w YITH dramatic suddenness.
M the political storm center
" " once more has moved from
Europe to Asia.
Two puppet states are at logger
heads-the Mongolian Peoples Re-
public, commonly known as Outer
Mongolia, and the Empire Of Man
chukuo. Behind these states-one
created by the Soviets in 1924, the
other by Toxic In l933-are two
hereditary enemies, Russia and Japan.
Mongolia and Manchukuo are the
pawns whose moves are directed by
hidden hands in Moscow and Toxic.
The recent attack on Japanese and
Manchukuoan troops by 10 Mongol
military airplanes, manufactured in
Russia and flown by Soviet pilots, was
the most serious Of the score of border
incidents which have occurred since
January, 1885.
The Toxic foreign office made few
comments; the vernacular newspapers
were ordered to remain silent; the
general staff uttered no word. And
this unusual silence worries the State
Department here and the foreign
Offices in London and in Moscow. 1t
is an ominous sign when Toxic refuses
to be drawn into a controversy in
which its protege, Manchukuo, Is
involved.
Back in 1885 Willard Dennison, an
American consul in Japan, became
so interested in the progress of the
Nipponese Empire that he resigned
his commission and entered the serv-
ice Of the Japanese foreign ofiice as
confidential drafting officer.
Notes in 1904 Cited.
In 1904, when relations between
Japan and Russia were strained, Den
nison wrote the notes to st. Peters,
burg He called on his foreign min
lister one day and asked him conf
dentially what Japan intended to do
in regard to Russia. You see, your
excellency," he said, eff you mean to
go to war with the Russians, I shall
write suave and we'll balanced notes;
If, on the other hand. you don't in
tend to fight, shall write strong and
offensive notes" The foreign min
lister thought for few seconds, then
answered, You had better use your
most conciliatory and suave style"
That principle of diplomatic corre-
spondence still is followed by the
Japanese foreign office.
Since the death in 1924 of the
Living Buddha," Outer Mongolia,
though nominally still under China's
suverignty. Is directly controlled by
Moscow. Soviet agents are the aides
of the Mongol high oficials and direct
the policies Of that country. The con-
troll of Mongolia is important to the
Soviets because through that country
passes the direct route from Manchuh,
In Siberia, to Chinese Turkestan.
But what is more important these

days than this caravan route, of
doubtful commercial value, is the fact
that Outer Mongolia is the key to the
defense Of Siberia and forms an in
valuable base for an eventual move
against Manchuria. Moreover, in the
event Of a successful attack by the
Japanese against the maritime prov
inces, the Soviet relies on the region
west of the Baikal Lake as its princi-
pal defense.
The day that country becomes an
other Manchukuo, the Russian tanks
in Siberia can be turned, and the
whole plan of action Of the Moscow
general staff will have to be changed.

days, with caterpillar trucks and with

was not an easy task to induce these
wild warriors-excellent horsemen and
remarkable marksmen-to accept the
rigid discipline of the modern army.
But after 10 years of intensive work,
the military instructors from Moscow
managed to convey a perfunctory idea
Of modern warfare to the Mongolian
hordes. How strong this army is to-

Young Mongolians have been taught
military strategy and modern drill in
Soviet military academies. However,
there seems to be no doubt that the
Mongolian army. without direct sup

The appearance of 10 bombing planes
on the Manchukuo border indicates,
nevertheless, that the Soviet reinforce
ments already are in the border state.

try to pocket the "key" to Manchuria
and Siberia is not easy to say at the
present moment. For the Japanese,

