The nonpartisan leader., 1921-04-18
HOW. AN ANTI-FARMER
AGENT WAS "CONVERTED''

pa1gn Tor organization and cO-Opera-
tion for couple of years but there
was little interest while we were get
ting good prices. But last fall when
prices dropped far below cost of pro-
duction we thought the time was ripe
for action. We urged cooperation
with the Farm Bureau of neighbor-
ing county. The county agent of this
county was entirely for the business
men. He was the kind who breaches
about working harder, spending less,
saving more, building silos, getting
better cows and letting the dealers
alone.
In spite of the fact that the meeting
was held in their county, our forces,
led by our. own county agent, were
able to dominate, and at the last meet
ing our secretary, who had fought the
plan at the start, put in report that
could have been indorsed by any Non
partisan Lacquer and resulted in our
lnstructing the committee to prepare
plans for statewide selling organi-
zation which will virtually control the
sale of our crop.
Now if the progressives had held
.aloof from the Farm Bureau this coun-
ty agent probably would still have
preached the work-harder-and7sa save
more doctrine. We forced his hand. -,
Apparently it is very much up to
the farmers whether the Farm Bureau
will be Of any use to us-whether it
will help us or the business men.
Other states try to head off the
Nonpartisan league by enacting laws
similar to those of North Dakota. Why
shouldn't we use our heads little
too? Why not get control of the Farm
Bureaus and see that they are direct
ed along progressive lines? ,s:., s

NO MONEY FOR FITTING UP OF
 BUREAU SHIP

SEATTLE, Feb. 25 (by Associated Press).-W. P. Lopp, chief of the Alaska division of the bureau of edu- cation, has sent advices from Wash ington that the provision for refit- ting the ship Boxer for the use of the bureau in Alaska, has been stricken from the sundry civil bill.

He declared no plans had been made by the bu- reau to close the Wrangell native school and no change is contemplat. ed in the policies of the bureau rela- tive to native and white schools.

British Cabinet Invites the Irish
to Confer With 1t at
Inverness.
ULSTER ARMING FOR FIGHT
League of Nations Assembly Con-
fronted With Demand involving
Monroe Doctrine-Judge Lands
Releases Building Industry of
Chicago From Its Bonds
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.


Ireland declines to relinquish her
place on the front page of the worlds
news. AS was predicted, De Valera's
note to Premier Lloyd George merely
continued the controversy, acceptance
of the British dominion offer being
again refused and the Sim Fem argu-
nents repeated. Adherence to the
principle of government by the consent
of the governed was insisted upon,
and once more it was made clear that
by this Ireland means that she must
be treated as an entirely independent
nation.
LLOYD George was In Inverness,
| Scotland, when the note reached him.
and the British cabinet was called up
there to formulate reply. The min
listers were in bad humor at being
forced to make the trip and the pros
pect for conciliatory answer to the
Irish was gloomy. De Valera fore
stalled an adverse decision by the
statement that If England issued an
ultimatum war would result. Of
probably more effect was message
to the premier from the parliamentary
committee of the Trades Union con-
gress and the national, executive board
of tie Labor party, urging the govern
ment to invite representatives of the
irish people to meet them face to face
I'm a conference, and declaring that ut
would be disaster if the deep and
pervading the two peoples was allowed
to eyaporate while their representa-
tives engaged in a controversy by ex-
change of notes."
Several hours of debate put the
cabinet members in more cheerful
frame. of mind, and a new note was
dispatched that invited De Valera to
send delegates to a conference with
the cabinet at Inverness on September
20 for a renewed consideration of the
peace proposals. This sounded fine,
but there was fly in the ointment.
The condition was imposed that it
must be understood that Ireland was
to remain in the empire. No doubt
De Valera will send delegates to Scot
land. but whether the discussion will
be fruitful so long as they are asked
TO accept this compulsory stipulation
is questionable.
In q speech at Armagh Commandant
ODuffey of the Irish republican army
declared that south Ireland would
compel Ulster to unite with 1t by use
of the boycott, and that if that failed
lead. would be used. Belfast Union
lists have accepted this as a direct
challenge and are arming themselves
for the conflict Steps are also being
taken to revive the Ulster volunteer
forces. The Ulster press is exulting
over the prospect of a renewal of
hostilities between the British and
Sim Fem.
Sir Horace Plunkett, one of the
wisest of Irishmen, sees nothing but
two incompatible contentions-nO
progress whatsoever towards recon-
ciliation. He wants vote of the
whole Irish people on the matter.
