On August %, Governor McMaster,
of South Dakota, issued the following
statement
AT a meeting with Colonel Stewart,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
and other Standard Oil Officials, held in
Pierre this morning, Mr.. Stewart ex-
pressed unqualifiedly the willingness of
Standard Oil to comply with the wishes
OF the consumers of the State of South
Dakota in so far as those wishes could
be expressed and interpreted by the
governor of this state. These Standard
officials, although they contend that the
present prices do not properly reflect
the costs of production, refining and dis
tribution, plus reasonable profit, were
willing, at my request, to do one of two
things raise the price of gasoline imme-
diately in the State of South Dakota
where it would represent a six and six
tenths cent reduction over former prices,
or maintain, for the time being, sixteen
cent gasoline in the State of South
Dakota, using Mitchell as a base.
after due consideration, the Standard
Oil officials were asked by the governor
to maintain the present price of 16 cents
for the time being. wish to accept full
responsibility for this situation and state
that Standard Oil, by deed and act, is
working in fullest cooperation with the
governor of this state and therefore can
in no respect be blamed for Is cents
gasoline from this date
Il realize that the independents who
have viciously assailed and attacked me
will raise bitter complaint against this
condition. However, after due con-
sideration and investigation, wish to
say that if the former gasoline prices of
this state were excessive, the indepen-
dents of this state were just as respons-
ible for that condition and were just as
guilty of taking excess profits as was
Standard Oil.
"At no time during the period which
former gasoline prices prevailed did any
independent of this state raise one objec-
ton or bring one complaint to this office
in an effort to bring about any reduction
in price but they were perfectly willing
to profit to the fullest extent.
81 realize that all sorts of charges will
be made against me because of this &C
ton, but in view of the fact that gasoline
can be purchased at various refneries
today for approximately seven, cents a
gallon, it will not work injury to the
public cause if the Independents are
forced for the time being to do business
on small margin of profit There is no
particular reason why the State Govern
ment should guarantee to the Independ-
ent Oil Dealers of this state, at least for
the time being, fixed profits, especially in
view of the fact that they were perfectly
willing and were a party to take ex-
cessive profits from the people"
This clearly defines the position
which the Standard Oil Company Ind
lanai has maintained throughout this
controversy.

BY CHANCELLOR

Berlin.-Chnncello Stresemann aA
n0unced here that the government had
decided to abandon passive resistance
Immediately and Internationally In the
Ruhr and Rhineland, and had ordered
resumption Of activities In all lines 1t
once.
The governments decision Is not
made conditional on the previous re-
turn Of deportees or the release Of I'M
prisoned nationals, these and other dis
puted points being left to subsequent
negotiations with the occupying pow
ers.
Thee hancellor urged the employers
to resume operations ut their plants
and mines Immediately. ana advocated
uniformity SO as to avoid Independent
action which might be detrimental to
the restoration Of economic normalcy
In the Ruhr and Rhlneland.
No announcement was Forthcoming
regarding the method which the Strese-
mann government will employ to ap-
prise the occupying powers Of Its de-
cision to call off passive resistance
without having obtained the conces-
sions which 1t had designated as indis-
pensable conditions In previous utter
ances.
Three hundred representative spokes-
men from the Ruhr and Rhineland dis
cussed passive resistance with Chancel-
lor Stresemann for five hours, then
unanimously agreed that further op-
position to the Franco-Belgian occupa.
ton was futile and that passive resist
ance as such must be abandoned.
The conference was attended by the
representatives Of all the political par
ties, labor organizations, industrialists,
civic bodies and governmental and mu-
nicipal officials connected with the
German posts, telegraphs and railway
administrations In the occupied zones.
In the course Of battle 1t sometimes
becomes necessary to surrender or
evacuate a fortress because 1t requires
too many men, too much food and too
much ammunition" observed Chancel.
lor Strasemann. In order to hold the
Ruhr and Rhineland, passive resis-
tance must now be abandoned, he de-
clared, as the nation would bleed to
death In further attempts to hold out.
DIR. Stresemann said that as the gov
ernment was unable to secure amnesty
for the imprisoned Germans, the un-
molested return Of those who had been
deported, and the restoration Of Ger
man prerogatlyes within the Ruhr and
Rhineland through advance negotia-
tions with the occupying forces, con-
tinuation of passive resistance became
purposeless and inimical to the inter-
nal and foreign situation.
London.--The recoil Of the Peoples
party, of which Chancellor Stresemann
is the leader, against the governments
decision to abandon passive resistance
has been so violent that several men,
bers Of the party already have an
nounced their withdrawal from Its
councils, says a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Berlin. The dispatch adds
that Chancellor Stresemann will al.
most certainly resign and 1t is not be-
lleved possible at the moment to find
successor who would be willing to
give effect to the governments deci-
,ion to cease passive resistance.

COLORADO PACKING coRPoR-
ALTON MAKES REPORT

DR.. A. H. Stockham returned last
week from Canon City where he had
been attending a meeting Of the ere
ditors' Committee OF the Colorado
Packing Corporation.
So many inquiries have been re-
ceived by the Committee for definite
information as to the time when dis
trfbution would be made to the ere
ditors, that the Committee decided to
make an official report.
According to the contract, the sums
borrowed must be repaid before any
distribution is made. The plant was
operated this year at profit but was
unable to realize large profits owing
to limited finance for production and
being unable to operate the plant to
full capacity.
The Committee is indebted about
SIS 900, which must be paid before
there is any distribution. Interest to
the bondholders is approximately
$28. 900. The assets of the Committee
consist OF cash on hand; accounts re.
ceivable and inventories totalling any
action which might hamper the Com.
mittee in liquidating the Indebtedness
OF the Corporation or in its plan OF
reorganization. II advises the ceas.

HONOLULU, Feb. 19.-An epidemic of petty house thievery in the Japan csc sections of Honolulu started some statistics hound on "why" hunt. His investigation developed the fact that the Japanese sleep so soundly that burglars may enter their homes, select what they want at their leisure, take nap themselves, if they are so in- clined, and leave while the departing is still good.
 MT. K Noda, a detective unidentified with the Honolulu police department, says: 'The over-exertion of the Jap anese laborers in their eagerness to increase their earnings results in a complete relaxation and sound, dream less sleep at night. Burglars prefer Japanese homes to break into, too," he continued, flor most Japanese do not take the trouble of double-locking their doors. These two circumstances are taken advantage of by thieves, who, when they enter, are free to do as they pleas"
