PLANE’S FALL CAUSES DELAY OF AMUNDSEN Ten Days to Two Weeks May Be Required in Making Repairs. Pa.. April 11.—Captain Raold Amundsen, the Arctic explorer, whose airplane fell near Mlola. Pa., yesterday. left here at 8 o’clock this morning for Cleveland. Lieut. H. U. Gad®, who accompanied Amundsen, left fer New York. Three others In the Amund sen party remained at Miola and will bring In the disabled plane to the hangar of the Clarion Aero Club later In the day. It was stated that the Amundsen muthlne was so badly disabled that It will be ten days or two weeks before it can take the air again. A relief plane from the Government field at Bellemonte, Pa., Is now en route here to render assistance. When the Amundsen plane fell the occupants received a bad scare but only a few slight bruises resulted. Washington Briefs WASHINGTON, April 11. —Reparations for damages done In Washington during the armament conference may presently require official action by the L’nited States Government. A claim for them, amounting to $25,000 has already been the subject of informal discussion with the foreign governments involved. If, to quote Article II of the four-power treaty, it “Is not satisfactorily settled by diplemic;" such as now, is being invoked, sterner measures may become necessary. It appears that one of the capital's great mansions which was rented by a certain foreign power as headquarters for its conference delegation was turned back to the owner in rather disJmveled condition. Furniture, it is alBged. was roughly bandied and other “appings suffered such wear and tear that the proprietor's dilapidation bill was fixed at the five-figure sum above mentioned. Also, so the story runs, the establishment generally was left In a state that could not be described as next to godliness. The lessee's Washington envoy offered Sl.nno in settlement. The proffer was scorned and Secretary Hughes Las been asked to go to bat. Washington now possesses the world's first active woman diplomat. Mile. Stepanekova, sister of Dr. Bedrlch Stcpanek. the Czechoslovakia minister. Although not officially accredited to the State Department as a member of the legation staff, she is her brother's constant “right-hand-man” sitting daily at the opposite side of his desk and participating as a valued coadjutato; in virtually every important transaction the minister conducts. Mile. Stepanekova (note that “ova" on the end of a Cxech lady's name) is recognized in the Washington diplomatic corps as a full fledged authority on European politics, particularly those affecting the Slav races of the continent. She speaks with equal fluency In her native Czech tongue. German, Russian, French and Italian and now is mastering “American English.” The other evening Mile. Stepanekova sat at dinner next to Dr. Sze, the Chinese minister. They found Russian the easiest language common to both and talked it gaily. The Pan-American Union, built mainly through the bounty of Andrew Carnegie, seems destined to earn enduring fame as a palace of peace. Not only was it the teene In January of the actual negotiajon and signature of peace between nina and Japan over Shantung, but now it promises to be the arena in which Chile and Peru will fight to an amicable finish their ancient dual over the TacnaAriea question. The commissions which the Chilean and Peruvian governments shortly w 111 send here for the purpose will make their headquarters at the PanAmerican building, where all the real business of the Washington conference was transacted. Latin-American diplomatists await the meetings of the joint commission with lively Interest. They expect It to remove the principal menace to South American peace now existent. .President Harding and Chairman Lasker count confidently on congressional and popular support for the ship subsidy bill In that section of the country where traditionally the subsidy idea has fallen on deaf ears—the Middle West. Many supporting Indications to that effect have reached Washington since the project was first broached three months ago. Friends of the late Marcus A. Hanna recall how he boldly championed the ill-starred ship subsidy program of

the first Roosevelt administration during United States senatorial campaign in the Buckeye State. MeKiuley's great friend had been conducting the campaign for the most part by invoking the memory on a “dead issue’’ and tackle one with which Hanna wag himself actively identified —the ship subsidy bill then before Congress.

