DOMESTIC DRAWBACKS. Those wiio nit wonuenug wuj prosperity does not return are peering over their spectacles. They fix their eyes on the far-off horizon and ktep mumbling about tha less of our foreign commerce. Foreign commerce is good. America has made a lot of money out of it But this country has prospered on less foreign commerce than we have now. The inside works of the commercial machine need adjusting. Our domestic commerce should cause us more worry. The country never has been pi u.,pei ,ua when Its farming population was down at the heel. And under preaent conamqus it is futile to expect farmers to feel hilarious.

The armistice signatures were not dry of their ink before a lot of folk stt up a cry fcr deiiaiion and readjustment tnoV deflating the greatest of our industries, agriculture. We have deuated the farmer's Income down to about the 1913 level and we have left his expense pretty nearly at the topnotch cf war times. Ho can hardly give away his hides but he pays as much for his shoos as ever. He begs the buyers to take his lat steers, but IX he wants a steak at the meat market he is charged the full un-Hooveiized price of the darkest days of conflict. . Pork chops are worth their weight in gold, but there Js a slack market for coin-fed hogs. Twine binders cost twice as much as in the former days of dollar wheat, but the dollar shakes h.nds wi.ih the bushsl of the farmer's grain on terms of equality. The farmer must be a reluctant buyer of all but the barest necessities under such conditions. And when the farmers cn not buy there will be no prosperity in this country. Those who wculd remedy the evils from which the country la suffering should scan closely the economic conditions which are thus oppressing the nation's greatest industry and reducing the legitimate incomes of nearly half the country's population.

THE DIFFERENCE. Washington corresponuenU say the fcur-power treaty for peale In the Parlflc will be ratified by the 1'niied States senate because "there's no Attiule X In

it." According to Wood row Wilson, Article X Is "the

! very heart" of the covenant of the League cf Nations 'which he undertook ia vain to get the senate to ratify 'withoht reservations. I Perceiving that this highly desirable plan for in'surance against war, upon which America, Great Bilt- ! ain, France and Japan have agreed, ia sure to go IhrCugh, a few disgruntled democrats, suffering from chronic partisan a stlgmatism, are now professing to be gratified at the coming around of republicans to the original League of Nations scheme and declare that jWocdrow Wilson has thus been vindicated. The fact Is, of course, that the difference between this proposed pact and Article X of the league covenant Is that of day from night. As Senator Lodge says, the powers entering into this new agreement are going to make t.he ; novel experiment of trusting to each others good fa.th to work for the common good aud keep the peace. Any nation that should break its solemn pledge to submit a controversy to a Joint conference of these powers would automatically place itself outside the pale of civilized governments.

This compact relates to matters in which our government and the others have a direct interest because of ownership. We say that la these matters which directly concern us and ovei which we naturally have

control we agree to submit any disputes to the consideration of all having similar interests, with a view to amicable adjustment. Article X would have pledged us to Interfere In matters that did net concern us in jthe slightest, and to help to maintain for ail time the apportionments of territory and the governments set up by the Paris peace conference, however contrary tc principles of Justice and fair dealing. Furthermore, it would have placed our military forces at the command of a super government to help enforce Its dictates In disputes with which we had no concern. Some de

fenders of the league covenant asserted that it Implied no such compelling obligation. Then all that republican senators aked was a reservation plainly stating that fact and pointing out that we reserved freedom of decision. This and similar reasonable reservations , were rejected by Mr. Wilson and his associates. j The great difference between the Pacific fourpower compact and Article X is that the former deals directly with matters that are emphatically our business and that the other Is a trouble maker, potential of more war rather than of peace. The almost unanimous approval of the arrangement bcth at home and abroad should encourage the members of the Wash

ington conference to further distinguished efforts for the peaoe of the world.

WHEN HUNGER COMES. How much It would cost to save Russia from famine depends somewhat on the extent to which we want to save that country. There la a wide diversity cf opinion. Information comes from Walter L. Brown, European director of the relief administaticn in Russia, who says Uxat the government of the United" States will be asked In the near future for a loan of about 530,000.000 to be spent through the relief administration to provide seed, grain and food for the starving population. Although It Is Mr. Brown's belief that this loan, which would amply cover the situation, would be returned by Russia after the next harvest, there are some people who wculd hesitate to give their approval to an undertaking of this kind. There could be found people who, although they might not actually say that Russia Isn't worth saving, wculd still shake a dubious head at our efforts to give relief. Our diversity of opinion In matters that pertain to Russia Is, no doubt. Justified. So contradictory has been our news from Russia the last few years, and so impossible la It to sift this news and to get at the facts, that almost any position which rersous in this country may take is tenable. But although we may Justly differ on the political and economic future of Russia, though we may not care to raise cne finger to further the causa of the sovlfets, and even resent It when someone does favor

AN ADVENTURE IN RUSSIA. On the eve of the departure of the Thirty-first

(regiment of Infantry, United States army, from Vladivostok In March, 1920, a private attended a "vodka party." When he recovered consciousness he found himself at a little town 90 miles inland. Since then he has been wandering in Siberia and European Russia and gradually making his way westward. The other day he turned up In Riga, on the Baltic sea, and taken ia charge by the American relief administration. If this soldier was observant, and has a retentive .memory; if his mind is keen and discriminating, and he is ablo to appraise at their proper value the things ho observed, separating the Important and Interesting from the trivial and the dull, he possesses In the reoollections of his strange Journey valuable literary raatrelal. Notwiihstanding the mavnyj hooks nd articles on Russia which have been published during the last , couple of years It Is still more or less cf an enigma. We remain In Ignorance of many Important aspects of the situation for those wtap have written cf it have been for the most part Journalists and public men who have been taken in tow by the bolshevlgt officials nnj permitted to see what the latter were willing that they should see. This soldier, an obscure person, whose Journey Into Russia was an accident, and who had no mission to perform and no Intention o writing anything, no doubt, had admirable pportunltles for observing the things cf which the outside world would most like to know.
