FARMERS AND THE TARIFF TRAP

We have given up hope OF seeing
men like Senator Cappcr forsaAe the
high tariff will-o'- -thelwisp: but II is
depressing to find Senator IL. +. I,add,
with his scientific training and inde-
pendent mind, plunEinR after IT, The
protectionist arguments he uses do
not alleviate this depression. "Farm-
ers." he assures us, "are no longer
misled by the fiction OF international
bankers and importers that their pros
|perity depends upon the foreign mar
kots, which take less than 10 per cent
of everything they produce" They
have adopted the wise maxim of

PREMIER pENFS.

II would add truly dramatic touch
to the play of conflicting interest now
being enacted In Genoa, # one of the
new little statee of Europe became not
only tho reconciling but the steadying
factor In the solution of tho difficult
problem Of peace. Those who have
watched closely and become most "a 10
millar with the course of events since
the armlstice have been impressed
with the remarkable ebility shown by
the young Premier of Czecho-slovakia
DR.. Benes and II he ia not vet az con.
spicuous as eonle IN the Genoa con-
ference. there II a prospect that h,
may be an important factor In pre-
venting its failure. Months ago mn
American observer predicted tina. ne
was me coming man in Europe.
Benes FIRST attracted attention when
aftr setting his own government IN
order. he began to ehape what became
known as the Little Entente. Prl-
marily designed to reunlte tho frag-
ments of the Austro-Hungarian en-
| pire and the more friendly states OF
| the Balkans into n working economic
arrangement it developed its politica
! Importance az n mutual defence
against military pCils from either
Russia or Hungary. Shortly befor,
the Genoa conference he brough
Poland into the group and this tended
10 remove many OF the difficulties ant
disputes as TO boundaries and othel
matters between these states.
II has been assumed that the Littl
Entente would naturally act in co
operation with France in relation I,
questions with Germany or Russia an,
there has been much to Indicate tha
France expected and would have thi
cooperation in any contingencies tina
might arise. In the nature OF the cas-
the interests Of this group of state
and of France would coincide in mos
matters.
But Benes Is a strong advocate @
peace and OF the economic benefit
that can only come from peace; an
in the present situation in Genoa hi
effort is to reconcile the differences be
tween Great Britain and France.
his effort 1t appears that France ma

OF the Little Entente II she break
away from the common effort E

cause OF France in relation to repare
tlons is not sighted but Benes put
common action for peace above a
. other considerations. Supported /
the Premiers Of the other states
, the little Entente, he is bringin
pressure upon France to prevent
break with Great Britain ON any ma
, ter of European policy.
1t Is needless to~say that this is II
most effective pressure that could |

BETTER INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS.

The United States Employment Bu-

mirably throughout the period Of in
dustrial depression in bringing to-
gether those who desired employment
and those who had need Of help. is
now in somewhat Of a quandary, but
a very pleasing one. 1t has more ap-
plications for workers than It can fill.
There was a time when applications
for work at the bureaus headquarters
numbered from ESQ 10 800 each day,
with very slight derkand. Gradually
this number has been decreasing, and
during the past few weeks the appli-
cations had fallen 10 ten and fifteen
day. This week they ceased en-
tirely, and now the applications fol
workers arc In the majority.
This situation, Of itself. is an indi.
cation that there has been consld

ural. This country could not Ion,
remain in such a state Of inertia ant

STOP rHE PICKETING.

Again Il 10 announced that II Is the
intention OF those engaged in tho an
archistio campaign to compel the
President OF tho United States to do
something no n not willing to DO, and
which duty inctines him not to DO, to
resort to tho lawleas course OF picket
ing the White House with their active
agents. They insistently demand the
release from prison OF all offenders
who were convicted of acts Of disloy-
atty during tho war, and will employ
the children OF the prisoners as the
chief picketers.
This insult TO the President. This
invasion Of his personal and officia'
rights, should not be tolerated. Al
those who engage in It should be
promptly arrested and confined ir
prison until they are willing to refrair
from their irritating and offensive
conduct. Picketing the home OF tn,
President and other methods OF CO
ercion Of that character are un
