re-
lief Since the raw materials cannot come
from America they must come from Russia
Lenin or no Lenin.
The situation illustrates anew the might of
the economic consideration. Here were roughly
a dozen countries pursuing a common, or
roughly common political course; they were de-
termined to pursue it to its logical finish; but,
despite the fact they have undergone practically
no change of sentiment, the ptiless, slow-mov-
ing economic fact is now forcing, if it has not
already forced, reversal of that policy. Eco
nomic necessity has decreed resumption of
trade relations with Russia, and now all Europe
is talking of bowling to that mandate Such a
surrender must, in time, mean inevitably a
recognition of Lenin and his group as the de
facto government. The invisible economic
weapon has been on soviet Russa's side; and
it is somewhat astonishing for Americans to
discover that the high American dollar has been
an influential factor in Europe for the recogni-
ton of Lenin. The vicissitudes of politics are
proverbially strange, but they seem as nothing
beside the vicissitudes of conomics.-Minne-
apolis Tribune.

Between Hitchcock and Bryan.

II Nebraska republicans may view with
sequanimity the not unexpected outbreak of Mr..
Bryan against Senator Hitchcock. 1t contains
sthe ingredients for as pretty family fuss as
Eever disinterested spectators observed. One
spoint seems clear to an outsider, that Senator
Hitchcock will receive the endorsement of his
sparty in the state as its choice for president
s1t is his due, as leader nationally as we'll as
;aocally. The voters who have twice sent him
Ito the United States senate are not likely to
srebuke him now by refusing to grant him the
complimentary support he asks for in the con-
sNention at San Francisco If this be so, then
IMr. Bryan has placed himself in parlous posi-
zion by notifying his fellow citizens in advance
that he will not accept their judgment as to
ssvho should be the candidate. He went to Bal
sfimore under instructions, but with mental
reservations as to their binding effect, and at a
moment when it seemed that Champ Clark
would win, the great commoner abandoned the
scommission given him by the voters of his state,
land turned to Woodrow Wilson. His infexibil-
aity equals that of the president. Ordinary OBJ
sscrvcrs will incline to the opinion that in ask
ling the reputation of Senator Hitchcock N
Nebraska, Mr. Bryan has invited his own de-
sfeat. The test of this will come at the polls.

followers of the president, the anomaly of a
small minority prepared to defeat absolutely
Americas only hopes to participate in the
League of Nations. Unquestonably this atti-
tude is the result of two things, the presidents
autocratic demand that the treaty and covenant
be accepted without reservations and the politi-

party associates in the senate.
Under the constitution a two-thirds major
ity is required for the ratification of treaty,
but the present small minority against rathca-
ton cannot successfully maintain the conten-
ton that they, rather than the majority, express
the will of the people. The signs of the times
are overwhelming for ratification with the

this connects with the fact that as yet the

Farmer om Farm Wages.

| Farmer on Farm wages.
Gitner, Neb., March S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: l have taken
your paper Six yeays and think il
the best paper printed in Nebraska.
I get much information from your
| editorial page and read the letters
with interest from all parts of the
country on the many problems that
come up for consideration, and we
are thankful that there are SO many
that are not willing to be led away
by the wild and radical doctrines
we get on all sides.
I have read some two or three let
| ters lately that seem to me on the
extreme on wages for farm labor.
One writer says over at Lyons they
are offering 500 per month and
even $110, with board and washing
and a car to use Sundays, but says
man to draw such salary must be
real man. Now he goes on to say
he can find places for number of
men at SIS per month within the
next two weeks, but these must be
men and not the kind found in
Omaha that come out wearing
pointed shoes and afraid to step in
manure. Now there is a difference
of $35 per month, less the automo-
bile Sundays, and, in closing, says
he could use SO or 60 men himself.
He, l suppose, will give 500 or $110
per, and of course an automobile
for Sunday use, (and perhaps q
bicycle to ride from the house to
the barn morning, noon and eve
ning).
1t seems to me such letters are
misleading and are doing not only
the farmer that needs help an injus-
tice, but the public in general, for
such prices cannot be paid for farm
help at present conditions without
loss to the farmer as rule.
l have worked all my time except
about two years on a farm; began
as farm hand in '9S at SIT per
month; have made cross ties at 10
cents each and picked corn at 2
cents per bushel. Am now farming
400 acres and trying to pay for 80
acres l bought for little home, and
If am compelled to pay such wages
as some are demanding at this time
! will do as many others are doing
in eastern states-quit.
l know of many renters on 100
acres last year in Hamilton county
whose income did not reach 800
per month for 12 months,
All any farmer should ask for is
square deal, and unless we get it
the time is coming when thousands
will go hungry. With shorter days
and higher wages the h. C. Of l. will
remain with us.
II the farmer had made demands
during the war as the railroad en-
ploye did, when they got the Adam
son law, We might have profited by
it, but most farmers Americanism
would not permit. If all farmer and
labor organizations would work for
the good of all, or Ghe greatest
good for the greatest number) in a
short time this would be a much
better country.
I am member of the Farmers
union, and / am told by a man that
has worked in number of states
for the union than so per cent of
the Farmers union members of Ne
braska were either members, or in
favor of the .Nonpartisan league.
Now, if farmers are going to join the
league and the labor organizations
are led as a rule by radicals, let us
ask ourselves where we are drifting?
Here is hoping We may return to
the good old-fashioned Roosevelt
Americanism next November.

He then jumped to his hands and
as soon as they touched he sprang
to his feet and then back to his
hands. He repeated this several
times with lightning speed and then
asked Ralph what it looked like.
When Ralph said it looked like a
horse kicking Beppo told him that
he wasn't very far off for in Clown
land it was called the Mule Kicks.

Snap Down.

BY DIR. e. D. ANGELL.
There isn't any use in giving you
kids more tricks if you can't get a
first class snapdown," Beppo told
the boys, after he had watched them
try several round-offs. They didn't
finish the. trick very we'll and lacked
entirely the dash and fire that Beppo
put into the stunt. He would hit the
mat with his hands and with a light
ming turn would spring from them
and when his feet touched the mat
his body would be erect and he was
in such perfect position that he
could spring lightly into the air.
