ADJUSTING OF
ACREAGEHELD
FARMERS NEED
With Cooperative Marketing
1t Offers Best Hope for
Future, Says Meyer
ASKS SOUND POLICY
Directors of War Finance
Corporation Report to Coo
lidge After Long Trip

Washington, Nov. 5.-Co-operativt
marketing and ready adjustment OF
acreage to conditions of the world
production were recommended as
promising the only permanent solu-
ton of The wheat problem In a report
submitted to President Coolidge by
the War Finance Corporation inves-
tigators who recently toured the
wheat areas at his request.
Urging the maintenance of "a
thoroughly rational attitude" in
dealing with Nnc problem the report
submitted by Directors Eugene Mey-
er, Jr., and Frank Mondell discussed
numerous other proposals presented
during the study but which they
found generally either unsound or
to offer no permanent solution.
The proposals advanced in the re-
port already have been discussed by
the two officials with Mr.. Coolidge
and may form the basis Of an admin
istration policy on the question.
Cooperative marketing associa-
tions "organized along sound lines
and with competent management and
business guidance" the report said,
"offer. at the present time in our
opinion more promise of helpful re-
suits than any other plan or pro-
gram that has been suggested. They
can de- what the spcculator cannot
with safety be relied on to do. They
can by orderly marketing, regulate
the flow of wheat SO that supply is
adjusting from time to time to con-
sumptive demands.
"With the changed condition in
Europe, with the European dealers
and millers carrying only a small
percentage Of their normal pre-var
stocks and with the speculator un-
able or unwilling to carry wheat in
sufficient volume the producer must
organize to carry it himself"
Added to this conclusion wGs the
other that there must be adjust
ment of production to American
needs if the world market is over
supplied"
Chief among the causes of de-
preston among. the wheat farmers
were found to be the local tax bur-
dens, the scarcity and high cost Of
labor and existing freight rates on
grain. As measure TO relieve the
first it was recommended that tax
exempt securities be abolished and
the higher brackets of the federal
income surtaxes which were held to
encourage investors to place money
in such securities, be reduced. The
tax exNnpt securities, the report
said, had encouraged states, coun-
ties and municipalities to "make ex-
travagant expenditures"

Grounds of Humanity Chosen
BY Secretary to Cut the
Red Tape

New York. Nov. 5.-Four thousand
aliens facing deportation because the
immigration quotas were exhausted
began landing atethis port today.
Their release was ordered by Sec
retary J. J. Davis who last night cut
the red tape which threatened to
send thousands back across the sea
without an examination. The de-
cision to land the 1000 immigrants
on parole was made on the grounds
Of humanity, Commissioner Curran
announced after conference with
Mr.. Davis yesterday. An attempt
would be made to admit them as
soon as possible, he said.
OF the 1000 immigrants who faced
deportation, 1,367, mostly British,
arrived on the sLeviathan, the largest
American steamship. Foreign gov
ernments were blamed for the situa-
tion by Secretary Davis who said
congestion would be avoided if pass
ports were limited to the number
fixed in the American quota law.

Profits Made Under Manage

Banks in Better Condition
NOW SHOWS PROFIT

The Bank of North Dakota has
moved from the deficit side of the
ledger to the profit side, according
to the monthly balance sheet of the
bank as OF November /. The books
OF the bank now show profit of
$12,717OO.
When the bank was taken under
the management of C. r. Green on
December Is, 1921. 1t showed a de-
ficft on its books, according to the
audit OF Bishop, Brissman and
Company Of &349,377.07, of which
$141 1.O59.00 was charged as deficit
and the balance as interest earn

charged off the banks books as un-
collecttble.
There has been steady decrease
In the dtficit on the books of thc
bank under Mr.. Green's manage
ment. The last public statement
as Of September 8, 1923, showed
net loss over earnings OF $3S,356.64
The statement of the bank as ut
September showed that the fol
lowing items were carried as re

closed, $410,296.65; receivers GER

The items are carried as resources
since no final settlement has been
possible, nor can the items be
charged off because a total loss is
not expected. y
The fact that the bank now
shows profit on its books in
comparison to a huge deficit when
MIR. Green took over the manage
ment of the bank is declared by
state Officials to be tribue to the
management of the institution un.
der Mr.. Green.
The profits of the bank which
have offset the deficit have arisen
from the usual course of business
and a part Of it from premiums on
bond sales:

ed Mr.. Rothschiler at the Mckenzie
hotel Saturday night. Eighty men
and women from this and other

