TO PREVENT WAR
M:
EYER LONDON", the
introduced a resolution authorizing an attempt at
mediation in the European
setting forth principles upon which he believes a perma
nent peace can be established.
Instead of huge armaments to enforce treaty agree
ments and the findings of international arbitration trib
unals, Mr. London proposes an international commercial
boycott by the combined nations against the offending
nation and a referendum by the people of the countries af
fected as to whether there shall be war or peace. In behalf
oi these proposals, lie will devote his energies during the
present session.
It is an undeniable fact that commercialism is the un
derlying cause of all wars. This has been the case since
civilization began. A close analysis of causes shows that,
even the religious wars had commercial greed as a base.
The acquisition of territory is useful only to extend mar
kets. Commerce is international, particularly modern com
merce. Each nation produces what it is fitted to produce
best and sells it to the other nations in exchange for oilier
products. This has gone so far under modern conditions
that countries like Great Britain no longer attempt to pro
duce foodstuffs, but sells their manufactures to other na
tions in exchange for food. Many nations produce only
raw materials which other nations utilize in manufactures,
and international exchango is essential to tho life of the
people. Hence no possiblo weapon could be devised more
effective than a severing of commercial relations with tho
world.
Concerning this feature, Mr. Meyer says:
Tho present war proves tho strength of thlH weapon. Tho most of
fcctlvo force of tlio allies has been tho embargo thoy havo been nblo to en
force against Germany's commerce if tho allies win It will bo becauso of
this commercial boycott.
Commercialism Is so Intensely International that to conflno n coun
try's co in in or co within her own boundaries would bo tho Bovcrost punish
ment possible.
Democracy in international affairs would result in
abolition of war. 1 f the people were given a voice, instead
of kings and autocrats, there would be no wars for wars
are J ought by the people, who
huiut ine puiusiinicni.
Concerning (he preparedness program, Mr. Meyer says:
All tho present hysteria as to our need for a larger army nnd navy
nil our fear of Invasion and conquest Is tho result of abnormal, distorted
vision produced by tho h'uropoan holocaust. That war Is turning all of us
back toward animalism. Stories of men slaughtered hy thousands, of
atrocities, suffering and hardship that normally would mnko our blood run
cold, wo now accept as nothing out of tho ordinary.
And so wo stnrt about arming oursolvcs to tako part In tho samo sort
of business. Fighting nnd war and slaughter wo havo como to think of as
a normal condition.
Wo havo been progressing backward. Let us faco about nnd get our
snno Ideals back again. Properly mobilized, tho forces of pence can crush
absolutely tho forces of war.
FIFTY MILLIONS LOST
A PRACTICAL farmer and prospective investor in the
valley estimates that the lack of an irrigation system
has cost tho Rogue River valley a loss of $50,000,000 during
tho years sinco the building of tho railroad.
The loss is not oxaggoratcd indeed, probably under
estimated. "With irrigation the annual output would be
many times greater, much more varied.
Lot us figure tho loss for a single voar, even on the
acreage under cultivation, without anv intensified farm
ing, using present slipshod and unscientific methods of
cultivation. Take the year 3915, for instance. Were the
valley irrigated, the fruit shipments would Imvc totalled
between 12000 and JIOOO cars, conservativelv estimated. This
would havo meant from $2,000,000 to $:i,000,000 brought
into tho valley. Instead, the output was :100 cars, bringing
in $300,000, a loss of two million dollars on one crop in one
year.
All oilier mips were shy grain, hay, potatoes, beans,
vegetables not enough produced for local needs. The
shortage is reflected in the livestock and other industries,
in creamery and cannery output. The loss totals at least
another million.
1 1 ere, then, is a loss of three million dollars in one year.
Hut the loss is really much greater, because with irrigation
there would be intensified fanning, much greater acreage
farmed, many more fanners, more livestock and poult rv,
larger creameries, larger canneries, all of which wouhl
create more industries.
The loss to the valley from lack of irrigation is incal
culable. It is the one great need, and until water is sup
plied there will be no established property values, no nmr
IceJ for property, no real prosperity.

PARIS, Dee. 17. In the course of
his demand today in tho chamber of
deputies that tho chamber grant
three months' credit on the budget ac
count, Alexandre Itibot, Trench min
ister of finance, stated that the sub
scription to tho recent French na
tional loan from London nlono was
GOO.OOO.OOO francs (.11!0,000,000).
At another point in his speech M.
Ribot Btnted that whilo the war ex
penditure nt tho beginning of the
conflict wus 1,500,000,000 francs'per
month, it wus now 2,100,000,000
francs.
Tho chamber by n vote of G04 to 1
voted the credits asked on account of
tho first semester of 1010.
"At tho beginning ot hostilities,"
said M. Ulbot, financial considera
tions took a secondary place. Wo did
not think the war would last seven
teen months nnd now no ono can fore
seo when It will end."
During tho discussion Deputy Jules
Rocho said tho war already had cost
Franco 2G, 000000,000 francs (5,
200,000,000) and her enemies -17,-
000,000,000 francs. Kuropo ns a
