BUsrsEss CONDITIONS

Running through the irregularities
Of the moment in business, trade. and

lowing through OF the present period
Of readjustment 10 inevitable, saye an
eastern review. It is conceivable that
some unforeseen political event might
suddenly interrupt the course Of eco
'pomic development and counteract
completely the influences now making
for stabilized conditions. but barring
that. the acceptance OF the present
situation as a curative rather than a

ing Of capital to other fields. Q scrap
ping OF plants and Dissemination Of
working Stats. Instead Of that we
have demand for additional capital in
the form Of short time loans to tide
various concerns over into the period
Of certain recovery. We have plants
continuing to operate despite the fact
that there is but a. slender market for
their products. We have employers
and employees considering new ar
ransements for their mutual protec-
ton and benefit despite the fact that
the surplus Of labor would make it
possible to take from labor all that
the latter was able to gain because of
way conditions, The explanation of
such a situation seems to be that those
who manage the productive and distri-
hutive agencies Of the country realize
that the underlying conditions are
sound and will eventually assert them
selves on the side OF business revival,

TWO SWISS JUDGES
RULED OUT OF THE
COMMUNIST PARTY

Geneva, Feb. 25.-(Mail.)-Two
Swiss Judges Of the cantonal tribunal
at Zurich have just been read out Of
the Swiss communist party tor having
sentenced a Socialist workman to ten
days in Jail for assaulting an un-
syndieated worker (fn "a strike: at
Zurich. ;. r. Z
The judges. DR.. BalsiEer and Lueh-
niger, were summoned to appear be.
fore the Socialist communist commit
tee on a. charge that the verdict was
incompatible with the communist
doctrine" When the judges refused
to appear. they were promptly ousted
from. the party. ti' ;6t"-
Writing in the volksracht Journal.
the judges declare. that though they
are Socialists and demand liberty they
according to their conscience and law
without regard to outside political
pressure.
Many papers commenting on the
incident state that this should be an
example to s%iss voters OF what the
result would be II communists who
received their orders from Moscow
were to- on into power in Switzer-
land.
The asrariAn parties Of several
cantone have made q proposal that
all communist employees should be
dis~uiSsedDds a danger to the state.

LOCAL FUNDS TO COME HOME.

Tho Bank Of North Dakota ofacials
appear no to have decided yet on
what curse they will take to meet the
situation arising out Of the supreme
court decision that local funds In the
state bank ma be collected by means
of ordinary proceedings at law. But
whatever their course may be, ~itEeozns
clear that local taxing bodies\ will be
able to obtain their money now on
deposit In the state bank 50 long as
the Bank of North Dakota has money
in IT. its possession or to its credit in
local banks,
In some discussions of the subject it
has been suggested that the Bank OF
North Dakota might seek to avoid
payment Of consid .rable sums of To-
cal money on the ground that the
funds standing to the credit Of the
hank include not merely current local
funds. but state funds. against which
local communities have no claim. and
sinking funds. which the state bank
authorities have maintained may not
be withdrawn from the central bank.
But officials of the bank have de-
clared on the witness stand that all
moneys in the banks possession passed
into a common fund. which could be
drawn upon for any purpose what
ever, If this is the fact. that fund
could be attached for debts owing, to
localities or individuals, and the bank
could o set up the defense hat this
or that sum was owed to this or that
person or institution. In a suit be-
tween individuals property is subject
TO levy under judgment. notwjth-
standing that the debtor may owe sew
eral times his assets to a number Of
other creditors.
1t would appear that the entire as
sets of the Bank of North Dakota are
subject to garnishment or other proc
esses 1or the collection of any debt
owed by the bank to any institution
or individual. Apparently collections
in this form may proceed so long as
there are any assets on which to levy.

RUSSIA THE HORRIBLE EXAMPLE

The situation that exists in Russia.
just now is not at all strange. 1t was
to be expected, and was predicted, It
is rue that the situation is In doubt.
Dispatches from that country are I'M
reliable. It is not safe to take them at
their face value, or to draw too def
mite conclusions from them. It. is i'm
possible at this time to Judge from
the reports sent out the extent Of the
movement against the Soviet govern
naent. or the probable duration of its
control.
But the thing that is not in. doubt
is thai under the Soviet system Russia
has suffered Generalization and disas-
ter compared with which the expert
n OF the country under the regime
OF the cars was a fortunate and hap
py one. Industry has been wrecked.
Commerce has been obliterated. With
natural resources capable of<produc-
ing food for many millions more than
it's w population, Russia u starving.
Civilization In Russia has collapsed.
and very largely because Of the at
tempt to a few reckless and ine1peri-
snced men to impose on the country
wrong principles in business and polit-
ical life.
The and was sure to come. Whether
or not it is neal we cannot tell. Many
facts tend to indicate that a decided
change is at hand. But whether now
OF at some later time, the wrong
methods that have been employed in
Russia will bring about successful re-
action, aud the country will awake
from its horrible dream.
On a smaller scale, and in 4 less
complete manne we have been pass-
ing through q. Russian experience in
this state. We are fortunate that the
process has gone no further than 1t
has. We have seen some OF the re-
suits here Of the application of the
doctrines which have been forced
upon the Russian people. We have
experienced enough to render most OF
US reluctant to proceed any further in
that direction.

RESTRICTION OF CREDIT.

There has been complaint that re-
suicuons Of credit by the Federal Re-
serve Bank has demoralized business
and created a condition Of hard times.
The Federal Reserve Bank has
Undoubtedly taken a very decided
state on The. matter of credits, but it
is more nearly correct to say that the
hank has sought to discontinue the
further expansion OF credits that that
it has restricted credits. It is true
that in some instances there has been
actual restriction. but that term does
not properly characterize the whole
situation.
There is a tendency to treat tbs war
years as fairly typical, in L. business
sense, and to assume that the condi-
lions as to prices which prevailed dur
ing that period to have been the nor
NAL. Figures are published showing
the enornlou shrinkage in values
which has taken place of late, and
there is the assumption that because
Of this shrinkage there has been an
actual loss Of wealth. The facts do
not warrant that assumption. :.
A tair indication Of the process that
has been gong N a be found in the
experience of the individual who
owned a house before the war, and
who still owns it. The properly at the
beginning of the war had a certain
market value. say 5000. Presently
that value increased. The owner
could sell at a profit. but be did not.

profits to establish himself as we'll

1t did him no good. He had the same

before. The peak was reached. and
the turn ame Prices came down.
That house would not sell today for
what Ii would have brought two years
ago. Is the owner a loser? Not at
all. He has the same property with
which he started. It is just as sery-
iceable as before. He had a paper
