Ii79- ’ ------ r Farmers of Europe Are Prosperous American Sale of Foodstuffs Overseas May Not Be Bene fited by Normalcy On Continent. Livestock Is Increasing By MARK SFI.LIYAN. Special Di'imUli to The Omaha llee. Washington. May 10.—>The theory lit Id by the leaders of the American Farm Bureau federation and farm bloc, and widely disseminated among the American farmers themselves dur ing the past four or five months, is that when Europe becomes stabilized the market for American farm goods will increase to the point of bringing the American farmers' condition back to prewar prosperity. This theory has been made the basis for a move ment among American farmers look ing to pressure on our government toward helping to hurry Europe back toward normal. On paper, and from a point of view 4.000 miles west of Europe, in the Mississippi valley, the theory looks sound. In Europe, however, one be ams faintly, at least, to question It. It may be that with the wheat-raisers ■ f Russia. Roumanla and elsewhere in Europe, back to normal production, they will be aide to supply Europe its own wheat and other foodstuffs to a greater degree than before the war. Fanner “Coming Back." Throughout all Europe, the farmer is the one man who is “coming back," and coming back fast. Everywhere, lie has paid off his mortgage in de predated currency. A continental European farmer, who, before the war, was burdened with a heavy mortgage, is now able to pay the In terest in depreciated currency with a dozen eggs, and to pay the principal with a cow. The farmer is conspicu ously the rising class in Europe. Everywhere, he is adding a horse or a row or a few more Bheep to his stock, or buying better farirv ma chinery. In many European cities you can find distress and starvation, but go 10 miles out Into the country and you find prosperity and comfort. The farmer may not have much inose money in terms of gold than any uf the other classes of Europe, but he has his farm, his shelter, and plenty to eat and wear. Because ills mortgage has been paid off. practi ally his only necessary outgo is the t a x es. And the growing political power of the farming class is such hat they are able to keep their taxes down. Russian Peasant Secure. Even in Russia, the peasant Is now ‘'■cure in the possession of his land on the payment of a lax to the com munist government, whi\i averages •bout 10 per cent. In Russia, as re cards lard, the communist theory has now receded to tIre point where the Russian farmer Is permitted to he "radically as secure in the tenure to hi- lain! as the American farmer. Everywhere, throughout the ronti ri it of Europe, the resurgence of the 1 crruer, the increase in his stock, the uplift in his prosperity, and the In crease ill his productiveness is the universal phenomena of hope and achievement. Great Britain is an ex •P'lon. The British farmer has not adopted modern machinery to the ex lent that the continent has. Omitting Groat Britain, in the rest of Europe the progress of the farmer in productiveness and otherwise is probably the most conspicuous of the newer phases of European conditions. It is possible that after stabilization is complete the European farmer, with his increased use of machinery, may be aide to supply Europe with its foodstuffs with much less depen dence on America than Europe for merly had. All this, of course, ap plies to foodstuffs only, and not to cotton. The southern cotton-raising < dies of America are sure lo profit greatly when Europe gets back to normal.

One Woman Still Held Ity As'MK'latril PrfM. Pekin. May 10.—A hitch has de veloped in negotiations for the release of the captives held by the Suehow bandits in their hill stronghold back of lunching, according to a report carried by the Asiastie News agency, a Chinese news service. The m-ws agency declared that the government's hasty acceptance of the bandits' preliminary demand that the pursuing troops be called off has made the brigands skeptical of offi cial sincerity and has led them to fear that Pekin is laying a trap for them. v Wu Yu-Un, minister of communi cations, the agency says, has tele graphed Gen. Tien Chung-Yu, gov ernov of .Shantung, informing him of the indignation of the foreign lega tions at the Suehow outrage and of the demands made by the foreign diplomats on the Pekin government.

By t nlftrul Service. Washington, May 10—Kollnwing Secretary Mellon's announcement of the successful funding of Unde Sam's short time debt, taxjiaycrs throughout the United States have sent a per fect flood of letters to then senators and representatives, asking if It Is not alnut tune to have tb- .r taxes reduced. The answer to thes*. tnquii m* is that the treasury and the administra tion b ailers In congress want to b*ve the taxes alone for a little while, in order that they may find out just how much revenue the preceiit tax law will bring in before making any drastic reductions. Secretary Mellon does not favor tax revision at the next session of con gress. nor does Senator Smoot, who will be chairman of the finance com mittee. nor Representative Green, who will head the ways and means committee. Senator l.a Kollette and some of the other progressive leaders may undertake to cut some of the taxes, but the disposition of administration officials at ihis time is to let them alone.
