Secretary Weeks

Washington. Nov. 10.-Secretary
Weeks has informed Gustavus Kirby,
of New York, president of the Ameri-
can-Olympic committee, that the War
and Navy departments are disincln-
ed to affiliate with the movement for
organization of AN American Olympic
Association as planned by the COM
mittee, but viii cordially support a
project for nation wide federation
Of all amateur sports and physical
education organizations. Amendments
to the constitution of the proposed
American-Olympic association, de-
signed to expand the scope of the pro-
ject in line with army and navy
thought, were transmitted by Secre-
tary Weeks. The Olympic committee
will meet in New York November 25

ing to sharper control of American
participation in the quadrennial
Olympic games.
Army and Navy representatives
were asked to participate and Secre-
tary Weeks's letter to Mr.. Kirby said
that in view of the urgent need" he
felt for an amateur sport federation
such as suggested, 81 must instruct
my representatives at the coming
meeting to refrain from committing
the army to. join any organization
whose scope is not wider than the one
outlined in you proposed constitu-
ton
The army plan contemplates a nat
ional federation, with regional, state
and local organizations with juris-
diction over amateur contests within
their scope in each case and in which
all organizations for sport, physical
educational or mass play would be
welcome.

YOUR FIRST WHITE ANCESTOR

a UTAH court rules that the black-skiinned Hindu
g \ belongs 10 the white race, Science backs the
ruling.
The case may make you wonder If your ancestors
came from India and whether they looked like the
fellow you see in the movies who ayenges the theft Of
the sacred jewel from the eye Of the idol in the Bonn
Won temple.
Ehnologists who trace The origin of peoples, are
not certain about the exact, location of the cradle Of
the white race.
Their latest theory is that your first white ances-
tors inhabited Africa. north Of the Sudan, whence they
migrated through Egypt into southern Russia and
India.
One of their first sea voyages was to Japan, tie
scientists say. The japanese originally were Atysr !
white people, not Monaghan. Their saffron complex
ion is the result Of eross-breeding their white ancestors
(shll found in the pure white state in the island Of
Yezo) with coffee-colored conquerors from the Malay
Archipelago and China.
Interesting study-the origin Of races-why one
man is white and another black, yellow. red or brown.
We might know more about the prehistoric peoples
and our own origin. had it not been for The burning
OF ancient Libraries by conquering soldiers whose first
act Of vandalism was to destroy the records Of the
people they had subdued.
A particularly %atroeious case was the burning Of
the Han-Ln College at Pekin by The allied soldiers
during the Boxer uprising. With this college persisted

either Mr.. Harding's immediate
predecessors. II by any chance It
had occurred, 1t would have &C.

meetings of the rich to prepare
new ways for exploiting the poor.
Even now, we suppose, Senator
La Toilette and possibly Hiram
johnson may display to the public
their pain and fears Of the worst,
because OF the Presidents consort-
ing with great financiers, but these
old political tricks have today
worn so thin that few can be found
to attempt them-and those few
will be laughed at. The general
verdict will be that Mr.. Harding
has shown good sense in frankly
and without concealment seeking
information from those who have
1t best at command.
The revival Of our export trade
is said to have been the chief topic
at The White House conference.
It's urgency Is everywhere admit
ted. The farmers will understand
now that 1t is mainly the falling
off in foreign demand for American ,
agricultural products which has
forced down farm prices and
blockaded sales. Depressed indus.
tries, like the manufacture Of
steel, are looking abroad for the
markets which alone can insure
steady and full operation. Why
should not the President turn to-
the men whose business keeps
their hands upon the complicated
transactions involved in maintain

vice from them Is worth ten times
