Club in this city were at occasional

It was also noted that while the

dency was manifested on the part OF
the young gentlemen comprising the

I honestly believe we'll have a good

why I agreed to become catcher.
IF the pitchers will have more

they are going to be much tougher.

M noumcement by the United
States Polo Association OF a
new 1885 handicap list-in
which Tommy Hitchcock and Cecil
Smith are reduced from 10 goal rat
ings to 9, leaving not single To-
goal player in the United States
gives rise to some thoughts concern
ing the galloping game in this coun-
try.
Just what do the custodlans OF
the game want-the establishment OF
the sport on a rip-roaring popular
basis or its continued existence as
class sport known to the comparative
few and caviar to the general pubic?
This point came up rather signifi-
cantly in the course of preparation
for the East-West contests at Meadow
Brook last Summer. Part OF the
policy involved an intensive campaign
of publicity in which agents Thereon
were taken into the delightfully."- hos
pitable arms of the Polo Association
and so kept au courant with al
phases of the projected series. the
result was a splendid press, as tne
English say.

Italy's Big Problem
BIZ James T. Williams, T.

For richer, for poorer-aS
the marriage lines read-Italy
seeks today security through
colonial expansion on the con-
tinent Of Africa.
That is what Japan sought
yesterday on the continent Of
Asia, when her army seized
Manchuria and set up the pup
pet State of Manchoukuo.
That is what Germany may
seek tomorrow, but whether on
the continent of Europe, Asia
or Africa who can now say?
But Italy, although occupying
in the economic world a some
what similar position, is a great
deal poorer than either Ger
many or Japan. And there is
no basis of comparison between
Italy and the United States,
Soviet Russia, Great Britain or
France.
Facts are relentless" as the
President said the other day in
referring to national affairs.
They are no less relentless when
encountered in foreign coun'
tries.
FOREIGN QUESTIONS
These relentless facts regard
ing Italy are not cited for the
purpose of passing Judgment on
her course, but only in juStifi-
cation of the firm resolve Of the
American people that their
blood and treasure shall not be
drafted to support any Euro
pean balance Of power or to pull
any foreign chestnuts out of the
fire, be they European, African
or ASiatic cheStnutS.
Some Of the conditions that
are forcing Italy to seek colonial
expansion were recently sue
cinctly set forth by Prof. viii.
liam E. Linglebach, Of the Uni.
versity of Pennsylvania. Speak
ing before the Institute of Pub
lie Affairs Of the University of
Virginia Prof. Lingelbach said:
"Italy is desperately in the
need of colonies, and Of agricul-
tural, industrial and mineral re-
sources.
"The great economic depres-
sion which set in in 1929 was
felt in Italy several years earlier.
Since then it has rested with
crushing weight upon Italian
economic life because of the pow.
erty Of natural resources.
Gas a result, despite the re-
markable achievement of Fas-
ciSm to ease the burden as much
as possible, and the altogether
unbelievable response Of the ma
ton in tightening its belt to
meet the ever.increasing hard
times ahead" the situation has
become well-nigh desperate.
"The national deficit has
grown steadily in recent years,
mounting from . little over half
a billion lire to more than three
and One-haf billion.
"Wages already low were
again cut 10 per cent in 1884,

but despite vigorous efforts to
bring down prices, without .
commensurate reduction In rent
and cost Of living, skilled labor
in the industrial centers Of
Milan and Genoa receive an
average wage Of about IL cents
an hour. Because Of the press.
ure Of unemployment the A.
hour week adopted in 1882 was
modified last year in certain
industries to q 34.hour week
schedule.
Taxation has reached the
saturation point, the national
debt is enormous and the trade
balance Of Italy is unfavorable.
The lire, stabilized at too high
a level, grows steadily weaker"
All the while pressure of popu-
lation on the geographic terri.
tory as now limited becomes
more and more severe. Prof.
Lingelbach points out that Italy
contains five times as many
people as live in the six New
England States, although Italy
is only about twice the size Of
New England.
There Is an average density
Of population of over 352 per-
sons per square mile as against
41.8 in continental United States
five years ago.
And this gives only part Of
the picture. Owing to the fact
that the upland areas of the
Apprentices are very thinly pop
ulated "the density in the more
populouS regions is very great,
often rising above $780,"
There is little wasteland left
and all available land that can
be cultivated is heavily occu-
pied.
POTENTIALLY RICH
On top Of these hardships the
Italian people find themselves
crowded into a country which
has almost no coal, iron, petro-
leum or cotton. Yet these are
the raw materials on which her
industrial development depends
and without which a large part
Of her population cannot be en-
ployed.
But in the interior of East
Africa, italy has found an area
well suited, as her people be-
lieve, to increase Italian Secur.

that somewhere, sometime in
the very recent past there was
an international dispute almost
exactly the same as this. Wasn't
the United States deeply in
volved almost to the point Of a
rupture Of relations with an
other great power? Yes, such
was the case.
All this was back in the early
months of 1882. It concerned a
dispute between Japan and
China. A japanese train was
wrecked in Chinese territory.
Who wrecked it, nobody knows?
Japan began sending armies
across to China.
Why? Because she wanted
satisfaction for the wrong: be-
cause she wanted Manchuria,
immensely rich in natural re-
sources and an outlet for her
population and her nlanufac-
tured goods; because the
Chinese were backward" in
government, did not maintain
law and order and were in need
Of the domination Of a forceful
race.
CLOSE TO WAR
The American Secretary Of
State at the time was Henry L.
Stimson, a believer in treaties.
He went to bat with Japan,
condemned the bombing Of
Chinese towns, pointed out the
provisions of tht Kellogg-Briand
nonaggresSion pactS and warned
that the United States would
refuse recognition of territorial
gains made by the force of
arms. To the amazement Of Mr..
Stimson and to Americans in
general, who knew Of England'S
great stake in the East, Down"
ing Street left our State De-
partment out on the limb.
"The stabiIizing effect Of
japanese OverIOrdship In Man
churia will be beneficial to the
world" Such was the unctiOuS
summing up of British official
opinion at the time.
The same Captain Eden, then
undersecretary for foreign at.
fairs, said as much in the House
of Commons when a member
asked him if England was to
support Mr.. Stimson'S monroe
ognition stand. The New York
Times of March 3, 1882, in re-
porting the debate in the House
Of Commons carried this state
ment:
"As far as Manchuria e con-
cerned, the British definitely
are unwilling to play ball with
the American State Department.
It is recognized here that Japan
needs Manchuria for her trade
and teeming population, and it
is felt that it would be wisest
for Britain not to attempt to
thwart her. When the time
is ripe the British government
will decide on recognition (Oe
ManchOukuO) solely from the
standpoint Of British interests"
