Preliminary Conferences.

TINE London Outlook OF August contains
i article entitled "Hands off conference" in
which John L. Baderston sets forth what he
ceives be the why the American govern
ment has declined the British proposals for prelmi-
nary conferences and why it has shown enthusi-
asm for the suggestion that Mr.. Lloyd George visit
the United States before the conference meets. Mr..
Baldcrston obviously believes that preliminary
versatons necessary if the objects of the confer
ence are to be achieved but he recognizes that
State Department has excellent reasons for the policy
which it is following He thinks it unfortunate, how
ever, that these not made known in
England in order that there might be misunder-
starding to Americas reasons for not accepting
the British proposals.
Briefly the which Mr.. Baderston at
tributes to the State Department are: In the first
place. since the conference is to discuss disarmament.
such powers as France Italy and Japan might we'll
feel jealous il preliminary discussions were held with
the British commonwealth to which they not
invited. In the second place, this writer believes
that there is in the minds OF American statesmen
somewhat ncbuous conception of substitute for the
league OF nations, and, since of the opposition
to the league is based on the belief that it is
alton OF Great Britain, the proposed preliminary con-
ference would suspicion against any assoca-
ton OF nations which the American government
might sponsor. Regarding the proposal that the
prime minister visit America, Mr.. Balderston says:
"And the suggested visit of Mr. Lloyd George,
II was strongly felt could not be made at this time
without futtcring diplomatic dovecotes in Tokyo. be-
side the Seine, and all the world. Were the
British premier, accompanied by experts, to visit
Washington NJ BRAND might not mprobaby take
the boat in any case, France, Japan Italy, and
dozen other nations would want to know what was
going on, and the only way to keep them informed
would be invite their representatives to be present.
The alternative, private negotiation at this time
between the British and American heads of states,
could not in the American point of view but injure
the feelings and arouse the prejudces of other ma
tions who desire feel that their relations with the
Unitd States are close those between America
and Great Britain"
The moral Of this article is this Even If Britain
feels that the Washington conferences bound to
fail without preliminary and somewhat exclusive con-
ferenccs let her nevertheless realize that the latter
are impossible and cease any tnah6,ivtes aiming to
bring them to pass. However good the reasons for

assurances which had previously been received
had already insured the participation Of the
nations to whom the invitations were sent
The formal replies. however. afford the diplo-
mats an opportunity to express again the
admirable and exalted sentiments which, in
accordance with diplomatic tradition, are all
ways the inspiration of a nations policies.
There is, of course, good reason for the State
Department to feel satisfaction as the ac-
ceptances are received, and especially in the
case OF Japan since the note of the Japanese
foreign minister expressed the same cordially
and desire for hearty cooperation that has
characterized the replies of the other nations.
The Japanese note refers to the matter of
fixing the agenda of the conference which is,
to deal with Far Eastern questions and makes
clear that it still maintains the position that
certain matters are the exclusive concern OF
Japan and must be regarded as accomplished
facts The questions which the Japanese gov,
ernment will endeavor to have excluded from
consideration by the conference will be re-

time and under any other conditions his visit would
be welcomed with acclaim. Whether skeptcal or not
Britain should realize that this conference which
Washington desires to assemble Armistice Day is
Americas pet scheme with which she desires no in
reference; not until it has been tried and failed will
the administration be willing to listen to other, per-
haps wiser, counses."

they will not think so long. The blunder Is
the beginning of nearly all present troubles. The
nineteenth century was the very reverse of normal
1t suffered most unnatural strain in the combna-
ton of political equality in theory with extreme
nomic inequality in practice. Capitalism was not

and is normal in proportion it is universal.
Slavery may be normal and natural, in the
that bad habit may be second nature But
capitalism anything SO human as habit;
may say it never anything so good as bad
habit. 1t was custom; for men never grew
accustomed to it. 1t was conservative;
for before it even created wise men had realized
that it could not be conserved 1t was from the
first problem; and those who will not even admit
the capitalist problem deserve to get the Bolshevst
solution. All things considered, ! cannot say any
thing worse of them than that"

