This much was decided at the recent visit of Sir Auck- land Geddes to Canada. Geddes will continue rep- resenting Canada and other British lands. ‘The reason back of the withdrawal of Canadian plans was the British belief that if Canada was permitted a special representative Australia and South ‘Africa might ask for similar representa- tion, not only at Washington but in other capitals, Also, it was thought that, granting Canada’ one minister, the Dominion might want representa- tives: elsewhere. “British ambassadors will handle British af- fairs, and it will not be divided among several colonial ministers. No one pretends that this So \will please the Canadian nationalists, and on the}: other hand, nobody believes it will put an end to independent ‘agitation in Canada. ' if AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The cash price of wheat in Fargo recently was $2.02. That is at least 75 cents under what it was before the gamblers and their big banker ac- complices again got control of the market. If all the wheat in North Dakota were to be marketed on the basis of this gambler price, the loss to growers on a 60,000,000 crop would be $45,000,000 , —or about $70 for every man, woman and child in North Dakota. —Mribmke’s Political Organ. Exactly, and who is responsible for that loss? The farmers of North Dakota were advised by Mr. William Lemke, and J. A. McGovern and Dr. E. F. Ladd to hold their wheat for $2.65 a bushtl. The farmers who followed that advice have lost 75 cents a bushel according to Mr. Lemke’s own figures. sei J What do Mr. Lemke, and, Dr. Ladd ‘and Mt. McGovern advise these farmers to do now? Sell or hold?—Fargo Forum.

THE WAY TO WIN In politics as in anything else it is intelligent work that counts and nothing will take its place. The last two political campaigns in’ North, Da- kota, aye proved that value of organization work. by the /independent voters, they have made bi inroads in the strength of the league:gang, and in most cases have succeeded in tuning ‘a"league majority into an independent majority. The success of the efforts of the independent voters in Stutsman and Burleigh counties, prob- jcounty, in particular, set an example for the rest! ,of the state in organization work. The independent voters in that county!were not content with any half way measures. They set out to build a perfectly functioning political organ- ization which would reach every voter in the county, not once but several times during the cam- paign. They Succeeded. Stutsman county, looked upon as a league stronghold, went over into the independent column. The same result was achieved in a dozen other counties in North Dakota, although the turnover was perhaps not quite so decisive as in Stutsman county. But it illustrates the point we wish to make; the way to win an election is to go out and make an intelligent fight for it.” The Nonpartisan league is a highly vulnerable organization. ‘Far from being an invincible ma- chine as many North Dakotans had come to’view it two years ago, it is a machine that can be beaten. whenever an energetic fight is made against'it. It is only in.the counties where no active fight.is put up against the league gang that these huge majorities are piled up by the Social- ists. Year after year we have watched the elec- tion returns come in from the sections of the state and 40 to 5, and what: looked, like victory would be turned into defeat.s)-.:1 Y Why should there be sucly a differénce in'senti- North Dakota?

On September 12th,,1919; Mr. Wil son sent the following telegram to Senator Norris: “Garrison, Mont., Sept. 12, 1919. “Hon. G. W. Norris, United States Senate, Washington, D.

All this after his atten- tion had been called to his mis-state- ment at St. Louis. The plain facts are that Shantung was not promised to Japan by the allies until two years and morevaf- ter Japan had been engaged in/ the war. So the President’s explanation is, to say the least, somewhat awry. | During the time the Versailles peace conference was in. session, Roumania and Serbia became worried, and their Tepresentatives “asked Mr. Wilson what under the proposed League of. Natiors would be/the duty of. the United States if these countries should be attacked. Mr. Wilson’s reply was as follows: again, E “If the world should be trou- led again, ‘if ‘conditions which we all regard jas fundamental are challenged, the guarantee which will be given to you, (in the League of Nations covenant) will pledge that the United States will. send its army and fleet actoss the ocean.” : This answer of Mr. Wilson was tak- ev. down by the official: reporter of the, convention at the‘ time it, wag delivered. It has been quoted, and discussed in the public press \of all countries, and it has never been de- nied, until a few days since, when Mr. Wilson repudiated the official re- port. Under date of-October 5th, 1919, in a telegram to the junior senator from the state of Missouri, Mr. Wilson de- nies that he ever made the statement to Roumanians and Serbs | quoted aboye, and reported. by, the official stenographer. eG In a public statement given to the press of the country under date of October 3rd, 1920, Mr... Wilson says: “There is nothing in the cove- nant which in the least interferes h or impairs the right of con- gress to declare war or not, ac- cording to its judgment.” yet, in a telegram to his secretary, Mr. Tumulty, under date of May 10th, 1919, Mr. Wilson says: “I have promised to propose to the senate a supplement, in which we shall agree, subject to the ap- proval of the council of the League of Nations, to come im- mediately to the assistance of France in case of unprovoked ‘at- tack by .Germany, thus merely hastening, the action to whith we should be bound by the govenant of the League of Nations.” If, in 1919, while President Wilson was in France, he was of the opinion that we were bound to go to the aid of France if she were attacked, ‘it would seem that mere change of local- ity and an impending election ought not to alter the meaning» of so im- portant a document ,as’ the League of Nations covenant. Manifestly, Mr. Wilson's disposition to explain. away the meaning and danger of Article ten of the League is on a par with the explanation of his reason for consenting. to the transfer of thirty millions of Chinese in Shantung to Japan.
