By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-Henry

and was made public when it was filed
today with the prothonotary Of the
Philadelphia Court Of Common Pleas
where the suit was brought.

receivers sale was mot as an invest
ment," Ford said
He added it was "a matter of SYM
pathy, I guess" not for the creditors
or stockholders, but purely and simply
for the Lelands"
The late Henry Leland was founder
Of the Lincoln Co.
Ford and his son were called as wit
nesses in the suit of the Sweetin Auto
mobile Co. of Philadelphia, now in re-
ceivership, against the Ford Co. fol-
s227, 900.
The Sweetin Co. held the Lincoln
Agency for Philadelphia and contends
that the Ford Co. took over their sales
agency agreement on purchasing the
Lincoln concern. The Philadelphia
company says it spent $227,000 and
then the agreement was broken.
The Fords denied any agreement
with the Leland family that they would
pay of creditors and stockholders of the
Lincoln Co.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-01-07

Attorney General M. O. Sharpe OF
South Dakota gives the people Of his
state something to think over as the
New Year starts.
He tells them in his report that the
rural credit administration of Cover
nors McMaster and Norbeck will even
tually cost the taxpayers some $685.
100000
South Dakota's experience has been
identical with that OF North Dakota.
Our sister state, however, has ceased
operations and the department Is now
engaged in the task Of liquidation.
He reports that only SIG, 7OO,O 900 will
be realized from resources with cost
value Of s36,OOO,O0O. Bonds and in
terest to be paid total $4,000. 900.
This state must get out OF the rural
credit business as promptly as pos
sible. No time should be lost in liqui-
dating the department, salvaging the
assets and retiring from the business.
II present losses go on, this state
will be so tax ridden in another de-
cade that more land will be confis-
Gated and revert to the state.
Figures OF the North Dakota rural
credit situation have neen given sew
eral times in these columns. The
record in substance is no different
than the experience of Minnesota and
South Dakota.

less on small plots OF ground where
they can raise food to feed their
families. Some produce tricklcs into
market from such ventures providing
revenue sufficient for clothes and
bare necessities.
Many are ready to begin over. leave
the city and return to the land If
only to scratch for a living. When
that trend starts, a necessary step
toward recovery has been made.
Abandoned farms will become occu-
pied provided the federal government
and the agricultural states can evolve
an active land policy. Millions spent
now in charity doles might be used
to making families self sustaining on
the land, OF which there is an abund-
ance.
The process will be a slow one. Any
land policy developed must shield
and guard these new settlers for years
until they get upon their feet. It
may be that a liberal homestead plan
can be devised by the various states
to throw open to entry the farms
which have come to the state and
are a dead weight on It's hands.
Many in the cities want to get
away from the bread line. They know
too we'll that the days OF easy money
and high wages have gone, probably
for this generation at least, and a
new start must made. Here lies
an opportunity for states with va
cant farms. Craze for the excitement
Of city life has caused many fertile
acres to return to weeds and pests.
I. will take money to get these
people back in the old environment,
but millions are now being spent
keeping them in present misery and
diScontent. A wise plan could bring
about shift in population to the
benefit OF the cities and the rural
,enters. Such plan Is at least
worth while trying. Here in North
Dakota a modest start could be made |
A land policy is most sorely needed.

new York WOrld-Tclegram)
AS We start the new year We are
warned once more that we must re-
organize our economic and political
life If America is to escape the dam
ger OF dictatorial systems of one sort
or other. This time the warning
comes from President Hoover's re-
search committee on social trends,
composed OF eminent scientists, whom
no one can accuse OF being alarmists
or sensationalists
The committee reports, after Scru-
tinizing the whole sweep of modern
life, that social invention has failed
to keep pace with mechanical in
vention.
So We find ourselves bewildered by
starvation in the midst of too much
food, dazzling skyscrapers next to re-
Voting slums, the ability to send our
voices around the world in a few
seconds, but having no clear idea as
to our place in world affairs and our
relation with other peoples.
In this situation we can drift as
We have been drifting, trusting blind
~ to the future and running the risk
that violence may subordinate tech
nical intelligence in social guidance"
Or we can, as the committee suggests.
determine Ito undertake important
integral changes in the reorganiza-
ton Of social life, including the eco
nomic and political orders"
The committee warns that moth
ing short Of the combined intelligence
OF the nation can cope with the pre-
dicamentS here mentioned"
For woven together are such re-
sources and crime, the position Of
agriculture and birth control and I'M
migration. mechanical inventions and
the position of the church. extension
of government duties and powers and
mental hygiene, foreign relations and
the changed status OF women, public
and private medicine and the use OF
leisure time.
The research committee has chart
ed trends. 1t has not solved problems
or proposed . future course. But 1t
does warn Of dangers and suggests
goals. Its report Is one Of the most
challenging documents presented to
the American people in years.
It Is challenging particularly to the
new administration, which must take
the lead II positive steps toward
working out our salvation are to re-
place our policy Of drift.
The task will not be accumulated
overnight. The committee thinks It
may be necessary to conceive new
types OF politico-economic oreaniza-
ton not yet thought Of In order to
evolve . way Of living adapted to
the special needs. opportunities,
limitations and genius OF the Ameri-
can people"
But unless start is consciously
made. the end can never be reached.
