and effective regulation, than has been
usual in his office, lie has looked to
soundness and results a good deal more

the banks Of a number of complicated
regulations that were Of no practical
service, requiring instead of them the
substance of good banking rather than
technical showings.

WHERE DISHONESTY WINS.

For centuries Persia has been IN

a few decades past, Great Britain and
Russia have Professionally taken pos
session of the country. They have
agreed upon ''sphercs Of influence
whereby Great Britain has the southern
portion of Persia, and Russia the north
err, including Teheran, the capital
There is between these two spheres
neutral zone, which would be the
plumber of either on occasion.
However. there docs not seem TO have
been any great anxiety upon the part
either of Great Britain or of Russia
TO enforce their iurisdictional claims
until Mr Shustcr. an American, was
put in charge of the imperial finances Of
Persia by the National Council of that
empire. Immediately thereupon, all
sorts Of obstacles are put in his way
first by Russia, backed by Germany and
Belgium, and then by Great Britain,
although Mr. Shustcr chose a British
officer to command the treasury guard,
Under the old regime. officers col.
lecting he national revenue stole all
that they could, and the finances were
always in disorder. While this condi,
tion existed Great Britain and Russia
seemed to he easy in their minds. As
long IA Persia WAS helpless financially
they seemed 10 consider that their
claims upon the country were secure,
and their designs sure to work out,
But, as soon as the Persian finances
got into honest hands, taxes fairly col
lected and accounted for in a business
like way, both Great Britain and Rus
sia began To get uneasy They were
fearful that Persia would work out
financially independent. And so Russia
trumps up an excuse about some indi q
nifty 10 vice consul, demands apology
and reparation, threatening invasion Of
Persia if immediate satisfaction is not
rendered. Great Britain, not to he
claims, prepares to move concurrently
with Russia.
And there YOU have it in a nutshell.
Honesty in the national finances Of Per
sia appears TO be the signal for seiz"
ing the Empire by the two European
powers Dishonesty and disintcgration
of tho finances of the Empire could be
borne without either distrust or uneas
mess, but honesty might be fatal to
the claims Of Russia and Great Brit
ain, and so this threatened peril must
be avertcd by immediate steps. 1t is
a base lesson in international morality,
and spectacular illustration of the
benefit of dishonest fnanciering as
with honesty. in a given case.
Persia suffers, and is likely 70 be OBJ
