ESTABLISHED 1873 xk xk *& xk * * Edward Lands in France As Brother Becomes King George V: No Time for Parsimony (An Editorial) This newspaper, along with others, has noted with satisfaction the improvement ‘in. business throughout the nation as a whole. It rejoices in the development of this trend, looks forward to the time when this area can fully share in it. But it cannot overlook the fact that, because condi- tions in the nation generally are improving, the tendency of the government at Washington is to ignore the very real troubles which still beset the people in the drouth area. We have been the victims of a natural calamity and no matter what we do there will be no farm production in this area until another crop year comes around. Until then we shall continue to be largely dependent upon the government for assistance. The state can help, but only as the govern- ment helps, for in this situation most of the money com- ing into the state's coffers originates in the federal treas- ury. The fact that conditions are better throughout the nation’ is all the more reason why Uncle Sam should not grow overly parsimonious now, as he seems to be doing. North Dakota families must eat, wear clothes and buy fuel in'the winter of 1986-87 just as they did in that other drouth year of 1984-85, There is less reason to establish a low standard of relief now than there was then. The im- proved outlook should cause greater generosity, if any- thing. On this basis the North Dakota delegation in congress should begin now an agitation to get for the various fed- eral agencies now serving the people of this state addi- tional appropriations AS SOON AS CONGRESS MEETS. That they join with other drouth state delegations in doing so is imperative. Every citizen should make it his business to inform them of the need, if they are not al- Teady aware of it. Only by pursuing that course and by encouraging the legislature to take a factual view of the situation can we hope to get through the winter without extensive human suffering and severe loss of the assets which we need to resume production next spring.

In such event, however, the farmers would be wiped out and would move into town and apply for relief there. A review of the situation showed that the government already has Poured more than $2,000,000 into this state in feed loans since last July and estimates as to the amount nec- essary to carry foundation livestock through the winter run Som $4,000,- ‘000 to’ $5,000,080: ‘The sttuation is of prime interest to all businessmen, it was agreed, since failure of farmers to carry through the winter the few head of livestock they are trying to save as “seed” will mean ruination of the ag- ricultural. industry in this region. It already is at rock bottom. One of the efforts being made Sat- urday was to straighten out an ap- parent misunderstanding between the Resettlement administration and the Production Credit association which are in the farm loaning business. Security Exhausted The Resettlement administration insists it was told the PCA would care for the needs of its present clients, but Larson made it clear it could not go any further since in- creasing the amounts loaned would endanger the solvency of these insti- tutions unless more security were available. And in practically every case the farmers already have given all the security available. ‘The group of businessmen agreed that it would be impossible to paint the picture any blacker than it really is, but Gov. Walter Welford, who also is interested in the situation, said he thought there is a slight tendency to exaggerate, although conditions are admittedly critical. A large delegation of McKenzie county farmers was at the capitol Friday demanding help but Welford said a check-up showed only about 220 farmers there who are facing an immediately criti¢al situation. The welfare board may have a par- tial answer when its officials get back from Washington, he said, and he also looks for improvement in the governmental attitude as soon as President Roosevelt returns to Wash- fagton. He said he “cannot think the president will go back on us.” NEWSPAPER LEAVES PUBLISHERS’ GROUP Association's ‘Unfairness’ To- wards Guild Cited as Main Reason CHIANG KAI-SHEK waited on a siding to take an “im- Rebel Battalions Surge For- ward on Two Different Fronts in Suburbs Madrid, Dec. 12.—(4)—Ten persons | rebel were killed Saturday and at least a score wounded as Insurgent batteries threw round after round of shrapnel into the center of the Spanish capital. The government ordered out its militia reseryes to stem a double-edged Insurgent thrust at the Spanish cap: ital’s defenses. While Fascist battalions struck from the northeast and the west, a Socialist communique listed import- ant victories far to the north in As- turias province on the bay of Biscay. A new offensive, the government. said, captured several towns and car- ried the Socialist forces against the Insurgent stronghold of Oviedo, al- most surrounding the city. Reinforcements were rushed from er; the capital to the Guadalajara sector where Gen. Francisco Franco's Fascist troops launched an attack to smash their way into the capital from the northeast. At the same time the Insurgents launched wave after wave of infantry men against the government en- trenchments on the western edge of the city. For five weeks the Fascist com- mander in chief has pressed Madrid’s defenders, bolstering his effort to smash into the capital. His lagging attack, newspapers said, was doomed to failure unless he re- ceives reinforcements. Fargo Man Elected Director of Utility New York, Dec. 12.—(#)—Robert F.
