Radicalism rare- | ly thrives on contentment. President Coolidge has been told that the improvement in the agricul- tural situation will not altogether eradicate radicalism this year in the west but it will reduce by large blocks the radical vote of other years so that the big question is whether the normal gap between the. Re- publican. and Democratic. parties in the solidly Republican states is big enough to permit of defections to La Follette and still léave a Coolidge plurality. Te Republican theory is that if things go well with the farm- er, he will not want change because he dislikes uncertainty. Nature ts therefore the biggest ally Mr. Cool- idge's political campaign has won. For it is admitted that a continu- ance of distressing conditions would have meant serious losses in the electoral college. Instead, today there is supreme confidence in the White House that the west will stay regular. grind, The war finance éorporation is an agency which’ lends funds. It ady has lent millions, It is the emergency institution which is con- cerned with the credit situation gen- erally in the agricultural regions. If crop conditions are good, the money lent will be coming back. It is to the interest of the War Finance cor- poration not to be deceived. So its information may be taken as authen- tic, 0 far-as official data gathered from agents is concerned. It is supposed 16 be a non-politi- cal, non-partisan institution. And it exudes optimisim today for the first time in many months. Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di rector of the War Finance corpora tion is conservative and cautious in his statements. His latest declara. tion is that there will be an Increase of over 30,000,000 bushels in the wheat crop of North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana;~as compared with 1923, This increased yield was the best piece of good fortune the agriculturists in the country have had in a generation. It is the suc- cession of bad years which freezes up the credit situation, g The War Finance ‘corporation looks forward to a general reduction in indebtedness all along the line. Bankers are writing ehthtsiastically that the turn has come and that sec- tions of the country which were hardest hit have been~—partiewlarly favored with good crops. Corn crops are not so good..as. weather..condi- tions have not been altogether, fa- vorable, but tie high prices have helped thefcorn growers materially. The cattle raisers are notas well off as the others, but the War Finance corporation says pointedly: “An indjrect effect of great im- portance to the breeding end’ pf the lvestock business—which méy. ‘be hoped for a little later if not im- mediately—ts"the resumption of cat- tle buying by the northwest. It is reasonable, in any event, to expect better prices and a broader market for breeding animals, inview of the general trend of other agricultural Prices in the upward direction. The outlook for hides has been improv- ing for the past two months." The word agriculture is a broad term. No doubt there are sections and individuals still wrapped in pes- simisim but the general trend is quite the opposite. Politics this year, as always, is so much {nterwoven with the pros. perity and materialistic side of the electorate that favorable agriculture conditions can not but be viewed as ‘a vital factor in the coming presi. less acreage than before. This is perhaps the most signifi- cant fact about.the agricultural sit- uation. For while agriculture prices are high, relatively speaking, the farmer has produced more to the acre, so his gain is correspondingly higher. It means that even with a drop in prices the farmer would still be better off than beforg, His re turn per acre will be rover than last year in any event, What-has happened, in a sense, is that favorable weather in America coincided with unfavorable weather in other wheat producing countries Will these conditions continue next So DE MOLAYS TO MEET TONIGHT The Darius chapter of De Molay will meet tonight at 8 o’clock in the Masonic temple.
