LONDON O HOLDS
j. S.. ELECTION
A WILSON BLOW
Says that American People Have
Rejected Unworkable
InternatiOnalism
GERMAN PAPERS COMMENT

London, Nov. 4.--trhe London mora
ing papers devote considerable edi-
torial space to the American elec-
ton. %SThey dwell upon what they
characterize as the decisive rejection
of the present government policy and
that the turnover gives the assurance
that whatever policy Senator Harding
and his administration will adopt will
at least have the chance of accept
ance by a strong Republican con-
gress.
The American elections on this oc-
casion have a much greater interest
to Europe than ever before The
Times thinks there is no reason to
doubt that Harding will have good
working majority in both houses OF
Congress and is pleased to think that
Mr.. Harding will not be his own prime
minister and foreign minister"
1t regards the election as a dis
tinct warning to Bolshevists and ex
tremists of all kinds.
WILSON KEBUkE
The Morning Post compares Presi-
dent Wilson with Lenine. 1t says
both are idealists with identical
methods, though different aims, and
that "Amerca's rejection Of such au-
tocratic ideas will bring relief to the
world"
"Americans, adds the paper, have
decided, not in favor Of strident and
arrogant nationalism but against pry'
ing and unworkable internationalism."

STATE AID ROAD IN WARD

Government Pays Fifty Per Cent, the
State Twenty-Five and the County

The first state and federal aid pro-
ject in Ward county to be completed
is the Minot-Burlington state road
from the maintenance of which the
Minot Construction Co., to which the
contract was awarded in June, was re-
lieved by the state highway commits
sion this week. This highway is now
under county maintenance.
The project was surveyed in April,
1918, but the contract for it's con-
struction was not awarded until June
Of this year, there being delays en-
countered in complying with the fed
eral requirements before letting the
contract and shortage of labor exper-
fenced after the contract was let. The
road is now under heavy traffic, all
the trucks hauling coal from Burling-
ton coming over it, and although the
gravel used was not screened owing
to lack Of funds, it is the most sub

Of the state. Final inspection is vet

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
Dec. %.

Dec. 20.
The effort to effect union of rep
reSentatives of western and southern
growers reached climax on Thurs
day when congressman from the agri-
cultural states met at the Capital to
make plans for carrying on an inten-
sive drive for emergency-relief legis-
lation for the benefit Of the farmers of
the West and South. Men from both
parties We're in attendance at the con-
ference and committee, of which
Congressman George M. Young was
chosen chairman, was selected to work
out constructive relief program
which those at the meeting agreed was
to be pushed for immediate action.
Representative Sinclair of North Da-
kota was also in attendance at the
conference.
The committee agreed to push for
passage an emergency tariff bill which
will protect the growers of the country
from foreign competition. Mr.. Young
recently introduced a bill to prohibit
for one year importation of rye and
rye products, wheat and -four, barley,
flax, oats and oats products, swine,
cattle, sheep and all domestic live an
finals suitable for food. In effect the
bill to be presented will doubtless
bring about similar result, either
through a protective tariff or an alb
solute embargo. The Ways and
Means committee is expected to re-
port the emergency tariff bill under a
special rule on Wednesday. In the
Senate similar action will probably
be taken, although many senators will
favor an embargo act. .
Senator McCumber is of the opinion
that an embargo on wheat should be
Immediately declared and in the Sen
ate recently submitted figures furnish
ed by the Department Of Agriculture
to illustrate the gravity of the pres
ent situation. The Senator stated that
in the year 1919 5,405,40 bushels Of
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-12-30

wheat had been imported Into the
United States while in the month OF
November of the present year alone al
last 10000, 900 bushels would enter the
boundaries Of this country from for.
eign fields.
The Gronna resolution to reestab.
fish the War Finance Corporation to
finance the export Of farm products
has passed both houses and after the
House amendments have been adjust.
ed in conference will go to the Presi.
dent. 1t is hoped that this will have
stabilizing effect upon the market.
Congressman Yonug expects action
upon his bill to extend $100,000,000
credit to farmers on livestock paper
through the Federal Land banks short
ly after the holiday recess and will
take the bill up with the provisional
committee Of western and southern
growers in an endeavor to have his
bill made a part Of the emergency
program.
That some form Of adjusted com.
pensation legislation in favor Of the
veterans Of the world war will pass
the Senate at this session seems APP
parent upon the conclusion of the pub
lie hearings held last week before the
Senate Finance Committee at which
representatives of the American Leg
ion and other veterans organizations
appeared in support of such action.
Senator McCumber, senior senator
from North Dakota, and acting chair
man Of the Finance committee, issued
statement on Friday to the effect
that he was in favor of giving the SOL
diers of the World War proper recog-
milton and would vote for an adjusted
compensation act if it was not incom-
patible to the best interests Of the
country adding:
"We have an enormous deficit to
meet and the conditions of the treas
ury very bad and industrial conditions
almost appalling. I am certain that
