H. Powell and unsigned articles ap- pearing in anti-League papers in - Minnesota quote Fred Brown, chief national bank examiner of the ninth federal reserve district, with headquarters at Minne- apolis, as stating that the Nonparti- san league was responsible for bank failures in North Dakota. Mr. Brown was quoted by Powell in | Iowa papers as saying: “They (the closed banks) are state banks, organized with small capital under the loose code of banking laws which came into existence under the Nonpartisan league’s sway in North Dakota. If they had been conducted under the laws that govern the na- “tional banks and the federal reserve system they would not have been per- mitted to get into the condition - that has made their suspension necessary. The situation simply is that which every sane observer predicted would result from North Dakota’s spree of socialism under Townley, and that is all there is to the story.” The Leader felt certain that Mr. Brown did not make the remarks quoted, because they were such pal- pable misstatements of fact. In the first place, country banks are closing in many states other than North Da- kota. In the second place the closed banks, in North Dakota and other -states as well, are not all state banks, but both national banks and state Finally, North Dakota bank- ers, despite their hostility _to the League, recognize that the Nonparti- ' san league administration bears no responsibility for the banks closing and a majority of the bankers admit that the Bank of North Dakota, estab- lished under the Nonpartisan league administration, might have prevented a number of the suspensions if it had not been crippled by the ill-advised initiative bilk i) P BROWN REPUDIATES FAKED “INTERVIEW” The editor of the Nonpartisan Lead- er therefore wroteé Mr. Brown, ask- ing if he were quoted correctly. Un- der date of December 11 Mr. Brown replied as follows: ; The Nonpartisan Leader, Box 2075, Minneapolis, Minn. Gentlemen: In reply to your query regarding an alleged interview you are advised that no interviews have been given or statements authorized and it is not the province of this office to ‘give out information or make state- ments for publication. Therefore no responsibility can be accepted for statements by the press or others, Respeetfull"jr, FRED BROWN, ‘Chigf Examiner, This reply by Mr. Brown brands as liars and fakers all newspapers that have been quoting the federal bank : : examiner as authority for their far- fetched statements that the Nonparti- san league had anything to do with the North Dakota bank suspensions. So convinced are the bankers of North Dakota that the state adminis- tration and the state industrial pro-. ‘gram have had nothing to do with the suspension of country banks that they have ‘adopted resolutions providing for co-operation with the state bank examiner to prevent further bank sus- pensions and have indorsed and will -aid the sale of state bonds to support A PAGE NINE ; o ADVERTISEMENTS .- i 1,1 “v hill ° anr el ® The Contributions of Science The greatest material bene- - fits the world has received have come from the labora- tories of the scientists.
