and sundry interviews have occurred
between officials of the company and
M. Krassin, the outcome of which
seems 70 indicate that it is extremely
unlikely that the Soviet government
would consider the return of the prop
critics under the original titles, al
though it is possible that a lease or
leases might be obtained by the com
pany to enable operations to proceed
and so permit the earning of some
income in return for capital invested
Further, the terms on which such a
lease might be granted are likely to
be too harsh to merit serious con
sideration by responsible interests.
As the chairman of the Spassky
company said recently property must
be respected, otherwise it is impos-
sible to operate in Russia or any
where else The dissatisfaction in
many quarters seem to be due to the
fact that whereas Great Britain has
recognized the Soviet government il
has taken no steps to prevent the con
fscation of the property of British
subjects in that distressful country.
and no drastic action has followed
such confiscation when it has occurred.
Sooner or later it is to be hoped that
the pressure of unemployment and
want will be felt to such an extent
that internal influence win be brought

may then turn again.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF WHEAT.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Projects for government purchase of
wheat seem to us a product of hys-
terra. They mean that the wheat
grower shall be secured against loss
by the rest of the nation. If wheat
is bought by the government at a
higher price than it can be sold, the
taxpayers of the country will have to
make up the difference One of the
results of that would be interesting
even to farmers. We mean that the
diversified farmer. the dairy farmer,
the stock farmer, would be taxed to
nav the farmer who elects to raise
wheat only. That Is a form of gov
eminent aid that will not appeal even
to farmers.
And where after all would it land
us? The price of hogs another farm
product, has fallen some SO in the last
year How about a government pur-
chase of hogs to sustain given price?
Commodities fluctuate, sometimes, as
in 1921. disastrously. How far are
we to rely upon government aid to
protect Ine plOuuceT, anu WIN must
really pay IN the end? This is method
of lifting ourselves by our bootstraps.
One consequence of tinkering with
government aid is that it is likely TO
fix a bad situation instead of remov-
ing It, If the government undertakes
to sustain the price of wheat at a
level which assures a profit to the
grower he will not attempt TO adjust |
himself to the economic situation hut |
he will go on raising wheat. That |
would happen in any similar case, !
and as other interests won special |
we should presently have an
economic chaos supported by artificial
means until the whole structure came
down in inevitable ruin.

HISTORY IN THE SCHOOLS.

Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph.
A prominent Democratic paper pro-
tests against the criticisms Of certain
un-American histories and says that
what the children should have in
history must be seen through the eyes
of disinterested scholars We can
hardly agree with that We desire
American children TO read history
written by men who feel some interest
in America. The trouble with some of
our o-called 'disinterested scholars is
that they display too much zeal in
mentioning the faults of Americans
and the virtues of our opponents. In
their effort to be disinterested they
evidently leaned over backward and
took too much interest in other coun-
tries Our Democratic editorial friend
had a father and a mother neither of
whom was perfect and yet he would
not like to have a biographer jumping
on their graves and proclaiming their
minor faults while neglecting their
many virtues.

Alaska is part Of We do not vouch
for this story. but it is published by
the New York Times. It is easy to
credit it, however for Ignorance of
geography is proverbial The man
who asked whether Oregon is in Hood
River got most Of his knowledge OF
geography from the picture end of
an apple box. With that limited
knowledge Of American geography. his
ignorance Of trans-oceanic geography
must be appalling.
Geography is assuming an increased
importance in our courses of study for
the reason that the United States is
OF the eve of a new activity in for
eign trade. Our department of COM
merce is endeavoring TO develop new
markets. particularly in the western
hemisphere, and, to that end, is send
ing its agents to every important
trade center in the world. Young men
are taking special courses of instruc-
ton in commercial geography and
other subjects specially fitting them
for work of this kind aspiring to
serve in this branch of the govern
ment
As an aid to this important line of
work. our common schools should take
geography out of its place near the
bottom of the course of study and put
it near the top. The man or woman,
boy or girl who reads dispatch from
Madrid, from Buenos Aires or from
should have a pretty def
mite idea of where the place is and

