DIRECTORS DON'T DIRECT
Must Attend to Business or Quit,
Foster Declares


Topeka, Aug. 12.-F. II. Foster,
Kansas bank commissioner, is. plan
ming to make the directors Of the
state banks attend to the business
of the institutions. Mr.. Foster has
been bank commissioner only since
April, but the chief trouble he has
found with the banks which are
found to be in bad shape by the ex-
aminers is that the directors don't
direct" They simply attend meet
ings of the board, draw their pay
and let others run the banks as they
see fit. -
''1 am planning to issue an order
directing that each director Of every
state bank must function as a direc-
tor or be held equally responsible
with the bank officers" Mr.. Foster
said. "Every bank that we have
had trouble with since / came into
Office got into the trouble because
the directors were not doing their
duty. The Hanover State Bank,
wrecked by August JJaedicke, and
the Peoples State Bank at Salina
were fine examples Of banks where
the directors were not working.
There are a lot of banks that get
into difficulties that do not warrant
this department taking charge and
in aImost every instance'the trouble
arises and grows because the direc-
torates are not functioning."

AN UNREcKoNED ENEMY
Russian Reds See Peril In Famine
Not Capital Now

Reval, Esthonia Aug. 15--Famine
resulting from crop failure, is far
more feared by the Communist die
tators Of Russia than any develop
ment Of capitalism that might come
from recent concessions toward free
trade, according to speeches by Len
Inc and other Communist leaders,
editorials in Bolshevik official news
papers and other information from
Moscow reaching the Baltic states.
Lenine, writing for the Baku Com
munist, as reported by the official
Bolshevik telegraphy agency, Rosta,
a few days ago, said; There Is
nothing to fear in the rise Of small
farming and small industry. It can
not be dangerous TO our big industry
Something else is to be feared. In
case Of a bad harvest, there can be
no diminishing in the crisis Of the
working classes"
