THE RECORD STANDS

A careful reading Of Admiral Sims ,
charges so far as published shows that
they run exclusively along the line of
alleged failure Of the Navy Department
to cooperate fully with the Allies dur
ing our participation in the war.
Charges so general and of such a char
acter may and doubtless should i'm
press congress as worthy Of most rigid
investigation, says the New York
World. But they will fail to impress
the American public as either sensa-
tional or disturbing in the slightest de-
gree. This is because they tend to i'm
peach the general record of American
naval cooperation in winning the war,
and that record is entirely beyond i'm
parchment. It is known, it is inter
nationally admitted, it is broadly es-
tablished in actual fact, it is as secure
as the past is secure.
When the record shows that our naval
cooperation made the blockade of Ger
many as perfect as anything of the
kind could possibly be; when it shows
that thereafter the German high seas
fleet went into permanent hiding as
it shows that the tide Of the submarine
WAL Iuiucu luSCdutly duu COWplcCt
against the Germans with that coop
Grafton; when it shows that under con-
voy of the American navy through
enemy infested seas the life of not a
single American soldier was lost among
the many hundreds Of thousands trans
ported across the Atlantic-no amount
of congressional investigation can prove
failure to cooperate fully in the win
ming Of the war.
Knocking" the navy or the army
for personal purposes, knocking for pro-
fessional purposes, knocking for parti-
san purposes, is no doubt to be expect
ed after victorious war as often in
peace for no higher purposes. Mistakes
have almost necessarily been made
which none the less may call for serious
investigation, that the future may
profit from the past. But in the large
sense Of naval cooperation, probable
cause for investigation has not been
shown and cannot be shown. There is
the record, and it stands.

SQUARE DEALING FARMERS

Fairmont Sentinel: eff ever the pro;
ducers of food crop had chance to
squeeze the market for all the traffic
would bear, the opportunity came to
the California Walnut Growers asso-
citation, comprising eighty per cent Of
the growers of the state, with the 1919
crop,' writes Freeman Tilden in The
Country Gentleman of February 9TH
The crop was 50,000O,000 pounds, 49,
OOO,OOO pounds above the previous year,
but the market was bare of nuts and
the French harvest was light and Of
poor quality.
So the trade held it's breath in antici-
patton of staggering opening price.
Then came the announcement, thirty
one and half cents a pound, much
less than was expected and less than the
independents were charging. Brokers
and even retailers wired their congrat-
ulations; newspapers commented upon
the fairness and conservatism Of the
association. Within forty-eight hours
orders were booked for every pound OF
nuts in sight.
The fact that the association has an
able manager and broad-minded
board Of directors caused this square
dealing with the consumer. These men
do not concern themselves alone with
one crop; they also look to the future
of their industry. The service OF the
association to it's members is not con-
fined to it's warehouses;, splendidly
equipped for grading and packing the
nuts; it also helps them to get big high
quality yields.

Wide Spirit of Unrest.
Concern Over Labor Famine and
Prices Told In Answer to Cues.
tionnaires Sent Out.

Observation-Disclosures of a wide
spread spirit of unrest among farm
ers of the country, so threatening as
likely to disturb the existing econom-
ic structure, is considered by govern
ment officials to be revealed in 49,
900 replies to a QUESTIONABLE recent
ly sent out by the Postofice depart
ment.
The replies, as thus far digested,
were summarized in report prepared
by George l.. Wood, superintendent of
the Postoffice departments division Of
rural mails, and read to the Senate
Postoffice committee by James l. Blak-
slee, fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral
The views of the 10000 farmers
were obtained by the broadcasting Of
100000 copies of the QUESTIONABLE
throughout the agricultural states,
asking for suggestions whereby the
Postoffice department might aid in
cutting down the cost of living.
Answers to the Questionnaires have
been coming in since the middle of
December at the rate of 1000 day,
and while small percentage of them
are from we'll satisfied farmers having
no suggestions to make, the great pro-
portion as summarized by officials,
show the major complaints of the
farmers in numerical order to be:
Inability to obtain labor to work the
farms, hired help, and the farmers
children having been lured to the city
by higher wages and easier living.
High profits taken by middlemen
for the mere handling of food prod
ucts, and
Lack of proper agencies of contact
between the farmer and the ultimate
consumer.
Many of the replies, one official who
had looked over them said, probably
as many of SO per cent, indicate that
the writer's contemplate either leaving
their farms or curtailing acreage un-
der cultivation, because of one or
more of the three major grievances
and because Of the growing feeling
against on-producin5 city jewellers.
Commenting on the replies, Mr..
Blakslee said:
"Such a condition at such a time
when the predominant cry is for pro-
duction and still more production can
not but constitute grave menace"

Get Into The Game

The Augusta Republican Club has
its formal opening tonight and is to
start the campaign in the Capital
City with a vim and flourish that
promise to be kept up throughout
The club has only recently been
started. but has grown rapidly and is
indicative Of an extraordinary inter
est in politics this year.
In the country at large it is gen
orally understood that Maine is a Re-
publican State and that this is a Re-
publican year. but assumptions are
not votes neither do they elect can
didates; nor will a bare majority be
satisfactory when landslide might
reasonably be expected. Therefore
Maine Republicans are getting into
the game, determined that no chances
shall be lost to make certain the. cleo
ton of the State ticket in September
and the return Of the party to the
White House, March 4. 1921.
The local Republican club deserves
and should have the support Of every
citizen of Augusta who believes In
the principles and policies of the Re-
publican party.
