and untiring presentations. In re-
cruiting, in selling bonds and war
stamps. in food saving-what might
have been the result II the editors
of Idaho had devoted their time to
partisan politics or had just foioed
their hands?
The newspapers did not directly
build any reservoirs, or any rail-
roads or telephone extensions, all SO
necessary to our development, or
start things going in the timber or
the mines or revive the livestock IN
dustry or invest millions in the
dairy business, but if they had de-
voted to partisan politics during the
past few years the same energy ana
space they used in behalf OF those
vital developments in our state, our
own people would never have been
awakened to the necessity OF COOP
Grafton and outside investors would
have passed us up as being dead
ones.
Reference is made, in this contrast,
to partisan politics because there are
any number Of people who have an
idea a newspaper is merely polltl-
cal vehicle This may, be because
its political utterances arouse I'M
forgetable interest in view OF neat
of the campaign and also because
political propagandists are always
seeking and getting newspaper motor
iety through presentation or thelr,
novelties. The fact is, however,
that the newspapers devote the
greater part of their efforts to pre-
senting the less dramatic facts bear
ing upon the substantial develop
ment of their communities and their
state.
The writer has been keeping tab
on this situation and knows WHEREOF
he types. A careful measurement
and computation shows that 70 per
cent. ofS the news" and editorial
space of Idaho newspapers for the
past three months has been given
over to mining, live stock, dairying,
railroad construction,
telephone development, commercial
activities and kindred subjects.

necessity for it. It's the most de-
tructive agency in our material, and,

LONDON, March 2S.--ln the frs.
of series of articles which he is
contributing TO the Westminster Ga
zette, DR.. Fridtjof Nansen records
the Impressions he received in con-
versations with Russian leaders at
Moscow during February
DR.. Nansen says that the question
OF most concern to the officials was
Russia's reconstruction and the res
toration of normal economic rela-
tions with other. countries. The
writer quotes Trotsky as relteraitng
Russia's desire for peace and as
pointing out that she offered to cut
er army TO 100000 men if other
countries would make a similar re-
duction, but that the proposal was
not accepted. notwithstanding the
possibility of an invasion OF Rus
sia by Poland and Rumania, the
Russian army. Trotsky said, has
been reduced to 100000. which is
less than half of the standing peace
time army during the cZarist regime.
DIR. Nansen quotes TrotSky as as
serting that Russisfs aim is disarma
ment and the establishment. of a
militia similar to that Of Switzer-
land.
Complete disarmament" the So
Wet official said, cannot be contem-
plated until Europe unites in a fed
Grafton of states. which offers the
sole means OF withstanding Amerf-
cas- economic hegemony. If gem
eral demobilization can be effected
Russia will propose an international
disarmament commission."
