Higher Wheat Prices
Seen for Next Year
From the Des MoineS Rsgister.

From the Dies Moines Rsgister.
Despite damage from rain, this year 5
wheat crop in Russia is reported TO
equal that of last year, which broke
previous records. Russia has Substan-
TALLY succeeded in the effUrt to regain
her pre-war position as leading ex-
porter of wheat. Operating larger
farms with improved machinery, she
may produce even more wheat next
year, but probably her wheat exports
will not be larger. since she plans to
use more wheat at home.
Russia's wheat exports, valuable IS
they have been for that country, have
been a factor in depressing wheat prices
everywhere. But II the amount OF
wheat exported from Russia becomes
more or less stabilized, there may be
enough shrinking In the wheat areas cf
other countries to help prices somewhat.
Department of Agriculture reports esti-
mate a 20 per cent reduction Of wheat
paintings In the Argentine and IS per
cent reduction in Australia.
1t is too early for dependable esti-
mates for Canada and the United
certain to be smaller than this years,
and this-together with foreign cuts
means that the price should be higher.
There has been less voluntary reduction
OF acreage than the Farm Board hoped
for, but some wheat farmers are being
diven to other occupations, and In many
cases lost farms will be used for other
crops or for grazing or will lie fallow
for year.
Just now it looks as II those who have
been praying for a farm upturn in the
wheat belt before next years election
will get at least partial satisfaction.

Caracity to Pay.

Capacity to pay" has been the I'M
DERIVING basis for ntergovernmental
debt payments in the American concep-
ton of the settlement of the war debts.
It Is to remain the basis if the Hoover
administration has its way. A re-
announcement of the policy has come
from the White House, where it has
been made clear that President Hoover
has in mind no cancellation Of debts
owed this country by Great Britain,
France and other European nations
growing out of the World War. At the
same time it is stated that Mr.. Hoover
has initiated no plan for general ex-
tension of the moratorium as between
the governments of these countries and
the United States. THE period of the
moratorium, arranged under the leader
ship of President Hoover last Summer,
Is one year. term in which the nations
have a breathing spell and in which
they are expected to make such adjust
ments as are necessary and as may be
possible to enable them to meet their
obligations.
Many questions are advanced today
regarding what may be expected If,
when the termination of the morato-
rum period has arrived. some of the
debtor nations are unable to resume
payments Here again the capacity to
pay of the nations will be a measur-
ing stick II Is not the custom of the
United States to attempt to extract
money from a debtor who is incapaci-
tated and unable to pay. If time is
necessary to make full payment, it has
been granted. But In the end the
United States will expect its debtors to
lions and individuals rests upon the
recognition Of the moral obligation to
pay debts. On any other basis bust
ness between nations or individuals
would be impossible.
II at the end of the moratorium pc
Rod 1t Is found impossible for debtor
nation or several of them to meet their
annual payments. II their incapacity
to pay has been definitely shown, these
payments may be scaled down. But
the United States is not inclined tc
look with favor upon the postponement
Of payments by its debtors while the
debtor nations expend large sums for
other purposes. particularly arma-
uaents, when the world is seeking less
armament in order to lift the tax
burden OF the backs of the peoples Of
the world. With this attitude of the
United States In mind, the govern
rnents Of the debtor nations should give
careful consideration to their budgets,
and particularly to that part Of their
budgets which covers expenditures for
military and naval purposes.

Coolidge Statement Turns
Eyes to Hoover Prospect.

the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin tn.
Buffalo Evening News and the Con-
nellsville Daily Courier. The Chicago
Daily News says: Political racketeers
who have counted on commercializing
the honorable reputation of Calvin
Coolidge for their own substantial profit
in the coming presidential year ought
to have known that the former Presi-
dent never was in the habit of lending
himself TO the promotion of dubious ad-
ventures. Many Of Mr. Coolidges loyal
friends and admirers regret his volun-
tary retirement from public life, but the
draft Coolidge movement, which Of late
has been gaining Roadway In various
states, including Illinois, has been pro-
NOTED mainly by discredited elements
IN the Republican party or on the be-
draggled fringes of that party. The
experienced leader whose name they
have used so freely has chosen to ad-
minister to them remarkable rebuke
while calling upon the public for united
loyal service"
The incident is viewed with a back
ground Of doubt as to Republican pros
poets by the Oklahoma City Times. the
Scranton Times, the Akron Beacon
Journal and the Omaha World Herald
Denial of the possible prospects of Mr..
Coolidge as a candidate Is made by the
Lynchburg News. the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Baltimore Evening Sun and
the Dayton Daily News. The Portland
Oregon Journal concludes: Mr.. Coolidga
was always credited with being a cannv
politician. proof of which was given in
his string of elections to prominent
offices both in his own State and in
the Nation, and in the great plurality
ne received in 1924. His reputation in
that regard will not be dinnn1ed nv his
refusal to become a candidate for the
presidency in 1882. Were Mr.. Coolidge
candidate he would have good many
things to answer for. While there was
great prosperity during his terms in
the White House. it was during that
time that the seeds of the present de-
preston were in great part sown."

