RAINS HIT HARVEST.
European Condition May Cause
Heavy u, S. Demand

Rains having held back the grain
harvest of Europe during July, a
heavy demand is anticipated for
American cereal exports from some
sections. according to a survey of
the foodstuffs situation abroad issued
today at the Department of Com
merce.
Reliable estimates. the department
reported. placed the yield for the
Greek harvest at % per cent below
last wear and the italian yield at 20
per cent under last season. Owing to
diminished production and the RAPID
increase in population. exceptionally
heavy imports Of grain are antici-
pated, the department said.
The new grain crop of Germany
was officially estimated at Is to 20
per cent less than last year, Spains
as medium and the Tunis wheat
crop at but 80 per cent of last years
Thra shing returns in southern France
revealed better returns than ex-
pected.
Rumania. however. the department
stated. should be in a position to ex-
port 100000 tons of grain during the
coming year, while the estimates OF
She Polish government indicate a
possible increase of grain production
this season of 1.716.000 tons. Grain
imports into England during the past
year increased heavily. but. the de-
partment said. were accounted for
principally by the heavier re-exports
to Germany and Russia.

to few dispatches plus some politi-
cal articles. But it is the life Of the
foreigner as a whole that we need to
know-artistic. literary, scientific and
are mutually interdependent and the
public cannot be well informed on
one unless it is kept abreast of de-
velopments in the Others"
Daniel Halevy, editor of Gathers
Verts. writes that for forty years
France has been promised journals of
information. but that none has yet
come into being. for the government
dominates the press and the news
agencies. and freedom is gone. Bu-
reauracy dictates the so-called news
dispatches, and where this is not the
case big industry does the same thing.
Let the financial interests. cries Mr.
Halevy. give us gratutous newspa-
pers; the public would know that the
papers are worth nothing.
Several of the contributors to the
symposium refer to British and
American papers, but only to warn
France against imitation Of them.
The French public, 1t is said, does
not want superabundance; it wants
we'll edited, well classified. we'll con-
densed news. with lucid and honest
editorials in their own place to ex-
plain the news.
AS to why the French press is what
it Is. opinions differ. Some say that
the profession of journalism has
ceased to exist in France. and that
everybody writes for the daily paper
politicians, men of letters, men of
affairs-all except properly trained
Journalists. Some accuse the bu-
reaucracy Of meddling with the press
Evening star., 1922-08-14

and forcing propaganda upon It. Some
allege that the public will not pay the
price of a good paper, hence subsidies
are unavoidable. and he who subsi-
dies will control policy. Even for
eign governments, or foreign cliques,
subsidize French papers. One editor

ference to national and international
problems, while many Of the party
organs appeal to the basest passions
and prejudices of the populace and
make the path Of sober statesmanship
the more thorny and difficult.
1t Is a healthy sign that so many
French editors and journalists recog-
nixe the fact, and the danger, Of a
parochial or provincial policy that
leads to isolation and misunderstand-
ing. Closer relations between France
and the world must be based on fuller
and freer intellectual intercourse.

FRENCH DECLARE HOME PAPERS
STIR UP TROUBLE WITH ALLIES

Largely as the result of complaints
by Frenchmen that the world mis-
understands them and that their
motives are always unjustly i'm
pugned, the Partisan weekly LOpin-
ion has undertaken an elaborate in
quiry into the status of the French
daily press and it's responsibility for
recent unfortunate controversies be-
tween France and its allies or friends.
The editors and directors of all the
leading Paris. as we'll as provincial,
papers have been invited to say
frankly whether they are satisfied
with their present moral positions
and their part in molding public
opinion. Their answers have been
appearing in L'Opinion and certainly
the discussion has been most illumi-
mating and candid.
Few editors pretend that they are
at all pleased with the conditions and
prospects of the French press. Nearly
all of the contributors indict that
press or charge what foreigners have
only vaguely hinted at-venality
gross commercialism. subserviency
to the government or to certain in
dustrial cliques. or both: lack of ef-
ficiency. absence of principle or con-
formation of value.
The French press, it Is said by most
of the editors, has absolutely no In
fuenCe abroad: it Is not read out
side of France. and there is no re-
spect for its opinions. 1t is not re-
garded as independent or. representa-
tive-and that. in point of fact. it has
none of those qualities.
To this some of the contributors
add that the French press cannot
hope for influence or consideration
abroad. since it does not command
any confidence at home. Devotion to
a given paper is thing of the past:
one reads all sorts OF papers and one
no longer regrets the disappearance
Of a journal that ones family has
taken for years All the papers are
scrappy. superficial. ill-informed and
chaotic. There is neither an adequate
chronicle of the days important news
nor an intelligent. careful interpreta-
tion of the events briefly recorded.
To quote few specimen utterances
of the contributors to the symposi um:
Andre Tardieu. editor of L'Echo
National (Clemenceaus former or
gam. writes: 1T is unfortunately
true that the French press does not
pass the frontier. 1t has no direct
influence on the foreign reader:
neither do we seek to inform him
indirectly. What have the French

NEW YORK, July 22.-The week

but. that was not the only tning to
help the bond market. Fewer new
issues were floated during the week
than for any week in several months,
for one thing, so that the supply OF
money is growing. Slackness in the
stock market does not harm the gilt
edged bonds, although, of course. 1t
does discourage purchase of the
cheaper issues.
Not all Of the weeks improvement

found more than ordinary popularity.

MODERATE COTTON
MARKET SLOWER
Increased Confidence on Crop
Situation and Labor Crises
Is Responsible.

NEW YORK. July 22.-The cot
ton market was moderately active
and lower. The opening quotations
were at to IL points down. prices
showing further pressure after the
opening and declined rather easily
in the early trading. The decline
seemed to be due to a somewhat
more confident feeling regarding
the crop situation and possibly a
little more hopeful feeling regard
ing the labor conditions.
The weather reports were con-
sidered as somewhat better than
the forecast indications of yester-
day. and while there were scat
tered showers in the Eastern belt
and some of the Gulf Coast the
rains were not heavy. Texas re-
ported temperature was still high.
but the conditions there are so un-
favorable fer the boil weevil that
the apprehension which the dry
weather might create on account
of drought damage was partly lost
sight of.
