Suggestion by Dr. Elwood Mead, federal reclamation commissioner, that the western half of the Dakotas nd the whole eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains must be evacuated by tens of thousands of people be- fore agricultural prosperity can be restored, comes as something of & shock to even those persons who have been advocating a return to grass as & part of our agricultural program. It suggests a harsh alternative be- cause no one likes to give up his home and seek new fields. Most of us, like Shakespeare's hero, would “rather bear those ills we have than fly to others which we know not of” if it is humanly possible to do a0. It would be infinitely better for all affected by current conditions to move if, by so doing, they can bene- fit themselves. Putting it in a better light than the enforced breaking of home ties, is a comparison with the spirit of pioneers who settled this part of the country in the first place. They came here because they felt they could better themselves by so doing. The rich prairie lands beckoned and they came. They were justified in so doing, as the records of early agricultural pro- duction prove, but there is no denying that those records show a continued decadence and the question now is what to do about it. Americans never have been reluc- tant to move if they felt it was to their advantage to do so. That still ts the dominant spirit. Thousands have made inquiry of the Tennessee Valley Authority, for example, of the prospective opportunities in the area covered by that great governmental experiment. They are willing to go there if, by so doing, they can win new opportunity. From a state standpoint, no one will welcome a general exodus from North Dakota. There may be and there are alternatives to such @ de- velopment. Our soil still is unmatch- ed in fertility. All it needs is water to make this a real garden spot. If and when it is obtained, North Da- kota will bloom like the proverbial rose. One cannot blame Dr. Mead for ex- pressing discouragement in the face of existing conditions. The spectacle presented by parts of this once lush land is enough to make angels weep. But neither is there reason for adopt- ing a bearish attitude too soon. Our possibilities still are tremendous and we are beginning to find methods of realizing them. A large part of our cultivated land must be restored to grass, of course. If not the buffalo grass which Dr. Mead mentions, then other and more productive grasses. He is right in asserting that we cannot achieve the kind of agricultural development we have attempted. He may be right in asserting that, temporarily, this land cannot support the people who have tried to live on it. But there is no denying that it can be made to do so, and thousands more with them. Our industrial pos- sibilities still are practically untouch- ed and our agricultural opportunities hhave by no means been exhausted. ‘We must agree that it is better to have fewer and more prosperous peo- ple than a state-wide communion of misery, but there is ample ground for the belief that, eventually, we will not only have more people than we have now but that they will be as the rule. The right hand of welcome is extended to us by our Canadian brothers in a practical and intelli- gent way. Tt was easy for them to do this because no other two separate na- tions in all the world have quite the same strong bonds as those between the United States and Canada. The tradition of peace and friendship is bolstered by a mutual understanding which is of vast importance. The same language and the same general ideals of citizenship prevail. Americans traveling in Canada and Canadians visiting the United States find it difficult to appreciate the fact 00 that they really are in a foreign country. Now the customs men are enlisted in the plot and will do their share to erase the feeling that the man crossing the border is about to enter among a strange people. Canada may lose some revenue by this gesture, for not everyone will accept this courtesy in the spirit with which it is tendered, but on the whole it should have beneficent re- Can Europe Stay Out of War? sults, both in increased good will and financial returns.

Langer’s Insurrection (The Milwaukee Journal) ‘When the governor of a state tries to maintain himself in office by force after the highest court to which he is subject rules that he is out, that is insurrection. It is no whit differ- ent from the South American brand that has made the republican form of government an unstable affair among the Latin peoples. The United States has continued to exist because we refused to deal with our political troubles in that way. Gov. Langer of North Dakota was convicted by a jury of his peers of having diverted to political purposes some of the funds which the federal government sent into his state for relief work. He was sentenced to prison. Even though there might have been some doubt in his mind whether this disqualified him from holding office, he should have resigned for the good of his people. And he would have resigned if he had had at heart the welfare of North Dakota. Mr. Langer chose, regardless of consequences, to hang on to the slen- der possibility that a prison sentence did not remove him from office. That, thread is now cut by the high court’s decision. So he turns to the National Guard within his state. It is the method of a Sandino. Of course Mr. Langer has cried that set forth that he is being persecuted because he happens to be a Repub- Necan governor. Well, a jury of his own citizens and the supreme court of his own state have not thought so. Political persecution is always the cry raised by a defeated candidate | south of the Rio Grande when he, gathers his chieftains about him. If Mr. Langer does not step out, federal troops should put him out. The constitution guarantees “to every state in this union a republican form of government.” That includes as- surance that the supreme court of that state shall function and its de- erees be enforced. There is no clause excepting a North Dakota governor from this provision. ‘These are not times when it is well to temporize with such s doctrine as the deposed governor makes the basis for his defiance.

BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 27.—Plenty un- sung heroism went into the making of those NRA service codes which now have been so ruthlessiy ripped as- under. Col. G. Defreest Larner, a deputy administrator over such codes, was re- calling the days when his group sweated to round up hordes of small entrepreneurs for the “fair competi- tion” experiment. “There are 100,000 Chinese laundry- men in this country—more or less,” he said. “And we spent days trying to get the Chinese embassy to teach us how to tell those guys about NRA. “Evety time you tried to talk to them about a code they shut up like clams. They all thought we were trying to deport them.” That problem—one among thou- sands—was never quite solved.
