FRANCE WANTS
T0.PAY AMERICA
rARDlEU COMPLAINS THAT UNIT
Ed STATES Is MORE ExACTlNG
IN DEMANDS THAN ENGLAND
Debt Will Be Paid In Full II Time 10
Only Given; Common People, II 10
Declared, Want Consideration
In Time Of Stress

Paris.-France wants to and will
pay her debts to the United States.
We ask only that we be given proper
time.
Under the Versailles treaty. France
is Germany's creditor to the extent OF
$4,000 100000. which represents about
half the damages she suffered. France
has expected America to give effective
help in collecting this sum, which ia
vastly more than the 1900. 100000 she
owes America.
This help has failed us. l have new
er blamed Americas policy, but un.
Questionably its result has been to en-.
courage Germany not to pay. Since
the arms conference, we have paid out
10000 100000 francs advance on repair
atoms and in pensions. During the
same period Germany has been forced
to pay but 8.OOO. 100000 gold marks, Of
which Belgium got 2.5OO.OOO.OOO, and
France should have received 50 per
cent Of the remainder. But the occu.
patton expenses had to be reduced.
In such circumstances when debts
are mentioned we do not say we will
not pay-thAt 10 Loucheur's phrase
but We say we will pay. but are in a
delicate situation. which warrants CIV.
Ing us some consideration. Who will
say We are wrOng7
Let me recall here that It was I
who negotiated the debts contracted
by France In America from 1917 to
1919. When the money was lent NO
date for repayment was fixed, because
1t was recognized the future could not
be known with cerainty. However,
everybody at that time said that, and
believed. Germany. when conquered,
would be obliged to pay.
Such, at any rate. has been the com.
mon mans impression in France. lie
has said. 1T was not necessary" She
has never said 1--WE will not pay" EIo
has said I'VE have not been helped to
collect what is due us. but they hasten
to demand that which we owe" That
IL my country's true sentiment, and
you Americans must understand it rs
1t IL. for there Is nothing which threa.
tens your interests or your sentiments.
With our S3O,OOO.OOO francs debt,
with 10000. 100000 already spent In
Germany's place-leaving 5O.OOO,OOO.-
600 remaining to he spent in the sam,
directiOn-we are entitled to be treat.
ed with certain consideration by our
friends.
This consideration IL all that we ask
and all that we will take.

BIG LOAN SOUGHT
TO BUILD Tunnel
RECEIVER DESIRES TO COMPLETE
RAILWAY LINE INTO UINTA
BASIN, UTAH; ASKS LOAN
Fifty Billion Tons Of Bituminous Coal
Will Be Brought Forth BY
Completion Of Proposed
Road Building

WashingtOn,-The Denver & Salt
Lake Railroad company applied Mon
day to the interstate commerce COM
mission for a government loan of &c.
$4,000 with which to construct tun-
mel six miles long on a portion Of the
road about 10 miles west of Denver.
The receivers of the Denver & Salt
Lake railroad, iu arguing for grant of
the loan, declared the proposed tun.
mel would eliminate "grave and serious
difficulties" which they now have to
face In operating the railroad, which
climbs to 11.6OO feet above sea, level.
The tunnel would allow them to re-
duce the highest elevation on the rail-
road to 919O feet, and would eliminate
twenty-seven miles of per cent grade
over which their locomotives now have
to climb in winter with rotary snow
plows in front every day to maintain
operations.
If the money Is granted, the re-
ceivers added, the line can be compile
ted to its projected terminus at Salt
Lake City, and coal field estimated to
contain 5O,OO0.OOO.OOO tons of b!tumin-
Gus coal can be adequately served.
The receivers estimated that the low.
or operating charges and the increased
efficiency attained by long tunnel at
the summit would result Immediately
In an increase Of 200 per cent in the
traffic. Also very large area of ;Mlo.
RADIO now without railroad service, aud
much Of it government land, the mppli-
cation said. would be made available
for settlement.

CASH FEATURE 'Ufzs
BONUS ELIMINATED
FORMER SOLDIERS WILL BE ABLE
TO BORROW FIFTY PER CENT
ON CERTIFICATE
Agreement 10 Reached % a. to Enable
Soldier to Receive Cash on Ger.
tlfieate Where Set Sum 10
Not Exceeded

Observation-Disclosures agreement
to eliminate the cash feature Of the
soldiers bonus except In the case of
men whose adjusted service pay would
not exceed $50 was reported Thursday
by the special subcommittee Of Repub-
lcan members of the house ways and
means committee to which the whole
bonus question was referred.
In lieu of cash for the other service
men 1t was agreed td add a new pro-
vision to the bonus bill under which
the men accepting adjusted service
certificates could borrow Immediately
on those certificates from banks sum
equal to so per cent Of the total adjust
ed service pay, computed at the rate of
81 day for domestic service and $1.25
q day for foreign service.
This official statement Of the agree
ment Of the subcommittee w6s issued
by Chairman Fordney: ri
.The subcommittee. consisting Of
Chairman FOrdney, .Messrs. Green.
Longworth, Hawley, Treadway and
Copley have tentatively agreed upon
and prepared provision to be sub
mitted which in substance is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE elimination Of the cash feature
of the bonus bill where the veterans
are entitled to more than $50 adjusted
service pay. but adding new loan pro-
vision to the adjusted service certid-
cate title, which will enable holders Of
such certificates to borrow from any
national bank or bank or trust COM
pany Incorporated under the laws Of
any state. so per cent Of the sum Of
the adjusted service pay prior to Sep
tember 30. 1925. This date was flxed
because after that time the bill ~
originally drafted by the committee
provides for a larger percentage Of
loan by the government and has not
been changed by the subcommittee"
Chairman Fordney said this plan was
expected to meet with general ap.
proval, since it enabled the soldiers
who may be in need to obtain cash i'm.
mediately after the issuance Of the
certificates; would relieve the treasury
Of any large cash payment during the
enormous refunding operations which
must be carried out in the next two
years and would place no additional
tax burden upon the public.
Governor Harding of the federal re-
serve hoard was before the subcommit-
tee Tuesday discussing the interest and
other questions. 1t was suggested that
the interest rate should not exceed a
figure greater than 2 per cent above
the rediscount rate Of the regional re-
serve banks.
Under another tentative provision
being considered the title to the GER
tificates could not be disposed Of by
the service men. the idea being, Mr..
Fordney explained, to prevent the Ger
tlAcates from falling into the hands Of
loan sharks.
It was explained that the $50 cash
payment was returned In the bill be-
cause the men entitled to only this
amount undoubtedly would prefer the
cash to 2Oyear certificate.

