Abandon Program.

Publicity Director of League
Denies Reports Published
In Minneapolis. .

Minneapolis, Feb. 14AH. A. Pad
dock. secretary of the North Dakota
Industrial Commission, today issued
the first statement in reference to re-
ports that the Eonpartisan League
planned abandonment of it's program
in North Dakota.
John n. Hagan, commissioner of
agriculture and labor of North Da
kota and a member Of the industrial
commission, l.. p. McAneney, director
of credits of the Bank of North Da-
kota, and l have been in conference
with a number of Twin City and North
Dakota bankers and bond dealers in
connection with the sale of North Da-
kota state bonds.
"rhese bonds, if sold, will provide
money for the use of the bank Of
North Dakota and the state indus
tries, and there are very good pros
pccls that we will be successful. If
these negotiations result successfully
the critical situation we hav" exper-
fenced will have been surmounted.
Statements in Minneapolis papers that
there has been an agreement to aban-
don the farmers program in North
Dakota are false. There has been
no such agreement and there could
be 10 such agreement. Only the leg
stature of North Dakota could make
an agreement that would commit the
farmers Of North Dakota in regard 20
their programs
Tire Bank of North Dakota is not
ipsoivent. The present situation in
North Dakota is, due 10 the fact that
private bankers have over-extended
credit and are unable to repay the
Bank OF North Dakota some $4,000
900 of demand obligations
If the private banks in North Da-
kota in which the Bank Of North
Dakota has redeposited its funds were
able to meet their obligations to the
Bank of North Dakota, it would not
be in any manner embarrassed
