The truth is that most bank
ers have failed to adjust their
functioning to meet changed
conditions. They have too long
clung to tradition, to old
established practices, practices
which became less and less
capable of fitting into latter
day business needs.
Exceptions there have been.
A. P. Giannini has been the
most shining example. Even
before the advent of the New
Deal he pioneered daringly,

for any nation which signed it to engage in
armed conflict under the heading of SELFDE-
FENsE, TO BE INTERPRETED AS TT ALONE
SEES FIT, with NO RIGHT of any THIRD Ma
TON TO PASS JUDGMENT on its actions in
such interpretations.
Neutrals Considered
IMPORTANT also is the fact that Japan probably
feels she can achieve her purpose without invok-
ing belligerent rights against neutrals. She is
now active around Canton, which activities may
still further cut the munitions flow from Hong
kong Japan may even move farther south and
embarrass shipments via French 1ndo- China.
But, as Japan's objectiveS seem principally to
be North China and as shipments in that area
have been clipped to almost a state Of inSig-
nificance, the present shipments via Hongkong
and French IndoChina may not have handt
capped her enough to warrant risking costly rows
with neutrals by declaration of war.
But Japan'S objectives. What are they? Stu
dents of 30 and 40 years experience of the
Orient believe Japan'S objectives do not call for

Vote Suit
Filed

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 90.
Charging that nearly 1000 quail.
flied voters were not allowed to
vote in the special referendum
held here June IA, a group of
Alexandrians yesterday filed suit
conteSting the election.
The referendum was held to de-
eide whether the people wanted
to change the city charter so as
to make the city attorney and city
collector elective officers rather
than appointive ones. Those advo-
eating the change won out by
approximately 500 votes.
SPECIAL ELECTION
The suit filed yesterday declared
that persons qualified to vote in
the November election were not
permitted to vote in the special
election and that this violated the
law which sets forth that those
qualified for the November cleo
ton are privileged to participate
in such special called elections.
Those named as defendants in
the suit which was filed by Attor-
Iney J. Randall Cation are the city
treasurer, the clerk of the corpora
ton court. the city sergeant, the
city of Alexandria and the six
judges who presided at the elec-
ton.
NO DATE SET
The special referendum was
held following legislation enacted
at the last session of the state gen.
eral assembly in which such an
election was authorized.
No date for hearing of the suit
has yet been set by Judge William
P. Woolls, who will have the mat
ter in his hands. Judge Woolls'
decision, it was pointed out, will
be final,

refusal to so admit puts her in
an excellent position in so far
as the Kellogg Pact is con-

has a complete legal case

nomic relationships.
"Puppets" Possible
DUPPET GOVERNMENTS, perhaps but most
nations have used this first cousin to an
nexation. It has been only in the last few years
that the United States ceased virtually picking
the governments of Central America, Cuba, and
Mexico.
Woodrow Wilson repeatedly stressed that we
we're not fighting the German people in 1917,
but the German government which miSrepre
sented the German people. He stressed the same
in 1914 in the war war with Mexico.
Japan has possibly learned that in the long it
does not pay to annex completely an alien race;
and so does not declare an official war which
might defeat her purpose.
"UnOffici0W War
THIRD NATIONS, including the United States
have not recognized the oriental conflict as
war. Why? First such recognition coming from
an outside party is slightly absurd when the
victim herself, China, does not make any such
recognition and is anxious not to have it recog-
niZed as war.
Recognition Of war by a neutral would damage
not only the neutral but also China. Neutral
shipping would be promptly interfered with and
war risked by the third party.
The most practical help the world, including
the United States, can give to China is to abide
by her decision not to recognize the situation as
"war." UNLESS the rest of the world is ready to
go to the armed help of China. Obviously, other
nations are not at the present time.

Miss Aryness Joy, assistant to

take time for bankers to get out
