When Carranza was driven from

THE TREATY AFTERMATH.

TT sounds paradoxical," says Otto
H. Kahn, but in a large sense it is
true that Europe for the past year has
been suffering less from the effects
Of the war than from the effects of
the peace" For this situation he
blames the treaty making body in gem
eral and America in particular. In his
Indictment of the treaty makers he
says:

whiting down, and has consumed the
time. thought and energies of the lead
ing statesmen in the various countries
to the detriment of domestic affairs.
Selemnly proclaiming the principle
of self determination" they have
granted it or withheld it. according to
their discretion. They have involved
themselves in commitments of sover-
eighty, control or regulation thruout
the world calling for military and 9TH
er efforts, the cost and burden of
which go beyond the present capaci-
ties of their respective nations and be-
yond the sanction of public opinion.
They injected into the matter-of-
fact business Of making peace with

that called for calm and detached and
separate consideration and treatment.
They have mishandled the fine and
universally acclaimed conception of an
association of nations to maintain and
strengthen international law and pre-
serve peace, ana seeking to utilize 1t
for unrelated purposes have evolved
an instrument largely divergent from
that conception.
Thus and in other ways, instead of
peace and settlement, they have
wrought dispeace and unsettlement.

GIVE US A REST.

Most people think their food is pro-
duced in the corner grocery store and
meat market, says r. B. Thompson of
Salem, O., in an article entitled when
Do We Eat?" in the Banker-Farmer.
published by the American Bankers
association.
Mr.. Thompson sets forth that a re-
cent survey by the state and federal
departments of agriculture in Mich
igan disclosed that there were $4,000
abandoned farm houses in that great
industrial state, and that of the $780,
600 men left on the farms a great ma
iority are above fifty years af age;
that during the past three years the
man power of Michigan's farms has
been reduced $4,000, to say nothing of
the wives, mothers and sisters who
have accompanied the men and boys
from the farms to the industrial cen
ters-that when these astounding
facts were made known. II should have
constituted one of the biggest human
interest news stories for the metropo1-
itan press of Michigan and adjoining
states since the signing of the armi-
stice.
And when a similar survey showed
$4,000 farm houses vacant in New
York state at the very moment when
people were crowding into the cities
and towns so rapidly that they were
compelled to live in crowded apart
ments and even in tents. the big, out
standing fact, he continues. which i'm
pressed the metropolitan press OF the
greatest metropolis of the world was
that New York's cities were confront
ed with housing problem and rent
profiteering problem, and that some
thing ought to be done about it!
Mr.. Thompson, like many other
persons. seems to be unduly alarmed.
Conditions such as he describes right
themselves in time. When the labor
market in the cities becomes glutted.
as it is certain to do, and the time ar
rives when it pays better to farm than
to work in factories, workers will be-
gin to drift back to the rural districts
and the country will be saved again as
it has been times without number.
Just let the people alone and they will
work out their own salvation. They
are tired of being told what they
should do
