MACDONALD FOR
DAWES REPORT
Premier Urges Allied Lead
ers to Take Immediate
Action on 1t.
FIRST REQUISITE
Plan Proposed by American
Opens Way for Solution
of Europe's Troubles.

London.-The inter-allied conference
for the purpose of making effective the
Dawes plan for German PREPARATIONS as
sembled at II o'clock today at the for
eign office. American Ambassador Kel-
log and Col. James A. Logan Jr, the
American observer with the reparatlons
commission, were present with four adj
visers and number of secretaries.
Formally welcoming the delegates to
the conference. Prime Minister Mac
Donald made especial reference to the
presence of the Americans. He noted
they were not present as full delegates,
but he took their presence as indicat-
ing the good will and cooperation of
the United States in the effort to make
the Dawes plan effective.
Kellogg Responds for America.
Ambassador Kellogg, replying to Mr.,
MacD onald's welcome, said the Amerl-
can government and people believed
the adoption Of the Dawes report would
be the first great step toward stabiliza-
ton of Europe.
Opening the formal proceedings of
the conference, Premier Macdonald
briefly surveyed the reparation prob
lem, urging the importance Of putting
the Dawes report into effect as whole
without change of details. It would be
the business of the confer ence, he said,
to create conditions for the working Of
the Dawes report, the first being the
fiscal and economic unity of Germany,
and the second, adequate security for
prospective investors in the loan for
Germany.
Likes Business Methods.
One great merit of the experts work,
continued the premier, was the bust
ness-like methods they had adopted in
preparing it, and he hoped the present
conference would follow their example.
He pointed out that the Dawes report
was not final solution of the repara-
ton problem, but that it was necessary
to get this scheme into operation be-
fore other problems could be solved.
Therefore it was his desire that the
conference deal solely with the Dawes
report.
Responding to the British premier's
welcome, Premier Herriot of France
thanked his colleague for his "noble
words" He recognized the apparent
difficulties before the conference, but
he thought everyb ody was ''imbued
alike with love Of country and love of
peace" Therefore he believed the in
terests of the various peoples concern
ed could be conciliated.
Herriot Proposes Macdonald.
NJ Herriot proposed Premier Mac
Donald as chairman of. the conference
after which the business of organiza-
tion was begun. Sir Maurice Hankey
was named secretary general and three
committees were appointed to work out
the agenda along the lines OF the Her
riot-MacDonald communique issued
from Paris July 9th. This business ac-
complished, the conference adjourned
until tom orrow.

Railroads War On Proposed Bill
The railroads are making q des-
perate fight on the Howell-BarkIey
bill and have resorted to q campaign
Of misrepresentation to prejudice pub
lie sentiment against the measure.
To push their campaign they organ
lied the American Economic Insti-
tute," headed by A. H. Mulliken, pres
ident Of the railroad supply company.
The attitude Of the railroads was fur
Their revealed at the recent meeting
of the Association of Railway Execu-
tives in New York, when the associa-
ton declared that no condition exists
today calling for urgent legislative ac-
ton by Congress with respect to the
rauF0a0S.
Representative Allen w. Barkley,
sponsor of the Howell Barley bill in
the House, denounced the railroad
against the bill in an in
terview here. He said there has been
a deliberate attempt to mislead the
public, the railroads seeking to show
that the public is eliminated from con-
sideration by the provisions of the
bill. He added that the Board of
Mediation and Cancellation provided
for in the bill would be entirely drawn
from the public and that the public's
interests are amply safeguarded in
the measure.

the true basis for farmer-cooperation,
and shall have done with the false
basis that is generally adopted now.
The farmers Of the United States are
not prosperous as a class, and have
not been prosperous as a class for a
long time. How this fact can be re-
conciled with the assertion already
made that Agriculture has been pros
porous. The explanation is the same
as the one that applies to the position
of the wage-earner. The wage
Garner is not prosperous because he
does not own industry, and the farm
er is not prosperous because he does
not own agriculture.
There is plenty of evidence that
the farmers are not prosperous. Ac-
cording to the census, farm mortgage
debt increased from 5000 1885, 51 in
1910 to $13,775, 550,013, or 117.6 per
cent; in the period from 1890 to 1910
it increaa'd from $1,000, 1923, 165 to
81, $3.50 ,236,951. Doubtless much of
this money was borrowed for invest
ment purposes; but that it did not
produce much profit for the farmer
is shown by the fact, as reported by
the secretary of agriculture, that in
the fifteen wheat states alone more
than 100000 farmers have since 1920
lost their farms or other property
thru foreclosure or bankruptcy, while
more than $4,000 have lost their
property without legal proceedings
and nearly $4,000 are retained in
nominal possession only by the suf-
ferance Of their creditors.

