Great Britain is concerned over
Chinese wars. Certain British mis-
sionaries have been kidnapped in CEN
trial China and are said to have suf-
fered ill-treatment at the hands of
their captors.
In a civilized country there is full
justification for the wish to protect
our missionaries; yet it must be con-
coded that we send them out volun-
tarily, and they go willingly with the
full knowledge that for the most part
they are not wanted in heather lands.
The masses do not want them and
often resent their intrusion. With
the exception of few far-sighted
pagan leaders who attribute Ameri-
cas- and England's success to the
Christian faith, even the statesmen in
un-C Christian lands do not want them
and likewise resent their intrusion.
Obviously we cannot protect them
merely because they are Christian
missionaries. We must protect them,

For the last three hundred years
America has suffered through the
false conception of Europe as to the
purpose and destiny of the western
hemisphere. The United States has
been looked upon primarily as dump
ing ground for the refuse of other
nationalities. Had it not been for the
sturdy religious pioneers who fled
from European ecclesiastical tyranny
we would have been nothing else.
England began by sending over
many convict ships loaded with some
of her worst criminals. We still
have their descendants to deal with
England and other European coun-
tries, not satisfied with merely turn
ing America into a dumping ground
for convicts instituted a gigantic
slave trade with the results that we
now have fully ten million negroes to
nurture and protect, and incidentally
to deal with. The slave traffic was
no an American institution. 1t was
European and Asiatic. We have
stopped that with England's protest,
but we still are dealing with its
effects.
For twenty years Europe colonized
the United States with its poorer
population at the rate of million a
year, who passed through Ellis Island
with the proper credentials, and no.
body knows how many others were
struggled in and never recorded.
Recently we called halt, fully
realizing that we have now great
many more Europeans of antagonistic
ideals than we can as,imilate prop
erly in the next hundred years. We
now demand better class of foreign
immigrants and are getting them.
Japan began not long ago to colon.
ize California, and were furiously
peeved when we reared polite barri-
cade. Japan has not liked us since,
and may take the first opportunity to
show her resentment, if not by arms,
certainly by some other method. Japan
cannot come back at us with a counter
law forbidding Americans to colonize
japanese territory, for Americans do
not wish to migrate. But they may
harass our missionaries, and cause us
no little inconvenience in commerce.

Labor Conditions
In China Frightful

Honolulu, Hawaii Aug. 18.-In a
lecture on Oriental labor conditions
Miss Mary Dingman pictured an APP
palling state of affairs in China.
Thousands of children, some of them
scarcely more than babes, work in
silk spinning mills, while thousands of
women toll from IA to 10 hours a day,
seven days a week
Labor conditions in China are
about as they were in England at the
end of the eighteenth century," said
Miss Dingman. "From 20 to 80 per
cent of the textile workers are women.
Little children workers frequently be-
come so fatigued from the long shifts
that fall against the machinery and
are badly injured or are killed. The
machinery is unguarded and there are
no compensation laws"

Following something like the meth
cd adopted by the horse thief detec-
tive associations of the early part OF
this century Champaign county has
recently been organized under the
Illinois Bankers association for pro-
lection against bank robbers.
According TO reports tentative OF
ganization has been formed to serve
under the direction of Sheriff John
Gray and deputies, who are to have
charge of conducting raids throughout
the county in case the territory Is IN
tested by robbers. The organization
Is to act as a vigilance committee.
Ii is composed of men who will serve
as minute men, ready to act at a mo-
ments notice when called.
The Bankers association has an
nounced its intention to cooperate by
offering reward of $1,000 for every
bank robber caught or slain. The
state will add another $1,000, and the
reward will be paid the man or men
who trap the robber Reports indicate
that the number of rewards TO be
given out is unlimited, both the state
and Bankers association acting upon
the theory that the reward is trliling
compared to the danger of having a
desperate loose in tn ecounty. 1t is
expected that other counties will fol-
low the example of Champaign county.
The organization will be composed
of men from every village in the
county as we'll as Champaign and
Urbana, the number ranging from
three to ten in each community. One
hundred-eight picked men are already
enlisted, and are to be equipped with
rifles furnished by the Bankers asso-
citation and revolvers which they are
expected to purchase for themselves.
A plan of immediate notification and
mobilization in case of robbery will
be conducted through telephone COM
munication. Every man will be in
structed to get his man, "alive if pos
sible, but dead if necessary" after
first making sure that the fugitive is
a robber.

