WHAT AND WHERE.
IS SILESIA
Causes of the Present Euro
pean Controversy

Upper Silesia, the territory in
volved in the present controversy in
Europe was under the dominion of
Poland in the early centuries. 1t was
over-run by Germans, Russians, and
Czeks and as result Silesian war
was waged in 1742. Germany secured
the greater part of the territory,
which lies at the extreme southeast
ern boundary of Prussia, bordering
on the present republics Of Poland
and Czecho- Slovakia.
At the Peace Conference following
the world war, it was agreed that the
population and interests of this terri
tory were chiefly Polish, but at the in
sistance of Premier Lloyd-George Of
England, the terms of the treaty of
Versailles called for the ceding of the
territory to Poland only after a pie
biscite or vote of the people had been
established under interallied auspices.
Control of this district is therefore in

the hands of the allies through the
decisions and rulings of the Supreme
Council of the League of Nations.
Following the agreement Of the allies
to establish a plebiscite, troops of the
allies, England, France, and Italy,
were sent into Silesia to enforce the
terms of the treaty. Dissatisfaction
of the population resulted in closing
Of the mines, general disruption of in
dustry and subsequent insurrection
by both the German and Polish in
habitants. The majority of the people
in some districts voted to have the
country belong to the republic Of Po-
land; the majority in other districts
voted to belong to Germany. A small
neutral district remains.
Recently there have been uprisings
and some attacks upon the interallied
troops stationed in the territory
French reports ascribe the trouble to
German agents who are said to be
stirring up the clashes between the
Polish and German inhabitants
France maintains that as the allied
troops are too few to keep order and
even to protect themselves, and that

Strong Personnel Banks
Best investment, Is View
Belief Being Increasingly Rec
ognized, r. Ii. Williams Tells
Bankers Forum Meeting

A healthy, intelligent personnel is
an investment as potentially profitable
as any that bank may make, accord
ing to Roger II. Williams, vice-presi-
dent of the National Bank of Com
merce, speaking at the Bankers Forum
meeting at the Hotel Pennsylvania last
night
Banks are recognizing this increas-
ingly, SO far, chiefly in brain buying.
Mr.. Williams said, and are appointing
counselors and voting money to assist
their employees who want to take ad-
vantage of outside intellectual oppor-
tunities in order to better fit them
for their jobs.
Mr. Williams also touched upon the
moral obligations of banks to the pub
lie. saying that any bank that becomes
q mere money-makiag machine for its
officers and directors, instead of a
guide and adviser, lowers the standard
Of the whole banking profession.
Frederick w. Gehle, director of pub
licity of the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank, expressed the belief
that an international group OF bust
ness men and bankers would help make
it possible for capital and credit again
TO inject life into foreign trade and
rehabilitate European countries.

Japanese and Americans Hold
Different Views ON Raw Silk
Farm Bureau against
American TaIuatiOn

The American valuation plan Of
imposing import duties will amount
to a practical price-fxing scheme
in the opinion of Guy Silver of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in letter to Lew Hahn, managing
director OF the Nation Retail Dry
Goods Association.
"We are not opposed to the prin-
ciplc of protective tariff within
equitable bounds" says the letter,
"but we are opposed to such duties
that will bar foreign manufactured
goods from selling in fair competi-
tion with American articles. The
practical result of American valua-
tion will be governmental whole
sale price determination upon a
much larger scale than was at
tempted during the war"
