GOOD CROPS IN
STATE CUTTING
LOAN DEMANDS
Decrease in Applications For
Farm Loans to State Re-
fleets Improvement
SEE CONTINUATION
Expected That Further De-
crease in Number of Ap-
plications will be Recorded
SEE CONTINU ALTON N

The effect of good crops in North
being reflected in reductioI of/ap-
plications of farmers for real estate
loans. An examination of records OF
the Bank of North Dakota, Farm
Loan Department here, revealed Il
marked falling off in the number of
applications for farm loans in the
last two months, since good crops
state.
According to Manager II. f. Shearn
of the department, many loan appli-
cations of farmers, made last spring,
have been cancelled or the amount
of the loan asked has been reduced,
this fall. Applications were made by
many farmers in the spring for loans,
loans would be made to retire exist
ing obligations. In many instances
it is unnecessary for loan to be
made at all, and others are able to
reduce the necessary amount.
1t is believed by Manager Shearn
that greater effect will be noticed
later, in Il dropping off of applica
tions for loans.
From August 8. 1924, to October Is,
1924, the number Of loan applications
was 364 as compared to 594 applica-
tions for comparative period last
year, a decrease this fall of 230 ap-
lications.
The Farm Loan Department of the
bank has continued making loans at
rapid pace all summer. The total
volume of farm loans of the Depart.
ment will exceed $6,O0O,000 during
the year 1924, if the present rate is
maintained in the last two months OF
the year. A total of $780, 300 was
loaned in the first nine months OF
the year, and in the month of Octo.
ber $464, 900 had been loaned to Oct
ober "a.
The loans by months follow: Jan
uary, $420,l50; February $4,000;
March $47O,OOO; April $772,2OO; May
$571, $50; June $377,05O; July $5O7,-
400; August $499,2OO; September
$500,50O. An average of better, than
$6OO,OOO month has been maintain
ed by the Department.

and offered to sell to the LaFollette

Strip AppOintiUe POwer
From Illinois Machine
BY KARL REEVE.
Especial to The Daily Worker)


PEORIA, ILL.,, May 23.-The
rank and file of the Illinois
miners, fresh from the great
victory over the Farrington-
Lewis machine on the Howat
resolution, broke the backbone
of the Harrington district ma
chine by stripping it of the APP
pointive power-the power to
hand out jobs.
The willy Harrington, his
futile substitute Vice-President
Fishwick, his chairman of the
resolution committee George
Mercer, and his stolid Secretary
of district IL Walter Nesbit, who
counts two for Harrington and
one for the opposition, who for
days have been sitting on the
elevated platform vainly en-
deavoring to hold back the rank
and file sentiment against them,
were completely overwhelmed
when the rank and file voted
down the part of Farrington's
report in which he pleads for
the retention of his appointiYe
power.
The victory is all the more signifi-
cant in view of the fact that Earring
ton, realizing that at least 80 per cent
of the membership we're out to break
his machine, had called in the inter-
national officials. Of the union and

BRITISH LABOR
ORGAN SLABS
TORIES WRIST
Does Not Like Russian
Language


LONDON, May 23.-While Ramsay
Macdonald makes pretty after-dinner
speeches on the pleasant social at
mosphere surrounding his relations
with the Tories and Liberals, the New
Leader. official organ of the Indeper.
dent Labor Party, of which the
premier is a member, in a recent is
sue attacked the Tory party for its
campaign against the Anglo-Russian
conference now taking place in Lon
don.
The Tory attack centers on the high
indemnity demanded by the Russians
for British counter-revolutionary ac-
tivities and the deliberate breach of
neutrality committed by England's
rulers during the Russian Civil War.
1.-THE New Leader" cites the indemnity
paid by England for her Intervention
in the American Civil War as a pre-
cedent for like action in the present
case.
"The New Leader" is considered
the mouthpiece of the British Labor
Party government however, and with
an insane plea of impartiality and
liberality takes good care not to COM
promise itself by definite stand one
way or the other. Conciliatingly it
whimpers about the necessity of a
"calm and friendly atmosphere" and
bemoans the tendency of the naughty
rough Russians to use "a proletarian
freedom of speech and a fury of
language" quite foreign to the mild
voiced English intellectual.
These are the Representatives of
labor" who coin meaningless phrases
and kiss the kings dead hand, who
boast of their determination to put
thru a liberal measure like the ma
tionalization of railroads, and then
dare not even make it government
issue.
The policy of the English premier is
to soothe his political allies without
ruffiing his political opponents too
much, and so 1.-THE New Leader" en-
tiers a mild protest against the bogus
Russian news" with which the CAPT
talist press conducts its anti-Bolshe-
vik campaign.
"Trotsky," says the Labor Party
organ, has spoken in perfectly
friendly way of the British State; it
is true, however, that he has carried
on the standing controversy between
the Bolshevik and our Menshevik
reading of Socialist tactics. 1t was
IN unfortunate moment to choose for
his exercise. Our own good will to
Russia is, perhaps, sufficiently well
Known to justify word of caution"
and so on, and on, and on.
"The New Leader" is conducting a
bitter attack on the Tory party-but
at its bitterest the British Labor
Party is never tactless. It never for
gets that the Tories are ladies' and
gentlemen.
