NOT RUSHED WITH DEPOSITS
1t is probable that at the pres
ent rate the first year will see ap-
| plication made at the bank from
twenty to twenty millions OF farm
loans. 1t is quite apparent that
the deposits of the bank will run
from ten to fifteen millions. 1t will
be noted that THE individual de-
posts amount to $27,O75. and that
the certificates Of deposits, other
than of public funds, amount to
only Sll,307. 1t seems clear that
the people of the state or of the
United States are not rushing the
Bank of North Dakota with their
deposits.
In addition. the Bank of North
Dakota undoubtedly has the task
of financing the other banks of
the state and incidentally furnish
ing the capital through other
league banks for the Consumers
united stores, the League eN
change, the newspapers and the
league itself.
1t must furnish the capital for
the industries when they are to

cannot be sold. In fact. if the
cash assets of the bank were
S50,0OO.0OO instead of Sl2,OOO.0O0.
there would not be any more than
enough money to go around and
take care of its needs.
PEOPLE WAKING UP
The failure of the farm loan de-
partment of the bank to furnish
loans as advertised is leading to
widespread dissatisfaction. 1t is
significant that when the actual
loans made are only Sl27 ,5l2, that

fact that months elapse after ap-

Other reports have had it that
the German wage carriers are
voluntarily working longer hours
realizing that only by work can
they escape their difficulties.
The statement of Herr Schmidt
German minister of food and eco
nomice, would seem authoritative.
He says that the German econ
omic condition has improved to
an astonishing extent recently.
Workers have returned to their
tasks far more than seemed pos
sible last summer. He cited sta
tistics showing that production is
now close to the pre-war basis.
This is a remarkable showing.
It reveals the tremendous power
Of the German people and their
capacity for taking punishment.
The other peoples must get busy
and increase production, or they
will be left behind.

THRElE PATHS TO PEACE.

Authorities on international law agree that
a war may be terminated in three ways. By a
mere cessation of hoStilities; by conquest and
subjugation of one of the contending patles; or
by a mutual agreement embodied in treaty.
The first method leaves the relations of the
parties in an uncertain condition; and it has
never been settled and canot be determined In
advance what period OF suspension of war JUS
titles the presumption that peace has been re-
stored. 1t is better therefore that war should
be terminated by definite decision OF the
agreeing parties In our own case this is par
ticularly desirable, for only by such action can
it be definitely known when our wartime emer-
gency laws, comforting extraordinary authority
on the president, shall cease to be in force. The
peace resolution now before congress will have
all the effect in normalizing conditions that The
ratification of the treaty would have. The
president defeated ratification and opposes
peace by resolution. But congress and the
both want peace

French people had nothing to do with

Let us forget the errors Of the past

soon forget that just a few months

by the Hun and if the lines had not
been held by France on land, by Eng
land at sea (while we were slowly
getting ready do we not realize what
would have happened IL those lines
had broken? They were held at
tremendous loss of life, as the French
times how they stood it so long with

Do we realize if the Hun had reach
ed our shores what would have hap
pened, with our pro-Germans here
stabbing us in the back? We no
doubt would have won in the end,
but at a great loss of life and with
the same devastations which poor
Belgium and France suffered. Only
those that have lost boys in this war
know what war is.
Perhaps the world has no heart
and the almighty dollar plays too big
a part, so its heart will not be broken.
But a good many peoples hope will
be shattered. For we did hope some
thing would come out of this war 10
prevent such calamity happening
again. The French have said again
and again they wanted this war to
be the last one SO their children and
of their children would not

Prices Should BE "Stepped Down."
The Financial Age: With the large
surplus stock of foodstuffs on hand
at this time and with the acknow-
lodged considerable reductions in
both foreign and domestic demands,
it is hard to justify the recent bull
movement, just ended, which sue
ceeded in pushing UP the price OF corn
some 35 cents a bushel. This can
only be attributed to strong specula-
tive interests, which do not tend 10
relieve the high cost of living.
We are of the opinion that such
speculative movements do not help
the situation any. nor do any inter
ests that contribute TO such short
sighted policies. 1t is time we took
little sanity to these transactions
if we hope TO avoid bad break and
consequent damage.
1t would be far wiser II some means
and understanding could be arrived
at whereby the price level on all
things could be stepped down gradu-
ally in six months steps until we got
on a normal basis again. This would
give producer, wholesaler and re-
taller chance to gauge buying and
move stocks. The Chamber of Com
meree OF the United States might
we'll consider the matter at it's COM
ing convention at Atlantic City and
the bankers could accomplish much
good by restricting speculative
credits on commodities. 1t will profit
them and the country at large to do
so and may save an ugly break or
even a panic at later date.
