Newspaper readers, in th? last weel? or tWD, must have noticed the new tone of confidence with welch the leading business men of Omaha have been speaking of the process of readjust ment of prices and profits that has been under way since October. Opinion from such sources properly carries great weight, and their belief that a stabilized basis has just about been reached ought to do much to lift whatever de pression remains. One business man sees so clearly that things are fundamentally sound 4hat he has expressed his optimism through the medium of th adver- v tising columns. Another comes back from a v '-trip in foreign lands, and finds every reason to rejoice in the -comparison of America's condi- ' tion with that abroad. Others are able to see in the temporary hardships a call to the in genuity and ability of American industry, as well as a practical demonstration to the public generally that the processes f business are jipt-, entirely taken up with raking in profits,' but have vital connection with the ..whole structure of national life. . .- One great fact"!ht it is well to hold fast is that there, is no reason why this nation should not enjoy vigorous, healthy and booming busi ness. According to the statement qf the Wall Street Journal, we produce 60 per cent of the world's cotton, 62 per cent of its copper, 66 per cent of its oil, SO per cent of its pig iron and steel, 85 per cent of its automobiles, 45 per tent of its grain, 75 per cent of its agricul tural machinery, 70 per cenjrof its telephone apparatus, 85 per cent'oi jts typewriters, 50 per cent of its ships and 75 per cent of its packing products x ... ' This ismatter not for empty pridel but for. very real confidence in fie solid basis of Amer ican Industry. Credit conditions are the acute . - thing in the present situation, and confidence , is the invariable requisite for credit. While it is true the credit that can be called into- exist-, ence equals the (sum of the market ;alue of all existing goods and services, and that we have the volume of goods estimated by. the Wall Street Journal, confidence must also function as a necessary condition, , That thej really big figures in business are, not pulling long faces over the , readjustment that has been so long delayed since the armi stice is a most encouraging things to lesser figures' who might otherwise lose heart It is as the Manufacturers' Record rt?ently said: The watchman sees thati the morning cometh. He sees that the clouds are grow ing thinner, the lightning strikes less fiercely, and faintly he visions a sign that the storm is passing. That it the story of business. It has faced the storm, k l it has.been beaten down for awhile, but it -will soon arise and move upward to higher ,: ground. The clouds are passing, the sun begins to shine, and the watchman sings tiloud to the farmer and the merchant, the ' manufacturer and the day laborer, "The Morning Comethl" s Banging, in the Corn Crop. From the University of Nebraska' College of Agriculture comes the cheering announcement that only between one-third and one-fourth of the corn crop of the state still is in the field. The further news is that farmers are paying from 7 to 9 cents, a bushel to huskers. No in dication here of a purpose to neglect the crop on account of falling prices. If two-thirds of , a 250,000,000-bushcl crop has heen garnered, it 1 means that considerably more corn than Ne braska raised in J919 is in the cribs. If the minimum wage paidvhuskers is 7 cents a bushel, it means that already the farmers have PM out nearly $12,000,000 to the men who have helped; to gather the crop.- And the man who gets 7 - cents a bushel with his board and lodging for husking corn is being well paid. It is, hard work, but the strong and active men who en- "-. gage in it look on 'seventy-five bushels as a ' light day's work, and frequently put more thaiv a hundred to their credit Nebraska's corn crop is not to be wasted, and the huskers are not being-deprived of a reasonable return for the hard work they are putting in.' A knowledge of these facts may comfort some whc have been I ' dolorously lamenting the situation. ' : " "V ' : ' - , Obreg'on and Recognition. , , Citizens of the" United States may or may 'not find relief in the announcement that Presi dent Obregon of Mexico will not press further for recognition of hia-government' He will, it is stated, quietly pursue the tenor of his well . intentioned way, and we trust it will be noise " leS9j and by deeds that wear thelivery of honest virtue hope to merit the good opinion of man-, kind. Such resolution, if it has been taken, will get the" approval of all Mexico has suffered mightily through a term of ten years because of the unruly disposition of its politicians. Not only has the patience of the world outside been sorely tried, but the resources of the country have been sadly misused, while generals who were not even "great in that magic spell, a. name," have 'turned the magnificient possibility of the land to destruction. Alvaro Obregon has emerged i from the ruck as the one man apparently capable of holding and exercising power, possessed, of vision and capacitytempered by actual trial and imbued with a desire to really help the people of ' Mexico jrsther than to feather his own nest. He may be Strong enough to bring order to the and if he can he need have no fear as to recog mtion. It will come quickly enough, for the , world has a considerable bill to present to MexU co on account of the things done since Madcro began to resist Diaz. , . v.. V The Flaw in the League. : Words once uttered cannot be wiped from memory by the mere process of , eliminating them from th official record. Accordingly the protest of k. W. RowelL Canadian repre sentative in the assembly of the League of Nations, against the tendency, which seemed apparent to him, to establish Europe in control of the operation of the league, must be taken as" further evidence of the conflict betwee. the ideals of the old world and the new. - "Fifty thousand Canadian soldiers under the sod in France and Flanders is "the price Canada has paid for European statesmanship," he de clared to the astonished assembly at Geneva. It was to eliminate the. possibility of a re eurrence of another such war that the proposal for a world federation was approved by the peo ple of 'the new world and of the old alike. Domination of international affairs Jby secret ' alliances, by selfish motives, or for the particu lar benefit of any nation or nations was to be eliminated as a cause of conflict." The people oTthe United States solemnly came to the con clusion that the covenant did not offer this re lief as it was drawn; Argentina has withdrawn ha representative at Geneva; now a Canadian, a British subject, who least of all on this conti nent might be thought to object to a situation that gave his empire a position of advantaged cans attention to me Gangers ot control of world affairs by Europe. , ( '' These events, tar from discouraging those who hope for international peace, contain much that is encouraging.

