Certainly there can be little reason for rying to curb the Turks and their ruth- lessess in that region. The Greekg of course assume the responsibility connect- ed with their campaign by declining me- diation, yet they appear to be Willing to take the chance and have confidence in the judgment of their leaders that they can win, GETTING GOVERNMENT IN DEEPEE There has been presented to comgress a bill calling for the formation of a government corporation of which the capital shall be $100,000,000 for the pur- Pose of increasing the export business in our agricultural products. The senate agricultural committee is at the present time holding a hearing on the bill and not a little light must have been shed upon the proposition wWhen Secretary Hoover appeared hefore the committee and opposed the bill. The secretary was ocareful to state that he was mot opposed to the idea | almed at in the bill—the stimulation of agricultural exports—but he didn't be- lieve that it was anything the govern- ment should be engaged in and that the method wag inadvisable. The situation seams to be that there are plenty who want our agricultural products but they haven't the money or the eredit with which to obtain them. Private enter- prise doesn't possess sufficient confidence | to swing the proposition, so it is pro- Dosed that the government do it. Should that be looked upon favorably by con- ETess it would mean that this govern- ment would be providing the money whereby those outside the country could buy farm products in this country, or that this government would pay the farmers for their products and take the chance of getting the money some time In the futwre which private capital is unwilling te do. It anything is going to be dons the suggestion of Mr, Hoover i3 that the | money might just as well be loaned directly to the farmers of this country Instead of providing the credit for which those in other countrles may get our farm products. In the matter of pro- viding credit this country has gone a long way. It may well stop and pon-| der as to whether it wants to get in any | deeper. Mr. Hoover has touched upon the advisability of such a plan from a | business standpoint and in what he had to say the committee should find much | ground for serions consideration before making its report, MEDICINAL BEER. True to expectations the lower house of congress has acted favorably upon {he bill which will prevent the putting nto force of the decision handed down by Attorney Gemeral Palmer on tha eve of his retirement from office to the effect | that physicians could prescribe heer for | their patients. 1t was not done without opposition hut the opponents were not numerous enough to block favorable ac- tion. The senate will probably act upon the measure this week, 5 There can hardly be any question but what the sale of beer and even the I- the business, would be pre fer) the long 1t of Mtoxicants that are obtainable by mest anyone who wants them and are willing to pay the price.

One result of the coal trade dispute is the enormous inerease in the claims of the railway companies on the government under the rallway agreement. Sir F. Hall, in the heuse of commons yesterday asked what was the estimated loss to the railways, due to curtaillnft and loss of | traffic and other causes ,arising out of the ocal dispute, and how such loss would be met. Sir Eric Geddes replied that the claims against the government by the railway companies for the menth of March amounted to mearly 3,500,000, and for April to about £9.500,000. No later figures were available. Toe loss would fall on the general taxpayer.
