FOREIGN PEOPLE
 WELCOME IN CHINA
Wi1iamstoEn Speaker Com. mentS on Situation

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 3 R)- The collapse of anti-foreignism in China is the most outstanding of all facts in the present movement. Stan ley High, of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, told the Insti- ute of Politics today.
 Tt needs to be known in Ameri- ca that there is foundation of or der and friendliness below the sur- face of events there in China," he said.
 Up to the present time, there has
 not been. in a single city of China, a single popular uprising against the foreigner, MT. High declared.
 Paid agitators or bandit soldiers. carrying out the comands of com munist commanders, have made trouble. But so far, the people have refused to be party to these out breaks. In Ranking. it is doubtful if any foreigners would have es- IdPCu "ltI t4lSlI llNco ildd Ae aOS
 been for the sacrificial friendship of the Chinese of that city. The present revolution. he said. Is largely a result of the influence of ] Christianity. with its basic teaching of equality.
 'The fact that missionary move ment has expanded until 1t touches the center of four -fifths of all Chi mas counties, indicates how exten- sively the missionary has been able to inject beneath the skins of the
 Chinese. the virsus of equality and self-respect that is finding its mo- dern expression in the nationalist movement. The Chinese are learning to dispense with the white man at the parental ends of their porridge spoons.
 The most striking development in China today is the decline of docil- ity."
 The missionary program of west ern Christianity is based on the as- sumption that domination of the world cannot be both white and Christian, MT. High said. He held that the presence of missionaries in China is practical expression that the continuation shall be Christian.

that, the commission had no legal right to fix the price for tickets? And did not the commission say that it's price fixing rule might have been abrogated if Mir. Rickard had shown the commission the common cour- tesy of calling upon them for in- formation?
 But for Richards point of view. Did not the commission run him out of New York with the first Dempsey-Tunney fight? And did not the commission notify him in let ter that $27.5O would be enough for the second act?
 The commission does not like to be referred back to the logic or lack of logic that caused 1t to believe that the first Dempsey-Tunney fight was not for the best interests of the railroad men, the hotel men. the theater ticket spectators and the taxpayers.
 If there were logical reasons to kick that first fight out of New York. it is hard to find a logical reason why the second bout between the same fighters could have be- come a matter of such vital im- portance to the business and enter tainment of New York.
 Then there was the odd statement made by William Muldoon. senior member of the commission. made last week when Rickard was being accused of being an ingrate and traitor to the great city that made him millionaire and put Madison Square Garden. Inc, on the stock exchange.
 T am firmly convinced that ball park is no place for boxing match" Muldoon said.
 Rickard. it might be added. felt the same way about it and that's one of the big reasons why he went to Chicago and was willing to pay $100,000 rental for a stadium that was suitable for boxing.
 It had been pointed out that Rickard might be harassed by the commission in his attempts to make and stage matches in the Garden this winter but no state body would look we'll in the role of a pouting school boy engaging in petty meth ods of getting even.

COMMISSION TO | PLAN NO REPRISAL
New York Athletic Body Unable
 to Punish RiCkard

New York. Aug. 5 (UP) - Now that Tex Rickard has gone west to Chicago officially and definitely with his Tunney-Dempsey heavyweight cham pionship fight, the boys here are wondering what the New York boxing commission will do to him.
 The answer is-nothing.
 Talk of reprisals against Rickard during the coming winter indoor season is idle because the commis- sion couldn't do anything to him. Rickard. according to the commis- sion, promised to stage the cham pionship bout in New York if the commission would permit him to charge $27.50 for the Dempsey-Shar- key fight Rickard denies this
 Even if Rickard did make the promise his "crime is the violation of verbal promise to do something that-the commission has no authority to exact and 1t is not a violation of the law or any rule.
 It Is to be doubted seriously. how ever. that the commission wants to get even with Rickard. The secreA tary of state and the commission under whose supervision it acts, are in the clear politically and politics counts just as much in the New York game as the interests of the customers.
 In the event that the tax payer" attempts to hold the administration to blame for the loss of revenue to the state treasury for a S2,000.000 fight or better. the secretary of state and his subsidiary commission can defend themselves with the plea that they did everything in their power to keep the fight in New York.
 Did not the secretary of state rule
