Dec. 1. All the troubles of the wheat growers and livestojMt men of the northwest are declared by Senator Borah of Idaho to he due to the mistakes of the Ver sailles treaty, in a statement issued this afternoon. The Idaho senator asserted that the most of the legislation proposed for helping the farmer will prove inade quate. "The situation of the whrat farm er." Senator Borah said, "is a serious one. He is a victim of the short sighted policy which obtains with reference to trade matters in Kurope. The remedy must come throufrh open ing up our trade relations with all the nations and peoples of Kurope. Outlet t Kurope Wanted. "We should dear the channels of trade as between this country and Kussia and Germany and all other countries. There is a vast market there for our products. Those peo pJ by proper treatment and assist ance, can buy their products and feed their own people. This is the only way in which we can get permanent relief for wheat raisers and the live stock people in this country. Legis lation would be .temporary in Its ef fect, if it had any desirable effect Ht all. "If necessary, and it is by no means certain that it would be, necessary, we should extend credit to these nations to enaMe them to buy. "Give them a chance and they will feed their millions who want our products, thereby not only taking care of their own people and prevent ing hunger and starvation, but afford ing a market for our own products. "litirope is paralyzed, her people starving, first, because of the sus pended trade relations, and secondly, because of the paralysing effect of the Versailles treaty. Modification Held Care, "We should open up our trade rela tions with these people and the Ver sailles treaty should be modified to conform with the economic demands :ind conditions of Kurope. When the treaty was made everything was viewed purely froni a political stand point and wholly in disregard of eco nomic conditions. The result of it is that Kurope is dying for the stuff which we are ea3rer to furnish. The market which we should have and which we must have is there, if by ordinary business sense and economic .canity we avail ourselves of it. "We are being constantly asked to contribute millions in the way of charity to feed the hungry in Kurope. but charity is, at best, a temporary and ineffective plan. It is almost like pouring money into the ocean to undertake to feed Kurope under the present policies and under the terms and conditions of the Versailles treaty. So long as " intolerance, vin dictiveness and vengeance base the economic polic'es of Kurope and in directly of this country the people of this country are going to suffer. I.avrs Held Kullle. "It is two years now since the war closed. It is time to seek normalcy, to permit the laws of trade to obtain and the nations of the earth to deal with one another. '"This ought to be the demand of the people of this country, and as we approach more nearly to financial and economic disaster it will be the demand. Legislation, embargoes and so forth will not help us. It is wrong policy shaped upon a wrong principle." LIQUOR DEALERS HELD Offering Bribe Money to Federal Agents Is Charge. NEW YORK, Dec. 1.

Political activity and post-war economic dis turbances have caused a renewal of sentiment in the Philippine islands for independence, according to Governor-General Harrison's annual re port made public tonight. The gov ernor's recommendation that inde pendence be granted is renewed. "The public statements of allied and associated leaders during the war about rights and liberties of small nationalities and the enunciation of the doctrine of self-dt'termination have been widely disseminated in the Philippines," the report said, "and confidence in the prompt formation of the league, of nations seemed to offer future security for Philippine inde pendence." Total foreign trade of .the Philip pines for the year was slightly less than for 1918. the report said, the bal ance of trade shifting quite heavily against the islands before the end of the year. Although bugar exports were, less than 50 per cent of the pre vious year, the crop brought nearly twice as much as in 1918.

Preliminary census figures for the islands showed a population of about 10.350,000 per sons, of whom only 855. 000 were non Christian'. Among the recommendations of the governor-general are: Revision of the land and immigra tion laws: development of port and harbor facilities and a campaign to interest American business men and capitalists in the confmercial possi bilities of the islands.
