date OF Frances objections to Ger

Of the l'reminr's main arguments Is
that tho Swedish government has In
tlmated its intention to Withdraw II
Germany is kept out of the league
much longer and the Premier feels
that otner neutral governments
might follow Sweden's example and
make the league u narrow and In
effective organization.
The failure of the United States to
join the league and the inability OF
the league In deal with recent grave
questions affecting world peace, has
made the situation worse. II is en-
phasZcd, and Lloyd George is pre-
pairing to take up these questions ut
the league meeting in Geneva and
point out TO France that the power
Of the league will be seriously re-
duced unless the divergence of view
is removed.
The Premier, realizing that the sit
uatIon would still be serious IL France
should Withdraw because of Ger

side-track this danger by pointing
out the present policies of exclusion

disturbing phase OF the present sit

Hope of Clearer Understanding

I \ their alarm and encouragement at the
steady downward trend OF prices for
farm products, the farmers of the country
through their organizations have appeaIed
To President Wilson for a conference with
the President and his Cabinet in tho hone
OF deyising some plan OF action by which
relief from the distressing situation may
be obtained. The farmers are confirmed in
their opinion that market decentralization
Is the direct outgrowth of the currency de-
fation policy of the Treasury Department.
They argue that it is unjustly discrimi-
native against agricultural interests, in that
1t compels them to bear the burden of, re-
stricted credits, which is alleged to he the
primary cause OF tho price declines, already
below the actual costs OF production
On the other hand, defenders OF the
Treasury policy contend that such dchauon
as is being brought about is necessary TO
the restoration OF normal financial and in
dustrial conditions. They claim, and in
this they are supported by the Federal Re
serve Board, that there is no discrimination
against agricultural interests, but on the
contrary, these interests are favored to the
full extent of the boards ability to release
credits without impairing the similar obli-
CATION TO conserve the welfare of all other
forms OF business and Industrial activity
That such conference might he pro-
ductive OF truer understanding of the
real issues involved in the controversy NAV
readily be accepted. While it may be true
that both sides to the controversy have
given mature consideration to all OF the
facts bearing on the situation and arrived
AT what appears TO them to be logical con-
illusions as to the vital factors influencing
the downward movement of prices, there
is always possible the hope that COM
parson OF Views may throw additional
light on obscure points Of difference which,
cleared UP, would tend to bring about q
better understanding as a basis for common
action.
Nniucstionably, restoration OF normal
financial conditions is necessary 10 the

| cations of the policy now pursued that
would prove generally beneficial. If, on the
other hand, it shouldS be disclosed to the
satisfaction of the farmers that It works no
discrimination against them. then they
would be left in better mood to sustain
their fair share OF the incidental burden en-
! tailed by soundly conceived defiaton and
might be expected to lend their co opera
