DISARMAMENT

San Bernardino Sun: We progress
in the direction Of disarmament. While
an assembly Of world stateAnen is IN
session at Washington, seeking to
scrap the worlds navies and enthronc
peace in every chancellory, comes the
word from Belgium that a gun has
been invented whose range is 15O
miles, or twice the distance covered
by the "Big Bertha with which the
Germans terrorized Paris during the
war. Remembering the CONSERVATION
that followed announcement that the
enemy was bombarding Paris from q
distance of rs miles, consider what
would happen in London if it develop
ed that two or three of these l5O-mile
guns were aimed toward the me
tropolis from the European mainland
It is plain to be seen that everybody
wants peace, but in the meantime tht
biggest guns and the deadlicst gas

hands of clcyerest scientists and IN

Fresno Republican: G. Harold Pow
ell of the California Fruit Growers
Exchange had an opportunity to do
some preaching for cooperative pro-
ducers' associations that will be of
great benefit to the East generally.
What We need in agriculture is a
continuance of the policy of stabiliz-
ing. We have had injury enough to
both producer and consumer through
'jumpy' markets.
The principle that is being enunei-
ated in the national agricultural gath
ering at Washington, of putting the
farmers business on a year'round
basis, is Of serious Importance.
Through the history of the world the
farmer has been the victim of lean
years and fat years. The story of
Egypt and Joseph was an carly ex-
ample of the value to society of stab
ilizing production. Egypt depended
| for its food on the annual overflow
Of the Nile And the Nile depended
for its water on the rainfall and snow
fall in central Africa. Throughout
the history of Egypt the people had
taken chances on that rainfall. They
lived from hand to mouth, year by
year Each harvest was expected to
produce enough for them to eat during
the following twelve months, with
some grain saved for seed. But if in
any particular year, the harvest was
short, the people starved for a part Of
the year and possibly lacked seed for
the coming season. Then an admin
istrator arose in Egypt who had the
sagacity and foresight to provide
ahead for short years. He laid IN
stocks of grain. He used arbitrary
power to compel the people to pre-
pare themselves as they never hao
done before. He saved, year after
wear, as long as there were surplus
harvests. He refused to permit thf
people to cat up what they did not ac-
tuaHy need, until Egypt possessed
ISurplus. Then came the drought, ant

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6--Fresh
vegetables generally are becoming
more scarce, according to indications
of the market today. This is said to
be due to a large extent to the recent
frosts which damaged lettuce, peas
and other green produce.
The orange market appeared easy
despite reports of frost damages. Lem
ons were firmer and in some instances
higher prices were demanded.
Onions were also firmer and gener
ally higher.
Supplies liberal: Apples, grapefruit,
oranges, bananas, lemons, avacados,
potatoes, sweets, lettuce, spinach, to-
matoes.

Worthless as Fertilizer Producer.

WASHINGTON. - Charles L. Parsons,
consulting chemist and former techni-
cal adviser to the government on nj
trate fixations, said before the house
military committee that Henry Ford,
any other person or company would
lose their last penny" before they
ever produced commercial fertilizers
nitrate plant No. 2, at Muscle Shoals,
Ala. The plant, which has cost the
government about S69,000,OOO, the
ness said, was designed to be operat-
ed only by the cyanamid process Of
nitrate fixation, an obsolete method,
and was worthless as fertilizer pro-
ducer.
The cyanamid process was con-
demned by Mr.. Parsons as obsolete
and economically impossible, having
been superseded, he declared, by the
Haber improved methods. 1t was his
conviction. he. added. that the Muscle
Shoals plant could not be redesigned
to produce commercial fertilizers.
This judgment was based, he explain
ed, on a thorough investigation of the
Cyanamid plants in Europe, many Of
which were being closed down by
bankrupt operators while others al
ready had gone out of business be-
cause they could not compete with es-
tablishments using the Haber improve
ments.

REFUSE TO ENTER MEETING
UNITED STATES DECLINES TO
PARTICIPATE IN MEETING
IN GENOA.
America "Should Not Unnecessarily
Become Involved in European
Political Affairs"

Washington. - The American gov
ernment declined the invitation to
participate in the international eco
nomic and financial conference to be
held at Genoa next month, on the
ground that the conference is not
primarily an economic one, but is
rather conference Of political
character in which the government
of the United States could not help
fully participate"
The refusal to enter the conference
was contained in a note from Secre-
tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci, OF
Italy, who had presented the invita-
ton on behalf of his government
which in turn was acting for the al
lied ambassadors. Ambassador Riccl
Immediately communicated the text
of the note to his government.
The note stated that while the
American people were desirous OF
suitably assisting in the recovery OF
the economic life OF Europe, the
United States government could not
be unmindful of the clear convic-
ton" Of the people that they should
not unnecessarily become involved
in European political questions"
The conviction was expressed that
all considerations of economic re-
vival would be futile without the es-
tablishment in Russia Of the essen
tial bases Of production outlined in
the public declaration Of the Ameri-
can government on March rs, 1921,
and urged that adequate action" to
that end be taken on the port of
those chiefly responsible for Rus
sia's present economic disorder"
In that connection it was also
pointed out in the note that the
American government believes moth
ing should be done looking to the OBJ
tanning Of economic advantages in
Russia which would impair the just
opportunities of Others" and warning
was issued that. fair and equal eco
nomic opportunity in Russia was ex-
pected by the United States in the
interest of Russia itself as we'll as
that of all other powers.
In conclusion the note expressed
hope that progress would be made
in preparing the way for "the even
tual discussion and settlement Of the
fundamental economic and financial
questions relating to European re-
cuperation which press for solution
The position Of the American gov
ernment as set forth in the commu-
nication handed Ambassador Ricci Is
that participation by the United
States in any general European eco
nomic conference is impossible at this
time. owing to the complete failure
of European nations in the view OF
the American government to adopt
proper measures for remedying the
ravages of war and for insuring the
stabilization of their economic life.
