1, 1885, at which latter time, the per-
manent provisions of the act guaran-
teeing the larger amounts become eff
fective.
Perhaps the most important pro-
visions of the bill are those which
authorize the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation to loan upon or pur-
chase assets of any bank or trust
company which has been closed on
or after December 81, 1929, and prior
to January 1, 1884, and the affairs OF
which have not been fully liquldated
or wound up. This authority shall
extend to any banking institution that
has reopened without payment of de-
pOsits i'm full. The purpose of this pro-
vision is to enable these banks to pay
off depositors. Under present circum-
stances any bank forced to liquidate
is obliged to dispose of it's assets at
forced sale at depression prices,
which results in tremendous loss to
depositOrs. The bill herein referred to
provides that in making any purchase
of or loan on assets of any closed
bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation shall appraise such as
sets in anticipation of an orderly
| liquidation over a period of years
rather than on the basis of forced
selling values in a period of business
depression.
| In other words, a much larger
amount of money will be made avail
| n iii OF - hIrfI
itOrs in these banks, and there will
be no loss to the Federal Deposit IN
surance Corporation if the country
"gets back on it's feet and if there
is an appreciable increase in property
and security values. The bill is
predicated upon the theory that soon
er or later the depression will end
normal conditions, those bank assets
will be worth as much as the Federal
Deposit Isurance Corporation loaned
On or paid for such assets. These
assets are not to be appraised at their
face value, but at their reasonable
value under normal conditions. 1t is
estimated that if this bill is enacted
into Law, $1,25O,OOO,OOO will be i'm
mediately distributed to bank depos-
itors throughout the country. This
bill is not the so-called Mcleod Bill"
which provided for 1000 pay-off to
depositors, but unquestionably the &C
tivity of the group in Congress who
were urging enactment of the Mcleod
bill is responsible for this compro-
mise measure which, in the words
of Congressman Mcleod 'goes 900 Of
the way" An important feature Of
the bill is that it is not confined mere
ly to National banks but State banks
as we'll.

NEWS REVIEW

England and France.

Up bobbed then Sir John Simon,
foreign minister of the British en-
pire; did he have anything to say
about disarmament? No. He sup
ported the German claim for larger
army; that is, he really was in favor
of a FrancO-German compromise, for
Germany insists that its army of 100,
600 men be increased to 100000; Sir
John suggested that 100000 should be
and that such an in
crease need not worry France.
Finally came then Louis Barthou,
foreign minister of France; he, too,
said nothing about disarmament, but
he did make it clear to his British
colleague that his government under
no circumstances would permit any
German army increase and he chose
words so sharp and offending that
Sir John, feeling quite huffy about it,
left the conference hall at the head
of the British delegation.
Thus the disarmament conference
began its new era without any direct
reference to disarmament, and the en-
tire scene made it clear to all OBJ
servers that the great powers once
more had failed to provide, through
preliminary discussions, workable
basis for discussion.
Gloomy Prospects.
1t is generally admitted that the
prospects of the conference are eX-
frnY,n1u gloomy onI of fhncC
present in Geneva were moved tC
agree with President Henderson that
never had the dark clouds been hang
ing as low over Geneva as just now.
Leading European newspapers main
tain that unless some sort of miracle
happen, there is no hope for even the
smallest success of the conference.
OF course, it may be that the con-
ference may indulge in face-savins
operation of adhering to the Americ al
plan of ornaments control and to tho
Russian proposal for a permanent
conference and peace by mutua
treaties. But even if sO-that is sure

Actual disarmament cannot be be

remain apart, and, as long as all thu
great powers, processing a Theoretical
interest in disarmament, are increas

Russia are paving the way for wha

PROCEEDINGS OF
ASKOV COUNCIL

A special meeting of the village
council was held May 30, 1884. All
members were present.
The Villages application for ERA
money to be used on park project
by Kettle river had been approved
and work was to be begun June 1.
A motion was made, seconded and
carried to give Hans Mosbak and J..
R. Petersen the authority to hire a
foreman for the park project and to
secure the necessary tools to begin
work.
A motion was made seconded and
carried. to request Chris. Frederiksen
to take charge of fixing up the spring
and small rock garden at the north
end of the park.
Meeting adjourned.

