A PROBLEM ALSO OF INTEREST
TO u. s.

Day by day Germany wakes strong
er. Day by day she is on the way
once again to be formidable antag-
onist should occasion arise. Her
people now number sixty-two and
half millions, or five and a half mill
lions less than she had before the
war. But it should be borne in mind
that she lost two and half millions
in the war and seven millions more
by cessions of territory. Germany Is
growing stronger.
France, clearly comprehending the
disposition of her next neighbor, is
vet distrustful and cannot be expected
to find unalloyed satisfaction in wit
Messing the increase of Germany. And
yet to keep that neighbor under Sc
we're restriction has not prevented
growth and renewal of strength and
in the nature of things must perpet-
uate ill-will, so there is danger from
that source as well.
We In this country are interested
In there being secured a fair adjust

Is idle to deny that Once we did
and later were forced into intimate
and very unpleasant relations with
their troubles. The Atlantic ocean
today Is an untrustworthy barrier.
Whether we like it or not we will be
well advised to acquaint ourselves
with the situation overseas: the time
may come when there will be need OF
intelligent decisions respecting 1t.
Hope Of solution frightened when
the last German note was made pub
lie. The impression got abroad that
Germany had at last recognized the
light. There is not now quite so
much Of assurance Of it. France Is
becoming more skeptical the more
she studies the German reply. There
is no question but Germany is work
ing to get rid Of the. Versailles Trea-
ty. Perhaps even France might
agree to that after time. but she
doesn't think that time has yet ar
rived, and many who have noted
Germany's reluctance to keep her
agreements are likely to be some
what Of like mind.
That treaty France regards as a
source Of protection from aggression
on the part Of Germany. Her ap-
prehensions on that score are great
er than respecting the ill-will which
IL likely to be kept alive by her in
sistence on the treaty. Germany
complains that France acts as though
she didn't regard Germany's word
good. We don't know what assurance
France can possibly have for conf
dence in Germany.
France would have Germany in the
League Of Nations. but Germany
asks that she be admitted on equal
terms, which might not be with the
restraints placed upon her by the
treaty, and replies that in conse-
ouence these should be revised
England desirous of a solution and
not being in position to be so appre-
hensive of Germany. as is France, i.

claims, 1t appears. but France will

pleasant alternatives If what sht
decides shall not prove favorable tt

Crossing the country In 16 days,
distance of 3,377 miles, Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene H. Farwell, accompanied by
Rev. w. F. Ineson. D. D., of the Com
munity Church at Yakima, Wash.
and Mrs. Ineson recently arrived at
Portland, Me-, coming by automobile
from Yakima. The trip was unusual
in that they found good roads nearly
every mile of the journey, had no ac-
cidents of any kind and only expert
enced two hours rain to Portland.
Mr. Farwell is native of Cumber-
land, Me-, and left home when II
years of age. He has been in the
wholesale grocery business in Yakima
for the last 20 years. He disposed Of
his holdings about six months ago
and decided to return to Maine and
will locate in Auburn. Their trip
across country was over the Column
bia highway and Oregon trail to the
Lincoln highway which they struck
in Iowa and followed that through
to Massachusetts. DR.. Ineson is a
native of F'reeport and is one of the
outstanding pastors Of the North
west. For six years he was pastor
of a large church in Portland and
for the last II years has been pastor
of the Community Church in Yakima
The party planned to drive through
to Wiscasset where Mr.. Farwell
hoped to meet A. P. Bailey with
whom he roomed for four years when
both were ir the employ of the Bos-
ton Elevated, but learned after
reaching Bath that Mr.. Bailey had
moved to Upton, Mass, and as he is
going to Boston this week plans to
meet Mr.. Bailey at that time. Mr..
Farwell spoke highly of former
Path boy, the late John McGraw, who
served Washington as it's governor
for two years. He was a member of
the police force when Seattle was
young and served as mayor of the
city several terms before elected to
the governorship.

That It is possible through personal
contact with business firms on the
other side of the water to have a
much larger market for Maine prod
ucts in Great Britain than she now
has is the belief of Howard B. Saw
yer, assistant treasurer of Saco and
Biddeford Savings Institution, Saco,
and for several years in England as
manager of the Anglo United States
Timber company. Mr.. Sawyer was
for five years in charge of this Eng
lish timber company, which furnished
North American white oak for freight
cars and coaches. While engaged in
that capacity he was able through
personal contact with thousands of
customers in all parts of Great Brit
ain to find purchasers for American
automobiles, tires, and also for some
brands of Maine canned goods. He
is doing something now towards in
teresting his acquaintances in Eng
land in Maine canned peas. He be-
lieves that with a representative in
England who has large circle of &C
uuaintances in that country and in
addition n general knowledge of
Maine products, a great deal more
could be accomplished in getting a
market for Maine agricultural and
industrial products than is now being
done. Mr.. Sawyer was in conference
recently at Portland, with A. l.. 7.
Cummings, manager of the state
chamber of commerce, regarding the
possibilities of a more general dis
tribution of Maine products in Great
Britain.