Let's Forget Changes
in Basketball Rules
By Claire Bee

JUDGED by the number of persons
- playing basketball (between 3,oco,-
coo and 1000, oo0), it is truly the ma
tional sport. Its continued development
will be limited only by the accommo-
dations provided for spectators.
Mr.. Ned Irish, through his use Of
Madison Square Garden the last two
years, has created a national impetus
which no other factor has equaled.
There is no doubt that schools and
colleges henceforth will provide seat
ing facilities for crowds of 10000 to
10000 when planning gymnasium con-
struction. The game is definitely ''big
time" and never will return to an in
tramural status. Further assurance of
its big time caliber is it's recognition
as an Olympic sport.
The greatest weakness of basketball
in the East of the country is the lack
of a coaches association. Virtually
every other section has an organization
of that nature to serve as a forum for
discussion of rules, interpretations and
changes.
l am absolutely opposed to elimina-
ton of the center jump, the out-of-
bounds play after a successful free
throw, the three-secOnd rule as applied
to the free-throw circle, elevation of
the baskets and any change involving
sacrifice of individual technique for
mad, fire department" foot race,
or additional advantage to the Zone-de-
Tense type of play.
At the basketball coaches conven-
ton held in Chicago last year, DR..
James Naismith, inventor of the game,
made a strong appeal for retention of
the center jump. Its abolition, he
pointed out-and | heartily agree with
him-would discriminate against the
tall, gangIing boy. He is in the mi
nority, anyway, and should not be
legisIated out of virtually the only
team sport for which his "extra" height
qualities him.
Cutting out the center jump would
furthermore, put too much strain on
the players by depriving them of the
short rest between the scoring of a
goal and the return of the ball to the
center circle. Basketball is one of
the most strenuous of all mass games
To force schoolbOys to travel at top
speed for 40 minutes without a breath
ing spell would make it too exhaust
ing.
The three-secOnd rule was intro
duced to prevent the Juggling and push
ing that accompanies the "back-up"
type of pivot play. AS applied, how
ever, it not only has eliminated one
of the most colorful features of the
game but has barred about 20 per cent
of the front court from offensive use.
Coach prog" Allen of the University
of Kansas wants the baskets raised to
a height of u feet. | can see no reason
whatever for this change.
A few weeks ago the Mcpherson
Kansas, played an exhibition contest
at the Garden. Several of them actual
~ could dunk" the ball in the basket
by taking little hop. But not one
shot of that kind was made during the
game. ..
Without doubt, the blocking question
caused more intersectional controversy
than all other disputed points. No
two persons seem to be entirely in
agreement concerning the interpreta-
ton that should be placed on the rules.
Basketball has proved it's merit.
Let's forget rules changes.

Polo Is Faithful
in Following Form

However such a method is neither
possible nor necessary. Polo follows
form nearly as faithfully as its sea-
sons follow the sun. Hockey doesn't
though and because of its many upsets
gains another virtue to lure the player
and the people who pack the Garden
Even though 1t has the element Of
speed. polo can never achieve nation
wide appeal. It's too definitely rich
mans game, although ! believe In the
future it will increase with such i'm
petus as Pete Bostwick has injected
into it. You could buy skates, sticks
and enough equipment to pad goaie
twice with the money it takes to feed
slightly used polo pony" like the
one last years Crescent hockey team
wanted as mascot. And you can't
play much polo on a slightly used''
pony.

1900 Soccer Teams
Now in Organization

Approximately 1900 teams, compris-
ing $4,000 amateur players and 700
professionals, are engaged in competi-
ton under the auspices of the y. S. F.
A. Although no definite figures are
available concerning those taking part
in colleges, schools and public play
grounds, it is safe to assume the num-
Der is equal to, or greater than, the
total of association competitors.
A great deal of impetus has been
given to the advancement of soccer in
America by frequent visits of we'll
known teams from abroad. The first
foreign invasion was made by the Ha-
koahs, clever aggregation of booting
stars, and has been repeated on a
bigger scale every year.
The advent of a representative COM
binatiOn from the Scottish Football
association last summer was a red
letter occasion in the history of Amer
lean soccer. The technique displayed
by the Scots won many new adherents.
The U. s., r. A. is going to send a
team to the oIympics if the necessary
funds can be raised. Although the re-
Spouse to appeals for money has not
been very promising to date, the COM
mittee in charge still expects to col
Iect the sum required.
If 1t is successful the United States
will be represented by the most pow
erful group of soccer players ever as
sembled under the Stars and Stripes.
