PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, l922 Journal StariighT Salem. Oreffon An Independent Newspaper, Published erery erenlng eicept Sunday Telephone 81; new 82 GEORGE I'UTNAM, Editor and Publisher The Treaties The treaties resulting from the Disarmament Confer cnee now before the senate for ratification, mark the per manent passing of the idea of American isolation as national policy, despite its championship by the republican .party and Mr. Harding before the election. The treaties, however, do not solve any vital international problems and are by no means epoch-making. The conference has made for a better understanding between the United States and Japan and eliminated the senseless naval rivalry between Britain and America. In this regard it has been a success. In settling oriental political issues, it has resulted in failure. An exhausted world has agreed to curtail naval armaments for 15 years, but Chinese and Sibenan issues remain unsolved. The treaties provide a ten year naval hbliday in the con struction of capital ships by the United States, Great Bri tain and Japan, a reduction of naval strength of certain fleets and a practical cessation of all naval programs. France, however does nor accept any ratio of fleeti maintenance though agreeing to cessation of construction. Naval warfare is in a transitory stage, with battle- snips Decerning obsolete and aircraft and submarines taking their place. Just what the future navy will consist of is not known. Meanwhile it is a matter of prudence to cease wasting money on discarded except the United States are broke' and cannot afford to build capital ships, hence the desire for a truce in needless expenditures. In 15 years when the treaties expire, con ditions may be different. China under the new treaties, is permitted to impose a tariff of 5 percent duty as against 8 1-2 percent at present. In some other minor matters, China is given freedom over her own affairs. China is promised the restoration of Shan tung, but Japan continues to hold strings on the railroad. Japan remains in Manchuria, and the British in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Japan refuses to get out of Siberia so we have all the causes of a first class war whenever China awakens or Russia recovers. The conference has undertaken to provide rules for iuture wanare, in other words to make war a clean sport. Poison gas and submarine are to be barred provisions quite M iULI1B "u ausura as similar rules adopted by the Hague conference proved to be when the beginning of hostilities ...u Burups oi paper.

Theodore Stratton Phones Kitty read the letter carefully and with a little chuckle exclaim ed: "It's a humdinger, Vlrgje! Your society- bringing up stands you In good turn. I could never have written that In a thousand years. You have said everything and yet you have said nothing. Stratton will appreciate it." 'How can I go out to dinner with such a looking face?" I ask ed irrelevantly although much comrortea by Kitty's staunch loyalty. 'It is swollen. Vireie. but vnii fill the bowl with cold water and stick your face down in it mu or twice. No one will notice, par ticularly if you use a little pow der and redden your lips. They nave grown very pale since you nave been sick." I followed Kitty's advice and soon, refreshed, we started out. "Wait a minute, Kitty, I must man mis letter." "How did you address it?" "Why, to the studio of course. "Ten to one Stratton won't get it. rou Know he has a lot nf nw retaries for 'fan letters' and it will probably be Dut in thn wt no ket with the rest of the truck."

"Does Theodore Stratton own a home here " "Of course! The moment a nr- son gets to be a star thev nrivor tise It by buylnir an PYnonalvo home, filling it full of expensive Italian or Spanish furniture. At ter that they purchase a car with special built 'body, to ride In to ana rrom the studio." "Don't that sound nice." "Yes, but I am afraid that you ana t are a long ways from Vlrgie.

Wheaton Washington, Feb. 15 Make Uncle Sam's dollar worth one hundred good old-time American cents, create a market for farm products and the law of supply and demand, long askew, will again become workable and nirrl culture will find a firm founda tion. That program forms the best solution of the agrarian, ilia o the country if the consensus of farmers' views counts for anything. Farmers throughout the TTnit- ed States are talkine of burstinir surpluses and products. The ex cess In food stuffs held, however, is due to the fact that there is no market demand, officials at the United States Denartment of Agriculture asserted today. There is no real over Deduc tion. The trouble is that there it under consumption, thev sav Claim is made by them that there is not enough food In the world toaay to provide for normal con sumption. In the fifty years following the Cival War, according to best sta tistics available, the United States farmer increased cotton produc tion five times, wheat production four times and corn three times. ThiB increase happened while the population of the eountrv onlv In creased two and three-fourths times. "No wonder." sava Dr. ! n Ball, director of scientific wnrk of the Agricultural dempartment, "that when the Secretary ot Agri culture states that tha ITnitert States produced twenty-five per cent of the wheat, sixty ner cent of the cotton and seventy per cent ot the corn of the world, with only one-sixth of its nonn- lation, the nation should feel it was on a firm foundation and its future prosperity assured. . The neak of airrleiiltnra nm. duction per capita of population was passed In 1898. Agriculture production almost kept pace with population increase for some time after that date, but in the last decade it has steadily and ever more rapidly fallen. t rooaoiy tins can be more concretely shown by the definite statement that the cotton produc tion has fallen a decade from 14,000,000 bales to less than 1 000,000 bales. Corn production leacned Its peak a decade ago and Has remained nractlonllT otn tionary ever since. Th 1950 average was 104,000,000 bushels, tne same as it was In 1910. Wheat production no doubt would be even worse if it had not been for the fact remarkable advance in the selling price of this cash crop. "The combination. however. only forced it up temporarily, and It has dropped back almost to pre-war average." Dr. Ball declares that the lare er area of fertile land in the country has been taken up and mat the increase in farm area in the future will be very slow. Pro duction costs will be higher, he predicts. Statisticians in the denartment of Agriculture hae estimated that the population of the United States will be more than 220.000 000 at the close of the present century. They have placed the probable time In which the Unit ed States will begin to import staple foods at from fifteen to thirty years. America today, they declare, is a food importing na tion, measured in dollars. Mrs. Wurtzbarger May Yet Escape Colorado Prison I Portland, Or., Feb. 15.
