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.

Tomorrow Virginia Gets Her
Chance
By Warren W. 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.
