Farmer and Wage Earner

The prosperity of the farmer is the basis of the
prosperity of the 1t is equally true that
the prosperity of the wage is the basis Of the
prosperity of the farmer
The present depression in industry which results
in unemployment to thousands in every large city, is
largely the result Of conditions the farm. The pro-
ducers of meat grain hay live stock, cotton and other
farm products the first feel the collapse of war
prices They found themselves with the results of their
years investments in labor and and other
items their hands and sign of profitable market
At best they compelled to sell at prices that
sented serious loss, and they could not sell
at any price.
The result of this condition sudden cessation
of the farm demand for manufactures and for every
thing except the actual necessities of life Coupled
with the cessation of the foreign dsmand for American
goods this vanishing of the farm market deprived man
in the reduction of forces the closing of mills Then
the city consumers we're no longer able to make pur
chases freely, and this lied to further contraction of
working forces.
Such vicious circle of business depression can
not be cured by artificial of any kind. Relief
TO the farmers is being undertaken by the national
ernment with beneficial results and the general bus-
ness conditions are improving slowly. Complete remedy
will come only with time.
When the farmers sell their products at profit
they will begin TO buy freely Then there viii be a
demand for manufactured goods of all kinds Then
the wage in the cities will buy freely and the
demand for manufactured goods of all kinds will be
increased General prosperity in the cities will increase
the demand for the things that from the farms
and thus the prosperity of the farmers will be increased
and they will buy more of what the city people make.

They have a definite task in the

Undesirable Islands

The suggestion has been made, and it is finding
favor in quarters, that the United States should
accept certain islands of the West Indies payment of
debts due to this country from Great Britain and
France. The possessions of France include Martinique
Guadalupe and some smaller islands, while Great Britain
holds Jamaica, the Bahamas, Bermuda and numerous
islands of the lesser Antilles group.
None of these islands possesses any considerable
value of commercial industrial kind. The United
States has need of them coaNng stations
landing points for cables They have harbors that
desirable stopping places for American ships.
In the possession of unfrendly nation these
islands would be serious menace to American lines
of communication particularly those running thru the
Panama canal. But it would hardly be claimed that
the danger from Franco from Great Britain from
this cause the possibility of thei being used bases
for submarine air raids against the United States,
is worthy Of serious consideration.
As matter of finance the United States is better
of without those islands than it would be with them,
and there to think that their people
better off under the British and French flags than they
would be under the Stars and Stripes The experience
Of Cuba Porto Rico and Sano Domingo not favorable
to the annexation of any West Indian islands.
About the only thing that can be said in favor of
hs acquisition of the French and British West Indies
is matter Of sentiment Against this is the strong
probability that such move would strong resent
ent both in Canada and in Mexico and this resentment
would much more than offset anything that would be
gained by the transfer.
If an offer of such sale should be made by either
France or Great Britain it would be worthy of consid
Grafton but the islands not desirable enough to make
worth while for the United States to take the nitia
tive in tho matter.

Pueblo Depot Improvements

The announcement that the railroad companies of
the Pueblo terminal will spend 100000 in improvements
at the Union passenger station will be generally taken
final TO the proposed reconstruction of the
railroad yards, the removal of the passenger station
from its present site and the opening of river channel
along the foot of the bluffs the south of the present
yards
Such undertaking undoubtedly would solve the
problem of flood protection for Pueblo in the best pos
sbe way, but without the cooperation of the railroad
companies il would be mpracticable for the Pueblo
city district to undertake such project.
The improvements at the Union station will be
welcomed by all outgoing and incoming passengers. 1t
is useless to give further consideration to tho bluff
channel plan of flood prevention.

Japanese Naval Strength

1t is claimed by the Japanese delegates to the
Washington conference that the national interests of
Japan require ratio of 10 TO for the japanese navy
rather than the l to ratio proposed by Secretary

large that Of Japan.

interests but the result of very careful reckoning

Secretary Hughes.
If Japanese interests are not safe with the 1O-6
ratio it is because Japan has imperial plans and pur
poses that are antagonistc to the United States and
that in conflict with the policy of world peace.
And in such nothing less than navy twice as
strong as that of Japan should be maintained by the
United States.
This alternative, made unmistakably plain to the
Japanese delegates and supported by public sentiment
thru the United States will be the strongest possible
