their consideration in the settle ment of affairs growing out of the war president harding has accepted the invitation of the allies to depute representatives of the united states to par ticipate in the suprejne council- the reparations commission and the conference of ambassadors this resumption of participation in the councils of the allies the president aims to carry out without entangling the united states in purely european a fairs the american rcprcsntatives will participate in tho deliberations but not in the actual decisions of tho several conference they will have no power to bind the united states to participation in or support of any specific course of action the united states will commit itself only by legislation or treaty in dealing with foreign questions in which there is a direct or indirect american interest let lake a lesson some new light which should be a- lesson us is thrown on tho chinese famine situation by writer jn conservation china is now face to race with dncof tho worst famines in her history ap proximately 15000000 people are in imminent dan ger qf starvation tho area affected is somel00000 square utiles in extent and as only the most primi tive means of transport exist it is impossible for millions of the miserable inhabitants to get out of thostricken districts in spito qt frantic efforts- to do so in addition to the scarcity of food there is an equally terrible scarcity of fuel tho poorer classes have always to rely on grass roots and stubble to keep their little fires alight and this year there is no stumble ad a result the rigorous climate of north western china is taking its toll and thousands are perishing from the cold the immediate causes of the famine were disastrous floods followed by a long period of drought which resulted- in the complete failure of three successive crops 4 these calamities in turn wero caused in large part by a reckless wast age of natural resources tho chinese have been extremely unscientific and wasteful in the handling of their forests tho rich agricultural lands of the lower plateaus were stripped of tree growth probably centuries ago but until within even a hundred years ago great forests covered the fountain plateaus and slopes of central china these have been utterly destroyed over great areas and no attempt made at rcforestratioh cither by natural orartiflciajmcans as a result the slopes have been so eroded by heavy rains as to bo veritable deserts moreover the lack of forest cover on the uplands has mado possible alternate floods and droughts the very factors- that have brought disaster to so many millions of people in china this year an area about onequarter tho size of ontario fertile enough to maintain a popula tion of over 50000000 people has become as a result of human folly and shortsightedness a place where men must oyer be haunted by fear of destruction that really m theci mti with a grouch basin every speech with a growl whet a bountiful day
