WORLD COURT AN AGENCY OF WAR, NYESAYS Junior Senator and Tax Com- missioner Address Good Sized Audience “The United States has never be- fore in its his! ous a step the worls court,” said Senator G good sized uditorium in “IT am_ for “and will do everything possible to’ secure peace, but Tam convinced that the world court is an agency for war.” Two of the reasons which led him to this he said, were the over- ing defeat of Senator Moses’ resolution which provided that in case the nations entered another war the United States would’ not be com- pelled to participate, and the defeat of Senator Reed's resolution incor- porating into the world court the Monroe doctrine. “The world court is simply a: col- lection agency for the international bankers,” said. Ny: ‘e have gone along for 140 without med- dling in the affairs of other nations and should continue to do so. The psychology of our nation is differ- ent than at of the nations of Europe. We want peace while the European nations are striving to bring on conditions looking toward in order to. gain wealth and territory. The Mellon Tax Reduction Referring to the Mellon ta tion bill, which he claimed did little for the masses of the people but was a law to benefit the millionaire, Nye said: “Basing figures upon the tax re- » the surtax reductions in the new bill brought savings to ten people in North Dakota, and the reductions in income taxes brought to North Dakota as a whole—all of the people of the state, mind you— savings that amount to very nearly one-twentieth of the savings enjoyed under the same bill by John Rockefeller, Jr. alone. In other words, Rockefeller saves twenty times more under the 1926 tax bill than do all the people of North D: kota combined. By this tax legisla- tion congress added to the weight upon the economic scales whi the farmer has been trying so long to overcome. It provides great reduc- tions in taxes to those who can best afford to pay taxes and causes the masses of the people to pay a great- er proportion of the whole tax to be collected than was the case under the old bill. “Then there was another matter which must be disposed of before farm pioblems could be considered,” said Nye, taking up the debt settle ments. “There were European na- tions owing the United States jions of dollars. Among them was Italy, owing usa little more than two billion dollars, and wanting to bor- ‘row more, not from our govern ment, but from the’ in! tional banking crowd, which was already louned to Europe. Italy had to have more money to prepare for the next war, but the bankers advised Italy that they would loan them no money until they ‘made some sort of a settle- ment to reduce their liabilities. So, with the aid of those bankers Italy scurried about and got the agents of the government of the United States to consent to a settlement. The ugreement reached between Italy and our Debt Funding comm called for the exchange of prom’ notes, which cal for two billion, or more from Italy for another prom issory note from Italy to us, an agreement to pay in 62 years less than one-fourth of what the old notes called for. Thereupon the House of Morgan loaned Italy another hun- dred million dollars at 6 or 7 per cent interest. It should be understood that the House of Morgan made no such one-for-fout-dollar settlement for the billions it has loaned Europe, including Italy. Any settlement which these international bankers have made call for the dollar-for- dollar-plus-interest kind of sett! ment.” Asks United Support Nye spoke briefly concerning the Gooding long and short haul bill, the Woodlock appointment, and other recent actions in congress. He asked the united support of the people for the Sorlie administration and the maintenance of the state industries. “If the present attitude of congress on farm relief and other issues of vital importance to the middle west- ern states is continued,” he said, “the only solution is. for those states to start something on their own ini- tlative North Dakota has already done. North Dakota is now doing for itself what the other states want congress to do for them. In closing, Nye said: “We need more men fh congress who will vote their own minds and not follow aj hip contrary to] Ne Spann’ peace, ( H. H.

The ‘secretary does not relish be- ing brought into the controversy rag- ing abdut this question at the cap- itol, and he still has under consid- eration what he ought to do about the request of house farm leaders to render an opinion.” He fears he will not be able to outline any construc- tive Program at the present time.

FAVORS BRITISH BUT NOT THE AMERICAN INTERESPS Washington, June 10.—(#)—Carty- ard His fight against the Haugen corn belt plan of farm relief Senator Fess, Republican, Ohio, has added to his list of objec- tions the charge that it is favorable to British but not to American in- terests. Meanwhile, supporters and oppon- ents of the plan are awaiting with interest an opinion by Secretary Mel- Jon on the economic phases of the equalization fee principle as a means of solving the crop surplus problem. It has the endorsement of Vice Presi- dent Dawes through his approval of an opinion favoring 4t by Sir Josiah Stamp, famous British economist, and the treasury secretary was asked several days ago bya group of its ~ supporters to give his views. An un- pression gained yesterday was that he'would hold it to be unsound. “It is eusy to understand why a great economist of Great Britain should endorse this plan, Senator Fess told the senate. “Great Britain believes in free trade and I don’t blame Sir Josiah.” He charged that, if enacted, the McNary measure now before the sen- ietize the great agri- cultural industry” in America and assure Great Britain a cheap food supply, transferring that nation’? unemployment problem to the Unit- ed States. “It would feed at a lower cost than rican workers, the producers of icles which come into competition with American products,” he said. : THREE BADLY HURT IN RIOT AT REVIVAL Evangelist and Two Alleged Klansmen in Hospital—3 Disturbers Jailed Hartford City, Ind., June 10.—W)— Lewis J.
