Need Markets Not Loans.

Ihe farmers OF the grain growing regions have
been hard hit Wheat at the present price probably
shows an actual loss over the cost of production.
This enforced liquidation may be more serious but
It IS no different than to all other raw materials
and as to all lines of business
The number of farmers their growing cohesive
ness as having common interest and the vast i'm
portance of their Industry to all others, gives their
situation, however greater prominence than that of
others. The demand for relief in some form is
more insistent their behalf but quite inevitably
there are many opinions to just what this relief
should be.
1t would seem almost self-evident however, that
credits for holding back grain from markets. would
have but temporary effect and would quite surely
have more disastrous final result than the regular
process of liquidation. The domestic price might
be forced up for time, though any increase would
but reopen the domestic food gates it might even
bring here competing foreign grain.
The farmers were most unfortunate in the
breakdown of transportation agencies during the
summer This prevented them from taking advan-
tage OF the higher prices at that time 1t was, how
ever exactly what foretoid by the United States
Gram Corporation months before it came. 1t was
this also, that was chief factor in keeping up the
price at that time and so delaying the break
What the remedies for the present conditions
are, If actual remedies possible would seem to
center around credits not directly the farmers to
hold their grain, but to foreign buyers to make
broader market for it. If the Great Lakes-St
Lawrence waterways project was an accomplished
fact it would have considerable effect. 1t would
not only facilitate and speed exports, but would
materially reduce transportation cost
But for the present foreign credits through
some combination of financing seems the only
answer Otherwise holding in the face of the uni
versal crop reports, would but make bad worse

eaily all of the lower Maryland fishing places de-
pend on Washington for the greater part of their
patronage. With the expensive and annoying inter-
ruptions of ths toll gate in effect II seems probable
that Capital fishermen would find that the nimble
catfish can be captured off a<number Of places be-
sides the Eastern Shore Maryland is beautiful
State but with toll gates obscuring the scenery it
would look considerably less attractive to the gaso
line driven tourist.
Maryland authorities plead the necessity for
increased revenue. That is all very good But why
make the stranger and potential customer within
your gates the goatl A department store that
charged admission fee would hardly do much
business and State that diseourages automobile
visitors will also cripple its pleasure resorts and
hostelries The loss of business will not be nearly
recompensed by the revenue gained by a method
redolent of /pnehbeck economy unworthy of a
Commonwealth.
Many think that the proposed toll gate restora-
ton is being agtated threat to those working
to Maryland automobile license reciprocity.
Congress has now two bills before it designed to
remedy the license situation. 1t would be more
than regrettable if Maryland licensing were made
uniform with that of other States, only to have toll
gates pop up like bogies in place OF the willy village
constables that now ambush the luckless motorist.

Delay VIII Not Be Excused.

There is much insistence that Congress must
revise the tax laws at once, in the coming short
session. This comes in the main from those polit-
ical agencies that were so emphatcaly repudiated
but month ago. They are troubled only by what
is IN them, which is the sort of remorse strikingy
exempGhed by DIR. Dernberg
But there are many others who insist that Con-
gress should begin" this revision during the short
term, and this is exactly what the Congressional
leaders announce they intend to do. 1t is proposed
that the committee shall do in the next three
months much, at least, of the preliminary work
even to framing the bill.
This and should be done 1t should not be
left to start with the extra session. which will not
get at work seriously until in May if called to meet
in April as is expected. There is an intervening
hve months during which hearings could be held
information gathered and the first draft of bill
made.
OF course, this might have to be done by trump"
committees, by the hold-over members if prolonged
but they will be the ones who will largely control
the new committees and their work would be
subject to revision. This most needed legislation
could be greatly hastened in this way and it will
not be satisfying to the taxpayers to merely say
such plan is not practical.
1t is practical, and excuses of that sort will not
be accepted. 1t is of the utmost importance that
industry and capital should know what is to be
faced in the next fiscal year. 1t is essential that
they should definitely know the form of the taxes to
replace the excess profits tax and the extent and
placing of all other forms of taxation Business can
not readjust itself until this is known; it can not
plan for investment sale expansion under present
conditions of tax uncertainty.
1t is probable that, irrespective of the iniquity
OF the profits tax, something will have to be
found substitute, if for no other reason than
that there is promise that that peculiar form of tax
yevenue will largely disappear. Unless there is
decided change in the liquidation process, excess
profits may join the dodo
But the total OF government revenue can be cut
only by retrenchmcnt, by cutting the civil list the
quick and by repassng the budget bill in time for it
to demonstrate its usefulness. Only by economies,
by cutting out waste, recognizing the departmental
system and introducing business methods can tax
alton be reduced from the excess burden over the
enormous fixed charges inherited from four years of
gift-giving

