No-TRUTH IN PROPAGANDA
THAT EUROPE IS "BRokE"

Washington.-M. Clemenceau in ad-
dressing the American Farm Fedora
ton urging the farmers to support the
entry of America into European at.
fairs, is reported by the Associated
Press as saying:
What does isolation mean for you?
You know what it meant with your
last wheat crop-more wheat than
America could eat with low prices, SO
that you did not know what to do. AT
the time your prices were down Rus
STA and Austria, Germany and France,
were hungry and couldn't eat because
they could pay. They could pay be-
cause of the unsettled conditions in
Europe directly traceable to the fact
that the United States left Europe
after the war without helping enforce
the peace treaty"
With the exception of 1921, the
American farmer exported more
wheat last year than any previous
year of peace in the history of the
United States. Therefore M. Clemen-
ceau's fearful solicitation about the
direful results of isolation upon the
American farmer was wholly uncalled
for and contrary to facts.
AS to his claim that the people Of
France and other European countries
went hungry because they did not
have the money wherewith to import
American wheat and other grains,
there is room for argument.
The United States Senate some
time since requested the Secretary Of
State to furnish 1t with information
the revenues, expenditures
and deficits of the various nations Of
Europe, especially the annual cost Of
land ornaments" in the several Eu-
ropean countries. This information
the Secretary Of State has just trans
mitted to the Senate through Presi-
