Hitting All of Us

Secretary Houston seems to en-
tcrtain against the farmer the
feeling that John Randolph of Roa-
noke confessed to having against
sheep when he sail that he never
saw one without a wish to kick it.
The Secretary throttled the War
Finance Corporation last spring jus
as it was about to function. This
emergency agency to soften the
shocks necessarily incident to Il
period of readjustment was author
lied by practically unanimous votes
in both houses of Congress as Il
chief feature of the reconstruction
program. But the Secretary knew
better than Congress or any one
else what was wise. Taking ad-
vantage of the discretion lodged in
his office to supervise the board, he
discontinued its work altogether.
Still stubbornly holding he is pos
sessed of all knowledge, the Secre-
tary is endeavoring to induce the
President to veto the recent resolu-
tlon of Congress instructing him to
let the corporation function. The
Secretary, a pure gem Of the Wilson
regime, is as autccratic as his CHIEF
is controlled by that spirit of self
sufficiency th..t the November eloc
ton cmphatically rebuked.
But, apparently not entirely salts
ficl with the other alleged argu-
ments by which he has sought to
Justify his arbitrary attitude, The
Secretary pow resorts to dcmagogy.
He says that to create credit fund
to finance sales abroad will benefit
manufacturing interests-the big
makers Of steel, electrical goods,
agricultural machinery, etc. If so,
what Of it? Don't we want Amer
lcan workmen to have work? Secre.
tary Houston is manifestly trying
in \ Blyanitic way to play on
prejudices.
How little the Secretary cares
about facts is indicated by his
statement that there is no demand
abroad for our goods. This is sheer
nonsense. Throughout the world,
as every observer reports, there is
lively desire to purchase American
goods. If we would rather sell on
credit than to have unused sur
pluses in our warehouses the empty
ships now crowding New York.
harbor would soon be filled and out,
ward bound.
That which disturbs all business
and affects every one is the rapiditS
of price changes. A year ago every
one was afraid not to buy and com
peted in frenzy Of competition
-r Now there is a fear to buy. Tn.
evils of artificial imitation ar
cqualed by the evils of an artificial
dehation. Practically the only pro
posal to bring in gradual readjust
ment is through tie recreation of tn
War Finance Board, and to preven
this seems the final kick the Admin
istration would give to the genera
welfare.

Naual Riudlru
An Earnest Plea for q Truce in
Armament Building

<IfUNIHtCut oQlQUS
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in The Tribune
of to-day on Naval Rivalry Again"
is my excuse for writing this letter.
I am glad that The Tribune is opposed
to our adopting the mailed fist policy
of Prussianism
The great peoples of the earth are
just now staggering out of the blood
welter of the World War and are still
tottering under unprecedented burdens
of taxation, and it is the height of i'm
policy for the United States to lead
at this time in another rivalry of
ornaments like that which obtained in
Europe, reaching its climax in 1914
and precipitating the cataclysm of the
World War
Up to the time of the great war Amer
lea was dominated by a spirit of
pacihsm and hyper r-sentimentalsm. The
proclamation from every public forum,
that we set other nations of the world
d great moral example by disarming,
was received with applause and ho-
sannas. Any one who at that time
advocated even moderate preparations
against war-which we sorely needed
was cried out of court. Was all
our pacifst hue and cry then sheer
hypocrisy?
At that time | worked hard for ma
tional defense because we needed it,
An~ ~
which was the World War. But the
crisis is now past and we no longer
need the preparations against war
which we then needed. | am even now
as strongly as | was then in favor of
adequate armaments for our protection
against any possible contingency.
Great Britain and Japan evidently
are willing to agree TO an armament
truce stopping all further naval and
military preparations, abiding by the
present status quo of naval and mill
try strength if we will also agree.
If either Great Britain or Japan should
break the truce we should know it. and
what we did in the World War proves
ei'"O we S'tOutu NC H'ic W plepdlc LOT
war as quickly and adequately As the
truce breaker would.
If Great Britain and Japan will not
agree to such a truce. then, in spite of
the added burden of taxation which
we should have to bear, | am for a
great navy, the biggest in the world.
am fer q navy big enough to police
the oceans and defend all our shores
against any possible attack.
But if Great Britain and Japan agree
to stop all further work on naval and
military preparations and we refuse.
then. we, who have heretofore been
proclalmlng ourselves as the great
moral standard bearers of the world,
will stand condemned in the eyes Of
the peoples Of all nations as selfish
hypocrtes, devoid Of that fine spirit
of brotherhood and humanity assumed
in the old pre-bellum days of Organism
and the pacitist chautauqua
We need no League Of Nations. A
gentlemcn's agreement to such a truce
would not be an entangling alliance
any more than a gentlemen's agreement
among three neighboring farmers not
to turn their cattle into one Anothcr's
cornfields would be an entangling alli-
ance. HUDSON MAXIM.

no laws ever can reform such
character. Perhaps in wiser gen
Grafton better use will be found
for the personal bravery that was
here wasted on the streets of New
York, and that save in brief war
time service of patriotism was
constant aid to crime, vice and cor
ruption.

BILLION ADDED IN
CROP YIELDS
Great Strides In 10 Years
Made On Lower
Mississippi

MEMPHIS, March 3O.-An in
crease of more than $1,O00,OO0 900
IN crop production was made by
states of the lower Mississippi Val
ley in the ten years from 1910, ac-
cording, to estimates by the South
ern Alluvial Land Association, of
Memphis. The development is at
trlbuted to the reclamation and culti-
walton of thousands of acres of low
lands, and to the fact that farmers
are getting away from a one-crop
system, producing general farm crops
and live stock in addition to cotton.
The greatest growth in farm
wealth is shown by Arkansas, which
is credited with a gain of more than
700 per cent in 10 years. In 1910
the crop wealth of Arkansas was
soy, 1000, according to govern
ment estimates. Last year it is es-
timated to have reached at least
| $400, 100000.
Crop production in Mississippi last
year is estimated at 100000, 900
whereas it was but $84, 100000 ten
| years ago.
The Tennessee gain was from $7O,-
100000 in 1910 % $685., 100000 in
1919, or more than 500 per cent in
ten years.
Higher prices for farm crops last
year than in previous years are. con-
| sidered in estimating the gain, .ac-
cording to the Memphis association.
1t is only in the last few years that
there has been big crop production
IN the one-time overfowed areas of
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi,
according to the Southern Alluvial
Land Association. The assistance
given by the federal government in
the building of levees to end over
flows by the Mississippi river, and the
development of drainage on a big
scale has made possible the reclama-
tion and cultivation of idle lands
which now are producing the added
crop wealth of lower valley states.
As showing big strides in general
farming and live stock raising, it is
pointed out that none of the states
of the lower valley formerly shipped
more than 10000 head of hogs
year to outside markets, whereas the
one state of Mississippi last year
shipped nearly $5,000,000 worth of
hogs to market.
To inroads of the cotton boil Wee
vii few years ago is attributed the
rapid change from the one-crop sys-.
tenn to the diversified system now be-
ing practiced 1t is declared that

here say that the eagerness of wo-

disparity in numbers between the
sexes.
In five states, moreover, women of
voting age outnumber the men. Mas

264 more women than men, North
Carolina is next with woman's ma
