ANNUAL CONVENTION PENNSYLVANIA BANKERS ASSO- ' OIATION MEET. AT HOTEL CAPE MAY IN ANNUAL SESSION THIS WEEK. The Pennsylvania Bankers' Association of Pennsylvania, was called to order at 050 a. m., by the president of the Association, Mr. L. T. McFaddeRj" of Canton, Pa. After prayer by Rev. McCurdv, of the Baptist Church, Judge H. H. Eldredge, president judge of Cape May County, was introduced. The judge's address was very, interesting to the assembled bankers and their friends and was well received. The judge welcomed the Association most cordially and explained the merits and advantages of Cape -May City. After the usual course of business the reports of committees were given by the • various committee chairmen. The address of the morning was delivered by the Hon. Cbas. F. Moore, of New York City. The following officers were elected: Member of Executive Committee, A. 8. Beymer, of Pittsburg, Vice-President of the A. B. A. for Peensylvania, H. G. Siegfred, of Easton, L T. McFadden, Canton, Pa., and H. W. Stubber, Altoona, member of nominating committee. The afternoon session was called to order by President McFadden, and Dr. Robert S. Fitch, of Hankow, Qiina, was - introduced, who spoke for half an hour very interestingly on the Chinese questions of the day. Mr. Fitch said in part: "I bring to you the unofficial greetings of the youngest republic in the world to the oldest and most highlydeveloped republic of the world. 1 say t unofficial, because I bear no official rela- ; tion to the Chinese Republic, and am on bo official mission, however, I was bom on Chinese toil In a Chinese home, under the protection of the Stars and Stripes. I want to impress upon this audience, which represents the financial interests of this gTeat nation the intimate relation betweeB this country and China." -wDr* Fitch then entered into a brief * description of the patience and selfcontrol of the Chinaman, and said that Control 01 toe vuiaamaii, sou miu bu». i.

the Chinese would rather lose a debate than lose his self-control and thereby ' win the debate. This, in part, explains the conduct of China towards Japan. i ' The speaker lauded the attitude of the present administration towards the ' European conflict, and cautioned patienoe and forbearance in settling international disputes in the diplomatic relations of nations. He said, 'T want to sp^ak briefly of five things in tbe relation between China and the U.nited State*. First China is intensely friend - | ly to the United States. This is due to / three things; 1st, the open door policy 1 of this country, inaugurated by the late Secretary of State John Hay; 2nd, the relinquishment by the C. S. of the Boxer indemnity and third the prompt ' recognition by the U. 8. of the independence of the Chinese Republic. The second bond of friendship between . these two nations is the Mission Schools. These schools are working a , world of good. The young chinamen educated there, complete their education in American Universities, and then return to China to help establish American ideas and inititut:ons in theij own country. One of the factors influencing China is the growing suspicion of Japan. The speaker denied having any prejudice against Japan, and said that Japan's moral attitude was perhaps ' no worse than that of most European countries. He said that Japan never has respected the open door, and that it had never been her intention to do so. Japan acted contrary to promises in regard to bith Korea and Manchuria. The open door with respect to Manchuria is a dead letter. _ The more immediate problems, and those which art tending to influence China, detrimentally, are the following: Decadent Buddhism, the national reLook At This Sale$12 Mattings at $8.50 a rolL $8.00 Matting at $4.05 a roll. 0x12 Rugs for $200. 6x0 Rugs for $1.00.

ligion, commercialism and the influence of such writers as Darwin, Huxley and I Spencer. The Chinese interpret these authors, ptheistically. - Many of the Chinese make the wrong . use of freedom, and they need the ; steadying Influence of American educa- ; tion to show them that liberty doM not meau license. After llr. Fitch's address, the con- . vention listened to a very interesting , debate on the subject, "Resolved, that f it would be a public benefit if National Banking Associations were permitted to act in a financial capacity." . President McFadden appointed as , judges Messrs. Montgamery Evans, H. Ztb. Russell and D. E. Shields. The , question was debated affirmatively by , W. W. Allen and P. B. Detwiler, and negatively by John A. Price and Albert j T. Eylcr. B The affirmative speakers are members of the Philadelphia Chapter A. L B., e and the negative speakers are of the e Pittsburg A. I. B. The negative side won, and was r warded a silver cup. c Tonight at 750 tlie annual banquet will be held in the ball room.
