Separate Ireland Impossible.

Prime Minister Lloyd George said
in a recent speech at Barnsley, Eng

eve could no more countenance the
tearing to pieces Of the United King
dom than America could countenance
the tearing apart of the United States.
For Gods sake," he said passion
ately, "let US sweep aside prejudices.
/ have never seen man with a VEN
delta that I would trust with any job.
Hatred is a sour pasture, there is no
strength in it, no nourishment, nothing
but disappointment. Let US sweep
prejudice to one side, for no nation
can flourish in swamp of hatred. I
am proud that Great Britain has
arisen above all prejudices and pro-
posed terms such as have never been
proposed before. They are terms
which commend themselves, not only
to Great Britain, but to the whole
civilized world. 1 trust that common
sense will prevail.
"It is difficult at this juncture to
say anything that would be of use
Whatever be our views, we cannot
countenance separation. Severance
would in Ireland itself lead to war
We cannot witness a civil war at. oul
own doorstep. If southern Ireland is
not satisfied with freedom, but insists
on separation, then l fear that al
hope of accommodating must be aban
doned. I trust that common sense will
prevail and that good counsels will be
needed. We only want to do what i:
fair and just.
eff Ireland has the right to separa

ern Minnesota only corn that natures
there is suitable for seed. The central
zone has somewhat longer season
and can grow larger corn than the
north and, in an emergency, can use
seed from outside states. Southern
Minnesota can grow corn almost as
large as corn raised in Iowa and Me-
braska. However, it has been the
experience Of farmers in all three
zones of the state that home grown
and adapted varieties Of seed corn give
far better results than can be obtained
from imported seed. The movement
for seed selection in corn producing
districts should become general by
seed corn time, September 5-15, as
recommended by staff men Of the di-
vision of agricultural extension and
the state experiment station.

Growth of German Trade.

In recent weeks many experienced
travellers on their return to this coun-
try from abroad have expressed the
opinion that Germany will be the first
of the European nations to recover
from the commercial depression which
has enveloped the world as an after
math of the war. Various reasons are
advanced in support Of this theory,
such as the scientific and practical
trend Of the German mind and the
naturally Industrious and economical
disposition Of the German workman
and his ability and willingness to la
Dor long hours for small pay. An
other principal cause lies, of course,
in the two salient facts that, with
no large army or navy to be manned
and maintained, the youth of the coun-
try have the opportunity to devote
their time to the processes Of indus
try and that the money that would
otherwise be applied to the upkeep Of
sailors and soldiers, of battleships
and naval stations, Of barracks and
training camps con now be profitably
devoted to the prosecution of manu-
features and the development of COM
mercc.
That there is a good deal Of force
in this contention is proved in many
ways. The other day The Post point
ed out the energetic efforts which the
Germans are making to capture the
trade of South America. They ere
equally busy in South Africa. In 1918,
when Germany stood third among the
exporting nations of the world, Great
Britain being first and the United
States second, German merchandise to
the value Of $16,562, 900 was sent to
South Africa and South African prod
ucts valued at $l0;562,000 went to
Germany. Naturally these figures
fell away to nothing during the war
but there was an incipient revival in
1919, when imports from Germany in
to South Africa were valued at $780,
488 and exports from South Africa tc
Germany totaled $1,401, 907. These
figures took great jump in 1920
when Germany sent to South Africa
goods to the amount of $4,312,O00 and
even under the cramping buying con-
ditions then prevailing, took from
South Africa merchandise which
reached the respectable total of $12,-
100000.
! To meet the demands of this grow
ing and promising trade and to foster
it along proper lines steamship SER
vice between Hamburg and Bremen
and South African ports was inaugu-
rated during the latter part of 1920
These vessels, operated on a regular
monthly schedule, carry passengers as
we'll as freight. About the same time
the German consul representation
consisting of a consul general, con,
sui and vice consul, was re-estab.
lished at Cape Town, whence it has
since moved to Pretoria.
It will thus be seen that Germany is
: leaving nothing undonc to regain its
South African trade and to place i
l. where it was before the war cataclysn
swept it out of existence.
In all this well-ordcred activity
there are various lessons, which h,
who runs may read and learn, ant
which United States manufacturer
t and exporters, as we'll as the Unitet
. States government, ought to hasten t,
