RAILROADS AND DELAYED
 PROSPERITY

All over the country in places which count the declaration is going out railroad freight and passenger rates < must come down." In circles to which the country must listen it is pointed ly declared that prosperity will not return until transportation costs have ceased to block the movements of commerce. Listen to what Charles M. Schwab says:
 "The railroads of the country must bring the cost of transportation down before the present industrial condi- tions can be made much better. The railroads are big factor in de- termining industrial conditions. For example, sometime before the war pig iron at Bethlehem was selling at $14 a ton. Now it costs $14 ton for freight alone"
 The railroad reports for the first six months of this year disclose some startling facts which should rouse not only the country but the men who control railroad policies.
 During the rst half of 1921 the railroads took nine million dollars more for passenger fares than for the first six months of 1920. But they hauled 73,500,OO0 fewer passengers. It Is declared that increased rates kept 14O.OOO,Ooo people at home who ' would otherwise have travelled.
 And the freight comparison is equ- ally startling. Freight rate incomes were three million dollars larger than Last year But the prohibitive rates reduced the movement of commodi- ties by almost three hundred million tons. Think what that tremendous cut in marketing of commodities meant to the country. It touched ev- cry state, every county and every township. Part of that cut was the two trainloads of watermelons which were not hauled to market from Craw- ford county because the freight was : higher than the melons could be sold for. And Fort Smith and it's field will spay very much more for Colorado and Michigan potatoes-and eat far less of them.-Southwes American.
 1 We have. before us another state- ment from the Railway Review stat { ing that the roads showed saving of s$1O0. .0OO. 900 June 1921 over June 1920 { which is some saving for a single ' Aonth. That was before the wage z cut of 12 per cent went into effect X. .N also says that the Frisco made sAving of S2,200.O00 in July 1921 as compared with July 1920. These arc {, zssulpposed to be inside facts for Wal ( Street and not for the public. About time rates were coming down, doni you think?

 CRISIS APPROACHING NOW

 President De Valera is quoted as saying, in a speech made today in Ireland, that if peace is not brought about it will be because there Is not the will on the part of Ireland so make it-because those opposed to us in Ireland do not want to make peace with us"

cuse for Japanese insiStence for a larger navy than is contemplated in the original plan.
 IL has been officially learned that arrangements have been made for direct negotiations between Japanese and Chinese representatives at the conference over the Shantung ques- ton.

HUGHES AND BALFOUR HELP
 EASTERN DELEGATES CONFER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. l. Baron Admiral Kato has formally presented to the disarmament con- ference the proposal of Japan for a 70 percent fleet basis, instead of 60 percent as suggested by Secretary Of State Hughes, in the American outline. It is reported the Japanese plan has the full support Of the Jap anese cabinet and the Tokio diplo- matic advisory board, while Ameri- can and British naval experts are standing together on the Hughes five five three plan and who regard the Japanese proposal as not ac- ceptable.
 Tn the opinion of some of the American delegates, the situation is delicate one but not without hope that the Japanese delegation ulti- mately will accept the original plan. It is held by western delegates that the Japanese proposal strikes at the fundamental idea in the American proposals for national security. It is believed there Is not sufficient ex-
