Farmers and Freight

Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace is
author Of the suggestion that trans
p~ortation rates should be cut on farm
products, and he believes that freight
rates car be trimmed to such an ex-
tent as to relieve a good deal OF the
hardship under which the agricultural
interests are suffering. The proposal
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should move in the direction
OF bringing about reduced rates for
farm products has aroused the oppo-
sition OF Secretary OF Commerce Hoo
YER. who objects to any reduction in
rates unless it applies generally to all
classes OF freight. 1t is well to re-
member that Secretary Wallace repre-
sents the farmers. who have a special
claim to Government help. and that
Secretary Hoover's job is to look out
for business men and business inter
ests. II there is to be any trough to

the effect that President Coolidge IS
seeking a remedy" for what IS de-
scribed in the National Capital news
papers as a grave farm crisis" II IS
common talk in Washington political
circles that leaders in the Administra-
ton would favor a special session Of
Congress to arrange the difficulties OF
farm life if they only knew what to
do. Among remedies which have been
proposed are a reduction OF freight
rates on grain from the producing CEN
tiers to the principal market at Chioa-
60. and a revival of the United States
Grain Corporation TO handle this seas
on's wheat crop. The latter proposal,
like mostly everything else that has
been suggested. would require action
by Congress. The Administration.
and the "old guard" that controls the
machinery OF Congress. IS looking
rather unkindly upon the so-called
"progressives'' and radicals" who are
found in the farm bloc and the indie
pendent groups Of the Senate and
House. These groups have proposed
numerous solutions TO the country.
and they claim that their methods
will work successfully. If possible
they intend TO put their ideas on the
statutes. But as usual they do not
agree with the organization to
which they reply that they have the
power and will become the %"organiza-
ton at the coming session Of Con-
gress.
Everybody claims that they want to
FIX it up for the farmers" and there
is no doubt that good intentions are
plentiful. But memories do not need
TO be more than two or three years
long to recall that Congress has made
a poor job in the past OF enacting
laws to pull the farmers out OF debt
by the bootstraps. 1t has been proved
over and over again that the economic
laws and trade adjustments do not
turn somersaults to conform t altru-
istic and impractical bills" introduced
in Congress.

Senator Lafollette's Power

situation in the Republican party.
Senator Moses is also a sort OF "politi-
cal Moses in the Republican ~senatori-

early stage in the game, are ~conceding
lO2 delegates in the next Republican

Senator LaFollette is the acknow-
lodged leader of the "radical-progres-
sive group" within the Republican
party, and they claim they have votes
enough in both the Senate and the
House to dictate" the organization
OF each body in the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress. 1t looks as though there would
be a bitter fight for control of the
organization in the coming Congress.
1t may be assumed that the strength
credited to Senator LaFollette and his
Republican groups was made upon the
basis of conditions while Mr.. Harding
was president. 1t remains to be seen
whether the new methods of the new
Coolidge will change the
situation.

THE LEAGUE AND FORGE

Lord Robert Cecil proposes that the League of Nations provide for an interna- tional military force to be used against any state assuming an aggressive role Itlwould be established through treaty of mutual guarantees, to which the United States, Ger many and Russia could adhere by notifying the league or signatory states. According to the treaty's stipulations, the council of the league, by a three-fourths majority vote, may decide whether state is menaced, and adopt measures for it's protection by nego- tiating a supplementary treaty in the form of military convention. The signatory states would agree to accept the command of the state designated by the league coun- cil for carrying out the purposes of the special treaty and each signatory would agree to furnish part of the naval and air forces, or other military assistance that the council deemed necessary.
 Lord Roberts suggestion met with the opposition that might have been expected. It is doubtful if the nations of the world are yet willing to submit to a form of super state which would have the power to impose its authority by force of arms. But apart HUH any Ol CudL SOIIy tIe league is an instrumentality for peace, rather than war. Its underlying principle is the promotion of good will and better under standing among nations which will enable them to adjust their differences without re- sorting to extreme measures. More and more the nations of the world are realizing the folly of war and in recent years great pro- gress has been made in establishing interna- tional relations on foundation of confi- gard for the sancity of contracts and the responsibilities that one nation holds with respect to another The action of the United States government in accepting the decision of The Hague tribunal on the Norwegian claim against this country is case in point. Although the United States felt that the award was discriminatory, it paid Norway without protest, setting an example that has no doubt done much to enhance the prestige of the tribunal and the principle of arbitra- ton. By keeping the idea of force as far in the background as possible an atmosphere is created which makes for harmony among nations. It substitutes reason and the spirit of fair play for violence.
 Nevertheless, an emergency might arise which would call for sterner measures. In that eventualty, the league might iustifi- ably take steps to bring recalcitrant nation to terms. The course pursued need not in volve. the use of military forces. The eco- homie boycott can be made even more effec- tive than armies and navies, if applied in concert and strictly enforced. The time III differences most individuals do, through the orderly processes of law, instead of re- sorting to force. That time may be long way off, but the tendency lies unquestion- ably in that direction.

