Federal Farm Board Will
Approve Coop. Loans
$1O, 100000 Fund to Boost Wheat
Price to Be Voted Soon, Says
Chairman Legge.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE feder.
al farm board was ready today to
approve farmally creation of a $10,-
100000 grain stabalization corpora
tion to handle the present wheat
emergency, and thereby begin on
behalf of the farmers, giantic
government business venture un-
equalled in peace time.
Chairman Legge announced the
board will authorize establishment
of corporation, as provided in the
Hoover farm relief program, as
soon as a quorum can be mustered
to act. The corporation will buy up
surplus wheat for co-operatives so
as to hold it up firm the market
and stabalize the price.
This will mark the first use of
the emergency relief measure ap-
proved by Congress and will afford
the first test of the Hoover farm
relief program which was criticiz-
ed in the. Senate as not being ade-
quate.
The 100000 credit to the cor
poration may be incresed by the
board if need for further funds
arises. Profits and losses sustained
by the corporation will fail upon
the $150,000,00 revolving fund ap-
propriated by Congress.
Agricultural experts point out
that because the board was making
supplementary loans up to $1.25 a
bushel on wheat while the market
price was considerably below this
sum, the stabilization corporation
was necessary to protect the gov
ernment funds invested as loans.

Mrs. Vessey moved to North Da-
kota 80 years ago. The following
story taken from the Cavalier
County Republican Langdon, of
Feb. 6, 1880, will be of interest to
many Herald readers:
Funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist Episcopal church
in Langdon Wednesday, February
5, for Mrs. AL Vessey, who passed
away at her home in Langdon Mon
day morning, following a stroke of
paralysis suffered the previous
Wednesday. The services were in
charge of Rev. C.. T. Ensign, pas
tor of the church, and special mus
ical numbers were rendered by a
quartette of mixed voices. PAIL

their temporary resting place in
the receiving vault at Lebanon
cemetery were E. J. Fox, J. K
Hamilton, J. A. Balgaard, AL Hea-

ANGELA E. Carpenter was born
September 27, 1862, in Orleans
county, New York, and as a little
girl came to Sauk Centre, Mimi,
with her parents who were num-
bered among the pioneers OF
Stearns county. At Sauk Centre
she was married to Russell Under
wood, who passed away in 1894
leaving her with the care of five
children. In 1896 she came to Cav
alier county and was married the
same year to Al Vessey, then home

fer business and continuing in
that line of work for several years.
The deceased had been in failing
health for several years but it was
not until 1927 that she suffered a
stroke and her condition became
critical. From that time until her
death she remained in an almost
helpless condition, being cared for
by her devoted husband, who re-
mained with her constantly until
her death. Until her last illness
Mrs. Vessey took an active interest
in the work of the Methodist Epis-
copal church and at the time of
her death held membership in the
Modern Brotherhood of America
and the Lady Macabee orders.

band and four children survive

Moldenhauer, Cermany's Minister Of Finance, Explains Young Plan
 $@0,0OO, GOO Preparations Loan

chairman of the house committee on banking and currency would ham, per the success of the loan in he United States. 1t was recalled Me- Fadden recently repeatedly express ed doubt as to 'the validity Of the reparations bonds because they ulti. mately were based on Versailles treaty and armistice conditions which Germany might eventually challenge.
 "McFaddens arguments do not affect the legal status of the loan" :" Moldenhauer replied. The loan rests on obligations clearly specified in the agreement which l shall sign. This obligates the present and all future German governments Natur- ally we shall internationally fulfill these loan obligations,
 Moldenhauer emphasized the Sl00,00O,000 which Germany will receive out of the s300000, ,000 loan will be important not only because it will be used for productive pur- poses for the state railways and postal service, but psychologically because it shows the world Germany can no longer be placed merely un- der the duress of separations.

 It is a commonplace for every American that prosperity depends on the public's purchasing power, Al Inv IN nrO1y m e n lI D 1S One might address a demand 10 the world to raise Germany's buy ing power so you can increase your own prosperity The Young plan will be milestone along this road"

 Replying to another query, he re- vealed a belief that the United States would continue to send capi. i tai to Germany. He said:

By FREDERICK KCH


 Berlin, Juns 10 (UP)-The pros poets of Germany's business devel- opment and of the further influx of capital from the United States into Germany were discussed yesterday by Finance Minister Paul Modem hauer in connection with the forth i coming s300,000,00G reparations loan to be issued this month.
 Moldenhauer, bald, short, stocky. sharpEltted, typically genial Rhinelander, eXpounded opinions calculated to arouse the lively in- terest of fm1nciers and business men everywh ere.
 .~ Linking prosperity with Ger rnany's ultimate ability to pay her reparations bills, the finance minis ter, in an exclusive interview with the United Press, talked of the me- cessity of Germany's export surplus and his plans for putting the na- ticn's financial household in order. The impending conclusion of the | Young plan loan. he said, was step in the direction of economic com- mon sense.
 Tt is a long and difficult path from the purely political perspec- tive of war time and post war years to recognition Of sound business principles" he said.
 McFadden Doubtful The correspondent asked Molden- hauer whether he believed the atti. tUde of Louis McFadden, Pennsyl. vania representative in congress and
New Britain herald., 1930-06-10

scarcely imagine American capital voluntarily will abandon the posi- ton it has achieved in German business between 1925 and 1928. Hence, assume Germany can reck- on on considerable inflow of American capital"
 Asked whether he thought Ger many ever would be able to pay her reparations bills from her export surplus, Molednhauer said:
 Tn the long run Germany will be able to pay the reparations from our export surplus. That was the pur- port of the Dawes plan and is the Young plans premise. Alls the economic forces of the world must reconcile themselves to this idea if the Young plans aims are to be at- tained.'

Decision Holding Bonding Con- pany Not Responsible Appealed

Acting on behalf of the New Brit ain Lumber Go. in its S8,000 suit against the American Surety Co. of New York. Attorney Edward A. Mag has appealed a demurrer decision by Judge Arthur Els in superior court to the supreme court of errors. The case will be heard in the October term. ..... ...
 The suit was brought as the re- suit of the alleged failure of the William H. Allen Co. insolvent. to pay for labor and material furnish ed in the construction of the New ington Junior High school. It was the plaintiffs contention that the bonding company was financially re- sponsible when the contractor failed to live up to requirements, but Judge Els ruled that the bonding com pany was responsible only to the town of Nevington. He advised that the town should be presented with the claim and allowed to pass on the correctness of it. Then it could be held responsible and in turn it could ask the bonding company to reim purse it for damages paid to the sub contractors.
