ILTRA-SHORT WAVES IN THE

TO CROPS

MOSCOW, Jan. 9, (FSU)-During the
past year the Institute for the electrified
ton of agriculture has carried out extern
sive attempts to employ ultra-short waves
in the struggle against injuries to agricul-
ture, which have produced very important
results. 1t has been established that one of
the most dangerous enemies of the seed
crops, the weevil, has been destroyed with
in "a seconds by means of playing rays on
the seed with five metre ultra-short
wave. In addition, the weevips eggs and
larvae have been destroyed also. Wire
worms have been destroyed by ray of
four seconds. The raging periods have
been established by means of investigat-
lions and have at the same time been used
in order to influence favorably the fertility
Variations of the rays have been establish
ed by investigation in order to suit various
kinds of grain. This electric raging can
produce a speedier ripening and in some
cases can richard the ripening. Next aut-
umn a greater quantity of seed grain will
be subjected to the new method of treat
ment from which it is expected favour
able effect on the seed grain and dimun-
ition of less through damage will result.

Another plan would be to guaran-
tee such a loan. A great advant-
age would be that all the money
would be kept in the United States.
eve could keep on with our
trade and increase it, till the war
ends, and after the war Europe
would purchase food and enormous
supply of materials with which to
re-equip her peace industries. We
should thus reap the profit of an
uninterrupted and perhaps an en-
larging trade over a number of
years and we should hold their
securities in payment.
"On the other hand, if we keep
nearly all the gold and Europe
cannot pay for reestabhshing its
economic life, there may be a world
wide panic for an Indefinite period.
"Of course, we cannot extend
such a credit unless we go to war
with Germany. But is there no
way in which our government
might Immediately and indirectly
help the establishment in the
United States of a large Franco
British credit without violating
armed neutrality? l do not know
enough about our own reserve bank
law to form an opinion. But these
banks would avert such a danger
if they were to establish such q
credit.
Danger for US is more real anc
imminent, l think, than the public
on either side of the Atlantic un'
derstands. If it be not averted be
fore its manifestations become ap
parent, it will then be too late tx
save the day.

To The President.

To The President:
THE inquiries which have made
here about financial conditions dis
close an International situation
which is most alarming to the
financial and industrial outlook of
the United States. England has
not only to pay her own war bills,
but is obliged to finance her Allies
as well. Up to the present time
she has done these tasks out of
her own capital. But she cannot
continue her present extensive pur-
chases in the United States with
out shipping gold as payment for
them, and there are two reasons
why she cannot make large ship
ments of gold.
In the first place, both England
and France must keep the larger
part of the gold they have to main
tain issues of their paper at par;
and In the second place, the Ger
man U-boat has made the ship
ping of gold a dangerous procedure
even if they had it to ship. There
is therefore pressing danger that
the Franco-American exchange will
be greatly disturbed; the newt
able consequences will be that or
ders by all the Allied governments
will be reduced to the lowest pos
sible amount and that trans-Atlan-
tic trade will practically come to
an end.
"The result of such a stoppage
will be a panic in the United
States. The world will be divided
into two hemispheres, one of them
our own, will have the gold anC
the commodities; the other, Great
Britain and Europe, will need these
commodities, but it will have NJ
money with which to pay for them
Moreover, it will have practically
no commodities Of its own to ex
change for them. The financia
and commercial result will be al
most as bad for the United State
as for Europe. We shall 500
reach this condition unless we tax
quick action to prevent it. Grea
Britain and France must have
credit in the United States whic
will be large enough to prevent tn
cillapse of world trade and tn
whole financial structure of Eu1
ope.

Prime Minister Not Elected

The prime minister, or premier,
of England, is not elected. He Is
named by the crown. The nomina-
ton Is somewhat restricted, how
ever, since a prime minister could
not carry on the business OF gov
eminent without the confidence of
the house Of commons, and such
q vote of confidence is essential to-
retention Of Office. That is, when
one party loses power the prime
minister resigns, and with his res
ignation his cabinet Is dissolved.
There usually is a recognized lead
er Of the opposition party, to whom
the formation of q new cabinet
can be intrusted.
