five million foreigners in this country, and a large percentage of them are on the dole.
 We have been the Santa Claus for Euro pean citizens about long enough. We should use our borrowed money to take care of our own people With millions of our own citizens on the charity list there is no reason for adding to governmental indebt- edness by supporting foreign citizens.
 It would be impossible to determine the exact number of foreigners who are being taken care of by the Government But Con- gressman Leslie c. Arends from Illinois maintains that if we were to send back all the foreigners now on the dole in this country the State and Federal governments would save approximately two hundred mil lion dollars year.
 He believes further, that every foreigner should be registered He introduced bill in the last session of Congress which he expects to vigorously promote in the next session which calls for tax on every for egner employed or doing business in this country An unskiled laborer in accord ance with his plan would have to pay twenty-five dollars year; a skilled laborer fifty dollars a year; scientific or profes- sional men a hundred dollars year; and an alien would pay a hundred dollars for each place of business he operates
 There is no reason why foreigners coming to this country should not pay something for the protection and privileges which are extended to them so liberally.
 Our citizens have to pay their share of the governmental expenses. And although foreigners would naturally be subject to the income and other taxes if they were prop erty owners, they do not assume some oi the responsibilities that are required of our citizens
 Congressman Arends, maintains that the taxes he proposes on foreigners now secur- ing the advantages of our governmental system would add at least one hundred million dollars a year to our Treasury.
 But the most important feature of the bill is the saving that would result from shipping our foreign charity wards to their home countries.
 We are under no obligations to foreigners who come here. If they find our country offers them advantages superior to their own, they should be willing to pay something for this privilege.
 Furthermore, the registration of foreigners suggested in this new bill would make the detection of those who are here illegally less difficult
 We can be sure there are no United States citizens in foreign lands who are being supported at governmental expense Then why should we extend such favors? It is a good question. Why should not foreign our country pay for the privileges exten em under our form of government? They n e opportunity, if they desire to become citiz' 1t when they do not do so, it is only fair ey be taxed for their privileges, and, as acFadden suggests, when they reach that pc lere they cannot pay but must look to the Cove ent for their subsistence, it is high time to s em back from whence they came

After Sanctions
Washington Post.)

Sanctions against Italy were not invoked by a war-weary world until every possible effort to per sade Mussolini to abide by the bare essentials of treaty obligations had been exhausted. Now that sanctions are in force it of the greatest import ance to civilization that their pressure should bring a negotiated and legal settlement of the dispute with a minimum of friction and delay. Otherwise the validity of the contractua basis of all treaties will continue to remain in doubt and the threat of absolute anarchy in the relations of nations will prolong it's shadow across the world.

Frequently, in recent years, one has noticed famous football names of a generation ago cropping up in the collegiate lineups and summaries with little "jr's" attached. The younger generation of Staggs, Hes tons, Pages and other great names have done little to endanger the rep utations of their famous daddies, but then perhaps too much was ex- pected of them because of the names they bore.
 Right now young Bill Spauldin3 is a member of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles football squad which is coached by his father. The younger Spaulding is one of the most promising backs Coach Spauld- ing has in the ranks.
 Navy Has a Junior
 At Annapolis, Midshipman Bill Ingram is carrying on the name of his father, made famous in Navy football. Old Navy Bilp' coached at Annapolis for years and then re- signed to take up the coaching duties at the University of Califorsli3, where he continued to teach foobtal until late last fall when he decided to re- tire from the field.
 Fuss McLaughry, Brown coach, can look forward to better days for he has two sons coming along, and reports have it that the youngsters have the makings of real football players. Andy Kerr's son will soon be wearing the Colgate colors on the gridiron and doing what he can to put over his fathers ball-passing tricks.
 There is a peculiar situation at Notre Dame. Coach Elmer Layden knows that his kid brother Mike is fine ball carrier, but does not use him as often as he would like for fear of being accused of showing fav- oritism. Elmer leans over backward trying not to show Mike any pre- ference with the result that they both suffer. Mike, because he is not getting the opportunity he deserves, and Elmer because he deprives him.
