We Will Help You to Save Safely Jftttzfjtr &sbinsi anil Zn&t (So kHHMi NEW SENATOR CHARGES BANK CHOKING N. D. Dr. Ladd Asserts Reserve System Aids Conspiracy Against Farmers. STATE CREDITS ‘FROZEN* FARGO, N. D., Feb. 22—Dr. E. F. Ladd, Senator-elect from North Dakota, who left here today for Washington, declared the tight financial conditions in North Dakota were due to discrimination by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis against the State of North Dakota. “We shall have to admit that It looks as though there had been concerted action of financiers and banking Interests to hamper, if not to causa the farmers' or ganlzations untold trouble," he asserted, referring to the present conflict now centered about the Bank of North Dakota. He declared the State Institution's difficulties were largely due to the financial depression brought on by action of the reserve bank In demanding that farmers "liquidate,” forcing them to sell their livestock and grain on a falling market manipulated by "speculators and grain gamblers.” The reserve bank, he asserted, grew fearful of the consequences of its action and changed front, sending money into the State to save the situation. Dr. Ladd charged, however, that opponents of the Nonpartisan League had taken advantage of the reserve bank order to attempt to wreck the "farmers' program” of North Dakota. CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION. "In my opinion,” he said, “an Investigation of the Twin City financial control would be of more real interest and value to North Dakota than any other investigation at the present time and might uncover conditions not equaled by the wheat marketing situation. “Discrimination against North Dakota is shown in the funds sent to various States of the Northwest by the Ninth District Federal Reserve Eank,” he said. On Dec. 1, Dr. Ladd said, he was informed by the Ninth Federal Reserve Bank that "the following sums had been loaned: “Minnesota, $70,670,000; Montana, $7,607,000; South Dakota. 511,507,000, and North Dakota only $5,165,000. "Os the $79,700,000 loaned to the banks of Minnesota, about $70,000,000 was loaned to Twin City banks and by them furnished the country banks of the Ninth district. They informed me that during the sixty days preceding Dec. 1, the member banks of North Dakota had liquidated $2,000,000, largely from the western part of the State, through the forced sale of stock and grain. LITTLE REPLACED IN NORTH DAKOTA. “Very little money had at that time been replaced in the North Dakota banks, as this money was used to move the crops. "This situation is largely responsible for the 'frozen credits of North Dakota,' which make it impossible for the Bank of North Dakota to obtain funds due It from privately owned banks and which, just now, form the basis of the political attacks made on the State institution. The bitter fight made against the Bank of North Dakota indicates that the bank is feared. There can be no question that the Bank of North Dakota is frowned on by the bankers and I fear they would not regret to see it destroyed and would probably lend their influence to help bring this about,” Dr. Ladd concluded.

ALIEN MENACE FULFILLS FEAR OF WASHINGTON i Beveridge, in N. Y. Address, Points to Warning of Foreign Propaganda. SCHOOLS NOW AT STAKE NEW YORK, Feb. 22.— Washington's immortal Farewell Address was declared the most practical and prophetic chart of national conduct ever drawn by the sagacity and provisions of man by Albert J. Beveridge in bis address at Carnegie Hall her today at a meeting under auspices of the Sons of Revolution, in celebration of Washington's birthday. "The Mayflower compact, the Declaration, the Constitution, the Farewell Address —these are the massive and solid corner stones of the enduring foundation on which the American people have builded their national well-being and security,” Mr. Beveridge said. "The Farewell Address states not only tbe final Judgment of Washington, but also the settled opinion of every one of that company of statesmen who, by bis side, strove to establish our republic and to make it imperishable—a group of statesmen the like of which the world never before saw or since has seen in a single country at a single times. Washington's final advice to America was the only policy on which all these unrivaled masters of statecraft ever agreed; on other questions they sharply divided; on this, and on this alone, all of them were in complete and militant accord. No such unanimity of judgment ever before or since, in any country or at any time, concluded the prolonged deliberations of the councils of the wise, for the Farewell Address was tha result or almost continuous consultation for nearly four years and at a period not entirely unlike phases of that from which the world Is now emerging. ALLIANCE WITH NONE, GREAT PLEA.

