FREEDOM OF SEAS
MAY Be DISCARDED
U. S., However, Demand
Right to War on Kellogg
Pact vioIators.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

On evidence bearing every sign of be-
ing indisputable, 1t is affirmed that the
United States Is no longer insistent
upon its ancient demand for freedom
of the seas" in time Of war.
Americas readiness to reverse her
traditional position Is directly due to
the implications" of the Kellogg
BRAND pact. Believing that the paets
controlling idea Is worldwide peace
against all disturbers, American states
men have had 10 consider the reSpon-
sibilities which the pact imposes upon
all its signatories. AS one of the worlds
foremost two naval powers, it has come
to be realized that these responsibilities
In our case call for new kind OF "free-
dom Of the seas"--viz.. freedom to use
our sea power in suppression of any vio-
iator Of the war-renunciation treaty.
The Freedom Issue Held vital.
The issue on which the United States
and Great Britain have radically dif-
fered since time immemorial has been
conspicuously absent from the Hoover
Macdonald parity negotiations. 1t is
Washington's desire and purpose to
have that thorny problem out of the
way before confusing it with any other
But there are the strongest possible in
dicationS that not many more months
will elapse before freedom Of the seas"
becomes an earnest theme OF Anglo
American discussion. 1t Is agreed on
all hands that its settlement Is even
more essential to peace than equality
in tons and guns.
Premier Macdonald does not have
to await his arrival in Washington to
discover how the American wind Is now
blowing ON the question Of wartime
rights at sea. With Americas historic
views the British Labor party has al
WAYS been in sympathy. During its late
campaign for office, Mr.. Macdonald ex-
pressed his readiness to negotiate with
the United States along such lines
But when Ambassador Dawes initiated
the present naval discussions, the Brit
ish prime minister discovered, some
what to his CONSERVATION, that opinion
on freedom Of the seas" Is not the
unanimous and fervid American senti-
ment which Great Britain supposed it
to be. Mr.. Macdonald learned that
there are nowadays 1.-TWO schools OF
thought" on the subject in the United
States.
BOrah Heads Old School.
One school is the old one, for which
Senator Borah Is now the principal ana
ardent spokesman. 1t adheres to the
theory that shipping rights Of neutra1s
are sacred from Interference by bellig-
erents. The other school OF thought Is
the one into which Mr.. Macdonald Is
undoubtedly destined o/run If and
when either he or the United States
Government raises the question. What
may be described as this modernistic
school is the one which holds that
enactment of the Kellogg BRAND pact
has produced an entirely new inter-
national situation Its conception is
that the. signatory nations-especially
naval nations-cannot consistently be
shorn Of the power or escape the duty

QUALITY FOR PROFIT IS
MARKET TRAIN SLOGAN

Quality for Profit" is to be the
operating under the direction of the
Extension Service, u. S. Department
of Agriculture and the N. P. Railroad,
which will visit Kennewick and Pros
ser, May 18th. The train will consist OF
two cars Of livestock and livestock pro-
ducts and three cars of horticultural
and general farm crops exhibits. These
exhibits have been especially prepared
for this marketing train and will tell a
story in brief and very pointed way.
That story will be conferred around the
production of high quality products Of
the right kind.
The local committees at both Ken
newick and Prosser are working upon
the details for this day in each COM
munity. Fully 1000 people are expected
at each community to visit the train
and see the exhibits.
We have no hesitancy in saying that
farmers will see type of exhibit which
is rather new and which will tell story
from which many suggestions could be
gathered which will be of real benefit
in the solution of at least some of our
marketing problems.
Farmers should keep the date of this
train in mind and plan on letting moth
ing interfere with making this holi-
day for the entire family. Remember
that free lunch will he served by the
business men of each community to
farmers and their families.

LIGHTER FRUIT CROP
INDICATES BETTER PRICES

The report Of heavy frost damage
to the soft fruit crop in California
last week seems to nave been cor
rect, G. H. Hicks, State director of
Agriculture of the state having in
formed the members of California
legislature that the damage has pro-
vided an agricultural calamity. Hicks
pointed out that the damage to peach,
almond, grape, cherry, apricot and
vegetable crops would reach $5O,OOO,-
900.
Another evidence that the damage
is real was shown last week when
buyers from California canneries ar
rived in Yakima and were attempting
to contract pears, offering as nigh as
500 per ton for Bartletts. They first
offered $50 per ton but when the
contracts were not coming in fast
enough they boosted the price $40 per
ton.
No definite estimate of the size
of the fruit crop in this state, and
particularly in this valley, can be
made until after the fruit actually
sets. That there has been some winter
injury in most Of fruit districts in
Washington is generally believed and
there probably has been some frost
damage and possibly may be more
before we are past the frost period,
but the indications now are that there
will be fair sized soft fruit crop.
Some of the varieties of apples,
particularly Delicious and Jonathans,
seem to be setting lighter than last
year. This is not only true in this
valley but is said to be also true in the
Yakima and Wenatchee districts. This
lighter set is noticeable in those or
chards that produced large crop
last year. There appear to be lots
of fruit buds on the Winesap trees
and barring possible frost damage,
this variety promises good yield.
The next three weeks will be anx-
ious ones for the fruit growers. A
reference to past records reveals that
killing frosts have visited this val
ley as late as May and this being
cold backward spring, damaging
frosts would not be unexpected at an
even later date.
Viewed as a whole, however, the
indications are that the fruit tonnage
this year will probably be below the
five year average and prices will pro-
baby be quite a little higher than
those that have been received dur
ing the past two seasons.

r1itment was made at the Portland

years old at the time of his death.
During his early business life he was
associated with the sugar industry in
tile Hawaiian Islands and later en-
tered the government service in the
quartermaster corps, fortif;cation
division, in the canal zone, which
position he held for Is years during
nearly all of the time the Panama
Canal was being dug.
After leaving the government SER
vice he moved onto his orchard

viously purchased and developed from
its raw state. He lived at Hanford
about five years, leaving about two
years ago. He went first to California

ley who regretted to hear of his sud
den passing.
