MAKING GOODWILL COUNT.

suffering peoples in all parts of the
world. There is every evidence of
general good will and sympa thy to-
ward such work as Herbert Hoover's
child-feeding in Europe, toward re-

starving millions There is one
thing lacking, however. in this
friendly attitude toward the people
or other nations.
There seems to be little apprecia
tion of tho need for similar good will
IN the national attitude toward for-
eign policies which would help to re-
store normal conditions abroad. There
is plenty of interest in measures for
foreign relief. but little enthusiasm

marketing plan in general, the Lin
coin State Journal brought out sew
eral good thoughts in part as follows:
"There is little probability that the
cooperative agencies of the farmers
will ever take over entirely the
marketing Of grain. They are likely
to make themselves q powerfully re-
gulative force in that business. But
private grain dealers, it is to be ex-
pected, will always be able to oper-
ate a shade more efficiently than the
cooperative, and on that margin of
advantage they will thrive in lively
competition with the co]-operatives.
Private business in many lines faces
the certainty Of cooperative compe-
tition. People see in this a method
Of insuring themselves against too
great exactions by private business
organizations, and enough co-opera-
tive undertaking to satisfy that veiw
we are sure to have. The enlighten-
ed representative of private business
welcomes the invader and prepares to
beat him by doing business more eff
ficienty than his new competitor. In
displaying that spirit toward Mr..
Thorne and his enterprises the Lin
coin business men displayed a game
ness which their Omaha neighbors
would have been wiser to Match

MEETING THE sUE

When the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce withdrew an invitation to
Clifford Thorne, general counsel for
the L. $. Grain Growers Inc, to
speak before its members last week,
it dcficd the right Of the farmers to
give attention to their economic prob
lens. IL refused to hear explained q
plan which would, according TO the
farmers who ag.G IL VIZ, eliminate
speculation in the handling OF the
farmers grain. TIE Lincoln Cham
Der Of Commerce on The other hand,
acted wisely and justly in asking Mr..
Thorne to appear before It's members
on Saturday Of this week.
No city in the United state is more
dependent upon agriculture than is
Omaha. Tho business of Omaha dur
ing a twelve months period. reaches
into tho millions Of dollars and much
Of this comes from the sale Of farm
products. Thousands Of acres Of fer
tile land in the Missouri valley fur
nish a steady flow Of salable food
stuffs with Omaha as the distributing
point.
What then are the farmers Of this
state to expect when the Chamber Of
Commerce, the business representa-
tive body of any city, refuses to give
them a hearing? 1t is folly to say the
least. We doubt if the invitation Of
Mr.. Thorne as withdrawn, expresses
the sentiment OF the business men of
Omaha as much as it does the senti-
ment of a small group of individuals
whose very welfare would be en-
dangerod if this plan or a similar one
dealing with livestock, should sue
coed.
1t may be, if we can take the ac-
ton of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce with weight, that those opposed
to the L. S. Grain Growers Inc, are
going to use every effort in keeping
the idea from receiving q hearing be-
fore the legitimate business interests
and the public in general. If this be-
the case, then they fear to meet the
farmer in open competition.
After all has been said and done
all the farmer contemplates doing is
to set up machinery in competition
with the one in existence. He wants
to market his own grain because he
sincerely believes that he can do il
more efficiently, and by so doing, elm
mate gambling on the open markets
But if he cannot do it more eflicientl!
than at the present time, then the L
S. Grain Growers Inc, will not sue,
coed. And the farmers will not want
it tt succeed for they are as DESTROYS
as the consuming public that theil
grain be sold by the shortest route
and with the least waste possible ant
delay.
The farmers do not expect to, no,
could they if they desired, form
monopoly for the selling of grain fol
an organization with such a basi'
principle could not long endure thu
eyes of the American people. All thu
farmer wants is a square deal.

part of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce and the idea of the new grain
