In his retreat at Warm Springs Gov.
Roosevelt has just consulted with the
leaders of the National Grange on the
subject Of farm relief. Later be will
have with him the Farmers Union and
the American Farm Bureau Federation.
1t would be relief If these farm Or
ganizations themselves could unite on
a plan of farm relief. One of the great
difficulties that has faced the Congress
and the President in the past has been
the inability of the farmers to agree
on what should be done for them. Gov.
Roosevelt has discussed plans of farm
relief in his public addresses, but so far
has settled on no one Of them, although
he has seemed to lean to the so-called
domestic allotment plan.
The Congress, under the leadership
Of President Hoover, set up the Fed
eral Farm Board, with wide powers to
aid farm co-operatfVes and to under
take "stabilization" of the grain and
cotton markets. 1t was the outstand-
ing piece of Federal legislation designed
particularly for the farmers, unless the
tariff duties fixed on farm products be
considered of parallel Importance. Had
the law been written on the statute
books five years earlier it might have
had a better fate and better reception.
1t came, however, when the country
was on the eve of the most widespread
depression in years. Probably it saved
the farmers from experiencing even
lower depths in the depression of the
last three years, although the farmers
do not see how things could have been
worse for them. The Farm Board under
the new law undertook for the first
time through Federal aid to help the
farmer do his own marketing on a
large scale and to have voice regard
ing the price for which his produce
was to be sold. 1t Immediately aroused
the antagonism of middlemen, who
have lived off the farmers for years
and made huge fortunes therefrom.
With worldwide depression nothing
could have saved the American farmer
from distress in these recent years. He
suffered with the rest of the world.
1t was not unnatural for him, when he
felt the pinch, to be resentful and crit
ical of the very agency set up to aid
him. Some of the farmers have been
among the harshest critics Of the Farm
Board. Naturally, the middlemen have
done all in their power to stir the anger
of the farmers toward the board.
Whether the Roosevelt administration
will undertake to tear down the Farm
Board remains to be seen. But that
the incoming President will seek some
thing new is expected He received
a huge vote in the great farm States
Of the Middle West and the West. That
he will find the problem complex and
exceedingly difficult is beyond all doubt
true.

The Farm Problem Anew.

One of the first problems to be
tackled by the incoming Democratic ad-
ministration win be that of the farmers,
according to President-elect Roosevelt.
1t was one Of the first great questions
taken up by the Hoover administration.
The problem of farm relief has been
with the Government, and Of course
with the farmers, INCREASINGLY. except
during the period Of the World War,
when the boot was on the other foot
and the only question was how to keep
the prices of farm products low enough.
Gov. Roosevelt, during his campaign for
election to the presidency, talked fire.
quently Of the need OF improving the
lot Of the farmers. He said, as others
have said, that it is prime step In
the recovery Of business; that until the
purchasing power Of the farmer has

Conference on Copper
To Seek Cure of Woes
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

While serious problems face the great
conference of the world copper pro-
ducers which will begin its sessions in
New York Monday it is believed in ex-
pert circles here, both Government and
private, that not much can be done to
settle the troubles of copper other than
by assisting in the working out of the
natural law of supply and demand
The extension of the present produc-
ton curtailment agreement for another
year and the allotment of quotas in
the foreign field, excepting Great Brit
ain, are probably the main problems
Last Spring the worlds producers agreed
to restrict production to 20 per cent
of capacity. AS result production
and demand are now believed to be al
most balanced, although, as reported
by the American Bureau of Metal Sta
tistics this week, world consumption
outside the United States and Canada
for the past three months has been
some 1000 tons more than the average.
\ 4 y
The chief difficulty now arises from
the fact that, since this agreement was
made, two major consumers of copper,
the United States and Great Britain,
have imposed tariffs on imports Of the
metal.
Specialists In Government circles. as
well as those connected with private
interests, are RELUCTANT to speak for
quotation on the copper situation at

THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d, IL. d,
Bishop of Washington.

