Time To Pool Resources

Every day one sees in the papers
of some minor league club that is
suspending play due to financial diff
ficulties. People in this locality who
are near no minor league team and
who are interested only in the ma
jor leagues do not realize the SER
iousness of this condition. The min
or leagues are the backbone of base
ball. The major leagues depend on
the minor leagues for their talent
just the same as the colleges and
universities of our country depend
On our high schools for their stu
dents. However, the major leagues
are Just standing by and watching
the minor league teams pass out of
the picture. They say that they too
are in bad financial straits and that
they cannot afford to help the minor
league clubs that are on the finan-
cial rocks.
Baseball has fund in the Com
missiOner's treasury which has ac-
cumulated from the World Series.
Could not this fund be tapped in
times of such stress and be used to
help the minor league clubs that
have already gone under or those
that are on the verge of suspending
play. A meeting of the heads of all
organized baseball clubs should be
called and at this meeting plans
should be discussed whereby some
sort of aid should be pledged to
teams who are bearing the brunt of
the depression. Such meeting or
convention is within the powers of
Commissioner Lands to summon.
The big leagues cannot sit aside
and watch the minors slip into the
sea of oblivion if there are any
means to prevent it.

cut and supports the aims of the AS
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment. Therefore we should
find in the Democratic party those
candidates who will propose and
recommend repeal without qualifi-
cation.
while the Republican platform
does not meet our aims, it must be
remembered that 40 per cent of the
delegates to the Republican conven-
tion voted for submission of repeal.
Therefore we should also find in the
Republican party candidates who
will likewise propose and recon-
mend repeal without qualification"
Mr.. duPont's statement was issu-
ed following a meeting of the asso-
ciation's executive committee in
New York several days ago. This
committee is authorized to speak
for the association on matters of
policy. Members of the executive
committee are Pierre S. DUPONT,
Robert X. Cassatt, Bennett Crowell,
Henry H. Curran, Irenee E. DUPONT,
GraysOn M. P. Murphy, Charles H.
Sabin, w. H. StaytOn and former
Senator James w. Wadsworth, Jr.
Omission of any specific indorse-
ment of the Democratic national
ticket, composed of Governor Roose-
welt and Speaker Garner, comes as
a disappointment to those Demo-
Gratis who had assumed their un-
compromising wet platform and the
100 per cent" acceptance of that
platform by Roosevelt would rally
all wet forces to the Democratic
standard.
However, the Democrats have the
consolation that the powerful wet
group has indorsed the national
partly platform, from which the
Democrats draw the inference that
the way to carry out the platform
pledge is to support the Democratic
candidates.
While there was no official ampl1-
fication of the DUPONT statement, it
was learned that the executive COM
mittee takes the attitude that since
the President has no official part in
the submission or ratification of a
constitutional amendment, it is not
the the function of the association
to take sides as between presiden-
tial or vice-presidential candidates.

would continue Its domination of
M~anchukuo. and the world wonders
just what the League OF Nations can
and viii do about It. The Japanese
war office issued a statement declaring
that If the league acts In the spirit
of the Lytton report, Japan will have
no alternative but TO withdraw from
h league and oppose its action with
the frmest determination. France
has shown decided sympathy with
japan In the controversy and Great
Britain has been rather lukewarm In
her friendship for China. The Unit.
ed States, though not In the league.
Is d most important factor In the af-
fair, and Japan insists that Secretary
of State Stimson has again displayed
his animosity toward Japan and is a
menace to the good relations between
Japan and America. This Is because
Mr.. Stimson In an address before the
Philadelphia Union League club said
President Hoover had formulated a
successful policy of n~onrecognition for
territorial gains made by force of
arms. and added that the "open door,
