London Conference
On Debt to I'll We
No Definite Agenda
Berlin Finances Will BE the
Most Important Matter
of Discussion; Gathering
Assumes a Broader Scope
From The Tri1une's European Bureau

Copyright 1922, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, July 26.-In all but name
the meeting of the Premiers here next
week will be gathering of the Su-
preme Council. The Earl Of Balfour's
note to Premier Poincare suggesting
that August would be convenient
date contained the hint that if the
Italian Cabinet was formed by that
time it might be desirable to have rep
resentatives from that country in at
tendance. AS it is known that Bel
GUM also will be represented at the
conference, it seems probable that the
gathering will assume broader scope
than at first indicated.
The statement is made, however,
that only conversations" will be held,
and the ministerial answers to ques~
tions in the House this evening
brought forth the statement that no
definite agenda had been drawn up.
This means that the Commons is not
to have a chance to discuss the ques-
tion Of reparations until after the
meeting Of the Premiers with repre-
sentatives of the two other countries
most interested.
The important matter of discussion,
it is credibly reported, will be the
German financial position, the facts of
which will be laid before the gather
ing by the Investigators sent to Ber-
lin by the Reparation Commission.
The text Of the report made by this
body is now in London, and it is un-
derstood that the German government
does not object to the most searching
Allied probe based on this investiga-
tion. t..-
The British press has little to saw
on the proposals Of debt cancellation
recently discussed by the British and
French, but stout objection is made
by "The Manchester Guardian" to the
cancellation of debt by the British.
This newspaper points out that the
ability of France and Italy to pay may
be vastly improved five years from
now. "The Guardian" warns against
too much optimism in the matter of
| remission Of the American debt and
says that it would be best for the
British to retain some claim on
debtors.
Another interesting feature is the
probability Of dissentions over the
tariff and the safeguarding of British
industries, now an acute matter here.
This situation probably will make
Lloyd George proceed with extreme
caution in his dealings with the other
countries, as he will have to account
Tor his acts to the Unionists and the
Coalition Liberals.

BERLIN, July 26.--An international
loan and the placing of Germany's
obligations at figure corresponding
to her actual powers Of performance
are the only ways in which the outside
world can stabilize the mark, declared
Finance Minister Andreas Hermes to-
night in an interview with the Tribune
correspondent.
"a general basis Of confidence" said
Herr Hermes, "must be created 1t ia
senseless to drive to despair great
nation by demands which are beyond
the human capacity of fulfllment. If
confidence is shown in Germany by the
outside world 1t cannot fail to bear
fruit. Let US not shut our eyes to the
fact that the economic and political
ruin of a country the size of Germany
will inevitably have strong reaction
not only upon her neighbors, but upon
the United States"
Denies Fall Was Staged
Herr Hermes vigorously rebutted ths
charge that the failure of the mark
was deliberately brought about by Ger
many.
Financial and economic suicide" he
said, 'is really no means for nation
Of sixty millions to extricate itself
from a difficult situation"
The Finance Minister contended that
Germany had exploited her resources
90 aLn ,,fy to orJav 4n oF
the state Of confusion into which her
finances had lapsed and to start in
earnest the fulfillment Of her obliga-
tiops.
81 should be delighted" said Hermes,
"if an impartial examination Of our
condition by taxation experts from
abroad would shift this question from
a sphere of bewildering agitation and
give it broad illumination for the
benefit of international public opinion"
With regard to possible economies
in government expenditure, the Finance
Minister said:
"The German budget has been dras-
tically cut down by the government
and the Reichstag and next year will
be further reduced in consistency with
the tasks Of the state. In the future
a commissioner of economy, with ade-
quate jurisdiction, will exercise CEN
sorship in the Finance Ministry.
Laid Cards on Table
~ believe four weeks with the guar
antics committee removed many false
impressions. Truly we submitted to
financial control and that was not easy
for us, since it goes to the very limit
of what state with claim to inde-
pendence can bear. We laid our cards
open on the table, and perhaps this will
take the edge off the attacks of agita-
tors"
Hermes promised that everything
possible would be done to check the
flight Of capital from Germany, but
pointed out that the real cause of It
was the depreciation of the mark
which, he said, could not be stopped
by the mere reduction of reparation
payments

