POTENT ASIA.

Although the Asatic continent is teeming with
untouched resources, millions in Russia and China
starving and Japan is poor Crooked stick az
ricuture keeps Asia from more than doubling the
worlds present production of food stuffs.
Titled by American farmers Siberia alone could
feed the world And that vast stretching more
than 1000 miles from the Pacific to the Urals has
all the trimmings of forest and minerals which
bine with good farming land to feed. house, cothe
and equip a wealthy nation.
Something big is in the making in Asia--as in
evitably something big must develop In such
peril may depend In large part upon the decisions
of present day statesmen. An idea works wonders

A FOOLS TALE
But Mark and Mona End Up
Happily.

II Winter Comes, by A. S. NJ. Hutchin-
son. (s2). Little, Brown.
This is the tale of fool, and an
interesting tale it is.
The book aims at the dclineation
of a character with ideals and the
power to follow them, combined
with the inability ever to make his
neighbors understand. In his eff
forts to paint the character con-
vincingly, the author overdoes him
self and the final tremendous ca
tastrophe is weakened somewhat
by the readers failure to sympa-
thize with the rather puerile con-
duct of the hero.
Mark Sabre, the hero, is scarce
ly human in his devotion to his
ideals. Everything he possesses
money, business success, social
position, and his wife-are sacri-
feed by him in order that he may
discharge what he believes to be
his Christian duty to an unmarried
mother with no claim on him other
than that she had once worked in
his household.
When the young woman Is unable
to secure a position in any home
and keep her child with her, Sabre
insists on bringing her into his
house. This action apparently yer
flies the neighborhood assumption
Of the child's paternity, and
Sabre's wife accepts the assump-
ton as correct and leaves the
home. 1t is at this point that the
readers sympathy with Sabre suf-
fers a severe setback. Even the
mountain of catastrophes which
are heaped upon Sabre leave the
reader more or less cold towards
the hero who has brought about
his own undoing.
Whatever it's faults may be, the
book is amazingly interesting, and
the style is unexceptionable
Hutchinson is extremely expert in
sustaining the interest by means
of frequent minor crimes, and
builds up the plot in manner
which brings whole mountains OF
events into the final chapter.

HELPING THE FARMER.

President Hardng's farm conference promises to
be one of the outstanding events of the year
The farmer must have help and have 1t if bust
ness is to improve, The farm problem is the most
urgent and difficult of all those confronting the gov
eminent General prosperity cannot be expected
until the farms are prosperous. All our wealth
comes in way another from the soil. When
the farmer is in the financial doldrums most of
wallowing along with him.
The presidents policy of early and vigorous farm
aid has been decided upon after several conferences
of administration officials with members of con-
gress. The farming sections have recuperaed more
slowly from the period of depression than the re-
mainder OF the country and is frankly recognized
that there is relief to be afforded the farm
situation except through natural economic laws,
Nevertheless there are some things the government
do that might contribute to helping the situa-
ton. And it is these things the administration plans
to get behind and push through.
Foremost the program the administration will
get behind the measure legali2ng cooperative farm
organizations. This bill has almost, but quite
enacted in three different sessions of congress-
With the approval of the federal board and
the federal land bank board there will be presented
senate measure designed to set up rural credits
system for the farm similar to that of the federal
reserve system for industry and commerce.
Good business and good politics demand that con-
gress follow the presidents plan. The farmer is not
a special interest to be fostered and pampered at
the expense of the rest of us, but he be given
full and ample opportunity to help himself to the
utmost

AN ILLOGICAL PLAN.

While within the province of the senate is thu
making of reservations limiting United States par
ticpation in the Horsepower agreement legslating
for other powers is not its prerogratve. is diff
cult to believe that Senator Borahs proposed
walton to the Pacific treaty was put forth for ser
ious consideration. It is not a reservation but an
attempt to amend the treaty Senator Borah would
have the senate declare:
1.-The high contracting parties agree to restore
within year and thereafter forever to respect the
rights interests. terrtor and sovereignty Of all
tions governments having rights and interests in
the region of the Pacific, and failure to do 80 by
any of the high contracting parties shall termi-
nate all obligations under Article H."
The Idaho senator is socitious of the rights of
China. honorably disposed people throughout
the world. But the Pacific treaty deals with nsuar
possessions of the parties to It, not with China whose
status 1t is hoped will be established in another
treaty. AS to Pacific islands, If the contracting
parties were to restore within year the rights
etc., provided in the reservation" there would
be recreated a multiplicity of independent native
governments that assuredly would not make for
peace and stability sin the region of the Pacific
ocean" Applied to China it would be a cause of
ceaseless controversy. There moral rights and
legal rights. China has moral right to exercise
sovereignty all the territory of the empire but
she has relinqushed that sovereignty in spots by
processes universally recognized as legal
1t is not within the power Of the United States,
unless this country successfully use force, compel
the restorations desired by Senator Borah. The lat
ter is on sound moral ground, but the method he
proposes to accomplish the end sought is impract-
cable. He knows this 1t must be concluded, then.
that he advances his suggestion for no other pur-
pose but to obstruct ratification of the four-power
Pacific treaty. That he will have no substantial
backing in the senate is matter of satisfaction to
the nation.
