at the abolition Of the Office OF Comp

said that restriction rather than aboli-

very admirable fashion. thus avoiding
possible duplication Of effort.

OF power

power to call for special reports
from any particular association
whenever in his judgment the same
are necessary I'm order to fun

which shall be assessed for failure to

II is In regard to the Comp:ruller's
power to call for special reports that
the Riggs bank and NJ, Williams have
their chief points of difference
Comptroller Williams has construed
this section TO give him the broadest
kind OF powers 10 pry into the affairs
OF national banks. The Riggs bank
contends that the section confers no
such powers as the Comptroller con
tends and that II Il does IL is in vio-
lation Of the Fourth and Fifth amend
ments to the Constitution OF the United
States, which guarantee citizens against
searches. seizures of papers and de-
privation Of property rights without due
process OF law.
In banking circles here Il is argued
that no Comptroller OF the Currency up
10 the present time has ever inter
preted the law TO give powers such AZ
Comptroller Williams has attempted to
exercise
1t Is certain that the Administration
wiz resist with all its power any at
tempt to abridge the Comproller's in
depreciation OF his powers under this
section.
II has been suggested on behalf OF
the Treasury officials that the courts
might refuse to interfere with the execu-
tive functions of an officer Of the Gov

or function has been disclosed an in

That Comptroller Williams intends n

about criminal proceedings against of l.
GERS OF the Riggs bank is Indicated by
n statement to-day when he said that
they might he proceeded against. This
statement, coming from the Comptroller
created considerable OF a stir IN Wash

In this connec,icn the issue raised
BY the Riggs Bank court proceedings is
certain to find its way into Congress
with the converting of the next session.
The matter already had been con-
sidered by some Of the CCngress leaders
quietly before the Adjournment of the
last sessicn. 1t was learned to-day that
bill was drawn by prominent West
ern Republican providing for the abol-
ishng OF the office of Comptroller OF
Currency. II was the contention OF this
Republican that the creation of the Fed
eral Reserve Board had made the office
or Comptroller super1uous and that his
duties ought to be exercised by the
Federal Reserve Board
This bill! will be introduced at tho be-
ginning OF the next session, but. of
course. it will be opposed by the Wilson
Administration and probably blocked I'm
Congress. II the Republicans should
carry the next Congress, however. the
result might be different

BEAT AMERICA TO HER KNEES

american people. and then the book
goes on 10 show them what could be
done against America if our navy was
strong enough But the idea Of an
aCtua! war against America could
only appeal to the ignorant in Japan
How absurd it is to suppose that
a nation OF 100000 now almost
bankrupt. could attack a nation OF
100 O0O,O0O, enormously wealthy. and
carry on that attack 5000 miles away
from its base.
Conquered Lands DO Not Pay.
The rulers. of Japan have learned
once for all in their Conquests OF
Korea and FormOsa that it is a long
Zine before conquered land will pay
returns TO the national treasury. Then
how absurd would it be for the Japa-
nese TO attempt to gain wealth on
the other side Of the sea- The nat
ural direction OF Japanese expansion
lies further west Manchuria and
China are closer to Japan, and in
case OF war Japan could fight with
military base comparatively nearby.
1T is unfortunate that any people
n America or in Japan should take
such silly publications seriously. II
the book accOmplishes its purpose and
the Japanese people vote more money
to the navy, it will never be heard
of again. | would like to point out
that this account of the book first APP
peared in America in the Hearst pa
pers. which have always done all in
their power to infuriate the Americans
against the Japanese.
Japan cannot seriously consider
great war. She has no money. She
is still laboring desperately to recover
from the effects of the Russian war.
Her immediate future lies in the d.
rectiOn Of commercial expansion. She
must devote all Of her energy to that /
task
Masnji Aiyakawa, the Japanese law
yer OF New York now in Honolulu,
took a still more active attitude
against the book. Il give no credence
o the book, he said, Il have never
cad it myself, but / know that i'm
nediately after the account OF it
which was published in the Hearst
paper the Japanese cOnsuls Of New
FORK and San Francisco registered bit
or objections to Mr.. Hearst, main
aimed that the article misrepresented
he facts, and asked him to publish q
etraction of the article. The retrac-
ion has not been published.

The foregoing are some Of the more
striking utterances in the book which
is called the Japanese Bernhard"
1t is sO-called because it is written
with the purpose of infuriating the
Japanese people against the United
States and it tells them how easily the
American people might be conquered,
and how the thrifty Japanese laborer
could make excellent use of the rich
American plans
Premier Had Hand In It?
This book was not the work Of one
man. 1t was written by members Of
a great society known as the National
Defense Association, Of which army
and navy officers are members and OF
which Count Okuma, premier of Japan,
is said to be president, This book, pub
lished by the society, is said to be the
most popular in Japan Bearing on
it's title page the picture Of a trium-
phant dreadncught and reversed
American flag and filled with such
imaginary drawings as the Landing
Of the Japanese Army at San Fran
CISCO" his book has swiftly passed
six editions and has reached
| 900, 900 readers.
When approached on the subject Of
the Japanese Bernhard, s. Sheba,
editor of the Hawaii Shinpo, smiled
and shook his head.
This book is simply 7art of the
propaganda started to convince the
Japanese people that they must sup
port larger navy" said Sheba. First
the authors infuriate the people by
telling them absurd things about the
