POLITICS AT H0ME|
Swinging Round the Circle"

Former Vice President Marshall
| opened his readable contribution tc
last Sundays Star thus:
LAS I go from place to place in
, America and converse with men in
every station in life. listening to what
| they say and peering beneath their
words"
In this way Mr.. Marshall is acquir
ing good deal of valuable informa
| ton bearing on all sorts of subjects
He is greeting men and women whose
conversation is worth while. Their
very presence at his meetings-he is
filling lecture engagements-testifi
to their interest in public questions
and in public men.
He should. and probably will, be
come especially well informed on the
subject of political sentiment as it
exists here. there and yonder. Local
politicians of his own party, and even
those of other parties. will take his
hand and tell him the lay Of the
land thereabOuts.
BY 1924. therefore, Mr.. Marshall
Will nave WlueIleQ COnSlQeraDIy MS
circle of acquaintances, have stocked
up on the general political situation
and its possibilities, and be ready for
an initiative in his own behalf, if he
cares to undertake one, or with advice
in somebody else's behalf.
1t was in this very way that Mr..
Bryan made himself so great and re-
sourceful a power in his party. AS a
lecturer filing engagements he went
from place to place." and "conversed
with men in every station Of life" and
kept thoroughly abreast of the political
times. He secured for himself three
nominations for the presidency, die.
tated that of Woodrow Wilson in 1912,
and was able to foresee the defeat of
Judge Parker in 1904, and of Gov. Cox
in 1920. when he was out of sympathy
with his party's action.
The chautauqua field possesses for
the observing politician other return
than that of coin. 1t affords him op.
portunity to study the game in which
he has a stake to greater advantage
than he would otherwise enjoy.

Recent social entertainment has
been source of complaint because of
efforts to discriminate not only as tc
rank and precedence, but in the quail
ity of food served to different classes
of guests. Food is, of course, ex
pensiye at the present day, but il
might perhaps be desirable to refrain
from economies of so 6stentatious a
nature. The practice is, moreover, un
reasonable, for the humblest citizen is
frequently blessed with the most lib

Two Men From Texas,

Col. House and former Postmaster
General Burleson are in Europe. Will
they meet on their travels? And If they
do will home politics enter into the
conversation?
The two men have been friendly,
and. so far as the public is advised,
still are. Both have stood very close
to Woodrow Wilson. MIR. Burleson
still stands close to him. Col. House,
for reasons only guessed at-he has
said nothing openly on the subject
has drifted away. He and Mr.. Wilson
have not met since their separation in
Paris, now nearly two years ago.
The two men have been mentioned
in connection with the Texas sena
torial contest which takes place next
year. The suggestion as to Col. House
is not persuasive. He has never cared
for Office holding. Why should he care
for Office now-even so high an Office
as United States senatorship? He
has worldwide fame. He has large
means. He enjoys life. and comes and
goes at his pleasure. Why should he
put on the shackles Of office and bend
under the burden Of routine?
1t is different with Mr.. Burleson
He has often sought and obtained Of
flee. He likes its shackles, and while
wearing them shakes them with pride
He is out Of commission now for the
first time in many years. Is his free
dom agreeable to him? Few who know
him think 80. Nearly all OF them
indeed, expect to see him try for place
again. And why not for the Texas
senatorship?
AS a member Of the Senate Mr.
Burleson would have opportunity tc
reply to the criticism that pursued
him while he was a member Of the
Wilson cabinet. 1t was both indus
trious and tart. 1t never loafed on
the job, nor fell asleep at the switch
But. with all of it's industry and tart
ness. it did not succeed in driving him
out Of his place.

DIGEST OF FOREIGN PRESS
How Horthy Became Admiral.