Professional men and others inter
ested in the mining industry of Siberia
are wondering whether an end is to
come to the period of watchful wait
ing that appears to characterize the
attitude in official quarters-whether
there is any prospect in sight of a
resumption of negotiations with the
Soviet government that might lead to
production at the mines Since the
failure last year of Mr.. Leslie Urqu-
hart of the Russo -Asiatic Consoli-
dated Company-one of the largest
mining concerns in the world to judge
by plant and concessions-to achieve
anything tangible by negotiation, i'm
patience has been in evidence among
many whose capital is invested in
Russian mining enterprise. Opinions
seem to differ as to what should be
done by those in control. The Spas
sky company. owning copper and coal
mines in the Akmolinsk district, with
large and profitable reserves, is mark

CHAIRMAN HULL AND TARIFF.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
Chairman Hull, of the Democratic
national committee, advances the typi-
cally specious view that the tariff
should be materially reduced if the
farmers of the country are to be eff
fectively aided.
He desires the logical suggestion
that the farmers cease to depend so
largely upon the foreign market to
eus tail production and to increase &C
nestle consumption to the point where
profitable prices can be obtained at
home
The Hull argument seems to run
along this line: BY reducing the tariff.
foreigners can buy more American
goods especially food stuffs. because
they will be able to sell more of their
own products at lower tariff rates
That is to say, if the home market
can be taken away from American
manufacturers, the farmer can sell
more abroad. receiving therefor the
money which the foreign manufactur-
er would receive fro Americans who
buy from them instead of from Amer
lean producers.
Could anything DC more absurd?
The domestic market depends upon
the ability of Americans to buy That
ability depends upon industrial pros
perity generally, and that prosperity |
depends very largely upon the pros |
perity of the industries which supply |
the domestic market and upon the
farmer.
Americans cannot buy adequately
the products of the farm if they are
not earning adequate wages and sal
aries or receiving adequate profits in
business.
To argue that farmers can sell
profitably abroad in proportion to the
extent to which American industries
are robbed of the home market is to
argue in a ridiculous circle.

In his address to the governors il

rectly to the prohibition law, Presi
dent Coolidge had this to say:
THE great body of the people
are thoroughly law-abiding. This
great law abiding element of the
nation is entitled to support and
protection. l propose to give that
support and protection to the
limit provided by the constitution
and the law of the land. against
every lawless element The exec
utives are required to enforce the
law. The machinery for the en-
forcement of the law is that sup
piled by the acts of congress and
the acts of the state legislatures.
That machinery must be used to
the fun extent of its capacity to
secure the enforcement of the law.
1t is certainly my own purpose so
to use IT, The people are going to
continue TO yield obedience to the
law This principle viii continue
to prevail, whenever the American
people shall pass judgment upon
it, because it is the foundation OF
all their institutions"

LEADER OF AMERICAN LEGION
OUT FOR BONUS.

While the American Legion INDUCES
in many high sounding principles and
purposes. ali of which combine to
make 100 per cent Americanism, it's
greatest effort is apparently concen-
trated i'm securing the passage Of the
most unpatriotic and un-American
/ legislation of which it is possible to
/ conceive. In his first address follow
ing his election. the new commander
of the legion won great applause when
he said:
81 shall conduct an active and
vigorous campaign to secure the
immediate passage of the adjust
ed compensation act"
This means that political pressure
is be brought upon senators and con-
gressmen to pass the soldiers bonus
bill, and if it is successful it means
that the people of this country, the
same country they served in war; will
be taxed to the extent of several bill
lion dollars to pay the bonus. this,
too. at time when the people were
hopeful for a reduction of the tax
burden which they have been carry
ing since the close of the war. 1t is
difficult to understand the mental
makeup of men who profess such
pride in their military service, who
pose as models of Americanism, and
yet who are willing to step from their
high estate and enter into mad
scramble to obtain a cash payment for
their glorious service. No wonder
that millions of service men refuse
TO join the legion, men who resent |
even the suggestion of placing cash
valuation upon their service to their /
country And there are many legion
men who feel the same way One
of them. Mr. Van Antwerp, voiced
the true sentiment of the soldier and
citizen in the san Francisco encamp-
ment. but he represented a hopeless
minority 1t was a fine expression of
real Americanism, the spirit that

wormy OAK for ANTIQUE Furniture.

A consignment of oak was sent to
Europe. 1t was found to be wormy
and there was no market for it until
the consignor happened to visit an
antique furniture factory. The man
ager of the factory was busily en-
gagged in manufacturing antique
grandfather clocks, boring the worm
holes by hand. He was very glad TO
buy the wormy oak and paid a much
better price for it than for sound OAK
A profitable connection was estap-

antique manufacturer.