Apropos the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to, do Washington is recalling a prized souvenir that used to hang in the office of John E. Wilkie, formerly chief of the United States secret service. One of Mr. Wilkie's many famous coups was the apprehension of an expert counterfeiter who succeeded in fashioning a dollar-note that defied anything but the most consummately expert detection. Thousands of the bills found their way into unchallenged circulation. Chief Wilkie's eagle eye one day discovered a kink no one else had noticed, because the engraving otherwise was perfection. The counterfeiter had left off the words: “Engraved and printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing." When he was safely in the tolls. Chief Wilkie confronted him with his original etching and expressed amazement that so clever a countefeiter should have .lipped so essential a cog. Pride ov artistry was the explanation. “The bureau didn't

Ladd, non-partisan leaguer of North Dakota, is one of the country's great experts on paint. A chemist by profession, he introduced In the North Dakota Agricultural College the United States’ first paint-test laboratory and today Is given credit for the tact that farmers, manufacturers, householders and other consumers can purchase purer and more durable paint than ever before. In the old days the quality was essentially inferior, entailing correspondingly heavier cost to propertyowners.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

AID TO FOOD GROWERS FROM U. S. GOVERNMENT (Continued From Page One.) Interests when they come to periods of depression and trouble. There cannot be much doubt that the revival of the war finance corporation has served a useful purpose and met a legitimate need. • The wealth of freely offered testimony all over the country from the Mississippi River westwa*d cannot be disregarded. One has not tneountered a single dissenting voice. The war finance corporation will not have concluded Its work by the first of will require time to clean up anj bring to an orderly conclusion the operations in which it has been engaged. Under the present law it is empowered to renew loans for a period of two years from the date of the original loan, but an organization will have to be maintained for Inspection, examination and other routine matters of adjustment. The whole transaction and work of the corporation cannot be abruptly and prematurely terminated. That is perfectly clear. The large question that Congress will have to determine Is whether. In the permanent financial system of this country, there should not be Incorporated some agency, or powers given to existing agencies, when the banks are unable to help the producer and he Is forced to sell his products and herds at ruinous prices. The livestock men, including both sheep and cattle raisers, offer a special problem. They require long-term loans. In general, both Interests require a tlm- I lng of their loans that will adjust Itself to the period of raising and marketing a crop, whether it be cotton, grain, beef cattle or sheep. It takes three years from the time a calf is born until it becomes ready for the market as beef. A threemonth loan, or even a six month loan is no good In such a case. The period of flnanclrg must accommodate itself to the', period required for production and mar- j keting, and thlß ranges, roughly, from six months to three years.

RESERVE SYSTEM BEING ADJUSTED. The Federal reserve system Is now adjusted to take care of manufacturing and business finance. It Is not adjusted to the financing o’ livestock and agricultural products, where the slow and orderly processes of nature must be taken into consideration. Community banks, except in special cases, prefer short loans to long ones, and liquid collateral that can be turned readily Into cash. We may come to some system of branch banks that can take care of these large national interests that for the moment have been rescued from ruin, according to their own account, by the war finance corporation. All of these food producers are as much entitled to banking facilities that will be accommodated to tbelr needs as are the business men, manufacturers and other Industries of the country. As has recently been proved, they have a strong hold upon the attention and sympathies of both branches of Congress. So In the end they probably will get what they want. The danger to be avoided Is giving them more than they need or more than Is right and proper and sound tn an economic sense. In the long run It will not be any great help to these people if they come to have a feeling in any time of trouble that they can cal!, of a right and without reserve, on the United States treasury. They should not be made to pay the usurious rates of Interest they have been forced to pay In parts of this country out here at timen, and they should not be forced to sacrifice their herds and products of the earth because of an industrial stringency in the East over which they have no control. To do the right thing will require careful consideration and some sound economic thinking. The lesser and more local problem about the transfer of the Forest Service is interesting to the itinerant Eastern observer because of the apparently general and widespread opinion that the Forest Service should not be touched. One has found no support anywhere to the suggestion that a national forest supervisory organization be set up In the Interior Department. These Western people know from first-hand knowledge what the Forest Service has done and they approve It. They know the personnel of the service. One has yet to find a single voice of any consequence in favor of transferring its personnel or impairing Its esprit d’ corps. If any really determined effort is made to destroy the Forest Service as tt now exists, by transference or otherwise, there will be, one feels safe in saying, a decided protest from this part of the country, where the service is best known and best appreciated.
