S. ‘Washington, Nov. 23.—(?)—Clashing viewpoints within the government and outside emphasized Friday the pros- pect of momentous struggles in which the winners will be decided by Presi- dent Roosevelt, by congress, and per- haps by the direction of the business curve. For the moment at least, housing 4s the rock on which waves of opinion break most sharply. Secretary Ickes, PWA chief, has just outlined the pos- sibilities of a housing-for-recovery campaign which, in several respects, is strikingly different from the drive being conducted by James A. Moffett, housing administrator. Ickes, speaking of potentialities and not of a sure thing, indicated his be- lief that PWA could hasten employ- ment and help exorcise the mortgage bugaboo by pouring out large sums ‘on new and inexpensive houses. He spoke of long-term contracts directly between the government and the home owners, with interest of 3 per cent. Many spokesmen for business and banking oppose the idea of the gov- ernment's taking such a direct part in housing. Rallying leaders of such or- ganizations as the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States behind him, Moffett is pressing the campaign jn which new homes are built with money furnished by private agencies. The government merely sets the basic maximum interest rate at 5 per cent, and arranges insurance on mortgages up to 80 per cent of assessed values, Favor Private Agencies Such men as Moffett and Henry I. Harriman, president of the Chamber of Commerce, picture such a drive as one bellwether to lead the nation out of the economic morass, just as automobiles led the way out of an- other depression. Ickes raised the question how quickly and how effectively private business would take hold in this field. While PWA would welcome large in- vestments of private capital in hous- ing, he said, there is no evidence of such a trend. Ickes expressed the opinion the gov- eT ‘ Weather Report | ———___——___—_- o—. FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight sisted little change in temper- MILD. ature.

C ONTINUE D from page one! Soviet Offer of Alliance Against Hitler Reported that of last year, but there was no emergency appropriation then, Last year’s war budget was 5,974,188,000 francs (at that time approximately $358,000,000). Navy and air budgets are separate matters from that of war. The budget reporter informed par- liament that Russia had offered France its huge army in the event of conflict with Germany, although government officials termed his de- scription of the circumstances as “exaggerated.” “Russia hag @ strong and well- equipped army which she offers us in case of conflict with Germany,” stated Archimbaud, adding, “if Reichs- fuehrer Hitler of Germany does not observe the (Versailles) treaty. “Russia gave us the first warning and an understanding is arranged between us.” Only Means of Peace He pictured Russia's huge mili- tary machine working with France as “the only means” of maintaining the Peace of Europe. Col. Jean Fabry, former minister of war, asserted that France’s knowledge of Germany’s rearmament, the details of German troops, and information regarding the secret manufacture of arms and airplanes in Germany came from Russia. Archimbaud said he regretted that “twenty years after the war we are obliged to go back to the old system of European ‘equilibrium’ but a well- defined union with Russia alone can stabilize Europe and assure peace.” Louis Germain-Martin, minister finance, told how Marshal Petain, former minister of war, had sought to avoid the necessity for France's two-year military service by spending more money on armaments and swelling the army’s ranks by volun- tary re-enlistment. Archimbaud said that some army chiefs had impeded re-enlistments, which Deputy Chouffet suggested, because they sought to make in- creased compulsory service tive. ‘The huge steel and concrete net- work of forts facing the Rhine, said Deputy Andre Beaugitte, “cost four billion francs but are useless unless they are defended.” He said that one fort, which needed at least 500 men, was manned by four men and a cor- 100,000 Troops on Rhine He told the chamber of deputies that Germany was supposed to have 100,000 troops concentrated just across the Rhine. “If these 100,000 were thrown without warning against our fortifications,” he declared, “they would break through.” special automobile highways are built up to the Rhine and five new bridges have been constructed.” He said that the one-year service Period must be increased unless re- enlistment brought enough trained men to form the framework of a wartime army. “War material,” declared Colonel Fabry, “can be had with money but there must be men. France must love its army and it wants a strong army. The ust be the beloved child of the nation.” Shortly after the statement of Archimbaud, government officials cast doubt on the supposed Franco- Russian “understanding” for military operations in the event of war with Germany. The relations with Russia steadily have grown closer, it was said, but it 20| ¥8S added that “there are no military Bismarck, N. D., clear ..

Kohnen Congratulates Hosts Pointing out that Thursday night’s meeting was the largest in the his- tory of Lions clubs in North Dakota with the exception of a district con- vention, Kohnen congratulated the host club on its activity and interest in making the occasion successful. Hascall said Lions International is) the largest civic organization on the American continent and that its growth is directly traceable to the need for such 1 to assume civic responsibility. “We have been forced to the con- clusion that we are our brother's keeper, whether we like it or not,” he asserted, and declared that Lions clubs have been important factors in maintaining the morale of their com- munities and services essential to members to get more joy out of life, Hascall said many persons might be termed the walking dead, that their hearts shrivel up and their spirits succumb\long before the date which finally inscribed on their tomb- stone, a ‘The spark many such persons lack, he said, is knowledge of the joy which one gets from giving of himself and of his possessions to make the world @ better place in which to work, play and rear a family. The killing in- fluence {s an unbridled selfishness which gets no pleasure from doing good for humanity. For the last six years, the speaker said, many Americans have ignored the fundamentals of life, have active- ly engaged in trying to get something for nothing. They have missed the fact that the more one gives the more one has left and that the joys of un- selfish service are free to everyone. Lions clubs everywhere, he said, have shown the capacity to dream and then to work in order that those dreams may come true.