The question of general election in Canada
which has been advocated intermttentiy during the
last few months by the opposition press became the
topic of lively discussion in political circles in Ottawa
last week. New impetus added to the discussion
by the fact that of the strongest supporters OF
the government have come to the conclusion that
Premier Meighen and his. associates have better
chances of il election is held Immediately
rather than after another session of Parliament.
Strong pressure is being brought to bring about an
immediate dissolution Of Parliament, but the present
attitude of government leaders is that the coming
session will be brief and will be concerned only with
the passing of the budget and the redistribution bill.
In this program is adhered to by the government
there undoubtedly will be elections until next

DEPARTMENT INVESTI-
eating SEED LOANS

The Department of Agriculture an
LOUNGES that its representatives are
investigating alleged irregularities in
connection with seed loans which were
made in Montana and North Dakota
last spring from the $2,O00,O00 fund
appropriated by Congress for that
purpose. The act authorizing the
loans provides penalties for convic-
ton of misrepresentation in making
application for them, and reports
have reached the department that
misrepresentation were made in GER
tain cases. It has also been report
ed that some seed loan borrowers
have failed to protect their crops
properly, or have pastured stock on
them to the detriment of the interests
of the Government. If the depart
ment's investigators find that the
facts justify such action, the cases
will be teurned over to the Depart
ment Of Justice for prosecution.

NOT PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL

Following the Inauguration of the
Democratic administration in 1913
and the enactment of a Democratic
tariff law, there was a period of de-
cline in industry due largely to the
fact that the United States was in
creasing it's imports and decreasing
its exports to American labor. There
were long lines of unemployed get
ting free food from bread wagons
and soup carts. President Wilson's
explanation of the depression was
that it was purely psychological.
There were 5,O00,O 900 men out of en-
ployment.
1t is said that there are four mil
lion men out of employment now, but
the Republicans make no claim that
it is purely psychological condition.
We admit that the present condition
is due to a number of very definite
causes, chiefly reaction from war
conditions, but a~ccentuated by the
waste and extravaganza, the defla-
ton policy adopted by the Democratic
Federal Reserve Board, the scramb-
ling of the railroads by the McAdoo
management, and the paternalistic
policies pursued by the Democrats
during all their eight years of rule.
The present condition is not purely
psychological, and neither was the de-
preston that followed the adoption
of a free trade policy in 1918. There
was a very real cause for the de-
preston that afflicted the country
during the first two year of the Will
son administration-and relief came
only when the war furnished this
country with unprecedented markets
at unprecedented prices, with no COM
petition from abroad. The Demo-
cratic administration was not re-
quired to do anything to get the ma

POLITICS AND BUSINESS
DON'T MIX

After reading the record of rail-
road management under government
control and the history of our war
time government ship building and
ship operating undertakings, one is
forced to the conclusion that political
management made a dismal failure
of industrial operation.
From administrative, judicial, and
executive functions our government
has gradually drifted toward pattern
alistic ideas which require a govern
mental finger in every mans bust
ness.
AS a result we no longer have a
country which can be called free to
individual initiative and enterprise.
If anyone doubts this let him try to
start some business on a large scale.
Summing the whole situation up,

regulation and restraint accomplished
for the American people? Business
and politics apparently connot be mix
ed when efficient management in a
business way must be secured. Poll
tics does and must always think
first, not of how it will look in a
balance sheet but how it will look
in a campaign poster.
The time has arrived for plain
talking and business action in this
nation, Our governments, both state
and national, should get out of bust
ess and stay out of business instead
of competing with private citizens at
their expense. Government activity
should be confined to administering,
judging and executing laws based on
safe, sound and broad policies for
the protection and benefit of all its
citizens.
On the business side government
has always proved a failure because

