COSGRAyE on TOP

AS this is written the returns from
the recent Irish election are not yet
all in; such things take time in Ire
land. What is evident Just now Is
that President Cosgrave has a lead
OF such small dimensions that it may
be overturned when the counting is
over. If he succeeds in retaining his
toehold it may mean that the politi-
cal parties are SO evenly divided that
the government can scarcely put
through any policy it may desire but
will have to be one Of the coalition
variety. Indeed some observers say
Cosgrave will refuse to form new
ministry under the circumstances
The parties in Ireland are many,
but for purposes of ascertaining
what will happen when the Dali
votes they are divided into two sec
tons, those for the government and
those opposed to il. In the govern
ment section is the government
party itself the Independents. and
the Farmers party. In the section
opposed to the government admin
istration are the Fianna Fail, the
Labor party, the National League,
and the Communists
The Free State government ap-
pears heading for a deadlock. In his
prediction speeches President Cos
grave insisted that unless he OBJ
tanned a substantial majority over
the Opposition he would refuse to
form government, but as strong
pressure by business and commercial
interests will probably try to prevent
him from throwing up the sponge in
this manner, it is possible that the
Free State will get a government
'haL Is scarcely any stronger on
any vital isue, than the Opposition.
Only by having President Cosgrave
continue at the helm of the ship, re-
CARELESS OF the storms is a loan pos
sible. II the supreme test Of Euro
pean governments is their capacity
to negotiate loans. President Cos
grave may find it expedient to quail
~ as head Of the government; and as
no party wants another early cleo
ton. the likelihood Is that the Free
state will have to go through a spell
OF $3.50 government.

the farmers. as they only raise the
stuff. The low level. indeed, did not
seem possible a month ago. Wheat
in Chicago is around sl.25 a bushel
The returns TO farmers will be nil.
and those in possession Of high
priced land Will find the income be-
low the cost OF production.
All of which has an oulinous ring
about ia political ring. that is If
there is anything that makes farm
ors sore it is low prices for grain
and when they are in that frame of
mind almost nothing the admins
tration can do will satisfy them
Naturally they will he strongly in
favor Of pricc-fiXing on the McNary-
Haugen plan, or any other plan that
will fix the price considerably above
the current quotations.
The corn situation is no better
than that surrounding wheat The
corn yield is regarded as d miracle
"a late start gave the impression
the yield would be less and for six
months prices advanced. Then came
the no. September weather in the
middle west and in two weeks corn
prices fell more than they had ad-
yanced in six months. The low,
prices, however, have the advantage
of making it profitable to feed the
product 20 hogs, and as the advance
has been general in livestock prices,
the corn farmers are not as badly
off as the wheat farmers.
The agricultural situation always
las political effect, although no
administration has the least influ-
cnce with furnishing the kind of
weather needed to raise prices. 1t
simply is fashion to look with
favor upon an administration func-
tioning during time OF high agri-
cultural prices and to look with dis
favor upon one unfortunate enough
to reign during a low period AS the
Coolidge administration thinks little
more is necessary to help the farm
ers than to preach more co-opera-
ton" the feeling in the corn and
wheat belts will not greatly alter
from what it has been the past few
years.

by the Democrats. according 10 this
crudite individual.
OF course, the debt referred to
came during Democratic admins

as a result Of the great war. Ac-
cording to the doughty colonel, per
haps the war would have been won
quicker had there been moro econo-
