bales Would havo been. Equally
shocking Is tho statement that 700-
000000 bushels of wheat raised by
American farmers would bring thorn
moro money thau a billion bushels.
Yet thceo are not exaggerated state-
ments in a world where thoro nrs
.una of millions who nocd food and
lothlrigwhlch they can not get such
a conuiuon is sure to indict tno social
system which makes it ppsstble. -
In tho main tho remedy lies In
distribution and marketing livery
proper encouragement should bo glvon
to tho co-opcratlvo marketing pro-
grams. These have proven vory help-
ful to tho cO'Opefiitlng communities in
Europe. In ltussla tho co-operative
community has becomo tho recognized
bulwark of law and order and saved
Individualism from cngulfmcnt In
social paralysis. Ultimately thoy wl)l
bo accorded with tho salvation of the
Ilusslan state.
Thuvo Is tho appeal for this exper-
iment. Why not try it? No ono chal-
lenges tho right of the farmer to a
larger share of tho consumers' pay
for his produot no ono can dls-
puto that wo can not llvo without the
farmer. Ho is Justified in rebelling
tho spread of our population and re-
store tho proper balance between
city and country. Tho problont may
well havo your earnest attention.
It hns perhaps been tho proudest
claim of our American civilization
that in dealing with human relation-
ships It has constantly moved toward
such Justlco in distributing tho pro-
duct of human energy that It has

stand of the mass of tho people Ours)
lias been a highly productive social
orgnn. On the. way up from the
elemental stages of socloty wo havo
eliminated slavery and. serfdom and
nro now far on tho way to tho cHmlna-
tion of poverty
Through the eradication of illiteracy
nnd 'tho diffusion of education man-
kind has reached a stago whoro wo
may fairly say that In tho United
States equality of opportunity has
been nttalncd though all aro prepared
to ombraco It.
Thero Is indeed a-great divergence
between tho economic conditions of
tho most and tho least favored class
In tho community. But oven that
divergence has not como to tho point
whoro wo. bracket tho very poor and
tho very rich together as tho least
fortunate classes. Our efforts may
well bo directed to improving tho
status of both.
