FaSCiSm Sweeps
Through Europe
War Approaches
BY Bill Jones

Continuous suppressions of mill
tant workers, increase Of unemploy-
Inent throughout the world, lower
ing OF living standards by decreas-
ed wages and increased living costs
and insane jingoistic militarism and
reyerish armament race In all ma
tions.-ail points to the evermore
rapid approach Of German war
explosion in Europe and a Japanese
stroke in the orient.
Chief reason why no imperialist
government Is quite ready to start
the world holocaust Is deadly fear
that a revolt of the masses would
follow-general strikes. paralysis of
commerce and war activities. A
wave Of national civil wars might
well sweep over imperialist powers
under the coordinated leadership
OF revolutionary proletariat.
When public opinion rebels a
gainst Hearst jingoism Arthur Bris-
bane can leave that field OF endea-
vor long enough to wonder. What
must the angels think OF a race that
shudders at a cock fight and can
not make up its mind to abandon
wholesale murder in war" But even
as conscientious a liberal as John
Dewey recognizes the materiallistic
and class root Of war when he says
that I'VE may desire abolition Of

amount Of preaching good will or
the golden rule or cultivation OF
sentiments Of love and equity viii
accomplish the results. There must
be a change in objective arrange
ments and institutions" But that Is
as far as he gets.
Storm Troops Rebel
Even the Hitler regime is not I'M
mindful of the possibilities of a CO.
ordinated outburst, for examples OF
minor outbursts among the NaZi
troops are decidedly on the increase
thanks to the continuous under

France is scared stiff by the
Nazis' reputation OF the Versailles

all: France has been forced to stand
mutely by and see her former allies
such as Poland, Austria, and the
Balkan countries grow farther away
from her by recent treaties and
other appointments with Germany,
Her frantic attempts to draw clos
er to Russia recently have been
amusing, coming from her, the arch
enemy of the Soviets. She seeks
support at almost any cost.
The British ruling classes are
also becoming very much disturbed

Devil Takes Hindmost
In this many sided grouping of
imperialist powers there are many
possible alignments. Italy might

in the coming world struggle at
arms. all depending upon the mon
etary profits of the act. For there
is no international solidarity in the

again, perhaps not. Only time will
tell. AS Marx said, THE knell OF
capitalist private property sounds"
The imperialists are hearing its APP
proaching tolls. And they can fore
see that the exprOpriators will be

among them can already see them
selves in a prize fight, fighting
without rules. In the words of John
Strachey, They can no longer CO.
operate even about the conditions
of their competition" And the tide
sweeps on.
Fascism Breeds War
But if the class alignment should
crystalizc more rapidly than looked
for in the larger nations within
the next two or three years, with
fascism on top for awhile as it now
shows promise of doing, then the
story might be quite different. With
fascism in the saddle in most of the
countries of the world two things
would be quite certain. In the first
place, the second world slaughter
would be greatly FASTENED because
both the internal and and the inter
national functionings of fascism
force internal collapse and tnterna-
tional clashes in order to maintain
the system, which in turns hastens
to annihilation of the system.
The inevitability of more speedy
collisions between nations is made
evident by the nature of the stu
ation-fascism being the last des-
perate struggle of imperialist eX-
ploitation to maintain itself at any
cost against THE rising tide of the
proletariat. In the second place,

heavyweight, who bopped Jimmy
Walker, indianapolis, on the button
with a solid smack in the first round
which left the recipient helpless.
Walker got up, but another wallop
put him away for keeps. He was so
dazed he walked out of the ring on
the wrong side and started for the
street exit before he was captured
by his seconds.
Two popular local featherweights
went four fast rounds, with Paul
Waggoner outpointing Young Leach.
Waggoner, a stiff puncher, had his
rival down for a short count in the
first round and outslugged him all
the way. Jimmy Shannon, Indian
apolis junior lightweight, was
awarded technical Knockout over
Jack Sparks, Cincinnati, when the
latter went down without apparent
ly being hit solidly.
Lee Cox, popular Cincinnati well
terweight, dropped a shade verdict
to Nick Nicholson, Shelbyville south
paw, in another lively tussle. The
Buckeye boy rallied after a. slow
start and there was little difference
between the rivals at the finish.
In wild SUGGEST, Bob Kahn,
Flackville middleweight, and Slavko
Radisch, local youngster, battled to
draw in the opinion of the Off
Gals. Both scored knockdownS, and
most ringsiders believed Kahn held
slight edge at the finish. In the

