AMERICA May JOIN
ALLIES IN DISCUSSION .
PREPARATION QUESTION

WASHINGTON, May Sir Auck-
land Geddes British ambassador,
carried to the state department today
the formal invitation to the United
States from the allied powers to be
represented on the supreme council,
the reparations commission, and the
council of ambassadors. The invita-
ton was cabled from London last
night.
Comment as to the course the adj
ministration would take, was withheld
pending study of the invitation.
There were limitations today in
some official quarters. however, tina:
acceptance by the allied governments
of the principle regarding mandate
recently enunciated by Secretary
Hughes. might be made the condition
of unreserved participation by the
United States in the deliberations
abroad, which it is asked to join.
This intimation carried with it, how
ever, the inference that the United
States may express lis willingness to
assume part in the settlement of the
reparations problem. The adjustment
of the economic situation is regarded
as one in which the United States has
so great an interest that the American
government would be justified in &C
cepting the invitation to participate in
its consideration.
The assurance by France that she
| would lose no time in bringing the
zap problem before the supreme coun-
Gil and the expression by Italy of her
approval of the American position ha-
caused the United States to expect
early consideration.
| Failure of the allies to take up the
question at this time, however, has
not been construed by the United
i States government, as an indication
that it is to be indefinitely set
aside.

COWS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT

Just about at this season, when the
landscape takes on the hue that sug-
gests Autumn only a few weeks down
the road, and the pastures have be-
come less succulent than in June,
there is added to the manifold wor-
ries of the patient householder the
haunting dread of the night bloom
ing bovine.
1t is not enough that the country
has not yet been administered back
to that promised normally. Not
enough that war taxes, gasoline and
sundry appetites continue to put a
bulge in the expense account like a
large watermelon in a small colored
consumer, or that the persistent coll
lector continues to suggest 'a check
by return mail" In addition the
bowed down denizen of Main street
must awake with a start in the small
hours of the silent summer night and
realize that his beloved kitchen gar
den, for which he gave up a share
of his life blood while he hoed and
weeded and watered, and the mos
quitoes fed, in the gloriously tinted
twilight or the bejeweled dawn, may
lie in the path of the COWS that pass
and pasture in the night.

THE GRAIN TRADING BILL

The Capper-Tincher grain trading
control bill passed the senate in rec
ord time last Tuesday. 1t took less
than two hours, most of which was
devoted to a speech by Senator Cap
per, republican, Kansas, and now
goes to conference.
As it passed the house, the bill
imposed a prohobitive tax upon puts
and calls and other speculative trans
actions and also upon exchanges
which do not become contract mar
kets" under government supervision.
1t also admitted cooperative asso-
Citations to membership on exchanges.
The records which members and
exchanges must make of all trans
actions to be available to the secre-
tary of agriculture to suspend men,
bers under certain conditions, pro-
vide for government publicity of in
vestigations conducted and business
transacted, permit cooperative asso-
Citations to rebate commissions and
release sales of cash grain for defer
red shipment from the operation of
the act.
Asserting that gambling consti-
tutes a great part of all business
transacted on grain exchanges" SEN
ator Capper urged passage of the
bill. He demanded that producers of
food, "the victims of speculation"
be protected from arbitrary interfer-
ence by grain exchanges with the
economic law of supply and demand.
During the last year, prices of
wheat and corn, he told the senate
have been determined by the sale on
exchanges of fabulous quantities
which eve existed.
An orgy of gambling operations
last spring drove prices in a short
time below the cost of production,
Senator Capper asserted. He refer
red to a great 'bear'' raid by trad
ers on the Chicago Board of Trade
begun in June last year.
