NAZIS SETTLE DOWN
TO Task OF FILLING
PROMISES TO SAAR
HitIer's Visit Throws Populace
Into Frenzy Of Excitement
And Joy

5aarbruecken, Germany, March 3.
-ReNazi Germany settled down to
the huge task Of fulfilling promises
to new countrymen in the 6aar Ba-
sin Saturday as the Saarlanders, wild
with Joy at Adolf Hitler's surprise
visit, emerged from the beer halls to
10 new day.
Hitleris ringing declaration that
"just as we desire peace" France,
he hoped, will cooperate regarding In
:ernational problems, sounded the
note Of hope for the future.
Since the Saar plebiscite returned
the land to the Reich, and during
the campaign to that end. the Nazis
promised the saarlanders peace. pros
perity, church freedom. bread and
large coal purchases.
Hitler, who not long ago asked for
five years in which to achieve his
program, Friday declared he would
need Is to 20 years to make Ger
many happy and Free"
As one Of her major problems, Ger
many must pay France $50 400, 900 for
saar mines turned over to the French
under the Versailles treaty. France
was given these mines for damage
wrought by the German army to
French mines during the World War.
Joseph Buerckel, governor Of the
saar. announced that hundreds OF
thousands of gold wedding rings had
been sent in to help pay for the
mines and that the two American girls
had sent two dollars to q German
aunt for this purpose. It Is expected
the people would be asked to turn in
gold objects as q thanks offering.
The floating Of huge patriotic loan
also is anticipated.
For the Saarland's great Catholic
population, Buerckel said concordat
negotiations are ready for resumption.
Hitler's unexpected arrival and
announcements threw the Saarland
into the frenzy of excitement and
Joy. He had at first decided not to
go to greet territory's transfers but
at the last minute considered the
opportunity too good to miss.

Earlier In the session. a resolution
introduced by Thomas Burke of Bur-
leigh, Smith, Joe c. Blaisdell, Jr., of
Ward, r. j. Downey Of Ramsey and
Earle E. Clarke Of LaMoure, declared
deficit appropriations by this legis-
lature were not to be looked upon as
setting a precedent.
The resolution pointed out the
several departments of government
of the state have made requests for
appropriations in excess Of $50, 900
to cover deficits incurred in such de-
partments. during the past bien-
num-"
Resolution Hits Practice
Incurring of deficits was struck at
in the resolution which explained
that state laws make 1t "a misde-
meanor for any state official or state
board or head of any state institution
to spend more money than is appro-
priated by the state legislature for
the biennium."
All contracts entered into between
firms and state officials or institu-
tons. IN excess of the appropriation
are void, the resolution contended.
The resolution asked that these
acts Of state officials in exceeding the
legislative appropriations for their
respective offices are hereby con-
demned."
The house passed senate measure
appropriating $4,000 to pay general
maintenance and as an offset for fed
eral aid, in extension work Of the
state agricultural college at Fargo.
A bill appropriating 500, 900 for the
state hospital for the insane at
jamestown, with which to construct
a new ward building also was passed
by the house. The measure previous
~ had been passed by the senate.
Transferring $4,000 from the gen.
eral fund to the returned soldiers