It's members, with q great need of

the uncertainty and fear 1t would en-

The regular session Of Congress opens

business pressing for consideration, in
Guiding the changes in the banking
laws and the passage of legislation
necessary to make effective the years
moratorium of intergovernmental debts,
there will be little real loss Of time.
A contest for control Of the House
organization between the Republican
and Democratic parties is inevitable,
with leaders on both sides today claim
ing the advantage. At present there are
six vacancies in the House membership
election next Tuesday. The Republican
strength today is 2l4 and the Demo-
cratic ala, with the Farmer-LaboI
party having one seat. OF the six va
cancies. four are in Republican districts
and two in Democratic. If all these
districts run true to form in the coming
| elections the Republicans will when
Congress meets have 218 seats to 21e
for the Democrats and one for the
Farmer-Labor party. But the Republi-
can progressives are FESTIVE. Some Of
them threaten to Jump the party reser-
walton. The turmoil of House organi-
zation would scarcely be a help, with
partisan political debate flashing out
when the effort is being made to restore
confidence.
The promise has been made by lead
ers Of both parties to support measures
of the character suggested by President
Hoover for the improvement Of the
banking laws. These promises can be
carried out just as effectively two
, months from now as they can today
The restoration Of public confidence
however is even more important now
than the revision of laws.

Disclosures Show Need
For Judicial Reforms

From the Chicago Daily News
Under the auspices of the American
Judicature Society and other organiza-
tions strong committee of judges and
lawyers has been appointed to STUDY
means Of improving the American
bench. especially in metropolitan COM
munities like New York and Chicago.
Recent disclosures IN the former city
tend to prove that a serious situation
has become chronic. There is corrup-
ton on the bench in New York. if not
elsewhere as well, especially on the mu-
nicipal bench, and there is in conse-
quence maladministration of Justice.
Machine politicians control judicial ap-
pointmentS or nominations, sell Judge
ships and even dictate court decisions
Moreover, even honest. and faithful
judges do not always give satisfactory
service. They may be selected on
grounds totally unconnected with fit
ness for judicial duty. Too many of
the judges in the inferior courts lack
knowledge, experience and intellectual
power.
The committee will make its investi-
cation without preconceived ideas 1t
may recommend changes in constitu-
tional and statutory provisions covering
the methods of selecting judges. Three
distinct questions are involved-train-
ing, selection and tenure.
Partisan and factional politics must
be eliminated from the elevation of men
to judicial office. That is an essential
condition of any improvement worthy
of the name.
The committee should go courageously
to the root Of the trouble and should
propose the remedies, no matter how
radical, that are best suited to correct a
grave evil.

While Labor contemplates the posi-
BILE loss Of fifty of the two hundred
odd seats it held in the late House of
Commons. It yet stands to emerge a
formidable phalanx, thanks to the split
tariff ranks which Mr.. MacDonald's
national government supporters, the
Conservatives and the Liberals, present.
II Mr. Baldwin's protectionists and Mr..
Lloyd Georges free traders put up sep
arate candidates against Labor, the So
cialists may win enough triangular
fights. as they did in 1924 and 1929, to
come out the strongest individual party
in Parliament Then" as Mr.. Seldom
points out In a cable dispatch to the
New York Times, ''the country will be
just where 1t was before, and the
election, as well as everything that
has happened In the British govern
ment during the past six weeks, would
be just wasted time"
Mr.. Macdonald has this dire con-
tingency in mind in appealing to the
country for national unity" He asks
British voters to elect candidates who
will stand by the national government
and to give him a mandate which
can be weakened by no faction OF
opposition. organized or unorganized. 81
Failing such a result. Mr.. Macdonald
frankly foreshadows the possibility OF
involving not only Britain, but other
countries 'in financial panics, social
distress and perhaps even revolution. u
The country's duty, he says, SIS plain
the nation first"
