WIESBADEN CONFERENCE.

The Loucheur- Rathenau negotiation
differed In several ways from preced-
ing conferences. In the first place 1t
did not introduce political or diplo-
matte factors but dealt primarily with
the practical solution OF an economic
problem. The machinery it set up will
operate Independently OF the Versailles
treaty, but always under the authority
of the Reparations CommiSsion, II
might in fact be described as a sub
sidiary company under the supervis-
ion M the Preparations Commission.
Loucheur and Rathenau are both
what 1t was once the custom In this
country 10 call captains OF industry.
Both of them have been at the head OF
fyreat industrial enterprises and had
been out OF politics until the war call
ed them into service. They met
agreed promptly as to the general out
line and principles; and. from then on
the agreement was built up not be-
tween contesting governments but by
| technical staffs on both sides who, II
seems fair 10 say, had a common pur-
pose In view. Being merely modifi-
cation or application OF terms such as
the treaty authorizes, the agreement
does not have 10 be submitted TO either
parliament for ratification.

FARMERS COOPERATIVE BILL.

The enactment of the farmers CO.
operative marketing bill will figure
next autumn as an administration
achievement, although the passage
OF the bill Is due entiNely 10 the
menace of the farm bloc in Con-
gress. However. II Is a measure like
iy 70 help agriculture In legitimate
ways along cooperative lines and
whoever helped to enact II will be en-
titled to credit.
The danger OF monopoly prices In
foodstuffs seems remote, for the es-
tablishment OF truly monopolistic
combinations in farm products is
practically impossible. When. In war
time. or soon after, sugar rose TO a
fantastic hight foreign sugar came In
to our markets from all over the
world, and nothing could have kept II
out. In the same way foodstuffs would
pour into America from everywhere in
case any attempt were made TO control
the market for the sake Of extortion-
ate profits. Aside from these con-
siderations the bill provides that the
associations shall not deal in prod
ucts of non-members TO an amount
greater in value than such as ar'
handled by them for MEMBERS
which is an antimonopoly safeguard
But the measure would be stronger
on the antimonopoly side IL the secre,
tary Of agriculture were not vesteC
with the power TO initiate charges o
alleged violation OF the act. That off
cial is always strongly In sympath.
with agricultural interests. his nomi
nation invariably being made by tn
President to please the farmers OF tn
country. The proper control OF Law
enforcement Is in the department o
, justice. This provision OF the bil
seems indefensible In principle. how
ever, 1t may work in practice.-Spring

no NEED OF REFERENDuM.


Mayor Harvey suggests a citywide
referendum on the proposition to bot-
row a million dollars. through bond
issue, for the purpose OF erecting the
modern school. COMFORTING TO the
Detroit platoon system. which is con-
ceded to be imperatively needed in our
city. AT least additional school ia
c,lities arc needed. and there is a large
amount OF public opinion favorable to
the Inauguration In our community OF
the system that has proved so popular
and so valuable In the large and pro-
grcssive Michigan metropolis.
The chief objection to the referen-
dun. however. Ia that 1t Is not in con-
sonance with the representative form
OF government which the Fathers OF
our Republic deemed It best TO estab-
lish. and which has been generally
followed by States and municipalities.

ties. Upon the people is placed the

leaving the latter free to exercise their

are insensihle to manifest public opin-

interests but their own In administer

There are States and communities
