LET NATURE GOVERN HILE Inland Empire people would in general be glad to see a guaranteed minimum price for wheat it is im probable that anything of the sort will be had and after all it will be for the best if the guaranty is not continued. Congress could not logically fix a price on wheat without extending the same line to other products and to other indus tries. To do that would involve all sorts of difficulties and drive industry away from the natural channel of supply and demand. After discussing this subject pro and con the Spokesman Review observes as follows: "There were special conditions that seemed to justify the fixing of wheat prices as a wartime measure. But with the war's ending they vanished. It is high ly improbable that congress will give the growers a guarantee that they would consider satisfactory. On the whole, the safer and wiser plan will be to drop the guarantee and put wheat on the same footing with corn, cotton and all other prodjucts." Farmers would not want a guarantee that would serve as a maximum price and the consumer would cry favoritism should any other sort of a guaranty be given. So the best way is to let nature take its course. The wheatman need not worry because the world is short of food, population is increasing and the amount of land adapted to wheatgrowing is limited. DIPLOMACY VS. BUNK jf APAN and Russia are now at loggerheads. If the Lodge l reservations prevail the time may come when Uncle Sam and Japan will mix. The peace treaty awarded certain Shantung concessions to Japan because Japan by force of arms during the war had wrested that region from the Germans. President Wilson, however ,did not approve of that award and wrested from the Japanese a promise that Shantung would be restored to China. Japan has since reaffirmed that promise in diplomatic corre spondence. The carrying out of that promise would restore to China the territory- taken from her by Germany in 1900 and all would be lovely all around. But Mr. Lodge and his coterie could not see it that way. They had a chance to choose between buncombe and sound di plomacy and they preferred the former. It sounded good politi cally to rail against the Shantung provision and they have railed. The Lodge reservations as adopted by the senate says the United States withholds assent to the section of the peace treaty relate ing to this point. It was great stuff for those not thinking more than skin deep. But get below the surface and you may readily see that Lodgeism if it prevails will give Japan Shantung if they want it. If the United States repudiates the section relating to Shantung we automatically relieve Japan from the promise made to our president as a condition on which he would accept the action of the peace conference on the subject. We cannot repudiate our part of the agreement and expect the Japanese to keep theirs. Supposing the Lodge program is upheld by the country and Japan should feel, as they would have a right to feel that the slate is wiped clean and should continue to hold Shantung. What then would our Lodge leadership suggest? Would we go to war with Japan to obtain something we already had before partisanship spilled the beans? Kansas City mothers and fathers of the "younger set" are forming a conspiracy in restraint of excessively late parties for their sons and daughters. They have been aroused to action by tales of unusual events and have decided to follow the ex ample of Philadelphia and set a zero hour otherwise known as a curfew for the budding youngsters. There are towns that could be named where the great problem is how the children may keep their giddy parents in the straight and narrow channel. Strikes have had considerable to do with the high cost of liv ing because every move that reduces production or curtails transportation works for a boost in prices; workers are coming to realize the fact more and more and as they do they look with t'isfavor on the agitator who creates a strike merely to raise a turmoil. Pershing does not need the presidency to insure his fame but if he should run politicians would find that many people have a deep respect for the general. ............ ... It looks like Britain. France, Italy and Belgium see signs of a reviving German militarism and they propose to take no chances. When that auto camp ground is prepared there will be need of adequate signs so that tourist's may find it. AORJBB XV PrTAI, BII,Ij i By I'nlted Frew. ) WAKHINrT.V. April It.
