A Blow on the Head.
Fighters Succeed.
How Rich Are We?
Ford and Standard Oil.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Frank James, called hopelessly
insane, trying to escape from
Mattcawan asylum, received a
hard blow on the head. It restored
his reason. From a violent young
criminal he has changed to a model
young man.
That seems to be the cure that
Europe needs. And the blow on
the head won’t be long delayed
for somebody.
English taxes are three time as
high as ours. You know what
ours are, and what a terrible pain
, they give to our prosperous ones.
German police and military au
thorities are locking up and shoot
ing down royalist gentlemen who
think Germany needs another
dose of kaiserism. The most hope
ful sign in Europe is the continued
existence of the German republic.
Mustapha Kemal says American
ships “profane” the sacred waters
of the Dardanelles. He orders
them out, and they are going if
they haven’t already gone.
Don’t you think it fortunate
this nation was not tricked or
wheedled into accepting that Ar
menian mandate? Had we ac
cepted it we should be at war,
young Americans would be shipped
across the ocean and England’s
taxes would not be three times as
big as ours.
The allies have all marched out
of Constantinople, withdrawing
their troops, politely saluting
Mohammed’s flag with the crdscent
in departing.
The muezzin still drones his call
to prayers from the towers of St.
Sofia, beautiful Christian church
that the Christians could not keep.
“Kicking Turkey out of Europe,’’
again turns into a farce.
Nothing succeeds like a good
fighter. Kemal is a good fighter.
Statistics put the wealth of the
United States, everything included,
at $300,000,000,000.
Taxation assessment on New
York city’s real estate is increased,
this year, more than $1,000,000,
000. The total assessed value
of New York is $11,250,000,000.
It would be impossible to guess the
total wealth of the United States
with several cities that will soon
be bigger than New York is now
—Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle,
Detroit among others.
"Henry Ford will rival Stand
ard Oil, and supply those that use
Ford cars with gasoline at 16 eents
a gallon, or less.” That is the
latest. If not true, It’s a pleasant
dream.
Queer that no automobile manu
facturer has thought of supplying
buyers of his cars with the two
essentials, fuel at the lowest com
mercial price, garages at reason- .
able cost. To store a cheap car
in the outskirts costs as much per
square foot as to rent a first-class
stere in a city. At the end of a
year the owner has paid as much
for storage as he paid for the car.
If Fords means to compete with
Standard Oil his views have
changed.
Some time ago, at Dearborn,
Mr. Ford said he considered the
Standard Oil company one of the
best, if not the best, managed
business concerns in the United
States.
In the steerage yesterday 11
princes and 12 princesses arrived
in New York with barely enough
money to make their admission
here possible. They are from Rus
sia, where princes, like rubles, are
at a heavy discount.
Our Zeppelin fliers are to have
real names instead of numbers.
The XR-1 is to be called Shenan
doah. Why not name that one plain
"Zeppelin," and give American
names to the others? If Zeppelin
won’t do, name the ship Goethe
or Schiller. They didn’t start the
war.
Our super-Zeppelin, now build
ing in Germany, will carry mails
from London to New York in two
days, making regular flights.
Passenger traffic will soon fol
low.

One Market Agency
for Wheat Is Plan
(Continued From Flrat Pune.)
Coolidge, they called on Mr. Meyer.
Mr. Meyer told them of the investiga
tions he made during the past sum
mer Into the European markets for
American farm products. The point
he most emhaslzcd was that former
ly European consumers and European
banks did the financing of American
crops.
They took the crop from the Ameri
can seller whenever the seller was
ready and held them until the Euro
pean consumer was ready to buy.
This is no longer done. The reason
Is, the fluctuation in exchange and
the erratically changing value of cur
rencies, which reason, incidentally,
brings the farmers’ troubles back to
the old story of Europe’s political and
economlo instability. Under theso
conditions Mr. Meyer said:
Co-Operation Important.
“The Europeatl buyers do not eon
tract for wheat far ahead, but buy
from hand to mouth and do not carry
the normal prewar atocka of wheat
in elevators and In mill warehouses.
This situation cannot change for the
present and the producing countries
must carry ths atocka which former
ly were carried by the consuming
countries. This means for America
slower marketing, with warehousing
and financing adjusted to a slower
distribution, and emphasizes the im
portance of developing co-operative
marketing associations."
It Is to meet this need that the
present plan Is devised. All that la
meant really by the proposal la that
the American wheat farmers shall
organize themselves Into a co-opera^
tlve foreign marketing association un
der the leadership of the government
and financed by the government.
This It a fundamentally useful and
permanent thing to do. It will help
much. But It eannot work magic. It
cannot reduce the size of the Cana
dian crop which w-lll be sold in the
same markets ss American wheat
and In competition with It.
