DO YOU realize that the Russian problem at this moment is the fundamental European problem, and therefore the fundamental World problem of today? Peace in Europe is impossible without peace in Russia. The League of Nations is impossible without Russia becoming an orderly democracy and a participant in the League. The peace and happiness of the entire world depend upon the estab lishment of a stable, democratic government in Russia.

S. GOVERNMENT. Demand for Product Sfay Force Price- Above Quotations Fixed by Nation During War. NEW TORE. April J7. Officera of the food administration grain corpora tion announced last night their convic tion, at the close of a three-day confer ence to determine policies for the com ing year, that the government price guarantee to wheat growers could be made effective without endangering the market or causing lots to the national treasury. Julius H. Barnes, president of the corporation and federal wheat direc tor, declared that crop indications were that wheat would be traded in on the government fair price basis. It will be possible, he added, that the market gen erally might be above the fixed price schedule, in which event the wheat di rector would not be an influence In trading, as congress adopted no mail mum trade policy. In case a crop exceeding a demand required government purchases and re sales in order to make good the differ ence between the market price and the farmers' guarantee. Mr. Barnes said the conference recognised the necessity of measures to insure reflection of the resale rate to consumers of bread. f However, with the spring wheat sea son two weeks late, indicating a de creased acreage offsetting the forecast record-breaking winter crop, the direc tor asserted there was a lessened chance that the country would produce the "very large exportable surplus of wheat popularly expected."

That is the reason why we turn to the Allies for aid, so much more because we recognize that Bolshevism, as a destructive power, may spread like an unchecked conflagration into other countries.

ARMED IXTEK VEX TI OX BT THE UXTTED STATES OPPOSED. Richard Cole Would Have Ameri cans Assume Mandatory Over Strife-Infested Country. WASHINGTON, April 27. Richard H. Cole of California, who, as an intimate friend of Francisco Madero, the mur dered Mexican president, and later the personal representative and adviser of President Carranza in the United States, until, as he says, Carranza be gan to lean toward Germany, said here yesterday armed intervention in Mex ico would be a mistake, bufthat the United States should assume a man datory over Mexico because no faction or group of factions there was capable of establishing a stable government. Ho declared his belief that the Car ranza government could not last six months longer. "Any strongr power could conquer Mexico in 60 days," said Mr. Cole. "But military intervention would be a shame and a crime. What the Mexicans want is (food, not force. About 16,000,000 of the 17,000,000 people of, Mexico will welcome Americans who come with food and the help they are entitled to. "1 know the United States is sensi tive about hurting the feelings of the Mexicans and hates to intervene, even In a friendly way. Some German owned Mexicans might protest. . But Great Britain, Prance. Holland and the United States have huge interests in Mexico and the foreign nations are not going to allow Carranza to confiscate their large investments and sell them to Germans in that country. "Mexico is bankrupt, hopelessly so. Carranza cannot borrow any money. Six per cent of Mexico is actually in rebellion and the peons are starving. Mexico is far worse off than Poland, Belgium, Russia or Armenia. But right now any adequate financial assistance given Carranza would cause his down fall, for if any appreciable amount of money were placed in the Mexican treasury nothing could stop a move ment against him led by the men who are now in positions of trust in his very shadow. "Mexico is rich with treasure and is right at our doors crying for food and fair treatment. While the United States is thinking about Russia, Japan, with an eye for the commerce of the Pacific, is trying to get a foothold in Mexico. Japan knows where the wealth is. Let Japan or Germany get a foothold in Mexico and you will see such wealth developed as was never known before.' Receiver of Fruit Fined. EUGENE Or., April 27. (Special.) Frank M.