vakia, Roumania, and Jugo-Slavia--
The Little Entente-apparently to
please their great, good friend, France,
have decided to recognize the Soviet
government of Russia. Such move
may be intended to facilitate Franco
Russian alliance efforts.
Saar Plebiscite.
In the meantime, France and Ger
many have agreed about at least one
thing namely the date of the plebi-
scite in the Saar district; the date set
is January 10, 1885, and both govern
ments have pledged that they will
not in any way penalize inhabitants
who may vote in opposition.
The Saar district is one of the rich
lest coal-mining regions in Europe; as
result of the Versailles peace treaty
in 1919 the Saar was to be under the
of fifteen years (from 1920, and
France was, of course, selected to be
the actual governing power.
In 1885, according to the treaty, the
populace is to have the opportunity of
expressing itself, through vote, in
favor of one of the three propositions:
~ Maintaining the present system of
League-French control; y Returning
to Germany; 3 Becoming an integral
part of France. During the fifteen
year period now drawing to a close
France has the right to collect all
the revenue produced by the coal
mines.
| Prospects.
Off hand, one would say that the
Saar people, very largely Germans
will vote for proposition No. 2, that is
for a return to Germany. But upOr
closer investigation. one finds thai
this is not absolutely certain now fol-
the reason that of the $4,000 inhabi
tants of the Saar district about $50,
900 are Roman Catholics, and it 81
happens that the present German gov
eminent has antagOniZed the Catholic
element; for this reason it is almOs'
impossible to say anything definite
about the possible outcome of The
plebiscite: 1t will be question o
whether the religious or the purel!
patriotic motives prove to be thu
strongest. In so far as there is an!
betting going on right now, it may
after all, be said to favor the German
element, in spite of the Catholic oppo
sition to the Berlin government. Blu
no certainty exists, and the intens'
campaign which has already begun b.
both the German and the French ma.
ultimately show its effect.
PrayS for Peace.
During the last few days the gov
Iernment of Bolivia has appealed t.
the League of Nations with a praye
that its covenant be employed to stol
the Gran ChacO war which for NOR
than two years has been carried OF
with Paraguay. 1t is not likely tina
the League can do anything more
than it did during the recent Man
churian conflict between China AM
Japan, but, on the other hand, it i
quite probable that the Bolivian ap
peal will prevent the carrying out o
the proposed embargo on arms am
munitions to both belligerent coun
tries. And sO-the war goes on!

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

Because the writer has been con-
fined to bed for a week with mild
attack of pleurisy, and therefore un-
able to prepare the usual weekly re-
port, he offers instead the weekly let
ter mailed out today by Congressman
Gerald Boileau, brilliant young Wis
consin Progressive.
The House has been engaged in
some rather interesting sessions. Re-
publicans who claimed to be offended
at rough treatment at the hands or
the Democratic leaders engaged in a
two day filibuster which delayed for
that length of time the passage of a
| bill of more or less minor Importance.
Intense partisan feeling existed at the
end of this time, and all questions
were being decided practically upon
partisan lines. The Democratic lead
ers, taking advantage of the aroused
feeling of partisanship among mem
bers of their own party, pushed
Through the House gag rule" which
they claimed became necessary be-
cause of the Republican filibuster.
Democratic members, feeling that
they must stand by the party, voted
for this most vicious gag rule" which
provides that for the remainder of
this session, the Speaker can author
IiZe bills to be considered under sus-
Ipension of the rules without adequate
debate and without affording to mem
bers the right to offer amendments.
Under the standing rules of the
House, the Speaker can bring up such
bills only on two days during the
month, and then a bill passing undei
suspension of the rules must receive q
2-3 vote of the membership. However
under this "gag-rule" only bare
majority vote is necessary for pas
sage. The gag rule" also pro-
vided that the majority leader could
move to recess from day tt
day which will prevent sufficient
number of Legislative days to inter
vene between now and adjournment tt
permit action on bills pending before
committees and upon which petitions
have been filed to discharge such com
mittees. This rule definitely defeated
the Frazier Farm Relief bill, the Nc
Leod Bank Pay-off bill and the Con.
merry 30-hour week bill.
bill of far reaching Importance
to banks and bank depositOrs is now
pending in conference between the
two Houses. In the first place the bill
amends the law with reference to the
guarantee of bank deposits. 1t viii
be remembered that year ago the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion was created and that deposits il
all Federal Reserve Banks were guar
anteed beginning January LIST, 1884
in an amount up to $4,000 until Jul!
1, 1884. This, of course, was only ;
temporary provision, but the bill alst
contained permanent provisions which
were to be effective on July 1st
1884, after which date deposit
were guaranteed 1000 up to $4,000
1870 between 10000 and $4,000 ant
500 on all amounts in excess of $50,
600. The House bill, just passed, eX
tends the temporary provisions of tn,
law for another year but increase
the amount guaranteed from $4,000 t
$4,000 between July 1, 1884 and Jul,
