WIDESPREAD Discomfort over
the world was manifested recently in
war and in more peaceful changes.

kSSSSOS@ ~ SAAssAA9NA'
ITALY, confronted with internal diff
ficulties, continues it's war against
Ethiopia with apparent success, al
though little credence can be given
reports emanating from the war zone,
as no dispatches can reach the out
side void without first passing through
the hands of one or the other of the
combatants.
Pressed by lack of room and by
economic difficulties, Italy needs more
colonies in order to give it's citizens
breathing space and to acquire natural
resources for it's industries. With the
other nations of the world keeping a
protecting hand over many of the
small nations, Ethiopia offers Italy its
only chance of expansion.
But even such small nut as Eth
opia may prove too hard one to
crack, as other nations apply economic
sanctions against Italy in an effort to
stop aggression before it extends be-
yond the borders of the African en-
pire.
Whether or not their efforts will
succeed can only be matter Of con-
lecture, as Italy is undoubtedly pre-
pared to stake everything on this ven
ture, and most of the other nations
are apparently hesitant to proceed be-
yond bluff. England alone may be
willing to take extreme steps to stop
the conflict.
GREECE, weary of the trials and
tribulations of it's republican form of
government, cheered a royalist coup
detat last week as General Kondylis
seized the reins Of government in a
swift and bloodless stroke.
The nations lawmakers then de-
creed the return of the monarchy, with
former King George returning from his
exile in England to resume the relns
of government.
n Despite the fact that everywhere in
the nation the move achieved great re-
joicing, the assennblymen decided to
hold a nationwide plebiscite Novem-
Der 3 to give the people a chance to
express their opinions.
CANADIANS, going to the polls in a
nationwide election Monday, swept
the incumbent Conservative party out
of office, giving the Liberals, under the
leadership Of Mackenzie King, who
once before served as premier OF Can
ada, the greatest parliamentary major
ity in the nations history.
The incoming party favors free trade
policies and reciprocal agreement
with the United States. The victory is
hailed by the Premier-elect as con-
shutting a great deliverance from one
hand government, from mistaken pol
icies and autocratic leadership, and is
acclaimed as triumph for broad prine
ciples and policies.
THE FOOTBALL dope bucket, which
gets kicked around a bit each Satur-
day during the fall months, took ter
rifle beating last Saturday as major
upsets were recorded in all sectors
Stanford, Rose Bowl contenders last
season, were beaten, 7-6, by UCLAi
Alabama Rose Bowl champions bowed
to Mississippi State, 20-7; the Mime
sofa steam roller thought to have lost
it's power, pushed over 1877 victory
over Nebraska, which had dreamed Of
national championship this year
Illinois added to Coach Howard Jones
worries by upsetting use, 1910; ane
little Whitman squeezed out TO vic
tory over the supposedly rejuvenatet
Idaho eleven.
Two other near-upsets were recorded
in the coast conference when Montana
held Washington State on the shor
end of the score until late in tn
fourth quarter, when series of break
gave W.S.C. it's second touchdown tt
score 1877 victory, and Oregon helt
the strong California eleven, considered
an outstanding contender fol- the pen
nant, to 60 victory, CALIFORNIA; lon
touchdown coming in the fourth quar-
ter after an Oregon punt had beel
blocked on the three-yard line.
While few title contenders are play
ing this coming Saturday some Of tn
fiercest battles on the coast will b
fought, headed by the clash betweel
W.S.C. and the University of Wash
ington, at Pullman. Both teams ar
in the running for the coast champion
ship, but Washington State, holdin
a record of being undefeated on it
own field for number of years, an
with greater power, is doped to wiz
despite it's poor showing against Mon
tana a week ago. Washington, Will
it's power is not as strong as usua
staged a surprising 100 victory owe
Santa Clara several weeks ago, an
may stage another upset this week.
Other games Saturday are Orego
State use; Oregon Idaho; Califor