DO YOUR OWN THRESHING

The crop this year has proved to
be an unusually good me-, and with
prices and cost conditions as at pres
ent, the expense of threshing is some
thing that comes up for serious cor
sideration.
If the conclusions of some scien-
fists are correct, there will now be a
cycle of productive years, for this
part of the world, and the farmer
should be prepared to meet this ques-
ton for himself, before the next
threshing season. 1t is a matter to
which the farm bureau should and
probably will give due attention be-
fore next harvest.
In older states the cost of thresh-
ing has been reduced to a minimum
by the cooperative ownership off,
machines. The farmers of Valley
county as a rule were not able this
year to finance the purchase of a
threshing outfit; the crops will rem
der them all better off as to credit
at least, and by organizing in differ
ent neighborhoods the financial end
of securing the necessary equipment,
can be taken care of in due time for
next harvest
This is a matter of organizations.
especially within the province of the
Bureau, Each community should
have one or more outfits, manned by
the farmers themselves, who Fan thus
do their own t~hreshing, for cost.
At best the professional thresher
is an expensive luxury; the character
of his work, the size of his invest
ment, his comparatively great over
head expense, all contribute to make
his charges more, than the one mar
who is farming on a limited scale and
with smar capital, can pay with
profit to himself. This manner of
threshing- is the necessary-some
times the only-way in newly settled
countries. AS farming develops, and
the farmers become organized, he
passes on, and Valley county has
reached that stage where this large
unnecessary expense should be elm
mated.

gion who came to France to attend
the dedication of the French monu-
ment to the American expeditionary
forces with much the same spirit as
that with which they received the
poilus when they returned from the

the reception given them when they
landed earlier in the day from the
steamship George Washington at
Cherbourg.

Insurance Business Grows.
Helena, Aug. Reinsurance bust
ness in general throughout Montana
showed a marked increase during the
year of 1920 as is shown by the
annual report of the insurance de-

Deadlock On Irish Question.
London, Aug. 14.-Correspondence
between Premier Lloyd George and
and De Valera, Irish Republican lead
er, made public by the British govern
ment today, shows that while there is
a deadlock on the situation of indie
pendence for Ireland negotiations still
are open.
Great Britain has offered Ireland
complete autonomy in finance and
taxation, military forces for home de-
Tense, her own police, and, among
other things, control of the Irish post
al service.
In reply to Lloyd George, De Valera
argued for complete independence
and offered to submit the Ulster
questions to arbitration.
In his final letter, Llyod George
denied Ireland's right to secession,
refused foreign arbitration for Irish
questions and expressed the hope that
Ireland would accept the British
terms, which, he declared, were the
best that could be offered.
Turkeys Feed Without Cost.
Havre, Aug. 15.-John Kearful,
farmer, living 10 miles southeast of

grasshoppers from destroying his
crops.
He has employed the services of
100 turkeys on his place and besides
destroying the hoppers the turkeys
will net a reasonable profit this fall.
Priest Was Murdered.
San Francisco Aug. ia fog that

tie party of six in the midnight bleak
ness of the beach 20 miles south of
here last night, and the spluttering
lanternlight revealed the bullet rid
died body of a priest in a shallow
sand grave to which the police and
newspapermen had been led by Will
lam A. Hightower, a baker.
Hightower guided them there as
one, who from deductions of the clews
furnished him by a woman of night
life, had solved the mystery of the
disappearance of the Rev. Patrick E.
Heslin, a Catholic priest of Colma,
near here.
Within u hours of the tragic de-
nouncement, Hightower faced accusa-
lions from officers that he led to the
scene, that he himself, had slain the
priest.

land with water necessary for its sub
lection and cultivation, not to furnish
eternal jobs for a corps of engineers,
and to delay and hinder the people
who want to develop and cultivate the

is no inducement for men to buy new
land on the project, with the idea of

Hope for Better Prices.
Washington Aug 12.-Strong hope
for better prices in the agricultural
markets is justified by reductions in
the railroad rates on grain for eX-
port, already in effect and proposed,
according to a statement issued at
the White House tonight.
Recent reductions in the export
rate on grain between Chicago and
New York, the statement said, will
be followed by sweeping revisions of
grain rates generally, including those
from Mississippi river points and on
the lines to the gulf, in order that the
entire agricultural interest may share
fully in the benefits.

riding as he drove his team to the
barn and shaved all the hair off the
right side of his head as clean as
a razor would have done but left the
hair on the left side untouched. The
flesh was only slightly burned. Mr..
O'Donnell was stunned but recorded
consciousness and hurried to the
house where his injuries were attend
ed to.

roses had been arranged by Mrs.
Caruso. According to estimates in the
newspapers, Caruso left a fortune of
