NEW YORK. March /. = The
United States has turned into a ma
ton OF professors. People are be-
wildered. They are trying to find.
not smiles and a handout. but the
road forward. Their task is made
all the more difficult by selfish in
terests and a veritable flood Of pro-
paganda.
Across this writer's desk come a
thousand pleas. a thousand de-
mands.
A few OF the questions raised will
be touched on today.
Land For Food Crops
G. M. Garren of Raleigh. N. C.,
writing to the Raleigh Times, urges.
Il am very solicitous that all to-
bacco and cotton farmers utilize
released lands for growing food
and feed crops. Food and feed
crops mean plenty OF corn. DO not
depend on buying IL; for tobacco will
sell for less than 1t did the past sea-
son.
According 10 data nov available
our cotton-export trade is well-night
The alphabetical codes
formulated at Washington are prov
ing very successful for the cotton
growers Of Egypt North Africa,
India and China. This means low
cotton for the southern farm
er for years to come 80"
A Disturbed Industry
An Akron. O.. tire worker desires
10 know why the tire companies,
which piled up tires in anticipation
Of a strike have been engaged In a
price war which will cost them more
than recognition Of a union and
wages.
Worse. this indicates what would
occur If business went back to cut
throat competitive methods, without
lettering codes or other restrictions
Business might commit suicide, and
pull the innocent with 10.
In the present instance. manufac-
turers. sensing the danger. got to-
to try TO stop the price war
las they got together against the
unions.
Pacific ManeuverS
There are protests BY many or
CARNATIONS against u. S. naval man
euvers in the Pacific.
One Of the most strenuous pro-
tests has been made by the Commit
tee on Social Service Of the Northern
Baptist convention. Of which the
Rev. X. "A. Fridell Of Seattle Is chair
man.
The committee asserts:
MANY citizens believe II Is dan
gerous as well as un-Christian for
a great nation like ours to send its
navy halfway across the Pacific to
thumb noses at Japan"
The committee adds that motion
picture theaters seem TO be DELHI
erately stirring up a war spirit to-
ward Japan" and our metropoli-
tan papers carry constant headlines
warning us against Japan
For Small Business
Federal ~chartering or licensing OF
enterprises that engage in interstate
commerce, TO protect small bust
nesSes. Is advocated by A. B. Wal
ION. OF Cleveland, president Of the
American Bureau Of Commerce.
Walton says congress must regu-
late big business or big business viii
regulate the government.
Walton sends to this column this
quotation from a decision OF the Ohio
supreme court, in 1892, on monopo-
lies.
"MonopolieS have always been re-
garded as contrary 10 the spirit anc
policy or the common law" says thi.
Ohio supreme court decision.
"A society In which a few men are
employers, and the great body are
employees OIL servants. Is not the mos
desirable in a republic. and II should
be as much the policy Of the laws
TO multiply the number engaged ir
independent pursuits. or in the pro.
fits of production. as to cheaper the
price TO the consumer.
Such policy would tend to ar
equality Of fortunes among its citi-
zens. thought 10 be 50 desirable in q
republic, and lessen the amount Of
Dnyerty and crime.
1T is true that. in the case Just
cited. that monopoly has been Great
ed by letters patent. but the obiec.
tons lie not IN the manner IN which
the monopoly Is created. The ef-
feet on industrial liberty will be the
same whether created by patent, OF
by extensive combinations amonr
those engaged in similar industries
controlled by one management.
BY the invsriable laws OF human
nature. competition viii be exclud-
ed, and prices viii be controlled In
the interests Of those connected with
the combination or trust"
