Row Over Football,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 11.-With
the Harvard Lampoon claiming that

with the Daily Princetonian replying
that the attacks were pure insults.
the Big Three athletic war seemed to
be revived today.
Athletic relations between the two

ROYAL MISSION
GETS A VARIED
VIEW OF U. S.
Impressed by ''Paternal
Spirit
BY c. MCKAY, Federated Press

MONTREAL - (FP) - The British
royal mission to inquire into American
industrial success likes to gossip, but
only if direct quotations are not made
in the press.
Coming to Montreal, one member,
alluded to as very important, said the
secret they were searching for is prob
ably not to be found, but that Ameri-
can capitalism will before long be
suffering the same as the British now
A lot Of Americans are not as well
off as the golden stories of high wages
and prosperity indicate, said another
member. While wage rates are high,
deductions for time lost through sick
ness or unemployment bring down the
general average. In England workers
are paid, often in full, when i'll, and
also receive something when unem.
ployed. In one big U. S. corporation
which boasts of high wages there
was remarkable efficiency, but every
man is an automaton, paid to do so
much work in so much time, just a
cog, he added.
Another member Of the mission ob
served on the contrary: Employers
in the U. S. and Canada know their
men and realize they are not simply
cOgs in the wheel. They mix with the
men without weakening discipline
They know their workers problems
and take a human interest in them
They find this is good business on
their part"
This discovery that the noble pater.
nal spirit of the old family firm had
been preserved in giant corporations
and adapted to the conditions Of mass
production greatly impressed some
members of the mission as notable
example Of American ingenuity.
Another member said: over here
employers and employees mix and dis
cuss their problems In England they
meet, true, but with employers on
one side of the table and the employ
es on the other side, a situation
which does not make for comfort.
And with this observation, delivered
with the air of imparting profound
secret. the missioner continued his
study Of the scenery from the deck OF
the harbor commissioners yacht.
an America employers do not com
mand discipline, they act so as to de
serve it." said another of premier
Baldwin's pilgrims.
One thing the pilgrims seemed to
agree on was that public men who
talk about the decline Of Britain ought
to be muzzled. Britain might be hay
ing hard time, but she was not bank.
