EUROPE LESS ABLE
TO BUY OUR CROPS
American Committee Reports
That Foreign Troubles Mean a
Drop in Our Farm Exports.

Notwithstanding group of econo-
mists and statisticians who were re-
quested by the Department OF Agricul-
ture to review factors involved in the
agricultural outlook, reported that
'the foreign demand for American
foodstuffs during the current market
ing season will apparently not be as
great as it was a year ago" INT that
Europe will probably have less buying
power.
The forecast of the committee, espe-
cialIy as it had to deal with the wheat
situation, had been awaited with I'M
usual interest. The experts had at
their disposal all of the data collected
by the Department of Agriculture con-
corning conditions at home and
abroad. One of the reasons for the
conclusion reached by the committee
that exports of American foodstufs
during the wheat year 1923-1924 would
not be as great as in 1922-1923, was
increased production abroad. Consump-
ton in the United States, the COM
mittee felt, would not decrease mate
rally, as the probability or a severe
industrial depression in the near fu-
ture seemed slight.
In discussing the increase of produc-
ton abroad, the experts went on rec
ord concerning recent reports that
Russia might reappear during 1928
1924 as a heavy producer and ex-
porter.
While the report could scarcely be
accepted as a 'bulP' argument, it was
not as d-iscouraging as many of the
recent forecasts.
Russia will not export grain in
large quantities in the immediate fu-
ture," was the committees unqualified
declaration.
Emphasis was placed by the com
mittee on a recommendation that
wheat growers prepare for the future
by decreasing the acreage Of winter
wheat. Production, which increased
tremendously in exporting countries
during the war period, the committee
felt, had not been curtailed as rapidly
as conditions made advisable.

BRITAIN WILL DRAFT
REPLY TO GERMANY
Document viii Go to Allied Pow
ers and Interested Nations
for Suggestions.

London.-Great Britain has inform
ed France and Italy that she is ready
to assume the responsibility of pre-
pairing the draft of a reply to he
German reparation note.
The reply will be submitted to the
Allies with the least possible delay
in the hope that they will agree to its
terms.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Prime Minister Baldwin in
a statement to the House of Com
mons on Great Britain's reparation
policy
The British Government, he said,
invites the sympathy Of the Allies and
of all interested states for the pro-
posal, which aims solely at the pacif-
cation of Europe and the recovery of
the exhausted world.
Mr.. Baldwin failed to state what
the British proposals will be in the
note the Government intends framing,
and said nothing in regard to an in
ternational commission to examine
into Germany's capacity to pay.
Premier Baldwin in his statement
said it could not be made too clear, in
the interests alike of the Powers con-
cerned and any who might hope to
profit by exploiting the differences be
tween them. that the sole ground of
divergence was as to the best effective
means of realizing the ends which
were vital to all. These ends were
the payment of reparations and the
recovery of the security Of Europe
To secure these ends, he said, the
Allies 'have grudged nothing in the
past, nor will they grudge anything in
the future.
The proposals set forth in the re-
cent German note were inadequate, he
admitted, but they should be explored
and examined, not ignored.

Roads and Education

How much is education worth 10
your children?
Many taxpayer must ask himself
that ques ion at this time, when bad
weather begins aud roads become less
and less passable. II is atricious. but
il is true that in thousands of locali-
ties throughout this enlightened land
of ours, children are prevented from
taking advantage of what education
facilities the state or country affords,
because of the poor roads, which mud,
water, snow, ice and bad weather
make impossible.
Whether IL is the little red school
house" half mile or a couple of miles
from the farm, or the consolidated
school, to which children from a radius
of ten miles may come, the worth of
the school to the child depends in
large measure upon the amount of
time he or she may spend there. The
best school is of no value If a student
can not attend. ~
The problem becomes of acute i'm
portance TO the taxpayer, who is often
faced with the choice of whether he
will keep the road open, at consider
able expense, or let it so, and let the
children suffer. Those counties which
have not as yet been able to finance
the good road, which is the right of
all who live beyond the city limits, can
nevertheless do much to ameliorate
conditions as far as the children are
concerned, for road may not be good
and still be passible. II is deep mud
or ruts. frozen so that wheeled and
hoofed travel is impossible. which keep
the child from the school; a dragged
earth will freeze as well as muddy
or rutty one, and children can walk on
smoth frozen surface even If IL be
normally moi n hard surface road.
Children have a right TO an educa-
tion. American children have an in
alienable right to know the history of
their country, TO follow, as best they
may. in the footsteps of Lincoln, 10
whom nothing was a sufficient bar to
keep him from 90. sting an education.
1t is up TO the parent, the taxpayer, the
money spender. to see that the child
has the road on which he can travel,
that he may attend the schol which,
and alone which among all our
agencies, can make him a worthy Amer
ican citizen.
