The history of cooperative
marketing projects shows what a
gigantic task Mr.. Lowden has un-
dertaken. The committee pro-
poses to promote rapid extension
of cooperative marketing. Mr..
Meyer and Mr.. Mondell of the
War Finance Corporation were
instrumental in obtaining Gov.
Lowden's appointment. An ac-
knowledged expert on agricultur-
al problems stated this week that
the very nature of the wheat
market would prevent fulfilment
of the committees plans. This
authority explained that an in
tensive study of cooperation
among farmers showed that sue
cess depended largely upon a
capable manager-and market
prices. Accordingly, these ex-
perts argue that Mr.. Lowden
will find himself in constant
turmoil with various competitive
groups. This matter resolves
into the query: Did Messrs.
Meyer and Mondell. with or with
out the knowledge of the Presi-
dent. make Gov. Lowden respon-
sible, in part, for the relief of
the wheat farmers? Some pro-
fess to note a parallel in the
case of Governor Pinchot and
the anthracite coal strike. Re-
CARELESS of the empty victory
and increased coal prices. the
controversy projected Mr.. Pin
chot into the hmelight as a Pres
idential possibility. What of Mr..
Lowden.

Frank Lowden, former Govern
or of Illinois, stood fairly well in
the pre-convention tests of 1920
when mentioned for the Republi-
can nomination. His failure was
due largely to over-zealous
friends who spent lavishly but
not wisely in Missouri. Lowden
has declined high honors from the
Administration at various times.
The story was current that
acceptance of these honors would
handicap the former Governor in
the 1924 campaign. Several we'll
informed political observers have
made the statement to the
writer that Lowden's acceptance
of the craftsmanship of the
National Wheat Growers Advi-
sorry Committee may bring en-
barrassment instead of glory.

immigration bars will not be
lifted. The tendency is to screen
the melting pot in the opposite
direction. This has been made
manifest by a statement at the
White House that Congress will
be asked to extend the present
three per cent law which expires
June 80. 1923. The President
firmly believes that the United
States must be extremely care
full in the selection of immi-
grants.
Indicative of the small immi-
grafton to the wheat belt during
the fiscal year ended July, 1923,
are figures from the Labor De-
partment showing that only
1884 settled in North Dakota,
and 1893 in South Dakota. There
was a distinct movement of
these newcomers to the Far West
and the Southwest, as Texas alb
sorbed 45.198 immigrants and
California 29.093. Official figures
show that II. OO4 immigrant aliens
established permanent residences
in the state of Washington. The
industrial states absorbed the
largest percentage as aliens are
invariably attracted to larger
communities.

centage on their actual require
ments for the year. This prac-
tice is adopted by the bureau
officials as experience shows
that Congress lops off certain
amounts to give the impression
of thrift by the legislative
branch. The estimates for 1924
call for $l,7OO,OOO,OOO, exclusive
of the Post Office Department
and the public debt. Taxes will
remain status quo.
