business before the cabinet was the

of Belgium as far as passive resis-

Ruhr occupation are concerned.
The diplomatic correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph summarized the

tN t'T"F uItIF
Believes. Special Session
Should be Called to Fix
Minimum Price on Wheat
GIVES SITUATION VIEWS
Conceded That Agriculture Is
in Need of Stimulus, Gov
ernor Says

Belief that President Harding
should call a special session of Con.
gress which might accomplish good
for the Northwest is expressed by
Governor r. A. Nestos of North Da.
kota in a letter to the nations chief
executive. Governor Nestos favors
fixing Of minimum price on wheat,
In a statement issued today upon
inquiry as to Whether or not he
would attend pricc-fixing meeting
called at Lidgerwood, Governor Nes-
tos said:
'"It is conceded by everybody that
agriculture is our fundamental in
dustry and that any seeming prosper
ity which has come to our industrial
and economic life generally, cannot
last where it is accompanied by a
bankrupt condition Of our American
farmers. Unless a reasonable ,nlea-
sure Of prosperity also becomes the
lot Of the farmer and thus restores
his purchasing power, the closing of
our factories, lack If employm ent
for labor, and the failure of industry
Is inevitable and the crash will be an
appalling one.
1T Is. also conceded that the con-
dition Of our agriculture, and more
especially of our whea, raisers, is
most deplorable and that unless some
effective relief can be brought with
out delay, disaster to our economic
structure must result. But while
this is conceded, there seems to have
been a disposition, aside from the
granting Of improved forms of credit,
to view the situation helplessly and
merely to hope that something will
Just happen to restore the prosperity
OF the farmer. and to claim that
nothing can be done by legislation to
give him price for his product that
will pay the farmer reasonable wages
for his labor and a fair return on
his investment. Yet. It is becoming
more and more apparent. it seems to
me, that II we are going to wait un-
til prosperity is restored by the
working out of economic laws alone. |
without legislative aid, that hundreds
Of thousands Of our farmers will be |
forced into bankruptcy and driven |
from their lands with great injustice |
to them and great loss to our ma
tional economic life.
1T seems to me, that if congress |
we're called in extra session that It
should be possible to work out some
solution Of this problem that would
give the farmer, without delay, such |.

It possible to bridge over the gap
until improved economic conditions
should restore the purchasing power
of the farmers dollar. OF course. I
llso- realize, that we want to be sure
hat the legislation enacted will real

efforts to help we may sometimes
