Plan
PROBLEM TODAY !!
Plans to Harmonic Domestic
Politics With Expansion of
Trade Is Big Job
(BY United PrAaRl

Washington, March 23.-Plans to
harmonize domestic politics with
American trade expansion abroad to-
day formed the crux of the foreign
problems confronting the admins
tration.
The cabinet meeting yesterday de-
veloped the realization that 'Presi-
dent Harding must not only seek to
get the facts within his own party
in forming his program of world
policy but must create a working re-
lationship with foreign countries
permitting unhampered development
of American overseas trade.
This new angle Of the administra-
tons task, it was learned today, was
disclosed partly by Secretary Hughes
survey Of the foreign situation and
partly by Herbert Hoovers outline
for increasing American trade with
Europe. Foreign traders, it was
pointed out, are now dealing with
countries where American business
is not represented because it is
awaiting definite ruling Of the
governments relation to the rest of
the world.

CONNER lAL STUDENTS
HEAR INSTRUCTIVE TALK
Rev. L. p. Warford Gives Talk
to Local Business Students on
s.Undeveloped Resource

r "Undeveloped Resources" was the
subject Of the address delivered by
Rev. Lester p. Warford, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. to the students
Of. the .Bemidji- Business college Tues.
day morning. r..
.s5a Rev. Warrord's} address We S
freighted with interest and inspira-
ton. He said:
ss'The. greatest resources of the
world today are not iron, copper, and
lumber. 4 The real resources are hui
man resources Business people dis
covered this after =: many years OF
study, and found the great need OF
labor is to strengthen this human
foundation-to revive in the workers
a desire to produce, and a joy to
serve. How much our success as a
nation depends upon the fundament-
al, the character of the individual,
can only be understood when we: re-
alize how dependent we are one upon
the other. !
al 1--WE might characterize integrity,
vision, and industry, as elements OF
undeyelopedt resources" said Rever-
end Warford. "tThe genuineness and
value Of the signatures of the stocks
and bonds We place in the deposit
box at the bank depends; first, upon
the integrity of the lawyers, clerks
and stenographers who drew up the
papers; second, upon the integrity OF
the officers who signed the docu-
ments; third, upon. the integrity OF
the courts and judges; fourth, in
the integrity of the community
which would determine whether or
not the order of the court would be
executed; fifth, in the integrity OF
the bank to which the papers was
intrusted. We. are all dependent
upon the honesty, or integrity OF
each other. q. -. .
!"You cannot accomplish anything
II you cannot appreciate the word
vision; that is, the power Of vision.
For lack of vision an Indian tribe in
Brazil living at the foot Of a great
waterfall failed to utilize the thous-
ands of. horsepower that they let 60
undeveloped."
In closing, he said, "No person in
looking ahead can tell exactly what
the future will be. What we need
today is to be able to visualize. You
are going out into the business world
to climb up the ladder that leads to
success. In Proverbs, we read, Where
there is no vision the people perish.
Industry, plus vision and faith, are
the. qualities that make for great.

St. Paul, March 2S.-The occupa-

that would reach out eventually and
drag in each known profession and

ter the hearing of the senate tax
committee last night.
Killing of the McPartlin general
occupation tax bill will not stem the
flood of occupation tax legislation
that would follow passage of the oc.

FURTHER INVASION OF

Advancing Troops Into Rich

Berlin, March 23.-More confer
ences with the allies were demanded
by Germany today to arrange for in
demnity payments. The Berlin gov
eminent sent a note to the allied re-
parations commission which limited
Germany cannot pay the billion
marks required today. There was
anxiety in official circles.
While the reparations note setting
March 23 as the date for initial pay
ment was not regarded as ultimatum,
it was partly considered so. Advises
of the government stated that Ger
many was showing too much includ-
ing a final settlement and serious
trouble might result. Nevertheless,
financial experts in Germany declar-
ed that the sum named by the COM
mission will consider advancing the
large payment would wreck the
country financially and promote fur
Their industrial trouble. At the same
time this class was the most worried
over the possibility that the allies
may decide to infiict future penal
ties, it was known. The French are
indignant over the German attitude.