if at all, because they are American
or English subjects. International
law provides such protection.
Another cause of England's concern
is a Chinese regulation forbidding
the entrance into the Canton harbor
Of English and japanese vessels. The
well known animosity between China
and Japan accounts for the ruling
against japanese ships, but British
statesmen do not see why English
ships should be subjected to the same
order. Perhaps it is because Of the
fri ndship of England for Japan.
The latter nation has been seeking
foot-hold on territory belonging 10
other nations. Its expanding popula-
ton demands additional land, and it
must seek refuge somewhere.
Throughout the world the doors are
closed. No nation has territory to
give or sell Japan, and that nation
must eventually curtail its ever in
creasing population, or encroach upon
other lands.
Some years ago Japan succeeded in
obtaining large territory from
Russia. But all Russian land now
available through purchase or con-
quest is fngid in climate and not
especially suited to the japanese
temperament. They prefer southern
California, or some equally promising
port. We have shut our doors to
japanese immigration as a matter of
sane Self-protection. Other nations
have done likewise, and now the
japanese are in quandry whether
to violate the international code and
obtain land by conquest, or to brow
beat China into whiting off a section
of her large domains. But China, too,
with her five hundred millions, has an
expansion problem, and has to protect
her own.

Labor Day and now mas entrus'-
ed to it the immense sum Of
s12OO0,000.
There is nothing supernatural
about banks, but workers con
tinue to regard them with ave.
What would be the amazement
Of the worker of a century ago on
seeing labor enjoying it own
holiday, having its Spokesman IN
the councils of the nation, own
ing its own banks, life insurance
companies, cooperative and It's
millions of members marching
steadily on to a better day. We
have made great progress.
Labor is realizing its power N
constructive ways. 1t is begin
ming to put money in its purse,
to realize the immense adyan-
tage of credit and purchase pow
er, it is Strengthening its banks
with the object of meeting the
great financiers on an equal foot
ing.
That labor banks should be
successful is natural. The time
was ripe for it. That the public
should support labor banks is
natural, for the public leans to-
ward labor. As a result Of labor's
participation in finance is coming
new alignment, mutual respect,
a keener appreciation Of the points
of view of labor and capital. II
will lead to a clearer understand
ing. 1t is this appraisal of pro
gress made that warrants US TO
celebrate joyfully and to mark this
Labor Day, 1925, as of biggest
promise, most rich in achievement.

ton offered by the Review sometime
ago in an editorial discussing the
weakness of the proposed state con-
stabulary measure.
The Review suggested that the pro
lection of banks against bank rob
bers was primarily a duty Of the
Bankers association and not a duty
Of the taxpayers Of the state. The
fact which called forth this sugges-
ton was the urgent demand Of the
Bankers association for the passage
of the Dunlap Constabulary bill. The
bill failed for two reasons: First, be-
cause as planned it provided for a
force Of highway policemen totally
inadequate for the duties assigned.
Second, because the history of state
highway police organizations indicates
that they have been grossly misused
against Labor. Consequently Labor
has been opposed to the creation Of a
state constabulafy.
Labor will consent to the states
paying 81 900 a head for every bank
fobber caught or killed for the reason
that such a reward will be paid after
real results have been produced.
Labor does not believe the state
should pay out funds and keep a force
of men as highway policemen whose
work may be negligible, even if such
a force is not used against Labor as
has been the case in other states.
1t appears that Champaign county
is going at the matter in sensible
manner in putting the force entirely
under the direction of the sheriff and
his deputies. The state constabulary
in the last two sessions oil
the legislature, provided for an indie
pendent body of patrolmen with no
head except at Springfield. The posi-
biity of cooperation with police de-
partments and county officers was rem
dered doubtful. The possibility Of
rivalry was acute. Under the tenta-
tive organization which is planned in
this county there will be thorough CO.
operation. The supreme point, of
is the selection of competent
men. Eventually the force will be
manned by the best talent in the
Then it may prove eXpedient
for the county board of supervisors to
make an appropriation for the build
ing up of the organization.

A Labor Day of
Biggest Promise
BY PETER J. BRADY
President, Federation Bank of
New York.


New York.
Labor Day is always momentous,
a day of rejoicing, day of visual
izing how much has been done and
how muct still is to be won. Labor
Day, 1925, is rich in promise for
the labor movement is marching on
to new goals.
OF all the newer enterprises of
labor none have been more sue
cesSful than labor banks. That
idea is little more than five years
old, yet it has been overwhelm-
ingly successful from the start.
1t has not been merely a pooling
of interests of labor. 1t has at
tracted great support from the
public, 1t has increased the pres
tlge of our movement and is be-
coming a great educational force,
for the workers who own these
banks and for those who have been
entrusted with their administra-
ton. Labor is learning the game
Of finance in the most practical
school of experience. All of this
knowledge will be at the disposal
of the movement, to guide and
safeguard it, at all times.
The growth of the thirty and
more labor banks has been grad
ual and sound. Beginning with
what might rightly be termed A
visionary idea, these financial in
stitutions of labor have put solid
foundations under them in the
form of deposits and resources at
present over $l25,0OO,OOO. The
Federation Bank has been par.
teularly inspiring, for it has
doubled its resources since last
