The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1919-10-22

y The organs and politicians of the Farmers Non-Partisan
party in North Dakota, instead of discussing the receivership
of the Observation-Disclosures Bank on its merits, are busy
denouncing the two state officials who called the bank to &C
count for making huge loans to Non-Partisan League politi-
rifce of the interests Of the depostors, in the bank. 1t seems
that it had been arranged that the State Bank Examiner would
not call this bank to account, and the state officials who did
are denounced as TRAITORS, not traitors to public duty, but
traitors to the party organization and the politicians now in
power in the state
The Bank of North Dakota, now beginning business, will
under the laws of the state, not be subjected to scrutiny by
"snooping" officials representing the people who are to put
for the maintenance Of the enterprise. The new bank can pay
according to Frank E. Packard, an assistant attorney general
of North Dakota. It can loan all its money to one individual
and overdrafs are not forbidden; although all public funds
must be deposited in the bank. No penalty can be imposed
upon its officers for making false reports. It does not have
to make good bad debts or impaired capital. Public treas.
urers are relieved from all responsibility once they have put
their money in this bank. If the money is sqdandered. or
embezzled it can be made good only. by taxation The bank
may transfer to other departments, institutions, industries or
for instance, to q state glue factory, if erected, as it may be
under the laws Of the state. The public bank examiner and
banking boards have no supervision over the institution. It
is responsible only to the political board which runs it.
No wonder the North Dakota Non-Partisan par6sans resent
the inquiry into the status of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bank.
which had loaned vast sums of the money of its depositors to
Non-Partsan political and business enterprises on such secur-
iy as pre-dated checks of members of the league. Doubtless
all this collateral might soon have been transferred to the new
North Dakota state officials had not been TRAITORS" to Town
leyism,
The officials who are to run the new state bank in North Da-
kota are the very people who induced this Scandinavian-Am
erlcan bank to loan hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
Non-Partsan League both as a political and a business organi-
cation. Of course if such loans had been made to or9an;-
cations of the old parties, these politicians would be making
the Welkin ring with outcry against the "loot of the ~plutes."
AS it is, everything is all right, Of course, and the officials who
banking laws are TRAITORS" not to the state, but to the Town
ley enterprises! The people of North Dakota are destined to
have less money when the Townley crowd gets through with
them, but they will have considerable more sense. "'

needs, which are to be discussed here,
will proves forward step toward the
adoption, through orderly and natur-
al agencies in the business an finan-
cial communities Of the world, Of re-
medies sufficiently far-reaching to
meet present difficulties and require
ments."
While it is 3 fact that the delegates
to the conference are not empower
ed to pledge their governments in
any way, their recommendations are
expected to carry great weight. The
conference, it is said, has the Sym
.pathy''. Of each nation represented.
England, France, Italy and Belgium,
as well as the United States has in
attendance an official observer" who
will report to his government and,
where such a course is desirable, it
is expected necessary enabling leg
islation" will be passed to put the re-
concentrations Of the conference into
effect.
Sterilization of foreign. exchange
is, perhaps, the most vital topic up
for consideration. One delegate put
it: 1--WE must stabilize exchange or
we won't have any foreign trade at
all. Europe needs vast quantities Of
raw materials, semi-finished as well
finished goods, and the United

high in affairs in
the United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy, and 'Belgium-met here
today at the opening session Of a
three days "clinic" to diagnose in
ternational trade ills and prescribe
for their cure. The first day was spent
largely in the organization of COM
mittees and other preliminary work.
The International Trade Confer
ence, as it is called, is being held un-
der the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. A.
mong the notables who are invited to
speak r King Albert of Belgium,
Herbert Hoover, A. c. Bedford, chair

