Commenting on the incident Nel- son said: "It's just one of those things you can't explain. We just can't figure out what happened."

Captain Edward Bessey of Weathersfieid. Conn, 19 years a pilot. said his plans left Rome with enough fuel reserved to fly three hours beyond Shannon.

Bcssey ssld the persons who died were those "who failed to carry out instructions. some jumped into. the water and these were the people who were lost."

Ho said ‘ha must have gone I50 miles‘ out over tho Atlantic, "all tho time seeking radio co-operation" before he made contact with several planes and Shannon which began guiding him back in.

Mr. Stew- art, warned the crowd that al- though it has been said that "money makes ths mars go” it» is also possible that ths mare can make the money go.

Aftor ths official opening the platform party settled down to an evening's enjoyment of horse rac- ing and vaudeville acts.

Referring to the swine exhibits, Mr. ILW. Olay, Senior livestock Fieldman with the Dominion Dc- parunem of Agriculture stated "it was possible that because of the iargs numbers of iirsbclau breed- ing swine which have rsosntiy been exported from the Provinco. entries this year may be less."

Bruialiiy Stories Told Ai Tokyo Rose Tre_ason Trial

_ SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 15._ (APl-Stories of Japanese brutal- ity to Allied war prisoners were told today at the Tokyo Rose treason trial to bulwark ndefence claim that she broadcast through fear.

The first defence witness, Char. lea I-I. Cousens. major in the war- time Australian army, choked with iglgs as he recounted tales of hor-

Capiured in Singapore, Cousgng eventually became one of tho best-known broadcasters on Radio Tflkyo. It was over this station that Mrs. Iva Toguri D'Aquino, 33. and Los Angelcs-born, broad- cast the prisoner-of-war "Zero 3km" Program. The Government says that in so doing she com. mitted treason. .

The defence contends she was loyal i0 ths United States; that she and prisoners-nf-wsr conspir- ed to outwit the Japanese in ihs broadcasts.

Former Island Banker Addresses Rotary Club

Mr. Ernest l. Macdonaid, ex- ecuiive vice yrssldsnt, Bank of Manhattan Company, New York, was guest ‘speaker yesterday at ROI!!! luncheon, at which brief remarks were also made by Pra- mier Smsllwood of Newfoundland.

In introducing the former, Ro- tarian Roy Cudmore said Mr. Macdonald was horn in Charlotte- town the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Macdonsid. Ho was ad- ucaied at Queen's Square School. St. Dunstan’s University and Prince of Wales College. Entering the Bunk of Nova Scotis in 1905 he spent a number of years bank- ifi! in various parts of Canada and the United States where he Joined the Bank of Long Island. Shortly after this bank was merg- ed with the Bank of Manhattan.

and for the past 23 years Mr. Macdonald has held his present position.

In addition he is a director of ths Bank of Manhattan Safe De- posit Co. as well as s director in several other well known New York enterprises. During the war years as chairman of the Queen's County, Ststs of New York War Finance Committee, he was re- sponsibla for the sale to the pub- lic of over lone billion dollars in Government securities. I-Ie has also been treasurer for the past 24 years of ths Chamber of Com- merce of the Borough of Queen's, is active in Boy Scout work, Children's Welfare, and during his periods of relaxation enjoys golf, baseball, and group singing.

Mr. Macdonald said American banking differed from the Cana- dian system chiefly in that the banks were stats banks and not national in character like the Can- adian. Banking had started with the development of a means of exchange which in some cases wps the Indian Wampum, or as another’ community used with some success, nutmsgs. These were an acceptable currency until some joker got ths idea of making them of wood with consequent disaster to the currency.

Traces Bank Origins

Banks as we know them today in ths States, said Mr. Mscdonald were started as banks of issue. That is the banker printed paper notes which were readily accept- ed in the community. They were as good as the banker which is- sued them and there was little regulation of their operations. This speculative banking was checked by an sot which forbade the formation'of banking com- panies Without a special charter. Serious banking may be said to have begun with the foundation of the Bank of Pennsylvania, which first issued currency in 1780. It was followed in 1784 by the Bank of New York which al- though not the largest, is today ranked as one of the leading fin- ancial establishments.

The first bank of ths United States was an attempt at a na- tional banking system, but the American people were distrustful of the centralizing of power and there was a grsst deal of trouble raised, and charges laid concern- ing ths bank, especially with re- gard to foreign ownership. When its charter cams up for renewal in 1811 it was refused.

During the rebellion or revolu- tion of 1812 the government had to rely on the stats banks, which were unable to transfer funds from one part of the union to an- other. These difficulties were not overcome until the 2nd Bank of U810 United States was formed in 1 16. - ~

Entrenohed Interest

The Bank of Manhattan had a great‘ deal of difficulty getting its charter due to ths entrenched in- forest of the New York State Bank, The political fight between the Federalist: in control of the Bank and the Republicans with- out a bank turned the fight into efforts to establish another bunk. For a long time the Federalism blocked every attempt at obtain- ing a charter. Then one of i116 Republicans hsd a brainwave. A group was formed to relieve what was a very bad situation,

Downtown New York hsd l very bad water supply. so much so that during the summer months everyone who could move away from the area did so. This company sought a charter to pipe pure water to ths district and one of the small clauses authorizing the company to raise and iillie notes was the "joker inserted by the Republicans and overlooked by the Fedsralists. It enabled the company to start operations as a at... bank with a capital o! 000.000 and it opened its offices in Wsll Street in the lama location as its present head office.

Th; directors of the National Banks sra suPPOIM i° b!

Another develop- ment in U. B. banking was the de- cision to insure all deposits up to $5,000. This is dons by the stats banks paying the Government one twelfth of one percent on their deposits,

Mr. Macdonsld said there were different opinions with regard to the efficiency of ths American and Canadian systsms I-h thought that the American system was bat- ter for ths community as its ds- veiopmant was tiad to the ds- vslopment of ths community in which it was established. i-ls wondered what a Canadian man- ager would do if bs had to put up with the examiners that consatnt- 1y check and recheck every phase of the stats bank's operations. Ws are also permitted to deal in real estate and we have free collec- tion on the transfer of funds. Ali in all, he ssld the public has much confidence in ths banking system which he has more or lass gain lly followed for ths ast L5 y ars. Shareholders in ths

Premier Smsliwood

Hon. Joseph Smsllvvocd, Premier of Newfoundland, expressed his pleasure at being once again in Prince Edward Island. Ho said that his grandfather had told him many stories of his binth- place in Lot 48. Ono thingnbout this Province was the longevity of its people. His grandfather had lived to be 90, his father to 100, an aunt to 108, and another aunt had continued so long that she had simply dried up and blown away. This history of his ances- try must be very discouraging to certain psopls in Newfoundland, he added, A Newfoundlander also here at Rotary, Mr. Wyatt, now 78 years, had driven his car 14.000 miles to California and back, two years ago.

Premier Smallwood said he had spent s month here some years ago in connection with a motion picture of the Province. "This oc- casion stands cut ss one of the most delightful experiences of my life." he said. "Of course when I speak to your Premier, Mr. Jones, I don't say these things for I never let on that P. E. I. has one point of superiority over our new Province. However I must tell you that in the eyes of one accustomed to the rugged splen- dour of Newfoundland, your green fields and trees are a most beauti- ful sight. I must warn you that the tourists who now come to P. E. I. will soon be visiting New- foundland instead, and also many

of you will be coming to spend your vacation with us." Numerous Guests
