P) ROOSEVELT MEETS — {f “OBSTACLES IN HIS | BOONOMIG EFFORTS France and England Accept Tariff Truce; Proposal With Reservations Washington, May |5.—(?)—New re- Sponsibilities Friday’ were added to the world economic: leadership as- sumed by President) Roosevelt. Im- portant international obstacles bobbed up; the parade of foreign diplomats to Washington stepped at a livelier Pace. The administration drove ahead with its plan for a world tariff truce between now and the concening of the London economic conference June 12, the success of which Roosevelt is seeking to ensure. ‘The tariff truce proposal was one of the points in the discussions Friday with Italian and Argentine envoys. It will figure in the conversations with the German spokesman who ar- rives during the day to present his country's viewpoint. ‘Whether or not because of fear that the dollar may decline considerably under the administration's inflation policy, France has made its approval of such truce upon conditions and Great Britain likewise gave its ac- ceptance with reservations. ‘The fourth of the big European na- tions to be represented here was to make its appearance Friday with the arrival of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, presi- dent of the Reichsbank. The finance ministers of China and Mexico are close behind with Japan, Brazil and probably Chile to follow later in the month. With the Italians, headed by Guido Jung, finance minister, the conversa- tions have dwelt for the most part on cooperation for the stabilization of exchange. Discussion of this and other problems of the economic con- ference were to be resumed at the state department and white house Friday. Argentina, its delegation headed by Dr. Thomas A. Le Breton, is under- stood to have sought a trade agree- ment with the United States similar to that recently concluded between Great Britain and Argentina. The South Americans seek a market for their meat in the United States. Former N. D. Banker Succumbs in Gotham New York, May 5—(#)—Irving C. Gaylord, 72, formerly vice president of the Lincoln Trust company, which now is merged with the Chase Nation- al bank, and treasurer of the Am- erican Missionary ‘association, died ‘Thursday in the Agnes Le Roy Mem- rial hospital.

One, almost complete, would allow agriculture and related industries to pass through the barriers. Another has been started which would give the railroads an outlet and there may be one soon for general business and in- dustry. The government, however, intends to lay down definite conditions and to keep strict supervision over the events that take place in the long forbidden domain of “combinations in restraint of trade.” The farm bill, now near enactment, gives the secretary of agriculture wide Power to exempt handlers of the basic commodities from the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust acts. The railroad bill, introduced Thursday, would give the federal coordinator similar pow- ers. President Roosevelt's address before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States indicated » measure may follow to include other business. N. D.

By the 16th century, corner money-changers had given way to an organized banking system, making international deal- ing possible and trade expansion profitable. Ca paper money was being used in a systematic way. As it was more convenient to use small coins of precious metal in trade than great ingots of other metals, so it was easier still to use paper certificates that THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1933 IC - By Willis Thornton grew, nations came to realize that they, rather $1,000 IN CREDIT $ 100 than merchants, must coin and regulat systems of coinage, with silver and gold tending to replace all other metals, date from about the 16th century. money. National There is not enough gold, or perhaps actual coin, Experience showed, however, that credit could be pyramided ‘on as little as 10% of gold as long as the props of public confi- dence kept it from falling over. GOLD Paper money paved the way to the system of pyramided credit ‘on which our modern business civilization is based. It was found by experience that a nation could safely in normal times issue more paper money than it held gold, and a bank more credit than it held of either. (NEXT: Early Colonial Money.)

Others listed different combinations of board members and on 12 the initials of neither Swanson nor Soder appeared, the other members signing alone. Tiedman was not, at that time, a ‘06 | member of the board. ‘McCurdy spent the morning trying to convince Commissioner Abern that these bills proved something or other against Swanson and Soder, but failed ! dismally. After an involved legal deviation by .

