War Finance Corporation declared in
its annual report sent to congress to.
day. The report set forth that al
percent of the money advanced t.
the agricultural industry had been
repaid either in advance Of maturity
or When due.
Advances by the corporation saved
the industry many millions of dol-
lars, the report declared, explaining
that the corporations officers believ-
ed its activity had proved as bene-
ficial in the restoration of confidence
as in the actual pouring of cash into
spots where credit was tightest. The
loans had made it possible for thous-
ands Of farmers to handle their pro-
ducts in an orderly fashion, it was
added, and the confidence instilled in
them through the knowledge that
money was available acted as sta
bilizer, the value Of which the report
said could not be estimated.
Large as is the number of ad-
vances made by the corporation" the
the report said, lit falls far short Of
indicating the number of farmers
who benefited from them, for even
those farmers who have had no fin
ancial assistance or indirectly, have
nevertheless been aided by the gen
eral improvement in the credit situa.
tion in their own communities, in
neighboring districts, and in the
country as whole, as we4 by the
stabilization of markets for the
many products of agriculture"
The report added the gradual de-
crease in the number of applications
for loans further reflected the gen.
eral benefit which the corporations S
operations have had on the agricul-
tural credit situation. Advances for
agricultural and livestock purposes
totalling 33,447 900 in 81 states had
been approved up to November &c.
OF this $182,859,000 went to 4,40O
banking institutions, $77,761,O00 TO

Wallace Case Decided by
Judge Pugh Is Sent Back
To District Court
HELD STATE VICTORY
Order of Court Regarded as
Rejected of Estimate
Contract Theory
HELD STATE VICTORY

The supreme court has remanded
the George E. Wallace case; involv-
ing the amount persons for whom
homes were built by the Home
Building Association of North Da-
kota shall pay for them, to the dis
trict court and ordered testimony
taken and record transmitted upon
a number Of points.
The action of the court, contained
in the minutes, is generally viewed
as a rejection Of the decision laid
down by District Judge Thomas
Pugh under which the state would
deliver the homes at the estimated
price, which oR an average was
about $4,000 below the figure final
ly set by the Home Building As
siciation.
=, In the case of George E. Wallace,
former tax commissioner, for whom
home was built in Bismarck, the
state associated claimed Mr.. Wal
lace should pay more than $1,000
for the house. Judge .Pugh held
that he should pay about $500,
which, Mr.. Wallace claimed, was
the estimated pr.ce given him by Off
cials Of the Home Ee. Building Assocsa-
The supreme court directed addi-
tienal testimony be taken on the
following subjects:
/. The reasonable value of home
at the time possession thereof was
taken by the defendant
2, The reasonable rental value
thereof.
3. The value of any Improvements
made on the premises by the de-
fendant since assuming possession,
and the date of such improvements.
a.. Whether or not the defendant
is a member of a Home Buyers
League, and, if so, the extent Of the
Obligations due the association from
the league of which he is a member.
The order says that "it is further
ordered that the district Judge
make appropriate findings, conclu-
sions, order for judgement and
judgment in the light Of such testi-
mony, and that all of the same be
thereafter certified to the court"
Lawyers were given leave to file
additional briefs, covering such new
matter.
If the decision Of Judge Pugh had
been upheld-that the houses should
be delivered at the verbal estimates
given the home builders-the loss
to the state from the total amount
claimed by. it would have been, ac-
cording to records Of the association
in excuse Of $171,000.
Attorney -General-elect Geo. Shat
ser, who tried the case in district
court for the state association, de-
clined to comment upon the decision,
though apparently believing the state
had gained considerable by it.

were informf''y stepping around

patches of The Associated Press
throws the first definite light on tha
method by which American influence

French attitude of the German pro

There is reason to believe iilu
previous government reports from;
Berlin are of character to justify
hope that if the French should prove
