Justifying his presence on eiu'lh, Gilbeft IX Chesterton, in
a debate, said ho once had given up his seat to three women.
Now, that's what you can call a broad and liberal man.
Ten years ago the Versailles treaty was signed,' effecting
what the world hoped and idealists believed would be per
manent world peace. There have been many little ware
since the signing of that treaty ending the war to end wars
and the dreams of the idealists have been blasted time with
out end, but still tho world hopes and believes. Hut some
thing twsides a treaty came out of the Paris peace conference.
There was bora a real will to make and presei-ve peace. Over
it reigned the spirit of something born of the great weariness
of hundreds of millions of human beings who hud strained
and suffered as a prelude to that conference. It signified
the heartfelt desire of the common peoples to try some other
way than war to settle the differences which sometimes arose
between them but more often arose between their leaders.

NO FOOD SHORTAGE IN SIGHT
- It is 125 years since the famous Malthusian theory was
first propounded, to give speculative . mankind a chill of
terror nt the thought of the future. This theory namely,
S that population inevitably tends to increase faster than tho
mbans of subsistence, and that ware, famines and plagues
1 are consequently unavoidable curses of humanity has
existed ever since, to blight the optimism of economists and
; sociologists.
; : Now, however, Oliver E.Haker, of the Federal Uureau of
Agricultural Economics, declares that the United States is
; not even close to feeling the pinch of the dread Malthusian
t theory. At present, he declares, there is a large surplus of
..American farm products. This sunlus has occurred annually
for eight years; there is no indication' that it will disappear
in the immediate future, and it is the prime reason for the
widespread current demand for "farm relief."
i' Not only are we producing . more than we can cat, Mr.
linker asserts that the 'American farmer could easily double
or treble his production if it became necessary.
This, of course', has a good side and a bad side. It cer
tainly removes us, as a nation, from any fear of a food
shortage anywhere in the near future. Yet it undeniably
means hard times for tho farmer, who is producing more
and getting less for it than ever before.
Mr. Baker sees only two solutions to the farmer's plight.
One is to induce the American people to eat less vegetable
food and more animal products, which require greater farm
acreage to produce. To some slight extent, he says, this has
been done; but it would have to go to much greater lengths
' to help.
The other solution he suggests is increased exiorlalion of
our surplus which, he admits, will not be possible until
Europe and Asia have more money with which to buy our
farm products. Tho farm problem, evidently, will be with
us a long time. Meanwhile, though, It is at least encour
aging to know that the nation never need lack food.
