Its enact- ment would cost nothing and it would never be used unless war is forced ‘upon us. “Those who are misled into believ- ing in disarmament, can well sub- scribe to this principle of universal service as a preventive of war. Cer. tainly, if the government of the Un: ed States could say upon the dec! ration of war, that every element, every resource, capital, labor, trans- Portation and industry, as well manpower, must give equal service, and with profit to none, there would be no avaricious, plain money-grabb- ing, individual or group who would advocate war for the purpose of add- ing to personal bank accounts. Also, with this principle enacted into the basic law of our land, it would be notification to the world that the United States stood solidly united for defense. And no nation, or group of nations, would seek a fight with us when that is established.” Regarding legislation for the dis- abled, he said: “The legislation that the Legion has sponsored is to compensate, not pension, the veterans disabled in their country’s service. Yet there is an element in our nationial life that has been influential because of its wealth, that is classifying the veterans of the wars of the United States, who dis- abled and helpless, received the grati- tude of our government in the form of & meager compensation, as treasury raiders and perpetrators of what they now call a crime.” Stambaugh, Mann in Race As the North Dakota Legionnaires went into their first formal session it appeared that Lynn U. Stambaugh, Fargo, and Fred Mann, Jr., of Devils Lake, were well ahead in popular choice to succeed .W. H. Johnson of Minot as state commander. Lacking any fight for the post of state adjutant, in which Jack Wil- Mams of Fargo holds over, interest of the delegates centers on the comman- dership, the national committeeman post for the state and the choice of 13 delegates to the national convention.

MEET GUY BUSH...star pitcher fer the Chicago Cubst G North Dakota as a first-mortgage holder. Some Loans in Transit In transit are 411 more loans for ® total of $1,008,700. On these the deals have been made and comple- tion is assured. Added to these figures is $376,983.03 received by the Bank of North Da- kota from sales of foreclosed land, bought back by the original owners with land bank money. ‘Thus $6,735,261.55 has been poured into the Bank of North Dakota through the federal farm refinancing operations and 2,864 farm loans have been either cleared from. the books' me ee And about 7,500 other loans are “in the mill” for refinancing with govern- ment money. This is the point where the bank’s operations may be affected by the federal moratorium bill. To see why this is so it is necessary to take a look at the bill itself and the manner in which the Bank of North Dakota has been making use of the refinanc- Program. ‘The bill itself may best be described as a club with which the force his creditors to ment with him. They can their claims to the point federal court believes per cent at the end of the moratorium period. Is Real ‘Encourager’ In signing the bill, President Roose- velt remarked that it would encourage participation in the federal re-financ- ing plan. What he might have said is that it would force such participation, for the penalty of refusal is obvious. ‘The creditor who refuses will get only ‘one per cent for six years and at the W.Jend of that period still faces the possibility of losing everything if it appears that the farmer still cannot Pay out. The result is to put farm machin- ery firms, banks and other creditors on chattel mortgages up against the alternative of taking what they can get now, on a judicially-determined equitable basis, or waiting until they are again in position to attempt to force collection. Meanwhile the farm- e: has the use of machinery, the money or the mortgaged property with the probability that it will de- teriorate in value rather than in- crease. The “encouragement” to set- tle is obvious. The difficulty which the bank may encounter because of the new mora- torium bill is evidenced by the trou- ble it already has had in getting Zarmers to apply for refinancing. In most cases the farmer has cred- itors besides the bank and owes more |p than he can pay. Some have been reluctant to apply for federal loans unless, at the same time, Dj: they can deals with their creditors which will put them in shape to make a new start. Otherwise, they have been con- tent to go along as they are, paying little or nothing on their debts. In very few cases has the land bank been willing to advance enough to clear all indebtedness. At the same time, it sometimes has set forth con- ditions as to what must be cleared before a loan will be granted at all. ‘The result has been to force an ad- justment of claims by creditors and in cases where such adjustments have not been given loans frequently have ‘been held up. May Want to Wait With the moratorium in effect, vantage of its provisions and see what happens. To others be at least a temporary bankruptcy. may be to hamper the Bank of Ni Dakota in its efforts to transfer it land loans to the federal system. Meantime, the Bank of North Da- kota is continuing to foreclose on Past-due loans, despite the guberna- torial moraturium which has been in effect for the last year. These fore- “consistent with the proclamation of the governor of the state of North Dakota.” They are, however, genuine fore- closures although designed to make it easier for the owner to redeem the land should he reach a position to do so. This is done by foreclosing only on the past-due installments. In one case, for example, these total $1,990 and the foreclosure is for that amount, although the bank continues to hold the first-mortgage for $5,000. If, event of his failure to pay amount foreclosed, however, the further action would be needed. Other Banks in Clear The reason local banks other than the Bank of North Dakota are not Particularly concerned with the ope- rations of the moratorium law lies in the character of their business. They haven't loaned on land for years and their holdings include almost no real estate. The barnyard loans, instituted dur- ing the Hoover administration, en- abled them to get a good deal of their Money out of loans secured by chat- tel mortgages and they haven’t gone in for these on any considerable scale since, One reason for this has been the advent of other government loaning agencies, such as the district credit corporations which are loaning money on easier terms or lower interest rates —or both—than the private banks are LY BES After pitching S) InnINgS and then he ysmoked a Camel! clip this year.

