not like this sloppy sentimentalism on the part of humble honest Danes. A section of the press reminds the public that the invasion of the Ruhr has sobered the arrogance which Ger man elements in iSlesvig have been showing to Denmark. It also gives striking evidence that bitter war against Danism is still raging in reac tionary circles of Germany. The Danish recovery, after the war, of part of the old crownland of Slesvig. which the Germans had taken away many years ago, is at the bottom of this ill feeling.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April i1 Possibility of the development into reality of the dream of the late Paris Gibson, formerly United States Senator, friend of James J.. Hill and founder of Great Falls, that Montana might become a pro- ducer of rion and steel, is seen by residents of Great Falls in the pres ence here of E. F. Mclaughlin of Roanoke, Va, and P II. Conner, representatives of a large Virginia iron company.
 Iron ore in the Little Belt noun tains> was discovered in the latter sos. Senator Gibson. with lieu land scrip givne him for the pur- pose by James J. Hill. came out from St. Paul and took up the tract on which he laid out the city of Great Falls. The iron ore and the eontiguity of coal deposits offered the possibility cf a new Pittsburgh in the west, according to Senator Gibson.
 When Senator Gibson died two years ago it was found that he had bought patents to several thousand acres of iron ore lands near Stan- ford, Mont. The deposit, which has been surveyed and described in a publication of the United States Geological Survey, runs fifty miles cast and west in the Little Belt mountains.

and conservative Germans is due to
different motives. The French fear
that if real trouble is allowed to de-
velop the consequences might tend
to compromise the Germans improved
attitude toward the occupying
forces, which the French believe has
improved greatly in recent days. The
French cite the daily increase in the
number of German passengers on
French trains and the almost COM
pIete cessation of sabotage
The German attitude. however. is
that if real trouble arose through
German initiative, no matter how
much condemned by the better ele-
ments, the French and Belgians might
seize upon it as warranting the clos
ing of the frontier again and impos-
ing further penalties. thus hindering
the German program of passive re-
Sistance.
Leading Germans contend that the
cessation of sabotage and the patron
age of French trains are no indica-
ton that passive resistance is break
sistance now is really becoming pas
sive for the first time, just as they
intended it should be. They say that
they have always been the first to
condemn sabotage. because it was
really active resistance.
The decision of the Ruhr industrial
organizations to adjust the workers
wages, two or even three times a
week, if necessary, was announced
today. This will be done because of
the depreciation of the mark, and it
will help to take the sting out of

BROOKHART READY

Senator Proposes to Drive
All Standpatters From
Big Committees.

to clean every standpatter off Of

don't care what party label he
wears" Senator Smith w. Brook
hart of Iowa, shouted to a grand
stand full of members of the Iowa
Farmers Union. their wives and chill
dren, assembled on the Fair grounds
here for a state picnic of that order.
Making the most of lulis in the
whirr of low flying airplanes, squeal-
Ing balloons and the shouts OF the
cold drink peddlers, Senator Brook
hart managed to make heard a re-
tions during his recent tour Of seven
teen European countries.
clipped on to Big Business..
Senator Brookhart retraced the his
tory of the collapse of agricultural
prices in 1920, and reiterated that the
restriction of credit which hit the
farmer to the tune of several billions
OF dollars had been tipped off to most
Dig business interests and that big
business did not fail to take advan-
tage of the tip.
Il know one Iowa congressman who
bought $4,000 OF the loan fioated by
Armour d Co. on the strength of that
tip, and he still has it," Brookhart
declared.
The greatest agricultural panic
in history followed that fatal meeting
OF the Federal Reserve Board" he
shouted. DO you farmers want me
to let the government sit idly by and
see that same thing repeated against
YOU? You have as good right to
the advantages of a government
marketing agency which will make
1t possible for you to collect the cost
or production and a reasonabl profit
Tor your crops as the steel trust has
to have its profits protected by the
government. 1t was a governmental
agency, the board of which met in
secret session May Is, 1920, and de-
cided to debate you, but not to let
you know anything about It,"
Only Immediate Remedy.
Senator Brookheart declared he
did not know whether there would
be special session Of Congress, but
said that the only immediate remedy,
and it is only temporary one,
for the present impending peril to
agriculture lies in that special ses-
sion.''
He declared that the only per-
manent remedy is to put three farm
ers and two labor representatives
on the federal reserve board and
to promote the cooperative system

JOHNSON CRITICISM
SURPRISES EUROPE
Warm and Friendly Toasts
Abroad Aroused Hope of
Senator's Support.
BY WILBUR FORREST.

