FEDERATION OF FARMERS PLANS TO FIGHT WRONGS
Middlemen and Marketers to be Investigated $200,000 Fund to be Raised. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 16.
With representatives present from
practically every county In the state,
an enthusiastic meeting ot the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations was held at the Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday and plans were launched for
raising a guarantee fund of $200,000
with which to carry on the work or the organ it atlon for a period of at
least three years.
The plan as submitted met with favor among the farmers present at
the session, and the work of raising
the guarantee fund will be carried out
by the various county organizations and the money forwarded to headquarters In this city. Several hundred dollars were raised at Tuesday's meeting. Little difficulty Is expected In securing the necessary funds, as the federation has been increasing Its membership by leaps and bounds since It was organized this spring. Governor Goodrich welcomed the farmers at a luncheon which was followed by a business session at which a series of resolutions were passed, including one in favor of the repeal of the daylight saving law pending in congress. Another resolution was passed favoring the old three-mile road law as It stood prior to the last session of the State Legislature. Resolutions Passed. Part of the series of resolutions passed were as follows: 1. We find that the work of comprehensive and far-reaching of organizing this new movement 1s well begun. All that retards a complete organization of the remaining counties of the state is a lack of funds. We find also that the principles and policies for which we now stand have been correctly stated and clearly defined. 2. We see facing us great problems problems backed by powerful organizations and problems that affect not only the farmers' interests but those cf each and all consumers. Wrongs Interlocked and hidden but powerful and controlled exist In the stock yards, railroads, grain markets and meat markets. The public press !s full of criticism and complaints of thepe wrongs. The Department of Agriculture at Washington says: "Meat prices of the consumers have gone so high that the peoples are denying themselves meat and yet the prices are so low to the producers that they are mutually losing money on mutton and beef." Wrongs Must be Righted. These wrongs roust be righted not by telephone or lawless methods, not by hasty or radical legislation there are better ways than these there are better ways than boycotting. Let the farmers organize, secure the ablest counsel to Investigate and tabulate their wrongs before the bar of public opinion.

SENATOR'S WIFE IS POPULAR, ACTIVE IN POLITICS, TOO
U. S. MUST COME TO FRENCH AID IN CASE OF FRESH GERMAN AGGRESSION
By FRANK H. SIMONDS Like the League of Nations, the
treaty guaranteeing France against any hew German aggression enters at once into the domestic political contro
versy, yet it is essential that the American public should at least know the circumstances which surround its inception and development. As to the French need of such a guarantee, the fact that France has four times been invaded by German armies in the last hundred years is the best evidence. Now actually what happened at Paris during the Peace Conference was this: Marshal Foch, speaking with an authority not to be questioned anywhere, speaking as a soldier as well as a Frenchman, declared that France could not be safe against German invasion unless the military frontier of the republic was at the Rhine. There, and only there, was a barrier which in French hands would insure both France and Belgium against a repetition of the events of August, 1914. To this expert opinion President Wilson took exception. French military occupation of the left bank of the Rhine was inconsistent with his fourteen points. In this contention the
atempts to follow his old pathways of Invasion. To the French mind, and I think to most fair minds, such a course on the part of America will seem like a deliberate betrayal. France will feel that she has been tricked into surrendering her lines of defense, now occupied by French armies and still conceivably to be held. In such a sit-

Nations project, they could count on
American armies to counterbalance the loss, incident to their sacrifice. Now the whole treaty of peace has been constructed upon this basic fact, so far as the French are concerned. To destroy this foundation is to remove the sole argument for French retirement from the Rhine. It also advertises to the Germans that they

vision, to prepare such an invasion and French armies were not permitted to meet It at the Rhine barrier. The French demand, then, was for precisely the guarantee which Mr. Wilson and Lloyd George have furnished in the tripartite agreement, now under general discussion. In effect America and Britain, as represented in Paris, said to France: "If you will resign your claim to youy natural military frontier, we will pledge our respective countries to come to your aid at once and to the limit of our ability." Without such a pledge France could not have accepted the terms of peace, as outlined in the Versailles document. Had the Clemenceau cabinet failed to obtain such a substitute for the conditions prescribed by Foch and endorsed by every soldier of standing in the world, It would have fallen. In fact, only the announcement that such a pledge had been obtained saved the Clemenceau government, when it became known that this government had consented to Mr. Wilson's demands. Now the whole treaty of peace with Germany, so far as France is concerned, is based upon the essential condition that the United States and Great Britain guarantee their protection and support to France, in case France is attacked. We have, in effect, persuaded the French to consent to an arrangement of her eastern frontiers, which will leave her open to
know in advance, that such invasion will bring them instantly into collision with the United States and Britain. France Will Feel Betrayal. If the, United States now defaults, if the senate now rejects the engagement of the president, If it declines to assure France of the support of the president, if it declines to assure France of the. support the president
has promised, observe what the effect
will be. France will again be open to invasion, she will be open to invasion because she has agreed to sur
render her natural line of defense, at
the request of Britain and the United
States on the express condition that both these countries promised her to come to her assistance if the German
