Mr.. WILSON BREAKS
H|SL0NC SILENCE
Asks in Memorial Day Letter
if Wars Objects Have
Been Accomplished.

Woodrow Wilson broke today the
silence he has maintained since he re-
tired from the White House on
March 4.
In a Memorial day letter to the
which was published today in that
soldier periodical. he declared that the
American people shall not be able
to enjoy the full pride of the days
recollections until we have made sure
that the duties that grew out of the
war have been fulfilled to the utmost.
Are we sure?" he asked. IF we
are not. shall we not soon take steps
to do whatever has been omitted?
Full Text OF Letter.
The full text Of the former Presi-
dents letter follows:
Memorial day has always been one
of our most solemn and thoughtful
anniversaries when We recalled great
memories and dedicated ourselves
again to the maintenance and purifi-
cation of the nation, but this year
1t has an added and tremendous sig
nificance. because the memories and
sacrifices of the great world war are
now among the most stimulating of
the recollections of the day:
we celebrate the immortal achieve
ments of the men who died in France
on the field and in the trenches. far
away from home. in order that both
our own people and the peoples
across the seas might be delivered
from the ugliest peril of all history.
Urges War Reflection.
ut is our privilege not only to in
dulge a high and solemn pride and
grief for the heroes of that great
struggle, but also to rededicate our
selves to the achievements of the
great objects for which that war was
fought. We shall not be happy, we
shall not be able to enjoy the full
pride of the days, recollections until
~e-have made sure that the duties
that grew out of the war have been
fulfilled to the utmost.
Are we sure? If we are not. shall
we; not soon take steps to do what
over has been omitted?
Cordially yours.

High Cost of Coal
In France One Cause
OF Unemployment
French Manufacturers Find
1t Impossible to Com
pete With German, Brit
ish and American Rivals

LONDON, March 15.-The Paris cor
respondent of The London Daily Tele-
graph reports that the unemployment
crisis in France has reached an acute
stage, and appeals are being made to
the Ministry Of Commerce for action
Employers are trying not to discharge
employees, but to put them on short
time.
DEAFNESS of coal is cited as one of
the main causes of unemployment. max
ing it impossible for French manu-
facturers to compete with their Ger
man, British, Belgian and American
rivals. According to the figures given
in the Chamber, the French manufac-
turer pays 230 francs a ton for his
coal, the German 25 francs, the Brit
ish 101 francs, the Belgian 106 francs
and the American 46 francs. A remedy
suggested is reduction of manufac~
tured imports. The jute industry is
put on two days week, and threatens
to disappear.
Sixty per cent of the workers in the
tanning and glove trades at Grenoble
and Milhau are out Of work, the rea-
son given being that the British and
Americans who were French customers
are buying in Germany, because the
rate of exchange is more favorable
there AS to the chalk and cement
trades, nearly all the workshops in the
Cher are closed, while in the Boulogne
district production has been reduced to
25 per cent.
The cost of labor is a contributcry
factor in the unemployment crisis.
Belgian wages are 80 per cent lower
than French, and it is conceded from
this fact that Belgium is flooding
France with her products. While in
Germany wages have increased from
1 to 8, in France they have auadrupled.
The mark, however, lost four-tifths of
its value, so that the cost OF German
labor is put at one-half that of French.
At Troyes so per cent of the trades
are at standstill. German stockings
are shown in the shops, packed in

Plans Farm Exhibit
Prague Fair Wants Z. 5. Ma
chins,vy Shown

Eaor.s are being put forth by the
management Of the Prague Spring
Sample Fair, to be held from Fsbrgary
q to March 8, 1921, to display a model
of an American farm in a separate
concession. if this plan can be justified
BY the applications srcn american ex-
hibiicrs. Es.s added advantage, II ~
pointed out, would be to give American
visitors ''home building" where they
could concentrate.
Vladimir A. Geringer, DEPART
ment of Commerce representative st
Prague, received letter from the FAIR
management on November 20. 1920, sd-
vocating the American exhibit. Similar
invitations were sent to Rumaria,
Greece and Bulgaria. Each will be
allotted national building for exbles-
ton purposes.
"The pavilion of the United Statse
would represent an American farm, !"
the letter says. Agricultural impis-
ments and appliances among other ex-
hibits would be featured.
Although there. were 2,io0 exhibitors
of diverse nationality at the Fall SAM
pie Fair at Prague, September 1928,
1920, none of these was American. Con-
siderable interest therefore attaches te
pioneering by American exhibitors at
the coming fair in the capital Of
Czecko-S Slovskia.

CHICAGO, March 2p.-- The principal
feature in the wheat market to-day was
the placing OF Greek order for
100000 bushels which had been pend
ing for about week. This order was
worked through several leading export
houses, and early in the day exerted
more or less influence on values.
There was also good deal Of covering

market displayed considerable frmness un-

Queensland's Sugar Crop

According to the Queensland Agri-
cultural journal. the estimate Of the
1920 sugar crop is about 1855, 900 tors
of cane. which should produce about
100000 tons of raw sugar. With the
New South Wales production added,
there will be a shortage Of At lsast
100000 tons of sugar. which will have
TO be made up by importstions. In
1919 the production amounted to 1872
136 tons of raw sugar from 1,z5e,760
tons of cane. The outlook for 1924 fs
very promising, due to the better price
row offering and the large ayeas Of
land which have been prepared foy

Crop Outlook

marked increase in the New Zealand
acreage seeded to wheat and other
grains this season and that the ap-
pie crop will furnish at least 100000
crates Of apples for export this year.
1t is expected that the wheat returns
will be sufficient to supply the de-
mands along that line for the coming
year. During the last two years New
Zealand has imported from Australia
about 100000 bushels per annum.
