Farmers and Their Market

The federal farm board has encountered deter
mined opposition to its basic policy almost at the
outset of its effort to help agriculture if Senator
Nye of North Dakota is informed correctly
This policy is the fostering of co-operatives to
market the farm crops. 1t is the heart of the whole
farm relief program. The farm board will aid in
the formation of co-operatives advise them and lend
them money.
The attack the boards policy according to Nye,
is coming from the grain commission men, who object
to the handling of wheat through farmer owned
agencies sponsored by the board They are fighting
the recently formed Farmers National Grain Cooper
ave which is to be the master organization through
which it is hoped the bulk of the countrys wheat crop
may be sold.
Naturally. the success of this undertaking would
mean elimination of many commission men in the
grain centers Profits which they have been enjoying
would go to the producers The commission dealers,
according to Nye, have been collecting toll every
bushe of grain raised, have manipulated prices and
controlled grading
They have he asserts, grown rich while the farmers
"were sweating blood and undergoing poverty" Now
they are bringing political pressure to block the
boards program and Nye predicts fear, sabotage,
boycott, and threats"
The fight between private business and public
grain projects is not In Nye's own north
west it is familiar story 1t was an important factor
in the Farnler-Labor Non-Partisan League, and
other agrarian movements.
Congress and the Coolidge and Hoover adnlinistra-
tons continually have stressed the necessity for deve
cping co-operaves the first essential of farm
lief The governments participation in lieu of
the equalization fee the debenture plan and other
devices for which the farmers asked and which they
were denied.
The present plan can not be made effective with
out interfering with the business of grain commits
sion men, Chicago grain gamblers, and others in
private business. So we have the first evidences of
a between a well-organized business group and
the of unorganized farmers.
Chairman Legge of the farm board is represented
standing firm against the attack of the commits
sion men,
1t well may be, Senator Nye said, that the out
will spell the failure not only of the
farm relief program, but of the Hoover admnistra-
ton, in the eyes of the west and south.

Leads to Peace

TT is to such end that a league

logg pact and all other activities in
the interest of orderly peace are
leading.
Shudder at is though we may,
and vince at the surrender of SOW
ereignty it involves, we might as
we'll accept it as the one alternative
essential to give international law
a solid foundation.
The land lends itself to division,
because Of the boundaries and bar
ricades that can be established on it.
The sea, however, can be parcelled
out in no such way.
We can zone it, define it and
claim it in theory, but we can not
destroy its unity.
Even the air above a country can
be apportioned to fit the land, but
the sea is out yonder.
The sea, and the sea alone, repre-
sents a common heritage and it is
from the sea that we eventually
shall learn to understand and solve
the problem of common interests.

Oyercrowded Prisons

Attorney General Mitchell in his annual report to
congress, forcefuIy calls attention to the federal
governments problem In coping with tremendous in
crease in the number of federal prisoners All inst
buttons are overcrowded dsgracefuly, and prisoners
are scattered throughout the country in county as
Year by year the situation gets worse.
Sanford Bates, superintendent of prisons, makes
number Of recommendations for congressional action
First and most important is the erection Of additional
prisons He would employ specialists to handle vari-
Gus phases of the prison problem, provide convcts
with work. develop the probation system, put drug
addicts special institutions and attempt to rehabi
itate prisoners so they will be useful citizens when
they are freed.
The prison problem is not new. congressional
committee in fact already has made a survey and
prepared legislation for buildings, which action
will be sought at this session. The department of
Justice now offered definite program with which
few persons will disagree. There is evidence Of
desire to coddle prisoners, but rather desire that
they may be treated humanely.
Bates says more intelligence, patience, more
Equipment, more personnel and therefore more
money" is needed to meet conditions
Congress will do well to take this problem in hand
before it gets any worse.

The States Help Out

The states seem to be getting the jump on the
federal government in making the prohibition laws
harsher
The much-debated question of whether the buyer
of liquor is guilty along with the seller has been
settled in Alabama. The state supreme court has
ruled that purveyor and customer are equally guilty
In Pennsylvania, an ancient statute providing a
fine of $500 or three years in jail both for knowl
edge of felony and failing to report it is being re-
Vived and tested in a liquor case.
The state supreme court of Iowa has established
the rule that state search warrants no longer are
necessary within its boundaries
If this keeps up, there will be no necessity for
congress to consider the various drastic measures now
pending. There will be limits to which the states
already have not gone
Perhaps it is just we'll for federal prisons al
Aready house twice as many as they were built
so accommodate. There would be place to put
the prospective crop of convictS, unless the alter
native of capital punishment were resorted to.

danger of coughing, splitting and
sneezing and methods Of spread
ing infection from one child to an
other.
AS might have beeen expected,
the communicable diseases of child
hood such as influenza, chicken
pox, measles, Whooping cough,
numps, German measles, scarlet
fever. pneumonia and diphtheria
caused the next largest number OF
absences.
Especially significant is the fact
that the infectious diseases most
prevalent in the school were those
also most prevalent throughout the
city, except for diphtheria, Of which
there was only one case during the
entire eight-year period, although
there were numerous cases through
out the city.
The authorities explain this by the
fact that carriers we're promptly
eliminated; children who had con-
tact with cases outside of school,
were controlled, and the Shick test
and toxin antitoxin for the pre-
vention of dihptheria were extern
siVely employed.

