Wheat Growing Countries
In Conference at Geneva
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Can the wheat producing and ex-
porting countries Of the world be
induced voluntarily to limit production
and exports, or must there be some
international agreement. signed and
sealed by governments, with quotas OF
output and export fixed?
While this has hitherto been the line d.
viding the point of view OF the United
States and that Of the other wheat
growing countries. hope for change
seems justified now as a result OF the
meeting in Geneva this week at which
delegates of the principal wheat grow
ing countries, including the United
States, met for discussions preparatory
to the International Monetary and
Economic Conference scheduled to as
semble in London on June IL.
With our stabilizatiOn experiment by
the Federal Farm Board concluded
the board having disposed Of its finAl
wheat holdings only few days ago
and with wheat selling at the highest
prices in several years, the American
delegates at Geneva were able to pre-
sent a clearer case than at the confer
ence two years ago in London. Since
then we have actually reduced the
acreage planted to wheat. and the ad-
ministration's new farm bill makes
production such as We have never had
before.
The American delegates at Geneva.
Henry Morgenthau, ST.. former Ambas-
sador to Turkey. George c. Haas OF
the Federal Farm Board and Frederick
Murphy, publisher OF the Minneapolis
Tribune, were empowered to join with
the representatives of the other wheat
producing countries In agreeing upon .
basis to curtail acreage and arrive at
some stabilization of exports that will
hold wheat prices at profitable point.
While this preliminary meeting In
cluded delegates from the four princi-
pal producing countries-the United
States, Canada, Australia and Argen-
tina-the purpose. it is admitted by

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANpER JOHNSON.

Looking Out.
Life's q most mysterious thing these
busy, dizzy days.
You've got to keep q lookout In q
dozen different ways
Lookin' out for autos that come hurryin'
down the road
And wonderin' if they'll run you down
or only just explode.
across the track,
Lookin' out for money that goes out
and won't come back
Lookin' out for theories that swiftly
raise you to the sky
And maybe crash and make you wish
you hadn't flown so high.
Lookin' out for germs that come nyin'
through the air,
Lookin' out for holidays" that add
unto your care;
Lookin' out for prices and q wonderin'
how they'll go;
Lookin' out for sunstroke or else lookin'
out for snow.
Lookin' out for burglars when you shut
the house at night,
It often seems existence isn't regulated
right.
I'd like to be more cheerful. but I can't
see what about
You never get look-in. You Just keep
on lookin out.

lay embargoes On vessels and shipping.
In 17eS the President was empowered
ito remit and discontinue" the prohi-
bitions and restraints on commercial
intercourse with France: In 1909 and
1910 Congress voted to authorize the
President to act in connection with
prohibitions and restraints" of trade
with both Great Britain and France.
BY the act Of March 3, 1915. the repeal
of discriminatory duties was authorized
whenever the President should be
satisfied" that similar duties against
the United States had been abolished
In more modern times. by an act passed
In 1884, Congress gave the President
authority to suspend collection of ton
mage duties on condition of reciprocity,
which he actually did in proclamations
issued in the early months of 1885.
1t was in 1890 that the first act re-
lating to tariff and rates of duty alone,
and presidential authority over them,
was passed by Congress-the famous
Mckinley law. Since then no fewer
than six different acts of Congress have
conferred upon the President varying
degrees Of power In relation to recip-
rocal agreements and control of rates.
The Fordney-McCumber law of 1922
(section 3l5) empowered the President
to increase c. decrease duties imposed
by the act SO as to equalize ascertained
differences between the American cost
Of production and that In the principal
competing foreign countries. Thus was
born what Is now popularity known as
our flexible" tariff provision. It is
maintained in the Hawley -Smoot tariff
act Of 1890. which is still the law.
In direct point, in the light of cur
rent events, was the challenging OF the
constitutionality Of the flexible tariff on
the ground that such provisions dele
cate to the President the legislative
power to lay and collect taxes and
duties. The Supreme Court. in q de-
cision rendered by Chief Justice Taft,
upheld the constitutionaity Of section
3l5. Questioned since the Hawley-
Smoot law was enacted, the United
States Court Of Customs and Patent
Appeals again sustained the flexible
tariff provisions as recently as Decem-
Der, 1892.
Thus it can be seen," concludes Miss
Kelsey, that the powers granted the
President by Congress have been con-
sistently upheld by the courts and in
very few cases even questioned. -
History shows that submission of tariff
treaties for Senate ratification is most
unsatisfactory, because conflicting in
terests are bound to develop, making
1t difficult, If not impossible, to bring
about the consummation Of such agree
ments."

THE MOTHER
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D., IL. D,
Bishop OF Washington.

