The governor said two proclama- tions will be issued. one embargo on amber di which is used primarily for making macaroni and spaghetti, and the oth- er declaring an embargo on hard spring wheat which for flour making is rated as “the best in the world.” Langer said statistics show no sur- plus of spring wheat exists in this country. Govzrnor Langer’s decision to place an embargo on shipments of amber durum and spring wheat from North Dakota was recahed at Grand Fotks * Sunday after numerous conferences with officials of the state mill and members of the Farmers Union and Farm Holiday association. In announcing his decision prior to his departure for Bismarck late in the afternoon the governor said: “This halting of shipments of am- ber durum and spring wheat from North Dakota at a time when the market price is below the cost of production and a tide of rising prices in other lines threatens to engulf the North Dakota farmer, is a mandate from the recent legislature.

This was in keeping with the rec- ommendation of the steering commit- tee, which suggested a suspension of formal sessions until that date, with a meeting of its own body the day before. The conference session was opened lin a scene of extraordinary anima- ‘tion, with the public gallery choked and hundreds unable to gain admis- sion. At the beginning of the session, Arthur Henderson, president of the assemblage, read the disarmament resolution adopted by a peace mass meeting Sunday night which ex- pressed its “earnest desire for a suc- cessful issue of the disarmament con- ference.” The parley chairman then ex- pressed the hope that the conterence would continue unflinchingly until it achieves the first stage in the reduc- tion of armaments.

The prime purpose of the federal Geposit insurance corporation, Olson said, is to restore full. confidence in banks to permit them to better serve the public and advance credit where it is needed.

