Consequently, in order for a fed eral reserve bank to render financial assistance to those engaged in ag riculture or me raising 01 nve siock, it is necessary . that the leans first be negotiated with member banks. ' Neither these federal reserve banks , V nor the federal reserve board has a any control over the loan policy ol i any member bank.

Must Fight Japan With Words Now or -Bullets Later. By PHILIP KINSLEY. Chlraco Tnlmne Cable, Coprrliiit, Canton, Sept. 18. America must either fight Japan with words now or bullets later, according to Dr. Sun lat Sen, president of the Southern Republic of China, who received a Tribune correspondent in his home at government house. Canton. He thinks that the Washington confer ence, in which he has not been in vited to take part, is likely to lead to war instead of peace. Dr. Sun wrote a long and frank letter to President Harding last May and he thinks that the suggestion in his letter might have had something to do with the calling of the con ference, but Mr. Harding did rot an swer it and the Sun government re mains unrecognized. He had hoped that the Wood-Forbes mission would stop at Canton, but they, too, ig nored him. A few members went up tc Can ton from Hongkong, but they made an unofficial trip and did not see Dr. Sun. Little Hope of Results. The president of the southern gov ernment is a simple and unassuming man, democratic in his tastes and not surrounded byjpotnp .or. show. He wears- a plain grey" suit,: unadorned by decorations and speaks excellent English. A V ; "I want American to realize what the situation in China is,'' he said earnestly. "The way things look at present I have very little hope for the results of the disarmament con ference."!,! . "You mean for China?" I asked. "Yes, and for America, too," was his reply. . "My idea is that it will lead to war," said a third member of the party, an American who has long been a resident of the Orient. Dr. Sun nodded his head in assent and speaking with conviction, said: . "There is one way for America to avoid a war and that is to fight now with words. If American does not take a strong hand now and, help China keep off Japan, it will have to go to war later. My government is really at war with Japan now. Want Open Door. "We in South China are fighting now for the American open door policy. You do not see thatYou must help us soon, however, or it may be too late. Maybe this gov ernment can not stand much longer alone against the Japanese pressure and propaganda." " ' Dr. Sun thinks that he alone can unify China. While his fate is in the balance he is going ahead making a model government here. His son, Fo Sun, is mayor of the city of Can ton,, which is making amazing progress. There is real vitality here and one finds the spirit of a western boom town. The old narrow streets of the walled city are being- swept away by a clean broom. The walls are being torn down to make room and material for wide roads and new buildings are being erected every where. , Secretary of State Hughes has been informed that the open door, in fact and in practice, is almost a dead letter in the province by reason of the position of Hongkong, and the restrictions and concessions taken from the previous governments. Spe cial favors are shown to the Ameri cans, due to the admission to official positions.'' of a large body of young Chinese educated in America. .

To Join Internationale Chimin Trlbuuc-Omana He I-eaaei! Wire. New York, Sept. 18. Pledging themselves "to aid in the effort to establish a socialist soviet republic in the United States," with "uncon ditional afliliation with the third In ternationale" a group of highly placed officials have resigned from the socialist party, it was learned yesterday. "The committee for the third in ternationale." as the seceding social ists styled themselves, no longer see why they should remain within the socialist party and their withdrawal, they predict, means its early col lapse, having already declined from a party of 118,000 to less than 5,000. Hie committee, in an article en titled "Farewell to the Socialist Partyl An Appeal to its Remaining Members." published in its official organ, J he Workers Council, calls upon all the true socialists to leave it in order to organize and pre pare for a conference to be called, probably in November, "where defi tiite plans will be worked out and the foundation laid for an American section of the third internationalc." To Choose New Name. The name of the new communist party about to be formed will be chosen at the conference and in the meantime the movement will be known as "the workers council of the United States of America." Among those who signed the withdrawal statement from the so cialist party are the following: J. Louis Engdahl of Chicago, for five years editor of the official so cialist publication, The American Socialist; Alexander Trachtenberg, long identified with the Rand school; Moissayre Jolgin, well-known writer on Russia, author of "The Soul of the Russian Revolution," and other works; Benjamin Glassberg, for many years active in the work of the Rand school; Rese Weiss, law yer of New York, associated with Charles Rccht of counsel for the soviet government; H. L. Flanagan, a prominent southern socialist; Stev en Bircher. organizer of the Amal gamated Metal Workers; George Wishnack, former manager of the joint board of the cloak makers' un ion; Paul P. Glazer of Indiana, coun sel . for the steel crickers; C. W. Carkendall,- West Virginia; Charles. Kolarik,-' Bohemian1, socialist federa tion; M. Bailin, Jewish socialist fed eration; Morris Backall, M. Baum stein, Louis T. Herzon, Ralph Hen derson, Henry E. Wickwire, Hyman Schneid and Alexander Carlin. Left Wing Members. The signers of the statement were the minority or left' wing delegates to the last national convention of the party in Detroit and the 1920 con vention in New York. The work of organization is in the hands of Mr. Engdahl, secretary. "The movement is without any im portance." declared Morris Hillquit, leader ot the conservative or right wing of the . socialist party in the United States, in commenting on the appeal. - "It will not affect the so cialist party in any way. The so called committee for the third inter nationale consists of a rather sraall group in. the socialist party who, as a matter of fact, are not really so cialists, but communists. "Their effort was to win over a large 'part of the socialists of this country to their views. In that they utterly failed. They now withdraw as they should have done some time ago and their effort to remodel the socialist party in the United States is doomed to failure. The vast ma jority of the socialists in the United States stand with ,thc- socialist party and with the socialist movement of the world as distinct-from the com munist movement." .'"( ' Woman Implicated in, Murder ot dalesmen Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

He pictured himself gazing into her frigid, un friendly eyes and saying: "By the way, Mrs. I.annard, had you heard that my uncle has Juxt left me $15,000,000?" He wondered what else she would do beside fall off her chair. It was certainly an Impressive sum. Reduced to terms within his comprehension, it wns equiva lent to 300,000 weeks' pay at his present salary. Much could be done with that amount of money, much good or much bad.
