The disclosures relative to the responsibilities OF
the United it should enter the League of Nations
surely crystazing public sentiment in this country
against it,
Senator Spencer charged that President Wilson had
promised Rumania Serbia military aid, basing his
charge on the French official of the secret es
sion of the peace conference held May 81, 1919.
President Wilson has denied the correctness of this
port and given out what he claims is "ofhcial
record of the speech which of the American steno
graphers happened to preserve.
The circumstances of the speech this. Rumania
and Serbia were being given large additions of territory
and the greater powers would be expected to defend the
territorial integrity of those nations when the boundaries
were established and therefore insisted the rights OF
minority peoples in those nations being saguarded
because the conflicting ambitions of the various
small peoples the Balkans has the friction which
has repeatedly famed up into directly indirectly
involving all Europe.
In speech which President Wilson contributed to
this discussion he said according to his official
report there underes all of these transactions the
pectatton the part for example, of Rumania and of
Czechosovakia Serbia that if any covenants of
this settlement not Observed the United States will
armies and her navies to that they OBJ
served"
1t does not appear that Mr. Wilson said or did any
thing dsabuse the minds of the Rumanans and the
Serbians of this expectation This then is the moral
obligation which Mr. Wilson told the senate committee
rested on States military force to
in the provisions of the League of Nations
covenant we're not observed.
The American people not ready to accept either
a legal moral obligation of this kind.
President Wilson, the author of the League of Ma
tions pan has thus condemned the League by his
words. The surprising thing is that he did more
frankly tell the nation just what obligations under
the League plan were to be- rather than leaving it
for his political opponents to force him into such
damaging admission.

Although the conviction that marketing of farm
products must be taken out of the hands Of
and spectators is general, there distinct
schools of thought holding two distinct rreconci

One school adheres to the policy of state ownership

Mr.. Editor:
1t was after nine o'clock last night
when 1 saw a Pickering light in Corn
TasseTs barn and went over to investi-
gate. 1 found Corn milking his tenth
COW by candle light.
Corn" said I, what are you doing
out here this time of night, why are
you not in bed?"
Ding busted" said he, 1--WE got to
live, don't I? and fourteen hours a day
will hardly finish the work which I
must do; with 200 acres to plow, so
acres of corn to husk, 500 loads of
manure to haul and hired help at SIS
day I must make my own work
count or go bankrupt in few years. "
And how much pay do you get for
all that work." said I.
WELL" said he, IT reckon get just
about enough beans and bacon to keep
me in working condition for next year.
Corn" said l. 'you and most of the
farmers are on the wrong track; the
coal miner, the manufacturer, the lab
orer all decrease production by laying
idle part of the time or shorter hours
and thus they force the consumer by
under production to pay high prices for
their products. You crowd two days
work into one in order to produce more
and sell it at a loss. Let us do some
figuring. According to government
statistics it costs $25 per acre to pro-
duce a crop of small grain"
He figured a few minutes and this
was the result:
so acres in oats, 80 bus. to acre at
so cts. equals $3.50.
80 acres in barley, 20 bus. to acre, at
so cts. equals $500.
100 acres in wheat, 10 bus. to acre, at
$500, equals $4,000.
Total value, $3.50.
Cost per government estimate 200
acres at $500 per acre, $4,000, net loss
on grains, $1450.
by gar" said he, next year I'll let
my land lay idle and Save that loss of
$145O."
"It is not quite so bad as it appears
in those figures" said I, because the
cost of producing per acre includes a
fair wage for your work which will
just about offset your apparent loss
"Allee samee," said he, "Irl put in
less crops on my farm next year and
try the profiteers' way of curtailing
production until such times when the
Non Partisan League will achieve a
fair deal for the farmers"
Right you are" said I.
