On the other hand. private financial
enterprise, freed from official limita-

needed, is essentially a business and
financial problem to be handled along
broad minded lines by business men
and financiers who are conversant with
conditions abroad as we'll as in this
country. The problem resolves itself
into question of securing the wide
distribution among investors in this
country of debentures underwritten
either by the government or by the
banking interests OF this country to
cover advances which these interests
may in turn make against supplies sent
to Europe and other parts of the world.
II must be admitted that. other consid-
erations being equal. these certificates
of indebtedness could be foated more
readily if they were guaranteed by the
government than they could be if the
underwriting banks alone stood back of
them. But it would seem that the ad e
vantage of that plan in this respect
would be more than offset by its dis
advantages in other directions.
Emergency Condition
The condition of the present finan
cial relationships of the principal coun
tries OF the world is essentially an emer
gency condition. The period over which
the European countries will require an,
great amount of assistance is far from
certain. 1t may run more than thre

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-09-11
Interesting Newspaper lO2 Years Old

The Independent is indebted to
John Sawyer, of the U. S. employment
office in Minot, for the loan of a
newspaper published at Kennebeck,
Maine, under date Of Aug. 4, 1897 and
according to the date, it is 1872 years
old. While it is yellow with age, it
can still be plainly read, showing that
it has been carefully preserved. The
name Of the paper is the Kennebeck
Intelligencer. 1t is four-column af-
fair and at it's masthead appears the
line, ''To publish the truth shall be
our honest aim"
Naturally, the paper contained no
telegraphic dispa tches, for it was pub
lished long before the telegraph or
telephone were known. The news of
the day tells of Gen. Bonaparte's
army. The General demands that the
French army again be put in possess
sion of Trieste before quitting Aus
tria. An insurrection was reported
to have occurred in the. British fleet,

MINOT MAN NET
CARDINAL MERCER
Lieut.. Hayes Says This Great Man
Will Receive Great Welcome in
America.

The Independent enjoyed good
visit with Lieut.. Hayes, formerly Of
Co. D, who is spending furlough in
Minot. He will leave for Camp
Dodge shortly where he will be mus
tered out of the service. Lieut. Hayes
was in three of the major operations
in France and for some time before
leaving Europe, was stationed at Rot
terdam, Holland, in charge of sup
ply station. He says that Holland is
now the richest nation in the world.
Holland profted by the war and was
able to keep out Of the fighting. All
she did was just grab the money. The
Dutch people are the most self-con-
tanned in the world. They hate the
English, the French, the Americans,
the Germans, in fact everybody ex-
cept themselves. Holland is more
crowded with people than ever, it be-
ing estimated that there are 100000
people in Rotterdam alone. The little
country is only about 800 miles wide
and has population of six million.
The Belgians, he says, are wonder
full people. Despite all they have
everyone. When King Albert and his
Queen visit America, he predicts a
wonderful welcome for them. An
other man who will receive great
welcome is Cardinal MERCER, who re-
manned in Belgium after the German
army arrived and administered to the
poor war-stricken people. Lieut..
Hayes met Cardinal MERCER, who is a
democratic gentleman. The Belgians
love MERCER more than they do their
king.
