AMERICAN BANKER
AUTHOR FEDERATION

Belgrade, June Is, (By Mail,)-
Plans are bein gformulated here to
utilize the money sent home or
brought home rom the United States
by natives of Jugo-Slavia to enable
this country to purchase goods in the
United States or elsewhere.
To accomplish this, steps are being
taken to organize General CoOpera-
tive Federation. A convention for
that purpose soon will be held in Bel
grade. 1t is proposed to unite in this
federation fourteen cooperative I'M
ions existing in Serbia, Slovenia, Croa-
tia and Dalmatia Each union is COM
posed of smaller units known as IA
druga," or loan associations which ex-
list in all branches of industry.
The largest among the fourteen I'M
ions is the Federation of the Serbian
Farmers Cooperative Societies. Al
together the unions have total mem.
bership of 100000 heads of families,
corresponding to about 100000 per,
sons.
If the general federation of these
fourteen unions is accomplished, II
is proposed to establish central
bank of Belgrade. This is considered
the most practical effort yet made 10
re-esttablish credit in Jugo-Slavia. The
new Federation would sell products
and purchase for all its members, In
troduce modern machinery, gather the
savings of emigrants and aid the farm
ers to cultivate the land. 1t is in
tended to be not political but econo-
die and might easily be tire most pow
erful institution of Jugo-Slavia.
L. F. Lupsis-Vukic, of Dalmatia,
banker, who lived for many years IN
America, is the author of the fedora
tion plan. He said that he expected
200 900 of the nearly 100000 Jugo-
Slays in the United States to return
their homes here bringing Ameri-
can push and the money they have
earned in the United States.
"The money sent home by inml-
grants will be paid to home people in
domestic currency" he said. Amer
can money deposited with the Fedora
ton will be used as buying power
abroad. If we organize the money OF
the Jugo-Slavs in the United States
who intend to return, we shall OBJ
tain a fund of between 500,00o,o00 ant
/ 1000, 900 900 francs. The needs OF the
country are great in agricultural ma
chinery. shoes, clothing and all KINDS
of iron domestic utensils"

JAPANESE ADOPT
HARMONIOUS POLICY

Toxic, May neutrality-suspicious.
OF The Associated Press 1.-The pol
icy recently adopted in military cir
cles in Japan to work less independ-
emily and more In harmony with the
cabinet ministers as whole is due
to the determined Intervention of the
Advisory Council on Diplomatic AT
fairs says the Toxic newspaper night
night. This is the body of distinguish
ed Japanese which was appointed two
years ago by the Emperor to advise
the cabinet on matters pertaining to
nation policy and relations with
foreign countries.
The newspaper says that the Dip
lomatic Council has used it's influence
to restrain the army, especially in the
publication of reports bearing on
diplomacy. 1t had been the custom OF
| the General Staff of the Japanese
army to issue reports concerning not
matters touching the diplomatic and
political situation. This practice. it is
understood, has very often embarras
sed the Foreign Office. Some of these
military reports concerned the Ameri
can army in Siberia.
In this connection it is to be re
marked that the influence of the
military group in Japan is very pow
erful throughout the Empire. Since The
recent friendly address of Genera
Tanaka, the War Minister, at lun
cheon given in honor of Roland S
Morris the American Ambassador
there has been a marked change il
the tone of the Japanese press whicl
now less frequently suspects Ameri
can motives as world power. es
pecially in China and Siberia.

JAPAN NOT WHOLLY
UNSELFISH TOWARD CHINA

Toxic, Junc 12-(Correspondence
of The Associated Pressl Japan
does not pretent to be wholly unset
fish in her policy toward China" says
the Herald of Asia, a conservative
journal of Japanese thought. Japan
is protecting China chiefly for the
sake of her own security" the paper
continued
Japan cannot allow China to bar
ter away her birthright even is she is
simply enough to engage in such folly
If China wants to test Japan's SINGER
ity let her refuse all further CON
cessions to occidental nations and
secure for all time the inalienat of
her territory, and Japan's task is re-
gard to China will be finished.
at is a question: however, whether
China is yet able to do without the
assistance of Japan in keeping for
eign nations at bay; and this help
strange to say, is just what China does
not want. Is it that China would
rather be a slave of the white races
than the equal of Japan? We can hard
iy credit this.
There is no need for China to be
anxious about the return of kiauchow
Japan has promised to restore the
territory to China just as soon as
China is able to guarantee that it will
not agan fall into the hands of third
party. What more can China desire!
And does justice require more? CHINA
talks as if she were an absolutely in
depent nation, granting concessions
to no country If she will take thi'
attitude toward all western countries
Japan will be ready to concedt
China her new status. But to show
desire to cast out Japan while leaving
the others in place, is something nj
one can expect Japan to approve.