Building Up Self help.

When all the American organizations for Eli
ropean relief consolidated in the European
Relief Council, the Literary Digest placed its Or
ganizaton at its disposal for collecting and receiv-
ing the funds. 1t not new work with the D-
gest. 1t has for several years been in like work
organized and carried on by itself at its own cost
1t not only placed its agencies at the service of
the council but it contributed $4,000 and broadly
advertised throughout the country the call for funds
This was not self-advertising. The Digest does
not need that. 1t was but quick and effective re-
sponse to the call Of the heart, something popu-
larly denied to corporations, but which none the
less they have.
Last year the United States fed 100000 chill
dren in Europe. This year people are asked to
feed but 100000 The difference shows the rapid
ty of productive recovery in those countries in spite
of continued wars in many parts.
During the year Belgium has become able to
care for her own. So has Hungary, and to the
major extent, Czecho Sovaka and Jugo- -Slavia. The
greatest measure of destitution and misery is now
in Austria, Poland, the Balkan and Baltic states
May be to of these, this want and
misery is mainly the fault Of the people themselves
their governments. But the children are not to
blame. If countries are led needlessly into war.
shall hundreds of thousands of little children be left
to starve? Even if wilfuly neglected by those who
should be responsible for them, children are not left
to suffer by humane people.
Moreover it is exactly the Of this respon-
sibility which is being built up by the American
organization having this greatest world charity in
charge This will be the lasting result which will
make it unnecessary to continue contributed help
another year when food production is sufficient
for all.
The Washington herald., 1920-12-06
More Than Charity.

When people give to help feed the children
OF Europe, few OF them fully realize the full extent
of the benefit their gifts will bring those stricken
countries They not only give to the starving, they
not only saving whole peoples from almost anni-
hilation, but they also building up organizations
there for self-help.
For every American dollar sent there in the
form Of food, those countries must contribute two
All the cost Of distribution and administration is
borne by them. Beyond American supervision, they
provide the personnel Of each organization, and
these and women are trained in method, sys-
tem detail and business administration.
They take an immense pride in having SO large
d share in the work. They feel the responsibility
and have an intense satisfaction in an awakened
realization of their ability do for themselves and
for their own.
This organization building done in Belgium
during the war, so that later the Belgians them
selves carried on their relief work. The groups
that had been brought together, stayed together
They had learned to unity their efforts, to sys-
tematze their operations and to carry on" for
themselves.
Exactly this same work is being done among
the people of all the countries in which the Euro
pean Relief Council is now feeding the children
National organizations being formed and trained
that will take over and continue this care for the
helpless when their countries resume production;
when they provide their foods, America
drops out. They will go because they have both
learned how and because there has been aroused in
them the realization of their responsibility together
with that sympathy and urge of duty which will not
permit them to stop in this wedoing
So this American council is not merely dis
pensing temporary charity. 1t is almost making
over entire peoples. 1t is breaking class barriers
1t is arousing greater feeling of national kinship
II is awakening democratic sense of mutual re-
sponsibility and developing administration capacity
Surely this is a work worth while in itself and in
which all of us must want to have a part

There is a lucky sign for travel

likely to be more fortunate than
those with business aims.
The planetary rule is held to dis

Both men and women in public
life may suffer severely from hostile

Again there is a sinister sign for
all that pertains to the ancient
