UNITED STATES WILL NOT PAR
TlclPATE ANY MORE THAN
AT GENOA.
SussDoRFF is MENTIONED
u. S. Would Take Part In Any Work
o. Commission Of Economy and
Financial Experts, Regard
less Of Russia With Pol
itica Out.

Washington. - While not actively
participating in the adjourned Russian
conference called to meet at The
Hague next month, the United States
will have an observer on the job at
all times. Just as Ambassador Child
kept in closest touch with develop
ments at Genoa.
While the logical man for the list
ening post at The Hague would be
Mr.. Child, 1t is more likely that Louis
A. Sussdorff. first secretary of lega-
tion and charge d'affaires will be the
American official observer. The fact
that we have no minister at The
Hague for the present, of course, may
cause Secretary OF State Hughes to
make departure from the procedure
followed at Genoa.
Secretary Hughes, however, estab-
lished a precedent at Genoa by leav-
Ing American informal representation
to our highest diplomatic representa-
tive in the country in which the con-
ference was held. II Ambassador Child
were sent to The Hague it would
amount to special representation, and
the United States has declined pre-
liminary invitation to send such a
representative. a
In view of the fact that the legal
staff at The Hague headed by Mr..
Snssdorff have had much more expert
elce in practical diplomacy than Mr..
Child. despite his higher rank, the
belief generally expressed here is that
the State Department will be kept
fully advised.
The United States will not partici-
pate more actively at The Hague than
at Genoa unless the conference there
determines to institute such an expert
economic investigation as suggested
by France and approved on various oc-
casions by the State Department
Even IL the soviet delegates do not
alter their position-during The Hague
meeting the United States could still
consistently participate in the work
OF a commission of economic and H.
nancial experts which would not touch
political questions in any way but
confine its activities to an inquiry
into actual economic conditions in the
great Slav empire and the remedies
required to start the country on the
road toward reconstruction.
American participation, however,
unquestionably would depend upon the
attitude OF Russia toward such an
expert inquiry.
II the Moscow authorities are pre-
pared to give such commission carte
blanche and agree to facilitate its in
vestigations rather than an attempt
to hamper them in any way, American
participation is assured. Otherwise
the United States will not take part.

MISSISSIPPI HAPPENINGS

In illustration OF the possibilities
OF Mississippi soil, when intelligent
and progressive management is appIi-
ed, is shown in the announcement OF
the Grand Champion Corn Club prize
for last season, which was awarded to
Lewis Fortner OF Yokena, Warren
County. Fortner produced 1858 bu-
shells of corn on one acre of land at
a cost of 14.2 cents per bushel. This
is not a maximum yield OF corn in this
state, and is of course not an average
but IT serves to show what industry
proper seed selection and fertiliza
will do.

BUSINESS BUILT ON CONFIDENCE.
Every reputable business il built upon

Every reputable business is built upon con-
dencc. Destroy that confidence, and in nine
cases out of ten You have destroyed the business.
The Attorney General of the United States
should be very careful that what he says should
not tend to destroy the confidence Of the ulti-
mate consumers in the retailers of the land. IN
less he has the very strongest Of evidence for
maing such statements. And in his recent at
tacks upon the retailers as a class the Attorney
General has had no such evidence.
As O matter of fact, the retailer has suffered
cruelty the last twelve months. Very few have
made more than a normal profit; many nave
made no profit at all; many have suffered severe
losses. Prices have been cut to rock bottom,
that is. rock bottom so far as costs were con-
ccrned. OF course there are some lines in which
prices are still entirely too high, doubtless, but
In such cases the retailer Is not at fault. He has
cut his profit TO the bone in order to sell goods.

automatically keeps the retailer within bounds.
He needs no warning from the Attorney
General of the United States TO cut his profits.
His competitors see that he does that. or they
get the business away from him. There are bad
retailers and good retailers, of course. just as
there are bad men and good ones in every other
line. But take them as a class. and they stack
up with the best in every community.
As a matter { fact, they are the best in
every community.
AS a matter of fact, they are the strength OF
the community. They pay the taxes, they con-

that the best people In any community do. The
community welfare is their welfare, and selfish
ness alone would keep them operating On .

4BETTER ROADS. A REALITY.

The internal development of the country
has slowed down, it is often said, no new rail-
roads are being built, and surplus capital is 60
ing into other enterprises. This, IL is explained,
il why industry has turned It's attention to
foreign trade.
These industrial and business seers have
overlooked an industry that Is today, and prob
ably will be for many years, the greatest of all.
The building of highways il referred to. Though
there is now little construction of new rail lines
highway building IS proceeding on an unprc-
cedented scale and absorbing an enormous
amount Of capital. The internal development
Of the country goes unchecked, but the taxpay-
ers are the investors now, and their dividends
are not calculated in percentage but In service.
About 100000 men were employed in the
construction of federal-aid roads last year-a
greater number than were employed in the steel
industry or the autnobile business. Road build
ing is now one Of the greatest of the national
Industries. T~wenty-eight thousand miles of
federal-aid roads have been completed or wokr
done on them during the present fiscal year.
This new industry VIII continue to flourish
for many years, for there Is not a section of
the country. however well supplied with rail
lines, that has all the improved highways that
IL needs.

GOING UP I'm EUROPE.

Americans see in the new world. as Amer
lea is sometimes called. much that has been
transplanted from the old and still bears the
marks of its old-world origin They are not
surprised at these things because it is from
these old-world origins that the new world came
into existence.
Indeed they take NO little pride IN being
able TO adapt all this material to their purposes.
to fuse and merge all these racial clements and
ideals into the one great deal of Americanism
In this way we have given Europe many things
the advantage of which was readily apparent
to transatlantic peoples. They have taken over
the telephone. the telegraph. the %airplanc, the
steamboat. and many kinds of machinery first
constructed in America. And the old world Is
the less old for such innovations.
But they have proclaimed vigorously against
the introduction Of American sk~yscrapers. Age
old traditions and deeply cherished customs
have held out against this distinctly American
institution. Whenever in the past in London
or Paris or Berlin the proposal was made for
skyscrapers. It was considered as one might
consider the proposal of a trip to Mars. II
wasn't practicable, they said.
Now comes word from one European cap
ital that the building permit for a 20-story sky
scraper has been granted and that the work OF
erection is to be begun at once. A lack of office
space in the business section of the city has
made it necessary to do what we in Americs
found inevitable long ago. And so another old
world tradition 10 overthrow. Americas pro-
grcssive spirit has one more achievement to Its
credit.
This TRANSMISSION OF new world ideals into
the old must be accepted as a part of the worlds
progress. It is one more evidence that differ
ences once thought permanent are disappearing
one by one When he looks in days to come or
his changed skyline the European will be re,
minded of the fact that a good deal of European
progress is Made in America.