committees none pafhaps, is more i'm

nance, headed by James S. Alexander
president Of the National Bank' Of
Commerce Of New York.
Discussing the objects Of the Credit
and Finance Committee, Mr.. Alexan-
der said: ut is to. study the ques-
ton Of re-establishing normal trade
relations between the United States
and the nations of Europe, TO pro-
vide an opportunity for a frank dis
cussion Of facts and an exchange of
views with our visitors from England,
France, italy ind Belgium. Neither
the foreign delegation nor the Amer
lean committee is in any sense Off
cial.
1T is hoped,that a dicussion around
the table 81. the facts and the prin-
ciples involved may serve to expedite
the re-establishment of sound credit
conditions, based upon a renewal Of
understanding and confidence, and
steadily increasing production. The
objective in the minds of business
men appears to be to place foreign
trade IN a normal basis, and not, ex-
cept 80 far, as the immediate emer-
gency may demand, to crystalline and
perpetuate abnormal conditions by
unusual methods.
I'm other words, the committees
aim is to search out, with all possible
speed consistent with soundess, the
ways and means by which the nations
Of Europe can freely carry on full
trade relations with the United Stat
es along business lines, lines econom-
ically sound, commercially desirable
and r~eciprocally beneficial. These ele-
ments form the only basis for rela-
tions which can be permanent and
which will therefore be regarded as
desirable either by the nations of Eu-
rope or the United States.

The minutes show the meeting to
have been opened by Count Won Berch-
told, who pleaded for an immediate
resort to arms against Serbia, stating
that Italy and Roumania "could be
compensated afterward for not hav-
ing been consulted beforehand"
Count Stephen Tisza, then Hungar-
ian premier, opposed the war, demand
ing that diplomatic action be taken
first and then that an ultimatum Of an
acceptable nature be sent. Only in
a S both failed would he have resort
ed to arms.
Count o Berchtold thereupon said:
"Now, is the right moment because
Germany is ready to assist"
Count Tisza again warned against
the danger Of a general European wal
as q result Of steps which were. con-
templated, %whereupon. Count Won
Berchtold said "The opportunity is %

CAPTAIN DYER
 LEAVES BASE
 AT BLACK ROCK

Captain Leonard Dyer, who has Naval Base and Training Station dur +-~ the war, has received his dis chayge and has TeturheG tz, asa honae n Greenwich. The Captain spent snort time in the city yesterday vis- iting some acquaintances, having lately returned after a short rest in Atlantic City.
 While commandant of the Black Rock Base, Captain Dyer endeared himself to all the boys under his com mand by his kindness and solicitation after the comfort of his men. It is not generally known that Captain Dyer's generosity extended to the point of installing equipment and ac- communications for the comfort of his men costing several thousand dollars. This expense was assumed by the Captain himself. It is known, how ever, that Captain Dyer has been commended by naval authorities on having one of the most efficient naval bases on the coast. At one time dur Ing the war there were as many as 400 men assigned to the Black Rock Base. This number has now been re- duced to about 20
 Captain Dyer is the inventor and holds the patent rights covering the shifting gears of automobiles Cap- tain Dyer recently won a suit against the Curtis Hydro-Aeroplane company in which it was decided that the Cap tain is entitled to the basic patent rights governing hydro aeroplanes.
 The Captain has the well wishes of his many civilian friends in Bridge port as well as the gratitude of the many boys who were lucky enough to serve under him at the Black Rock Base

BELGIC BRINGS
 5000 SOLDIERS

New York, Jan. 1.-The British steamer Belgic arrived yesterday from Brest with more than 5000 sol- diers from the American expedition ary forces, 107 of whom were sick.
 The largest contingent included thirty-six officers and 2,436 men of the 49th regular infantry, comprising the headquarters and medical detach- ments and the first and second bat talions commanded by Colonel L. C.. Palmer. Casual companies numbers 42S, 435, 429, and 433, and Casual compaSy number 3 of the chemical warfare service, two officers and 149 men, also were passengers.
 The Belgic brought 29 casual of- ficers and eight civilians from the army zone, in addition to number of private passengers. The troops went to Camp Merritt.
