M. Kharakan, on behalf Of the

the French Ambassador: 1T is impossi-
BILE to overestimate the importance of
the offer of the French minister OF
foreign affairs but the Soviet govern
ment is compelled to state that this is
Of no purpose. owing to the refusal OF
the Chinese authorities to restore the

government must declare that no one
is so concerned about maintenance OF
peace. and that there is no reason for
doubling that the u. S. S. r. has been,
and remains, a bulwark of peace"

that China. as a prerequisite for a
conference to negotiate differences be-
tween the two countries, release Rus

ing them to their former status and
cancel illegal orders" issued in that
province. This last was inferred to re-

For the past two years the Minneapolis Civic

cized by the McNary- Haugen bill supporters be-
cause the Association went record as opposed to
the equalization fee which caused President Coolidge
to twice veto the measure President Tenney and

it looks like mere gesture in endeavor to place
the Civic and Commerce Association in good stand
ing with the supporters of the McNary-Haugen bill
F. E. Murphy, publisher of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune broadcasted an attempt to stampede the rural
press Of the state last week urging them to sign
telegram of protest against the bill. Something like
20 of the nearly 500 newspapers of the state

The effort to have President L. A. Rossman and
Secretary Sam S. Haisett of the Minnesota Editorial
Association, indorse the movement behalf of the
Association failed dsmally.
It is not so many years ago that handful of
the editors of the State burned their fingers by

FARM CHILDREN's RIGHTS


Children born on farm ought to have the same
opportunities to secure education as those born
in the cities, but they not getting it. They will
never have it until parents realize fully how
necessary it is for them.
During period of ten years enrolments of
farmers children at the University of Illinois in
creased only 20 per cent, while those of skilled lab
increased 247 per cent. The highest percent-
age of increase shown in the children of car
penters more than 500 per cent.
It is true that the farmer has had hard times,
while the skilled workman has had comparatively
good times, but this could hardly account for
the poor showing among young people from the
farms.
One trouble is that parents do not take the inn
portance of education seriously enough. They do
not make the sacrifices necessary to give the young
sters fair start. Unless they want their children
to continue to do the drudgery of the world in larg
share than is fair they must give more attention
to their education.
If the boy girl must remain on the farm to
work, there many opportunities for selfimprove
ment, especially in winter, and there many in
expensive correspondence courses which would be
most beneficial in preparing them for the battle Of
life
In these days anyone who really desires to be-
come reasonably well educated do SO, through
determination and conscientious effort. Parents
should encourage such effort.
