long jump and land right in the mid
die of the millennium.
At the present moment, it is a nine
to one probability that Mr.. Harding
and Mr.. Hughes will be able to keep
the conference right where they want
it kept. The conference is framed up
to be strictly Hard-boiled" and to
consider absolutely nothing except
what is on theagenda.
But the school that believes in Mr..
Wells, the school that regards Mr.
Wilson as literally a prophet and a
martyr, in the Biblical sense the
school that provided the idealism that
was back Of the League of Nations, is
still with US and is being warmed up
again.
There is lot of spiritual lightning
in the atmosphere, and it tends to come
together. If the right leadership
comes along, it is capable of doing
something very big There is lot OF
praying being directed at the confer
ence; and anybody who doubts that
prayer can accomplish things has al
lowed cynicism to blind his ordinary
powers of observation.
To say just what is the process
| through which prayer brings things
about would involve us in meta-phys-
ical and theological argument, but of
the central truth there can be no
doubt.
Nevertheless, the overwhelming
chances are that the statesmen who
have their grip on the conference will
be able to keep it where they want it
kept Mr.. Wells, in his interview the
other day, said he would remain at the
conference as long as he found it in

WHEAT LIQUIDATION
DEVOID OF SUPPORT
CAUSES Big SETBACK
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Nov. 5. = Collapse of
wheat prices to below 81 bushel has
resulted this week from persistent
liquidation on a market almost devoid
of support. Compared with a week
ago. wheat this morning showed set
back of 67s cents to 75s cents. Corn
was down 21s to "a, and oats off 2ss
to ~ @25s cents.
Net changes in provisions varied
from five cents decline to rise of 20
cents.
With Gulf Of Mexico railroad and
port facilities congested with grain for
which country owners were unable to
get their money readily and with Can
ada practically monopolizing new
business with Europe holders of do
nestle wheat seemed to have become
more bearish than has been the case
fer a long while. 1t was estimated
that United States hard winter grades
were to cents above working
basis for Europe as compared with
Canadian.
Besides, it was announced that Mil
lers at Buffalo and other eastern points
were acquiring wheat from Canada
and that the Canadian visible supply
| total had been heavily enlarged. On
the ensuing breaks, the market here
| fell to 90 cents bushel for December
| delivery. This was the lowest level
| reached in six years, and contrasted
with S1.0434, the average price of cash
wheat in Chicago for seven years prior
| to the world war. Rallies which fol-
| lowed from the 50 cents record were
ascribed chiefly to confidence inspired
| by victory bonds at par and to predic-
| lions of frost in Argentina.
NEW YORK, Nov 5.-All other
events of the week in the financial
markets were subordinated to the an
nouncement of rediscount rate reduc-
lions by practically every institution
embraced in the federal reserve sys.
tenn, accompanied by partial relaxa
ton of the Bank of England rate.
These significant developments met
with substantial responses in the bond
market. b exercised little influence

into one and compressed into a few
years. Not only does Mr.. Wells anti
cipate this vision of his as an ultimate
thing, he actually expects this COM
ing conference here in Washington
during this present month of Novem-
Der to go a long way toward achiev-
ing it.
Statement In Interview
In an interview he gave out the day
he arrived in America, he said, "if the
conference goes on, it is bound to de-
velop into some sort of world con-
troll not only of international politics,
but of financial and economic ques-
tions, that will be handled on a
world basis"
Now, if Mr.. Wells, is going to sit on
the doorstep of the conference room
and talk like this, imagine what Pres
ident Harding and the rest of the
American delegation will do. They
will unite in one wild yell of the ire
concilible senators slogan. They will
say, "superstate," and order the JAM
itor to bar the door and put machine
guns at every window
1t is just family within the posi-
bilities that Mr.. Wells may, in the
language of the day, start something"
There are a lot of folks in the United
States who have it in them to be
powerfully moved by the kind of things
Mr. Wells talks about Most of us in
America are potential crusaders. Mr..
Wells may start up again that flaming
emotion which enlisted fully seven
eighths of America behind the League
of Nations, when the idea of that in
stitution first burst upon the world,
!, and before Mr.. Wilson made his mis-
! takes, and before the irreconcilable
! senators got out their tomahawks and
went on the warpath.
Program is Definite.
! Of course, the things which Presi-
| dent Harding and Mr.. Hughes and all
! the others expect to do at the coming
conference have practically nothing in
common with the visions that Mr.
Wells paints. What Mr.. Harding and
Mr.. Hughes expect to do is at this
moment specifically and concretely
written down on a sheet of paper.
1t is called the 'agenda" and it in
cludes just two main things, namely
a reduction of ornaments and ar
agreement about certain far eastern
questions.
The public doesn't generally realize
how definitely and how practically un
changeably limited the official purpose
of the coming conference is.
What l have said in this article i!
not merely contrast between the
point of view of Mr.. Wells and that o
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hughes and tn,
other statesmen who compose the con
ference 1t is a contrast between tw,
schools of thought.
The school of Mr.. Harding and MI
Hughes wants to make just one shor
and extremely careful step toward tn
millennium, namely, the Limitation o