- ITALY IS STABILIZED

Whatever mistakes the fascist may have committed in Italy, they have caused the re- birth of nationalism, put. premium on patriotic service to the Italian nation and effectively suppressed the communists. It is difficult for an American to conceive of the condition in Italy that brought about the fascisti uprising. Graft, bureaucratic in- efficiency and the impotence of the govern ment, which hardly dared to raise its hand against disturbers of the peace, had created a situation bordering on anarchy. Small wonder that Mussolini was hailed as a de- liverer, and his stern measures met with the approval of the best elements of the Italian populationl He assumed authority in the nick of time to prevent a collapse of the government, which had earned the merted contempt of practically all classes except the bureaucrats.
 The contrast between the demoralized Italy of last year and the going government of the present is strikingly illustrated in the drastic policy the authorities are now pur- suing to check radcalism. Large numbers of communists are being arrested in various parts of Italy, charged with conspiring against the state. That is not so remarkable as the fact that there are no open protests. Radicals no longer venture to defy the gov ernment, although some of the persons ar rested include former mayors, lawyers, pro- fessors and people in the higher walks of life. In 1920, when the anarchist Maa- testa was arrested, supine government re- leased him under the threat of a general s+,ciIy

Reply to Mr. Murphrec

To the Edltor of The Age-H Herald:
 In defense of the Hon. ot. John of Cullman, Ala, beg to make re- ply to a letter puonshed III The Age-Herald February $ Dy c. l.. Murphree of Gadsden, Ala. De- fendIng the sehiropractlc bill, Representative St. John made the following statement before the house: If Christ Himself came into the world again and sought to heal the SICK, and raise the dead, He would be arrested by warrant of the Alabama Medical Assoclation on charge of practicing without a license from tine associaulon.' Mir. Murphree says in his letter; T desire to call the gentleman's atten- tion to the fact that in all the an- nals of history, the life of Christ as set forth in the New Testament scriptures, is the most perfect eX- ample of obedience to the law of both God and man." If MT. Mur- phree would kindly allow me l would like to ask hlm the following questions: Did Christ break the law when He picked corn on the Sab bath to feed the disciples? If Christ did not violate man made law, why did He warn His disciples: Beware of men for they will de- liver you up to the Councils. Gov ernors and Kings?" Would this warning have been necessary if they had been obeying the law. of the land? Again it is stated: "He cast out the money changers and all those who bought and sold from the temple" Evidently these peo- pie were living according to civil law, as they were not taken before the courts and punished; so in this we find Christ breaking up a prac- tice that existed by law. Christ healed the sick not by giving them drugs, but by Faith and the lay ing on of hands," Do you think that Jesus would advise absolute obedience to the now existing laws pertaining to the healing art in Ala bama? I think that the Master Jesus was crucified partly because of His opposition to man-made law, and that evidently we nave with us today the same class of men that nailed him to the cross.

FOR THE SEN ATE TO DECIDE

The house has approved the plan offered by the American debt commission for fund ing the British debt. The Senate finance committee, by a vote of eight to three, has reported the measure favorably. It now is for the senate itself to decide whether the American nation shall give this subsidy to the British nation, or whether it will give the American taxpayers interests first con- sideration. There are many arguments put forward purporting to prove that the plan will not impose an additional burden upon Americans, but the figures themselves are of sufficient weight to show where 1t really rests. If the British government is to pay a lower rate of interest than the American government is paying on the same money, sombeody has to pay the difference. Those who are profiting by the transaction are not those upon whom it will devolve to liquidate the forty million or so year that we forgive the British.
 In answer to certain questions of senators regarding the transactions, Senator Smoog, a member of the debt-funding commission, replied that the information asked was of highly confidential character and therefore
 
 if the American senate cannot be trusted with information bearing on an important public question and involving the American taxpayer. The senate is the one official body that now stands between adoption of the plan and its rejection. The American senate may very well take the view that it cannot conscieniously approve plan con- corning certain features of which it must be kept in the dark. It may also fur her take the view that the nation that hesitates to grant subsidy to it's own merchant ma rine, in the interests of it's own commerce, business and productive agencies, may also very well hesitate to grant subsidy of simi- lar extent to rival commercial nation.
 There is in this country very pronounced desire to extend to Great Britain terms ot the utmost lberality to enable her to meet her obligations, but certainly no debtor of ours can expect our representative bodies to be more considerate of the financial diff faculties of foreign people than of our own people.
