The committee sent to the gov

General Macarthur staged the

the banks of that country are all

In all Maryland communities
citizens took the closing of the

Governors Statement
In a statement in which he de-
clared he believed the interests
of depositors would be better
served by proclaiming a mora
torium, Governor Ritchie said:
81 attended the meeting Of
bankers this evening with the
idea Of doing whatever is best
for the depOsitOrs. The inter
estS Of those who have placed
their money in the banks must
be preserved above everything
else.
"I believe there is no justifi.
cation for the Withdrawals
which recently have been TAX
ing place. But to protect the
property and savings Of the
people of the city and State,
these large Withdrawals should
stop.
"It was the consensus that a
bank holiday should be de-
cIared tomorrow Saturday,
Monday, and Tuesday, during
which time certain legislation
for the protection of the de-
pOsitorS and security Of the
banks could be presented to the

Failure of the House Appro.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. IS G.N.S).
The depression has swept away
the income of many individuals,
but a more important form of
wealth is now threatened. This
is the store Of knowledge and in,
telligence which resides in the
minds of the American people.
It has taken ages to create this
wealth-to reach the place where
men are able to govern them
selves-to reach the place where
democracy is a practical form OF
government.
More Education Needed
And yet, there are those who
would endanger this most i'm
portant store of wealth. They
would declare a moratorium on
education because the depression
makes it hard to pay for it. They
would either close down or cripple
the school-the institution which
the forefathers declared to be
necessary if our form Of govern
ment was to endure, and which
the common people have built up
during more than a century Of
struggle.
This must not be permitted
One uneducated generation and
we are lost. Not less, but more
of the right kind of education is
what the present emergency calls
for.

speaks with that force or authority
which springs exclusively from the
caliber, and not the mere total, Of its
adherentS.
When Japan defied the League last
Spring on the Manch,rian issue 1t was
said that while the remote Far East
might be eliminated as a field in which
Geneva could any longer hope to exer-
else its jurisdiction, the League would
always be factor to be reckoned with
in the domain Of Occidental affairs.
When the Assembly was opened last
month Premier Mowinckel of Norway,
president Of the Council. lamented the
Leagues failures" in Mahchuria and
in the fields Of disarmament and world
economic recovery. but pointed to its
successful mediatory efforts in the Per-
sian, Letician, Greenland and Chaco
disputes.
But now, in the very heart Of its
home territory-Europe-a on an is
sue, disarmament, affecting its most
important members, the League has
demonstrated its complete incapacity.
That rugged optimist, Arthur Hender-
son Of Great Britain, chairman Of the
Disarmament Conference, is still hope
full that when it reconvenes next week,
ways and means for averting total
wreck will have been discovered. If
that proves impossible it will be diff
cult to escape the conclusion that the
League faces bleak outlook. It's abil-
ity or otherwise to come to grips wi u
disarmament will be the acid test OF It's
effectiveness. The great European
powers which are Genevas remaining
bulwarks have the opportunity and the
grave responsibility Of demonstrating
whether or not the League of Nations
has any continued and solid excuse for
existence.

Der s. admit that there IS famine
In Russia at the present time. But
during. the czarist regime even more
millions died of famine and neglect.
Hundreds of families were without the
services Of doctor or even a pharma-
ciSt. The masses were not given as
much consideration as we give our cat
tie. After ALL in our own land of
plenty, people are hungry, and it is a
well known fact that grain is rotting
in the granaries.
It is appalling to realize that any citi-
zen OF a country whose masses are sup
posed to enjoy liberty and equality can
uphold such tyranny as the czarist re-
gime. The masses were illiterate
Rural schools were almost unknown
Indeed, the ignorance of the peasants
was the very essence of the power of
the ruling class. The Gar and his
official family were afraid to educate
them. And yet there seems to be a
pathy for those who are struggling and
winning this fight for the very privi-
leges (such as q public school educa-
tion) that they themselves would
guard with their lives should any gov
ernment try to take them away. The
inherited scourge Of illiteracy will be
pretty well liquidated by the end of
the second decade under the Soviet
government. What commendable prog
ress! One can hardly believe that
"culls" would do so much for mankind.
The steady growth of education has
raised the standard Of living and will
remedy any evils which may still exist:
1t is not to be expected that all the
deep-rooted evils Of centuries can be
upturned in q mere 20 years.

The Future of the League.

AS soon as the immediate repercus-
sions of the disarmament crash at
Geneva have spent their force specula-
tion is bound to ensue as to the future
of the League Of Nations. Discussion
will range around the question as to
whether with the withdrawal of Ger
many, following so closely upon the de-
partwe of Japan, the League can sur
vive such blows to its prestige. What
will be the status of an international
organization from which four of the
worlds great powers-the United States,
Russia, Japan and Germany-are
absentees?
It would be premature to forecast
that the League has already outlived its
usefulness and, in its emaciated con-
dition, might as well disband. As
long as Great Britain, France and
Italy, to say nothing Of host of smaller
states of the world, maintain their al
legiance to it the Geneva organization
will continue to speak for the over
whelmtng majority Of civilized nations
But with four out OF the worlds seven
recognized principal powers outside the
League, 1t will be idle to pretend. no
matter what Its remaining roll Of mem
