Such was tbe view expressed her Thursday night by Frederick ecutive secretary of the I . ... tha PT-,Tn- National Counell for the Preven tion of War. who spoke to a large audience at the First Methodist ehurch. Libby held the acceptance of the Lytton report by the League of Nations a memorable, history making event, and clearly showed that Japan violated the league covenant, ths nine-power pact and tbo Pact of Paris in her actions in the east.

Queried last night, local bank ers stated they could not commit themselves on the status of either city or school district warrants until the state warrant situation had been clarified. It was explain ed, however, that solution of the state problem probably would lead to acceptance of the city's war rants. Since the first of the year, the city government has issued war rants, marked "not paid for want of funds" and bearing six per cent Interest, to a sum between 3150,- 000 and 1160,000, according to the city treasurer. Far the past year the city has issued warrants off and on, xpaylng them as tax turnovers were received. From May 5 tax payments, the city will have about $170,000 due it, the treasurer said. Mr. Rice wasstill uncertain as to whether or not he would have sufficient cash on hand to pay the final $24,000 Installment and 600 interest on an issue of sewer and improvement bonds, due to morrow. Large payments on Ban croft bonds also will fall due in the next several months. Alderman O'Hara said the bankers were becoming apprehen sive in view of tax collection shrinkage and might turn down city warrants within a few days. He declared needless equipment was being purchased by the city. when it was without cash, and mentioned specifically the $300 police radio appropriation, and ex penses for police patrol can... If city warrants should be turn ed down by the banks, loans prob- ably would be granted to a por- Hon of the face value, quite likely ai ci gin per cen i luierwi. I FEHl 111 WANTS E MEDFORD.. Ore..
