THE FOREIGN BANK

Another foreign bank has gone up, this time in
New York City. Three brothers conducting bank
and steamship agency in Little Italy" disappeared
and soon thousands of crazed depostors clamor
ing at the doors. There may be shortage Of million
mere.
Many thrifty Italian now will never return to
Italy as he planned. Many prosperous family is
duced to poverty with the savings of lifetime wiped
out And all because, immigrants often do

1t seems sometimes if all that any slick for
eigneT has to do in this country is to hang Bank
sign and people of mis- will crowd around and beg
him to take their money In the referred to, it
is said that the sefsyled bankers authorized
bankers at ALL Chicago has long been notorious for
similar cases.
One of the things in which the foreign population
particularly needs to be educated is the nature of the
banking business and the character of banks to which
they may safely entrust their money. There should
be boycotting of honest and legitimate bankers of
foreign birth but the line should be drawn very clear
y between responsible and irresponsible banks Some
financial institutions, in cities with large foreign
population doing excellent work along this line,
spreading information and encouraging thrift at the
time that they are building up business for
themselves

TWO WORLD TRIBUNALS

There is naturally good deal of confusion in
peoples minds regarding the Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice, which President Harding wants
the United States to accept, and the old Hague Tr
bunal.
The latter has been merely court of arbitration.
That is to say, its function is to adjust disputes be-
tween nations in rather informal way, very much
friend might adjust dispute between two business
1t operates mainly by conciliation and compro
mise
The new court on the other hand, is q law court.
Its procedure is to apply generally recognized prin-
cipes of international law to any coming before
it and to build up a code adequate to meet new and
changing situations.
Neither of these tribunals has any authority"
after the manner of ordinary courts. They cannot
force their DEGREES. Little danger therefore, need be
feared from either The Court of international JUS
tce however, clearly holds great promise, for any
one who believes in the ultimate possibility of reign
of law among nations. The court, properly support
ed build up the necessary legal system, little by
little. Then, if the time ever comes when the nations
willing TO back that world court with force, to
make its decisions as effective those of national
courts, it will be but short step.

THE WAR PRISONERS

Speaking of the men in this country still serving
sentences of imprisonment for opposing the war, Sen
ator Borah says:
"Let US bear in mind that these men not in
prison at the presen. time by reason of any acts of
violence either TO person property These men are
in prison today separated from their families having
health undermined and suffering, solely for the
reason that they expressed their opinion concerning
the war and the activities of the government in its
prosecution of the war"
The American public approved Of their imprison-
ment in the beginning because they interfering
unduy with the winning of a vital to the national
safety and honor. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
any useful purpose is served by keeping them shut up