Forty per cent Of the farmers Of
South Dakota are bankrupt, accord
ing to the secretary of agriculture;
and AZ per cent in Colorado, so per
cent in North Dakota, 81 per cent in
Wyoming, and 62 per cent in Mon
tana. Farm values dropped $13,000.-
100000 from Jan. l, 1922, to MARCH
/, 1922, and in 1922 more than 2,0O0,-
600 persons moved from the farms to
the cities.
But we must distinguish between
the farmer as an individual, and the
economic enterprise which he works.
1t does not follow, because the farm
ers have not prospered, that agricul-
ture has been Improbable, any more
than the existence of slums in a big
city proves that the industries of
that city are losing money. The truth
is that the capital invested in agri-
culture has been well paid. On the
$13, IT'S, 5OO,O1S of mortgage debt re-
ported by the census in 1920, the
average interest return was 6.1 per
cent; and the return was consider

result brought about by the ebb aHd
flow of capital and labor in pursuit
Of gain. Since profits can only be
realized by the exchange Of goods, it
follows that no class of goods can
permanently sell on the bargain
counter.
Does that seem a pretty big dose
to swallow? Try to imagine the OPP
posite. Suppose some industry to be
earning fabulous profits. viii not
capital and labor be drawn into it
until competition brings the rate
down? Or, on the other hand, can
you conceive Of capital and labor be-
ing continuously poured into an en-
terprise yielding a lower return than
is obtainable elsewhere? You can
not. You cannot explain the tremen-
dous flow of capital and labor into
agriculture in this country in the last
few decades, except on the assump-
ton that the operation has been pro-
fitable to someone.
Profitable, yes. But for whom ?
That is the whole question. When it
is answered, we shall have arrived at

IHE IA K NJ CRISHS By ANALYST
By ANALYST

Agriculture, capitalized by the mort
gage corporation, the banker, and
the lender of personal credit, rolls
up big profits for the owners of the
money invested; it tends to show
diminishing returns year by year for
the actual producer. It may be well
to emphasize again what has already
been shown, that the cause of this
unequal division Of rewards is not
fundamentally a question of prices
for commodities. The fundamental
trouble is that our whole economic
system is organized, not for the bene-
fit of the producer, but for the bene-
fit of the man that supplies the CAPT.
tai.
Keeping this fact in mind should
save the farmer-labor movement from
serious mistakes. One error it should
guard against is the effort, growing
naturally out of the price-theory Of
farm depression, to unite all farmers
with the wage-earners in a political
movement. Farmers do not fall into
a single economic class. They are
divided among themselves into groups
according to their command of capi-
tai.
In many states a large proportion
of the farmers are true entrepre-
neurs. They own their farms and
their machinery of production, large
ly because they or their forbears
were on the ground before the pres
ent era of large scale capitalist pro-
duction developed.
In other states, where the lure OF
cheap land induced thousands of men
to start farming on a shoe-string,
not ten per cent of the so-called
FARMERS are free from the domination
of outside capital. They are victims
of the fact that the growth and con-
centration of capital is making in
dependent production as difficult in
agriculture as in industry. Their
place, if they only knew It, is with
the true proletarians.
These men can be logically united
with labor in an attack on the CAPT
talist system. But a blanket appeal
to all farmers, which ignores the
fundamental economic distinctions
among them, and attempts to base a
farmer-labor struggle on the myth
that exploitation takes place thru
manipulation of commodity prices, is
useless because unsound in principle,
and dangerous because it tends to
hide the true cause of both agricul-
tural and industrial poverty.

ably higher on the vast unreported
volume Of chattel and crop mortgages
and collateral and personal security.
Probably the borrowed capital invest
ed in farming has regularly paid up
ward of 10 per cent. Considering the
security, that is a handsome return.
Farmers are unprosperous as a
class because they do not own the
capital used in agricultural produc-
ton. AS agriculture grows more and
more complex, it takes more and
more capital to run it. This neces-
sity steadily weakens the farmers
position as an Independent producer,
as member of the petty bourgeoi-
sic, and forces him down to a peas
ant status. He is a victim of the
same process by which small capital
generally has to make way in pro-
duction for large capital. Always
going on, this process is speeded up
in times Of crisis.
1t is common knowledge that the
principal cause of failure in business
is insufficient capital. Thus in the
week ended jan II, 1924, according
to Bradstreet's, out Of SIS business
failures in the United States, 379 in
volved concerns having less than
$4,000 capital, 81 were failures of
concerns with less than $4,000 capt.
tai, % Of the defunct enterprises had
less than $4,000 capital, 33 had less
than 100000, and only 4 had less
than 100000. That has been the
story Of business failures for years.
II is also the story Of agriculture
failure,-for the individual farmer.
