An Economic Revolution.

The economic relation of America to Europe
has been radically altered a consequence
Of the war. The consequences of that change
amount to an economic revolution, which
craftsmanship must consider. Before the war
America paid, Europe interest on moneys bor-
rowed from Europe. We paid Europe divi-
dents on huge investments made by two or
three generations of investors in enterprises
here. Much ownership of American concerns
lay in Europe and many mortgages upon Amer~
can undertakings and properties were owned in
Europe. That vast annual sum of indebtedness
to Europe discharged by an excess of ex-
ports from America over imports and by
growing expenditure by American tourists in
Europe. Despite our huge exports of foodstuffs
and raw materials and the immense sums ex-
pended in Europe by Americans abroad, plus
those sent back to Europe by wage-earning i'm
migrants here, we did not in the course of years
imagine to diminish the principal of our debt
to Europe. Indeed we were constantly in the
European money markets for new loans to
finance our expanding requirements, and rich
grew to be, still our dependence upon
Europe grew both in bulk and variety.
That the war inside of two years trans
formed us from debtor to creditor nation,
everybody knows; but few suspect, much less
realize, the profound implications Of the
change which is the greatest and most funda-
mental that has happened to our people since
the independence of the United States was
won. The full effect of all the change
connotes it will require generations time to
realize. However perplexity of concrete kind
confronts us at once. How to trade
with Europe under the new circumstances?
We no longer remit to Europe interest on loans
and dividends on investments. To offset these
liabilities we do not ship food and materials.
The food and materials Europe needs, but she
cannot pay for them with sums owing her here
Worse than that, Europe owes US moneys in
one form or another. And if we proceed to
invest our surplus capital abroad she will be
owing us further sums still. Having no money
on account over here, Europe hasn't the credit
here that she had. Having nothing with which
TO establish credit here, Europe at the moment
can do no more than ask for loans of credit
Nor in the future she Go much better All
she will have to offer is goods of her own pro-
duction to exchange for ours. True Americans
will be spending money travelling in Europe
and immigrants will again be sending money
back to the old country, but such sums will be
about the only money offset Europe will have

Relief in Tariff Deadlock.

AS rule nothing good comes out of leg
islative deadlock, but il reports from Washing
ton to the effect that matters SOON to be
shaping themselves toward deadlock on the
tariff which will prevent the passage of any
tariff bill at the present session are correct, the
country is to be congratulated. The reports state
that a deadlock on the tariff seems certain as the
result of differences of opinion about the
American valuation plan. This is year of
congressional elections and it is safe predic-
ton that congressman will not remain in Wash
ington until late in the fall to pass tariff bill.
Nothing has so overhung the business world
and caused much doubt and uncertainty
during year of great depression and economic
dissatisfaction as the prospect of reactionary
tariff law. Nothing has so hurt US in the eyes
of foreign nations or so tended to discredit our
professions of desire to help in European pro-
gress as the plan to enact something that in
and of itself would indirectly but none the less
really prevent any such participation on our
part. The pending tariff has been like a dis
astrous blight on nearly every policy, domestic
or foreign, that we have initiated during the
past year.
It seems almost too good to be true that
there can be any thought of actually deferring
this measure for another year, but if the
port should prove accurate it will be cause OF
rejoicing on the part of nearly every branch of
the business community with the possible ex-
ception of some small groups of producers who
were expecting to obtain monopoly privileges
under the legislation.

Surgeon as a Reformer.

Can a normal man of good character be
transformed into a criminal by bullet? The
case of Benjamin Buckner, who was sentenced
to life Imprisonment in Illinois for murder,
would seem to indicate that it Buckner
began his term in 1905, and in prison was long
considered as vicious and incorrigible in the
extreme However, the recent removal Of a
bullet from the base of the brain, following the
discovery that years ago he had been shot in
the head, has brought about startling trans
formation. Buckner is now declared to be a
model prisoner, and plea for his release is
pending before the Illinois board of pardons
and paroles
Such cases tend to strengthen the growing
sentiment of opposition to all attempts the
part of the state at retributive justice. This,
be it noted, does not eliminate the necessity for
preventive punishment But the multiplication
OF such cases that Of -Buckner is gradually
creating sentiment that the state should elimi-
nate from it's punishment the element of ac-
ceptable sacrifice to a moral ideal

Fruit Manufacturers.

