INSURGENTS TO
 BE RECOGNIZED
Continued from Page D

ernment would pursue independent military and political policies without entangling alliances with the totali- tartan powers which might be Q menace to France as neighbor.
 The plan was that Berard would return to Paris Thursday and that Premier Daladier would call a special cabinet meeting Friday. It was hoped that simultaneous French and Brit ish recognition could be announced immediately afterward, as Britain awaited only Frances consent.
 Franco Instructions
 During his visit ot Barcelona, Jor- danna himself received new instruc- tions from Generalissimo Franco, on the basis of his previous negotiations with Berard. It was reported here that Jordana obtained Francos consent to establish re1ations on the basis of previous verbal assurances to France and Britain that after the civil war Spain would follow an in- dependent foreign policy. It was re- ported unofilcially that in the report which Berard already had sent to Paris, he was able to say that the Nationalists stood on previous affir- nations that foreign troops would leave Spain as soon as the civil war ended and that no foreign powers would be given any military or po- ntical privileges in Spain or its pos sessions.
 Overcome Opposition
 It was still necessary for the French government to overcome op- position of four cabinet members to unqualified recognition. Albert Sar- raut, minister of interior; Jean Fay, minister of education; Cesar Cam ponchi, navy minister, and Paul Reynard, minister of justice, de- manded that the government get definite asurances from Franco.
 The newspaper Matin published an interview today with Berard, which it said was given at Hendaye before he returned to Spain.
 I want to say forcefully," he was quoted as saying, "that there is nothing in the present negotiations to impose conditions on the Nation alists in exchange for recognition. Recognition is a matter of unilateral action by one government toward an- other government. I am returning to Burgos to the atmosphere of courtesy and confidence which I have always found there, to continue conversations. It would be 8 defiance of good sense and humane law if these conversations did not bring be- tween our two peoples cordial and comprehensive relations, which are indispensable to the harmonious de- velopment of peace in Europe"

The Government rested its de-

IN the following year, or possibly
in 1872, A. J. Edwards, father Of
Frank Edwards of $40 Clark street and
three-tine mayor of Helena, went to
salvage the boat and brought back
this bell which was used for ringing
fire alarms and for other civic pur-
poses until July, 1887, when 1t was pur-
chased by Great Falls. 1t has been
stated the purchase price was 500 but
the question has been raised as to
whether this money was paid for the
bell or whether it was the cost Of

FARMERS CUT
INDEBTEDNESS
HALF BILLION DOLLARS REPAID
FEDERAL LAND BANKS IN
PAST EIGHT YEARS
Payments Last Year TOtaled Sl27, 41O,-
900 Farm Credit Administration Di-
rectOrs Are Told by Agency Head,
With Outlook Promising.

Half a billion dollars of farm
mortgage debt held by the federal
land banks and land bank COM
missioner has been repaid in the
last eight years, according to a
statement made by F. F. Hill, gov
ernor of the farm credit admins
tration, to directors of the agency.
This represents both installment
payments and loans paid in full.
On loans held by the land banks and
commissioner, total Of $127, 10000 was
paid on the principal last year, or AS
percent of the amount of loans out
standing at the beginning of 1888, Hill
in principal payments in 1887, or 3.9
percent Of the amount outstanding at
the beginning of that year.
Farmers as a class are in a better
position to make progress IN paying
their farm mortgage loans than at any
time in the past" said Mr.. Hill, since
at least 40 percent of the total farm
mortgage debt is now contracted on
an amortization basis. In this way a
very small fraction Of the original prin-
cipal Of the loan is paid each six or II
months, thereby discharging the debt
usually In 20 to 30-odd years.
The price of farm products Is the
most important factor in paying off
farm debts. But granted reasonable
prices, the fact that 40 percent Of
the farm mortgage debt Is now ar
ranged on systematic repayment sched-
ules should mean considerably more
progress in farm debt curtailment dur
ing the next decade than has occurred
in the past 10 years. Furthermore, the
reduction of farm interest rates by
many millions Of dollars since 1888
leaves more income which may be ap-
piled to principal retirement"
