BRITISH VIEW FAVORS
AMERICAN ARBITRATION
Likes Suggestion Hoover Join

New York Herald Bureau,
London, Aug. eS.
When James NJ Cox. former Demo-
cratic candidate for President. was In
formed that dispatches from Washing
ton indicated there was little likelihood
of the Administration sending Herbert
Hoover over to take place AS member
of the Reparations Commission, as Mr.
Cox had suggested in his statement
Saturday, he said he was sorry II such
was the case. but that he still felt that
1t was the best solution.
British opinion. as expressed in the
newspapers, is solidly behind Mr.. Cox's
suggestion. and even favors the German
suggestion that the differences between
the Germans and French be arbitrated
by an American committee. Frank A.
Vanderlip. who is mentioned in this
connection, indicated that he had not
heard OF 1t officially.
One story from Berlin said that Chan
cellor Wirth was ready to accept Mr.
Vanderlip as sort of receiver general
in charge OF German assets pending a
final reparations settlement. Mr.. VAN
derip in commenting on this said: "One
man could hardly act as the receiver
for 60,00O.Oc0 people. That Is an AFFAIR
for a commission
The British Government is emphasiz-
ing that 1t is more or less washing its
hands of the reparations crisis. Premier
Lloyd George devoted the day to the
consideration of reports from the COM
mittee studying the possibilities of re-
viving British trade and relieving un-
employment. Despite the Importance of
the reparations situation to that prob
lem, 1t is stated that the committee has
endeavored to find ways OF relieving
the domestic crisis without reference
to the continent 1t is felt that even
IL settlement Is reached 1t Will not
now be in time to soften the hunger OF
British workmen during the winter.

OOO.0o in buildings, $4,000. 900, :
600 in live stock, and 81, 900, 000,-
600 in farm implements total
of $78, 900, 600, 900 of productive
wealth.
They produce 70 per cent of all
our raw material, 81 per cent of
oil our food. furnish SO per cent
of the raw materials for our
clothing, pay 40 per cent of our
taxes, and Sc per cent of the
freight. Yet he only receives 16
to % per cent of the nations in
come.
In normal times the farmers
buy AZ per cent OF the merchan-
disc and manufactured products
of the country. The farmer gets
only 81 per cent of the consumers
dollar paid for his products.
Such conditions as these are
driving the farmer from the farm
to the cities and towns, and in
creasing unemployment, The
high prices to the consumer
causes the laborers in industry to
demand an impossible wage of
the manufacturer. and az q result
the factories are in some instances
closed, causing thousands to go
hungry. while the prices the
farmers are receiving for their
products will hardly justify har-
vesting when grown.
The dehation of prices Of farm
products brought the purchasing
power of the farmer from 1888
in 1919 to 81. 10 in 1920. In other
words, the farmers purchasing
power for two years was reduced
$40, 900, 900. 600, equivalent to
81. TOO per farm.
The producing and selling pow
err is with the farmer, and the
buying and consuming power is
with the consumer. Thess two
classes are allowing 10 per cent
of our total population to control
the most vital necessities of our
existence.
AS farmers and consumers, we
know where the trouble is. 1t is
in neglect and indifference to
marketing. Immediately after
harvesting our crops we dump
them on the market, glut it, and
thereby reduce the price. In
stead of doing this we should put
our surplus in warehouses, and
with our warehouse receipts bor-
row money if we need it, and
then market our products on an
orderly market. But we must
have provisions for banks to &C.
cept our warehouse receipts as
collateral. We cannot get these
things by individual effort, but
we can by cooperative effort.
Our national government realizes
that credit facilities for the farm
er have been neglected. and legis-
lation is now in prospect to cor
rect this trouble, to put US in al
position to help ourselves, and
that's all we ought to ask or ex-
pect.
Farmers must realize that they
must DO what every other class
has done develop cohesion and
cooperation in their endeavors.
We have delayed too long and
we are paying the penalty for
hardness The sooner we realize
that to be successful farmers we
must have business ability as
well as knowledge how to pro-
duce crops and live stock, the
sooner we will remedy our
troubles. We have neglected the
marketing end of our business.
We have not worked together for
laws that are necessary to put US
on an equal footing with other
classes in the matter of finances
and marketing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Word
OF the court action begun in Chi
cago had a bombshell effect among
labor leaders generally but there
were many expressions Of surprise
among government officials them
selves. The secret Of the contem-
plated action had been well kept.
Railroad union leaders declare
emphatically that regardless Of
the Injunction they will not
change their plans in any way that
would conflict with the success OF
their strike plans.
Ipquirers were referred to
President Harding's recent ad-
dress to Congress in which ne
pledged his administration to use
all of the power Of the govern
ment to maintain transportation
and sustain the rights Of men to
work.
President Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor asked
for all the details about the
Chicago proceedings before he was
willing to comment, but he lndi-
Gated that the federation would
set before the public before the
day was over its opinion Of the
use Of the injunction In connection
with strike the magnitude OF
that now in progress.
Officials Of labor organizations
in the meantime pointed out that
there had been a "bushel Of in
functions" granted to railroads
against local strike organizations,
which they asserted had IN no way
interfered with the effectiveness nt
the strike. The shop men, accord
ing to the labor view, are not en-
gagged In unlawful action and can
not be forced by injunctions to go
back to work.
Members of the Senate and
House were slow to comment, but
Chairman Cummins of the Senate
interstate commerce committee
said was one OF those who had
been consulted about the move.
He said that in the present cir
cumstances "any move that will
help keep the railroads In opera
tion has my approval"

Reports were current In Fair

been smallpox IN the Watts House
for more than a month but that
the place had not been Guaranteed
An investigation disclosed, how.

the house had been quarantined
until several days ago and that the

not Guaranteed, however, have
been free TO go and come as they

Persons who have passed the
Watts House claim that they have
noticed no quarantine signs and
have also complained that the oc.
cupants of the house have been fire..

home.
According to DR., L. C. Davis, who
has been attending the cases in
both the Pestle and Moore famI.
lies, "the quarantine sign has been
at the entrance OF the house ever
since the case was first reported,
five or six weeks ago." Doctor
Davis also expressed the belief
that the case had been kept quiet
by DR.. ]. A. Jamison, city health
officer, because he thought that
It would hurt business in Fair.
