Grains and Fibers.

ture Department from estimating the
cotton crop In advance, but repeated
warnings from Secretary Wallace and
other department spokesmen early this
Spring indicated they feared too much
cotton might be planted.
1886 Cotton Season Good.
Last year about 100000 bales OF
cotton were grown in this country and
cotton growers enjoyed the best season
since 1882 when old stocks of cotton
amounted to more than 5000, 900 bales
and prices slid down to 5 cents a
pound.
Sales Of fertilizer in cotton growing
States. regarded as an indicator of
cotton acreage, have been high since
December and trade experts have esti-
mated the acreage increase at from
10 to is per cent above last season.
Government cotton experts recently
said the sharp price declines in spot
cotton and futures were caused by
favorable crop prospects in the cotton
belt.
Some critics of administration farm
policies contend there has been a sharp
backspin from the first drastic meas
ures OF plowing up cotton and killing
little pigs to the call for filling up
the bins and granaries."
Secretary Wallace says the emer.
gency measures Of 1888 and 1884 were
necessary to remove surplusses that
were depressing farm prices.
Policy One of Abundance.
I'm time of food it is pretty hard
to plan for drought" one Wallace
assistant explained
Wallace said the administration farm
policy was one of abundance" rather
than scarcity and said the ever
normal granary' plan was a natural
development. This would accumulate
surplus yields from good years under
Government plan for use in Door
years.
economists at the Agriculture De-
partment said return of normal Yields
would naturally reduce price levels. but
they added that demand from farm
products had improved greatly since
the depression and was believed strong
enough to maintain prices even with
large harvests this year.
II supplies push prices down too far,
wallace expects farmers to demand
congressional action. If drought or
unexpected conditions reduce Yields
again this year, Wallace said con-
sumers would ask for an ever-normal
eranary to stabilize prices and Supplies.

war debts to other matters such as
,., ,.aue concessions. Representative
Whlte OF Ohio, who wants the debt,
coilected, has introduced a bill pro.
nloltlng trade agreements with war
oeotor countries unless some provi.
SION Is MADE for regular payments on
lne oeots. Senator j. Hamilton Lewis
also has expressed himself in favor O.
this type of provision.
Trade Pact Stress Americas.
II one could regard trade agree
ments as something desired chiefly BY
the foreign debtor countries. there
would be more force to the contentious
OF Messrs. Hill and Lewis. However, it
seems to be fact that the State De.
partment is placing much more stress
on trade agreements than is any Of
the war debtor countries. This fact
would doubtless be in the minds of the
foreign governments concerned in the
svent that war debts and trade agree.
ments came up for simultaneous con.
sideration.
For example, a recent newspaper
article stated
In return for United States debt
concession Britain would offer trade
concessions in the British market.
This is a horse of another
color, not trade concessions by us in
connection with payment of the debt,
but trade concessions to us in con-
nection Herewith. Under the former
arrangement We would accept more
foreign goods, thereby making possible
the liquidation of debt installments.
Under the alternative arrangement
suggested above, debt settlement would
be accompanied by concessions to
American exports.
Quite few Americans will find
appealing the idea of increasing our
commodity exports in connection with
a war debt settlement But, If the
debt payments have been Impossible"
because of the inability of foreigners
to transfer commodities here and thus
raise dollar exchange, the exporta.
ton OF increased quantities Of Ameri.
can goods as result of trade con.
cessions would not tend to make the
foreigners transfer problem any less
difficult.
The war debts were incurred for
American goods and services con-
sumed by foreign countries. The
logical form In which to seek to col.
lect the debts is not gold, nor silver,
but European goods and services.
What we should say to the debtor
governments is this: You have not
been able to transfer payments in
the war debts, largely because of our
tariff policy. Now, let us talk tho
matter over. AS starter, We advise
you that we are willing to take more
OF your goods and services than We
have been. We can't let your mer-
chandise flood our markets, of course.
We cannot consume in peace time as
much OF your goods as in war time
you consumed of ours. But we'll take
more goods than we have been taking,
And we're willing also to take more
OF your invisible exports in the form
OF tourist pounds, tourist francs,
tourist liras, etc. In other words, We
won't send you our goods to pay your
debts to us; but you will send US your
goods for that purpose.

4 LMOST exactly two years after
, ~ 1t was signed, the Buenos
~ Aires protocol which ended the
a Chaco war was on the verge
OF causing new complications to the
peace OF the continent. Last week
the foreign Offices of the American
republics spent some restless hours
over reports from Asuncion that the
carrying out of the Buenos Aires
protocol was being impaired by the
refusal OF a certain group of discon-
tents in the Paraguayan army to ac-
cept the recently accorded regulations
Tor a neutral zone between the two
former belligerents in the Chaco.
Fortunately. the reports proved
somewhat exaggerated, and the Para
guayan government, after some changes
IN the army command in the Chaco,
has reiterated its intention to comply
with the provisions of the Buenos
Aires protocol Of June, 1885. This
reinsurance will be welcomed by the
statesmen of America, for they are
al greatly interested in the final fui-
f1iiment Of the Buenos Aires protocol,
not only because it prevents further
armed hostilities between Bolivia and
Paraguay, but because it establishes
some innovations in the conduct of
international affairs upon which may
depend the success Of the peace ma
chinery painstakingly being built In
the Western Hemisphere.
~ Vast Jnoror@,r,>
As We have repeatedly stressed in
these columns, the carrying out Of the
Buenos Aires protocol Is a matter of
concern not merely to Bolivia and
Paraguay, and not only to the neutral
American states under whose good
of1ces it was signed. but to all the
countries of the New World, for certain
Of its provisions opened new and vast
possibilities for the advancement of
law and the peaceful settlement of
differences among nations
In the first place, the two contend
ing parties reiterated at Buenos Aires
their adherence to the so-called dec
iaration of August 3, 1882" and made
It part Of the preliminary agree
ment which ended the armed hostil-
tiles In the Chaco. That declaration,
1T may be recalled, was signed by the
diplomatic representatives of nearly
all the American republics at Wash
ington, at the invitation of the then
Secretary Of State, Henry L. Stimson,
and was an amplification Of what has
been termed the doctrine Of non
recognition OF territorial gains by
force" first stated by its author In
reference to the Far Eastern crisis.
In other words. both Bolivia and
Paraguay. upon signing the formula
agreed at Buenos Aires, specifically
and solemnly pledged themselves not
to recognize any territorial acquisition
arising out of the war which they had
just stopped. As the war had orig
inally started, precisely, on the
ground of ascertaining rights to terri
tory claimed by both parties, the ad-
mission by both governments that all
territorial differences must be settled
only through juridical means, irre-
spective of the latest positions Of their
armies, had more than purely ethical
and temporary meaning.
It was the first tipe in history
that two nations which had fought
trasically during three long years for
the possession of an area Of land for
mally recognized and agreed that their
