country in its stiffened grasp.
Under the Paris covenant France
could have aided the United states to
gain freedom and independence.
Under that covenant Abraham Lin
coin could not have interviewed to

George III could have called upon the
powers OF the earth to assist him in
pursuing George washington and
executing him as traitor, and those
powers would have violated their

Under the Paris covenant the United
States would have been assailed by

prove how dangerous 1t Is to pledge

These are some OF the reasons why

Harding. that the Paris compact is
not the proper method OF obtaining

be obliterated and Cancelled. Then a
practical plan OF voluntary interna-
tional cooperation can and doubtless

FIRST sUGAR--Now COAL.
[Waterloo Courier.l

GWaterloo Courier.]
In central Iowa farmers are now
being offered SO cents a bushel for
new corn. At the same time they
are being obliged to pay $3.50 per
ton for southern Illinois coal, and
$40 ton for Iowa coal If this situa-
ton does not call for action fully as
vociferously as the matter Of pulling
Europe's chesenuts out Of the fire,
then we confess to an inability to
properly visualize mundane things.
The freight on Iowa coal Is about
SIPS per ton. The cost of coal at the
mine is less than 81. Where does the
other IS come in? Southern Illinois
coal that last spring sold in Water
loo at around 1925, but which now
is $3.50 in central Iowa. ucosts per-
haps 81 ton additional on account
of increase In freight rates. How
ever, the increase in the price the
consumer must pay is IS ton! The
cost Of the coal at the mine has not
materially changed, if at all, since
the last adjustment with the miners
was made.
We cannot furnish all the details
nor let daylight fully into the sit
uation. but we can state with great
assurance that the consumer in CEN
trail Iowa is being robbed in broad
daylight of at least 81 on every ton
Of coal he buys.

the penitentiary, and would be, we
believe, if there was half the DISPOSE

that there is to succor Europe, on the
