STATEMENTS OF

State Officials Not Surprised
At Items Charged as Loss
By Auditors
is NOT MAKING MONEY

Statements of the Bank Of North
Dakota issued in the future will be
based upon the Bishop, Brissman and
company audit of the affairs of the
bank, which showed loss Of $780,
1854 on Dec. 81, 1921. Reckonings
Of profit and loss of the bank will be
made from this report, 1t is under
stood.
The condition of the bank as shown
W the report is about as exnected p"
G. r. Greene, manager of the bank.
MIR. Greene, asked concerning the re-
port, said that he had taken the show
ings as \left by the former manage
ment of the bank, feeling that there
should be no change made until after
the official audit. The items charged
off by the auditing company were also
counted as loss by Mr.. Greene.
The Bank of North Dakota is not
making money at the present time, al
though expenses of conducting the
bank have been materially reduced.
Mr.. Greene said that he did not be-
lieve in figuring profit or loss Of an
institution diiring the middle of a
year, and added that while there
might be shown either a slight profit
or loss on the books this could not be
safely determined until the end of the
year.
Among the items which the audit
ing company charged off In the report
were discount on bank series bonds
and commissions paid for bond sales.
These items, totalling $4,000. had
been carried as an asset on the books
of the bank, practice which the aud
itors by their report hold to be un.
tenable. There is q possibility it il
stated, of this loss being reduced
somewhat II bank series bonds now
unsold are sold above par or profit

farmers.
Expenses of the bank, exclusive OF
the farm loan department, have been
reduced from $7,777.4O in November,
1921 to $3,993.0O in March while the
! expenses of the farm loan department.
built almost from the ground, have
increased materially.
Practice Discontinued.
A practice which has been discon-
tinued by the bank and which had
previously resulted in large paper
profits is the crediting OF interest on
loans and rederpsits in closed banks
| It is generally admitted that there
is small hope of collecting any con-
siderable amount Of this interest.
Great losses will be- sustained also
in the principal of loans and redepos-
its in closed banks, it is expected. Be
cause the affairs Of none Of these
banks have been finally closed the
loans and redeposits are still carried
as assets of the bank. It is not likely
that they will be charged off until the
affairs of the various banks are set
tied, although in some cases the los!
will admittedly be very high.

RUSSIA TO FOREFRONT.

. "SSSsSN = ~ Sbsss SsS'Sss
Genoa, April H. Russia, the status
of which is one of the questions of su-
preme Importance to be decided by
the economic conference, came to the
forefront soon after the opening Of
that great assembly yesterday.
Speeches had been made by the pre-
siding officer, Premier Facta of Italy;
NJ. Barthou, representing France;
Premier Lloyd George Of Great Brit
ain, DR.. Wirth Of Germany and spokes-
men OF Japan and Belgium, all Of a
conciliatory nature and voicing adher-
ence to the Cannes resolution upon
which the present gathering is based.
Mr.. Lloyd George had said that all
the delegates met on footing Of
equality, provided they accept the
conditions set forth, which briefly de-
clared that the countries must not
repudiate their contracts, that they
must not engage in aggressive opera
tions against others and that the peo
pie of one country should be entitled
to Justice in the courts of another.
George Chitcherin, the Russian
soviet foreign minister, in speaking
for his delegation announced their ad-
herence to the resolutions and then
declared that Russia was ready to
support any proposals that would avoid
war or tighten the burden OF arma-
ment.
M, Barthou Immediately protested
and declared with some heat that
France would absolutely refuse to dis
cuss the question of disarmament at
this conference. $1aGtI.3F
Mr.. Lloyd George fastened to In.
tervene, and in his contention that
disarmament could not be taken up,
certainly not before a peace basis
had been reached at Genoa, he was
supported by Signor Facta-
Eventually the discussion on THIS
point ceased, after M. Chitcherin SAID
the Russian delegation would bow to
the collective will Of the conference.
Peace Is Keynote Of Meeting.
The clash between the Russian and
French delegates disclosed the fact
| that disarmament is not on the
agenda and that therefore this mat
ter it not to ibe taken up for consid-
GRAFTON.
The keynote of Lloyd Georges
speech was peace and he made power
full appeal to the delegates to work In
unison for the restoration of good rela-
tions and normal economic conditions
throughout the world. He believed
that if the conference was successful
in it's achievements, the United States
"would not merely come in, but come
in gladly"
The Italian premier who was elect
ed permanent chairman Of the confer.
ence was equally earnest in his de-
sire for unanimity and said the aim OF
1 Italy was in carrying out any resolu
; zion likely to guarantee peace an1
stability among the nations.
NJ. Barthou pledged the loyal sup
, rort of France in whatever the con
{ ference might do to put into execu
ton the tasks Of reconstruction ant
good relationship which it had map
ped out.
