GENEVA. Sept. s.-charges that

United States had been responsible
for the delay in the application Of
mandates by the League Of Nations
were made by Lord Robert Cecil
representative for South Africa. a.
Yesterdays session OF the assembly Of
the league. which took up general
discussion Of the accomplishments
of that body to date.
A furry Of interest spread over the
audience as the South African dele
gate rose and announced he wished
to speak on mandates. Lord Robert
reviewed the whole mandate ques-
ton. during which he took occasion
not only to criticize the policy OF
the United states. but also the lack
OF publicity permitted by the recent
meeting Of the council Of the league.
Reading the note recently sent by
the state Department he SAID that
international affairs would have been
better advanced had it been received
earlier.
These territories" he s i'd re-
ferring to the countries over whicn
mandates were provided by the cove
nant OF the League Of Nations, must
no longer be left in their present
situation, deprived of definite
status or a definite government
He said he did not want to appear
to criticize the United States, "but
the mandates should be settled in the
interest Of the peoples directly in
trusted with them, and without fur
ther delay"
while the interests Of the man.
dated peoples" Lord Robert con-
tinued. "are safeguarded by the
covenant. they are not yet so safe
guarded by the league organiza.

The mandates, he added. must moi
be "camoufaged."
The South African delegate scor.

military commission OF the league
which, he said. had been studyini

without formulating a single con
structive suggestion regarding dis
armament without which no powe
or organization would ever be abl
to make progress toward permanen
peace.
The world cannot afford to 60 o

clared.

The resolution follows;
"The assembly. regretting the de-
Law which has taken place in the
definition of mandates. recognizes
that the council is not responsible
for that delay and is Of the opinion
that II would be desirable that man
dates of the A and B classes should
be forthwith Defined
Upon introducing this resolution
Lord Roberts shouted:
Nations are going on building
ornaments with which to tear one
another to pieces. and in so DONG
thev are tearing themselves 10
pieces"
This assertion was greeted by a
loua outburst Of applause. boro

members might cut off their contri-
buttons IL the league did not sue

ciples
Lord Robert Cecil praised the
frankness of NJ. Branting. but de-
Tended the secretariat OF the league
from charges OF extravaganza and
partiality. The councils work had
been good, Lord Robert said. but
he thought it might have put in a
little more work.
1T is impossible TO settle n dis
mute with satisfaction to both sides, u
he declared in referring TO Mr.
Branting's criticisms of the Aland
Islands award. The fact that the
council had reached a decision
which both parties accepted Loyalty
he regarded as a great achievement
"A continuation OF the Polish
Lithuanian controversy after all the
efforts that have been made to settle
it. is an International disgrace
Lord Roberts said.
He appealed directly to thes'
countries to put an end to the dis
pute. He said he hoped the council
would arrive at a solution OF thu
Silesian question which would ap
peal TO the whole world as just.

THAT OLD COPPER KETTLE

On a big dairy farm the farmer was feed ing bul lcalf his daily ration of skim milk out of big copper kettle. It held about ten gallons and was battered Hp and stained with age and looked as if it had been through the wars.
 Asked about it, the farmer said that kettle had been in the family for four generations and was liable to last four more.
 The family brought it with them from Ohio across the plains with an aN team along with other household belongings.
 It had been used to heat water and cook rations for large company of immi"rnts but was now handed over to the livestock.
 Still it was good for generations to come because copper does not rust and does moi crack and cannot be broken or easily worn out.

NO TIME TO DISRUPT BANKING SYSTEM

1 !
 New legislation increasing the rates on say ino~ in Postal Savings Bank, has been pro- posed.
 Primarily, the Postal Saving Banks were established by our Government to furnish an unquc stionabc safe place for immigrants and foreigners more or less unfamiliar with our customs, to make deposits. A small interest rate of per cent was made to "ncouIag" deposits. This did not iniurc the average bank which paid interest on savings accounts of from to per cent. If, however, the Government increases its Postal Savings rate to 3 per cent it launches some 50,0O0 post masters in direct competition with local bank CTS, and as no bank could have the standing of the Government, it would mean that other banks would be forced to raise interest rates or probably lose the bulk of their savings business to the Government banks.
 The private bank is the one which must he relied upon for the average daily business transactions. By forcing it to raise interest rates to meet Government competition on on" hand, it would be forced, on the other hand, to raise interest rates charged to borrowers in order to increase lis earnings to meet i~t own iucca~rI interest payments on savings This wouId be particularly hard on country banks.
 There k no occasion for mov" such a~ that proposed, which would place th" Govern mcnt in direct competition with our whole banking system. The present Postal Savings Bank ~houd remain unchanged, and the Gov- crnmcnt should aid and cooperate with the banks of the country to take, if possible, bet ter care of the dcpoStor and to surround our banking system with greater safeguards and enable banks to render the fullest service to its customers and the community at the lowest possible cost.
 Let us not disrupt our banking system at a time when it js vital as a stabiIiZing mtIu- encc in this nation.

DRAYTON BOASTS GOVERNOR
 FOR BOOSTING COMMISSION

Thomas E Draytou. ot Seward, who la known throughout Alaska through his vigorous and persistent opposition to the Alaskan Engineering Commits sion. through his articles on Alaska which appear occasionally in Fords international Weekly. and more rr. gently through his candidacy to sue cccd Delegate Sutherland. has directed his attention now to Governor Bon" calling that official to account for comment favorable to the Alaskan En. gncerng Commission and the man ucr in which the work of that organ ization has been done. In view of the possibility of Mir. Drayton entering the primary campaign next spring in opposition to Delegate Sutherland. tn" letter referred to is reprinted in order that readers of The Times may know definitely the attitude of the Seward aspiraut for Congressional honors
 The letter is dated at Seward, and reads as follows:
 If you are correctly quoted in the interview printed in the Juneau Daily Empire of Thursday. October 6. 1921. wish to enter a formal protest against the deception of the public by the publication of the false and mis leading statements therein given out as facts.
 "You the made to say in the al legged interview that The government railroad between Seward and Broad Pass is in excellent condition' and that Cyou) had adverse reports on this project but am glad to say that they were without justification
 Tt is clearly evident that these words were merely a repetition of things put in your mind by persons in terested in conccaling the facts This is shown by the further statement that you were taken over the road in a special car at night The suber- mge thus practiced upon you was so crude that it is amazing a trained journalist as you are should have been hoodwinked
 You have publicly declared your self interested in and kindly disposed toward the Alaska people. I am in clined to believe in your sincerity and will give you an opportunity to demon strate your good faith; which unhap- pily. many Alaskans will now gravely doubt in view of your declarations in that Juneau interview.
