THE CANDIDATES. PURSE.

In reply to demands that the COM
mittee of which he is chairman should
act on corrupt practice bills that
have been pending before 1t for three
months, Senator Spencer explains
that too many members of the COM
mittee have been absent from Wash
ington. One said he didn't even know
he was a member. This throws some
light on the degree Of eagerness with
which the question OF restricting cam
paign expenditures has lately been
attacked.
Though many primaries have been
held, some. Senators insist that action
be taken before the autumn elections
at least Senator Pomerene is re-
ported as urging that $4,000 be made
the limit for a campaign fund.
Any specific figure would work to
the disadvantage Of some States. In
Navada, where there were in 1926
about $4,000 voters to be solicited

ECONOMIC IDIOCY.

The government crop reports for
August are all that the most ardent
optimist could desire.
But without a European market,
what do the American farmers think
they are going to do with their g.
600, 600, 600 bushels Of corn, their
surplus on the sale of which their
500, 600. 900 bushels Of wheat and all
the rest? What is to become Of the
prosperity depends?
While they are engaged In raising
bumper crops the Congress Of the
United States is engaged In framing
tariff to exclude European goods from
the American markets and hence ex-
clude American food products from
the European markets. No matter how
much Europe needs American food it
cannot buy American food unless 1t
can sell what 1t makes. 1t has no gold
and even II 1t had. gold Is the last
thing that the United States needs or
desires.
With an assured European market
the indicated crop for 1922 would mean
complete return OF prosperity for
the American farmer. The ready sale
OF tho surplus abroad would stabilize
prices at home and American agricul-
ture would be again on It's feet. But
Congress refuses TO have II that way,
strangely enough. tho agricultural
bloc Is voting with the representatives
of monopoly schedules to cut agri-
cultures throat.
The limit Of economic idiocy has
been reached in the Fordney- McCum-
Der schedules, and the August CROP
report helps to emphasize 1t. Here is
a country whose agricultural prosper
ity depends wholly on the opportunity
to market its surplus abroad. and yei
a Republican Congress has consecratet
Itself to the task of destroying thai
market by making It impossible fol
Europe to pay for food In the only
commodities 1t has with which to buy
food. 1t Ii precisely AZ II q manufac
turing establishment divided its en-
ergies equally between speeding III

AN INDEFENSIBLE ACT.

The action OF certain bodies
Of railroad trainmen, notably on
Chicago belt line and at
points on the Santa Fe Rail-
road. In abandoning their work and
their trains summarily because SOL
diers were called out to protect rail-
road property against mob violence, is
utterly indefensible. 1t will only serve
to turn public sentiment moro strong

is infallibls. even ridiculous. They
are not endangered to the slightest
extent by this situation al long a.
they attend to their work and respect

It u no wonder the chief oficers
OF their organizations were quick to
condemn the unwarranted course
taken by these employees and TO ofici-
ally order them TO return to their
posts. Some OF them, it is said, aban-
doned through passenger trains in
desert sections OF tho Southwest, car

FAKE SLAVERY. REAL MURDER

"A country may suffer hardships
and privations.' says Mr.. Samuel
Gompers, and survive; but a country
in which slavery has been reinsti-
tuted-then freedom IL gone and the
republic Is doomed
In saying that, Mr.. Gompers spoke
truly. in one respect more truly and
pertinently than he realized or in
tended. But so far as his purpose
went In saying II no was. in the
phrase OF the street, simply playing
to the gallery. He was speaking about
tho coal strike. and had been saying
that no preferred a continuance Of
the coal shortage rather than having
coal miners forced back into slavery"
He ought to know that there Ia no
thought OF forcing the miners or any
body else back into slavsry" He
ought TO know the miners before the
strike were not in slavery or anything
remotely resembling 1t. Tho intima-
ton that they were was a contempt
ihle piece Of demagogy Of the cheapest
kind.
Tho only peril Of slavery that is
discernible in the United States today
Is that presented by Mr.. Gompers
himself and the organization Of which
he II the head. in trying to make al
American workingmen subject to THEN

BRITAIN's NEAR EAST POLICY.

Premier Lloyd Georges statement In
tho House OF Commons recently leaves
no doubt as to Great Britain's atti-
tudc toward the situation created by
Greece's axGressIvencss In tho Near
East. Greece Is not being supported by
the British Government. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Lloyd George made It clear
that the Allies would defend CONSTANT
noplc and limit the territory to be
given to Greece to Smyrna and the
two adjoining vilayets which nre pre-
dominantly Greek in population.
This. he declared. was In keeping
with the British determination not to
leave Christian mnorities In Asia
Minor at the mercy OF the Turks. The
British problem In the Near East Is
how to protect Christians. guard the
route to India, maintain her mandates
in Mesopotamla and Palestine and
keep the Nationalist from gaining
control OF Constantinople without
abandoning Great Britain's traditional
friendship for tho Turks and without
permitting France to gain too much
from her new double role as n friend
OF the Angora Government and pro
tector of tho Christians In Syria.
1t is not an easy problem for Grea
Britain. and the action OF Greece hat
greatly complicated the situation. II
one sense. however. the government o
Constantine has defeated It's own pur
pose by going too far. Neither Grea
Britain. France nor Italy can tolerat
the further expansion OF Greece In tn
Near East. Under tho magic OF Vent
xclos' eloquent diplomacy the Allie
gave Greece almost all she asked a
Paris. They drew the line, however
at turning over Constantinoplc to tn
modern Constantine. II he is nc
utterly stupid he will end the cost
military operations and devote himse1
to consolidating Greece's large gain,
without trying to make Greater Greco
dominant in the Near East.-Brookly

MARKET COMPLAINT.

Editor Every Tvening:-As c'u-
zen and taxpayer of this city ana sta'o

ters and peddlcrs OF produce from potn
In and out OF our State. who do not
nav license, but have all and more
privileges than our merchants who pay

Sometime ago tho Street and Sewer
Department OF Wilmington passed res
olutions TO the effect that all mer-
chants on the market streets OF King,
Madison and Lincoln must remove an
benches, stands. etc, inside the puiia-
Ing lines; but they allow these squat

our streets, and leave their Nth be-
hind them for us TO clean up and dis

Today in passing through the mark
cts. saw a great many farmers ana
squatters from outside OF our state,
principally from Maryland and Penn
sylvaniA, using trucks without n com
mercial license issued by the State OF
Delaware; also our own farmers and
truckers using pleasure cars for bust
ness purposes. Isn't this a violation q
the laws OF our State? And haven't We
