There In q Reason.
The coal rails were about the weah h

is found in the open winter, the less

activity in industrial corporations ana
increased production.
Where coal could not be had few
weeks ago for money. the supply l.,
now in excess of the demand.
Dock operators at Duluth fear they

motto, d member of the house of peers.
advocates renewal of the Anglo
japanese alliance and insists on the
removal of the clause which exempts
Great Britain from any obligations to
Japan in the event of dispute with
America.
Baron SaEamoto points out that this
exemption clause has been a dead letter
for the last ten years.
The baron argues that the clause is
against the spirit of article y of the
league covenant, which places an equal
obligation upon each member of the
league of ma tons in respect Of mutual
defense against territorial aggression.
T Finally. he argues that the peace OF
the Pacific is now maintained by the
balance of power of Great Britain.
America and Japan. If Great Britain
is relieved of her obligation by means
of the arbitration treaty. the equi-
librium of power in the Pacific will
be destroyed. he asserts.

MEREDITH is ALARMED
At LOSS OF PERSONNEL
Secretary in Annual Report Says
Important Units Are in Danger
of Going to Pieces.

Turnover in personnel in the De-
partment of Agriculture "has reached
an alarming stage" according to the
first annual report of Secretary Mere
dith. made public Saturday.
Important units are in danger of
going to pieces because of the lack
of funds to prosecute the work at
hand or because present limitations
on salaries make it impossible to
maintain a sufficient personnel to con-
duct their operations effectively"
states Mr.. Meredith.
This is no eXaggeralon In one
of the most important bureaus-one
dealing with serious economic prob
lemS-eight of the sixteen divisions are
without directing heads because the
vacancies could not be filled at tbe
available salaries. One-haif OF the
work of the bureau is now without
adequate leadership"
American farmers face a situation
due to falling prices for farm prod
uects. which should be dealt with as
national problem, Secretary Mere
dith declares in his report.
There is perhaps no single soiu =
ton for the situation which the farm
ers are now facing. but there are
many steps which can and should be
taken to place our agriculture on a
more satisfactory basis. and to stabil-
lie the business Of farming. not in the
interest OF the farmers alone. but in
the interest OF the nation as whole

country is imperative
Several remedies We're suggested. in
Guiding extension of cooperative
marketing and some means of aiding
in carrying over tn periods of low

farm and personal credit must be
given more favorable consideration,
