The Governments embargo on ship

Mr.. Hoover's attitude in Haiti and

He believes in his countrys formal
participation in the World Court, but
was not satisfied of the wisdom of link

Bank of International Settlements. His
first decision was based on a concept of
worldwide concord with universal
formulas, his second decision arose from
the fact that, for the present, the world
bank exists primarily, If not exclusively,
for the liquidation of European affairs.
The United States finds itself with
all its debt agreements completed. those

Looked at coolly, it is a fair enough

MINNESOTAPLANN|NG
EMERGENCY FUND TO
Fight FOREST FIRES
$4,000 Granted by State Ex-
ecutive Committee for Car.
rying on Work

st. Paul, May 9.-F)-The state
executive council Saturday voted to
grant an emergency appropriation of
$4,000 for the purpose Of fighting
forest fires in Minnesota.
Although State Forester Grover NJ.
Comet requested only $25 1000. State
Auditor Stafford King moved that
double that amount be granted IN
order to concentrate all efforts to-
ward extinguishing all existing fires.
Reports were received from Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commits
si0ner, and r. A. Hunt, state superin-
tendent Of timber, or the fire situa-
ton. and Forester Comet described
conditions.
Forester Comet told the council
many Of the fires in northern Min
nesota have been set by persons who
wished to get employment in fighting
them. Others have been started
through back fires set by settlers who
had become terrorized by the situa-
ton
The state forester said he has spent
the previous SIS 900 appropriation
given him by the council in addition
to at least $4,000. AS a result the
appropriation granted him will leave
only approximately $4,000 Tor fire
fighting purposes until July l when
the next biennium Of the state gov
eminent starts when more funds will
be available.
There are between 1000 and 1000
peat fires in throughout the north
crn par: Of the state. Comet said.
Many of these will have to be put
out. while a number which are not
dangerous will be left to burn until
they go out by themselves.
Should a day or two Of sunny
weather set in. the fires will start up
again. Forester Comet said, unless
a heavy rainfall comes to the rescue.
There now is a fire In a national
forest near Bena covering 5000 acres.
