Benefits of River Project MORGENTHAU FINDS | "NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IN DEBT ACT Secretary of Treasury Discusses Farm Moratorium at World’s Fair DEFENDS BILL’S PURPOSE Declares No Reason Why Farm- er Should Not Have Bank- Chicago, July 3—(#)—Henry Mor- genthau, Jr., secretary of the treas- tler | ury, was an unheralded visitor at the world’s fair Mor.day but the fault was not with fair officials—he sneaked in to dvoid the fanfare. During the afternoon, Morgenthau found time for a private conference with 12 leading business men of the city in the office of President Eugene M. Stevens of the Federal Reserve Bank. He found the afternoon so profitable that he plans to visit other federal.reserve districts and do like- wise when a month’s vacation in Montana has passed. The only subject of these confer- ences on which any light was given by the secretary was the Frazier- Lemke farm mortgage bill. These talks were in confidence, Morgenthau said, “but I can say what. my own opinion is on this subject, as expressed to these men. My opinion is that after business men and insur- ‘ance companies really digest the bill, which they have not yet done, they will feel that it is nothing to worry about. iH “I am among those who recommed- ed to the president that he sign the bill. Business men who may or may not be affected ought to study it very carefully and realize that it is a con- structive piece of legislation. Farmers Deserve Protection “There has been bankruptcy legis- lation for municipalities and there has been bankruptcy for corporations end for railroads. There is no reason why the farmer should not get as much, “Personally, while I was in farm credit work, I came face to face with farm foreclosures. I never had a more difficult task in my life than in fac- ing those thousands and thousands of tarmers about to lose their homes. “I doubt that many farmers will take advantage of this bill, but it is still there, as a last resort, to protect them from losing their homes and to give them a breathing spell. “My own opinion is that in the long run the insurance companies will find themselves back in the lending field on farm mortgages, the way they sould be, and that this will be in the not too distant future.” In New York Tuesday, however, a decline in federal land bank bonds in ‘Wall Street followed upon the signing of the Frazier-Lemke bill by Presi- dent Roosevelt. Losses of the various issues traded in the Over-the-Counter market av- eraged about a point at the close. Liquidation was not heavy but bids were lowered by prospective buyers.

Shortly before the court convened Monday and in a surprise move back. ing a demand for a writ of mandamus, Lieutenant Governor Ole Olson, claim- ant to the governor's chair, announced appointment by him of Walter E Stitzel, Bismarck, as highway com. missioner. Langer ordered a guard reinstated at the door of his executive offices at the capitol, as the new attack was begun against him. The guard had been removed over the week-end. After several hours of listening to arguments, the full bench of five supreme court judges ordered the hearing on the petition continued until July 12 at 10 a. m., when both the merits of the actions and the ques- tion of jurisdiction will be argued at length. The day's developments were: Appointment by Olson of Stitzel as highway commissioner to act temp- orarily—“so that employment and road work will not be delayed.” Claims by Olson and his supporters that a vacancy exists in the office of both highway commissioner and governor.

In a statement announcing appoint- ment of Stitzel, Olson said: “I have made the appointment on the ad- vice of Mr. Puller, who considers that. the legal entanglements in the high- way department which have grown out of the vacancy in hig; way com. missioner make it imperative that someone be at once authorized to execute construction contracts now Pending for more than $500,000 so that employment an” road work not be delayed longer than the time the court needs to decide these legal matters.” Stitzel, in accepting the appoint- ment explained: “I am accepting ap- Pointing as an accommodation to my friend Gov.
