N YEW YORK, June 1S-"The new

Ryder Cup team, just before
the squad left their New York hotel
for the Boston train. IT don't think
1t viii make much difference to us
over here. 1t would have made lot
Of difference in our country, but you
don't haye our winds. No, we haven't
played it q great deal, but we have
used 1t enough to know how it acts
In still weather there isn't so much
difference.
"The matches? It would be foolish
to try to predict the outcome now. AL
I can say is that our men are in good
form and that we win do our best
Yes, Tommy Armour played fine golf
don't think it Is just to say he was
lucky. That was q great last round.
Only three men out of that field had
a chance to beat him, and they blew
up. It was too bad about Mac Smith.
He Is a great golfer, but those two pre-
liminary rounds beat him. He didn't
have quite enough left.
Jose Jurado9 a splendid golfer, but
championship. He is to tiny. He hits
q ball hard and goes all out on every
shot,"
A pleasant, fine looking crowd, these
British professionals. Powerful Archie
Compson, who looks as If he might
have made q champion heavyweight
boxer; Broad-shouldered Abe Mitchell,
George Duncan, another great veteran,
quick Of thought and action; Arthur
Havers, who won the championship at
Troon In 1928; Fred Robson. w. H.
Davies, Bert Hodson, s. A. Easterbrook
and Ernest r. Whitcombe, brother of
the team captain, the latter four on

i said Archie Compson. Except In
q wind, 1t will go about as far as
the old ball. It Is all right for the man
with skill enough to play 1t. It takes q
little more skill, that's all. The player
whom the new ball really affects Is the
man who scores around 80.
This new Empire State Building is
marvellous thing" said Conpson,
changing the subject. ''I went up on
the roof Of the hotel this morning and
that the one thing must do Is to
go up in that tower. did and so did
most Of the others. The visibility was
good and the view was marvellous. No,
didn't enjoy the elevators so much. It
was worse coming down than going
up. Say, how about this Camera? Is
he really good or not?"
It seemed fitting that the Empire
State Building should bring Camera to
mind. Archie Compson, who Is plenty
tall himself, said that he had once
met the huge Italian on the other
side Of the water, and that he undoubt-
edly had color.

Gandhi's Scanty Costume.

Mahatma Gandhi is tn bed in London
with heavy cold. Regardless of the
chill and damp and fog prevalent in the
British capital at this season of the
year, he has been going about freely
in his scanty costume, and this is the
result. The Mahatma's insistence upon
his native dress while in attendance at
the Indian round table conference has
in 1t touch of the fanaticism that
manifests itself conspicuously in India.
Gandhi did not need to do this in order
to hold the center of the stage at the
conference. His personality would have
commanded universal attention If he
had adopted the conventional garb,
which is worn by a great many of his
fellow countrymen, and which he wore
for many years and discarded only when
he assumed the role of leader of
Hindu nationalistS. His fantastic ap-
pearance won no sympathy for his
cause. 1t did not affect the Judgment
of those sitting in consultation. In its
msistence upon primitive principles, in
deed, it was handicap rather than an
aid. Now the Mahatma is paying the
penalty in an Illness which may possibly
have grave results. Should death ensue
Gandhi will have been a martyr to his
cause. That has been his role for long
time and it is quite certain that he will
not change it for considerations of per-
sonal safety or comfort 1t may be
magnificent, but it is surely not common
sense,

Since the Five-Power Limitation Con-

his travels in Europe last Summer, has
immensely fortified himself in those
qualifications so essential in modern

acquaintance with the statesmen who
are directing the external relations of
other countries. There is in the United
States today no man with such CON
facts" as Secretary Stimson enjoys in
Great Britain, France, Italy and Ger
many. His comradeships extend to the
Far East, too, because he is friend of
japanese Prime Minister Wakatsufi
and Foreign Minister Shidehara. The

incomplete without Col Stimson as its
chief
President Hoover is experiencing diff
ficulty in persuading members Of the
Senate to serve as delegates at the dis
armament conference. If the exigencies
Of politics in the chamber, due to the
slender margin dividing the parties
there, are the controlling factor in Sen
ators' reluctance to go to Geneva, they
should remember that the pairing sys-
TEN still prevails. II a Democrat, like
Senator Robinson or Senator Swanson,
and a Republican, like Senator Borah
or Senator Moses, were on the American
delegation the senatorial balance of
power in their absence would not be
disturbed. The field Of delegate choice
outside Of official life is wide. The United
States would be admirably represented
by men of the caliber of Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, George w. Wickersham,
Elihu Root, John w. Davis, Owen D.
Young and Newton D. Baker.
Europe and Asia expect Uncle Sam
most ardent Of disarmament proponents,
to speak at Geneva through delegates
whose eminence, prestige and authority
will bulwark American hopes that the
conference shall get somewhere. That
is of course, the expectation here in the
United States, too.
