Yates ARGUED SUPREME COURT Selfridge Lost Election Upon Face of Returns—Con- test Vote The supreme court of North Dakota has before it today the question of whether a trust patent Indian can vote, The question, which has precipitat- ed a ‘legal battle, was raised in a case involving the election for re- moval of the county seat of Sioux county from the village of Fort Yates to Selfridge. The appellant from the decision of District Judge W. C. Crawford. ‘of the sixth judicial district, is Martin Swift. a taxiayer. of Sioux county.

These’ figures: are official, and are economic 7 it of these countries. It is-clear, therefore, that they can- not give us gold for the things ‘they must have, nor have: they either prod- ucts or securities to offer in’ return for credit. If only they could obtain raw material which these idle millions of theirs could convert into magufae- tured products they would have some- thing to tender the world in return for its raw material, food-and medi- cine. But if they have neither money nor credit how are they to take. this first great step towards redemption? One: half the world may not eat while the other half sturves.

This Is ohe menace at our thresh- old: The other, more threatening, more terrible, is the menace of the world's ill will, We can afford to die, ‘ut to be despised forever as a greedy and pharisaical nation is'a fate that we must not incur, serious problems to solve, but the French peasantry is working and the French artisan, while still sadly in need of raw materials, has ndt lost his habit of industry and thrift. The most encouriging fact about France today is that her people are alive to tle seriousness of France's problem and they are going forward bravely to solve that problem, Italy, despite her great shortage of raw material, is looking forward and not backward. Italy can be relied upon to do her part! Ungland is meeting the problems of reconstruction just as those who knew, her pust should have expected her to meet them. Plan to Aid Central Europe. It is not for me perhaps to give in detail a formulu for solution of the world’s ills, but as I have been asked many times, “What would. you do?” I. am glad to give my own answer. Accordingly, I would! ask: 1.—That congress immediately pass a bil appropriating. a sum not to ex- ceed’ $500,000,000: for the use of cen+ tral and eastern Europe. 2—That congress call upon the president to appoint’ a non-political commission of three: Americans, dis- tinguished for their character and Fexecutive ability and comuinding the | respect of the American people, Such ii commission should. include men. of j the type of General Pershing, Mr. ; Hoover or ex-Secretary Lune, would invest that commission with complete power, 8—I would have the commission’ | instructed to proceed at once, accom: panied’ by ‘proper personnel, to survey conditions: in central and eustern . Europe, and then to act for the restoration of those countries, under such conditions and’ upon’ such rerms as the commission itself may decide tobe practicable and effective. Among the conditions should be provided that there should be no local interference with the free and untrammeled exer- tise’ by the commission of its own prerogative of allocating materials. Governmental politics: should: be elim- inated; unreasonable and prejudicial 'Lirrlers between the various countries should be removed, and such sulistan- tial guarantees as may be available should be exacted in order that the : conditions: imposed’ should’ be fulfilled. 4.—As to financial terms, I should make them liberal. I would c no interest for the: first three for the next three years, six p with provision that such interest might be funded if the economle Con- ditions of the country were not ap- proaching normal, or if its exchange conditions were so adverse as to make payment unduly burdensome. I should make the maturity of the option and fifteen years from its date, should have no doubt as to its final payment. 5.—Immediately the plan was 5. adopted; [would have our government invite other governments in a position | to ages to participate in the under- taking. 6—To set forth completely my opinion, T should add that in the final instructions the’ American’ people, through their government, should say to the commission : “We.want to go and do this job in such a manner as; after study, you think it should be done. This: is no ordinary undertaking. The American people trust you to see that it is done , Tight.” IT would also say to the commis stone so much of thls money as is needed.’ Personally, I am confident that with assistance and ¢o- operation would) come from the which other parts of the world, the sum of 000,000 from the United. States would be more than enough to start these countries on their way to self- support and the restoration of normal conditions, The whole plan, of course, Involves miainy practical’ considerations, the most, serious of which: is that of ob- taining the money, whether by issuing additional Liberty bonds, an increase ‘in the floating debt, or by taxation. But I think we could. properly say to the treasury department: “We know how serious your finan- cial problems’ are; we know the diffi- culties which are immediately con- fronting you; we know the importance of deflation, and we know that the government must economize and that Individuals must economize, but we also Know that the American govern- ment advanced $10,000,000,000 to its allies to’ attain victory and peace: Certainly it is worth making the ad- ditional advance in order to realize the pence for which we have already struggled, for nothing Is more certain than. that until norinal conditions. are "restored in Europe there can be no peace.” Above all things, I would say that whatever ‘action is taken should be taken immediately. The crisis is so acute that the situation does not admit of delay, except’ with the possi- bility of consequences one hardly dares contemplate, The situation: thet I have spread out | here is far beyond the scope of indi- vidual charity. Only by the action of governments, our own and the others whose resources enable them to co- , operate, can aid be given in: sufficient volume, Tam also confident that our action would’ be followed by the gov- ernments of Great Britain, of Holland, of ‘the Scandinavian countries, of Spain and Japan, and that France and Belgium and Italy, notwithstanding all of their losses, would help to thy | best of their ability.