While the Chamber of Commerce, a number Sa.i 4!-t -.- t ?

Congress man Jefferis has written, to the chairman of the house committee dealing with the subject, set ting forth the needs and possibilities, and it is to be hoped hisefforts will bring some definite action.;" . . " j Just now The Bee wants to' call attention to practical consideration. The matter of pro tecting the shores jot the stream from erosion, a source 'of tremendous loss has been solved. The BignalJ system effectually Restrains the current, prevents cutting and saves the land. The man who devised this method of dealing with the unruly stream, even in its wildest moods, has made a close study of the general problem, and gives as his opinion that the safe and secure navigation of the Missouri river at all stages of 'water is easy of accomplishment Without going into an 'elaboration of details, it is proposed by Mr. Bignall to remove the -obstructing bars by dredging a channel through them and allowing .the flow of water to do the rest' The silt, sand and gravel, of which the bars are, composed, will be deposited by the current behind' a'series of wing dams, such as have been constructed in the-vicinity of Omaha, where they will'serve the double purpose of protecting -the banks and confining the current to the deep channel for the use of boats. This plan rests on the conditions which per mit the formation of the dangerous bars. It seems plausible, and diserves a testIts chief "proponent believes it to be as feasible as he Bignall pile, which does alot of things the ex pert thought impossible 'till they saw the fact a Line u iypc or ivvo Hrw to tba Lint, t tfc qulpe fall trhtre they may.

The League of Nations is informed by Baron Hayashi that Japan is preparing to return Shan tung Ho China, btft finds difficulty in the process by reason of Chinese refusal to entef negotia tions. Recalling the last "conversation" be tween the two governments, the reluctance of the Chinese to enter another is not so remark able. It was in May, 1915, and terminated in a curt statement that China's answers were not at all satisfactory to tfle'mikado'S government, and, unless compliance with the twenty-one demands were made within twenty-four hours, his sacred augustness wouM take such steps as would bring China to understand that he meant business. A Japanese army already was in China, ostensfc bly to act against Germany, but occupying posi tions of great strategic, value, boti for defense and offense. Helpless China complied under protest and n echo of this protest was heard at Paris, where Tasker H. Bliss, Robert Lans ing and E. M.

If the mikado's government is ready to retire from the province it wrongfully holds, the way is open; it can get out without further negotiations, which Tnay take The color at least of some further .impositionNm the Chinese.

Salous makfts a statement relative to tsetse fly and sleeping sickness In' Soutn Africa which may help us to see.jtnis particular angle of the case. When he first went to 'South Africa wild catle were almost everywhere. Wherever there wereJld cattle there were tsetse .flies, ana In every section, where tsetse, flies abounded the w natives and their tame, cattle were subject to sleeping sickness. So fatal was this feickness to native cattle and to native men that cer tain strips of country had t6 be avoided. But though the tsetse flies lived oh the wild cattle, the latter never were infected with sleeping sickness. Then came the great epi demic of rinderpest, killing off prac tically all of the wild cattle. The regions where the wild cattle were killed off. When Salous revisited Africa a few years after this great epidemic he found oxen pulling wagons and domestic cows abounding In sections where before the rinderpest came no tame oxen or cow could live for an hour without being bitten by tsetse V..

Anderson, Ind.,Dec. 6.-To the Editor of The Bee: I do not ap prove of your Sentiments as .ex pressed by "The Editorial of Uhe Day" In the Chicago Tribune, De cember 5. i The farmers of Kansas and the northwest have a perfect right as long as their products remain their own property to administer them as they see fit, especially when their agricultural careers and interests are at stake. If it is lawful to force farmers to sell their products when it may mean their financial loss. would prevent them from carrying on larming, wny should not this same principle apply to other busi ness enterprises of our nation, such as the merchandise, clothing, steel or wholesale meat packers, etcT.