There appears to be a good deal in a name
after all. The California citrus fruit growers
have developed their methods of production
and distribution that they are called citrus
fruit manufacturers by a writer in the Survey
The principles involved today in the production
of oranges. lemons and grape fruit are prac-
ticaIly the same as those under which the or
binary manufacturing business is carried on.
Nature furnishes the material. In this case
1t is frequently desert land covered with chap
arral, grease wood and cactus. The grower
must attend to irrigation, cultivation, fertiliza-
tino, scientific planting, pruning, fumigation,
smudging, picking. and marketing
Contrary to the ordinary view of fruit-rais-
ing, the business is continuous throughout the
year. The fruit growers problems of finance,
organization and advertising are similar to
those OF his brother manufacturer. He is even
meeting his labor problems today with very
modern interest in housing conditions, in well
fare and education, in AUGMENTATION work
among foreign laborers and other programs
now found in the most enlightened industrial
centers- When fruit growers gardeners and
farmers all over the country have adopted the
same attitude toward their work as the west
ern citrus growers a good many agricultural
handicaps VIII cease to exist

Why It's Muscle Shoals.

For more than a year past Muscle Shoals
has been much in print, but somehow it is not
encountered in a headline to this day without
subdued sense of outrage to some orthograph-
ic principle. The reason. readily enough dis
covered when one chances to consider the as
sociations that cling to the words and ideas
involved, is that every reader dimly feels as he
skins over the paper that what really is
meant is Mussel Shoals. In connection with a
southern river, and particularly with shallow
portion of it, tits no more than natural to sus-
pect that the derivation of the name has to do
with the fresh water bivalve to be found under
such conditions. AS long as this idea is enter
tanned, even unconsciously, Muscle Shoals is
bound to look wrong, to stare at one cut Of
OF proof readers error. Before the debate in
congress goes any farther simple mercy seems
to require an explanation of the origin of this
name in order to lay the ghost that must haunt
the mind of nearly every reader
Muscle Shoals is really Muscle Shoals It
sands of the Warrior river. Instead it goes
hack to the essential elements that makes this
location a matter of national concern, the vast
power resources that can be conserved by
completion OF the project. At this point in the
river there is rapid In which the current is
SO swift that Indians who tried to paddle their
canoes against it were moved to give the name
sstrong water" When the white man came
pushing his canoe westward he was impressed
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-03-01

by the appropriateness of the name. His YER
sion, however. was Muscle Shoals, muscle being
put to the test in effecting passage. Accept
ing an inversion of the original sense one must
confess that the old name will still serve adj
mirably in the new Transformation of the. re-
gion. 1t is no longer to be an obstacle to
human progress, requiring stalwart muscles
to overcome but instead the giant helper of a
southern empire. 1t will put the muscle OF
millions of strong men behind the blows OF
farmers and the tools of mechanics. Has engi-
neering work any greater miracle of transform
alton than this? Truly, Muscle Shoals, in its
two implications, the new reminding OF the
old, is a name of unsurpassed romance.

An Incorrect Diagnosis.

An eastern commentator, who tells us he
once worked as a hand on a western farm and
who admits he knows all about farming, says
the only thing the matter with the farmers is
that they got. to specializing in land values
with the money they made while in the war
and like the manufacturers and other business
men who over-extended themselves they are
now paying the fiddler. The price-fixing which
cut the value Of the farmers wheat in two, but
which gave everybody else cost-plus for his
stun. is to this farm expert inconseQuential
detail that he does not mention it. And Sec
rotary Wallace points out that more than
10 per cent of the cultivated land changed
hands, while this commentators orgy of land
speculations by farmers in progress But
what are facts to a farmer who knows all
about farming?

TELLS SYMPTOMS
OF CORN POISON
GERMS IN SWINE,

Urbana, IlL-Corn poisoning in
swine is characterized by its sud
den onset, loss of appetite, slob-
berlng, stiffness, thupping and
listlessness, according Is DR.. Rob-
.ert Graham of the University of
Illinois laboratory of animal hus-
bandry and one of the countrys
foremost botuIinus authorities.
Animals affected refuse to Craze
and remain in the pens said Dr..
Graham.
"All ages may be affected, but
the disease is more severe in nurs-
ing pigs than in mature animals.
The number of animals affected in
a herd is dependent upon the
amount of poisonous feed, while
the course of the disease is doubt
less related to the virulency of the
toxin. If other pathologic condi-
lions, namely, hog cholera and
parasitic disease, are eliminated,
saline purgation will be found
helpful. Some animals sporadical-
ly affected have been injected with
anti-toxin, but the trials in the
field have been SO limited that no
deductions can be made of it's
value
Experimental tests conducted
upon swine clearly indicate the
prophylActic value of antitoxin.
Sporadic cases of botulism in
swine have been observed in herds
whereins manifest symptoms were
not observed in the remaining
animals.
THE danger of feeding certain
cure-all mineral mixtures to swine
cannot be entirely disregarded in
view of the results obtained in es7
aiming these preparations bacter-
iologically."
