WALSH FARMERS
CUTTING CROPS
Chamber OF Commerce
Is Direct Cause By
Figures

Grafton, N. D.-Resolutions urging
a 80 percent curtailment in the pro-
duction of wheat, were adopted by
the Walsh County Farmers club, at
a meeting here attended by go farm
ers, called for discussion Of farm
labor wages and extent Of wheat pro-
duction.
The Resolutions
Following general discussion, the
resolutions were adopted as follows:
Whereas, the Chamber of Com
merce asserts that overproduction of
wheat was the principal reason for
the radical decline in prices on the
1920 crop.
"Whereas, we, farmers of Walsh
county, have been producing wheat
the past year at more than $1.00 loss
per bushel; and
"Whereas, it will besa loss to us to
continue in the suicidal business the
coming season with machinery higher
than ever and hired help asking more
wages than wheat farming can stand;
now, therefore,
"Be it resolved, in farmers club
meeting assembled at the Walsh
county courthouse, that we curtail the
production of wheat at least 80 per-
cent, and that we appeal to all farm
ers of the northwest to do the same in
the hope that We may get a better
return for our labors the coming
year."

Captain Randall

May the ghost of old Floyd Ireson
render comfort to Captain Randall
Of the Hudson. who is charged will,
having violated the unwritten law of
the sea in failing to stand by 60
rescue three men in dory Off Am
brose Light last Wednesday.
Steamship men. who say The case
against Captain Randall is without
parallel in the history Of navigation,
seem to have forgotten the tale of
the Marblehead skipper and the
terrible punishment meted out to
him by the women of his town.
Small pity for him. He sailed away
From leaking ship in Chaleur Bay,
Sailed away from sinking wreck
With his own tov'nspeople on her
deck,
Lay by lay BY they called to him.
Back he answered Sink or SWIM
BRAY Of your catch of fish again
And of he sailed through the fog
and rain.
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarrcd and fcathered and carried in
BY the women Of Marblehead,
Justice to the memory of The
skipper required OF the poet Whit
tier, as it has Of all legend mongers
Of Marblehcad ever since, that
lreson's name be purged of shame.
He was entirely blamelcss, the
charge against HIM having been
trumpcd up by disaffected sailors on
his ship. After the historian of
Marh'ehead set the poet right on
the matter the latter ordered that
an apology to the skipper be printed
IN Succeeding issues of his works.
But such legends die hard. That
Is why it is doubly imperative that
the steamship officials sift the
charge against Captain Randall to
It's depths, that his name be cleared
before the shadow Of an unforgjv-
able ofense be attached to il. A
captain of many years honorable ex-
penehcc. father Of three children.
docs not turn a deaf ear to the cries
OF fellow men in distress at sea.

The Evil That Men Do

Germany would welcome an
agreement among England, Amer.
ica and France along the lines of
the Observation-Disclosures defen-
sive treaty" This statement is at
tributed to a prominent German re-
Gently in London.
Startling as it sounds, the eXpla-
nation which accompanied it is that
with such guaranty France would
no longer be burdened with the fcar
Of q renascent Germany. She would
no longer feel that strong Germany
was menace to France. And for
this reason she would not seek to
bind Germany to keep the peace. Il
would therefore be possible for
Germany to hasten her return to
normalcy and through her increased
earning power meet the reparations
obligations more readily.
Accustomed as we are in this coun-
try to thinking Of Germany as seek
ing only to evade the penalties Of the
var, this argument is not easy to
accept. But the fact remains that
whatever may be Germany's desire
in the II after, France, unless she has
some such guaranty. can live only in
fear of Germany, and must in self
protection hold Germany down.
The world is reaping the fruit Of
the evil sown by the ignorant i'll
Paris. Against his theories and
wishes, Mr.. Wilson finally agreed to
q pact guaranteeing France against
German aggression. 1t was a prac-
tical measure thai would have in
surcd the peace of the world. But
it made a mockcry Of the League of
Nations, and so, contrary to the
agreement to which he had pledged
his hard. he postponed submission
of th- treaty to the Senate. Article
" read that the treaty should be
submitted "at the same time as the
Treaty Of Versailles" But when.
on July 10. 1919. Mr.. Wilson sub
nlitted the Versailles pact he failed
to submit The French treaty. 1t was
not until nineteen days later. after
criticism of his course by Repub-
lican Senators. that he consented to
submit this pact to the Senate This
delay was fatal, and to-day the
treaty seems as dead as its com
panion. Perhaps in time the Har-
ding administration will see its wav
clear to reviving a project that
ould really assure peace.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One Of the young men in the
Junior Naval Reserve has brought to
my attention the letter , :. John l..
Bogert regarding the "Uso Of Ships for
Schools" in your issue ,f October 5.
MIR. Rogert has rendered q distinct
service to the cause the Junior Naval
Reserve represents. This organization on
has been endeavoring for more than a
year to find some way to induce the
national government to lend co-opera-
ton ia the matter of the use of idle
ships and the state governments to be
more liberal TO the Reserve in permit
ting p consistent use Of the National
Guard armories for military drill and
navigation classes.
More recently we have appealed to
the Shipping Board for the use of one
or more of the wooden ships that Mr.
Laskcr. the chairman. was so anxious
for some one to come and take away

