native needs white supervision
in work such as mine.
First I found myself passing
a group of cages containing
one hundred Malaccan cocka-
toos, the biggest Of the white
cockatoos-s oc a led, although
they have a pinkish tinge. I
looked to see whether they had
been supplied with grain, fruit
and water. Everything was o.
K. here and I walked on to
the cages that housed the
honey bear cubs. Finding that
these little fellows were plenti-
fully supplied with their rice
and-milk mixture, I moved on
to a vicious orang-utan in an
adjoining cage. My primary
concern was that the big fel-
low should have plenty of clean,
fresh straw for his bed, and
blanket. He knew just how to
spread the straw out on the
floor of his cage; and on cool
nights he rolled himself up in
the blanket like any other
lover of comfort. I made an
inspection at a safe distance,
for this ill-natured ape had
habit of reaching out through
the bars, and I had no desire
to be embraced by him. Ali
had done his job well here, so
moved on to the next Speci-
men.
The Splitting Cobra
This was the splitting cobra
that had caused all the trouble
at Joe'S plantation. So that
it would be where it could do
the least amount of damage
and where it could be conven-
iently handled-its box had
been placed in the corner of
deep table-high shelf adjoining
the big orang's cage. It would
have facilitated matters from
the standpoint of safety if a
board could have been kept
over the top Of the box. But
this would have shut out all
light and the reptile would not
have thrived. This phase of
my problem would be- solved
as soon as Hin Mong, my ef-
ficient but slow-moving Chinese
carpenter in Singapore, dellv-
cred the glass-top snake box
had ordered.
Needless to say, I exercised
all the caution at my COM
mand in making my inspection
Of this treacherous reptile.
Here I had my first moment
Of annoyance, for when
pulled the box forward from
the depths of the shelf and
gave the contents a hasty
glance I saw that Ali had
failed to place a drinking can
inside. A sardine tin is used
for this purpose. 1t is placed
inside the box by the simple
process of opening the wire top
at one corner and working the
can through the opening.
At Johore we had watered
this rascal by merely dumping
a bucket of water into his box,
the method I usually use with
reptiles en- route. That's one
way Of giving a snake a drink.

snake had its own drinking tin,

flecting the stress of financial affairs
in its trade territory. the average in
terror town and city is carrying on
with a decreased trade and with some
coming four months.
1t does not appear now that the har-
vest income will bring the usual stimu-

to a few hundreds, and this year 1t will

With Spring business below that OF

follow. Such special sales as have

UNIT BANK SYSTEM
CRITICISM IS MADE

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Economic Association
deploreS what 1t terms the American
practice of polishing off a successful
business career by becoming president
Of the local bank.
The association, which has for its
purpose the encouragement of economic
research, declares this practice is a
major defect of the American unit
banking system. especially in small
banks.
The result of such practice, it says,
Is poor management.
IN general" it reports, "the officers
are of an inferior sort. Perhaps the
cashier, and a few others in the bank,
has had some formal training in bank
ing procedure and principles, but the
training of the president and others re-
sponsible for running the bank has
probably been alone different lines. The
leading citizen in most communities
usually hopes to complete and polish
of his business career, whether he be
the successful grocer or butcher, by be-
coming the president of the local bank
They usually are not bankers"
Admitting there are many fine excep-
tions to the generalization, the associa-
tion declares that ordinarily such men
are typical small-town men, often
called hardheaoed business men and
the backbone of our Nation" possessing
little knowledge of the fundamental
and far-reaching principles of banking
Such men are also charged by the as
sociation with resisting the collection
and filing of data on local and more
general business conditions which af-
feet their bank, and with resisting
modernizing methods, while at the same
time permitting sentiment to play toe
large part in the making OF local
loans.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Steel man

Copper became available at record

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Taking the
position that the causes of the depres-
sion have been discussed until the SUBJ
ject has become as tiresome as it ii
futile, Frazier Jelke & Co., in an in
vestment survey just published. outline
five major developments which must
appear in the earlier phases of economic
recovery:
!. Progress must be made toward a
gradual and sound solution of the vex-
ing debt problem brought about by the
decline in commodity prices which has
followed an era OF reckless spending.
2. Strong personal leadership must
appear in the field of government and
politics able to express and execute the
demands of the citizenry for a national
economic policy and sufficiently cour-
ageous to strive for the elimination of
corruption in public Office which has
undermined public and private morality.
3. Serious barriers to free move
ment of goods and commodities among
the nations of the world must be re-
duced
4. Unsupportable living standards
temporarily made possible by unsound
installment buying practices must be
completed.
S. New increments of capital must
be accumulated through a revival of
thrift.
Distress among debtors, as in the
past, is dividing economic thought into
two opposing schools, those who seek re-
lief in an imitation Of currency and
credit sufficient to effect rise in prices,
and those who contend that initiation
is cowardly policy destined to end in
greater disaster" says the survey.
The alternative for imitation is debt
revision. Debts may be reduced or
eliminated through the normal process
OF repayment only to the extent of
ability to pay. The least pleasant and
most drastic method of elimination
or revision is partial or complete repu-
diation.
THE fundamental defect in an infia-
zionist program is the impermanency
Of relief obtained. History teaches that
the infiationary engines boiler has no
safety valve: to obtain ever-increasing
speed in pleasant journey into the
land of illusion, society always piles on
more fiat money fuel until an explosion
occurs. The customary result Of fat
money explosion is debt reputation and
not debt settlement.
THE principal barriers to a free
movement Of goods and commodities
among nations are a war-sponSored
spirit of super-nationalism, unusually
high tariff barriers. unequal distribution
of the worlds gold supply. maladjust-
nents in foreign exchange rates and the
unnatural Central European political
boundaries created by the treaty of Yer
sailles. All forces which tend TO level
trade barriers will be constructive fac
tors in economic recovery.
The result of this orgy of spending
has made necessary a period of re-
trenchment in which living standards
inevitably will be lower than would
have been necessary had the late un-
pleasantness' not occurred The ap-
pearance of old-fashioned thrift
whether it be voluntary or involuntary
will be one of the symptoms of recov-
cry"

Current statistical data available to

May 7. The trend, the department
said. was toward slightly lower levels,
after allowing for seasonal factors.
Bank debts outside New York were

past, and were below the level of year
ago Tor the first time since February.

tinued to feature the financial situation,

Money in circulation increased mainly
as a result Of local condition which
has since been alleviated. The upward
trend OF time deposits continues, but de-
mand deposits declined. Interest rates
were only slightly changed. Security
prices again receded.
Wholesale prices worked lower, with
agricultural and non-agricultural prices
on slightly. Metal and cotton prices
were firm, but No. red Winter wheat

featured Japan's foreign trade for April.
Exports were valued at 92,600 900 yen,
against l0l 100000 in March, while i'm
ports totaled 142,600000 yen, compared
with 166 5000 yen in the previous
month. The drop was due largely to
smaller shipments of raw silk, valued at
81 100000 yen, against 24700,0 900 yen in
March and decline in raw cotton i'm
ports from 72,200,000 yen in March to

The general movement Of merchan-
disc in the Philippine Islands Is re-
ported as being further curtailed by the
necessity of restricting credits to small
