STOCKS OF WHEAT
HELD NONE TOO BIC

The worlds stock of wheat. in the
opinion of Managing Director Meyer
of the War Finance Corporation. is
not dangerously large. There is too
much talk about dangerously large
stocks" of grain. Mr.. Meyer said.
analyZing statistics concerning grains
and the difficulty of mark keting them.
The experience of the last two years,
he said. should lead us to be dis
trustful" of such figures.
He added that some persons who
believed they were helping the wheat
producers in talking of the world
supplies were actually lending them
selves to the spread of propaganda
for depressing prices.
Il think" said Mr.. Meyer. they
are discouraging buyers. frightening
producers and encouraging bear
appeared to be no doubt that ade-
quate financing was available for
the marketing of crops this year." Mr..
Meyers statement continued:
Looking over the wheat position
of America in the long run and from
broader point of view. the position
of America as a producer of wheat
for export will depend on its ability
to produce wheat at profit in COM
petition with other producing coun-
tries OF the world. There is consid-
cradle opinion to the effect that the
cost of producing wheat in this coun-
try at the present time is such as
to put us out of competition with
countries like Argentina, Australia
and Canada. where lower-priced lands,
cheaper farm labor and generally
lower costs are determining factors.
an Oklahoma and Texas con-
siderable acreage which was planted
in wheat last year has been planted in
cotton this year. If it does not pay
the farmer to produce wheat for ex-
port, then the acreage, as a matter
of business, must and will be ad-
justed in the states where production
can be diverted into other more prof
liable directions until our wheat pro-
duction is balanced with the Ameri-
can requirements"

Senator Robert NJ La Toilette of
Wisconsin is the real Henry Ford of
the western political situation.
Shrewdly keeping in the back
ground at this early date because he
knows how easy it is to spoil ones
chances by premature action, the
Wisconsin senator is the man who
fits in exactly with what the western
farmers really want. They talk
about Henry Ford because his name
is a symbol of their craving. but
what they mean is a La Toilette.
Take the remarkable victory which
Mr.. La Toilette won in Wisconsin
last year. when he swept the repub-
lican primaries and then easily won
the race for reelection. People Won
dered at that situation and attrib-
uted 1t to all sorts of causes, mostly
local, mostly La Toilette himself.
La Toilette Influence.
But then came the Brookhart epi-
sode in Iowa. and after that the
ShipStead victory in Minnesota, and
in a few days there will be another
demonstration in Minnesota of La
Toilette strength in the selection
of a successor to the late Senator
knute Nelson. North Dakota wor-
ships La Toilette. The triumph of
Lynn Frazier last autumn was a La
Toilette victory.
1t is too early perhaps for the gem

ASKS COMPROMISE
ON SHIP LIQUOR
Lord Birkenhead Wants Eng.
land to Accept Secretary
Hughes Proposal.

Unusual interest was evidenced in
diplomatic circles here in a cablegram
quoting in part communication to the
London Times, signed by Lord Birken-
head, former lord high chancellor of
England. strongly urging that the Brit
sh government accept Secretary Hughes
proposal for a treaty agreement which
would permit the movement of sealed
liquor stores in American territorial
waters and the search and seizure of
suspected rum running craft up to the
twelve-mile limit. While comment on
Lord Birkenhead's argument was with
held. when the message was referred
to State Department officials it was
obvious that they viewed it with great
interest.
Significance was attached to his
contention that the Supreme Courts
construction of the Volstead act was
almost certainly right and indis-
putably final and his suggestion that
a convention could be made between
the two countries plainly recogniz-
ing in the preamble the existence
of the binding force of the three
mile limit rule, asserting that both
nations are prepared to maintain 1t,
but placing it on record that without
prejudice to the maintenance of the
rule the British government comedies
to the United States government for
the temporary purpose of dealing
with bootlegging Thea right of treat
ing the waters around the American
coast for a distance of twelve miles
as if twelve and not three were the
international rule
Lord Birkenhead's statement that
"a renewable period of about twelve
months might be suggested in the
first instance" for the duration of
such a convention also was viewed
with interest.

peal. He will be in the Senate. where
avenues of publicity will be open to
him daily. His war record Is little
mentioned nowadays, for 1t only
proved boomerang to those who en-
phasized 1t in Wisconsin. The alleged
persecution of La Toilette for daring
to express his own views was one of
the principal factors in his last VIC
tory in Wisconsin.
BY No Means n Dry.
Mr.. La Toilette is by no means a
dry" But he probably would avoid
prohibition as an issue, for he be-
lieves other things are more impor-
tant to the west just now. Nor is his
voting strength confined to the west.
Large numbers of votes in eastern
cities would be found in the La Fol-
lette column if he were on the ballot.
Many of the foreign-born voters of
the eastern states who sympathize
with the views held by La Toilette
about. the war would bolt the two
regular party tickets to help La Fol-
lette II he ran Independently.
The farmer-labor groups of the ma
ton would be tempted to throw their
strength to La Toilette if the two
major parties nominated men who
were known as liberal conservatives
or even prcgressives. Radicalism is
on the upgrade in the west. Agricul-
tural discomfort is the dominant char
acteristic of the whole electorate.
That's what gives rise to the talk of
Henry Ford, who is looked upon as
the exponent of agrarian socialism.
But Senator La Toilette hasn't
opened up yet. When he does he will
supplant Ford and become factor in
the republican race. giving Mr.. Hard
ing the only real opposition.
Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor-
MIA, Gov. Clifford Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania and others identified with the
bull moose party are back in the
regular fold. Mr.. Johnson, who is now
in Europe, was expected to make a
fight on the world court, but the con-
ceSSionS made by President Harding
in his st. Louis speech have deprived
the California senator of any substan-
tial ground for opposing the renom-
ination of the President Senator
Borah of Idaho has already dscour-
aged talk of his own candidacy, and
he is supporting Mr.. Harding on the
world court.
Attorney General Daugherty said in
Florida last March that Senator La
Toilette would be Mr.. Harding's only
opponent. Much has happened since
then to confirm his prediction. The
west is aching for a La Toilette lead
ership, and the Wisconsin senator will
try his hand at it in the next session
of Congress.

Japanese Say China's Boy

News. Copyright, 1928.
TOXIC. July 14.-Antagonism to-
ward America Is cropping out here
as Japanese become more agitated
over the Chinese boycott situation.
Speakers at many meetings are
charging that American and British
interests are seeking to secure Japa-
nese trade in China. The widest and
most serious charge yet developed
was made at meeting of hundreds
Of business men and political leaders
when one speaker declared that the
American government had sent
$1,200,000 to the American consulate
In China, with the tacit understand
ing that it was to be used in creating
anti-Japanese sentiment.
While such statements are admit
tedly absurd, the fact that they are
uttered is significant, since such
charges never fall on deaf ears, and
also indicate the feelings and opin-
ions of certain sections of the Japa-
nese public.
Fiery speeches also are being made
demanding that the government send
an ultimatum to China and also that
additional warships be dispatched to
halt the boycott. 1t also is urged that
an indemnity be demanded covering
losses suffered by japanese as re-
suit of the boycott demonstrations.
The situation Is daily becoming

The So-called republican majority
