On Wednesday of this week a meeting of bureau members was held in West Kaysville when the matter of sugar beet contracts was discussed and labor problems considered. It was decided to leave th matter of beet contracts wholly to the general committee meeting with the sugar companies in Salt Lake City.

This assertion is based on present policies and conditions and there is hut little hope that these policies or conditions will be materially changed. Already American ships are tied upon both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for want of cargo while British ships are carrying cargoes to and t to over the Seven Seas. Englands colonies, located in all parts of the world and greatly added to by the spoils of the Great World a War, are furnishing catgo for ships. Two years ago San Francisco was the. port to which many of the products of the East Indias found their way. Today but little of thia commerce reaches our great Pacific port. Two years ago the crude rubber of the British possessions in the Orient reached the tire makers of the f' Eng-land- United States through that port, hut already London has again herself as the crude rubber market of the world, and American tire manufacturers are again paying tribute to London Rrchants for crude ' rubber. That which is true of rubber is also true of most import trade. England holds in her hands the raw materials of South Africa, Egypt, Arabia, Mesopotamia, India, the Straights Settlements, Australia, Borneo, the South Sea Islands, and several of the' West Indies. The products of these colonies are Ilritinh-owne- d and are carried in British ships to the great British market, London, where other nations must ship their wares, and both sell and buy on British terms and at British prices. , In carrying her own commerce England is enabled to more cheaply carry the exports of other nations, and she usually carries them to her own market and reaps a profit by selling them to other nations. Such are the workings of the colonial and merchant marine system of England. It is the system which has made her the creditor nation of the worlij in the past and will again make her the creditor of these United States of America. The United States is help-leagainst this system, a system which has already tied up our shipping on both our coasts. What are our legislators in Washington going to do about it Our great(?) minds still insist that uje do not want foreign colonies to furnish cargo for our ships, and field for American capital and American energy. These great minds wanted to give up the Sandwich islands and now want to give up the Philippines and Porto Rico. They are strong for the right of for every little two by four bit of territory. They are for control of our shipping by an internal commerce commission which fixes wages and precludes our shipping interests In competing with foreign ships. They want to forgive the war debts of European nations and let them bold the lands which they have gained from Germany, both in Europe and abroad. It is a fine, altruistic system, which seems to have been permanently fixed on the United States, so much so that we never hear much about Europe paying the United States interest on real money, but read much each day about the determination of the allies to make Germany pay ir.demnlfy gs There is an acute shortage today of Ford cars in some crim-Prosecuti- Story of DeaL h this distribution. nt, . T CLEARFIELD Last Saturday a meeting of the Clearfield local farm bureau was held at Clearfield. It was announced at this meeting that the land owners of Clearfield, Syracuse and West Point had contracted for twenty miles of drain lines on the lands of that district. The matter of labor in the beet fields was discussed and the following prices agreed on: For hand work (thinning, hoeing, irrigating, topping and loading one side of wagon) of the price received for the beets. This price was distributed as follows: Thinning, $6.00 per acre; hoeing, $5.00 per acre; topping, 60 cent per ton;, topping and loading one aide of wagon, 75 centa per ton. The price for irrigating is not given In a $12,000. 20, 1920, Mr. Pingree sets that the same men wrote out paper which Called for the '? over of additional stock and and also under threats of prosecution made him sigil iv il SI tin wnittee Py I -- buts. &ck.