Derby testify as to whether the bills had been paid on the ground that it was not the best evidence; | that this could be shown by printed records. Later McCurdy wanted Sullivan to join in an agreed statement that the bills had been paid but was told, “If you're going to mess around with this stuff after the commissioner has held it irrelevant, you are not going to get any cooperation from us.” Attacks Other Officers Eleven bills were offered in evidence Thursday afternoon as having been paid by the county, McCurdy con- tending that they showed “a continu- ing line of conduct” on the part of the county commissioners with intent to favor The Tribune. Sullivan, however, brought out that all of the items purchased were for material not covered by the contract. He pointed out that the contract was for the purchase of specific things at stated prices and that county offic- ers were at liberty to buy items not covered by the contract wherever they could make the best deal “from Bis- marck to the South Sea Islands.” McCurdy contended that the con- tract, by inference, covered every- thing to be bought by the county and that the purchases should have been made from the Quick Print, re- gardless of the amount charged. Among items listed in the bill were such things as carbon sheets, clasp envelopes and transcript sheets for the court reporter. Purchases were made, it was shown, by County Audi- tor Clair G. Derby, then county treas- urer; Court Reporter Clifford Jan- sonius, County Judge I. C. Davies, A. C. Isaminger, then county auditor; Police Court Judge Edward 8. Allen and Sheriff J. L. Kelley. Derby, on the witness stand at the Milnor, N. D., against the Iver John- son Arms and Cycle Works of Fitch- burg, began Thursday before Judge McLellan in federal district court.

PHILLIES RELEASE PAIR Philadelphia, May 5. — (®) — Fred Brickell, outfielder of the Phillies, who had a row with Manager Burt Shotton this week, was released on option Friday to the Kansas City club of the American Association. Infield- er Hugh Willingham was released to the same club, also on option. MONTANA FEELS SHOCK Helena, Mont., May 5—()—A slight earth shock at 11:54 a. m, Thursday was recorded by the weather bureau ‘as having been felt by several persons on the Great Northern railway. time, said he did not remember if the items for his office were tordred by him or by the county audi- tor on his behalf, but that it may have been either way. Defense Raps ‘Evidence’ Sullivan objected to the bills as evi- dence, asserting that “counsel wants you to arrive at a conclusion but of- fers nothing to base it on.” He con- tended that the bills could have noth- ing to do with the question of whether the county commissioners acted in good faith in 1933 in renewing a con- iat or whether that contract was valid. He pointed out that George F. Will, president of the county board in 1931 Part of Soder and Swanson, suspended members of the county commissioners who also were on the board at that time. . Abern said he was inclined to be- lieve that no proper foundation had been laid for offering the bills as evidence but asked that he be given time to look into the question before ruling on the matter. He said he could see no connection between the respondents and “this particular transaction.” State’s Attorney George F. Regis- ter was the first witness at the Thurs- day afternoon session, testifying on opinions given by him to the commis- sion relative to printing contracts in 1931 and 1933, 4 He said that after the commission had passed a resolution to extend a contract with the Bismarck Tribune company, Chairman Soder and others asked if the action were legal, assert- |ing the question had been raised and they wanted to obey the law. Since it would take research and time to prepare an opinion, he said, he advised the commissioners to let the matter rest until May, when he would present his opinion. He sug- gested that, in the meantime, they Pass a resolution holding operation of the contract in abeyance, except for emergency purchases, until that time. He identified a resolution to that ef- fect, adopted by the board, as having’ been prepared by him and asserted its purpose was to prove the good faith of the commissioners and save the county from any possible damage. ‘Will Is Witness Will testified as to events at the March commissioners meeting when & motion to advertise for bids for brinting and supplies was adopted and ut the April meeting when this mo- tion was rescinded and a new one made to extend the contract with The ‘Tribune company at a 10 per-cent-re- duction. McCurdy tried, unsuccessfully, to show that the motion to rescind the contract was made before the offer of @ 10-per-cent reduction was made to the board. He said the discussion among board members centered both on the legality and the economic ad- visability of the move, Soder and Swanson asserting they believed it to Ihe a good deal for the county and Tiedman saying nothing, although Will “assumed” his view was the same. McCurdy tried to show, again in vain, that Soder and Swanson were fully aware of an opinion given by Assistant Attorney General Charles Simon in 1931 in which he held that if, Was necessary to advertise for elec- tion supplies and other printing. Will denied that F. G. Orr and E. J. Conrad of the Quick Print had ap- peared at a commission meeting and told the commissioners they would be removed from office by the governor unless they advertise for bids and said no such remark was made in his pres- ence. Will said he didn’t know if the 1931 contract, which it was proposed to renew on its expiration, was lower than the contract entered into in 1932 after bids had been received.
