It has r 3 i i c x in Ithe disorganized nations of the world. It has a merchant ma rine. It's dollar today is the standard of value for the world, j These are a few facta pointed out by the optimists. In spite of the validity of these facts, the psychology of business in the United States is bad. Men are talking "bear." Prices have come down, wages are coming down. Money is tight. Business is poor. ' Action, fight if you please, is an antidote for the second set of conditions. The man who has something to sell can sell, if he will get out and push his article. Business can be restored by action and by advertising. A little of the old-time energy that made fortunees before the war will put things right once again. The time of the mountain coming to Mahomet may have been with us for a period but today the mountain is within walk ing distance if Mahomet will tase his feet off the stove and hot-foot it out after business. It is there, go and get it. ; ; CITY DWELLERS . - THE United States is becoming a nation of city dwellers. The lure of urban life, despite "back to the farm" prop s , aganda in me past decade, has fastened itself more te !' naciously on the American population. More than half of the 1920 population listed by the census bureau, was irr cities of 2500 or more persons. , ' ' t Even Oregon, one of the largest states in area, is almost 50 per cent urban in population. Out of 783,389 persons counted in Oregon, only 1351 more dwell in the country than in the towns and cities. j In the past 10 yean- the balance has swung from the farm side to the city side. In 1910 only 45.8 percent of thrfse living in the United States were in the towns and cities. The increase ilv 10 years is 5.6 per cent ' In the flood of folk from the wholesome and productive life of the farm to the battle of business of, the city may lie the cause of many of our most vexing economic and social problems today. It is true that those remaining on the farm must produce in the proportion that their ranks have been depleted and the ranks of the city dwellers swelled. More production, better health, greater contentment and improved general welfare would be the result if thousands who have gone to the big cities from the ! farms in quest of wealth, luxury and "life, were back following ine piow. , LONDON, Jan. ' 1S.1-(A.V' 1.)-Ap-prehonslona of n world-wide meiit control by American parking fimin were disclosed In a recent roport to the Moard of Trndo by a sub-committee of the Standing Committee O'l Trusts. "At present, .'the American meat companies have nearly 60 per cent of vio beef output from Argpntimv and Uruguay and about 75 per eeml of the capacity of me meat plants built or building In Hruall," the re port stated. "Moreover, they con trol nearly one-half of the whole, trade pt Smlthfleld (the great Lon don meat market) and they have al so a solid footing in Canadu and Aus tralia. - "Pears as to the extension of their activities nro put confined to. tho I'Ulted ' Kingdom, .but are equally strong in the dominions," it continues. "The moro they may be able to ex tend their operations in South Amer ica, the more they may be able to jit -vert supplies from reaching tho Uni ted Kingdom; and the more they are able to control distribution business here, the more securely they will have! the, British consumer la their grip." Suggestions were made by the com mittee to restrain, by taxation and by subsidizing refrigerated shipping com panies, the expansion of foreign in terests here, and an inlernntloual In vestigation was recommedned to go into tha whole situation with a view to taking common action. A rejoiner to the committee's find ings is made by It. II. Cabell, the London manager of Armour and Company, who In an interview with a Press Association representative, com plains that none of the American firms were heard by the committee and charges that the lntter's report was compiled "under strong prejudice." 'Several passages in the report show a clear but very ill-formed an- jmus against the American firms," Cabell states. "Particularly in its re ference to Argentina. No one would guess from the report that the Chi cago packers entered the Argentina trade at the request, almost at the entreaties, of the British firms which had opened up the territory and had paid heavily for their experience and were anxious to be bought out." Mr. Cabell suggests that part of the supposed animus disclosed In the report is due to the reluctance of cer tain British firms to compete with the "less wasteful and more efficient methods of their American rivals," and he says the only effect .of the re port must be to raise meat prices all oyer the United Kingdom.

It is an interesting commentary on the trend of the times to witness with what success the readjustment in la bor's compensation is accompanying the drop in prices. ' In the case of the woot men and the cereal farmers, too, wage reductions are being postponed as long as possible. The former witnessed a sharp price drop in his market,in May and the latter about m September. Wages only now are being ad-j justed to conform to the inevitable. The process is expected to be peaceable and be met in good spirit by labor. Readjustment of wages in the manufacturing centers of the east is attended by far less strife than when war pushed wages upward. In more than one instance employes' organizations have volunteered wage reductions as great as 25 per cent. Arbi tration where wage cuts could not at once be agreed upon has been effected satisfactorily and quickly in a good many other instances. Capital, labor, the jobber, middleman, producer, and all x along the line realize that the readjustment includes all, not a part. It is a fact to be pointed out with pride that all are getting together on the idea and that labor, which was perhaps slowest to be rewarded when prices were mounting, is not the first to be cut now that things are being revised downward. ......... Walla Wallans are subscribing to stock for a bridge across the Columbia between Pasco and Kennew-ick, 60 miles distant. Pendleton can do" as well by solidly backing the reclamation of lands under the John Day project which is no farther distant i.nd means as much or more to this community as the bridge to Walla Walla. - : Ireland believes that prohibition there would seriously in jure Great Britain. The measure of it the United States has ob tained has not put this nation on the red side of the ledger. (From the East Oregonian, January 15, 1S93) A. Hardity is, here from Tllot Kock R.

A new investigation is to be under taken to place the-blame for the disaster to the Italian army at Caporetto when it was dirven back from the Isonzo to the Piave in the great war. A parlia mentary commission already has prrf- hH Into the affair and reportea inai nonrrnl favaciocchi, then commander of the Fourth Arnty Corps was among those chiefly responsible. Tne gen eral has petitioned Parliament to re open the case, says Deputy trano, writing in the Gtornaie v nana. General Cavacioccni in nis position asserts that the Austrains uiu through the 27th Army Corps com manded by General Badoglio, now vaA r the. General Staff, and suc ceeded in advancing along both banks of the Isonzo and reaching the rear of the Fourth Army Corps, com manded by Cavaciocchi, which - was unable to resist because of Badoglio's failure. Other cenerals, especially Bonglo vanni. hare backed Cavaciocchi's pe tition. Signer Crano is of the opinion that Badoslio sTiuuld not remain nt ine head of tho. General Stuff while the enquiry is proceeding- as it would b impoBslWe to iiwure impartiality and obtain witnesses to give evidence against thelrf own chief. 'i - ' : .
