This newspaper declares that the dominions must have a very posi-| .tive voice in the decisions of the conference. In spite of elaborate British protests to the contrary, there is still the suspicion among American public men that the tenta- ive Anglo-Japanese alliance may be a political or strategic ele-| ment tg the conference which will not be in keeping with the frank spirit of President Harding’s invitation. o The fact that the interests of Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and, to some extent, South Africa, are identical with the| interests of the United States in Pacific matters tends to re-as- sure American opinion. . | Both the dominions and the United States want safety qnd: freedom to trade. Canada’s best interests lie in a policy which “will open up the markets of the Orient to her manufacturers and producers. | i . 1t is only fair that the parts of the empire adjacent to the Pacific area should have the last word in the formulation of an imperial Pacific policy. = 1t is re-assuring, too, to Canadians to find that the opinion of a great American organ like The Tribune tends _tpwurd a common sense adjustment of ambitions, without political sub- terfuge or medioval tricks of diplomacy. . o RAIL RATES ARE REDUCED High railroad fares will not be an obstacle to attending .the International Livestock Exposition at the Union Stockyards, Chicago, November 26 to December 3, this year, as the roads have put into effect a one-and-a-half round-trip fare from all points in the territory marked by about Buffalo on the east and the Missouri river on the west. % ) Tickets will be sold November 25 to November 29, inclu-| sive, good to return up to December 5, inclusive. Y _The 1921 International Exposition will be the greatest llvg— stock and general agricultural event ever staged, surpassing in extent and magnificence any previous display of products of the soil. There will be evening % 3 and instructive, thousands of the best breeding domestic ani- .mals ever assembled, a Grain and Hay Show bigger than ever, a comprehensive Domestic Science Course,.and a gathering of the boys and girls of the country that promises to be y_lotab}e. These reduced rates afford an opportunity to visit Chizago economically. 0: Thsi is a world of information seekers, Total circulation of all Amer- ican newspapers has doubled in the last seven years, says one who is in a wosition to know. That is a long stride forward. It mecans that the aver- age person is twice as well informed about what is going on, all over the earth, as he was in 1914, This is one real benefit of the war, which aroused great’ curiosity and got people in the habit of seeking facts—news. News- papers are as necessary to the well being of the human family as meat and drink.—Mankato Daily Free Press. WMWW ! WHAT OTHERS SAY Wmfi'mmm. | Editor, Bemidji Pioneer:— Your editorial in Saturday’s Pioneer, “Henry Ford and Muscle Shoals,” in which you commend Henry Ford for his efforts to relieve the government of an ahsolute waste upon its shoulders, namely, Muscle Shoals, should be read by everyone, and does credit to you. Ycu virtually intend to show that “Hénry” is not an idiotic idealist, such as the “brass-check” papers have made him appear to be. Henry Ford has been ridiculed for everything he has prophesied or un- dertaken. What a roar of laughter these Wall Street-directed papers tried to.ereatd when he prophesied the use of cowless milk. But, before that, when he led a peace mission to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1916. His reason for this mission was to try to bring to a close the war which already had left great fields of devastation in its wake and had brought untold suffering to the peoples of the various European warring nations. His endeavor in this mission was a complete failure as might have been expected, considering the odds against him. On his return to this country he was hailed as an “awful” pacifist. Even going so far as telling the people of the United States, through their “brass- cheqk" newspapers, that “he would surely be disloyal and unpatriotic should Ameérica enter the war.” Their reasons for suying this was because Mr. Tord declared that we should keep out of the war. But upon the entrance of America into the world struggle, Mr. Ford im- mediately offered the government the use of his factories and machinery without charge. His-opinion was that as long as we were “in it,” we should strive to the utmost for an early vietory. That's how unpatriotic Henry Ford was! He didn’t then, and doesn’t now, believe in war, but as long as we were in-it; we were in it to win! Next was raised a great hallabaloo over his criticism ‘of thé Jews in his paper, the Dearborn Independent. I don’t believe: he was ‘within keeping of his ideals when virtually trying to create ¢lass hatreds in his'¢ondemning| of all Jews for the actions of a few of them in Wall Street—they were the! ones, I believe, to which Henry Ford had reference. They constantly “rode” him because of his refusal to allow them buy stock in the Ford Motor Com- pany, noriaccept their proffered loans of money for which he had no use— their ulterior motive being to gain control of the Ford- Motor Company. " Henry Ford picturized them nothing but a group of conniving exploiters | of-the industries of the United States—and right he was. | In fact, Henry Ford gained the enmity of almost all of the industrial magnates when he raised the pay of his employees to almost twice what some of the other industries were “forced” to pay their men. I became acquainted with a man, who, at one time, had worked in the TFord factories. He admitted.thgt he receives good wages for his toil—but) complained that he had to “work too hard.” The fact is, that this sawe fel- low has only worked two years out of the five years I have known him. He evidently believes in easy money-—just one of that herd who believe that somehow, sometime, somewhere a fortune awaits them. | . Hemy Ford, in his declaration to put a million men to work, provided | he is given the right to Muscle Shoals, has instilled hope with a future into | the minds. of the great army of unemployed, and the laboring.class as_ a| -whqle. It has been shown, in the management of his own factories, that! he is in sympathy with the working classes, and believes i paying his men| somewhere near what they should receive for their’toil, and thereby allow | _E.

Donaldson lost 43 head of cattle re- cently and in his search for them he discovered that rustling has become more prevalent.thaz it was formerly.

Mr. Ford has also offered to buy all the' navies in the world at junk prices—“and then turn them into agricultural machinery and automobiles, if the United States and other powers will agree to disarm on the sea. * * * They may think I can’t finance such an undertaking, but I can. And with acetylene torches and electricity I can cut those warships and make USEFUL things out of them. “If these diplomats mean business, they will accept my proposition and disarm. The diplomats say they want naval force only as a protection. Each one denies that he wants, even for purpoeses of aggression, even the remnant that the Hughes plan leaves each nation. Well, if that ia the case, why should not all of the governments sell their ships f6"me? Pl promise not to use them to fight anybody with. I’ll melt'them yip and make them into things that will make life better instead of worse. - 2° “If the powers will sell me their navies, I' will lelp’solve the unemploy- ment problem. I will not only give employment to, thousands more men in my tractor and automobile works, but, indirectly, I will give employment to many more thousands. # % It is a very dangerous thing to leave in existenca any fraction, however small, of existing navies. Each of these entertainment, both spectacular|parts, if, left, will ultimately be expanded into big navies again, and we shall have the present situation all over again.” The world does not need any of these ships. I need all of them. If I can buy them, I will manufacture things that will make people happy instead of sad.” (The above was quoted from an interview with Henry Ford by an International News representative.) That kind of a man is Henry Ford. He-is for‘the betterment of hu- manity—unlike some of the other industrial leaders:who look forward only to the multiplication of their almighty dollars, regardless of how it affects the nation, or humanity as a whole. ik If we had Henry Fords in our Congress instead of so many Newberrys, we would never know any unemployment problems—nor would the disabled nor the more fortunate soldiers of the World war be disregarded in their Jjust demands for financial assistance, in the form of a bonus.
