Washing, Sensational
plans for the n inquest of CEN
trail Asia are atGI no. ed to Great Bri-
tain in reports, both private and lipo-
matte, which have reached Washing
ton.
Japanese circles are especially dis
turbed by the reports, which imply an
intended violation by Great Britain Of
the secret British-Japanese agreement
respecting the partition of Asia.
Winston Churchill, British minister
Of war, and Lord Miner are named as
chief instigators of the plan, and the
regions of Chinese Turkestan and Rus
sian Turkestan are given as the prizes
in view.
Alleged bolshevist disturbances in
India, starting next spring or sum-
mer, would provide the pretext for
British militrry adventure across the
western Himalayas into that part of
Russia lying east of the Caspian sea.
The rich Russian oil fields on the
west shore of the Caspian would be
conquered simultaneously by drive
northward from Persia and Mesopo-
tamia.
Because of the growing anti-mili-
tarist sentiment in the British Isles,
Australia is expected to furnish the
bulk of the white soldiers for this Ash
attic campaign.
From the New Zealand a complete
army corps of 10000 men, fully equip
ped with all modern devices, would be
drawn into the struggle, and secret
campaign to have such an army ready
is now proceeding in the island do
minion.
A considerable body of New Zealand
staff officers already is on active duty
in India, obtaining in advance the
training needed to guide the expedi-
tonary force from their native coun-
try.
In view of anticipated opposition
from the New Zealand population, the
islands wartime sedition law has
been amplifed, it is said, to permit of
an absolute dictatorship when the ex-
pected war in Asia is declared.
Cmplete disarmament of the civil
population is provided for in a new
law which strips the people even Of
small arms brought from Europe as
souvenirs of the war against Germany.
A prominent Australian general
who served in France is quoted as hav-
ing said in October: Australian
soldiers will be fighting in India with
in eighteen months"
Associated with this circumstantial
report is the rumor published in India
that Winston Churchill will shortly
be appointed viceroy of India. Church
hill is described as an extreme par
tisan of the view that the British EN-
pire will be either lost or preserved by
the vigor of its action in India during
the next few years.
1t is described as Churchhill's plan
to instigate or encourage prematurely
an already latent rebellion in the north
of India, to alarm the whole empire
with accounts of this threatened dis
solution, and then to launch the drive
over the Himalayas into Russia.
The reported massing of Russian
troops in the region Of the Caspian
sea is interpreted here to mean that
the Russian authorities either know
Of or suspect the alleged Churchhill
conspiracy.

The White House, state department
and treasury department have now
passed the buck to the minis and as
say offices. Russian gold may enter
the country" these statesmen say,
"but the minis won't accept it." How
ever, it would require several weeks
for Russian gold to reach New York,
and ten more weeks win bring new
administration to the minis and assay
offices.
Besides, this Russian gold can be
exported again from the United States.
And even France will be glad to act
as an international "fencen for the
tainted lucre, at a proper discount!
There are no illusions left about
this matter Of Russian trade so far as
the leaders in house and senate are
concerned. The president of 'fhuman-
ity" now in the White House may Sc
lect the French as his favorite chill
dren and declare that American bus
mess men shall not have a penny of
Russian gold until the French bond
holders have cut their pound Of flesh
from Russia. But the voice which

home.
This applies alike to Democrats and
Republicans. The Democratic steer
ing committee of the senate has adopt
ed as one of its planks that "there
should be complete and early re-
sumption Of trade between this coun-
try and Russia as one means Of re-
llieving the agricultural over-produc-
tion from which the American farm
ers are suffering"
Of course farm products are not
what Russia most needs from Ameri-
ca. But politicians usually pick upon
some sentimental pretext for yielding
to the pressure of corporation inter-
ests. 1t is the manufacturing export
ers who are insisting upon trade with
Russia, and it is true that a revival Of
manufacturing will benefit the mil
lion or more city workers who have
been thrown out Of employment re-
Gently,
It is to PROSTATE Russia" that
mighty America is turning for eco
nonaic salvation.

Cost Is S1.65 Per BushcI.

The average cost of producing
wheat on 40 farms in Sherman county
in 1920 was $L65 bushel, according
to report made by II. V. Gum, of
Q. "A. c., and c. c. Calkins. formerly
Sherman county agriculture agent.
who made the survey. As the yield
per acre and the acres per farm were
outstanding factors in influencing the
cost, It is estimated by Fred Bennion
county agent, that the cost In Una
tila would average less than $1.65.
This is estimated in view of the fact
that the Is farms on which the cost
was $1Gj per bushel had an average
of If bushels per acre while the %
farms below the average in cost had
an average yield of 20 bushels an acre.
Umatilla county, with its high pro-
duction, IS able to produce wheat at
less than $1.65 bushel, Mr. Bennion
believes.