Mr. Bogcrt comes forward with an

Hail the Prophet!

Linen Duster Dick spent the
week end at one Of Atlantic Citv's
most fashionable resorts. This adj
nittedly being something that the
Hylan Commissioner of Police does
rather consistently and well, would
occasion no remark if it were not
for the fact that he seized the oc-
casion Of his latest excursion to es-
say the role Of political prophet.
Hylan Mayor for another four
years by majority Of from 300.-
coo to 100000, The prophet
should have stopped there But,
having said that much, Linen Duster
Dick could not resist proceeding to
an analysis of his prophecy:
"Mv prediction is based solely on
my knowledge Of the political situa-
tion in New York. think it is safe
to say the Mayor will be returned to
Office by not less than 500 900 ma
jority. Personally would not be
surprised to see this majority 60 as
high as half a million"
Which may be taken as a meas
ure of what Linen Duster Dick
knows of the political situation in
New York But, unable to see that
the Atlantic City reporters were
listening to him with their tongues
in their checks, he gabbled on in
emphasis Of his ignorance
at least IS per rent OF the Demo
Gratis who voted for Mitchell in the
last campaign will vote for Hylan in
November. Hc will have the solid
support Of the Democratic organi-
zation In addition the
Mayor is receiving thousands of let
ters daily from Republicans who de-
clare they will vote for him. The
Mayor has been Investigated and |
have been investigated, and. contrary
20 the advance notices, the investi-
cations have not developed thing"
Hylanism must be desperate
indeed to inspire Linen Duster Dick
to such statements in the face Of
the wreck Of the school system and
of the corruption and graft and
helpless incptitude which stand
proven against this administration,
HyIan and Hearst and Tammany
realize that their rule is near an
end Linen Duster Dick uncon-
sciously and fatuously admits it.

A New American State

A new federated Central Ameri-
can state came into existence yes
tcrday, when Guatemala, Salvador
and Honduras reunited in pursuit OF
the old ideal OF one sovereignty from
the Mexican border to Panama. All
this territory was embraced in the
Captain Generally Of Guatemala
under Spanish rule All Of it was
united for a brief period to the un-
stable Mexican Empire Of Iturblde.
When the five old Spanish audiencias
Guatemala, Salvador. Honduras,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica-recov-
cred their independence in 1928 they
constituted themselves the Republic
of Central America.
This union broke down because Of
bitter Quarrels between the two
rival groups in Central American
politics-the Conservatives and the
Liberals. The Conservative ele-
ments in Guatemala. under Carrera,
broke up the federated state in 1880
Guatemala seeding. The four
southern states formed a new union.
which was dissolved in l845. Bar
rios, the GuatemalAn dictator, sought
in 1885 to conquer the other states,
but failed. In 1895 Nicaragua, Sal
vador and Honduras combined, but
soon parted again. In 1908 another
and somewhat different step toward
solidarity was taken. A Central
American Supreme Court was es-
tablishcd at Cartago, to decide all
disputes among the five member
nations. But one Of its decisions.
which went against Nicaragua in
case involving a canal treaty be-
tween the United States and Nicar-
aqua, disrupted the judicial con-
cert.
Nicaragua has held aloof from the
new fcderaliza tion project. Costa
Rica's representatives signed the
federal compact, but the National
Assembly afterward rejected it. The
three northern states will there
fore go it alone for the present.
The desire for union in external
relations is economic as we'll as
political. These small powers have
found it a burden to maintain dip
lonatjc stafs abroad and also rep
resentation in the League Of Ma
tions. They have suffered, too, from
