EASINESS LOOKS INTO FARMING
If anyone has wondered what prac
tical business men think of farming
and its wose, we have the answer in
the report of the Business Men's
Commission on Agriculture, which
has just been made public by its
chairman, Charles Nagel.
The Commission is a creature of
the National Industrial Conference
Board and the United Chamber of
Commerce, but its findings are Its
own. Here they are:
1. Farming is better off than it
was in the period of adjustment after
the war. It suffered from several
things, among them speculation in
farm real estate, the loss of a tor
eight market for crops in nations im
poverished by the war, and the high
er labor costs, both in itself and the
makers o f manufactured products
which it uses, resulting from immi
gration restriction.
2. Farming suffers from ineffi
ciency of all other industry. The
farmer must decrease his cost pro
duction, as well as sell in a more
stable market than he has had since
the war. if he is to make farming
profitable. He is not, as he seems to
think, independent, but interdepend
ent. He is beginning to realize that,
and is acting upon his realization.
Farm communities are beginning to
function as communities, holding in
common the machinery and the pow
er that is of use to all.
2. The Government ought not to
become a dealer in surplus crops if
there is any other way to take them
off the market and keep up farm
prices. If that is necessary, as the
McXai -y-Haugen bill advocates be
lieve, it should be a partner with
private and cooperative organiza
tions, contributing part of the com
mon fund with which to hold sur
plus crops off the market and itself
associated with all other helpful
agencies under the guidance of a
Federal Farm Board.
4. Farming needs (a) a more
equitable tariff under which it can
share with manufacturing the bene
fits of protection; (bi regulation
which will leave crops to lands cap
able of producing crops profitably
while lands incapable of so doing are
devoted to forestry, pasturage, etc.;
(c) to improve, by making life in
the country attractive and the farm
er's share in the general wealth equit
able, the quality of farmers them
selves, who are too often tenants and
not often enough owners interested
in making their farms pay.
There are other things which
these business men relate to the
farm problem, but these are the prin
cipal points touched upon in their
report. It is, we think, a sound and
sensible report, a valuable contrib
ution to an interesting public ques
tion. The most encouraging thing
about it is that farming is coming
back.
:o:-
Regarding the demand that the
censorship be lifted in Rumania, our
guess is that the Government will
deny it.

When one has time one must be
able to make more intelligent se-;If
lection of the things desired for the
holiuay celebration, o one can do
this in the last minute rushes pre
ceding the Day of Days.
If the public should arrange to d
its buying beginning now, or immed
iately after Thanksgiving, it will en
able the merchants to spread the
sales load and everyone would be
satisfied and much happier. Also,
there would be fewer disappoint
ments in connection with lost gifts
of love sent to distant friends. En
gaging in this practice of early
Christmas shopping means less of
discomfort and weariness to those
who serve you and assure an equal
ized trade from which everyone will j
profit, in one way or another.

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY
IS ANCIENT IN ORIGIN
That Thanksgiving has a mixed
background and that there is noth
ing distinctively American in its
origins, is explained in an editorial
in this week's issue of Liberty.
"Man has always had the thanks
giving habit
" continues the editor -
' the the Feast oflngath-
ial, and cites
ering first celebrated by Jews In an
cient times. For centuries in Eng
land and Holland, it is also pointed
out, special days for general thanks
giving have been observed.
"So the Pilgrims were merely
transplanting a custom when, on
their arrival at Plymouth in 1620,
they observed the first American
Thanksgiving Day," the editorial
goes on. "A year later they staged
a harvest festival, had the Indian
chief Massasoit in to eat with them,
and 'sent four men on fowling, so
that we might, after a special man
ner, rejoice together. Presumably
the fowlers got some wild turkeys,
and the identity of our Thanksgiving
bird was thereupon established.
"Our first real national Thanksgiv
ing came in 1777, after a surrender
of Burgoyne, but it was not until
after the Civil War that the entire
country celebrated it as a national
holiday."
LOOK FOE RUS
SIA RECOGNITION
Rusky Goles, a Russian newspaper
published in New York, has polled
prominent men in the country on the
subject of Russian recognition.
All replies from clergymen and
sociologists were in favor of it. So
were .89 per cent of tne writers. So
were 8 6 per tent of labor leaders.
If these be considered idealistic, sen
timental or biased who replied ap
proved recognition.
Lagging far behind the clergymen,
sociologists, writers, labor leaders,
and even trailing the industrialists by
several lengths were members of Con
gress. Only 25 per cent of the poli
ticians would touch the Reds with a
10-foot barge pole.
So we presume the United States
Government will continue to ignore
officially the existence of a govern
ment now passing into its eleventh
year, and which still makes all hon
est burglars shudder as they pull
down the blinds and latch the doors
at night.

Prince George Wilhelm, second
son -of Princess Hermine and step
