western football critics. q, ...s..r,s %
To be sure, weather conditions for
the Purdue game at Lafayette Sat
urday were such that no team could
have scored many points on the slough
Of mud and water. where the two
elevens fought it out. On the other
hand, Aubrey Devii,e and Slater were
the only Iowa: players who were irlithe
game with all they had. The rest Of
the team took it easy, confide1lt in
their belief that it wouldn't be- nee
essary for them to extend themselves
to beat the Boilermak akers. Twice they
had the ball inside the Purdue 5-yarcl
line on first down, and neither time
did the line open up for the backs.

U. S.-CANADIAN TRADE

Washington, Nov.2 The United
States ''emergency tariff" has seri-
ously reduced trade between the
United States and Canada. The
Emergency tariff" went into effect
May 28. Between June.,1 and August
81, exports to the United States
amounted to $67,3s2, 700, decrease
Of over SO per cent as compared with
the same period last year. During the
same time, imports from, the United
States were $132, 2,016,000, decrease
Of exactly SO per cent over those of
the same month a year ago.
Is If this rate of decrease continues,
the total value of imports for the en-
tire year will be $300,000,0 below
that oA last year and the value Of
exports probably will suffer in like
manner. $s&. ...,',,.:,. ,>...,,.'~-... .
In The meantime, Canada is look

with whom such treaty of arbltra-
ton is in force e ..ss,ss.. -,
This provision was put in the al
lance so that Great Britain would
not be called upon to 60 to- war
against the United States, as Great
Britain had negotiated q convention ltls on
of general arbitration with this coun-
trv. which, however, failed Of ratitl-
cation by the American senate, and,
consequently is not in force between
the United States and Great Britain,
however, but the United States gov
ernment does not regard tins con-
vention as applying technically to
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The policies of the United States
and Japan in the Far East are almost
in direct opposition. No power has
violated the American poncy OF
"Open Door" in the Far East as has
Japan, with her network of economic
privileges, exclusive concessions and
monopolies in China. ..r
Likewise Japan has done more to
encroach on the administrative in
tegrity, and probably the territorial
integrity Of China than any other
power, while the United States has
always sought to preserve, the ad-
ministrative and territorial integrity
Of China. 49,: '.r..s.
AS the result of the breakup of the
Russian empire, Japan holds under
military sway a vast area of Russian
territory in Siberia, with the United
States and other powers fearful of
what rash step Japan's imperialistitc
policy will lead her to take next to-
ward annexing this rich field for
Japanese expansion.
Japan's activities in the Far East
have led to repeated protests from
the United States. Japan probably
believes the United States would new
er take any direct action over a Far
Eastern issue. Thus American pro-
tests become less and less effectual.
"& The American government hopes a
"show-down" will come in the limi-
tation of armament conference.