TXTHEN I awoke this morning.
w neither bright nor early, I
found myself past 20. Something
will have to be done about it. At
80 there may still be time to frivol.
At the age of the consciousness Of a
duty to posterity is seldom fully de-
veloped
Often I did things of light import
when I was 80. Late hours, cards
and general shiftlessness, once and
SO often, were included in the
scheme of things. There have been
speakeasies which knew me and
would cash check.
And in the discharge Of my news
paper duties it must be admitted
that not all the words set down in
every column were polished jewels,
fashioned with care and industry.
Twice, or maybe three times, [ just
janmed old odds and ends together
saying with the cyncism of youth,
at will suffice"
But with this last birthday I have
definitely turned my back upon
youth and its follies. If I am ever
to amount to anything the time for
sprinting has arrived. Hannibal
took an army across the Alps long
before he was 40 and Shelly was
precocious. It's up to me to get busy.

They also caused more days Of alb

During the years 1927-192& some
$40 children were enrolled in the
elementary school. Among them
there were 1894 cases of respira-

For the whole period of eight

attack on respiratory diseases.
Unfortunately we have no specific
method of preventing these condi-

between the children, and this itself
is practically an impossibility.

Shone for All

I'm this connection, it is interesting
l. to recall that the lighthouse was
perhaps the first human enterprise
ever conceived for the common good.
The lighthouse shines for every
one.
When the men of old Tyre lit
beaconS to guide mariners, Just be-
cause there was danger, they ex-
pressed an idea out of which has
grown the sanest modern conception
Of those human relationships which
transcend race or nationality.
A free sea is not only indispen-
sable to prevention of war, but to
safety.
We can not hope to establish an
adequate number of lighthouses,
life-saving stations, or patrols with
out worldwide cooperation.
Yesterday brought us news that
sixty-nine vessels had been wrecked
as the result of the European storm,
with the loss of 1853 lives; that pi-
rates had attacked a British ship
in Chinese waters; that the Repub-
lie entered New York karbor with
eleven rescued sailors.
Such things remind us that the
sea still is perilouS, and that much
remains to be done to make it safe.

REASON By Ff HzSDIS

THE Russian Bear should feel much better now
l. that Secretary Stinsons note has given him the
opportunity to unload the cargo of hatred he long
has borne account of our refusal to recognize
him as nation.
Whatever else comes of it. the incident is sure to
defer our recognition of the Soviet for long time to
come.
While it would have been cruelty to animals to
compel the Bear to get along indefinitely with all of
this hatred canned up inside of him, the Snlson note
an amazing folly
The minute that note was issued many a corn
field sage saw that it exposed to a solar plexus
reply because we had not recognized Russia
But this does not necessarily mean that secre-
tary Stnson is to blame, since such steps are usually
decided only after conference which the Presi-
dent holds with his advisers the result of the
ference going forth the utterance OF the secretary
of state
Before other international matters present them
selves it is to be hoped that wiser sages will be
moned to contribute to THEN solution.
OF course Russias insistence that no nation which
" signed the Kellogg treaty has a right to COM
plain when the treaty is violated, is just ordinary
bunk
1t is not necessary for the treaty to provide that
the wronged parties may complain for that is implied
in the agreement.
The ordinary legal contract between private citizens
does not say that if contract is violated the in
jued party may not go to law about it, for that is
not necessary.
OF course, it is pure rot for Russia to say the
Stimson note an unfrendy act" when it merely
reminded Russia that she and fifty other nations
had promised to abstain from war when they signed
the kellogg treaty.
According to Russia the only way to fill this world
with friendships is to permit all nations to violate
their agreements when they sc desire.
THE nations which signed the Kellogg pact became
l. partners in hrm engaged in selling world peace
to all mankind it devoted to the grand objective
of providing all peoples with doves
Then one of the partners Russia, INTRODUCES the boa
constructor of into the dove cote and when an
other partner America objects to the consumption of
the doves by the boa constructor Russia regards that
objection as "unfriendly"
1t is interesting but not encouraging, to note that
in presenting her" case, Russia does not indulge in
the venerable subterfuge of self-defense.
Openly, frankly, she confesses that she is covered
with the warts of mperialistc sin but declares that
the other powerful nations in the same situation
1t is a brazen avowal of duplicity, cynical sheer
at the idea Of honor among nations

VALLEY FORGE
December ii

IN Dec. II, 1777, General George
W Washingtons army went into
winter quarters at Valley Forge, Pa.
Occupation of Valley Forge came
after the battles Of Brandywine and
Germantown and the encampment
Of the British in Philadelphia.
Washington chose Valley Forge
partly for its defensibility and part
ly to protect congress, then in ses-
sion at York, Pa.
Due to incapacity Of the quarter
master general and the commissary
department, the men we're left with
out adequate shelter, food or cloth
ing and in consequence suffered
terrible hardship, many dying of
cold and starvation.
1t was at Valley Forge, however,
that Baron Steuben trained, disci-
plined, and reorganized the army
and thus enabled it to fight with
greater efficiency in later cam
paignS.
About $50 acres of the original
camp ground has been converted
into Valley Forge park, containing
Washington's headquarters and
other historic landmarks that have
been preserved or restored.

cause, being obviously step in the direction of
world peace which America has been in the vanguard
in promoting, were bound to join sooner or later
and delay made us appear hypocritical when talked
of our attachment to the of abolition.
Not only that but the world court is largely of our
own making. The United States has been advocating
just such tribunal for than half century, both
Republican and Democratic presidents taking the
lead in urging it upon other nations After it had been
created pretty much according to specifications
i'll became us to be the only nation earth of any
consequence refusing to be member.
In fact, this countrys critical attitude toward the
world court, under the circumstances, has been to
blame for much Of the criticism leYeed at us from
abroad.
Since the worldwide adoption of the Kellogg treaty
outlawing war; adherence to the world court has be-
come, to all nents and purposes imperative even had
it not been so before.
Let us hope the senate acts promptly.
