A MOMENToUS OCCASION

Now that Japan has expressed a
willingness to join in a peace confer
ence without reservations the only
obstacle worthy of much attention is
the Irish problem. With civil war
raging there England would be ham
pered at the conference table. While
there are good grounds for hope that
the Emerald Isle may be in fairly
the conference.
A feature. very impressive and
winch should not be overlooked, is
that the tongue of criticism has been
remarkably still respecting this pro-
posed assembling of the nations in
the interests of peace. There have
come in various ways expressions of
an unmistakable and practically uni
versal sentiment that is favorable to
the undertaking. Criticism for
selfish ends is an intolerable thing.
Even demagogues may well hesitate
to employ it.
If this sentiment shall increase, as
We believe it will, it will have a
mighty power over the representa-
tives of the nations who meet around
the conference table, face to face and
with the eyes of the world upon them.
Something good must come of it; let
that conviction take possession of the
minds of the peoples. Then what

A CONFLICT AMONG cONcLU-
SIONS

There is a noticeable conflict OF
conclusions between the public health
officials at Washington, who estimate
a hundred thousand cases of pellagra
in the cotton belt states of which ten
percent must die unless relieved, and
the reports which come from the au-
thorities OF those states.
Pellagra is defined as a chronic
disease of unknown cause, charac-
terized by gastric and intestinal
symptoms and by some authorities. is
attributed to a fungus parasitic on
maize. The public health officials
say the spread of this in the South
is due to impoverished conditions
among people forced upon them by
depression in the cotton markets. If
this be true our government should
instantly provide relief Our people
have been generously assisting I'M
fortunates in other countries and we
hope may be able to continue to do
so, but it must not be at the cost of
our own. President Harding very
properly took instant action to insure
a thorough investigation of condi-
tions and the providing of relief
Now come the authorities in sew
eral of the states concerned speaking
in words of resentment, some declar-
ing the occasion does not demand
this. The GeoI gia senate denounces
the report as claiming; Florida de-
clares the disease to be on the de-

many cases as last year but is Of

I Such a conflict among conclusions
are somewhat at fault. 1t is possible
the public health officials are a little
too officious. Such instances have
been known, and in order to get re-
suits they may have exaggerated the
situation. On the other hand some
of those states are hoping to receive
many tourists from the north during
the next winter and may fear lest
this exposure prove detrimental

breeds contempt and they must have

Weekly Lumber Market Report.

american Lumberman. July 23)
The usual midsummer quiet pre-
walls in the lumber business. While
buying is on limited basis, there are
in evidence some factors which are
regarded as distinctly encouraging.
The first encouraging feature is that
railroad inquiries are numerous and
some purchases have been made.
Business of this character has been
scarce and consequently there is keen
competition for it with the result that
prices are very low. Another en-
that buying Of hardwoods by the
furniture manufacturers is going to
increase materially-a belief that is
accentuatod by the encouraging re-
ports coming from midsummer furn-
iture sales, where considerable VOL
ume of business is being transacted.
Production remains on low basis,
especially of hardWoods; in fact, it is
probable that never before have I'M
sold stocks of hardwoods, especially
in the better grades, been so low.
Prices vary and hover close to the
cost of production. From the week
ended Jan. s up to the week ended
