Forest fires result, thousands of dollars, making the eye, endaiigdnng watersheds and often killing deer, game birds, etc. , Forest fires cannot be entirely avoided, at least not as Jong as man is impotent against lighting, but they could be 'greatly minimized by exarciaing.a reasonable amount of care. ST, LAWRENCE WATERWAY OBSTACLES , It is becoming evident that the St. Lawrence waterway .treaty faces a fight in the senate. Whether the fight can be serious enough to defeat ratification is not yet clear;' but before it Comes to a head, it would be wise for all of us to take a good look at things and see just what all the shooting ; is about. ' ' So far, the chief opposition seems to come front those who ,'fear that the treaty will prevent construction of the lakes-to- . the-gulf waterways. , ' This js a plan whereby Chicago would get direct water connections with New Orleans. It is an excellent plan ; it would provide the middle west with still another outletito. tfsalt water, it would stimulate the entire Mississippi basin and it would be of vast help to industries in the Chicago area'. I But it would be a disastrous mistake to assume that we biust take a choice between the two waterways. It is not a case 6f having one or the other. The Matter of Water diver sion from Lake Michigan additional water must be sent f "uphill" via the Chicago river if the gulf waterway is to fie' (Constructed need not be a stumbling block. If both sides are willing to make concessions, this point can be settled without much difficulty. i' j I f Then there is the water power issue; and this, too, is not ' ja thing that need balk the treaty. What to do with the power i generated as a by-product of the St. Lawrence waterway is h tremendously important question; but action on it should 'not hold up the treaty itself. We can fight that matter q'ut wHile the waterway is under construction. ' There is, too, the "all-American" plan for a waterway iwhich would put a deep-water channel across New York state 'to connect the Great Lakes with the Hudson instead of the 'St. Lawrence. No one outside of New York has ever taken Ithis plan seriously, and even the original sponsors of it have (not been heard from very much lately; nor could it win more than a handful of votes in the senate if it were seriously .put forward. There, then, are the principal obstacles in the way of the ' treaty. None is insuperable. None1 should delay construc tion of the vast improvement which the entire middle west desires. . Other Papers Say: i Ridiculous rumors '"always are pre valent during nunpulKn yenrn. and Ehfs one is no exception. The lattwl, lublbhed In an cuMern mayn;in ns 'iact, declared that President Htovpr fortune hud shrunk from Its loao to laf of 4 million dollars to Iphs than 700 thousund. Speculation In storktt was blamed for these alleKod reverse. As a matter of fact the prosWhmt nt no time in his life haw owned this much money. He la rated as com fortably wealthy, but by no mean. a miUtl-mllllonalre. The president's business representatives yesterday Raw fit to make a public denial or the rumors, declaring that Mr. HooVer disposed of vlrtunlly all his securi ties In 1020, on becoming secretary of commerce, reasoning that a pxib 11c official should not be In a posi tion where outside mteresw might rated) it Newipi iln 600 , BuiIoom Moger Mall' 3.60 -8.00 .

The country may rest asstuvd. however, that his derisions as the nation's chief execu tive are in no way liiMncuced by the pre of personal financial needs. Humora regarding the Hoover fortune wtthmtt doubt were Inspired by poli tical enemies, who wlt-hett to create the Impression that thP president 1ms hem "playing the market" to the nr; leek or his duties.

KfTr of 1931 the Imports Into the United States of the following commodities, which come In competition with Am erican farm' products, fei: off very appreciably; sugar, hldeB, flaxseed,' Iwool and meat. For example, Imports of meat decreased. 21,000,000 pounds as compared with the same eight months of the preceding year. And speaking In term3 of dollars. the following Interesting table, taken from Dr. Klein's article,- shows Uie comparative Imports during the eight months of' 1030 under the old law and eight months of 1031 under the new law: I 8 mo. 1030 a mo. 1031 Milk, etc 2,038,000 131,000 Hides 20.003,000 S.314,000 Meats B,748.000- 3,534.000 Cheese , 12,870,000 . 9,030,000 Calf skins .... 0.870.000 , 4.910.000 Wool 3O,7D5,0OO 10,088,000 There Is nothing . so convincing as figures and even the.most ardent free trader will have trouble arguing theso figures away. He may come back with the old mossbactc wheeze that since America, failed to buy these farm pro ducts, the American farmer haB lost 'a similar market In. these importing countries. But. as most or these coun , tries. Including as the list docs, Aus I tralla, Argentine, Uruguay and New Zealand, already raise much more In the way of farm produce than they can consume, it Is difficult to see how ,they could provide a market for our farm products under any ctrcum. stances short ot ..complete famine. And' wben It comes-to manufactured j goods they will buy where they can 'get the goods the cheapest no mat ( ter where that happens to be and re gardless of how much we buy of . them. The time-worn argument that the farmer sells In a free trade world market and buys In a protected mar ket therefore ha become decidedly shop-worn. The figures above quo ted show how protection worked for the farmer under the first eight months of the Smoob-Hawley tariff. And when the free trader tells you about how the fanner buys In a pro tected market don't forget to remind him that every commodity uoed ex clusively on the farm is now on the free list and has been for several years. Cor vn His Gazette-Times. ADOLF Hy Louis I. Loch ner MUNICH (tf1) If Germany' ls to win her freedom from post-war restric tions, a coin pie to break must be made from the methods employed by German d Iplomats since the founding of the republic, says Adolf Hitler, chief of the national social ists. "When the revolution broke out In November, 1918." Hitler wrote recent ly, "there was raised the flag of illusions which has since been flying over all foreign acts of German gov ernments. I was one of the few who years ago dared expose these Illu sions ti public.' Tho signing. of the treaty of Ver sailles, tho passive resistance In the. Ituhr, the Dawes and Young plans, the policy of demonstrating good will m meeting reparation until Ger many's Inability to- pay was drmon-strated--alt this, for which Rathe uau, Stresemaim, Curtlus and Brucn ing stood, rested upon I Mils Ions, ac cording to Hitler. "It was an Illusion to surrender tho navy and the commercial fleet in the hope of seeing It returned." he wrote, "an Illusion to disarm in tho expectation that France would do likewise. "It was an illusion to expect help from a world conscience, from the, League Of Nations, or from any con ference. "Tt was an illusion to sign the lieaco treaty on the assumption that It was merely a fotmal document and did not mean the destruction of Ger man economy by Prance. "H was an Illusion, to think dur ing the Ruhr struggle that an army ot occupation could be chased a Way by a general strike. "It was an illusion to sign the Dawes pact and to believe In the phantom of a recovery of German business that was to be made possible thereby. "The hopes built upon Locarno were an illusion. Just ns the Young plan rented upon illusion only." Just what Hitler proposes to do in ease he gains power has never become quite clear, for tho niKl chief argues that by exposing his hand prematurely his political enemies might profit from his "recipes."
