3ders felt sure that the cash-and-
carry plan would pass the House,
Whatever fate might be in store for
it in the Senate, but they guessed
wrong. Passed, by vote OF ia

resentative Vorys fatty specifying
that no belligerant nation, large or
small, may purchase arms and am
munition in this country.
Other sections of the bill, which
received House approval by the mar

that congress, as well as the Presi-
dent, may declare that state OF
war exists between nations that U.
| S. citizens will travel on ships fly
ing the flags of warning nations at
their own risks, and that purchases
of non-war materials in this coun-
try by beligerants must be on the
cash-and-carry basis.
There is a certain practical weak
ness in forbidding belligerents to
buy arms hereafter all, such
peaceful commodities as Oil and lea
ther and metals are as vital to the
pursuit of modern war as shells and
guns and airplanes. But the ac-
ton of congress shows the growing
feeling that the cynical lessons we
have learned from our participation
in the last war make it essential
that we do everything conceivable to
maintain absolute neutrality. y

MORE FIGURING

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics informs us that the cash in
come of American farmers from all
sources during the first five months
Of 1899, was AZ million dollars more
than during the same period Of the
previous year. But we must re-
member that the government bor-
rowed about ISL million dollars to
help under their farm program, and
figures show that sales from farm
products decreased 104 million dol
lars. So this doesn't make the first
figuring mean so much. If you are
getting less from your product and
the government Is spending money
towards increasing it, there is some
thing wrong in the figuring. The
federal loan must be paid. The
farmer must not be too confident
with the AZ million dollar increase.