The Figaro gives an amusing inter
view with Admiral Horthy. regent OF
Hungary, who recently refused te
yield hi. throne to Charles of Haps-
burg:
Tall and vigorous. with regular
features, clean-shaven, with a good
color and a frank and energetic face
the admiral looks much less like a
Magyar than like an officer of the
British navy. He is man of about
forty-fve, whose whole life almost
has been spent in Vienna in the sur
roundings of the emperor. but this
did not prevent this courtier from

war. l remember him telling me. in

BY SHELDON 8. CLINE.

pushing their program for
the cooperative marketing
of their products there is in
creasingly apparent danger
that the national organizations Of
farmers may unnecessarily handi-
cap themselves by seeking and
demanding too much. With the
proposition that the farmer should
get a larger proportion Of what
the consumer pays there is gen.
eral public sympathy. but if the
farmer sets out to get all the
traffic will bear" regardless of
methods or the rights Of others,
this sympathy will be changed into
a public hostility that can result
only in disaster to the agricul-
tural interests.
Since the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the Duplex case,
outlawed the secondary boycott.
and thereby brought all the ex-
emptions Of the Clayton act into
question. the farmers have launch
ed a nationwide propaganda to
have Congress specifically absolve
cooperative marketing asso-
Citations from the restrictions OF
the Sherman antitrust law. This
propaganda is beginning to show
results in steadily increasing
pressure upon members of Con-
gress.
X
The general public welcomes the
proposal of farmers to market
their products collectively, hoping
and believing that such a system
would simplify and lessen the
costs of distribution-to the bene-
fit of the consumer as well as of
the producer. But If cooperative
marketing is to justify itself as
an economic factor in the national
life, it must do so in unfavored
competition with other systems of
distribution. Success as the re-
suit Of special privilege would not
be a test Of efficiency and Would
hold no promises of general good.
When the farmers ask that they
be exempt from the provisions of
the Sherman act they are asking
just one thing. no matter how
camoufaged their request may be.
What they ask is that it shall be
specifically stated in the statues
of the United States that it shall
not be unlawful for members of
farmers cooperative marketing
associations to conspire in the re-
straint of trade.
Against such a proposition every
man who is not a farmer must, in
self-defense, take up arms. If CO.
operative marketing cannot sue
coed without such exemption from
restraint. then cooperative mar
keting Is not economically de-
sirable.
For a number Of years co-opera-
tive marketing associations have
been making rapid headway. until
today their total membership
numbers into the millions. But
as yet none Of these associations
has attained a size to give 1t a
monopoly in controlling any par
t!cular line of products. They
have benefited the producers by
abolishing abuses and reducing
the costs Of distribution, but they
have sold in competition with 9TH
er associations and with independ-
ent producers. and prices to the
consumers have not been unduly
enhanced by them. The law of
supply and demand has been per-
mitted to operate and there is no
evidence Of any serious conspiracy
in restraint Of trade.
But it will be regarded as some-
thing more than a coincidence that
agitation for specific exemption
from the Sherman law comes at a
time when organization of the
greatest cooperative marketing
association Of them all Is under

Gle Sam, in the person of Herbert
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, and
Congress, ready to pass whatever leg
islation may be found necessary, are
now studying and visioning what
must be done to afford proper pro-
lection to American interests against
foreign competition in the worlds
trade.
Secretary Hoover. after receiving
direct reports from the principal for
eign markets and after conference
with manufacturers and exporters,
has frankly admitted to the organ
lied business men Of this country that
we are at disadvantage against
European manufacturers and export
ers in our foreign marketing machin-
cry and our lack Of foothold in in
dustry abroad. Except in few indus
tries we do not have an adequate
representation of native Americans in
wholesale business and in genera
business enterprises in foreign coun-
tric.
The selling Of f. o. b. goods in boom
times is easy. he admits. but he calls
that "ephemeral." 1t leads to goods
badly adapted to foreign markets. to
bad credits. to our being put in the
discard by business houses OF com
peting nationalities the moment they
can draw from their home market.
thus summarily disarranging mer-
chant marine schedules.
The present American system for
marketing goods abroad is likened
by him to supply
A Military train and a general
staff. with no fighting
MetaPhoI. men on the front. Our
naturally we lose the markets when
the clash of competition comes.
In addition to distribution, one of
the strongest foundations Of foreign
trade is our own citizens engaged in
foreign industry. Their enterprises
constitute a constant pull OF Inachin-
cry and supplies. 1t Is useless for the
government to say to Americans:
Exile yourselves; get into business.
distribution and industry; protect our
foreign trade"
In the Webb-Pomerene law the
United States government has tried
a short cut to the establishment Of
distribution agencies by arranging
that the risk which individuals would
hesitate to take can be spread over
a number Of manufacturers. Con-
gress Is now being advised and Is
giving serious consideration to fur
ther laws because it seems that those
already on the books are inadequate
to stimulate, protect and give equality
