to the home Of his father who has now
attained the age of IS years and is a
retired farmer residing at the home Of
his brother Other relatives were al
so visited in the Dalarne provinces.
Mr.. Ray also visited a nephew who is
teacher at Unsala University. Mr..

he was recognized. Mr. Ray spent

1t has been thirty years since Mr..
Ray lett his native land OF Sweden.
He found conditions greatly changed.
Indeed Sweden Of today is not the
Sweden OF the yesterday Of the early
immigrants to this country.
Sweden today is suffering under the
burden OF economic depression with
thousands Of her citizens idle and in.
dustry in the main at a standsti!l The
nation is passing thru one Of the dark
est periods Of her history financially
Taxes are bearing heavily on the PEG
pie and the wealthy in particular are
being required to pay excessive sums
toward the government The poorer
classes and those without enp!cyme lt
are unable 10 meet the tax demands
and consequently those Of means ara
forced to pay greater amounts to the
government. The government on ths
other hand is doing its utmost TO cope
with the situation. Road work on ;
large scale is being done to furnish
WORK for the idle.

All the seamen are added to the idl

caiyad from foreign buyers for tn

RlANl Il FALLS !.
AN EASY VICTIM
Willmar City Team Runs Away
With Visitors With Score Of "
40 to l6 !

sS The Granite Falls basket: ball. five
proved an easy opponent at the game
played last Friday evening in the To-
cal gymnasium. The blast of the
whistle at the close Of the fourth qutr-
ter was the only thing which pre-,
vented Willmar, from piling UP: a much
larger score, than its huge lead Of "a
points. The final score was 40 to ,16
and points clearly to the fact that
Willmar had everything her own. way
on the floor that evening.
This victory is significant fact.
Granite Falls is assfast team with "a
4 big pedigree. They have won II out
Of 13 games and defeated practically
everything down in their part Of the
state. For Willmar to so snow them
under points to the local city team as
one which is steadily coming into
form to be feared by other fves in
the state.
The team this year made a rather
disheartening beginning but are now
rounding into such shape that local
fans are becoming quite enthusiastic.

The results are not binding on those

Parliament's Views on Ger

PARIS Halls POINCARE
Proclaims Him Nations Hope
Preparations Commissions
Decision Awaited.

Special Cable to THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1929. by THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Dureau,l
Paris, Aug. Is.
In well informed circles tonight it
was asserted that Premier Theunys Of
Belgium is working for another con-
ference in Brussels in the immediate
future. at which the chief subject OF
discussion will be allied debts and
their effect upon reparations.
France and Belgium will make un-
usual efforts to obtain American as
sistancc at this conference by pledging
that no decisions shall be taken, but
declaring that II is necessary to hold
heart to heart talk on the sole sub
ject likely to solve the European prob
lem.
1t is understood that Premier Poin-
care intends to prepare new note to
the allied Governments and the United
States tomorrow, wherein he will ex-
plain in full the French point Of view
as presented in London, intending thus
to Offset British criticism that his in
transigent baked the solution of prob
lens there.
French circles in favor of strict OBJ
servance of the Versailles treaty are
pressing NJ Poincare to demand i'm
mediately that the Preparations COM
mission declare Germany in default,
and thereby enable penalties to be en-
forced at once. That is considered un-
likely as NJ. Poincare has promised
that he would not take any definite
action without asking the approval o.
Parliament. 1t IS moro probable that
he viii ask the Cabinet tomorrow.
with President Millerand present. to
recall Parliament before the end OF the
month, possibly on the 27th He Is
likely to cndcavor to hold up until then
any decision by the Reparations Com
mission on the question Of Germany's
demand for moratorium.
Poincare's Great Reception.
Whether Parliament will stand firm
in support of the Premier In his atti-
that the Partisan public met NJ. Poin-
care this afternoon upon his arrival at
the Care du Nord with a greater pop
ular demonstration than has ever been
armistice
For ten minutes thousands in the
station and the adjoining streets
cheered "vive Poincare!" "Vive la
Francew You did wellv You are
the hope of France :" And as he pro-
ceeded thence along the streets leading
to the Quai dOrsay, he was constantly
cheered.
1t is not likely that the Preparations
Commission will take any decision until
NJ. Dubois. its president. receives formal
instructions from NJ. Poincare. But 1t
is predicted that IL M. Dubois feels that
IL the commissions sentiment is against
the French thesis. he will resign, thus
holding up for while the entire dis
posai of the moratorium question. Incl
dentally this would be beneficial TO Ger
many for the time being, while 1t would
not hamper NJ. Poincare In his efforts
to rally Belgium and Italy to his sup
port.
