That’s why moth- er’s copper wash boiler leaks through the hole in the bottom. The water starts its journey back to} | the sea, soon as it gets a chance. Sun evaporates ocean water. inland, condenses and falls as rain. You see this rain when you stand beside a river. It is flowing —back to the sea, seeking its own level. : There you have thé’ universal principle that gov- erns all men and all conditions created by their stupidity or intelligence: | The average farm-hand’s pay has dropped to $43.32 a month without board and $30.14 a month with board. Uncle Sam’s department, of agriculture an- nounees this. It points out that farm wage rates during 1921 dropped an average of 37 per cent. That decline about matched the drop in whole- sale prices of food. Observe the universal law at work—wages and prices seeking a common level. Herbert Hoover furnishes tables, showing | prices out of line. Some prices are twice as high as in 1913. Others have deflated to the pre-war level or below. ‘ Gradually you'll see all prices meet at a com-| mon level. No one knows what that level will be. | Prices extremely low now may rise to strike! a medium with prices now extremely high. Then, when equilibrium or balance is establish- ed, a business boom will start. Ability is among the things that seek their own level, for the law of compensation is a natural force, as inexorable as the law of gravity. That’s why “you can’t keep a good man down.” That’s why the incompetent is shouldered aside by a better man. We have to pay for everything in this world. And, in the long run, we get.no more out of life than we give. ’ TAKE OFF SPECTACLES Take off blue spectacles after reading this:| India reports that her foreign trade is picking up, also a decided improvement in internal business conditions. y The world-wide collapse of prices, which started | hard times, began in India in February, 1920. | Next month it broke out violently in Japan.

The fire will flicker out. That is what happens when you work or sleep; in stale air.

Next day a wildcat |gusher or a new field is brought in. The world’s loil. resources probably haven’t been more than scratched. One well in Persia has produced 26,000,000 bar- irels in 10 years and still yields 13,000 barrels a day. INDIANS STRONG FOR JAZZ Shimmy. and other jazz steps have taken the ‘place: of primitive dances on the Seneca “Indian reservation near Buffalo. Tom-tom has passed out and the saxophone come in.

It’s a circular road. \ EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this colimn may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. | | i . THE POWER BEHIND THE BLOC An observer looking about for the most power- ful political figure in the United States at pres- ent would have to. pasg,over, the president, who ‘yas been defied. by congress, and also the‘old-line party leaders within congress, who have been de- fied by the agricultural bloc. He would have to ‘pass over the bloc itself, for it has been doing a number of things it didn’t want to do, and search for the organization or the man who has been dic- tating to these Middle Western representatives and senators who hold the balance of legislative | power. The organization is not hard to find. It! James R. Howard is its president. Two years ago Mr. Howard was a farmer in Iowa—a dirt farmer, though he has a college de- gree. Now-he sits in Washington and tells the administration where it gets off. Behind his words is the grim conviction of several millions of men who have’ had an unusual run of hard luck lately that the government has never paid enough attention to agriculture and that when favors are being distributed in the future ‘the farmer will realize cn a few campaign promises or know the reason why. The disconcerting phase of the mat- ter is the absolute sincerity of Mr. Howard and his followers and the absence of radicalism in) their platform. They are content with the eco-| nomic system as it stands, but they want the busi- ness overhead reduced and a voice in decisions as | | well as a larger share in returns. | Seemingly they do not realize how revolution- lary all this must appear to the Old Guard.

The nationg in: Europe which want the Genoa conference to be held for the purpose of cooperation § all around declare that’France instead of Germany ‘is preparing for a new war in order to get permanent pos- session of the Rhine. They also say France cannot legiti- mately demand that Russia’s foreign debts be paid until France pays her own. ‘France owe’ more money. to foreign nations on which she is pay- ing no interest whatever than Russia. The Gerioa conference may end in failure but it will have marked a beginning. The original program of the Genoa conference eventually’ will have to be taken up:by another con- is the American Farm Bureau federation, and/ference. There is no other way of/ saving Europé as a whole. Four Problems ‘on Slate At Genoa or at a subsequent con- ference the following problems will have to be faced, for until they are solved, chaos in Europe will continue: ONE—Revision ofthe ‘indemnity | demands.on Germany #o that the Ger- \man people will have am incentive to reform their currency and resume their normal economic’ life by ‘being allowed to keep some of the profits of their labor.
