The Tomahawk., 1921-07-07

WASHINGTON, D. C. 49, A joint
commission of five senators and five
house members has been formed to
study the agricultural situation with
respect to possible legislation.
Hearings will be held in different
parts of the country, and the report is
expected to be ready within 80 days:
The following points will be covered
in the commissions investigation:
1. Causes of the present condition
in agriculture.
2. Causes of differences between the
prices paid the producer and the prices
paid by the ultimate consumer.
3. Comparative condition of indus
tries other than agriculture.
4. Relation of prices of other COM
modities to the prices of farm prod
ucts.
5. Banking and, financial resources
and credits of the country affecting
agriculture.
Senator Lenroot, conservative, from
Wisconsin, is to head the commission
Hence even if a progressive like Sen
ator Ladd or Norris or La Toilette
is added to it, there is little doubt as
to what the result will be.
The great purpose of machine poll
ticians at the present time is to quiet
the farmers and keep them as good
old party men. If anything is done
of worth for the farmers it will be just
enough for talking points and not
enough to meet any serious problem.
Our best hope lies in getting a good
minority report from one or two indie
pendents on the commission.

THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE

An imperial conference is in session
in London, that is, a conference OF the
pren1iers of the several dominions in
the British empire. This conference,
so far as the writer knows, has no
power to influence British policy, and
the statements given out are framed
to mold public opinion. In the domin--
ions the conference is played up to
create the impression that the domin-
ions are taken into imperial confidence
and have a great deal to say about the
courses Of action.
The following, taken from a speech
by Premier Lloyd George at the pres
ent conference, shows how statesmen
can talk for effect:
"He referred in glowing terms to
the gallant achievements Of India and
cited these as proof of the solidarity
of the empire, which, he added, is
based not on force, but on good will
and common understanding"
IF there is any obvious thing in the
political world, besides two times two
are four, that thing is that India is
held subject to British exploitation
lust as Egypt and Ireland are held by
military force. The union would be
based on good will and common under
standing if it were possible for .
dominion to leave the empire without
the devastation now being visited
upon Ireland.

THE SHIP MYSTERY

The disappearance of nine small
ships off our southern coast has given
the newspaper plot makers their
greatest opportunity since wagon
load of carelessly and illegally han
died dynamite exploded in Wall street
a year ago.
First they came out with pirates as
the explanation, and since Bolsheviks
are the worst people in the world the
tame pirate theory gave way to head
lines of "Bolshevik Pirate Plot I'm
covered" A number of government
departments appear to be willing to
feed the newspapers with enough
vague suggestions to enable the plot
makers to trace the missing ships d.
rectly to North Russian ports.
It would be like other plots OF
similar nature, important if true. 1t
would indeed be remarkable that a ma
ton using every effort to restore trade
and friendly relations with us would
be engaging in pirate expeditions
against US.
On the other hand, there is strong
reason for believing that the decline
in ocean freight business has left the
insurance on little freighters worth
more than the ships themselves. Our
guess is that the marine insurance
companies will make more careful in
vestigations than do the Bolshevik
hunting newspapers before the lnsur-
snce money is paid.

PLANES VS.. SHIPS

A direct hit by a 163-pound bomb
from an airplane sent the U-l17, a
former German submarine, to the bot
tom of the ocean in the trial tests on
June 81.
Sixteen minutes after the attack be-
gan the submarine was out of sight,
In the first attack three bombs were
used, all of which landed near the
boat. Nine bombs, three from each
plane, were launched in the second at
tack, which did the work. The air
planes kept at height of 1000 feet
above the object Of attack.
The exhibition was designed to
prove the assertion of air experts that
the great battleship is a thing OF the
past. More experiments will probably
be made. One of the uncertainties
still to be studied is what would be the
result if the hostile ship were equipped
with anti-aircraft guns and other pro-
tective devices.
Certainly in such case the air
planes could not have come within
1900 feet.
The Tomahawk., 1921-07-07

600. and when the armistice was
signed one year and eight months
after our entry into the war, no
United States airplane had reached
the front. The war department. spent
81, 191 600, 900 on guns and only 155
guns had reached the front and were
in use when the fighting ended.
For total of $4,000 horses and
mules, dollar-a-year men in the war
department ordered $4,000 saddles
and over a million sets Of double har-
ness and 1,637,197 horse brushes
four brushes for each animal. Nose
bags ordered totaled 100000 and
halters 2,85O,OOO. In September, when
, the war was practically over, con-
tract was made with Henry Moss q
Co. of New York for 10000 brand
ing irons to be made Of copper.
Think of the vast perversion of Ia
Dor and capital which such activities
caused. Thousands Of meq employed
in building railroads and roads Tor
lumber corporations instead of get
ting out spruce for airplanes. Hun
dreds of thousands in other unneces-
sary construction and factory opera
tons. Then after the war came the
looting of this construction and these
supplies by the same interests.
If the full story of the dollar-a-year
men is ever written we shall know
how 10000 new millionaires were
made during the war.