"The heart of this decalogue of Amerlcai ism is friendship for all nations, alliance with none. “Every word of the farewell address might have been written in 1921, so peculiarly applicable is that great' state paper to conditions that afflict the American people today. The gravest anti-American influence in Washington's time was foreign propaganda; it was in 1796 that he declared that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. From the very beginning America has been the most propaganda-ridden country in the world. From the very beginning every foreign government, to the exact extent that its interests were affected, and only as Its interests were affected, has sought to use the United States for its own advantage. It is vital that Americans bear in mind that foreign propagandists, no matter from what nation they come, always strive to advance foreign interests only, and never to promote American interests. "Within recent years tnat ancient process, which so alarmed and angered the poised, fearless and steady Washington, has been renewed with Increased power. Presuming on the circumstance that millions of American citizens are of German blood, the German government, before and during the war, spread Its evil propaganda through every channel of American life. When, at last, we realized that deadly peril to our national security, we crushed it beneath the heel of a mighty and righteous wrath. .JUSTIFIED BY EVENTS TODAY. "At no time since Yorktown has Washington’s prevision been more justified by events than it is today. At no time have we more needed to heed his warning against what he termed ‘passionate attachments' for some nations and ‘inveterate antipathies’ to others. “At no time have Americans had greater reason to observe Washington’s maxim that 'the nation which Indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is In some degree a slave—a slave to its animosity or to Us affection, either of which Is sufficient to lead It astray from its true Interests.’ "At no time has his statement been more fully verified that ‘real patriots, who may resist foreign intrigue are liable to become suspected and odious, while Its tools and dupes usurp the applause ami confidence of the people to surrender their Interests.’ “At n time have the well-hellng and security of the United States more thoroughly required that every eitlzen of the Republic shall be American, wholly American and nothing but American—exclusively American in thought, exclusively American In sympathy, exclusively American In body, mind and soul, heart so overflowing with patriotic devotion that It can hold no other love. CREEFING INTO ALL CLASSES. "Swarms of foreign propagandists are creeping all over America delivering lectures, preaching sermons, giving Interviews. writing articles, cajoling those deemed influential with American public sentiment. They lDfest Ainerlean Journalism, are Invading American universities. bnve captured a section of that small but potent group called American ‘society.’ Worst of all, our common schools are being made culture beds of non-American ideas. “School histories have been written for our children which not only suppress or misstate vital facts, but actually set forth as historical truths recent European views of the origin, nature and mission of the United States. Most of our school histories are still fairly accurate, still predominantly American, bus some new ones —and an Increasing number—might well have been written at the direction of foreign governments.” The suggestion that Great Britain transfer to this country her possessions In the West Indies and British Honduras In payment of her indebtedness to the United States of about $4,500,000,000 was

Little FldUy Flinders had to sit up until past bedtime last night as he didn’t get started on the all-day sucker the tin peddler gave him until nearly noon. Dock Hocks says he well recollects the old days when a fellow could go to the grocery store on Sunday morning, get a box of blacking that bud a scared dog on the label, and shine his own shoes in front and as far around both ways as he could reach. Frlsby Hancock has already had the veil of mystery of next August lifted for him, as ho has read In the almanac where that month was going to be hot with occasional thunder storms. a proposal made by Mr. Beveridge. The same suggestion was iwsd,e with regard to small French possessions In the SVest Indies, consisting of Martinique. Guadeloupe and St. Martin. These transfers would, according to the speaker, relieve Great Britain and France of a large part of their indebtedness and would bring to this country lands that are vital to our national interests. ALLIES HOLDING SPOILS OF WAR. “As spoils of war Britain acquired the most extensive territorial accessions in the history of conquest, while tbs other leading nations at war with Germany, excepting only the United States, vastly extended their territorial possessions. Moreover, Great Britain's hold on the world’s trade is greatly strengthened, while America’s situation as to foreign commerce is desperate. "Great Britidn ow ns most of the West Ip.cUes~-that chain of islands that guard the Gulf of Mexico; she also owns the Bermudas on our southeast and a small but strategic part of Central America, called British Honduras None of these possessions Is of the slightest value to her except as naval stations, and even as naval stations they are of no use to her except as bases for attack upon us, which is. of course, unthinkable. But these possessions are worth considerable to us as outposts of defense. "France, like Great Britain, has a farflung colonial empire— next to that of her mighty and triumphant ally the most extensive and profitable aggregation of dependencies on earth, in area much larger than the United States, Including all our territories and possessions. Insignificant items of her colonial possessions are her West Indian Islands, part of the chain most of which Great Britain owns. These islands are worthless to France, but of some value to us. Might they not be utilized, with mutual advantage to France and America, in the reduction of French Indebtedness J"