By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune
Copyright, 1928.
PARIS, July IS Senator Hiram
Johnson's blastful conclusion on re-
turning to the United States and
speaking at a banquet in his honor
after months of on-committal ST.
lence in Europe, to the effect that
| America is better off resting in isola-
tion than mixing in the European
mess comes as a sad disillu usionment
to the prominent politicians and per-
sonalities who acted as the California
senator's host while he was in Paris.
Very warm toasts were exchanged
after many lunches and dinners at
the French capital. and one promi-
nent politician was known to have
exchanged embraces with Hiram at
the end of one of the warm and
friendly toasts offered by the ire
concilable.
Senator Johnson said many won
derful things about the rights and
the heroism of the French. To the
British he exposed deep views on
Unemployment, on finance and on
world trade. Mussolini he congratu-
lated on his firmness and the Pope on
| his pure love of peace.
Expected Something Different.
| Johnson's New York blast, there
fore, occasioned extreme disappoint-
rnent to his French hosts. who had
| been patiently awaiting. perhaps just
| like those in other European CAPT
] tails, for something different.
| To quote one mild critic. Johnson
| spoke like an inspector who had Wis.
tied boys school and reported to
! the directors that the boys were very
| turbulent, giving the teachers much
i trouble but no reason for anxiety. and
| the boards interference was unnec-
| essary. because that is the nature of
| boys. and they will wind up satisfac-
torily in the long run.
! Senator Johnson's analysis of Eur
| ope, with France viewing Great Bri-
| tain as a deserter and England view
| ing France as an exploiter and all
other continental nations Ill a state
or disquietude which American judge s
OF the high court of Justice could not
| change. and since Caesar, Charla-
magne. Napoleon and Lloyd George
has remained unchanged, reminds the
| erstwhile Partisan hosts of the sena-
! tor. who looked for platitudinous
| praise, that the speaker painted q
| picture of Europe which is not very
| far from the truth.
Attitude Toward England.
F! 1t is pointed out in Paris that SEN
| ator Johnson after all did not long
dwell on lambasting France. but,
s., what is favorable to French ears, he
! did dwell long and hard on England
| While many fail TO agree on the
! conclusion that American interfer-
| ence would be useless. they have sell
! dom had a more vivid portrait Of
/ Europe painted by any American
l statesman or historian, which finds
| its subjects-or the French part
! thereof-fairly willing to agree tnat
it is a good likeness. And the
French readily agree that Johnson s
| picture of England is good like
| ness.

orators have broken off negotiations
for new wage scale.
Feeling that neither miners nor op-
orators are actually willing at the
moment to take a final stand, which
would bring about a strike, commits
sion members are said to believe that
a waiting policy is likely to find the
conferees back in conference Of their
own accord. 1t also Is pointed out
that more than a month must elapse
before any strike could actually go
into effect.
Officially, the commission yesterday
withheld any statement. After putting
in several hours in executive discussion
of the situation, it took up other por-
tions Of its task of investigating the
industry. While all of the serious po-
tentialities of the anthracite break are
in the minds of the commission, there is
a belief that the temperament of par
ties to the dispute and other factors
makes it less likely that strike will
actually eventuate than some observers
predict.
There are positive intimations, how
ever. that if the break continues the
commission will intervene, though it's
authority under the present law is
strictly limited. The first move would
be moderately phrased request for the
leaders in the industry to resume discus
sion upon the wage contract. What
