Organized Farmers.

THIS week the executive Offices of federated
- organizations representing between 100000
----and 100000 farmers will meet in Washing
son- 70 these Industry, a publication whose
tells its purpose, addresses open letter, in
which it gives them its judgment and advice as to
their activities and supposed objectves.
Il lays down certain principles for their guild
znck Progress and prosperity not for one class
a. the expense of others. In democracy no class
can be taxed for the benefit of another class. The
agents of the Department of Agriculture should be
replaced by paid by these farmer organizations.
Farmers should not reduce production to affect
prifsss They should not organize to increase the
prizes Of their products, etc.
This may all be good advice. but why offered
To- farners by representatives of other industry?
Manufacturers shut down wholly or on part time,
when the markets unfavorsble. They try to
regulate supply to a demand, that at least they
viii escape without loss. They merely do not have
to look far ahead do farmers. Mines, also are
regulated in output to prevent loss and, it is
charged, to boost prices. Why single out the
farmers?
Labor jealousy preserves the right to strike
and to collective bargaining 1t is quite generally
admitted that wages longer be adjusted
solely upon the basis of supply and demand, and
that where private employment fails, it is public
obligation to provide employment public work
L1OOr IS Class ana II demands tariff prOtcC-
ton. Manufacturers demand tariff protection Tar
ifs are always at the expense of somebody for the
benefit OF somebody else, and tariff is tax
whether not it is "for revenue only" Manufae-
turers organize and if not to regulate prices this is
usually one of the results.
Moreover, the Department of Commerce was
authorized to do for manufacturers exactly what the
Department of Agriculture is authorized to do for
the farmers. If the farmers should take over and
pay all the Federal agents active in their behalf
should the manufacturers and exporters. If the
Federal government is to help class then abolish
these two departments and that of Labor, do not
bottoms.
AS fact, moreover, farmers are not a class
They represent a distinctive but varied industry
They are hand workers, producers and merchants
They are capitalists and laborers. They are lano
owners and renters. They are independent pro-
ducers and wage earners. They include in their
number every sort of vocation and all classes
Theirs is the basic industry and any profit which
comes to them is the most widely distributed of all
income
But the one place they still weak is as busi-
ness They have not yet learned the invest
ment end of thrift They still permit themselves
totbe the victims not alone of shrewd buyers, but
of expert and unscrupulous statesmen. These or
mainly with this element of farming the merchant
end, and they should surely be encouraged No one
need fear they will do unfair, unjust or wrong
things that will be hurtful to others and boone
rang to themselves

A New Country.

W|ONDERS never cease. The seemingly i'm
w possible occurs often that the skeptics'
heads are sore with the bump they get. The leaven
of common sense has not shut up shop and when
it seems to have gone out of business the world
over, it suddenly produces loaf ready for the bak-
ing. -. ' ~.
Just everyone had forgotten that such a loaf
was in the making, the announcement comes that
Guatemala has ratified the treaty already accepted
by Salvador and Honduras, forming the Federation
Of Central America. This will substitute one gov
ernment for three and form one considerable coun-
try of three negligible ones. When Costa Riea and
Nicaragua make it FIVE in one, there will be another
United States to the south of u.s.
All these people naturally belong together ethnie-
ally as well as geographically. Their combined
populations and resources will give strength none
of them could hope to have alone and If the three
complete their organization by adopting the pro-
posed constitution the others quite inevitably
join them. :. ~
1t would be positively funny if this should result
in even cutting down the Central American revolu-
tions in proportion. If then the people should be
permitted to occupy their time at productive work
instead OF fighting each other to the glory of some
egotistc leader, it might affect the morale of our
Marines through inactivity, but it would be a con-
summation most to be wished
At least there is the evidence of things seen
with partial realization Of things hoped for which
to hang goodly portion Of faith in the future of
this infant federation. With Uncle Sam as friend
and foster parent, it should develop at least as
sanely as has Cuba.