citation, would show the relief pic
lures which he presented at the Au-
ditorium Saturday night, in other
cities Of the state on invitation.
The association, in coilinuing its
work, will distribute gik5s chiefly

tent of relief of the association. -.
Many See Pictures
An audience that filled the audi
torium listened to the lecture and
saw the pictures by Mr.. Rothschiller
Saturday night. The evenings pro-
gram opened with pictures of the
vessel on which Mr.. Rothschiller
sailed to Europe, and continued
through Europe, first showing a few
points in England, and then passed
On into Germany, Austria, and Rus
sia.
An intimate picture of living con-
ditions in Europe, particularly of the
life of the children in Europe were
shown. The orphanages, the schools
in the forests, the hospitals, and
even pictures of harvest scenes in
Germany were thrown upon the
screen. Many Of these apparently
were familiar to the audience for
gasps of "ah, and oh, isn't that ma
tural, or that's just like remem-
ber" were heard in the audience.
Described Scenes
As the pictures were thrown upon
the screen Mr.; Rothschiller describ-
ed the scenes which he had seen and |
told of the depreciation of the value !
Of the mark and ruble even while he !
visited in Europe.
He begged that the people of this |
country do everything they could to
alleviate the suffering of the Rus
slams, the Germans, and the middle |
Europeans whom he visited and
found in dire poverty. He also spoke
feelingly of the heartfelt thanks ex-
pressed by the Europeans for the
stock and money which they had al
ready sent them as relief.

This development indicating an en-

than risk diplomatic isolation. Hith-
er-to-fore both Belgium and Italy

worst on his trip. He left Bismarck
October 3, 1922 and arrived Novem-
Der 3, 1923-wai absent 13 months.
During that time he distributed
100000 worth of footstuffs and
clothing either given as such as pur-
chased with funds of the North Da-
kota Relief Association. He visited
Germany, Russia, Hungary, Czccho-
Slovakia, Roumania, Poland.
Right now, he said, Germany was
in the worst way of any country in
Europe. Hungary and Aultria are
bad and so is Russia. Czecho-Slova-
kia, born of the war, Boumania and
Poland arc in better shape-they
have all the foodstuffs they need,
Mr.. Rothschiller said.
Nows The Time to Help
Mr.. Rothschiler hopes to see Ger
many given American aid.
"Now is the time they need help"
he said. "There is lots of unem-
ployment. The factories can't buy
raw materials--they haven't the
money. A man who has two or three
children can hardly earn enough to
buy them bread"
When Mr.. Rothschiller landed in
Germany he received 100000 marks
for one American dollar, When he
left the quotation, was one billion
marks for one dollar. 1t is the de-
probation of the mark that has
wrecked havoc on Germany, he said.
Mr.. Rothschiller was in the Ruhr,
1Re present storm center or Ger
My. He did distribute clothing
ahd other necessaries in Berlin,
Hamburg and other places. He
thinks that France will not collect
reparations from Germany, for the
industrial life has been squeezed out
of her.
Russia, in the opinion of Mr.. Roth
schiller, will recuperate rapidly. He
thinks that Trotsky and other lead
ers of the Soviet mean all right, but
said that hundreds of misfits had
crept into power in the revolution,
and that it was the lesser officers
that caused terror and misery.
II didn't hear much talk against
the government-they're afraid to
talk" he remarked. /
Suffering In Russia
He saw a great deal of suffering !
in Russia. he said-people with moth
ing to eat, no clothing. American
aid, he said, had won the everlasting
gratitude of the Russian people. The !
Russians, since their good crop this |
year, have helped the Germans, he
said. It is because they were helped
when they were. hungry and not for
political reasons, he said.
Many Russian hospitals are with
out medicine, he said. Even in one +
hospital he saw children lying on
straw mattresses, without beds.
During his long trip Mr.. Rothschil-
ler showed moving pictures of North
taken by the North Dakota
immigration department. On his re-
turn to Bismarck he lectured in
N. j. and St. Paul.
Carl Wishek of Ashley accompani-
ed him on the trip. They separated
after they came out of Russia, where
they were for four months, Mr.. Wis
hex going to Germany to visit rela-
lives and Mr.. Rothschiller going to
Hungary.
Predicts Immigration
Mr.. Rothschiller declared that the
United States was the promised land
1t this time, and he predicted big
immigration to North Dakota not on
y from thrifty people abroad but
from the east, from sections where
,e showed the moving pictures of
he North Dakota Immigration De-
'artment.
