Track Captain,
To Enter Meet
BY LEROY r. SMITH
fHigh School, Junior College
Eeporter)

Central Hi is planning to send its
championship track team to the all
Southern California meet to be held
at the coliseum in Los Angeles to-
morrow. The fellows will have some
real competition; the champions
from all of the southern counties
win be present with their ambitions
for the Southern California suprem-
acv. According TO some of the Los
Angeles papers several records are
expected to be broken.
For several weeks the local track
stars have been getting ready for
Saturday, under Coach Armstrong s
thorough training. Some of them
are showing better time than they
made when they won in the county
meet. Eight men are going to Los
Angeles. These are Jacobs, for the
high hurdles, broad jump and the
high jump; Mitchell, l00yard dash
and 220-yard dash; Peters, 440-yard
dash and shot put; Allen, pole vault;
Willoughby, discus; Toller, low
hurdles; Kilgore, ssoyard dash, and
Sawyer, broad jump. Peters, Jac-
obs, Mitchell and Toller will enter
in the 440 relay.
Some of the pictures for the La
Solana, the high school annual, were
taken Wednesday night. These in
cluded tennis, track, baseball, and
basketball teams. After the track
pictures had been taken, the team
hald an informal meeting, which
became quite important, when 1T was
suggested that the next years cap
tain be elected. Bill Peters carried
the vote and is now making plans
for mex. year. Peters is an all
around athlete, He won his place
on the football squad, he tried for
basketball, took part in tennis, and
is the star catcher of this year s
nine. Besides all this he won his
spikes in track, in the relay, the
440 and the shot put. He promised
to be very successful track cap
tain.

SEES GOOD FUTURE
FOR MUSICAL CLUBS
G. W. I Professor Says Seeds
Have Just Been Planted
at College.

Musical activities Of George Wash

lined by Prof. John r. Lepham. chair
man Of the council Of musical organi-
cations of the university, at the regI-
lar monthly luncheon meeting Of the
alumni association yesterday after
noon at the Lafayette Hotel
Although the seeds of musical &C
tivittes have just been planted at the
institution, Prof. Lepham voiced the
hope that the institution in the near
future Will have musical organize :
tions that compare favorable with
those in other big colleges and uni
versities of the country. A Jazz or
chestra and two glee clubs ALREADY
have been organized, while a band IS
in process of formation, Prof. Lep-
ham said. 1t is the hope OF the coun-
ell on musical organizations, he ex-
planned, that some agency outside OF
the university will furnish instru-
ments for the band.
Prof. Lepham pointed out that the
formation Of musical organizations
Is necessarily slow. due to other &C
tivities In students career which
give greater compensation AS a.
illustration he said that a foot ball
star is looked upon as a hero.
The university's jazz orchestr;.
played during the luncheon. Dr.
Frank Hornaday, senior vice presi-
dent Of the alumni association, pre-
sided. Among those who attended
were Dean William c. Van Week Of

all discussion OF disarmament in
definitely and weaken the British po-
sition in the league.
AS to the league, itself, IL seems to
me that the fact that the Geneva
conference coincided with our own
political campaign served to obscure
what was actually done, while the
prime ministers gave to the league
itself great prestige. The simple
truth IL that the protocol transformed
the league into an association of ma
lions for the armed preservation of
peace, it gave to the council, which
Is the executive body, certain powers
analogous to those of superstate,
1t gave 1t measure of authority to
call upon the member states for their
contributions to repel an attack upon
a member nation, an attack which
the council decided on its own Judg-
ment to be ar aggression, and 1t
made all consideration of disarma-
ment conditional upon the acceptance
e Of such obligations BY member ma
Exposed to Coercion.
Assuming tho ratification of the
protocol, q member nation would be
bound to accept arbitration as the
method Of settlement of International
OF violence on it's part toward a
neighbor or indeed toward any mem
Der state, SO determined by the coun-
Gill; would expose 1t to every form of
coercion by the other member sta ties
and it would pledge itself to join in
such coercion against any other Of
Tending state. The league would thus
not alone provide the machinery for
the settlement of international dis
putes amicably. but also be clothed
with the power to employ the force
of member states or more exactly in
woke ito restrain any nation guilty
of aggression. Thus through the
league every state would be bound to
defend every other. assuming equal
respect for the league requirements.
Thus a German aggression against
Poland, a Russian against Rumania,
would automatically enlist the Brit
ish feet, the French army. in fact,
the force, military, naval and eco
| nomic, of all member nations.
Gives American Viewpoint.
Such being the fact It is plain that
all member nations would be in a
! position to limit their ornaments,
| since they would be assured not
merely of their own strength for de-
| Tense, but Of the collective strength
of the league. Patiently. however, each
reduction in armed strength of one
| nation would increase the moral obli-
cation of others to come to its as
sistance, IL It were attacked, since
| otherwise such reduction would be
an invitation to attack. Once the pro-

