About 100 cases involving $64,237,000, exclusive of the Chemical Foundation suit at Wilmington, Del., now are pending in the courts, with 4 indictments already returned. Pioneer work in the war frauds section has been accomplished, the report said, although much time to bring the cases to conclusion will be required.

D., Dec. 6.—The farmer is asking neither, for a handout nor for “easy money” and he is asking for nothing from the government ex- cept that it help him to help him- self, Carl Vrooman told the pro posal men in the keynote speech be- fore the Democratic State Conven- tion here today. “The farmer intends to work out his own salvation, but he realizes that he, like every other good citi- zen is entitled to the government’ assistance in so doing, that govei ments were, created for the benefit of all their citizens—even the f mer—and that the only limit that should be set to the amount of ‘as- sistance that the government should give the Zrmer, or any other class, is the limit automatically reached when the government dttempts to en- tich one class at the expense of the others,” Mr, Vrooman said. “As a matter of fact the farmer is about the only class that does not ask the government to go beyond this limit.

However, the grounds for violent demonstra- tions against officialdom are so valid that the extremists have the sym- pathy, if not the actual support, of men and women of nearly all classes. Charges that the demonstrations have had much encouragement from Moscow have not done much to séft- en the bitterness of the German pub- lies toward the central government. The fact remains that Germany had an-excellent crop this ye There are more than enough potatoes for the German public. Germany had a bumper .crop of grain.
