this international relationship Or that,
only suggests a delusion, when reason
is needed for a safe counsel.
You have been summoned to cOunsel
all America; to apply your knowledge
and your experience in relieving con.
dition which concerns all America
the president further told the confer
ence. Specifically you are to deal with
unemployment. to suggest way to re-
pairing the arterial circulation which
is the very life blood Of the republic.
There is always unemployment.
Under most favorable conditions, / am
told. there are million and half in
the United States who are not at work.
but there is excessive unemploy-
ment today and we are concerned, not
alone about its diminution, but we are
frankly anxious, under the involved
condition, lest it grow worse, with
hardships Of the winter season soon
to be met. The problem of unemploy-
ment is the most difficult with which
we are confronted.
but there are no problems affect
ing our national life and the welfare
Of the American people which we can
not and will not solve. If we fail to-
day we will try again tomorrow.
"It is fair to say that you are not
asked to solve the long controverted
problems of our social system. We have
builded the America Of today and the
fundamental of economic, industrial
and political life which made us what
we are, and the temple requires no re-
making now. We are incontestibly
sound. We are constitutionally strong.
We are merely depressed after the
fever and we want to know the way
to speediest and dependable conval-
essence.
when we know the way everybody
in America-capital and labor, en-
austry and the priyates in the trenches
will go over the top. in the advance
drive Of peace. Frankly it is difficult
to know whether we have reached that
bedrock to which reaction runs before
the upward course begins, but here are
representatives of the forces which
make for all we are or ever can be,
and your soundings ought to be re-
liable
II would have little enthusiasm for
any proposed relief which seeks either
palliation or tonic from the public
treasury The excess Of stimulation
from that source is to be reckoned a
cause of trouble rather than source
of cure. We should achieve but little in
a remedial way If we continued to
excite contributing cause.
at is not my thought to suggest
your lines Of conference. | have wished
to say to you that the people of the
United States are very deeply interest
ed, not alone the unemployed, but all
who are concerned for our common
veal, and the world is looking on to
find helpfulness in our American
example,
Secretary Hoover speaking immedi-
ately after the president. declared the
conference first should determine the
volume, distribution and character Of
the nations unemployment and then
evolve series of emergency methods
to meet the present situation.

would be felt beyond the borders Of the
United States and that the delegates

will establish that poison caused the

problem is akin to your own. and your
relief in the United States will be an
added signal of hope from America to
US and other peoples who are much de-
pressed.
That remark of a distinguished for
eigner emphasized our responsibility,
the president added. If it be true that
one among his fellows, which ] believe
to be everastingly true. then nations,
great and small, are influencing others
in all thew do.
THE industrial depression which we
are feeling is war inheritance through
out the world We saw humanity
stressed in that production which is
ilnpelled by nations desperate in self
| preservation. From such a
| test there is inevitable reaction.
With the world involved, there is no
escape for any of the world from the
valleys of depression. Though we suf-
fered less than many Of those with
whom we were associated, and less
contended. 1t was inevitable that We
experience the fever's aftermath and

Important Decision

on May 10 tho United states dis
trict court OF tho eastern distric, of
Oklahoma rendered decision iu th.
cas-" of Pearl On sUoim and DjI,r,
against the oklahoma Hruduoiu- n
Refining Corporation OF America
which is far reaching I'm oftoct 30
the oil industry
The court I'm this case held void
"a lease or stipulation extending the
terms of "a former lease, which stIp-
ulhtion was executed by the allottcc
without the joluder of the wife upon
which lands huW stead rights had
attached two years prior 60 the OK

Chisholm II IA haif-breod Choro:cc
Indian and the land involved consi-
tutcs his homestead and surplus all
lotmonts and at the time tho stipula-
ton was executed IN 1914 the home
stead portion was restricted and the
entire 80 acres was operated as ont"
lease and was all included in the
stipulation the effect of which was
to extend the term as long as oil or
gas was found in paying quantities
and increase the royalty from LILO
TO l-S. This stipulation was exc
cutcd under the rules aud Tcgula-
t!ons of tho department and was
approved by the department I'm so
far As IL covered the homestead por-
tion.
The, court held that the entire
NO-aurc tract was the homestead Of
Chisholm and his wife and that at
the time of the execution Of the stip-
ulaiion Chisholm was not only AN
enrolled member OF the Cherokee
tribe of Indians and a citizen OF the
. cd 4N a
tho state OF oklahoma. and that
when entering into contract il was
necessary that such contract he
made in conformity with tho laws
Of the state and in addition thereto
in so FAR as II affected the restriC-
tions placed upon him as "a member
OF said tribe bv the laws of congress
or Indian treaty, the contract must
conform thereto in order TO be com
pletcd or have validity
The court further held that CHS
holm and his wife would not be
estoppcd from asserting the Invalid
ity of the stipulation by reason of
the fact that the company had been
operating under the stipulation snce
1914, during which time the allottcc
had received the increased royalty
through the department and al
on the land since 1914.
1t has been the general policy Of
the companies or parties taking dc
partmen,al oil and gas leases in tho
past, TO obtain the Signature Of the
allottcc only. This IL all the depart
ment requires and in numerous in
stances when the spouse has Joined I'm
the lease the department has re
turned the lease for proper cHCcu-
tion by the allottoe alone.
II the holding of the court stands
II Will doubtless affect hundreds Of
oil and gas leases In this jurisdiction.
The holding OF the court presents an
entirely new theory I'm holding that
contract executed by restricted
Indian under the laws Of congress
and by virtue Of the rules and rcgu-
iations of the department Of tho in
tCrlur must conform TO the laws Of
the state OF oklahoma before IL has
