- Il am not interfering in any way with

said 81 am only interested in getting

l There is no intention of dropping or
2setrenching any part Of the industrial
program in North Dakota, including the
State-Owned and operated bank, mills
and elevators
There were some negotiations along
that line" he admitted, when asked
whether Twin City and Chicago bankers
had refused to take up 100000 bond
issue Of the Bank of North Dakota IN
less governmental policies in the State
were changed or curtailed.
The bankers failed to take up the
bond issue because they said political
conditions are too unsettled. I took no
part in the negotiations, but attended
some conferences.
Conditions will settle down soon in
North Dakota. I expect the industrial
commission will dispose of the bank
bonds so that the State Bank, which is
really a reserve and land loan bank, win
be able to help out the private bankers
They are the ones who need help. The
