FARMERS CANNOT
GET GOVERNMENT
AID, SAYS CRITIC
By David Lawrence
(Copyright. 1130. by Tba Janrnal)
Washington, Deo. 3. The heart of
. the government la warm, but the
hand on the government purse is
-cold. - . . .' , '
Unless some plan is evolved that
helps out every clans consumers as
well as producers, manufacturers as
well as farmers, wholesalers and re
tellers, Importers and exporters
there will be no extension of aid to
the agriculturalists or any other sin
gle group, and thus far nobody in
the government has heard of any
plan so all-embracing. Should any
one think of a solution it will be
given careful consideration by the
cabinet. ; . .
OtTLOOat IS DOCBTFCI,
It may be painful news and unwel
come tidings, but the clamor of the sen
ators and representatives from farm
states for relief to the farmers will get
nowhere in the executive branch of the
government.' To the suggestions that
the war finance board be revived or the
. proposals that exporting corporations
be loaned money to finance exports,
most government officials make this an-
- swer:.",
First the present laws permit the"
- extension of credits for exports only
when it is impossible for them to be
financed in any other way end the
government asks how it' happens that
the exports of the United States, ac-
- cording to official figures, are running
higher than they ever have before in
American history, higher even than dur
ing the war, namely, in the neighbor-
' hood of eight billions of dollars for
192a and are Increasing. Its last year
exports were seven and nine-tenths bill
ions and in 1918 they were six billions,
as compared with -a pre-war figure of
two and three-tenths billions.
' HO!f IT PLENTIFUL
Certainly the government isn't lend
1ns Any money to finance, exports.
Where are the exporters getting the
money? - :
Second How is it. after, all the hue'
and cry about a tight money market
and contraction of credit and restric
tions iy the federal reserve board, the
banks of the United States have actually
expanded their Credit facilities in recent
months? x
It is true that loans for speculative
- purposes have beeft successfully frowned
upon, but the figures to which officials
point show that; the accommodations of
. all our hands whereby industry and
commerce is financed have been in
creased by between three and four
- billions of dollars.
Third American trade, which is be
ing financed privately at present, has
shown phenomenal increases in partic
ular commodities over pre-war condi
tions. " . 4
EXPOBTS SHOW GAIJC
For instance, where breadstuf fs wire
exported to the amount of only $1(5,-
000.000 and cotton 1616,000,600 In 1914,
and meat and dairy products $146,000,000
in the same year, making a total agri
cultural export of something over a
billion dollars out of the grand export
total of two and three-tenths billions,
th situation in 19 19 was radically dif
ferent. Breadstuf fs alone amounted . to
$920,000,000, out of which wheat Is
$357,000,000. Cotton has reached the
record total of. . one and one-tenth
billions, while meat and dairy products
have also passed the billion mark, mak
ing the total agriculture exports some
thing like four, billions out of a grand
tetal'of seven And nine-tenths billions.
The statistics for 1920 show 'that all
these Commodities are running about the
same. So officials naturally wonder why
they are asked to provide relief. . Is there
any certainty, they inquire, that Europe
can take any more of our exports?
t S. HOLDS "HASD"
Furthermore, the imports of goods
bought by a America and all Other pay
ments made to Europe show, that we
give Europe about $4,000,000,000 less than
we receive. As long as the difference be
tween imports and exports stays at the
iremendous total of $4,000,000,000. the
balance of -trade in our favor, it is rea
soned, will keep the rates of exchange
very low, European credit correspond
ingly in .bad shape. Incidentally,' with
out any suggestion of partisanship, some
officials ask frankly how a tariff wall
erected by the Republican administra-r
; tion will help the situation. They ask
how the difference between exports and
.imports can be reduced if it is proposed
to keep European goods out of Ameri
can markets. '.
. This milch is certain, no tariff bill
that Is . intended by the Republicans to
raise $4,000,000,000 of revenue will be - ap
proved by the Democratic administration
for there, seems to be a determination to
stick to the present fiscal policy and
-. leave it to the Republicans to take the
responsibility .of reducing imports and
engaging in a "tariff war with Europe.
Such views are being expressed not by
the free-traders but by the avowed pro
tectionists in, the government, men who
. have been responsible for" such protec
tive duties as have been Imposed and
. ho have fought at every turn the idea
, of free trade.
ECONOMICS STUDIED
They may be called moderate protec
. tionlsts. .. It isT admitted that protection
for ' certain commodities will probably
be decided upon by the Republicans but
the belief exists that the' day of gen