so far evaded any commitment to de-
fend France against Germany, al
though they are obviously vastly
more concerned in the latter case.
Much less do they desire to under
take contract which would GER
tainly or even possibly lead to Anglo
American collisions such as took
place during the early phase of the
World War. when we were still neu-
trail and insisted upon our rights to
trade with Germany.
Thus the simple fact is that at
Geneva Macdonald got caught in the
same kind of net at did Mr.. Wilson
at Paris. Like the late President,
Ramsay Macdonald was Lacquer; he
wanted to establish the league, and
he found that to do 1t he had to give
consideration TO the Continental point
OF view. This Continental point of
view was expressed In the protocol,
just as 1t was In the famous Article
y OF the Covenant, but expressed
much more clearly. Again, he desired
to get to the business of disarma-
ment. which Britain was deeply con-
cerned with. but he found that he
could only approach that through the
protocol. In other words, Britain
could not arrive where she wished to
arrive without making concessions
without, in fact. ratifying the proto-
col.
The situation which confronts the
new Tory ministry in Britain Is un-
mistakable. An international con-
ference under the league to discuss
disarmament Is fixed Professionally
for May. while there is to be a pre-
liminary meeting in Rome to arrange
for this conference, but the holding
of the conference itself Is condi-
tional on the ratification OF the pro-
tocol by a certain number of states.
1t would still be possible in theory
to hold the conference II Britain
alone of the great powers failed to
ratffy the protocol but the position
of the British representatives would
be difficult and. In fact, little could be
accomplished. for the British are the
chief protagonlst OF disarmament
ing everything and giving nothing.
Triumph on Surface.
On the surface the Geneva Confer
ence was a great triumph for Ramsey
Macdonald. because Europe accepted
his impulse in making the league the
basis of Its International relations.
But in reality the victory Was for the
continental nations, which gave to
the league that form which was con-
sonant with continental views and
transformed IL into a military al
lance to guarantee peace by binding
all members to Join In defense of any
member the victim Of an attack certi-
fed by the league 10 have been an
aggression.

Peril to Geneva Peace Plan
Discerned in British Move

Now the Tory government is in this
position: Britain has rejected the
French and Belgian proposal for
special alliance guaranteeing both
against new German aggression. 1t
may also reject the protocol which
avoids a special alliance by making it
general, but IL 1t rejects both forms
of guarantee for continental powers
it can hardly reopen the discussion of
the question of disarmament, for the
League OF Nations has adopted the
principle that disarmament Is condi-
tional upon security. Since, more
over, Macdonald and his cabinet ac-
cepted this principle, subject, of
course, to ratification, no British gov
eminent can undertake to persuade
the continental nations to reduce
their ornaments. while refusing to
listen to their claims for guarantees
against evil consequences of such re-
auctions.
But quite obviously the British
neither desire to give guarantees nor
to abandon the discussion of dis
armament, what then Is their alter
natives? Obviously 1t must lie in
postponing the league discussion and
seeking to further a discussion out
side the league. And President Cool
idge's proposal OF last Summer offers
just the opportunity. II the United
States calls a conference IL must be
outside the league, and It obviously
will not involve any question OF
guarantees, for the present admins
tration is wholly unlikely to con-
slider giving any European country
any form of American guarantee. Our
Government does not accept the
league view that disarmament is con-
tingent upon the provision OF COM
pensating guarantees. In an Ameri-
can conference disarmament would
be considered without regard to po-
litical issue.
May Find LO0phOle.
or course it is inevitable that If the
continental nations consented TO
come to an American conference they
would come prepared TO maintain
their own view, but inevitably the
British and American representatives
would be found in agreement and
even If the conference came to moth
would escape from a difficult situ-
alton; instead of standing in isola-
ton in the face of united Europe.
they would stand with us, and there
might be a repetition of events in
the Washington conference.
II no American conference takes
place, then, in due course. the British
Parliament Is likely to ratify the
protocol with just such reservation
as the American Senate put upon the
original covenant, reservations which
in effect would enable the British to
avoid any such commitment as the
protocol contains, but the effect of
such a course would be to adjourn

own divisions, but those Of Britain,

own divisions, but those Of Britain,
Italy and Belgium.
The difficulty with all this Is that
the British-and the Americans. un-
like the continental nations-being
in no danger of attack wouid-as-
Stunning that we Joined the league-be
called upon to contribute armed
strength and share IN dangers of
others without having any compen-
sating advantage. unless both nations
regarded this contribution as indi-
rectly profitable as 1t insured peace
in the world. And so far neither ma
ton has been willing TO assume the
risks and both have worked to bring
about disarmament without condi-
lions.
The protocol represented the tri-
umph Of the nations living In the
midst of dangers over those living in
security. SO far as the question of dis
armament is concerned. It's rejection
would bring US back to the old dead
lock and an American conference
would almost inevitably lead to new
phase OF the deadlock, with Britain
and America taking one side and the,
continental countries the other. In
the league, with America absent, the
continental view has prevailed, but in
pre- ctice with Britain refusing to &C
cept the protocol completely and
America absent wholly. the question
of disarmament could hardly have
any solution and the league, itself,
would once more lack authority and
! influence.
Ultimate success for the League of
Nations must depend upon the dis
covery of some viable compromise
| between the views of the continental
countries and of the insular that IT,
of the nations like Great Britain and
| It's dominions and the United States.
So far the difficulty has lain in the
| fact that these views are mutually
exclusive, thus the United States re-
| jected Mr.. Wilson's covenant, after 1t
had suffered the notifications made
in Paris and the British are gravely
considering Ramsay MacDonald's con-
| ceptions as they were similarly modi-
fed in the Geneva Protocol.
What Farley Would Achieve.
! And, one final word about an
American conference to limit arma-
ments. the chief difficulty would lie
| in the fact that we could propose
nothing of interest to the other con-
ferees, because, unlike the naval dis
! cussion in which we offered TO end
| a competition in which neither Brit
ain nor Japan could keep pace and
thus resigned naval supremacy dis
cussion of the size of our Army in
| terests no one and a further reduc-
| ton would constitute no incentive to
any nation on this planet to do like
| wise.
| On the contrary the single proposal
| which would interest France. Bel
GUM, Poland and the Little Entente
would be an offer to increase our
| Army If these countries reduced
| theirs and pledge assistance If they
were attacked. And. of course, no
such proposals are In any American
| mind. We could, OF course. propose