If bankers did not do this voluntarily they were forced to it by the bank examiners who check on the condition of a bank's loans. ‘The bankers, both men made clear, long for the return of normal times just as much as the farmer but they doubt thi doption of such measures as the farm moratorium will speed their return. Foresee Court Jam Meantime, general interest was ex- pressed by all concerned as well as by the general public, as to the manner in which the bill will—or can be ad- ministered. The 1930 census showed 74,912 farms reporting. Whether or not the number has increased or nO one can say definitely. Of that number a large part are encumbered by debts and in many cases the debts are heavy. The result of this situa- tion may be an influx of requests for action under the federal moratorium. If 10 per cent apply it will mean more than 7,000 cases for one federal judge to handle. The result would be @ jam of such proportions that the bankruptcy and federal commission- ers working under its jurisdiction. | in honor of Barthou. Barthou in London To Discuss Pacts London, July 9.—(#)—The general Political situation in Europe, includ- the French-sponsored eastern security pacts, were discussed at an opening conference Monday between Louis Barthou, French foreign minis- ter, and Sir John Simon, foreign secretary of Great Britain. Disarmament in all its phases was aired at a luncheon given by Sir John only per- son present not directly with the Anglo-French discussions was Arthur, Henderson, president of the world disarmament conference. An afternoon session, an official an- nouncement said, was to be devoted to naval matters with Francois Pietri, naval minister of France and Sir Bol- ton Eyres-Nonsell, British Lord of the admiralty, and others participating actively with Barthou and Simon. Stanley Baldwin, acting British Prime minister, did not attend Mon- day's conversations but will give a luncheon for Barthou Tuesday. State Supreme Court Upholds Respondents Two respondents involved in a Val- ley City civil conspiracy action Mon- day were victors in state supreme court. The two were Olaf Simenson and the Rusell-Miller Milling company. They had been sued by Lars Wed- wik, former partner in the bakery firm, for damages after he had as- ertedly been locked out of the bakery. The court held the judgment against Wedwik was correct. In its opinion the court said, “the civil action of conspiracy is @ tort action and can- not in general be maintained for in- ducing a third person to break his contract with the plaintiff, the conse- | [i quence at law being cnly a broken contract for which the party to the contract may have his remedy by suing upon it.” Wedwik maintained he had been forced out of the partnership with Simenson, through influence of a rep- resentative of the milling company. Evidence at the trial, according to the court record, showed the bakery had been operated at a loss since the two entered the business upon agreement with the milling concern. BUSINESS TOO GOOD Manitowish, Wis—John Dillinger is too much of a drawing card to suit Emil Wanatka. Emil and his Little Bohemia resort shot onto the frant pages last April when Dillinger and his gang used it as a hideout kept Emil a virtual prisoner two days, and then fled in & hail of bullets as the mob shot it out with officers. “Business here,” Emil said Monday, ‘is too good. I’m kept so busy I'm get- ting tired of it. I want to rest for a year or two.” The Little Bohemia, he said, has seen almost boom days since the Dil- linger episode. Copyright, 1834, B. J.
