- FERTILIZATION Of farm-crop
prices, determination of a ma.
tional policy regarding agri-
~ culture as the great basic in
dustry and its relation to all other
Industry. so that the food supply OF
the country will be based upon well
co-ordinated economic principles
that is the big idea behind the con-
ference Of more than 800 picked
leaders from all parts of the country
gathering here tomorrow.
There seems to have been a pretty
general misconception regarding this
great conference on agriculture,
called by Secretary Henry c. Wallace
at the direction of President Harding.
It is not to consider measures to tide
over the present emergency, nor for
the consideration Of legislation to
give temporary relief. While many
men of many minds-some known
faddists, many with pet schemes. q few
radical theorists-have been invited
to join in the conference, so that the
united minds Of those most deeply
interested in the future welfare of
the agricultural industry may con-
slider all sorts of proposals and win
now out what is really best and help
full. freak conclusions and amazing
programs will not result.
The inner council, cooperating with
Secretary Wallace on preparations for
this conference, know pretty we'll
the mind Of the people throughout
the country and the economies Of the
present situation and the principles
that must be followed for safe and
sane agriculture and for national
protection through an assured do
nestle food supply. While every
group and every line Of thought will
be given an opportunity to present
its views, it can safely be predicted
that the mind of the conference will
be focused principally upon three re-
forms, or improvements, which the
conference will in all likelihood de-
eide to work for: 50
Better knowledge Of foreign. mar
kets.
More knowledge regarding home
production and consumption.
More economic delivery of farm
products to consumers. r
This knowledge would be aSbasis
for real crop adjustment, tending to
stabilize prices where there has been
very uneconomic price f1uctuation. In
this way the farm producer, repre-.
senting the great basic. industryloS
the country, could be assured of .

Fisheries Bureau Contributes
To Rehabilitation of Europe

The United States bureau of fish
cries is participating in the rehabilf-
tation of Europe. During the long
years of recent warfare and OF des-
perate postwar conditions. the in
land waters Of central Europe were
practically stripped of edible fish.
Every fish, game or otherwise. that
would take fly or bait, or could be
shared or trapped in any manner,
legal or illegal, went into the frying
pan, irrespective Of size. Except in
some of the larger and deeper lakes
and rivers, there remained not even
a nucleus Of edible aquatic life.
To await the natural increase Of
such a meager stock would take too
long, while fish cultural stations lack
material with which to; propagate.
Therefore appeals for assistance have
como to the bureau of fisheries here
from Germany. Austria. Switzerland
and France. particularly the eastern
part, and the bureau. as a matter Of
international courtesy. has responded
to the best Of its ability.
During the past week consign-
ment of eggs of the American lake
trout (salvelinus christivomer) has
gone to Switzerland. This fish grows
to a large size in extensive waters
like the great lakes, and has thrived
and become . favorite in the ieep
lakes Of the Alps. a..
Yesterday cablegram arrived
from Holland asking for eggs Of the
Chinook salmon. . Pacific genus. In
spite Of the fact that the Rhine.
which empties through Holland. has
been q commercial and industrial
river for ages. up until the war
enough care was exercised 80 that
the Atlantic salmon could ascend the
river up to the foothills Of the Alps.
They have been almost exterminated.
however, and the Dutch authorities
are now .dssirous Of trying out the
larger and more: valuable Pactnc

"H HE time of reckoning for the
war profiteer is at hand.
Prosecution" of the war by
Attorney General Daugherty
Is about to begin. 1t is a gigantic
task. . and the Attorney General
expects the job to consume the
next three years. during which
the Department of Justice will be
one of the busiest branches of the
government. -,
Already extensive preparations
are under way for delving into
thousands Of wartime contracts
and acting on hundreds Of claims
against the government growing
out Of the war. Thorough investi-
cation of these claims is prom
ised by the department, apd the
inquiries into many are already
under way.
Aid along with the running
down of those who profiteered at
the expense of the government
during the war is the campaign
to seek out and punish those who
are profiteering today at the ex-
pense- of the consuming public and
thus infiicting unwarranted- hard
ships and interfering, with the
processes of economic readjust-
ment.
1t is partly because of this great
volume Of work facing the Attor-
ney General in the federal courts
of the country that he was
prompted to appeal to Congress
to authorize the appointment Of
new federal judges to help clear
up the crowded dockets.
Not the least among the wor-
ries Of the Attorney General is the
problem Of prosecutions under the
Volstead act. Although most Of
the load of investigation of sus-
pected violations of the dry act
has been lifted from the shoul-
ders Of the federal attorneys
throughout the country by the
prohibition enforcement bureau,
the task of prosecution is in itself
q gigantic one.

Events of the next few months
are expected to determine whether
the administration will be forced
to announce definite and more
stringent policy to govern deal
ing with the ultra radicals. whose
pernicious propaganda has been
steadily increasing.
Warning that the movement
launched by the third internation-
ale at Moscow to gain control Of
the trade and Industrial unions
throughout the world is meeting
with marked success in so far as
it relates to syndicalist unions in
the United States has been sound

his judgment, the determination
of a strict policy with the stamp-5
ing out of communism in. the
United States as its object. The.
administration, it is known. is op-'
posed to severe measures in deal
ing with these radicals unless they
so far abuse American privileges
of free speech that their presence
becomes an absolute menace.

