COOLIDGE’S PLAN President Calvin Coolidge has on more than one occasion shown a firm resistance to schemes designed to lead the i" government into the pitfalls of industrial experiments and extravagant class legislation. At the same time the Pres- ident has not hesitated to urge the full force of the govern- ment be exercised in meeting emergencies of its citizens. “The economic situation in certain wheat growing sec- tions of the Northwest is reaching an: acute stage that re- quires organized cooperation on the part of the Federal government and the local institutions of that territory, for its solution,” the President said. He urged these steps be taken: Refunding of past due indebtedness of the farmer in the territories most seriously affected. Financial assistance through a federal agency to enable wheat farmers to change from .a single crop to diversified farming. Restoration where it would be helpful of impaired capital of banking institutions. Creation of a financing corporation to assist in the plan of reorganization. The extension of time during which the War Finance corporation can make loans. . The President made it plain that he was not presenting an all-comprehensive plan for the Northwest, but pointed out means by which he belives emergency relief may be granted. . He urged refunding of past-due indebtedne: Some agencies, including many eastern loan agencies which are able to carry the load and have not required faith in North Dakota, are not pressing obligations, but instead are extend- ing them as far as possible. North Dakotans have no lack of faith in the future of their state. Any agency that is able to refund indebtedness may not only aid the state but likely will profit in the long run. The President endorsed the Coulter $50,000,000 loan bill to enable farmers to diversify their farming. It is an emergency measure. If it were right for the federal govern- ment to make seed loans in the Northwest it is right that the proposed loan be made, if it will be effective. Published letters of numerous farmers in the state, declaring their intention to stick to the land and to further diversify if the loan bill passes, is evidence of the possible effectiveness of the measure. It is probably not as unpopular with the farm- ers as some agitators would have the people believe, though it does smack of an extension of credit which has been harm- ful in the past. Measures were directed to sustain banks which are sound but which have had their reserves or capital depleted. This relief is directed more to South Dakota and Iowa than to North Dakota and Montana, for in the former states it is the large institutions which have failed while in the latter two, for the most part, the banks have been small country ! banks which ought never to have been permitted to open, and the majority of which could not be resuscitated to the benefit of themselves or the people of the state. The far- reaching effort of impairment of large banks in the states to the south is ample warrant for the President directing | assistance to them. | To some in North Dakota, who have seen more acute conditions than prevail at present, to those who know that North Dakota passed the peak of her financial depression and difficulties a year ago and is slowly on the mend, it may appear that the President is unduly exercised over the economic conditions. Nevertheless there is comfort for the| business men and farmers in the state of North Dakota in the President’s message, for the President sees a situation which he believes the government may help remedy and he does not hesitate to put the full force of his great office and personal influence into a plan for prompt aid. | | PRECARIOUS BUSINESS A firm in Pawtucket, R. I., used to have many jobs, run-| ning 800 braiding machines. A strip of braid was necessary | ‘on long skirts. Short skirts now, and the firm goes into the hands of a receiver. The most uncertain business in the world is the manu- | facture of garments for women. That’s one reason why | women’s garments cost so much. Women—or, rather fathers and husbands—pay a tremendous price for “style.” -A change in fashion, of course, usually comes as a carefully propagandized scheme to sell clothes. So, where one firm loses, others gain. | MORTGAGING FUTURE _ Brokers figure that 3603 million dollars worth of new | bonds, notes and stocks were issued in the United States | during 1923. fa i .

Editorial Review | o o VIRGIN ISLAND'S DILE | Heretofore appointment of ne- groes to office has not been the entire success it might have been. | Generally the trouble was with| the appointer rather than the ap-} pointees. Regrettably, the tend-| ency has been to repay political debts to negro leaders without re-| A gard to geography—by giving them | ; office in communities which re- sented the appointments. Which, in a government by, of and for the people is obviously not only stupid, but vicious. So we can ‘but applaud the act of Secretary of Labor Davis, who, when searching about for some- body to go to the Virgin islands to find out what's wrong down there, named a commission composed en- tirely of colored educators, law- yers and business men. The population of the Virgin islands is almost entirely colored. so Sec. Davis’ commission would strangely appropriate in this era of squeezing square pegs into round holes. But why not go a step further? A few months ago, dealing with this same subject, we pointed out the political unrest existing in the Virgin islands over “navy rule.” America’s only material interest $325,000 a year on them—is be- cause of their possible value as a Naval base. St. Thomas offers a good port—though some naval critics say there ig not too mucn fresh water—for ships of the American navy. ! Why not fence off a short gov- ernment reservoir down there, and give the rest of the territory over to a civil government under Pictures, Inc.

Claver- ‘ing, a newspaper columnist, and his cousin, Dinwiddie, are particu- larly interested, Dinwiddie declar- ing that she is the image of Mary Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago, who had married a Count Zattiany and lived abroad. He is convinced this ts Mary’e daughter, but all efforts to establish her identity prove futile.

Dear Sir: I have meditated a long time before I have come to the conclusion that I should write you a letter, Your heart-broken mother showed me the terrible missive you sent her, and after reading it, if you had said nothing about me, I would still say to you that nothing could make it possible for me to link my life with yours. In my, sheltered life I had not dreamed that it was really true that any male creature could be so cruel. I cannot understand why you have mistaken the sweet regard and gen- tle friendship between myself and your mother as a bid for your favor. Perhaps you will not believe me when I tell you I cannet conceive that such an unfilial human being could live. , Your mother at the present mo- ment is under the care of a doctor. She has not stopped weeping since she received your letter. She moaps and cries all the time, i I am not writing this to elicit any you. I am only stat- ing a fact.