of goods .in the same -way that tariff

Countess Markicwlcz, M. P.,
prominent Sinn Fein leader, was
today found guilty by court
martial of conspiring to spread
sedition and cause murder In Ire.
land. The court announced that
sentence would be Imposed later.
Countess Marklewics has had a
stormy career. Shetook part in
the '"It J uprising at Dublin and
was sentenced to life imprison
meat, but later her sentence was
commuted. ,;
The prosecutor at the trial Just
ended declared that he had evi
dence to show the countess had
admitted killing . British officers.
The countess has been 111 and wag
pale' and weak and attended by
nurses when arraigned.
measures of yore were made baa passed
and gone.
The government Is studying the eco
nomic situation to the exclusion Of most
of the other considerations. The pleas
for relief are pitiful, but so long as the
power rests with the present administra
tion, it will not authorize loans to farm
organisations or individuals without the
authority to do the same for persons en
gaged in other forms of work some
thing; that is so admittedly . difficult as
to be regarded as impossible.
Maybe the new administration' will
think differently about it. but the out
going officials even in hurrying their
political theories are wondering Just how
any all-embracing relief 'plan could be
effective and at the same time keep the
governments already - strained finances
intact. -

RECEPTION TOR
MRS. M'SVIEY
HALTED AT N. Y.
New York, Dec. 3. (L N. a-
Plans of 25,000 Irish sympathizers
to give an outstanding reception to
Mrs. Terence MacSwiney, widow of
the late lord mayor of Cork, who
died on a hunger strike in a British
prison, were frustrated today when
officials of the White star line an
nounced the liner Celtic would be
held at Quarantine all night. The
vessel waa due to arrive at quaran
tine shortly after 5 p. m..
Welcome plans had been arranged in
elaborate fashion. A small fleet was to
have put out from Battery Park this,
morning bearing delegations to extend
greetings to Mrs. MacSwiney aboard the
Celtio down the bay. A battalion of
newspapermen, . 300 prominent men and
women. f the official welcoming com
mittee and port officials were ready to
board tugs and New York city boats, to
head the maritime procession. . t
The Veal reception was to be extended
after Mrs. MacSwiney and her sister.
Miss Mary MacSwiney. had landed at
the White Star line pier. That was the
focus point for thousands of ' Irish sym
pathizers, who gathered to voice their
protest against "British indifference" in
allowing the lord mayor of Cork to die
in Brixton Jail, after a three months,
hunger strike in protest of his arrest.
Mrs. MacSwiney came to the United
States at the request of Irish organiza
tions here, who desired her first hand
testimony in revealing the truth about
conditions In Ireland.
The woman's reception committee waa
headed by Miss Jeannette Rankin, for
mer . con areas woman from . Montana,
while Mayor John F. Hylan of New
York headed the general welcome com
mittee. There were delegations repre
senting actors, longshoremen, Hindus,
organised labor and others. World war
veterans formed a guard of honor.
Mrs. MacSwiney will be the guest of
Mrs. Henry Villard while In New York.
The former lord mayoress will go to
Washington in a few days to testify
before the American commission on Ire
land, which is seeking to ascertain facts
about the Irish-English feud.

STATE C6MMISSION IS
NOTIFIED BY AlTCHISON
Salem, Or., Dec 3. A telegram was

commission's action in the Columbia rate
ease. . i '
"Portland and Vancouver given class
and commodity ratea 10 per cent less
than Astoria and Washington ports on
traffic to or from points south of Snake
river," Aitchison's telegram reads. :
Commodity rates, according to mem
bers of the commission, unquestionably
covers grain rates. Had grain been ex
cepted from the rate adjustment, such
an exception would undoubtedly have
been set forth in Aitchison's telegram,
it is held.
The order of the I. C C. In this case
is declared by Fred G. Buchtel, chair
man of the Oregon commission, to have
set a precedent in the matter of recog
nizing the cost of performing a service
in fixing charges for that service.
"The decision, it appears, follows very
closely the Thurtell report and recog
nises, as I view it, to a greater extent
than heretofore, the principles that-the
eost of a service, as presented by the
Oregon commission through its engineer.
J. P. Newell, is an important if not a
controlling factor in fixing rates,"
Buchtel stated this morning in comment
ing on the I. C. C. order.
"The decision apparently not only
fixes the relationship on interstate rates
between the territories, but governs, in
sofar as Intrastate rates are concerned,
that section of Oregon north and west
of Pendleton." "

