SALARY REPORT
STIRS BANKERS
Comptroller Of Currency Wants
Compensation Of Executives to
Be Made Public.

New York, Feb. 25.-Keen inter-
est was evinced in Wall Street to-
day in the order of the comptroller
of the treasury calling for report
on salaries of national bank Off
cials in connection with the ma
tional bank call issued yesterday.
Such report, it was pointed out,
would mean the making public of
the great range of bank officials
salaries, as the law requires that
bank statements in response to the
cotnptroller's call must be publish
ed. Some bankers were reported
to be seeking legal advice as to
whether the order, which was said
to be unprecedented, could be en-
forced.
These bankers were quoted as
holding that publication of such in
formation w~-ld be the source Of
invidious comparison among banks
and mi.ht cause unjust reflections.
Information as to salaries hereto
fore has been furnished to the
comptroller privately by bank ex-
aminers.
The comptroller, in his recent
annual report, criticized ineQuali-
tiles of bank officials salaries. and
expressed the opinion that bank
stockholders should be informed as
to salaries paid to executives.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Unit
ed States government demands
freedom Of cable communication
across the Pacific to the far east,
and insists that the important way
station on the small island Of zap
shall not be given to Japan by the
League of Nations.
The American government in its
latest note, the exact text of which
has not been made public. does not
ask that Yap be given to the Unit
ed States. but that the island be in
ternationalized 30 that it will al
ways be under the joint control Of
the great powers-Great Britain,
the United States, France and Ja-
pan.
The United States contends,
moreover. that Japan never had
any right under international law
to seize the trans-Pacific cable at
zap and that the status which ex-
listed before the war shall be re-
stored. Back of the entire ques-
tion OF cable communication
through the island of Yap is a
greater and even more involved
controversy over the cutting of the
German cables in the Atlantic. The
American companies contend that
both England and France have
seized these Atlantic cables unlaw-
fully and are today depriving the
people Of the United States Of d.
rect cable communication which is
SO important to commercial inter-
course with Germany and central
Europe.
In other words, England and
