Editorial

The Colonial Council met informally yes
terday to consider new real property
tax bill. The same bill is being studied by
the st. Thomas Council In order to Sc
cure uniformity of taxation on real proper
ty in the Virgin Islands the two councils
will have Joint meeting in ST. Thomas on
Thursday. If an agreement can be reached
on the tax question the st. Thomas Council
and the St.Croix Council will pass the same
bill, but not In Joint session.
Under the new system, which the United
States Congress makes mandatory, taxes
on real property will be assessed at a fixed
rate to be charged on the assessed value of
the property.
Congress lays emphasis on the equaliza
ton of taxation on land regardless of how
it isused Land of equal fertility must be
assessed the same regardless of whether
such lands be used for raising sugar cane or
other crops, or whether used for pasture
Or kept in an idle condition.
The ul innate result of this change in the
system of taxation will be a reduction Of
the tax on cane land.
The owner of cane land may not eventu
ally derive any benefit from this reduction
since his dwelling and other buildings on
which no tax is now paid will be assessed
and taxed.
Though we may have tie pay higher taxes
there is one consolation. the more we con
tribute to the cost operating our govern
ment the more control we shallhave over
our municipal affairs.

LEAGUE PROBABLY PREVENTED WAR

Critics of the League of Nations Ill thlS
Hitler smashed the restrictive clauses of
the LOcarno agreement and re-armed the
Rhineland
What happened shows very plainly
the difference between 1914 and today.
Instead of brisk notes from France to Ger
many, with ultimatumS and notifications
as the routine development, the French
government took the matter up with sig
natory powers, there was an airing of
views, period of delay and the postpone
ment of vital measures.
We do not say that war has been
avoided in Europe. We merely point out.
that under League genesis, there existed
among European powers, a machinery that
afforded the opportunity to seek settle
ment by other than warlike means, and
that prior to the Leagues existence, no
such avenue of escape from the imponder-
ables of nationalistic diplomacy existed.
The League, it appears, will have to
get along without participation by this
country in its affairs, but if it does nothing
but aid in the development of peace in
Europe, its contribution to the welfare of
the world will be sufficient to give it a
high place among the recent achievements
of nations

NEW BUSINESS FOR BANKS

Bankers of the nation are beginning
to take notice of the business done by coiii-
netitive financial agencies and the lnolca
lion is that they will soon take steps 10
hroodan their ideas and handle consider
able consumer credits.
E. S. Woosley, vice president OF Che
First National Bank of LOUISVILLE n.y.
cites the experience of his own bank IN
dustrial loan department, which py
changing the style to meet buyer demand
has had great success, trebling met. re
turns" which is enough to interest any
banker.
He calls attention to automobile IL
nancing, used car deals, housing loans an"
personal loans exceeding an estimated
sc 500 900 600, as a field for banks to
CAPTURE. This would include lhStaiine"'
finaLcing, which, within certain linlltS'
"comports with sound commercial BANK
! ing"
Along this lire, let us point out that
| hanks in relatively small communities can
mako nrofits for themselves and, at the
same time, greatly facilitate the develop
ment of local trade. by making available
TO citizens reasonable loans for the puf-
chase of commodities from local stores
with provision for payments at regular
period>. This would enable many Siiai
towns TO withstand the competition o.
larger trading areas, where the buyer 1lhd
everything done to assist him in purchaS
ing.
| That new type of banking is rapid!
; coming into being in the United States
; evident from the remarks made by eml
ncnt bankers. Harvey c. Couch, OF Al
kansas. wants new type, aggreSsiV
Il banker, to meet new conditions and tax
: advantage of new opportunities.
Like in every other business, success
ful bankers are realizing that they mu
{ take permissible risks, and have the pan
come to the investor instead of the lnves''
finding the bank.

TREATIES, NAVAL AND OTHERWISE

The naval treaty, signed at London,
at least keeps alive the fiction of reduced
armament, although giving each nation
the practical right to relieve itself of all
obligations in the event that the situation
materially changes
Because of this the treaty has been de-
rlded. However, it seems to us that such
a provision is proper. No nation is going
to remain everlastingly faithful to treaty,
which, it feels, is unfair. Whenever the
proper time arrives, the past will be
thrown overheard.
Recognizing that treaties are valuable
only so long as they serve the interests of
the contracting parties, it might be we'll
for all treaties, in future to include provi-
slons permitting signatory powers, upon
giving specified notice, to terminate the
obligations accepted. This is what hap
pened to the old naval pact and Japan was
entirely within her rights in ending it by
giving such notice
