jews DEFENDED
BY BILL TAFT
Former President: Says
Ford Attack Not
Justified

Chicago,-William Howard Taft,
former president, fiayed Henry Ford,
automobile manufacturer here for
the latter's attacks on Jews which
have been appearing in Ford's weekly
publication.
Taft said statements in Ford's pa
pers that the Jews are trying to gain
control of the world are false. In
pointing out the fallacy of the state
ment that Jews are the leading capi-
talists and international bankers of
the world, Taft cited that more than
half of the thirteen million Jews in
the world are still suffering not only
persecution and oppression but the
bitterest penury and starvation.

HARMONY WANTED

Despite one of the most string
ent money markets ever faced in
the history of North Dakota, a
general spirit of optimism for
the tide of 1921 was evident here
today. Business men, altho "sit-
ting tight" as one expressed HIM
self, are looking forward to a
break of better conditions. It
was pointed out that with the
unceasing breaking prices, the
end was not far distant and if
that point is reached in the next
few weeks business will promptly
begin a climp towards perman-
ent growth ON sound foundation.
Farmers are beginning to show a
spirit of cooperation manifested by a
willingness to dispose of surplus
wheat holdings, at least to a limited
extent only awaiting f@5ther evi-
dence Of the same indication from
mercantile industry and the bankers.
This awaiting Of such a condition is
not however charged up to local in
stitutions but rather to the interests
that apparently have the country in
their grip making a final squeeze be-
fore letting go and permitting the
nation to catch lis breath.
On the one hand, the farmers gen.
orally are openly expressing con-
fidence in local merchants and the
small dealers and bankers with whom
they must come in daily contact. The
same feeling is apparently true of a
majority Of the mercantile establish
ments with every move pointing to-
wards an ideal cooperation on. a
mutual basis as it should be.
Predictions were made here this
morning in some quarters that the un-
settled condition of markets would
have tendency to wipe out much Of
the evils of present day modes Of life
and renew relations of trades people
and the public-if it does, again will
it be said that good came of the bad
In the meantime, business men and
farmers are joining in spirit Of
optimism and living in hope Of bet.
ter things for North Dakota and be.
ginning to believe that Devils Lake
will, before another crop harvest rolls
around, be not only commercial
center but one of harmonious deal
ings in all it's community and state
affairs.
