At TER RANSOM
FOR 40 YANKS
AND PROPERTY
Two Days to Produce
$4,000 Pesos Was Up
on Tuesday Morning.

Washington. June 27-Seizure of
10 American employees of the Cortez
Oil company at Tampico. Mexico. re-
ported to the state department Tues
day. as security for ransom of 15,OOO
pesos. created a stir in official circles
in Washington.
Lacking further information as to
what has happened behind what is ap-
parently rigid censorship at Tampico,
however, there was little to indicate
Tuesday night whether the incident
would lead to any change of attitude
here toward the Obregon government
in Mexico.
Say Break Unlikely
In fact at the White House it was
said that relations between the United
States and Mexico were not likely to
be affected in any way by the bandits
outbreak and the recent kidnapping for
ransom near Cuernavaca of Bruce
Bielaski, formerly chief of the bureau
of investigation of the department OF
justice.
Until the Mexican government has
been proved unequal to according such
protection to Americans and their
property as the occasion demands,
there appears to be no disposition here
10 move in any other than a diplomatic
way.
Property Also Held
Beyond a brief report stating that
in addition TO the two score American
employees. a quarter of million dol
lars worth of destructible property of
the Cortez Oil company was being held
as security for the payment demanded.
no other word had reached the state
department Tuesday night concerning
the bandit action in Tampico.
Both the embassy in Mexico City
and the consul at Tampico were in
structed to press for immediate action
by the Mexican federal authorities.
adequate protection for American lives
and property. and punishment of the
perpetrators of the outrage.
The consul reported that the rebel
general. Gorozave. with 240 we'll
armed men, held the property and the
40 Americans and had given As hours
from Sunday morning, when the raid
occurred. for payments demanded. The
time limit elapsed Tuesday morning. 1t
was expected that further word would
come at any moment, showing what
finally had occurred.
Uncertainty Indicated
There were indications that state
department officials were not exactly
sure just what sort of situation they
had TO meet.
At least so far as known. the state
department Tuesday night had not re-
ported the Cortez company incident to
either army or navy officials or in
quired as to the availability of navy
ships to be sent to the scene. There
is no American warship now in waters
adjacent to Tampico.

Canadian Farmers for Government Pool
Growers Of Three Provinces Pass Resolutions for Same
Plan Leader Advocates

resolution was finally limited to wheat.
Many may be surprised that the
resolution demanding that the Cana
dian wheat board be revived, asked
also that the board be under the
Craftsmanship Of James Stewart. The
Canadian farmers have learned that
the men who enforce the laws are as
important in the results as the laws
themselves. It is not enough to have
government wheat pool. There
should also be honest management,
sympathetic with the farmers.
President H. w. Wood of the United
farmers of Alberta expressed this
point as follows:
"In no way in the world could we
get nearer to getting every fraction Of
a cents value for our wheat than with
Jim Stewart at the head Of the board.
On the other hand, with some other
man at the head of the board that re-
suit would not be achieved"
AS told previously in the National
Leader, the Canadian government
operated a complete pool of the farm
ers' wheat in 1919. It bought the
farmers wheat at $2.15 bushel at
important western terminal points and
sold it for as much as could be obtain
ed from the European buyers and the
millers of the United States and
Canada. The farmers were also given
participation certificates which yielded
them an additional 48 cents bushel
at the close of the season.
Grain gamblers and their news
papers Of course conducted a vast
amount of propaganda against this
1919 wheat pool, and unfortunately
large number Of the farmers were
foolish enough to believe this propa-
ganda Of the enemy.
The farmers of western Canada now
ask that this government grain pool,
which was abandoned in 1920 merely
on account of grain gambler propa-
ganda, be "reinstated."
Another important development in
Canada is the move by the Canadian
Royal Grain commission asking the
governments of the different wheat
producing countries of the world to
unite on plans for more orderly mar
keting of wheat. ....
Thus Canada and the Canadian
farmers are several jumps ahead of
the farmers of the United States in
demanding effective action in the
wheat market. But we have made
great progress since Mr.. Townley
formulated the American pool plan.
The National leader., 1922-02-06

u IIle year, Oh Cle plan
now being advocated by the Leader
and northwestern farmers generally.
First, the executive committee of
the Saskatchewan grain growers
launched the demand. Then, in the
second week of January, the United
farmers of Manitoba joined in the de-
mand. '....-.
On January 10 the United farmers
of Alberta passed a resolution at a
formal convention Of the organization,
with not more than half dozen OBJ
jectors.
The resolution embodying farmer
sentiments in these three western
provinces asks the government Ito re-
instate the Canadian wheat board to
handle the wheat crop Of 1922 and
until such time as world conditions
again become normal, and that the
board be under the Craftsmanship of
James Stewart"
The Canadian government wheat
pool Of 1919, handled by the wheat
board, proved a great success. Hence
the move to revive the plan.
The debate on wheat marketing oc-
cupied the greater part of the evening
before the convention of the United
farmers of Alberta. Many resolutions
were suggested dealing with different
methods of handling the wheat prob
lem. Finally all were discarded in
favor of the one which approved the
government pool plan.
The sentiment was expressed that
"Canada should sell her wheat 'as one
man, that government control of the
crop would result in an equalization
of the price for every one, regardless
of his location; that the condition of
a glutted market at certain seasons
would be removed; and that the oper-
ations of the grain exchange, held by
some speakers to be harmful to the
farmers interests, would be limited"
One delegate remarked that the
farmers now had "a little leverage in
the shape of 65 members of parlia-
ment, to use when it came to getting
a pool established by the govern
ment."
There was considerable debate as to
whether the government should con-
troll all grains or wheat alone, and the