TOGERMANY'S HOVE Grave View of Threat to Peace Is Shared by All Na- tions, However (By The Associated Press) Chairman Expresses Hope for paperianger from Milnor, N. D., who} This is no time for panic. Such, in brief. was the world-wide reaction Monday to Germany's with- drawal from the League of Nations) jand the disarmament conference andj the international developments which | followed. { A grave view of the resultant sit- ;uation was shared by all. “We are facing the possibility of janother war," cried Senator William | ,E. Borah, Idaho Republican, at Boise. But, added the former chairman of {the senate foreign relations commit- |tee, no single nation is to blame! “It jis the fruit of the policies of many nations.” At Washington, however, Sccretary | of State Cordell Hull placed the; blame for impeding world progress toward disarmament squarely up to the reich. In other quarters the reaction was: | London—Newspapers urged Great} Britain to remain cool, insisting that peace was not necessarily threatened. Urging denunciation of the Locarno peace pact, Lord Beaverbrook re- minded that it bound France under) certain conditions to demand Brit- ish support in military movements against Germany. Paris Is Watchful. Paris—“The situation is grave.” | said a foreign office spokesman, “but a is keeping cool.” Sig- nificantly, Minister of Pensions Ed- get for national defense will not be touched.” Vigorous French support for the) stand of Norman H. Davis, American ambassador-at-large against an ad- journment of the disarmament con- ference, wes announced at the for- eign office. | The comoletion of a disarmament | the German withdrawal from the conference and the League of Ne- tions, was viewed officially as the best | way out of a “serious situation.” | Rome—Some delegates at Geneva/ expressed the opinion Italy might} have known beforehand of Ger- many’s plans to withdraw, but offi- cial sources at Rome affirmed their ‘complete and sincere surprise. “Al- though, unexpected,” said the official news agency, Stefani, “the decisions taken by the German government were learned with greatest calm.” Moscow—Although “not all neigh- bors of the Soviet country are carry- ing on a policy of »” said Vyas- chelsaff Molotoff, ident of the council of commissars, “Russia is bent on continuing negotiations” for “real Tokyo—The Japahese army and navy saw in Germany's stand a “clincher” for contentions for a huge military budget for the next two years, . Budapest—Rumors spread after an cabinet meeting that the country was leaving the League of Nations, but there was no verifica- | scale of fees worked out. The R. F. C., Olson said, stands ready to advance cash wherever j banks can produce sound security. | Olson came here from Sioux Falls, |S. D. He formerly was a national | | bank examiner in this state. | The federal deposit insurance cor- |Poration was established to insure | depositors of protection in case of bank failures. Optional for State Banks Under the set-up, it is compulsory | for national panks to belong but, op-' |tional for state banks. Olson's of- | fice is concerned solely with state banks applying for membership. Impaired capital does not necessar- ily make banks ineligible for mem- bership, he said. Where a bank can satisfy examiners that it has suffi- cient sound assets to offset deposit Uabilities, it is eligible for member- ship. The bank applies for membership in the deposit corporation at Wash- ington. Olson then receives! instruc- tions from Washington to examine the applying banks to determine their eligibility. Thirteen examiners and three as- sistant examiners have been assigned to Olson's office to do this work. One-half of one per cent of the bank's deposits (the total 30 days prior to membership being used) is the fee for the bank’s admittance to the corporation. One-half of this fee is payable at once, the remaining half being subject to call. This fee carries the bank’s membership until July 1, 1934, when a permanent or- ganization will be set up and a new Banks which do not have capital of $25,000 or more and cannot qualify for the federal reserve system on July 1, 1936, automatically will become in- eligible for membership at that time, Olson said. Guarantees Up, to $2,500 Up to July 1, 1934,'the corporation will guarantee to each depositor in member banks up to $2,500 in case his bank fails. A graduated scale of guarantees will become effective on that date. This provides payment of the first $10,000 in full to each depositor; 75 per cent of the next $40,000; and 50 per cent of the balance up to $150,000 to each depositor. The corporation contemplates no receiverships in cases of failure. Either the corporation will pay off depositors or take over assets of the closed bank for establishment of a new bank. Applications from North Dakota banks at present are being retarded because of seasonal work in the insti- tutions. At this time, Olson said. banks are making extra efforts at col- lections and getting their paper in shape. Wher this work is cleaned up, Clson expects applications to accele- rate. The state has 149 state banks. Regarding the R. F. C. loans to banks, Olson said North Dakota sta- tutes do not permit state banks to is- sue preferred stock; so capital deben- ture notes are being accepted by the R. F. C. as security for all advances made. Examinations Are Free Examination of applying banks is made without cost to the applicant. Examiners under Olson are William L. Briley of Ellendale; J. W. Chap- man of Larimore; Paul Elliott, C. A. Lowen, A. A. Swanson and A. A. Wileken of Fargo; C. R. Hodge of Jamestown; R. Kneeland of t. Oswald Melgard of of Grand Forks and H. R. Winter of 4 o—__— ' Montana | Great Inland Sea | | o———- rgo Will Have Glasgow, Mont., Octo. 16.—(7) —A vast inland sea, larger even than the great Salt Lake of Utah may be created within a year in a broad northeastern Montana valley for irrigation and control of the turbulent “Big Muddy” Missouri river. When finally harnessed behind the massive Fort Peck dam, a dream of years evolved into real- ity by federal subsidy, the great waterway is expected to share its benefits from extreme northern Montana to potential pots-o¥-call in the central midwest. Within a fortnight preliminary operations are to be launched on the enterprise, which in the end may supply water to more than 100,000 acres of land and open a channel for steamer traffic from Kansas City northward. For northeastern Montana and northern Dakota the Fort Peck dam will provide a reservoir for an irrigation area extending from the mouth of the Musselshell river in Montana; to well below Williston, N. D., with more than 100,000 acres of the richest allu- vial river bottom soil in the west defying the ravages of drought. SECRETARY IGKES OF INDIAN ASYLUM Action Follows Charges Pre- ferred by Commissioner of Redmen’s Affairs Washington, Oct. 16.—(?)—Secre- tary Ickes Monday dismissed Doctor Harry R. Hummer, superintendent of the insane asylum at Canton, 8. D., as @ result of charges preferred by John Collier, commissioner of Indian affairs. © Hummer had been given five days to answer charges based on a report of conditions at the asylum by Doc- tor Samuel A. Silk, medical director of St. Elizabeth’s hospital here. The answer was found “unsatisfac- tory.” The charges by Collier included one that a score of “sane” Indians had been detained in the institution for some time; that conditions of sani- tation were “unbelievably bad,” that the plant and equipment of the asy- jum were antiquated and inadequate and that “patients are neglected and cruelly treated.” OFFICIAL SAYS POLITICS FORM BASIS FOR CHARGE Canton, 8. D., Oct. 16.—(#)—Dr. H. R. Hummer, director of the federal asylum for Indians here, Monday denied charges from Washington against his institution. The federal interior department charged in Washington that “perfect- ly sane Indians” are confined in the asylum and that conditions in the local institution were “sickening” and “intolerable.” The accusations were made after’ an investigation by Dr. S. A. Silk of Washington. “Lies, all lies,” said Dr. Hummer, waving a newspaper containing an account of the interior department's statement. “Anybody can come here end see conditions for themselves. We nave nothing to hide. In fact, we want to get this thing in the open and see what's behind it.” Dr. Hummer intimated “politics” was the reason for the charges, which he said constituted an attempt to ‘get” him. He added he was consid- ering asking a congressional investi- gation.