with the bettering of human conditions
in the world in which We live. 1t is
largely a monastic conception and
while this conception has at times pro-
duced great saints, it has demonstrated
its incapacity to win the favor and ap-
proval of men generally.
A second conception of Christian 1altn
and practice is one that may be classl-
fed as altogether superficial. 1t Is an
easy assumption of adherence to Christ
that involves nothing Of sacrifice, ano
that sees no relation between a voluole
profession of faith and the disciplines
that such a profession implies. This
conception grows out of an undue en-
phasis upon what is commonly called a
comfortable gospel" There are many
exemplars of this type, and their easy
and loose ways of profession, coupled
with the inconsistencies Of their daily
habit, DO infinite harm to the Christian
cause. Over and against this we SET
Christ's conception of what He held tc
be the high obligation OF those who
acknowledged His leadership ano
sought to do His will.
We believe that in the passage quoted
above, in which He replied to His Sc
verest critics, Is a definite affirmation
of what He held to be the Christians
obligation and duty. In this single
statement He stretches the bounds oi
Christian service and duty, and makes
them inclusive of every human concern
and interest. The application of this
Is immediate and intensely practical
Applied to the Christian citizen II
means that he shall exercise his obli-
cations as such with sensitive con-
science, clear judgment and a concern
for the highest good of his fellows II
literally means that he shall bring his
Christian faith to bear upon all that
concerns the state and public policies
Christian citizenry necessarily stands
for clean politics, wholesome laws ano
the full discharge of all that is implied
in civic responsibility. Applied to So
ciety, it means strict adherence at ali
times and under all circumstances tC
everything that concerns decency anC
the wholesome things Of human reia-
tionships. 1t means bringing oul
Christian conception of faith and prac-
tice to bear upon everything that con-
Germs domestic happiness, the ways and
manners of social intercourse, in fine
all that is implied in our relation with
our fellows.
AS applied to industry, it means rec
ognizing the rules Of equity and fan
play in all the relationships that con-
Germ the worlds work room. It means
making the Golden Rule the norm OF
standard by which we measure every
act. When the law of Christ Is made
the rule of life, when those who profess
allegiance to Him measurably fulfil
the obligations He lays upon them, we
shall witness a new world wherein
dwelleth righteousness.

A Federal Responsibility.

The group of Washingtonians repre-
ssntirg trade, civic and professional Or
ganizations, which called on the Attor-
ney General yesterday, laid before nm
the obvious facts that if any large dele
cation of hunger or other marchers
con1<S to Washington this Winter, prac-
tica1Iy all the Metropolitan Police De-
partnent will be required to preserve
order: the rest of Washington will be
virtually without police protection and
II the situation becomes menacing the
Federal Government should immedi-
ately assume all of its responsibilities
and prevent disorder instead Of with
holding action until disorder has begun.
The only request that the citizens
made was that the Attorney General
bear these things in mind and the only
promise the Attorney General made
was that he would.
The specific details Of this exchange
of views are Of less interest, therefore,
than the general situation which
brought it about. Those who come here
in the guise of mass petitioners are not
concerned with the local community.
Their business is exclusively with the
Federal Government, which also exer-
cises exclusive jurisdiction over the
local community. But while the moral
effect CT their visits may be intended
for the Federal Government, the physi-
cal-and far more important-effects
are felt entirely by the local community.
The members of the local community
are irnpotent and helpless, as far as
concerns anything they may do to deal
with a situation which they have no
part In creating Even such matter
as the ALLEGATION of police protection Is
out of their hands, and is exercised ac-
cording to the discretion Of the Federal
Governments agencies for governing
the Capital.
The number Of such agencies, their
overlapping authority and their some
times conflicting Jurisdictions are the
cause of uncertainty and some en-
barrassment There is a certain amount
of Tweedledum and Tweedledee dis
cussion over who shall do which. do
what, and do when. Granting the Fed
cral Governments inability to cross
all bridges before they are reached. or
to make decisions in advance OF know
ing what is to be decided, the delega-
ton which called on the Attorney Gen
eral was correct in emphasizing the
fact that the responsibility rests with
the Federal Government and nowhere
else.
How that responsibility is exercised
and through what agencies, is a mat
ter that concerns the local community
only to the extent that the Federal
Government, while meeting its respon-
sibilities to its petitioners from the
States, also meet its seh-imposed re-
snonsibilities to the citizens of Wash
ington. These latter, ironically enough
lack what the petitioners have-which
is the right of participating in the az
fairs Of their own government.

