INTRICATE PROBLEMS
Of WORLD AFFAIRS To
COME BEFORE MEETING
(By Associated Press)

GENEVA, Nov. 15.-Paul Hy-
mans of Belgium was elected presi-
dent of the league of nations today,
receiving 35 cut of Al votes.
GENEVA, Nov. 15.-Determina-
tion to meet the intricate problems of
world affairs and lay firmly foun-
dation of stones for the league of
nations was evident in the demeanor
the delegates of Al countries when
they convened here today for the first
session assembly of the league.
Although differences of opinion
already have arisen relative to the
Danzig question, the makeup of the
commission on mandates, the protec-
tion of racial and religius minorities
in the Balkan states and the admis-
sion of Germany to the league, there
was tday evident disposition on the
part of all delegates to meet every
situation with fairness and an en-
deavor to reach decisions which will
be acceptable.
Men who have been long prominent
in the arena of world politics were
present when Paul Hymans, tempo
rary president and Belgian foreign
minister, appeared on the platform of
the hall reformation and called the
meeting to order.
A. j. Balfour, head of the British
delegation, was not able to attend.
Mosc OF the South and Central Amer
lean countries had full delegations.
The United States is not officially
represented but throughout the ses-
sions there will be present American
"observers," who will keep Washing
ton fully informed of developments.
At meeting yesterday arrange
ments were made for the United
States representation, if desired, on
the financial commission and the COM
missions of econmics and mandates.
Hnduras and Ecuador are the only
other nations which sent no delegates
to the assembly.
The election of permanent presi-
dent and several vice-presidents will
be the first business. 1t is expected
that adjournment will not take place
for three or four weeks.
A definite system of disarmament
and plan of rousng an economic
blockade against nations transgress-
ing the orders of the league will be
among the subjects discussed. A
plan fir an international court framed
at Brussels will also receive atten-
tion.
Japan is no texpected to bring pro-
posals for racial equality before the
meeting, but will take a prominent
part in deliberations. There is no
indication of an effort communicate
with Washington or President-elect
Harding of the United States.

BANKER
STATES
Group Four Hold Interest
Meeting at the Barbara
Worth Hotel; Speakers
Tell of COunty's Needs.

Southern California is in q more
wholesome fir -.dl condition than
any other district in the United
States, H. M. Robinson, president
of the First National Bank of Los
& Angeles, told seventy-five bankers
cf group four of the California
Bankers Association at their an
nual meeting here Saturday night.
"Rediscounts, Of the Los Angeles
members of the federal reserve sys-
tenn have been the lowest of any
member in the twelfth federal reserve
district or any district" he said, "and
in view of this wholesome condition
| can see no reason for becoming pam
icky in southern California"
Taking for the subject of his ad-
dress Financing and Production"
Mr.. Robinson said: Banking, as a
previous speaker has mentioned, is
changing business. Formerly the
banker knew each customer and per-
haps was a part of the enterprises in
the community. The modern theory
is for the community to feel that part
of the created credit should be used
by the varius groups needing credit.
Thus the bankers position becomes
a judicial one for the allocating of
credit and to deter.< me- when the
needs of any group warrant taking
away part of the credit of some other
group.
During the past few years many
feel that in the federal reserve sys-
tem we have found the savior of
credit in case of difficulty.
"The system has been criticised by
bankers and farmers. AS / under
stand it, when crops are held far past
the harvesting period the system
classes it as speculation and attempts
to curb it. l feel that the federal re-
serve system has been trying to steer
the ship of commerce on an even keel
and that it has been right.
"Our old friend. the law of supply
and demand, we have back with us
again. He has been absent during
the war. Now the laws and condi-
tions accounting for it are in the dis

If Arthur p. Davis, director of
the u. S. reclamation service, is
willing, the date of the proposed
conference between Coachella val
ley, Imperial valley and himself
over the Kincaid bill will be chang
ed from Nov. % to Nov. %.
This change is desirable because
Coachella valley is finding it hard to
get here the earlier date.
MI. Davis and the conference will
talk over all angles of the vast prob
lem to be placed before congress on
Dec. 6.
In the meantime plans of the I'M
perial irrigation district for the
drafting of the bill to be introduced
in congress went steadily ahead to-
day.
Walter Kibbey, who will be active
in behalf of the bill in Washington,
is gathering the data which will lbe
Incorporated in the bill. Mr.. Kibbey
hwas not yet decided on when he will
leave for the capiol, and may decide
after Mr.. Davis visits FL Centre. 1t
is probable now that the entire board
of the district will go to Washington
to assist in drafting the bill.
The conference between Imperial
and Coachella will be in the nature of
a joint meeting, as each has contrib
uted towards the Kincaid survey.
Engineer Gault has already for
warded his preliminary report to
Washington. but this is incomplete.
Additional information will be for

PARIS, Nov. 15.-Sebastopol has
fallen, the Russian bo4sheviks having
occupied the city last night accord
ing to unofficial information received
by the French foreign office.
The Bolsheviki are reported to be
masters of the whole Crimean penin-

General Wrangel and the members
of his staff wer etaken abroad the
French warship Rosseau and are ex-

tonight or tomorrow.
Ships loaded with refugees left
Sebastopol when the Bolsheviki enter
ed the city. The ships included Amer

The fate of 100000 people left in
Sebastopol is causing anxiety as the
city has been dependent on the
American Relief organization which
departed.
Wrangel's staff is said to have been
almost wiped out. Propaganda be-

helped the cause of the collapse.
