appropriation bills. There is always
a certain element in Congress which
must be considered to provide trouble
for the more conscientious lawmakers
and test the public's patience with
Congress. 1t is the legislator who
believes in forcing his individuality
upon the country by clustering noise
rather than by constructive sugges-

'Not to his ownself tight

Not to Be Party
to Dawes Plan
President Opposed to Official
Participation in Repara.
tions Settlement; Middle
Course to Be Steered.

washington, April S.-President
Coolidge will not permit the United
States to officially become a party
to the Dawes reparations settlement
plan.
This statement was made for the
president at the close Of the meeting
with his cabinet today.
While the administration is watch.
ing the developments with keen IN
terest, and Is, of course. hopeful that
1t will result in an adjustment OF the
worlds economic ils, 1t will remain
on the outside. 1t was stated. For the
president it was said that he would
have no comment to make at this
time and 1t IL probable he will never
express an opinion.
This attitude emphasized the ex.
traordinary precautions which have
been taken by the State department
to prevent the impression getting
abroad that the Dawes commission
was working under instructions from
the United States.
At the Same time the government
has to be extremely cautious on the
other side OF the question. 1t was
pointed out that it would be equally
as harmful to American interests
should there be an impression that
the United States is trying to OBJ
struct or disapprove OF the proposal.
In view of this peculiar situation,
the most neutral course conceivable
will be followed. 1t was stated, but
one which, at the same time. must
take into consideration the vast in
terest which the United States has in

Over Depression

Money to Agricultural
a~ Organizations.
by Universal Service.

Washington. April s.-The resources
OF the War Finance corporation were
today put at the disposal Of the
northwestern farmer in an effort to
tide over the depression and put him
on the road to prosperity.
This was President Coolidge's an.
swer to pressure from congress and
rural communities that he approve
the McNary. .Haugen bill in congress
which would require 1900. 900 tc
finance. 1t is his hope that his plan
will prove successful as we'll as ac
ceptable from a political point OF
view.
Decided at Luncheon.
The decision was reached when the
president had a luncheon conference
with Eugene Meyer, jr.. head OF the
War Finance corporation. and c. T
Jaffray, OF Minneapolis. chairman OF
the board of the recently created Ag
ricultural Credit corporation. Fol
lowing the luncheon the two left I'm
mediately for Chicago 10 put the plan
In operation.
II was first suggested by the. pres
dent i'm letter TO Jaffray last week
and he came here today to work out
the details.
He is said to have assured the
president that the plan will be sue
cessful and that the government will
not lose money. as might be the case
under some of the bills now before
congress.
Secured by improvements.
All the money advanced will be se
cured by the improvements which II
is proposed to put on the farms
These will consist largely OF livestock
and the necessary equipment for the
divcrsification of crops.
While the government cannot loar
the money direct to the farmer. the
president was advised that the Wa,
Finance corporation would advances
money to organizations such as tho
Agricultural Credit corporation.
This concern already has caphal
OF si0.000.00 and is lending money
to farmers after an investigation oi
their reliability and a study OF their
needs. As this sum In exhausted, tbs
War Finance corporation will extend
chedits.
There n no limit TO be placed or
