MEET OBLIGATIONS
Although Millions Still Unpaid,
Farmers Striving to
Clear Debts.

Although many millions OF dollars
are still owed by farmers in the west
who have settled on the twenty-four
reclamation projects operated by the
Interior Department, and many of the
projects have gone far beyond the
original estimate OF their cost, there
is no disposition on the part Of the
farmers to repudiate their debts, the
Interior Department announced today.
Farmers have expressed no desire
to avoid paying the money due eithe
for the cost OF construction or the
operation and maintenance Of the
various projects.
In the future. the commission now
investigating the reclamation projects
has decided. the government must
adopt an entirely new attitude and
new method in handling the projects
needs of the settlers were outlined to-
day as absolutely essential.
They are: First. consideration must
be given the farmers: they must be
taught intensive cultivation of their
small farms: they must be Instructed
and using water: they must be ap-
prtsed of the proper products to raise;
they must be warned against crops
for which no market will be avatla.
BILE and for which the freight rates
are prohibitive; they must be- assist
ed In diversifying crops. and in mar
ketinC them so they may receive q
be helped SO they shall be able to
make sufficient money annually to re-
turn the money due the government,
and their farms must be electrified.

THE farm movement will never be
able to secure the type OF legisla-
ton needed to encourage agricultural
progress until there is some kind OF
unity of viewpoint as well AS unity
OF solution OF rroblems among farm
leaders themselves.
Farm leaders must learn to dis
.inEulsh problems essentially eco
nomic in character from problems
that are primarily political In char
acter.
There should be some emphasis on
the fact that the United States gov
crnment has consistently announced
as a policy the encouragement OF CO.
operative marketing associations. In
such work the chief statement Of the
policy is in the so-called Capper-
Volstead act. giving the stamp OF alb
solute approval to these cooperative
marketing associations. President al
ter President has announced a similar
attitude. The United States govern
ment has committed itself to this
policy, and every branch of the gov
eminent. administrative and fegisla-
tive. should lend every effort to help
these co.operatiYes achieve success"

GANDHI DEPLORES HIS
LIBERTY FOR ILLNESS
BY the Associated. Press.

BY the Associated. Press.
BOMBAY, February S.-Mohandas
Gandhi has written a letter in which
he expresses regret that the Bombay
government released him from prison
owing to illness. because he does not
regard the illness of prisoner as
affording grounds for liberation.
His release. he says. has not brought
him relief because he Is overwhelmed
with q sense OF the responsibility
which he is not At now to discharge.
Two years Of solitude and hard
thinking. he says. have convinced him
of the necessity for a construction
program. in the prosecution Of which
the people need never resort to civil
disobedience. although his belief in
the latter plan has not weakened.
'The EngIishmen also are friends:
don't treat them as enemies" he
writes. The struggle against the
system for which the British gov
ernment stands is not against the
Englishmen who are administering
the system. Those who fail to bear
in mind this distinction harm the
cause" The letter was sent to the
president Of the national congress-.

IN Relief ACTIVITIES

Canada will hereafter share to q
much larger degree the burden of
relief work in the near east, borne

past six years, according to terms of
an agreement reached between the

and the Armenian Relief Fund of Can
ada
Charles v. vickrey, general secre-
.tary Of the Near East Relief declared

mated for either are to be shared

Explains Type Difference.
He explained that his committee
had not yet conferred-with Chairman
MacFadden Of the House banking and
currency committee regarding the
appointment of a subcommittee which
would secure possession Of the can
celed bonds at the Union Trust Com
pany. This is due to the fact that
Representative MacFadden is out of
the city. but Mr. Kings committee ex-
poets to confer with them on Monday.
Secretary Mellon, answering one Of
the charges made by Brewer, declared
today the difference in type and style
1r,w q
addition OF new numbering machines
to the bureau equipment during the
war. When the great rush of bond
issues forced the bureau during the
war to expand its equipment sud-
denly. new machines had to be pur-
chased quickly, and the Treasury was
unable to obtain machines OF the
same construction as those in use.
The bureau equipment had been
altered little In thirty years, prior to.
of equipment had been standardized
so that when the eXigency arose the
Treasury failed to find equipment
fitted with the same type ana style
of numerals and characters carried
by the old machines.
Brewer Lists Charges.
Brewer. among his conclusions from
his Investigations, as. set forth In
documents before the court said:
"There are between ABOUT o,oVO
known pairs Of duplicate bonds and
about 4, 1000 known pairs of duplicate
coupons. Duplicates are still coming
in.
THAT duplicates are being held By
parties with guilty knowledge await
ing destruction of the bonds which
would prove their duplication. :.
That much that could be told has
been held back by employees who fear
the consequences.
THAT Treasury officials from the
start have given no real effort to Of
flcfaily determine the course of duplica-
tfon; that some impelling motive has
caused them to intimidate employees.
to Join other enemies of the writer
in other war fraud cases who are Of
f1cially on record as seeking his dis
charge for two years; and to attack
him themselves in the public press:
and to falsely assail his honor in the

Explaining the law, Mr.. Burke said
that the bureau had supervision over
all Indian estates in Oklahoma except
those OF the Five Civilized Tribes, and
in cases of large restricted Indian
estates the owners are declared in
competent and guardians appointed
by the state.
I'VE feel" said Mr.. Burke. that the

the Oklahoma senators and represent

Commissioner Burke called atten-

The general turmoil existing in
the state, and the constant plundering
of public funds by those who con-
license to take everything In sight; !;
the dissipation Of estates by the APP
pointment of one or more guardians
or administrators without business
experience and wholly incapable Of

the appointment by the court of two

tors in the faithful, proficient per

1T Is to be hoped that present con-

Earded as unpleasant history to

that when we meet again we may
point with pride to a state of pros