FARMERS IN DIRE
NEED.ALARMIST3'
GOVERNORS' VIEW
By Robert J. Bender
United Sews Staff Comapondcnt
Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 3. There
have been two distinct divisions of
opinion among governors attending
the conference , here regarding the
predicament In which American
farmers find themselves today.
One group, the alarmist element,
warns of possible strikes and Bolshevism
among farmers, leading to the possibility
of this country becoming an importer of
its life necessities. The other, the con
servative group, believes the farmer
problem a vital but more or less normal
reaction of war, and, therefore, adjust
able, as are other Questions developing
in the Wake of the world ' war.
KOT PARTY MATTEIt
Both elements represented here be
lieve that measures of relief should be
esttahed to develop the farmers, but
the alatnists would go much farther
than the oonservatives. The latter be
lieve that all that is necessary is to re
awaken national interest in the farmers'
problems that the farmer may under
stand that people generally are anxious
to help, and, therefore, he should not be
come discouraged.
-This divergence of opinion Is not along
pan Mnes. , For example, the so-called
alraicr rght be said to follow the
Republican O.overnor Harding of Iowa
and the Democratic Governor Bickett of
North Carolina, whereas the conserva
tvie group is headed by the Republican
Governor Goodrich of Indiana and the
Democratic Governor Parker of Louisi
ana. CAR BRIXGS 11.75 '
In the opinion of the former- element,
discouragement bas already set in among
farmers, and dangerous thoughts are
beginning to circulate in the agricul
tural mind. Governor Bickett illustrates
this as follows:
"A farmer down in my state sent a
carload of watermelons to Chicago. The
market there was unresponsive and the
consignee had to dispose of the melons
as best he could. After paying demur
rage charges, commission charges and so
forth on the car the consignee sent a
check to the farmer for $3.75, the total
return on the car. The farmer sent the
check back with the following note :
'I am returning this check with the
request that it be used to start a me
morial for the cow that kicked over the
lamp that once resulted In burning up
your damned old town.
GET FARMER DISTRUSTFUL
Governor Bickett's comment on this
was: "It Is dangerous to, get the farmer
in a frame of mind wnere he thinks no
one' cares for his efforts and his mind
turns to thoughts of 'destroying cities."
This group sees further danger in dis
couraging the farmer because of the
fact that the minority now live on farms
and feed the great majority, of the na
tion's population. . ,
. Without a square and fair balance, as
between the cost of living and producing,
and return from production, the farmer
may as well cease his efforts to feed
the nation, which would then become an
importer of. necessities, this group
argues, "When and If that time comes
and America is dependent for its food,"
said one of the governors, "look out for
Japan, or. possibly, even-England."
Governor Parker, on the other hand,
sees the problem as vital, rather than
alarming. He sees the heed of public
interest and. 'calm efforts on behalf of
the farmer, rather than sudden and
dramatic measures, which might, iii the
long run disturb all phases of our eco
nomic life. As: he views the subject it
is simply one involving finance, trans
portation and markets, a satisfactory
solution of which should and can be
worked out
He regards U as too Dig a problem
for a group of governors to form a con
crete solution for recommendation to
congress. This group believes that cer
tain principles should be set forth upon
which congress) may base a solution.
"The greatest thing," he says, "is to
reawaken interest of the people in the
farmer as the country's most vital in
stitution. It is difficult because people
after"" a long course of thrills find the
subject of agriculture dry. It must be
done, however, for the farmer must not
be permitted to conclude that the na
tion ill losing interest in him. Rather, he
must be encouraged in every way
possible.
