IMPOSSIBLE ALTRUISM

1t hardly seems that Justice Clarke
of the United States Supreme Court
keeps within the bounds of propriety
when he publicly allies himself with
those in this country who would cancel
the debt owed America by the foreign
powers, contracted because OF the war
To begin with, there is a serious ques-
ton whether the Congress could legally
give away billions of the peoples
money which had been, for the most
part, raised by Liberty bonds, for in
vestment in foreign countries, Probably
they could not do SO. The Justice, oc-
cupying as he does position on the
bench of the highest court in the land,
places himself in rather dangerous
position when he sanctions the pet no
tions of certain elements, when the
legality of the action, should it ever
reach the serious stage, might be ques-
toned and come before his lofty tri-
bunal
But aside from any element OF legal
ity there is the plain human side of the
proposition, which, when considered
fairly, makes the cancellation Of Eu-
ropes debts look quite impracticable.
Mr.. Clarke justihes the action OF those
advocating cancellation on the ground
that we did not begin to suffer with
the war strangled nations OF Europe.
He asserts that the losses to this coun-
try in men were less than one to fifty
of the allies and that our monetary
loss, even if our European loans were
to be cancelled and forgotten, would
only approximate one-fourth that OF
our friends in the great struggle. The
position taken by those iavoring can-
collation. is clearly one of equaliza-
ton of losses.
The whole matter reverts back to
the question Of just why America took
I'D the struggle. We do not understand
that the allies were fighting Americas
battles from 1914 to 1917 Whose scrap
was it. anyway? Who started the row.
Surely it was not Americas battle and
she did not march onto the blood
stained fields of Europe until her own
rights at sea were so trampled upon
that existing conditions were unbear-
able. Woodrow Wilson, who appointed
Mr.. Clarke to his high position, evil
IDENTIFY was not of the opinion that
Europe's battles were our battles when
he was seeking a second election as
president, for he allowed the adoption
of the campaign slogan in 1916, He
Kept Us Out of War" No indeed,
America roes not owe Europe any debt
of gratitude. At a matter OF fact, Il
it had not been for scheming, base and
intriguing crowned heads in Europe the
United States would not have been
forced to sacrifice $4,000 Of her patri-
otto young lives and ruin the health OF
hundreds of thousands more.
Americas aid, her money and her
men were freely offered the allies. And
there is no grumble on the part OF this
country for the sacrifices made. But
when it comes to cancelling the allies
lust debts, it rather seems that the
unstinting Americans who purchased
so literally of Liberty bonds that Eu-
rope might be saved, and have had to
sell them below par, should be con-
suited. There is such thing as carry
ing altruism to an altogether impos-
sible extreme.

Special to The Evening Journal.

Special TO The Evening Journal.
DOVER, Sept. 2l-Roydon L.
Hammond. state seed analyst who is
connected with the State Board of
Agriculture has issued the following
statement relative to seed wheat
conditions in Delaware as found by
/ tests of wheat sent TO the State
laboratory:
There have been received at the
State Laboratory. Dover, a consider
able number Of samples of home
grown wheat for termination tests
this month and so far there has not
been found a single sample which
has given a first-class termination
test.
The terminating quality of wheat
is something which the farmer
should make sure of before sowing,
as a wheat which gives only half
what it should in a termination test
Will give only half of the stand In
the field II sown in the usual
amounts. The wheat tested In the
laboratory has shown from So per
The highest test so far being 20 per
cent. and the lowest So per cent. The
average OF all is about so per cent.
where II should be better than 80
per cent.
THE damp conditions at harvest
time and Immediately following
probably had something TO do with
this poor terminating heat. Several
farmers have brought IN. or sent TO
the laboratory. wheat which looked
perfectly good and which they
thought would be good for seed, but
which has in some instances given a
test OF only SO per cent. The APP
pearance of the seed does not tell
what IL will do In the way of grow
ing. One farmer after sending two /
samples TO the laboratory for germ
ination planted some or abe same lot |
In earth at home ana found that |
only about SO per cent of the seeds /
would grow in this manner, which .
was practically the same percentage I
reached in laboratory tests. Wheat !
this season that looks perfectly good
when put into the terminating
chambers will mold rapidly and a
large amount OF that which germin- |
ates gives a short weak sprout. Good |
wheat should show very little II any /
mold at the end of the test and /
should have strong vigorous sprouts. /
"The results of the tests made .
hus far in the laboratory indicate
hat If the farmers of the State sow
home grown wheat this fall. without
irst being sure that IL is of good
uality, there will be a short wheat
rop in Delaware next spring.
