BRITISH BLANES
TROUBLE ON
i. 6.
BY B. 9. FORBES

Impressions CLEANED during a
tour through the United Kingdom
and Europe and from informal
mingling with many working.class
folks and number OF represen-
tative business and financial men:
The occupancy Of the seats Of
government by Labor is causing
no uneasiness whatsoever among
the great majority OF the British
people, but it has influenced the
sending Of good deal OF money
by the wealthy for investment in
American securities. This .un-
auestionably Is one reason why
gold has been flowing from Lon
don to New York.
The gravest problem in Britain,
as in several other European
countries, Is unemployment.
Mussolini has adopted as a
partial solution the spending of
government money on public
works. particularly road-building.
Britain has not yet found a cure
for the evil, but the Macdonald
government will also resort to
heavy expenditures Of public
money to provide work.
The best brains In the labor
party have been commissioned to
concentrate on the task, and It Is
certain that aggressive measures
OF one kind or another will be
taken. Whether the objective
will be attained remains to be
seen.
One hears very bitter com
plants from ali classes in Britain
regarding taxation.
Families of moderate means
have to pay more in taxes than
in rent. Astonishingiy little OBJ
lection is heard to the Labor
governments planned expenditures.
The almost universal attitude is
that, the Conservative party hav-
ing failed to cure unemployment,
every latitude should be allowed
the Labor government to attempt
new methods.
America, as a matter of fact,
Is being made the popular scape-
goat for Britain's burdensome
taxes!

LITTLE FELLOWS
TO SWAP BLOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT

Tommy Hughes used to ride the
ponies before he took up boxing as
"a profession, and the present con.
tender for the flyweight title used TO
swing a mean boot, as the boys say
in the paddock. He pushed many a
filly home ahead of the mob and was
rated heady and clever rider.
Since adopting the ring career.
Tommy has been equally successful
and has made horse out of many a
good boy. He plans on doing some
thing of the sort here Friday night
to Pedro Villa, whom he meets in
the 10 round main event at the I'm
perial Valley Athletic club.
Pedro is bunch of Filipino dyna-
mite who has strenuous objections
TO being anyone's horse, and figures
to do little riding himself, with
Tommy as the horse and the referee
in the judges stand.
He has been universally success.
fui IN the fight game since coming
10 this country from the islands,
and like most of the Filipino bows
he looks best when the going is
rough. There should be plenty of
fireworks when he and the Cleveland
freshman start throwing gloves.
In the semi-final, Jimmy Alvarado,
the smiling Hollywood boy will mix
it up with Jess Vasquez, the orange
picker from Santa Ana. Jimmy has
been on the local card several times
IN the past year and has made
big hit with the fans on each occas-
ION, not only because of his ability
as boxer but because he is a darn
nice kid. Up around Orange county
the fans think Jess is the pinkerino
is q fighter and that he is going to
rule the roost some day. Much of this
opinion is based on a slashing fight
he recently gave Ramon Montoya.
IN which he made the valley favorite
hustle all the way TO get a decision.
Old Andy Armstrong is back with
us again in the special spot, which
means the folks will see a fight.
Ole Andy meets Mike Gina. one of
the toughest nuts in the oil fields
around Taft, who believes he is
good enough to get into the bigger
money that is offered fighters in
the southern part of the state.
Md Iapanan, a local Filipino bov,
