'To the Editor of the 'Nowril-Ciuna Dat News'
Sim—I_ have carried an account with a Chinese Bonk for a number Jor years and still continue to do so. JO day or two ago T had occasion to pay some money into a foreign bank. in exchange for my cheque on themselves the Chinese Bank gave me their own "Cashier's Order" which is in what is to-day called "ual Tender" rather than' "Cash."
The Cashier's Order was paid into leading foreign bank who stamped their receipt "Received for collection without responsibility." At the same were paid in on another slip cheques from Mr. Whoosit and Mr. Thingummy drawn on foreign banks, these were received without any Under the existing conditions when the whole Settlement is a veritable bedlam, the efficiency and precision with which evacuations are handled merit the highest commendation.
The ce-operation in expediting the despatch of baggages and personal belongings 1s greatly appreciated.
The evacuees could find no word to express their gratitude for the timely assistance rendered.
F. L. Bavnsta, For The Filipino Evacuees.
No Bank ever accepts any responsibility about the collection of any cheque at any time; why should this foreign bank at this time of crisis take this opportunity of insulting the "Casher's Order" of an important [Chinese Bank?
There used to be a proverb about the Heathen Chinese. If there ever was Jany truth in it, it seems evident that the mantle of this person has fallen jon others who carry it off very well.
