Bank Denies II Owes u. 5.
For S18, ,060 in Bad Checks

The National Metropolitan Bank
filed an answer in District Court
yesterday denying that 1t owed the
Federal Government $4,000 which
it paid to James H Foley, clerk
in the Marine Corps paymaster's
Office, on Government checks he
forged.
Shortly after the fraud was un-
covered in November. 1898, Foley
went to New York City and killed
himself. A total of 144 forged
checks, made out as covering travel
ing expenses of officers, were traced
to Foley.
The bank in its answer charged
the administrative section of the
Marine Corps with neglect of duty
in falling to make monthly audit
OF Foley's accounts. Such an ac-
counting would have unearthed the
fraud within short time, the bank
said, asserting that the United
States owes to the public, and
especially to the banking public, the
duty of preventing the issuance of
any luegitimate checks"
The bank asked the court to leave
the loss where chance has placed
it," since the bank and the Govern
ment dealt with noe another under
a mistake"

D The War Comes Closer

A year or so ago when Harold lckes, sec
rotary of the interior. was suggesting that
the United States might soon have 10 go on
a gasoline and oil ration rs a defense
measure. great many persons referred to
him as a political blatherskite bidding for
public attention.
There also appeared the oracles who
claimed to have inside information on the
gas and oil situation. They declared that
the United States had sufficient oil re-
sources to supply the world if every other
source should be cut off.
Ickes was Just an old grandmother telling
a DOGGY man story to brighten bad children
that is. children who in the opinion of the
secretary of the interior were bad.
Well, it's just another case of waking up
some morning to find that something we
said couldn't happen has happened. Next
Thursday most of the United States goes
on a gasoline ration. On that date delv-
cries to service stations on the Atlantic
coast and in the Pacific Northwest will be
cut 90 per cent.
From the standpoint of the private car
owner that is worse than IL sounds. The
rationing order provides that out of the
eighty per cent of normal supply, service
stations shall first meet the minimum neces-
sary requirements of essential users. IN
cluded IN this classlilcatlon are government
vehicles. physicians and nurses cars, taxi
cabs, school busses and agricultural machln-
cry. Though not specifically mentioned, 1t is
probable that transportation companies
serving necessary purpose will be included
among the essential users.
This means that the private car owner
will be restricted to far greater extent
than twenty per cent of his normal gasoline
consumption. His cut will be more like
thirty or fifty per cent. depending on the
requirements of the essential users.
Thus we find our illusions being dispeled
and the war coming closer to us every day.
The tragic report of thirteen United Nations
war ships destroyed in the battle of Java is
ominous. The present lull on the Pacific is
disturbing.
Specifically, we of the Northwest had
better begin putting our house in order, for

killed BY automobiles. and in the majority
OF instances speed was responsible
Some of the killings were at designated
crossing lanes where the pedestrian was
within his legal rights but the driver was
in hurry and couldn't be bothered to slow
down. Even Sunday morning pleasure
drivers on Sixth avenue, paying no attention
to the caution light at the K street inter-
section. menaced the lives of pedestrians
going to church.
Some facetious reader may remark that
this was only the ordinary hazard of going
to church. But to certain woman and her
young daughter who narrowly escaped being
run over at the K street crossing there isn't
anything funny about IT,
Even though the presidents order was
inspired by the necessity of saving rubber
tires for defense, the pedestrian will get a
better break, for speed gets en-" Less
speed also will conserve valuable motor
equipment. That will be worthwhile, too,
even if it does reduce the quantity of
scrap" which also is said to be defense
essential.

Late news from the national capital in
cludes announcement that President Roose
welt has written governors of the forty
eight states proposing maximum motor ve
hicle speed limit of forty miles an hour.
The purpose, the letter says. is to conserve
tires. The president might also have given
another and more important reason-to
save human life. Or is a rubber tire of
more value than life?
We do not have to recall the shocking
totals of last years automobile killings in
the United States. It's bad enough to look
at the record for the first two and a half
months in Pierce county. Since the first of
January twenty-five persons have been

. A Prophet Is Honored

Often the stone which the builders cast
aside becomes the head of the corner. Sir
Stafford Grips was member of the Brit
ish bar but an undistinguished looking sort.
Though there was something in his appear
ance that reminded of Woodrow Wilson. he
looked like nothing so much as an assistant
cashier who never expected to be cashier,
or an assistant professor in a second rate
college.
As a politician he was a msfit. but he
had good enough mind to enable him to
earn about a 100000 a year as lawyer.
Four years ago he advocated an alliance be-
tween Democratic England and Commu-
nistic Russia as a natural set-up to stop the
aggressions of Hitler.
For that idea he was denounced as
left winger but today he is fitting neatly
into the plans of fighting-mad Britain, the
Britain that is demanding an end to the
long series of Dunkirks, the Britain that is
demanding positive offensive action to help
the Russia that Grips has been so right
about.
Sir Stafford's one-time detractors are
jumping onto the band wagon with him.
Many Britons-high and low-beieve he
may replace the colorful Churchill.
He has caught the imagination of the
British people. In his first speech as war
cabinet member he said that all extrava-
gances - including popular amusements -
would have to go, and specifically naming
such popular sports as horse racing and
boxing. Other British leaders had put the
soft pedal on that sort of talk for fear of
the repercussions but the British people
applauded Sir Stafford and said, Lets &c"
It's case of an honest man sticking to
his convictions in spite of every opposition,
including popular opinion.

RECALLS ALIEN PROPERTY
SCANDALS OF 1917

Editor, The Times - Your re-
cent editorial on evacuation Of
the japanese. foreign and Ameri-
can born. is not consistent with
the American ideals. nor the
ideals supported by The Times.
Do not be deceived by a move
ment to seize the business built
up by these people through in
dustry. honesty and general
good character. The seizure of
enemy alien property IN 1917
still stinks. This evacuation
order, In my opinion, smscks of
Hitler's edict against the Jews
and can also be used against
Americans OF German. Finnish
and Italian birth.