MARY kept all these things and pom
dered them in her heart"
This word was written Of the mother
Of Christ as with amazement she OBJ
served the development of her Son. OF
no one does the gospel narrative dis
close more Of understanding of this
strange child that was born in Bethle-
hem than His mother Repeatedly,
those who were the closest companions
of the Master found themselves be-
wldered by His Incompatible teachings
and life. They could not and they
would not understand Him. Not SO His
mother. From those quiet, sequestered
days at Nazareth, on through all the
dramatic scenes of His life, she alone
was capable of fathoming the meaning
OF His mission and Of understanding
the high motives that actuated Him.
When He was found amongst the doc
tors, after He had been missed from
the family company. she seemed for
moment to be incapable of grasping the
situation. His reply to her searching
inquiry may have startled her. when He
asked: Know ye not that l must be
about my Fathers business?" Her
confusion quickly gave way to a fresh
apprehension Of the high purpose of
His life.
Again at Cana, where the first mir
acle was wrought she showed her deep
understanding Of His power when she
said: whatsoever He saith unto you.
do It,"
No pen has ever described the long
days OF His sojourn In the humble home
In Nazareth; no artist has been able
to depict this scene. but the growing
intimacy between mother and Son must
ever stand as an annal too cacred to
be recorded. When at length He came
to the days of His intense ministry, she
1t was who. above all others, followed
Him, her intuitiOns being day by day
confirmed as she beheld His amazing
development. When at length the
shadows involved Him and His chosen
followers abandoned Him, it was the
mother who could not and would not
leave Him.
Possibly no more beautiful word was
written concerning this greatest of
mothers than the brief statement in
the record Of the crucifixion story:

Mothers Day.

q No word ever has been invented ade-
quate to the need in expression Of the
tender relation between mothers and
their children. It is bond beyond a
name, tie defiant Of symbolic descrip-
ton. Yet the term commonly applied
to the dearest parent has been ccnsid-
cred one of the most truly beautiful
phrases in the English language. 1t
would seem that at least small :--cas
ure of success has attended the en-
deavor to translate the emotion into
uttered sound. Only two brief sylla-
bles, it has the implication Of music
when gracefully pronounced.

Communism and Young America

Proof Of a persistent organized effort
to pollute the young people of this
country with communistic principles is
afforded by the disclosure that an in
stitution that has been for some months
maintained at Sacramento Calf, as a
home for wandering boys has been in
fact q recruiting center and school
under the active direction Of the Young
Communists League Of America. with
headquarters in New York. A news
dispatch to this effect. printed yester-
day, states that the organizer and man.
ager Of the home has, after an investi-
CATION, made . complete confession,
acknowledging that similar activities
under the guise Of charity are being
conducted in one hundred or more cities.
1t has heretofore been observed that
in all the open demonstrations Of radi-
Gals in New York and other centers the
ranks Of those attending and partici-
pating have been largely comprised Of
young people, both boys and girls. The
existence of the Young Communists
League of America has been known for
some time. Incendiary documents and
veritable text books of communism have
been obtained as evidence Of the propa-
ganda. 1t is believed that these manuals
and instructions have in their original
form been supplied from Moscow. The
organizers and conductors Of these
groups are identified with the American
branch of the Third Internationale, the
headquarters Of which are in the Rus
sian capital
The public schools Of some Of the
larger cities Of this country have been
entered by the promoters Of this move
ment to proselyte the younger genera
ton of America to communism. This
work has been conducted secretly. with
what effect can only be conjectured. as
it is difficult to ascertain the extent to
which the youngsters have accepted
allegiance to the red nag in substitu-
tion for the national emblem.
The confession Of the promoter Of
communism who has Just been uncov-
cred at Sacramento should result in
wholesale overhauling Of institutions
such as that at the California capital,
of which he has been manager and
which was created, with public support,
definitely, though secretly, for the pur-
pose of creating a red nest" If, as he
says, there are one hundred other such
institutions in America it should be easy
to identify them and to cleanse them
of this noxious influence or to close
them altogether.
The hope Of the communists in this
country lies with those who are now
children, but who in few years will
be workers and voters. There are mil
lions of young people now of school age
who are vcarious sufferers from the
economic depression that has prevailed
here for several years. They are ripe
fruit for the teachers Of revolution.
Some of these teachers not definitely
known as agents Of the communist Or
ganizat.on, but nevertheless dangerous
influences in contact with the impress
sionable youth of the land, are mask
ing their reactionary principles with
apparent fidelity to the fundamental
doctrines of government. An important
part of the house cleaning required to
prevent the pollution Of the young gen.
Grafton Is the uncovering and elimina-
ton Of all such as these.
