BRAND REPLIES IN
| CONC|L|AT0RY TONE
FRANCE WILL ACCEPT THE
VIEWS OF UNITED STATES
ON MANUFACTURES
Makes Reply to Secretary Hughes
Note in Amicable Terms, Answer
Being Construed a. Squaring
With American Attitude.

Washington.--The French reply to
Secretary Hughes notes on mandates,
the only one SO far received from any
of the four great powers addressed,
was made public simultaneously Thurs
day In Washington and Paris. It is in
the form of letter from Permier Bril-
and to Ambassador Wallace and is Of a
preliminary nature, NJ. BRAND stating
a full response could not be made "un-
til after an understanding has been
reached between the governments of
the four interested powers at the next
meeting of the supreme council"
Administration officers said the re-
ply was agreeable to the United States,
and while not an absolute commit
ment, was couched in diplomatic
language tantamount to a recognition
of the principle laid down by Mr..
Hughes.
The French premier deals with the
Japanese mandate over zap, but does
not advert specifically to the American
claim to equal rights with the other
principal allied and associated powers
in disposition of the former German
overseas possessions.
AS to zap, M. BRAND says that
"when this question comes before the
supreme council, the representatives
Of France will breach the examina-
ton thereof with the greatest desire to
find solution which will give every
satisfaction to the United States"
He reminds Ambassador Wallace
that France "has already done all in
It's power to lend its aid to the Ameri-
can government in this matter" and
refers to previous expression by
France of the hope that the cOntrO-
versy may be satisfactorily settled by
conversations between the American
and Japanese governments.
Reference also is made to an I'M
published French note to the United
States on Yap in which France con-
firms that at meetings Of the supreme
council before that of May Z, 1919,
when mandate for the northern Pa
cific islands was awarded Japan, res
ervations regarding zap were made
by President Wilson and by Secretary
Lansing.
That note says that the reserva-
lions were made in the presence Of
Baron Maxine of Japan, who had not
objected that the question raised
should be placed in discussion, and
that Japan was cognizant Of the
American reservations.

FEEDING cows SAWDUST

The facetious statement, re-
peated in a Joking way, "Put
green goggles on the cows and
fool them by feeding sawdust
and shavings," is apparently not
going to be necessary in future
to feed them that product. 1t
has been found by experiment
that sawdust from non-resinous
soft woods can be used, but 1t
first must undergo a process Of
treatment with certain acids,
which change a part of the dry
matter into carbohydrates. How
ever, the low protein content
of sawdust as a feed would not
augur well for Its future use.

EQUITY POOL
IS JUSTIFIED
Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million
Bushels Exported this Year to
166,348,8l4 for 1920.
GRAIN is KEPT OFF THE MARKET
Farmer Able to Get Advance of SOC;
Without Selling at Low Price

Farmers need no better argument to
convince them of the utility of pool
upon which they can obtain certain
advance in cash than the bearish news
that certain of the grain trade jour-
nails are now circulating, says state
ment by the Equity Grain Growers
Pool, Twin city trade paper.
'The real trouble with the market is
that around 150,OOO,OOO bushels of
cash wheat is pressing on the Ameri-
can markets, the actual supply Wis
ible and in the hands of mills and
country elevators on October 1 being
officially reported at 211,000,000 bu."
OF this cash wheat that is pressing
on the market vast volume is the
"stored wheat" that farmers have TAX
en- to local elevators. When these in
stitutions are full of wheat, they ship
it out, sell it, put the money in their
bank accounts, or leave it on deposit
with their commission companies, and
expect to be able to buy back enough
of this wheat to meet the demands of
any farmer presenting his storage
ticket for redemption.
But when this stored wheat is thus
sold it becomes a part of the "pres-
sure on the Market" just as the over
selling of futures, otherwise known
as grain gambling, does. It helps
lower the price of the grain left in the
farmers hands. If the above men,
toned trade journal is correct in its
analysis, then this pressure would have
been relieved if that $50 600, 900 BUSH
els could have been pooled and not
thrown upon the market, which is al
ready glutted.
. The grain pool accomplishes this re-
suit, bringing the grain together and
holding it off the market. Over a
million and a quarter bushels have
been pledged and great deal has al
ready been shipped and is now in ac-
tual storage.
The farmer who has grain either in
his granary or stored in elevators for
which he holds storage tickets, is able
to get an advance of 500 of the local
value and not be forced to market the
grain on this ruinously low market.

SENATOR FAvORs CHILD LABOR
McCumber Believes Youngsters Should
Be Taught to Work

Upholding child labor in the Cuban
sugar fields Senator McCumber said
Monday in the senate in the hearing
on duties, "work is what they need
and what they ought to have to make
them self-supporting citizens"
Mr.. McCumber's statement follow
ed that of Francis X. Carey of Balti-
more, who in reply to charges that
children were extensively employed
in the sugar fields, said the companies
in Cuba had done wonderful work.
in aiding the growing populace.
"The idea is growing that child
should not work until he is 16 years
DID," said Mr.. McCumber. eff he
never works until then he never will
learn to work"
Extended arguments for and against
the 1.6 cents per pound on Cuban raw
sugar were engaged in by the tariff
trainers. Spokesman for American
sugar companies operating in Cuba
declared the existing rate would pre-
vent a rehabilitation of the industry
there, while representatives of the
beet sugar industry in this country
held the return to the one cent per
pound rate would prevent develop
ment, if not totally destroy the in
dustry.
A duty of two cents a pound on
Cuban raw sugar as compared with
the present emergency rate of 1.6
cents and the one cent in the Under
wood tariff law, was asked of the
senate finance committee by the Unit
ed States sugar manufacturing asso-
citation, through G. w. Mccormick,
beet sugar manufacturer of Menom-
inee, Mich.
