He always looked on the bright side

not because he failed TO understand
Or appreciate difficult situations. but
because he was naturally hopeful and
optimistic. He saw the rift in

Americas surplus crops. Senator
Borah took for the subject of his
address, "How to Find Markets for
the Products of the American Farm
err"
NO COMMENT ON HARDING
Although in his address he did not
refer to the death of President War
rem G. Harding, except in an indirect
way, the senator seemed deeply moved
by the passing of the chief executive,
for i'm opening his address he said
''We meet under somewhat discour-
aging circumstances. Nevertheless, we
think it not inappropriate to discuss
some of the matters of deep concern
TO the people of this vicinity and
the country in general"
IdahO'S senator emphasized that he
was not delivering a political speech,
and did not propose to discuss poll
tics.
81 am seeking information from the
people who have TO do with the CON
duct of affairs" said Senator Borah.
"As / have driven over this magnifi-
cent prairie, / find fiat you have
crops such as |, at least, ba'-' never
seen in this country before. The great
problem, however. which contents
this country and every other agricul-
tural country, is: What are you go
ing to do with this crop?
PAY FOR WORK DONE
What can we do toward securing
just compensation for the labor which
you have put forth?" asked the SEN
ator. Senator Borah said the farmers
of Camas Prairie are i'm much better
condition than n ri'ny parts of the
country. He referred particularly to
thousands of abandoned farms in the
eastern states which ~" farmers have
left, to work for wages n the cities.
1.-THE problem of the farmer" SEN
ator BOrah continued, sis a nation
wide, and. in my opinion, a worldwide
problem.
81 do not believe curtailment of pro
duction is practicable. So long as
there are hundreds, and thousands and
millions of people throughout the
world hungry for what you can raise,
it is not desirable to discuss the ques-
ton Of curtailment of production.
"Stabilization of price is a difficult
matter to put through congress- The
senator remarked that If price were
fixed on wheat, the cotton planters Of
the south would demand a fixed price
on cotton. and others would insist on
fixed prices for their products.
MUST FIND MARKET

plan of that kind" continued Senator
Borah. "If we start with guaranteeing

Financial Collapse
In German Shipping

Hamburg, Oct 30--(By A. p. Nrail)
Germany's ship building activity was
short-lived. The terms OF the Yer
saiiles treaty, which deprived Ger
many of all her large commercial
ships, brought many shipyards into
existence and started a general con-
struction boom. But the collapse of
the mark, with consequent difficulties
between labor and employers. and
the troubles builders found in financ-
ing purchases of raw materials,
called sudden halt.
Germany had to give up to it's for
mer enemies all of it's ships larger
than 1000 tons. and half of it's ships
with a tonnage between 1000 and
1000. Only ships suitable for coast
wise shipping remained.
Roughly total of 100000 tons of
German shipping was turned over.
AS there had been a heavy loss of
German ships in the war, there were
only 100000 tons left after the terms
OF the Versailles Treaty were exc
Cuted.
New ships were built. and Germans
bought ships back from their former
enemies until the German merchant
toms. which is less than half the pre-
war size. and less than per cent. of
the merchant shipping of the world.
The government gave large sums
to encourage p-building. supplying
two- thirds of the cost. But German
money fell in value so rapidly that
government appropriations depre-
ciatcd before construction was COM
pieteds on many of the ships. Iron
and coal prices in Germany rose
higher than world prices, and the
general, depression of world trade
caused many ships to lie idle in Ger
man harbors. just as elsewhere. Ship
owners today are scarcely able to
make operating expenses and have
nothing left for building programs
German exports are now worth only
about 100, 100000 gold marks monthly
which is about one-tenth of the pre-
war figures.
Shipping circles are hoping for a
resumption of the American grain
trade TO Europe and general i'm
rrovement in the world trade situa
ton as an offset to the hard blow
which tho German internal situation
has struck at ship and shir
operation.

Mayor Mclean a
Possible Candidate
for Seat in Congress

The following comment on the po-
litical situation in Maine. and the
possible candidates for gubernatorial
and Congressional honors is from
the Boston Globe of November z.
and is interesting at least. as typical
of the political talk being heard
wherever voters forgather In this
section.
1.-The Democratic Congressional
candidate from the Third Maine Dis
trict may be Mayor Ernest l.. Nc
Lean of this city. He has been
waited upon by number of men
and women, influential in the coun-
ellis of the party. who have asked
him to take up the helm. Mayor
Mclean has not given a decision.
Should he decide to enter the pri-
maries. he may have q contest, as
there are probabilities that Mayor
Leon O. Tebbetts of Waterville may
step into the arena.
''Some effort is being made TO in
duce Congressman John T.. Nelson
of this city to become a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor 1t is said that he is be-
ing asked to become a candidate, in
the event of Frank G.. harrington,
president of the Maine Senate, not
entering the contest.
I'm the event of Mr.. Nelson's be-
coming candidate for governor, the
opinion is expressed that his law
partner. William Tudor Gardiner
would enter the primaries as his
successor in Congress. At the pres
ent moment. Col. Gardiner has his
eyei on the speakership of the next
Maine House of Representatives.
ANY doubts as to whether Mayor
Albert r. Day of Bangor is in the
gubernatorial race have been set at
rest by the announcement that he
will not be a candidate for another
term as mayor. but proposes to de-
vote his entire time to the campaign
which he has already started.
