(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ——— Canada and the Waterway It seems that all the dilatoriness and slowness which have délayed the start of the St. Lawrence waterway project haven't come from the United States alone. Canada, too, according to official notes released by the state department, has been partially responsible for the delay. Th northwest has taken a strong stand in favor of the waterway, but, due to the obstinacy of Chi- cago and the more or less secret antagonism dis- played by New York, the project has suffered. Can- | ada, it is believed, wants to wait until the question of*diverting part of the great Lakes water into Chicago's drainage canal is settled. Just why the country to the north of us should be so hesitant is not so apparent. This, after all, is a minor matter. The waterw: hould not be delayed one bit because of any group's obstinacy. North Dakota stands today, as it has in the past, firmly behind the project. It means to this state that a new territory is to be opened for its product. It -will put us next door-te~the ocean. For that reason, the delay seems incomprehensible. A thing which should prove of so wide benefit to so many states shouldn’t be held up because of petty jeai- ousies. And Canada is mistaken in believing that these squabbles indicate the feeling of the entire country. The Pacific Conference One of the most important conferences of na- tions on the Pacific ocean ever held began Friday at Honolulu. It is being attended by delegates from the United States, Great Britain, Japan and China. The purpose of this gathering is to discuss frankly the points of friction between the Orient and Occident, in the hope that a way may be found to reconcile them. Such a conference as this may bring results and again, it may not. History books are full of tales of similar “conferences” at which promises were made and things agreed on—and then nothing was done: But this particular meeting locks promising. If the delegates actually lay their cards on the ta- ble,:coneealing nothing, instead of practicing. the old methods of secret diplomacy, there may be some fargeaching results. The main thing the meeting should effect is gregter amity among the Pacific nations. We might call ourselves fairly ignorant of conditions in Zapan and China. They might call themselves fairly ignorant of conditions here. The result has been the springing up of a group of jingoists in each country, all of them using the same theme. It rung something like this: “The nation across the ocean from you is getting ready to invade your country, despoil your homes and make serfs of you.” A certain proportion of the people believe these things, and it is unfortunate that they do. Better understanding and better knowledge of conditions in the*lands of our Pacific neighbors would do much toward successfully gagging the jingoists. If the conference can bring this knowledge, this under- stagding, it may be considered really successful. s The Rain and the Slope The rain of last Friday did one thing, it brought confidence to the Missouri Slope: The feeling of doubt, the possibility that the crops might not ma- turg successfully was washed away by that rain. Wheat is stooling gut. Rye is almost ready to hargest. Rust is practically non-existent. Other crops are coming well and even the corn, given uy as = “poor crop” earlier in the summer, is making valiant efforts to reach its necessary height. The Slope can well look forward with optimism to this fall. As things stand now, a bumper crop is indicated. Even if adverse conditions arise now, they can’t hinder our prospects very much. Nature seems to have repented for treating us so harshly last. year and to have shown her repentance by promising us what may be the greatest crop in years. > wenl ame Taking Aviation’s Pulse Qiie week's aviation news now shows more flying progress than could be noted in several months’ repérts before Lindbergh flew to Paris. Listing Justga few of the recent developments gives an in-| x. mn of the tremendous progress that is being endowed Guggenheim Fund for the promo- of aeronautics has announced that it is ready equipment loans for the operation of pas- r lines in the United States. It was through nt loans that many railroads and street companies were carried over hard times, the application of this principle of railroad ; to flying is a healthy sign.

Flying around storms is now recognized practice, and alternate routes can be taken if pilots know in advance what flying weather conditions they face. The 2,000 planes and 4,000 landing fields in. ex- istence at the beginning of the year will be aug- mented considerably when the census is taken again next January. And when the British Imperial airways announced not long ago that they were arming many of their pilots and planes ‘to ward off the danger of air robbery, they were not merely gesturing or looking for publicity. Carrying gold bullion and specie by air has become almost universal in Europe, and the super bandit of the air is all but here. When any industry prepares against its crooks, the industry may be said to have arrived. | eee te Governor Smith’s Letter Certain sensational papers in the east are be- ginning to wish they hadn’t been quite so prema- They now have lawsuits pending agains+ them because they published the famous answer of Governor Al Smith to Charles E. Marshall, in which he ably set forth his attitude, as an American Cath- olic, in his relations to church and state. It still a mystery how these papers procured nswer. It was run in the Atlantic Monthly and, according to plans of the magazine's heads, was to have becn released to the papers on the day the magazine came off the press. But, somehow, the sensationalists procured a copy of the answer, probably unlawfully. They ran it in advance of the magazine's publication. Now their choice plum of news must be beginning to turn a bit sour. It is interesting to note that the Associated Press kept its high ethical standards at this time by agreeing not to issue the answer to its members until the magazine authorized it. As it happened, the Atlantic Monthly allowed the letter to be pub- lished a week ahead of the time planned because of the unethical action of the papers, which published it prematurely. Honesty is a major factor in the makeup of the daily newspaper of today, and the Associated Press, in waiting for authorization to publish the lette:, upheld the high standards which have always been associated with it. As for the very few papers which did perform a dishonest deed, all we can do is hope that they get the punishment they rich}: deserve. The trouble with naval disarmament is that it’s too revolutionary.