QUICK WORK LOADING SPUOS

Sixty-five bushels of POTATOES are
dumped, sorted. graded, sacked and
loaded in a car in exactly eight min
utes at the Farmers Cooperative com.
PAM warehouses whe.c farmers OF
this section are now MAJ getting their
potato crop. This new and modern
equipment was recently installed by
the organization, and because Of this
potato grader and automatic sacking,
growers of "spuds" get more sales for
their crop than hitherto. That is, UNI
tatoes were shipped in carload lots
and were not sacked, so they were not
as desirable as they are when properly
sacked for shipping to distributing
points.
That old saying that a man is with
out honor in his own country iSoften
true when applied to institutions thai
have grown up in cities. Brookings has
IN active organization that IS a great
boom to the farmers of Bookings
county in the Farmers Cooperative
association, and the visitor inspecting
the plant is surprised at the enormous
amount of business attended to in be-
half of the farmers of this locality
The potato machine is of course, the
novel attraction at the elevators now,
and it was that which | inspected first
ON a rnnnnt Wait m tho rpnnnrafiNrn
plant under the guidance Of J. ID. VIII
son, general manager.
A farmer many miles from Brook
ings drove up with his wagon load of
"spuds." AS quick as the eye can
travel, the automatic dump had I'M
loaded the potatoes and they were car
ried up the sorter where they were
screened, sorted and graded besides
the hand sorting which every load re-
ceives as it goes through the machine.
The grader separates the small po-
tatoes from the others and by means
of an elevated hopper, returns them to
the farmers wagon. Then the pota-
toes that are graded properly and are
up W SldludIu are vent Oh u the SACK
ing hopper where three men work rap
idly at the sacking and three others
sew up the top of the sacks. Then,
automatically, the sacks are carried
on an elevator directly to the car wait
ing on the tracks outside the building.
All day long this machinery huns
and potatoes pour in perfect streams
from the wagons to the dumps. l saw
them fairly jump from the grader to
the hoppers and then disappear into
the sacks, the machine works at such
speed. In an average working day this
euipment handles 1000 bushels or 6
carloads of potatoes for growers in
this section, and the basement work
room where the spuds are taken care
of. easily accommodates 5000 bushels
when storing is necessary. because OF
lack of cars. So nowadays farmers
when bringing in their loads never
hear. "we'fe full-youll have to wait
until tomorrow" because now the pc

Dakota, and the dumping machine is
unique in that it is the only one OF
this exact kind in the country.
This installation of modern machin-
cry to handle the potato crop for
Brookings county farmers is only n
OF the recent improvements made by
the Cooperative organization. and it
signifies what the institution means to
farmers. The plant has large lumber,
coal, cement and grain interests
through which the farmer benefits. In
the coal house a gravity conveyor
shoots the coal from the bins to the
farmers wagon thus saving his labor
and time. On my visit to the plant |
watched farmer after farmer drive up,
unload potatoes and then make visits
TO the various departments where the
implements, salt, feed, flour and other
supplies are handled.
Such an organization as this could
not succeed without business-like
methods, and the board of directors
knows exactly where to look for every
expenditure and every cost because a
monthly trial balance has been regu-
larly kept since the organization be-
gan. Some people think farmers are
unbusinesslike. but after a visit in
the bookkeeping rooms, where the
pennies are looked after by p. j. Erie
and Charles Herreman, / decided that
farmers of Brookings county show a
lot of commercial wisdom.
The Cooperative personnel includes
Thomas Sampson, an expert grain buy
er Of 80 years experience, Fred Raj
ston, Ole Hasle and f. 0. Eddy. The
organization is one of the largest of its
kind in the country, with more than
500 stockholders. and the directors
who have brought the plant from its

ago Brookings was not much of a
marketing center; farmers living only
three miles away took their grain and
potatoes to other towns to sell. Today
the Farmers Cooperative handles the
produce of the farmers living in a
radius Of Is miles.
A visit to the plant during the po-
tato season, which is only half way
through, will convince you that Brook
ings has an organization remarkable
in the amount Of business it transacts,
and you will watch with amazement
the big, smooth potatoes from Brook
ings county farms travel through the
dump, grader, sorter and to the cars
in eight minutes time, just as watch