the present juncture, particularly In
view of the fact that, on the surface at
least, politics enter so largely into 1t.
From authoritative sources, however, 1t
Is learned that American copper pro-
ducers are very much interested not
only in future production quotas, but
in price stability and in the preserva-
ton of world trade in the metal as well.
These authorities point out that at
present the United States, roughly
speaking, produces somewhat more than
SO per cent of the world supply from
its domestic sources and that American
interests in various countries of the
world, notably Chile, control the pro-
duction of a considerable percentage Of
the remainder. Thus Americans have
a vital concern in the main question
which must come up before any world
gathering of this kind.
The question is from what producing
area can the world need of copper be
met at the lowest cost? Existing
agreements-in fact the entire existing
situation-have had the effect Of prac-
tically eliminating the worlds cheap
est copper from the international trade
Tariffs and excises are bound to have
still further influence on the situation.
There is, however, such an interlocking
economic solidarity among those en-
gagged in producing copper all over the
world that. authorities believe, 1t does
not seem likely that the present state
of disorganization can continue for.any
length of time.
The conference which viii begin its
deliberations Monday will have to con-
slider whether, under the new American
and British tariff restrictions on I'M
ports, high-cost producers who play
over international boundaries will fnd
it practical to compete in markets out
side their own country.

"Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars; and unto God the
things that are Gods. s."-St. Mat
the1U, rrii.2f.
The above statement came from
Christ in response to an inquiry that
was made by his severest critics con-
cerning the payment of tribute money
The design of their inquiry was obvious
They sought to embarrass Him by
bringing Him into opposition to the
existing authority of the state. If He
repUdiated the tribute money He would
incur the stern censure of the ruling
powers; If He favored it He would win
the displeasure of those who regarded
tribute as an unjust tax laid upon them
by an alien ruler. The answer of the
Great Master contains one Of the most
significant statements He ever made;
in it He makes clear His conception OF
the Christians obligation, in a word
affirmS that the area of Christian faith
and practice Is co-eXtensive with all that
concerns life here and now. His word
Is in consonance with His declaration
concerning the greatest commandment
namely, love of God and love Of ones
fellows. We are also reminded that in
His prayer for His own disciples He
prayed: Not that Thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that Thou
shouldest keep them from the evil
There is nothing in Christ's teaching
designed to separate His followers and
those who accepted His leadership from
those common concerns that have to
do with life here and now. Civic duty
social obligation, our relations with our
fellows in our daily occupational life
all these constitute the range OF
Christian service The whole gamut OF
life is the legitimate area in which
Christian disciplehood finds its field OF
operation. Too many Of us seem to
have the conviction that Christian faith
and practice have their sphere of op-
Grafton within certain limited confines
They are largely personal to us and
have to do with our own spiritual de-
velopment and they find their largest
expression in an occasional act of re-
ligious devotion. Thus this limited and
restricted conception of Christian belief
and service has had disastrous effect
upon life in general and has served to
repel men and women who regard It's
appeal as unworthy and unsatisfying.
There Is one conception of Christian
disciplship that has repeatedly found
expression, that regards the follower OF
Jesus as being wholly unrelated to
mundane and worldly interests. It Is q
type of faith and practice that would
pursue life here and now, disavowing
all responsibility for its concerns, with
its whole vision fixed upon the life
that is to be. 1t means segregation and
separation and it diScloSes itself in an
unwillingness to assume Just and con-
sistent obligations in all that has to dc
