As ee ee Here Are the Facts Arguments that the tariff on wheat does not help the American farmer are being riddled by the daily wheat market reports showing prices paid in this country and in Canada. American wheat growers, ever since tho emer- gency tariff of May, 1921, have received more for their grain than Canadian growers. Today wheat in Minneapolis is quoted at twenty cents a bushel more than wheat in Winnipeg. There have been days recently when the difference was even greater. These facts show there is something wrong with the free trade internationalist argument that the tariff does not affect American wheat prices so long as this country has a surplus of wheat for export. It is maintained by opponents of the tariff that Liverpool makes the price for both American and Canadian grain, and that a tariff between the United States and Canada cannot affect the final price since both the American and Canadian wheat surpluses lose their identity and reach a price parity in the world market. This is theory. What is the fact? It is that Liverpool does not determine wheat prices in this country if the United States has a protec- tive tariff on wheat. If Liverpool were the final arbiter of wheat prices they would be the same today in the United States as in Canada, just as} they were under the free trade provisions of the Underwood tariff. A glance at the record will be instructive. In 1920, when wheat and wheat products from Can- ada were admitted into the United States dut; free, wheat was higher in Winnipeg than Minneapolis and Duluth. This was largely due to the fact that Canadian exchange was at a dis-|” count. Actually, in terms of American money, prices in the two countries were approximately on the same level. But when the emergency tar- iff went into effect in May, 19 the position of the American and the Canadain markets was reversed. Within thirty days the Minneapolis price had climbed above the Winnipeg price, and although the general price trend was downward | for the rest of the year, the decline was much| greater in nada than in the United States. By| December, 1921, Minneapolis wheat was worth $1.31, against $1.05 in Winnipeg. Similar conditions followed the harvesting of the 1922 crop. On October 2, 1922, No. 1 northern wheat in Duluth was worth $1.10; in Winnipeg 97 cents. On December 2, the Duluth price was $1.28 and the Winnipeg price $1.08—a spread of 20 cents in favor of the American market. It should be noted that Winnipeg wheat prices are Statesmanship, for she has never been able to measure human notives by a psychology other than her own. It was-the reason she lost the war, and for that matter the reason she went into it. Her present plight is due to her ability to absorb only one idea at a time, that idea being to sidestep her responsibility for the war and to dodge the penalty. The effect upon her own peo- ple was apparently never considered as a par- allel thought. It would seem that even the Ger- man mind could carry the idea out to its logical conclusion—the consequences of diluting the cur- |rency to the nth degree. There is no possibility of the redemption of the paper mark. The only jconclusion that can be drawn is that it was a deliberate scheme on the part of a few indus- trial magnates to secure control of all German industry and to exploit German labor. If so, they succeeded far beyond their expectations. Now the day of reckoning is at hand, not with France or Belgium, but with the German peo- ple. Hence the dictatorship. Hence the strong hand of discipline, to which the German people are accustomed. By assuming that Germany can control condi- tions at home, the most she has done so far is to make it possible to resume negotiations with | France. If it is possible for her to put herself jin an attitude of mind where she finally realizes |she is beaten and will accept the consequences, those consequences are not likely to be as severe as they would be if she continues to offer further resistence. She has a long way to go to retrace her steps to the point where resistence began, and she has 5| got to pay every step of the way back, just as she has had to pay for every step in the direction |she has traveled. If she could have applied all she has wasted in this senseless resistence to- ward the liquidation of her obligations, she would have been far on the road to economic re- covery. Democracy And the League The league of nations “killed itself when it permitted France to go into the Ruhr,” says Sen- ator William E. Borah. “It is as dead as Julius Caesar now. I don’t think you will see anything about the league in the Democratic platform next year. That is the real test of what they think of it.” Senator Swanson of Virginia, a leader in the fight for ratification says the league “is doing a wonderful work” but he doesn’t look for the United States to go into it” for a long time” “They are coming to realize over there that we are not going in,” he admits. It is said Mr. Swanson’s expressions are typi- cal of what we may expect Democrats to say in the 1924 campaign. They will praise the league but will not run on a league platform. They will argue that years must pass before the American people will get over their prejudices against the league. The Democrats, however, will sharply condemn the Republican administration’s “do nothing” foreign policy. Many, like Mr. Borah, are against the league because it did nothing to prevent the Ruhr in- yasion. Others who believe France right are as opposed to the league as is Mr. Borah. The league cannot be debated intelligently without debating the French struggle with Germany. The league cannot be ignored, or dismissed with a few words of praise, if the Republicans are to | be accused of “doing nothing.” If the Democrats leave the league out of their platform, they must mit Republican opposition to the league was ustified or else brand themselves as quitters. Labor Conditions Good The federal employment service reports in- creased employment in September in five of the fourteen basic industries reported upon as fol- lows: 2.9 in tobacco manufacturing; 1.7 in metal and metal products, other than iron and steel; 14 in miscellaneous industries; 1.3 in textiles and their products, and 0.04 in stone, clay and glass products; while decreases in employment of 2. in beverages; 1.5 in lumber and its manu- facture; 14 in paper and printing; 1.37 in iron |and steel and their products; 1.1 in chemicals and allied products; 0.76 in leather and its fin- ished products; 0.72 in vehicles for land trans- portation; 0.44 in food and kindred products, and 0.01 in railroad repair shops, were revealed.

While enroute, Mr. Aller, has addressed various Legion posts and at Jefferson City, Mo., spoke over the radio from the broadcasting sta- tion “H.

This action was the result of a conference with a number of the beet growing farmers, Mr. Johnson, manager of the local factory, and a number of the business men. By reason of the continued rains this fall, Mr. Johnson reports that only about 14 per cent of the crop is harvested at this time as com- pared with approximately 40 per cent in other years. It is generally ber is the close of the digging sea- son in ordinary years, and that be ing the case, there are less than fifteen days yet remaining to get the beets out of the ground. panels cant Lables Pumpkin Center SHAWNEE.—Shawnee ts fast be- coming the shipping point for pump. kins and squash.
