The Repuoncan Journal Belfast. Thursday. June 22,1922. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY .The Republican loumal Pub. Co. A. 1. BROWN. Editor. QUOTATIONS "We are weak, but Thou art strong; Short our lives, but Thine are long; We are blind, but Thou hast eyes; We are fools, but Thou art wise; Thou, our morrow’s pathway knowing Through the strange world round us growing, Hear ua, tell us where we are going ” — "‘Faith shows the future’s promise; Love's offering is a triumph won; And each good thought or action moves The dark world nearer to the sun. Then faint not, falter not, nor plead Thy weakne s; truth itself is strong; The lion’s strength, the eagle’s speed, Are not alone vonchsafed to wrong.” For several years shocking reports of Turkish barbarities in the Near East, especially in Armenia, have been current in this country. Great Britain, France and Italy, countries which are most vital- j ly interested in eastern affairs, and which are generally credited with having at least an average endowment of humane sympathy, have, until a few weeks ago> •paid little or no attention to these re porta. But now the above mentioned nations have decided to make investiga tion of these reports by competent of ficials, and the United States has been invited to send representatives to join in a thorough investigation. Mr. Hughes has replied to this invitation saying that in view of the humanitarian considerations involved and the desire of this govern ment to have adequate information con cerning actual conditions and all the facts concerning alleged Turkish atroci ties, the President will designate some officer or officers to take part in the in vestigation. Mr. Hughes, however, made it clear that the action of this govern- ' ment was limited to an investigation and assumed no further obligation. This res ervation was wise. It may be the duty of the United States to aid in suppressing the crimes of Turkish assassins, but first, let us get the facts. When the international bankers,recent ly assembled in Paris, refused to make a loan to Germany, the military party, the financiers and the great masters of industry in that country must have realized, as never before, that Ger many was hopelessly de'eated on the battlefields of Europe. These German interests seem to have regarded the ar mistice as being a ruse to gain time to save its armies, its munitions, its equip ment and army supplies. It seems to look upon the treaty as being a scrap of paper and has evaded the fulfillment of its terms in every way possible. There is not a nation in the world which will lend money to Germany and now the re presentatives of the great financial in terests of the world have abandoned that county to its self imposed fate, which seems likely to be violent disorder and starvation, and perhaps invasion by the armies of France. Nearly a year ago, representative An derson, chairman of the Congressional committee on Agricultural Inquiry, re ported to Congress that almost half of what the consumer pays for goods repre sents the cost of service in bringing and distributing commodities from the pro ducer to the consumer. To speak in exact terms, 51 cents out of a dollar went to the producer and 49 cents went to trans portation, distribution and profits. Only last week Mr. Anderson issued another report which states that we have now reached a point where it costs more to distribute, etc , than the producer gets. He says actual commodity values are lost in a maze of service costs and says the time has come to attack this, the fundamental problem of the high cost of living. When the reduction oi ireigni was ordered the railroads signified their intention to obey. When a reduction of the wages of railroad employes was ordered Mr. Gompers and other leaders at once urged a strike. We do not believe a majority of the railroad employes will follow the radicals. It is expected that a strike and an anti-strike vote of I wo of the eleven railroad brotherhopds will be taken and the result made known before July first. A vote of the other nine brotherhoods may be called later. Events _are likely to push to solution the question as to whether the labor unions or the United Stales government is going to rule a this country. Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Am bassador to the United States, has sent a note to our State Department relating to the St. Lawrence Waterway project This note intimates that it is the opinion of 1he Canadian government that this is not an expedient time to deal with this matter. It is further intimated that the position taken is due to the large expense which would be involved. This shows that discussion of this matter may as well cease for several years. The American Farm Bureau Federa tion has reported that it has enrolled a million and a quarter farmers. This or ganization ia growing rapidly and while it does not operate aa a labor union it has demonstrated that the farmers can get to gether when they want to do so. How would the miners, the railroad men, the Factory workers, the tinkers ana tailora i;fc> it if the farmers locked up their im Sjlementa and started on a strike for ■ytwirter hours and more pay?_' In Case of Accidents KjHHbl Cuts, Scalds, Burns, Jfl Sprains and Bruises, In Bites, EVERYTHING SEEMED WRONG Until “Fruit-a-tlws” Made Everything Right Mokito'vn, YKRyorcT. “For years, I suffer.',1 with Kulnev andLiverfomplaint; my Kick ached; my liver was sluggish; and my whole system seomoi! out >>f or<lor. “l’ruit-a-tives” was the only re medy to help me.

QOPENSBURG, X ■ Waldo County Farm Bureau To Hold Special Meeting At Belfast. Friday, June 23rd. Members Will Decide Questions of In :teasing Membership Fees and Affiliating With American Farm Bureau Federation The members of the Waldo County Farm Bureau will hold a special meeting in the farm bureau office at Belfast, Fri day, June 23rd, at 2 p. m., to decide whe ther they will increase the farm bureau membership fee and affiliate with the American Farm Bureau Federation. It is proposed to increase the member ship fee to five dollars per family, of which 32.50 would go to the County Farm Bureau and 32.50 to the Maine Farm Bureau Federation. The state organiza tion would pay fifty cents per member to the American Farm Bureau Federation. What snail be done rests entirely with the members, but they must decide at this meeting. You should attend and vote. Julian Emery, of Bar Harbor, President ot the Maine Federation'.of Farm Bureaus, will be present and fully explain the rea sons for the proposed increase in the membership fee, and will outline some of the things which a strong State Feder ation might be expected to accomplish. Tnis meeting is being held as the re sult of action taken by the state Federa tion at Orono which was announced in the May issue of the News. At that time, it was voted that the en tire question of developing the State Federation and affiliating with the nation al organization, steps which will make ne cessary an increase in the membershi; fee, should be submitted to the members themselves at a series of special Juns meetings, at which a decisive voteshoulc 1 be taken. It was voted that the State Federatiot ! should recommend that the county farn i bureaus should amend their constitutioi I so that the membership fee should be ' placed on a family basis The federation also recommends that the period of membership be three years and each member be required to 8igc check forms that can be cashed yearly. If a majority of the county farn bureaus approve the proposed changes, the officers of the State Federation wii complete arrangements for a membershit campaign on the basis of the changes | made.
