InaSmuch as interest is necessary in order to attract crowds to pay the expenses the changes that are being planned will no doubt add new life to the Intercollegiate A A. A. A. This in turn will do much to elevate the standard of competition, among collegiate track and field per formers.
 If proposed measures go through 1t is likely that the next intercollegiate A. A. A. A A. games will be staged at Ann Arbor, Mich. It is known that the athletic authorities at the Michi- gan seat of learning are anxious to take charge of the next champion ships.
 Word comes from Pasadena that the committee of the tournament of the Roses is anxious to be awarded the privilege of supervising the next intercollegiate championship.

CANTON SEEKS TO UNITE CHINA AND OPPOSE JAPAN
Presidents Aide Says Arms Conference Leaves

the Pacific question could onay be effected by a Japanese victory in war with America.
 "It is plain, however, that Japan could not vanquish America If she had to rely on her own resources. But it is equally plain that she could do soEif Chinese man-power and Chi nese natural resources were at her command. Hence the raison d'etre of Japan's policy in China
 'tIt is also a term of the argument that Japan's real aim is masked in the contention that she seeks in China only room for her surplus population and the raw materials without which her. industries would perish. But intra-mural China is overcrowded, and the conditions of life in extra-mura1 China-Manchuria and Mongolia-are not suitable for genuine Japanese. as distinguished those regions. As regards raw ma terials these are and always will be available to Japan through the ordi- nary trade channels.
 Aims at Domination of China.
 These considerations. therefore, seem to support the view that Japan's policy in China aims at the domination of China with her man. power and natural resources in order to enable Japan to force open the gates of Australia and ArAerica to Japanese immigration.
 elf the foregoing~view is correct,
  gestion that a mere limitation of armaments cannot solve either the Pacific or the Chinese question. A mere limitation of armament leaves JaDan-re1atively to America and the other Great Powers-in the same position of power preponderance held by her today. Japan is the greatest military power in the Far East. in. deed in the whole Of Asia. And her ability and power to prosecute her policy of aScendancv in China would be increased. not diminished, by any scheme limiting the development of CANTON SEEKS TO UNITE S the only factor of restraint on her, i. e..

 "On this view America would be faced with the political paradox of working the greatest injury to China whilst genuinely trying to assist her. That paradox was seen in the Knox scheme of railway naturalization in Manchuria; and it was repeated in the policy which brought China into the great war and sacrificed her at Versailles.
 And Same Paradox Will Reappear.
 And the same paradox will re- appear so long as it is not realized that the future of China is a vital not an altruistic-concern to Amer ica-

It was to destroy this antagonistic feeling that the individual who have, the welfare of the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. at heart, decided to open the membership of the parent body to all colleges wishing to come into the fold No doubt all of the big univer- not yet become members will soon make application. With it's member ship increased by such an influx of new members the influence of the all sections of the United States. This in turn is going to increase interest in track and field sports.
 For many years past the bars have been up against increasing the mem bership by having in effect a rule which would drop from membership any college which failed to be rep resented in championship games at least once in two consecutive years. To the outsider this might not ap- pear a very grave obligation. How ever, when it is known that hundreds of seats of learning seldom have enough good talent to live up to this rule an idea of its severity can be had. Another thing was that the games were always staged in the East This meant that the athletes of the Pacific Coast and Middle West had to travel thousands of miles each year to keep up their member ship in the association. This expense was too much for the smaller schools. As result few joined tn eassocia- ton.
 | It is the intention Of the govern 1 ing board of the Intercollegiate A A. A. A. to do away with this rule The only obligation that new mem | bers will be asked to assume is thai they do all in their power to swell the entries at each annual indoor and outdoor championship gather ings.

 From all that can learn the good old American dollar is coming back .into it's own. People from one end Sting around to the idea that the only basis for real prosperity is an honest days work for a fair days wage.
 The United States, considered as a Whole, has been on bus1ness drunk for the last five years Prices, up to recently, were out of all sense ,and proportion for the value received. Some fellows feH into a habit of charging three times what thing was worth and when some. poor devil Ipaid what they asked wanted to kick , themselves because they didn't charge more. :. The high value of our dollar has kept the foreign trade of the United States from expanding.
