To the Editor kennebec Journal:
In regard to Mr.. Bakers article in
the press, 1 will say that perhaps he
doesn't realize that he is condemn
ing the judgment of a large per-
centage of the sweet corn growers of
Maine when he condemns Mr.. Craw-
ford's statements, in regard to bene-
fits received through the association,
for the farmers certainly have de-
rived benefits from the association.
Five cents per pound was not or:gi-
nally offered by the packers two
years ago, and / will say that / have
kept crop cost accounts for the last
two years and that the average
farmer cannot raise corn for less
than $4,000 per acre. AS to there
not being as much money in any 9TH
err crop this year, that remains to be
seen, but it is my judgment that one
year and another, there is more
money and less labor, in field or
ensilage corn than there is in sweet
corn at oslo, and that one cannot
average 5000 lbs. per acre, nor near
it. Furthermore 1 say if there isn't
money enough in the sweet corn
crop so that the farmer can make a
reasonable profit, let's drop it and
develop something that will give us
a net return. If the business would
not warrant a large acreage this
year, the farmers would have been
glad to cut their acreage if they
could get little net return on what
they did raise. 1t is my opinion that
it is time that the farmers had
something to say about the price of
their products and the only way they
can do it is by cooperative market
ing.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO
All Obregon has to do is to have his
country safeguard American property
rights against confiscation and the
recognition of the United States can
be had by Mexico, and she badly
needs it. Mexico's attitude in the
past makes it necessary that she
should definitely commit herself by
treaty with this country. It will not
suffice for her to say: I'VE are doing
what is right, but our people cannot
be made to promise to do what is
right" A treaty is a formal agree
ment and the great nations do not
refuse to recognize such a pact as
necessary and advantageous to inter-
national relations. A government
that is unwilling to bind itself by
proper regulations does not merit
recognition.
Certain very important features Of
the Mexican situation have been
forced on public attention of late
The hope of Mexico to interest Ar
gentina and secure loans from her is
not materializing. Argentina has
little money to lend, but though in
racial sympathy with Mexico she is
too far away for the maintenance of
financial interest. MeXico's future
lies in the relations maintained with
her great neighbor on the north.
Success in this depends on mutual
understanding. This is lacking in
large degree but not SO large as it
was. In the United States certain
financial interests desiring our inter-
vention in Mexico's affairs shrewdly
misrepresent them. In Mexico Car
rama, promising the Wilson admins
traton everything he thought might
please it, worked deliberately against
the United States, and to further his
own ambition played on the ingrained
suspicion and dislike which the aver
age Mexican has for his powerful
neighbor on the north. Outrages
were perpetrated, American interests
were jeopardized and robbed, wrongs
that have not been righted, losses
that have not been Unidentified.
Manifestly until these injuries are
recognized and provisions are made
Tor putting an end to them the con-
fidence essential to relations worthy
the name cannot be maintained with
Mexico. A quite general opinion in
this country is that General Obregon
ically to meet obligations, that in the
words of the street he is MeXico's
best bet" but his is an uphill job
of tremendous size. He must lead, or
control, masses uneducated and dis
trustful; he must have support of
honest and capable and patriotic
aides-and where may he find them?
He must put down instruction with
strong hand and yet deal SO justly
as to command respect; he must en-
counter, if reports from Mexican pa
pers are near the truth, a judiciary
accustomed to being corrupted or
swayed other than by the demands
of justice and equity; what Gel Ma
cional" terms 1.-THE Gangrene of the
Nation"
He needs all the support Uncle Sam
may give him. On the other hand we,
too, need friendly relations with and
the confidence of our neighbors to the
south of the Rio Grange. The ad-
ministration evidently appreciates
these conditions to the full, yet it
wisely sees that nothing is to be
gained by any attempt that is pre-
mature or ill-founded.

THE SEEDS OF PEACE ARE soWN

President Harding's call for a con-
ference ON disarmament has met with
eager response in the main, although
japan has agreed to the idea with
some evidence of reluctance, insisting
that othervquestions must be dragged
into the discussions, including that
hoary hedgehog of diplomacy, the Far
East.
There will be much rough going
IL is somewhat doubtful whether dis,
armament will be realized immedi-
ately, owing to the heavy burden
of distrust which exists; but after
while, now that the idea has feet to
stand On, the world viii come to un-
derstand its age-long folly; navies
viii be strapped and armies reduced
to police-force size. No longer, when
the nations finally set aside prejudice
and passion, win mere than three
fourths of the tax dollar go pay fol
agencies that MAIN and destroy and
there viii ultimately come return
Of simplicity, founded on right-heart-
ed concessions.
No matter how japan views the
situation, what England, France
Italy, and the United States deter
mine upon-that is the thing that
must prevail. The hardest part of il
is, many men deal in the tools OF
strife and scatter insiduous expecta-
tons Of it; and these men, whose
minds have been hardened by unpar-
allied profits, will not sit idly by while
others map out pacific policies.
At bottom, the question has to dc
with such UNNECESSARILY complicated
things as protective tariffs, oil rights
timber lands, and thousand obscure
agencies of greed. To secure dis
armament, people everywhere mus
lay hold of governments and insisi
upon abstinence from slaughter. No
where, in all the authoritative coun
ellis. is there a ready-made substitute
for that invincible battering-ram

YOUR FOREIGN INVESTMENT.

News dispatches from Washington
recently Informed US that there was
an understanding" under the Wilson
administration whereby the payment
of interest on the ten billions Of dol
lars owed to us by foreign govern
ments was to bed eferred for some
thing like twenty-five years. g.
Indications now are that the pres
ent administration will adhere to this
understanding"
There are something over a hun
dred million people in the United
States. Ten billions of dollars, with
interestnow due and unpaid, means
one hundred dollars, pro rata, fo1
every man, woman and child in this
country
That represents your forced loan
TO foreign governments.
Apparently you are not to expect
any interest on this loan for twenty
FIVE years or more.

never see either the interest or thu
principal.

VERY MUCH AWAKE.

There may have been a time when
the residents of a small country town
or a farming district took little or nc
interest in affairs outside of their own
community, other than to vote their
straight party tickets at election
time
But that time is not now. 1t has
not been for years.
The man behind the counter or the
pillow is Just as vitality interested in
state and national affairs as his cou.
sin in the great city.
The foreign news lis just as care
fully scanned from day to day and the
field Of research and invention is re
ligiousIy scrutinized.
There IS little that transpires in the
world Of affairs that is not known and
understood, BY the man in his rural
home, for it is through his, constant
search for advanced knowledge OF
. practical nature that he is enabled
TO keep pace with the swiftly moving
tides of life.
If a just comparison could De
made it is probable that, man for man,
the person in the country town or on
the farm would be found to be better
posted on the affairs Of the world in
reneral than the, average dweller Of
any Of the great cities.-Jena Times.
