WAR INSURANCE AND WHEAT iOCAL farmers will be in terested in the facts with reference to ocean war insurance brought to light by the submarine controversy. News stories from New York . tell of a slight advance in rates because of Germany's inten tion to sink armed merchant men. Hi re in a paragraph from the announcement: "The war risk quotation or vessels destined for English and French ports also stiffened and WkgtA from 1 to W't per cent The highest rate quoted in re cent weeks on this busine was ptr eent. The r ported presence of German I raiders off the cost of Brazil 'caused the war rates on bel ligereat merchant ships in the Smith American trade to stand firmly at 3 per cent." ! In other words even with the increased danger t lie war risk I insurance amounts to but one and a half per cent to English -land French ports. If wheat i'were worth $1 per bushel the war insurance would be out cent and a half per bushel. Therefore it may be seen the war insurance is almost insig nificant in connection with the price of wheat. The astonishing differenc between Liverpool and Oregon prices is not due to war dan ger but to extortionate ship ping charges.

Mas Kilhu Root ever read 1 He Hague convention of 1907 "respect ln the rights and duties of neutral 1 powers and persona in case of war j on land?" We are impelled to raise this Ques tion liy the extraordinary statement made by Mr. Root In his war speech before the republican state eonven vention; "The invasion of Belgium was a breach of contract with us for the' maintenance of a law of nations which wnen tnis convention was irameu ana he was the most eminent member ol ,ne senate committee on foreign rela- tlom when the German troops Invad- '1 Belgium. We have already dis- cussed his strange silence, extending DVar a period of one year and si:, miinths and thirteen days, during which he never referred to the Inva- !-'" Belgium. We are now oora- pelleil to iiemcw that he never reao the convention that he describes as a contract. The Hague declaration that "'he territory of neutral powers is Inviol able" was never a contract. It oon- nient When the United States rati fied that convention it merely gave its word not to invade the territory of neutrals, but it assumed no re sponsibility in the way of preventing less . onscientious nations from invad ing the territory of neutrals. And of all the governments that ratified the convention, not one has ever protect- against the invasion of Belgium or interpreted such Invasion npver tMtM tn invention. nor did Great Britain, of the coun tries that have since come Into the war. neither Italy nor Turkey nor Bulgaria ever ratified it The con vention that Mr. Hoot describes as a contract is neither a contract nor a convention.
