The Threatened DISRUPTION
OF the Lausanne Conference

" HE Lausanne conference has been
threatened with disruption so repeat
edly that one more presagement to
that effect bestirs no great alarm. Since its
opening on November the twentieth of last
year, this council for Near Eastern peace
sessions. On the second day, which was the
first of definite business, came a clash
Great Britain, France, Italy and Greece on
the one side, the Turkish Nationalists on
the other; and Soviet .Russia's entrance
served only to heighten the stress.
Among the more critical problems to be
settled. are the freedom of the Dardanelles,
the frontiers of Thrace, and Of Syria and
Irak, the rights of foreign residents in Tur-
ton of Christian minorities under Turkish
sway, and international economic interests
in Mesopotamia, notably in the great oil
fields of that region. That the waters join
ing the Aegean and the Black Sea should be
free for the passage of the ships of all ma
tions Is principle for which the Allies have
steadfastly contended and to which America
is committed. BY way of opposition Soviet
Russia has done its utmost to steel the Turk
against any yielding. This issue, however,
has not proved as difficult as have some 9TH
ers, particularly the rights of foreign resi-

Mosul oil district.
It is to this last item that the storm cen
ter seems now to have shifted. From Lon
don comes cable as significant as it is
brief: "In view of the Turkish attitude at
Lausanne regarding the Mosul district, the
British military authorities in the Irak have
dispatched a battalion of troops and also
a few afrplanes to the area between Mosul
and Sherghat, sixty-five miles to the south,
as precautionary measure" To what even
Qualities this may lead, there is yet no pre-
dieting. The Turk has carried so many
points at Lausanne that he could we'll at
ford to be conciliatory; but on that very
account he may prove to be doubly arrogant.
From the outset he has made the most of
his own advantages and Of Europe's disa-
bilities in the divided counsels of the Allies.
II he should press his high-handed tactics to
the limit of war, he may find more vigor
in the British lion than he seems to sus-
pect. But renewed fighting in the Near
East, together with the present inflammeble
condition of Central Europe, would be in

commodity it has been applied, whether to
fruits or to cotton, to the lightest perishables
or to heaviest staples, it has proved workable
and profitable.
So much for the evidence, which could be
multiplied through columns. But what of
the reason? Why for instance, did the earn
ings OF California raisin growers increase
from eight cents>to forty-eght cents of the
consumers dollar? The answer IS given
tersely by Frederic J. Haskin In this wise:
Because cooperative marketing means mer-
chandising product instead of, dumping it,
Georgia bears witness to this truth in the
recent experience of her associated cotton
growers. They have received a much better
average of prices than have the unorganized
individual growers by virtue of the business
foresight and general efficiency shown in
marketing their product gradually, over a
period of months, supply and demand
made advisable, instead of pouring it into
the market at the height Of the most con-
gested season. Those who are wise enough
and loyal enough to the common interests
to follow this good plan deserve success and
are certain to command it.

To Increase Farm Prosber;ty

M business engineer as Herbert Hoover
calls the cooperative farm market
ing movement "the greatest hope of agri-
cultural prosperity in the United States" we
can we'll afford to ponder his meaning. If he
speaks advisedly-and in his chosen prov
ince, apart from politics, he usually does
then it behooves all interests and all regions
of America, particularly those which like
Georgia depend chiefly on products of the
farm, to promote cooperative marketing.
Certain it is that those followers of agri-
culture which have tried the cooperative
plan under rafr conditions have enjoyed fa1
ricner prosperity than ever their old sys-
tenn of selling procured. California raisin
growers who formerly received only eight
cents of the consumers dollar now receive
forty-eight. Georgia cotton farmers who
have marketed through the cooperative as
