FACE RUIN SAYS

N. D. Seed Bond law Should
be Repealed, says Presi-
dent Quamme.
Banks Refusal, Says Dan
Brennan, Neit!!--l Polite
Nor Patriotic.

st. Paul, Mimi, March Farm
ers of North Dakota face ruin unless
the seed bond law recently passed by
the .Nonpartisan legislature is repeal
ed or modified, President E.. G.
Quamme of the st. Paul Federal Land
bank declared yesterday.
THE legislature by this act. un-
Questionably done unwtttingly, have
made themselves the worst enemy of
the North Dakota farmer" President
Quamme said. Such a law should
never have been passed and would
not have e mad there been real
statesmen in the legislature"
The farmers are greatly alarmed as
they face the possibility Of being un-
able to obtain financial support from
the land bank because of, the opera
ton Of the seed bond law, Mi. Guam
me said.
He admitted the st. Paul bank is
not making any new loans in North
Dakota, and has not since the seed
law became effective. He suggested
an extra session Of the legislature to
annul the law may be the solutions
THE matter which comes up In
North Dakota may or may not be
serious, according to the final con-
struction which will be placed upon
the law by the attorney generals de-
partment at Washington or the
courts" said Mr.. Quamme.
1.-THE federal land banks can make
only loans which are first liens on the
farms Of the applicant. If the new
law in North Dakota prevents mort
cages now placed upon the farms in
that state from being first mortgage
liens, it would automatically stop our
service in that state, as long as this
condition exists. "
'@g'hiis would present a rather SER
ious. situation because the people of
North Dakota need. the service which
the federal land bank of st. Paul can
render and should have it.
If the law is such that it will force
the federal land bank system to with
draw from the state, it also will force
many Of the larger and more con-
sentative mortgage companies. in
surance companies and trust compa-
MES to withdraw from the state for
the same reason. To sell their mort
cages to clients in the east. they must
assure the investor their mortgage is
a first lien on the land; otherwise they
would be deceiving the investing ",'b-

CONSCRTPTION FIGHT
LOOMS in VICTORIA
Member of Ministerial Party
in Australia Wants Gov
ernment to Act

Melbourne. Victoria, Australia. April 10.
Dissatisfied with the recruiting and
defense administration and the financial
position of the Nationalist Government,
led by W, NJ. Hughes. eight members Of
the Ministerial party have requested the
Prime Minister to call Parliament to-
gether at once to discuss these ques-
tions thoroughly before he leaves Aus
tralia for the imperial conference The
request has not yet been granted by Mr..
Hughes
The requisition 10 the Prime Minister
marks the formation OF what may be
called a Nationalist corner within the
party. These critics are opposed to Mr
Hughes's leadership and desire a recon
struction Of the cabinet. At the same
time they will not precipitate a general
election, as this would quite possibly re-
store Labor to power
Sir William Irvine stands out as per-
haps the most picturesque figure OF the
eleven or twelve Nationalists who have
come into the open against their present
leader. Sir william has one object ever
before him-the reinforcement of the
men at the front, aad. however bitterly
he may have been opposed, the unCnang-
ing sincerity of his advocacy has been
generally recognized In a recent ad-
dress on the question Of the war Sir
William Irvine declared that Parliament
should not have slirked its responsibility
on the cOnscription question.
For any Government or Parliament
In time OF crisis to throw the burden OF
deciding such a momentous question OIL
n people torn BY conflicting emotions
and ignorant Of many essential facts
known 10 the Government and Parlia-
ment, was opposed TO any principle of
fair play, common sense and justice. In
no country in the world would such a
referendum be carried"
His object, he explained, in having
raised the banner Of conscription a sec
ond time had not been to bring about a
second referendum, but to cause the
Government TO introduce a bill and stand
or fall by It, II might have been known,
he said, that the second appeal wolld
produce the game result as the first.
''rhe Government stalted It's existence
on the vote and dissolved Itself, but with
the exactitude and rapldity of a military
evolution has reformed itself on the field
OF battle without casualty. Have the
people decided that conscription is utterly
bad? I think not. Many would do any
thing to avoid II and many voted against
II on political or personal grounds" he
said.

The Germans delivered six heavy
blows between Bailleul and Gpres in
an attempt to bend back the British

The Germans brought up fresh d!.

brilliant Codnter-attack, they beat off
the enemy elsewhere. The British

But the whole British army is glad
at this bold movement. 1t not only

II seems hard in a way to give up