One of the handicaps the cause of agriculture suffers is fast- ened upon the farmer by the professional farmer's friend of the Brookhart type. The vociferous quack who is permitted to hold forth as a leader of farm- ing opinion turns eastern opinion against the ap- peal of the farmer and convinces the non-agricul- tural voter that the farmer doesn’t know what. ails him, but is. looking only for quack remedics. The sane and sincere voices among farmers and able leaders of agriculture interest are drowned out by the shouting of the radicals and noisy ignoramuses. ‘Take for example Brookhart’s prescription: “Cred- it laws should be amended to enable athe farmers to detive the fullest benefit, railroad securities should be condemned and consolidated at the mar- ket value, the rate of return for all public utilities should be reduced to the average of all capital and the rate of return of corporations in interstate com- merce should be regulated in the same way.” Brookhart is senator from the great agricultural state of Iowa and it is natural that his views should be taken by the rest of the country as representa- tive of the intelligence of the farming. middle west. In the degree that it is taken as representative, the west’s agricultural interests cannot expect a very sympathetic reception for their demands. Brook- hart’s ignorant and vicious ideas, which are more like those of a Russian communist than. of an Amer- ican citizen, are not unnaturally taken as evidence that the midwest farmer is out to smash American business because he can’t have what would be bad for him and hates everybody else for that reason, This is an unjust reaction. The best judgment and spirit of the west are not expressed by Brook- hart, and the east should not be prejudiced against the real needs of the west, its just demands for sound and favorable legislation, the splendid qual- ities of its people and the vital inte: pt af the whale nation in their welfare. ‘The real dedvists of both sections, of business and farming, are closely inter- dependent. Political quackery like Brookhart’s and the agrarian professional radical-should‘not be per- mitted to mislead either section or class or pre- vent them from working together for their common good. 9 America and France (Duluth Herald) Public opinion wisely and -widely approves the idea of having France and the United States agree never to go to war over any controversy, even where national honor is involved. ‘ Some wonder if, in an emergency, the nations would stick to this agreement. Beyond doubt it would have great force, because the citizens of both Powers have become settled in the thought that peace was the law between France and the United States, and as the years went on such a rule would harden until it became quite controlling. Then it is reflected, as there is so little chance of war between these powers, why waste words in treaties outlawing a war that might never happen? The likelihood of such a war is very remote in- deed. But the treaty stands a solemn bargain against even the possibility of war and, above that, the treaty is a fine example to all other nations. Such treaties will make war unfashionable. They will develop a type of statesman whose power will rest on his earnest foresight in preparing for peace, not’on his gad in organizing fleets and armies. In a few words, such arrangements renounce war. When and if this country and France quarrel, figh‘- ing will be barred as » means of forcing an agree- ment. ‘ ' This must happen.

Better see if there's a pin stickine in its tummy, Faith.” In his discussion with Cherry he had evidently forgotten that Faith was hurt and angry, but when he looked up at her as he spoke, the sight of her tense, crimson face and staring, rage-filled eyes must have been a terrible shock to him, His own animation died, and his mouth tightened in a way she had learned to dread. But before he could speak, words begen to pour out of Faith's outh, hot. angry, cataclysmic word: “Let Cherry go to her own child for a change! I'm tired of being taken for granted, like a servant in the house. I haven't been to a s since June, because I've had to care of the baby.

You can get a coloréd girl for tén dolldfs a week, Cherry,” she turn- ed upon her cowering little sister furiously. “and that will leave you ten dollars a week for clothes. God knows I don’t have that much: Her great brown eyes, almost black with despair and anger, flashed from one to. the other of her dumbfounded atidience, then she whirled from them that she-had fled to the room where the baby was wailing—her room and Bob's.
