HURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1920 NCLE SAM 70 | LOAN NO MORE - MONEY ABROAD United States es Will Keep Re- - sources at Home for Needed Development Here “fl & a f EUROPE OWES US FORTUNE Washington, March 11.—Annouhce- ment by Secretary Houston that no further loans would be made to the allies was believed today to indicate the adoption by the treasury of the policy favored by the debtor nations of deferring interest payments for the next three years or more. Under authority granted by con- gress to extend $10,000,000,000 credits to. the allidd nations, the treasury has made loans amounting to $9,659,834,- 649. Secretary Houston said that the remainder of the credits. authorized ‘ would not be granted, as it was thought sufficient advances had been made. INTEREST POSTPONED 3 YEARS Discussing the question treasury of- ficials said that in view of the ex- change situation, and the unsettled economic cofdition of the European nations during the reconstruction period, it would seem advisable to per- mit them to postpone interest pay- ments for at least three years. Then they would be in a position to meet their obligations. With the interest on the loans com- puted at 5 percent, the total due the United States is about $470,000,000, an cnormous sum for the war-weak- ened countries to. pay at present. If interest is funded into long term ob- ligations the interest on the payments thus deferred will amount to only $23,000,000 yearly, which can be paid and the credit of the debtor nations maintained. BRITAIN IS CHIEF DEBTOR Treasury officials are working, on ‘recommendations to submit con- gress on the course to be followed if deferred payments are permitted. It has been suggested that the interest be charged off, but the proposal has met with strong opposition in con- gress. ‘ America’s chief debtors are Great Britain with $4,277,000,000; France with $3,047,974,777, and Italy with $1,621,338,986. Belguim’s debt is $343,- 445,000, and Russia is charged with $187,729,750. Rumania, Serbia, Greece, Cuba, Czecho-Slovakia and Liberia are the other countries listed on the books of the treasury. MONTH'S DELAY IN EXCHANGING OF U. 8. BONDS Local banks have been advised that because of the government printing office’ at Washington being buried deep with work, the new definitive bonds: for which the first convertive and second four percent U. S. bonds were to have been exchanged March 15 cannot be delivered before April} 15, until which time holders of these issues must wait to receive their perm- unent bonds. Definitive bonds of the third series have been: delivered to local banks, and the original coupon bonds may be exchanged for these permanent bonds March 15, as originally announced. Holders of bonds of the other two ser- ies, however, are urged not to present them until April’15, as no exchange can be effected prior to that time. MARKETS CHICAGO LIVESTOCK .

Fitch. Prac- tically all of the active members, to gether with a number of the associate members, were present, The roll call, way answered by cue- rent events, Mrs. John French -then presented “Immigration and Emigra- tion.” Mrs, Alfred Zuger read a paper on “Immigration Conditions, in our Lo- culity” dealing with the foreign els- ment in. this -vicinity. Mrs. George Wallace dergartens, and Americanization’ stressing. the import- ance of teaching the young~ child American ideals. Following these‘ contributions to the program, the members held round table discussion of the various subjects ¢ ELKS TURN OVER : $1,000 FUND TO yoke on BY-SERVICE MEN Legion Post of This City Is Awarded Fine Gift From Patriotic Lodge ‘The fund, now amounting to approx- imately $1,000, which the Bismarck lodge of Elks raised at a ball giyen at the capitol in-September, 1917, will be turned over to the Bismarck post of the American legion. This action was taken by the Elks at their meet- ing Friday night and is but another link in the chain of patriotic achiev- ments of the “Best People On Earth.” The fund was originally intended for Company A, Company I, and Head- quarters Company which were sta- tioned at Fort Lincoln during the early months of the war. Just after the dance, which was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant and successful war charity events of this city, was held,|' these companies left for mobilization camps and shortly afterwards sailed for France. During the war there were several contributions made from the fund to tl Red Cross and other relief agencies which brought the total down to about $1,000. A. W. Lucas had been treasur- er of the fund and he will probably turn the money over to the legion this menth. Many members of the legion, who are acquainted ‘with the action taken by the “Elks, have expressed them- selves in favor of ‘using this money as a neucleus for a legion’ building fund so that when the time comes for the Bismarck post to build a ‘club- house, the money will be available. The: Elks will probably make formal announcement of .their‘action to the ex-service men at the next; meeting {of the legion, March 18.

Knapp, editor of a league paper at Williston, it developes that about all that happened was the breaking ofa windaw, probably by a pebble thrown up by a passing automobile. That, at least, is the verdict of Williston’ officials who investigated after Knapp caused sensational stor- ies to be published in socialist news- papers of the supposed attempt to murder him. In connection with the window breaking episode, Williston people have been entertaining themselves recently with recounting the story of the row between Editor Knapp and D. I.

GENERAL ADVANCE IN TIRE PRICES CERTAIN A general advance in tire prices at: an early date is predicted by a Bis- marck dealer, who today made the following statement: “It is practically certain a general advance in prices of rubber tires will) be made in the near future. While | prices of crude rubber has shown very | little change over the past year, in-; creased wages and steadily mounting price of cotton materials make higher tire prices inevitable. “Since June, 1919, different, grades of cotton and cotton duck used in manu- facture gf various types of pneumatic | tires have advanced on an average, of from 15 percent to 100 percent. As to the extent of the increase in labor costs, no estimate can be made, but the fact that the big rubber companies have had little or no trouble with strikes and other labor factors is at- tributed to the voluntary wage in- creases they have made right along. “A study of pneumatiotire price ranges of three representative com- ; panies from 1912 to the present re- veals that advance believed imminent will probably put prices higher than | they have been the last eight years. “Due to steadily expanding output and better manufacturing facilities, tire producers, beginning in 1921, made substantial cuts during 1913, 1914, and 1915. Then the war began to have its effect, and for the next three years prices climbed to a point where they were higher than at any time since 1911. “Most rubber companies doing war work were able speedily to get back inte their normal lines of production after the armistice with the result that price reductions ranging from 12 per- cent to 15 percent were annovnce‘l by leading tire-makers in May, 1919. These reductions will, no doubt, be oitset before May, 1920, by an advance {of at least pnt, } ' | { MISS SLATTERY MUCH BETTER Word is received from Minneapolis ! that Miss Fanny Slattery of Bismarck, j who was desperately ill for so many weeks, is now able to leave her bed and is rapidly gaining strength.