Permanent Program for Agriculture
Chief Purpose of Conference Here

women have been called here to par
ticipate. The women are especially
interested in having a standard of
living maintained paralleling that
they could enjoy In the city or town,
and in affording educational advan-
tages for the farmers family equal
to that OF the manufacturers family
or the merchants family.
To carry forward as q national pol
icy that which will place the farmer
on this plane of high standard Of 1iy-
ing, balanced with what he could
have by expenditure Of the same en-
ergy II he quit the farm and went to
live and work in the city, will require
besides a labor return an interest re-
turn which will make farm business
a safe investment. The best statis-
tics to date show that the farm busi-
ness as a whole paid less than 81
per cent over a period of years.
The Department of Agriculture has
just completed a survey, based on an
anlysis Of the census returns, which
shows that the rented farms owned
by. non-resident owners pay the
least.
Secretary Wallace invited to join
In the conference neople representing
every shade of thought regarding
agricultural policy. He knows that
there are gathered here a whole flock
Of people. each with his own pet
scheme or hobby. whom he has asked
to sit on the inside and make their
various proposals. He did this so
that every well-thought-out proposal
can be considered by group of able
men and all that is good considered
for the stability of the industry.

For example, crop insurance is 60
ings to be discussed at length in the
conference. Theodore H. Price has
written. i'm; open letter to Secretary
Wallace, urging that the government
should establish a crop insurance bu-
resu as "the true socialism,. It can
pretty safely be said right now that
governmental crop insurance hasn't

lished az, q result OF the gathering
here. Tie agricultural economists,

ATLANTIC COAST TRADE.
Heavy Shipments Between Canada
and United States.

Atlantic Canada ranked third on the
basis Of foreign trade with the United
States for the first ten months OF 1891.
according to a report just issued by
the Department Of Commerce. During
that period this region accounted for
IA per cent Of our total imports and
exports. Nearly all of our water
borne commerce with Atlantic Canada
has its United States origin or des-
tination on the great lakes. For the
ten months covered American ships
carried 81 per cent Of the imports and
81 Der cent Of the exports. -

individual cases as possible, ana
the Department of Justice has at
tempted to take up each case IN
dividually,, in fear that some in
justice might result from gen.
eral policy for dealing with the
cases: but, it is pointed out, II
abuses Of this leniency continue.
only one course will be left open,
and this is the application of stern
measures. -.
Communist parties in this coun-
try, Mr. Daugherty has learned,
have united to more effectively
carry on propaganda. He has also.
been convinced that their policy
is to endeavor to gain control OF
the labor organizations through
the control OF the executive COM.
mitte9s Or other governing bodies.
The Attorney General has also
noted a noticeable effort on the
part of various so-called defense
societies to propagate and carry
on agitation in behalf of the ultra
radicals in the United States.
States. in many instances, have
enacted laws defining and punish
ing criminal anarchy which reach
American citizens as we'll az
aliens. Mr.. Daugherty has point
ed out, whereas the government Is
still bound to follow a law which
limits prosecutions in this respect
to aliens alone. American citizens,
fired by foreign propagandists, in
some cases have been as guilty OF
spreading communistic propaganda
as the foreign born. Figures OBJ
tanned by the Department of JUS
tice show that 427 foreign propa-
gandists of known radical tenden-
cies arrived in the United States
last year. The movements Of these
427 have been carefully watched
and the Department Of Justice in
timately informed Of their activi-
ties.
These propagandists seem to
have been well supplied with
money. and the Attorney General
has beens informed that the
amount of money spent in the
United States by them in exploit
ing Americans and creating inter
est for movements and schemes
entirely foreign to the interests
of the American people has been
considerable, although it cannot
accurately be estimated.
X X X r
Pardons for persons convicted
under the espionage and other acts
whose application took effect during
the war. are still a problem for the
Attorney General. In dealing with
them, as with the communist. he
thus far is known to have taken
up each case individually. Some
still are to be acted upon.
In this connection the release
Of Eugene Debs. socialist leader.
is known to be an experiment
which the administration is care
fully watching. While Debs is de-
clared not to have pledged him.
self to follow any particular course
in his activities since his release,
it is known that he Is aware of
the course which the administra-
ton expects him to follow. His
future behavior and that Of other
prisoners released last Christmas,
it is stated. may be large factors
in the decision Of the administra-
tion II 1t eventually does become
necessary to agree on some def
mite policy toward dealing with
communists.

emphasizes that its sole purpose is to

that the only method of. bringing
about settlement Of the Shantung
question Is that adopted. and he had
strong hopes that this question,
which has been long discussed be-
tween China and Japan, would be
settled in . way satisfactory to the
people Of the United States.

which tried right now to throw this

force somebody's hand, would be
throwing a monkey wrench into a
