will furnish the Blue and White the
stoutest sort of opposition. 1t will be
the final game of the season for the
Coggins-coached five.
Central Highs base ball squad will

~ USINESS, it appears certain,
- will be real contender for the
crown in the public high school
IL series that begins in about SIX
weeks.
If Coach Jack Collins can develop
O. capable second baseman and a de-
pendahle shortStop, the StenOgS are
certain to have a combination that
will make all their rivals step briSkly.
One thing seems sure, and that IS
that the club will be a good hitting
one
Bernard Jones doubtless could take
care of either second base or short
stop in highly acceptable STYLE, as he
demonstrated last season, but he IS
not expected to play this year.
Among those whom Collins figures
promising talent at this stage for
these jobs are Dorsey Lynch and Les
ter Singman. Collins may also decide
to give Jakey Lewis. catcher, chance
as IN infielder. Lewis Is neat
catcher. but il may be he could be
used more advantageously around sec
ond or short. In the event Lewis is
groomed for the inner works, Charley
May will be looked over as possible
successor to the former behind the
bat. May has the build and appears
to possess the arm and other requl-
sites OF a good backstop.
Business should be strong in the box
with three regulars and one likely
looking newcomer at hand. Capt. Ed
die Marosy and Randolph Shreve,
southpaws, and Revelle Jones, right
handler, are the experienced hurlers
available and Alton Darne, another
right handler. is the recruit.
Louis Fridinger. all-high catcher

substitute with Tech couple years
back, are being considered as catchers
in addition to Lewis and May. There
is understood, however. to be some
question as to Fridinger's eligibility

Goodwin in four laps raced almost

By TANG sans sac.

After Lloyd George and the social
democrat Macdonald, who in the year
1924 was responsible for an armed
Intervention against Canton, for the
purpose of forming a common gov
eminent mainly made use of the
Chinese question as a weapon against
the Conservative government of Bald
win and Chamberlain, and after
Chamberlain and Baldwin have come
to realize that the continual armed
actions in China have not resulted in
any success, the English government
is adopting towards China so-called
liberal policy which first found ex-
preston in the much talked Of Mem
orandum.
What does the Memorandum actu-
ally say? 1t speaEs Of the uncon-
ditional grant of the Washington sur
taxes (thero is to be demanded neith-
err the abolition of the Likien nor
are the new revenues to come under
foreign control nor are they to serve
for the funding Of the Chinese debts);
the revenues are to be at the dis
posal of the most competent Chinese
authorities, that is, they will not be
paid into a European bank. Secondly,
in regard to the question of eX-terri-
toriality, England is of the opinion
that certain proposals Of the commits
son for the investigation Of the ques-
ton of the ex-territoriahty could,
without any great delay, even under
present circumstances, already be car
ried out Thirdly, England proposes
chat the powers recognize the nation
al aspirations Of China in a common
program declaration. The policy
of protest in small matters is to be
given up; protest shall be preserved
for important cases, but must, how
ever, then be made effective by COM
mon action"
The question Of ex-territoriality
plays only minor role in the Mem
crandum. England's attention is
mainly directed to bringing together
the international imperialists for the
purpose of an attack against the Kuo-
min government and against the
liberation movement. Further, Eng
land, by recognizing the additional
taxes for the whole of China and the
delivery of the revenues to the "com-
petent" Chinese authorities, wishes to
help the military rulers to obtain
funds. The civil war in China is to
be prolonged and the whole country
is to be divided up into so many little
feudal principalities, as India.
The clique of imperialist lackeys,
the Chinese generals, such as Chang
Tso-Lin, WI Pei-Fu, Sun Chuan-Fang
etc. are obviously collapsing; the

New Danger Of Intervention in China

I soldiers are mutinying, the lower gen
erals are falling away and going over
to other armies. This fact is mainly
attributed to the great shortage OF
money. Neither the soldiers nor the
officers are receiving their pay. The
imperialists have themselves recog-
nized that it is precisely the extortion
practiced against the population by
the reactionary military rulers which
is more and more increasing the SYM
pathy for the revolutionary troops.
They have for long been seeking a
way out for their lackeys from this
impasse. The tariff conference,
which they had hindered and post
poned for years, was for them, after
the blood bath of the Both May 1925,
after the revolutionary movement had
extended more and more, a welcome
excuse for supporting the reaction
aries. In the Autumn of 1925 the
conference was convened under the
Tuan She-Sui government. Last
year when finally there was no longer
any Picking government in existence,
the English constantly endeavoured
to carry out the tariff conference to
an end, because they wished, on the
basis Of the surtaxes, to grant the
counter-revolutionary rulers a loan.
After the seizure of power by the
revolutionary Canton army in the
Central Yangtse area, in Hankow and
Kiukiang, the English propose in the
Memorandum the unconditional grant
of the Washington surtaxes. 1t is
stated in this Memorandum that the
revenue is no longer to be delivered
to the Central government but to the
local officials.
In China there are as marine Gus
toms offices. Is of these at present
belong to the Canton government, the
remainder to the outspoken imperial
list lackeys. The big customs offices
CT the Kuomin government, i. e. such
as collect over one per cent. of the
total customs revenue, are: Hankow,
Canton, Swallow, Kiukiang, Chung
kiang and Annoy. But their income
only amounts to small percentage
of the total revenue. Hankow re-
ceives only go of the total revenue,
Canton $40, Swallow 2.48eo. The
reactionaries, on the other hand, have
much greater share of the total re-
venue, for example, Shanghai 39.5S9e,
Tientsin $500, Delnij 1880, Kiaut-
chow 1870. Of the total revenue
the Canton government receives a
fourth. The $3.50 surtaxes can in
crease the total income of China by
80 to 40 million Haikwan Taels Ga
tael is about 8 shillings). Of this
amount, according to the intentions
of the imperialists, the northern mill
tary rulers are to receive 20 to 80
million annually. This sum is to rep
