APRILREP0RT
SHOWS SLUMP
IN BUSINESS.
Decline in Ninth District
Noted in Preliminary Sum-
mary of Conditions
GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
Substantial Increase in Num-
Der of Building Permits
Issued i'm Cities
GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
tRv The Associated Press)


Fargo, N. D., May l5.-The GUS
tomary decline in April business in
the ninth federal reserve district is
noted in the preliminary summary OF
agricultural and financial condi-
tions received here today from the
federal reserve bank Of Minneapolis.
The report states that grain and
livestock receipts. and prices were
both lower than in the preceding
month and that manufacturing, as
reflected in shipments Of forest
products, linseed products and flour,
declined.
Total carloadings of all products,
however, increased slightly, due pr-
marily to very large expansion in
ore shipments to the head Of the
lakes in anticipation Of an earlier
opening Of navigation" continues the
report.
During the month of April. coun-
try banks drew heavily upon their
city correspondents for funds and
as result banks in larger cities
sold securities, collected maturing
| loans. reduced their cash holdings
and reserves and borrowed to a small
extent from the Federal Reserve
Bank" the report says. Federal
Reserve notes outstanding declined.
"The most promising fact contain
ed in the April figures as compared
| with March was an increase of ap-
proximately rs percent in the valua-
tion of building permits granted in
eighteen cities in this district. This
is considerably more than the sea-
sonal increase normally to be expect
ed at this time of the year.
GAS compared with year ago.
| April business exhibited a gain of
q percent in the total money value
as reported by seventeen cities in
the district, the greatest gains being
: shown at Duluth-Superior $50 per-
cent? and South St. Paul go per-
cent?. This increase in money value
was accompanied by an increase in
physical volume. as carloadings were
seven percent greater than Q year
ago.
Department store sales increased
very slightly. Speculative trading in
grain was more than double that of
a year ago.
"There was nearly a doubling in
the valuation and a substantial in
crease in the number Of building
permits granted at eighteen cities.
This is the most favorable fact con-
tanned in the figures for the month
as compared with the same month a
year ago. Contracts awarded were
greater than year ago, with note
worthy trend in the direction of in
creased residential and commercial
building and pronounced declines in
public utility, industrial and educa-
tional instruction.
"There has been some damage to
winter wheat and fruit in the west
ern portion of this district, but most
of this acreage has been reseeded.
There will be practically no aband-
onment of rye in North Dakota. The
outlook for the spring wheat crop is
very good. Moisture conditions are
as favorable as they have been for
years. The crop was put in about
two weeks earlier than usual. There
will be some expansion over last
year in the acreage planted, and a
{. large increase in the western half of
district.

WORLD COURT PLEA

New York, May l5-America
should join world court, to get
the practical processes of peaceful
decision operating while the world
is crying for peace" Owen D. Young,
the first administrator of the Dawes
reparation plan, said at the annual
dinner Of the National Institute Of
Social Science last night.
With his advocacy Of adhesion to
a world tribunal, he joined a plea for
the substitution Of actual participa-
tion and experiment in world affairs
for debate on underlying principles
and for consideration and patience
toward the nations in Americas debt.
"Most of ALL" he said, "let US see
to it that the great moral, physical
and financial power of this country
is not used to impose impossible and
unfair terms, and so pave the way
for future default with all the evil
reactions and bitterness which that
may bring to the next generation"
Mr.. Young's address was a plea for
practical action, in attempted solu-
tIOh VI "Oii0 PIVOiCuSs uc O0WCS
plan, he said, is "only an interEe-
diate experiment" He urged the i'm
portance of action, even in only a
limited area. "Let US do the small
thing before us to do, even though
it be SMALL" he said. LET US get
our growth from experience and
anchor our discussion to practical
programs, instead of soaring into
that rarified atmosphere where hu-
man undertakings die"
Americas attitude toward interna-
tional problems. he continued, is one
of prayer, longing and debate, but
not Of action, which is necessary
what are the practical things We
are doing?" he asked. "The VIII ole
world is throwing out an anguished
cry for peace now that the debauch
Of war is over.
"But we delay joining a worlt
court while we debate the question
of national sovereignty and endeav.
or to show that the principles of in.
ternational Jurisprudence are not suf
ficiently worked out to warrant oul
taking the alleged risk.
LET US supplement the debate.
with aation, carefully and wisely
taken, but action. Let us join
world court. Let US get our expert
ence and strengthen peace agencie.
in order that they may be strong t,
meet the issues of the future in 1
new generation which will not itself
have experienced the horrors Of wal
as we have done"

Providence, r. l., May l5.-William
Jennings Bryan, speaking at Brown
University last night in his cam
paign against evolution, was hooed
and hissed off the stage by students
as he abruptly ended an answer to
a question put to him by George F.
Cafferty, student.
Bryan caustically assailed the stu
dent questioner. and left the hall.
Cafferty had presented his question,
and was asked by Bryan to step up
on the platform and repeat it. He
then ,remarked that even though he
had come long ways to deliver his
talk, the hour was late and he did
not feel like answering the bubbling
fountain of wisdom and light.
Mr.. Cafferty's question was: SIS
it not possible that the philosophy
gained by evolutionary teachings
that you fear may prevent reverence
and worship of the future religious
ideals might be replaced by the
teachings of science as establishing
tbe happiness and morality of the
race?'