cisioned Billy Breedlove of Green

Eight four-round tussles, with
battlers of all shapes and sizes, gave
the scattering of loyal followers on
hand an exciting evening. Seven of
the tussles we're crowd pleaserS,
and the other, as promised by both
Matchmaker Lloyd Carter and the
State Athletic Commission, was
stopped in the first round when the
moguls decided one of the boys
wasn't giving enough action.
Although the crowd was conSpicu-
Gus by its absence, Mr.. Carter and
mitt officials believe the new system,
inaugurated last night in an effort
to revive the mitt industry here
after several dormant months, will
meet with popularity and bigger
crowds soon. The next program is
scheduled for Friday, Dec. IA.
A new favorite, Lou Thomas,
walloping young light heavyweight,
and youngster who already has
built up a following here, Paul
(Tennessee) Lee, clouting feather
weight, provided highlights in last
nights action. Thomas, who has
been coming up fast after recent
debut, stopped Jerry Whilford, Gin
cinnati, in the second heat after
having him on the canvas in the
first round and twice in the second.
He's a hard puncher and clever
boxer, and according to Kelse Nc
Clure, his manager, will grow into
full-fledged heavyweight any
day now.
Lee, a crowd-p leaser here on sew
eral programs, is an improved
fighter over previous performances.
He found a tough opponent in
Mickey Brown, Cincinnati youth,
and was forced to step lively to
capture the edge. Brown was willing
but Lee was too fast.

Principal business transacted by
Big Ten officials was an alteration
in the training rule to permit be-
ginning of football practice Sept. 10,
five days earlier than heretofore.
The faculty representatives held a
three-hour session last night re-
garding the Big Tens rule which
provides ior only three years OF
varsity competition, in which inter-
collegiate competition between
freshmen players counts as a year
of varsity participation.
1t was learned reliably that the
Big Ten will make no special ruling
to apply to Minnesota's six trans
fers from other colleges, which per-
nit freshmen competition. The
application of this rule closes the

schools. In addition, j Bevan, guard,
will lose a year of varsity competi-
ton, but still has another year to
play.
The faculty representatives
planned to announce their decision
today.
The Big Ten coaches have voted
to make two recommendations to
the national football rules commit
tee, as follows:
l. Permit a substitute to talk as
soon as he enters the game, instead
of waiting until after one play.
2. Clarity the rule as to when a
bap-carrier is permitted to make a
lateral pass. Some officials allow a
runner to lateral after he has been
tackled and others disallow a lateral
after a tackler has his hands on a
runner.

Iowa had the ushers deputized at

Baer Is Ordered
to Defend Title
Boxing Union Rules Champ
Must Fight Belgian.
By United Press

By United Press
PARIS, Dec. 8.-The International
Boxing Union today decided that
Primo Cameras boxing record was
untarnished, and it demanded that
Max Baer, heavyweight champion,
meet the Belgian, Pierre Charles,
or risk loss of recognition by the
Union.
May 6, 1885, was set as the date
for Baer to accept a match with
Charles.
The Union considered charges by
Leon See, Cameras former man
ager, that the big Italian engaged
in several matches in which the
winner was determined in advance
Camera submitted a denial and
corroborative evidence.
In making its decision, and dis
missing Italian charges that Car
nera was treated unfairly when he
lost the championship to Baer, the
Union decided that Baer was cham
pion.
