Bankers and the Law.

From the Wall Street Journal
Oficers of the Federal Government
have moved with unusual dispatch to
determine whether or not the closing
of the Hartman National Bank in
New York resulted from irregularities
of any sort in its management. O6iciAl
promptitude in this case. clearly enough,
Is due to the recent general banking
crisis and the intense concentration Of
public interest upon bank Affairs. Such
official responsiveness, 50 long - It
seeks only to disclose the truth, - to
be welcomed.
One useful inference can be drawn
from this episode. Bank ofacers are
now, and are likely to remain for some
time to come, under an extraordinarily
sharp scrutiny, oficiAl and non-omcial,
concerning the exact propriety Of their
conduct as trustees of other peoples
money. That will be the logical con-
sequence of events both recent and
not SO recent. 1t is state Of affairs
to which bankers will have to reconcile
themselves, but it is only fair to add
that the majority Of bankers have always
recognized the special requirement Of
their calling and have conScienti0u8ly
tried to live up to them.
Wherever allegations are made to the
contrary, or even the finger of suspicion
Is raised, the law officers concerned are
now under an even greater obligation
than ordinarily to search the matter to
the bottom without delay. No banker.
least Of all one unjustly the victim Of
gossip. can dissent from that precept.
Prompt and vigorous testing Of .
bankers legal responsibilities is Away .
public necessity.

United States on the Advisory Com
mittee of the League in the Leticia
controversy between Peru and Colombia.
Earlier in the month Mr.. Wilson was
instructed to cooperate with the
Leagues other Advisory Committee in
the Far Eastern conflict between China
and Japan.
Our participation in the Peruvian
Colombian imbroglio Is announced
in acceptance Of an invitation from
the secretary general Of the League. Sir
Eric Drummond. The United States Is
happy to cooperate with the Advisory
Committee in such manner as may be
found appropriate and feasible" As
In the case Of the Far East, Minister
Wilson will not have the right, under
the State Departments instructions, to
vote, while the United States will ex-
ercise independence of judgment In re-
gard to proposals and decisions. But,
believing that participation by a repre-
sentative Of this Government would be
helpful" Secretary Hull has given Mr..
Wilson the necessary latitude.
In the year which marks the one
hundred and tenth anniversary Of the
Monroe Doctrine, this exhibition of the
United States willingness to join. q
group. Overwhelmingly made up of
states outside the Western Hemisphere,
in adjudication Of q purely American
controversy. is an interesting develop
ment. 1t does not denote any slacken-