FLOOR AND WALL TILE
INDUSTRY SUCCESS INT {

Floor and wall tile was the nrst
type Of whitewsre pottery 10 he
made in the United States in suTi-
cient quantity to discourage sts i'm
portation." said II. II. SortveIl AZ
the weekly meeting OF the Bureau
OF Standards technical STAFF Friday
ft'rnoon. 1t was explained that
this came about largely due 20 the
lesser dependence on highly skilled
labor OF the manufacture Of this
product than that of other white
ceramic ware. Whereas thr,e or
four practical potters can operate a
tile plant with unskilled labor. the
manufacture Of tableware, china,
etc, requires a large stan Of trained
workmen on whose ability to form
the ware depends almost entirely
the successful operation Of the
plant.
The floor and wall tile industry e.
now on a firm basis, tile being
q large export business lie con-
duced.
The functions Of the materials in
the body were explained showing
that the clays give the body its
working properties in the green or
unfired state, the heldspar acts a.
the fiux promoting fusion in nr-
ing. and the flint gives the body
rigidity and keeps Il open allowing
the escape OF gases and steam dur
ing firing. Typical body and glaze
formulas were shown, and the
manufacturing processes were eX-
planned in detail. Floor tile are
hred but one to about 1850 degrees
centigrade. As the wall tile are
glazed they are fred twice; FIRST 10
l.27S degrees TO give the tile its per-
msnent form and qualities, and then
after coating with glaze. to l,lSo
degrees to melt the glaze.
I'm time OF uncertainty OF ocean
transportation, tile may be made
from domestic mstefisls alone" said

BIRD MIGRATION

The Biological Survey Of In. De-

GREEK-TURK WAR.


The allied governments took the
Greek voters at their word. They
knew they couldn't depend on Con-
stantine. and. moreover, they didn't
want to depend upon him. They
invited representatives of the Sui
tan's government at Constantinople
and of Kyemal's Independent Nation
alist government in Anatolia to
the London conference. There the
Sevres treaty was modified and
Kemal agreed to accept the mod
Grated peace terms.
The revision was unpalstable to
Constantine, because it loOsened
Greece's grip on Smyrna. He didn't
want his subjects to realize so
promptly what a price they had paid
for the royal restoration. He has
called out the reservists and renew
ed war on one of the two Turkish
governments. But he is not fight
ing. as Nenizelos did. on the side
Of the allies. The allies are spec
tators.

RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS RAP TRADE
PROPOSALS.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The opinion prevails. and is being
circulated assiduously among influ-
entail American circles as well as
among Russian immigrants in this
country, that THE lack of a trade
agreement is detrimentally affecting
the living conditions of the innocent
women and children of Russia, and
that this means a perpetuation of the
blockade of Russia which is detri-
mental to it's population.
We, United Russia Socialists of
New York, deem II our duty, there
fore, to declare the following:
In the beginning of 1919. when
the allies agreed to Nansen's pro.
posal of aiding the starving popu-
'lation of Soviet Russia, stipulating
only that Il be done under the con-
troll of an international commission,
so as to make sure that goods sent
to Russia would really go to the
suffering population instead of the
Red army and war purposes, the
Bolsheviki rejected this offer, not in
the least concerned with the fate of
the population which they had
brought to the verge OF utter pau
perism, but thinking only of main
tanning their own prestige as a rul-
ing power. t
: A year later, in the spring of 1920,
when the allied supreme council re-
solved to resume trade relations
with Russia through the medium of
the cooperative organizations,
which were so highly developed In
Russia, again on condition that the
Imported goods should reach the
needy population, and not be d.
rerted to the commissaries and the
Red army, the Bolsheyist fower re-
sponded to this offer by ! nat re-

Renewal of the Greek offensive
against the Turks is a Corollary of
the efforts being made by the pow
ers to deprive Greece of Smyrna
and other territory in Asia Minor
now in her possession. 1t was
bitter blow to Greece to find that
the allies, in their recent confer
ence in London. had determined to
give back to Turkey a considerable
part of the land reclaimed by the
valor of the Greek armies. Con-
stantinists and venizelists stand on
common ground when ii comes to
maintaining foothold in Asia
Minor. Panhellenism is the creed
of a majority of present-day Hell
lenes. In a dispute with their hered-
itary enemy, the Turk, the Greek
people are wont to comp&e their
domestic quarrels, and meet as a
unit the question at issue.