A True Fish Story

Joe Calm, Nick Larson, Arithmetic
Olson and Leonard Faulhaber of Bert
hold community went to the Yellow
stone park last week on a fishing
hunt. They arrived at the hotel which
butts up against the east side of back
bone Of the nation (as the hobo would
say), each took a walk on the big log
which rests along the eastern side OF
the depot. This to determine whether
their nerves were playing radicalism
or raa"t'~yoor-,, f'h~ -'"~t ,,,,o-,s
affirmative. Next they registered, at
tains and over the hills to the lakes
which abound in big fsh-the big biz
kind. Just as Art was sauntering
along the waters edge Of the lake
which was supposed to contain the
whoppers, and as he stopped down to
test the tepidness Of the liquid ale,
the real old king fish raised his head
and grabbed his hand and then began
to flirt water into Arts face, while
Art screamed for help, Leonard grab

grabbed his left leg, Nick ran up and
locked his legs around the trunk of a

and Leonard tucked their heads to one
Eside and found protruding ,ledges of
rock against which they anchored their
bodies. The tug of war was on. Nick
having the topmost hold became the
captain of the land side, while the
king fish just laughed at his advers-
aries. ~ 3s@
"Heave to" shouted Nick and began
to struggle which only annoyed the
fish. Then the fish began to "heave
to-" Art was as slender as twine
string, Leonard and Joe had their
faces almost buried in the cliff of
rocks, while Nick was stretched out
to 13 feet, six inches in length, when
all at once the tree began to break,
the rocks began to. move, great
crash roared out as the whole hillside
moved towards the stream, as the fish
was scoring, when the lakes mouth
opened, and the boys were seeing
many PAGES into the future, and think

many friends back in Berthold, and
their big potato crops and wheat fields
and ball games that they had wit

CLYDE B. Nelson, who has been in
charge Of the U. S. employment Of
fee in Minot, received the following
telegram from G.. e. Tucker, of Fargo,
in. charge Of the North Dakota dis
trict, this morning:
"Governor Nestos and County
Agent Leader John Haw have put or
ganization in field to handle harvest
labor distribution. Instructing our
Minneapolis representative to disre-
gard orders from Fargo office for
men. Have no alternative but to dis
continue your appointment as special
agent after Aug. 3, and withdraw
from state"
Mr.. Nelson informs the Independ-
ent that this came as a sudden blow
as he has his office working very ef-
fectively and large number Of good
harvest hands are arriving in Minot
daily, due to the cheap railroad rates
effective between Aug. and Is. Two
car loads of harvest hands arrived in
Minot on 1O5 on the 500 yesterday.
Mr.. Nelson states that with his office
out of commission there will be made
quate facilities for distributing these
men.
According to the telegram, the six
employment offices at Minot, Fargo
Oakes, Bismarck, Devils Lake and
Grand Forks will be put out Of busi-
ness.
Mr.. Nelson does not know whether

ORDERS RECEIVED TO CLOSE
q FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT OFFICE

there has been any friction between
the federal department and the state
officials concerning the work Of get
ting in these harvest hands, but fears
that there has.
Mr.. Nelson telephoned Governor
Nestos today and was informed that
some difficulty had developed between
the state department and Mr.. Tucker,
who was attempting to withdraw all
federal employment offices from the
state. At the time the Governor went
to St. Paul to arrange for the cheap
railroad rates, everything appeared to
be running smoothly between the
state and federal departments. The
Governor wired Washington last
night, asking if Tucker has authority
to withdraw the office from the state,
but had received no reply this morn
ing. He will wire again. If the fed
eral offices are removed, the Governor
states that the work will be carried
on in some manner thru the office Of
Commissioner Of Agriculture and
Labor Kitchen. In the meantime, Mr..
Nelson states that he will keep his
office in Minot in operation.

Farmers Protest Against Rye
--- Threshing Prices

Farmers generally are protesting
against paying IA cents per bushel
for threshing rye. The market price
for rye today in Minot is 81 cents per
bushel and the present threshing pric-
es figure nearly one-third of what
the farmer can get for his rye. The
rye crop will not begin to pay ex-
penses, even with Is bushel crop at
present prices if the price of the land
is taken into consideration and even
counting the bare expenses, it will
not make them any money>to speak Of.
Farmers claim the rye will thresh
more easily than the wheat and GER
tain localities are talking of banding
together, and induce outside threshing
rigs to come in offering them a large
acreage if the price can be reduced to
II or IL cents.
