T LLOYD GEORGE seems honestly
IL determined both to preserve the
peace Of Europe and to satisfy the
trade demands Of the British, which
latter are thus expressed by Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead: "England's
desperate economic condition, her de,
pendence upon world trade as the only
means of sustaining her life blood,
make imperative the resumption of po-
lltical and commercial relations with
soviet Observation-Disclosures the charac-
ter Of the government the Russians
choose to adopt" In his eagerness for
these results, and perhaps coerced by
political conditions at home, the pre-
mier lays on France the blame for the
threatened failure of the conference;
and he Is volubly supported in that by
the English financial expert" John
Maynard Reyes, who, according to the
Paris press. is In the pay of group of
Berlin bankers. At this distance one
is rather inclined to accept the view
of the New York Tribune, which says:
1.-THE Francophobes and the Teuto-
philes are the real factor threatening
disruption at Genoa"
Berlin dispatches say diplomatic re-
lations between Germany and Russia
Will be resumed at once. Prof. A.
Bernhard Wiedenfeld will be the Ger
man ambassador In Moscow and Leo
mid Krassln the Russian ambassador in
Berlin.

THE hundredth anniversary of the

FEDERAL aid for the upbuilding
1 and development Of the American
merchant marine Is given approval by
the American Farm Bureau federation,
which has wired President Harding as
follows:
"While opposed to any subsidy on
principle, we realize the necessity for
developing the American merchant ma
rlne as naval auxiliary and as an
agent In the development Of foreign
trade. We approve aid temporarily
until our flag can be established on
the high seas, but no longer. Subsidies,
like tariffs, should be flexible, and not
continue after industry becomes self
supporting. If subsidy be supported
on naval grounds IL is essential that
merchant ships be available and used
for training of naval reserves"
Just now our merchant marine is
engaged In a little rate war with the
Lamport & Holt line Of Great Britain,
which slashed passenger rates TO
South America. Chairman Lasker Of

cut below the Lamport & Holt rate

BLACK CANYON PRIOR AND WORTAER CLAIM

The delay of the government IL
carrying out it's contract with the
Emmett Irrigation District to build
the Black Canyon dam and give relief
to \ highly improved and productive
body of land has stirred up proteSts
from many sources in adjacent ter
rItary against the injustice.
The leading adietorial in Sunday
Statesman presented the matter IN an
able, clear and forceful light. The
article follows:
Speaking of reclamation IN Idaho
what has happened to the Black Can
yon project?
The Emmett Irrigation district has
22,000 acres in cultivation and an
ample water right in the natural flow
of the Payette river. It's directors
have bound itself by contract to the
federal government to guarantee the
cost of a dam which viii raise the
river waters high enough so that the
present roundabout hillside flume, in
adequate, expensive to maintain and
each year IN leave the fer
tile acres near Emmett without wa
ter, may be scrapped The district
court has apportioned benefits under
the contracts. The 1922 reclamation
bill has made available 100000 to
begin the work, of which only $4,000
has been spent IN purchasing site
and $4,000 more in preliminary work
But progress seems TO have stopped
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1922-05-11

here. Emmett people are worried
Who can blame them?
Meanwhile the government is spend
ing hundreds of thousands on Eev
projects where the landholders have
not yet complied with the require.
ments Of the government Meanwhile
the western states are urging more
Of this sort Of work in order to gel
more land under cultivation, more peo.
pie paying taxes and building the west
New land under cultivation Fine
But here, it seems, is a case in which
we may lose land already developed
unless someone does something. Here
is q 22,0o0-acre tract Of some of the
richest agricultural land in Idaho
with an ideal climate for fruit, corn
and alfalfa and yet land which stands
today only two-thirds productive for
lack Of water and may tomorrow be
even less productive. Here is land
fully developed, with transportation
and communication facilities, wagon
roads, railroads, telephone and tele-
graph lines, fields in crop or level
ed, cleared and ready for seeding as
soon as water is available.
While reclamation work is pro-
crossing on virgin lands, while money
is being spent elsewhere, surely it
seems that the Black Canyon claim is
a prior claim, a more worthy claim.
Time to get the ear of our congress
men, isn't it?
