WHITE BLUFFS DEFEATED

White Bluffs was defeated, Fri
day night at Riverview, by score
of ~ to II. This is the second
straight defeat and has caused
rather perturbed feeling among the
players. The game at Riverview
started out very good for River
view, White Bluffs realizing how
other teams suffered in our old
gym. The score at half time was
IL to for Riverview..
Friday nights game here is our
game at home with the same team.
A good game is assured, so every
body be sure to come. A candy sale
will again be sponsored by the Sen
ior Glass.

Merry Christmas, Everybody!
This may sound bit early, but
then, next week it will sound too
late. Here is a word to the girls
and boys: Now, when you girls
hang up your stockings, don't keep
awake to see Santa Claus-you may
be disappointed in the long run;
and, boys: When you think OF
nnottos for cards and greetings,
Just remember that presents make
the heart grow fonder.'' Anyway
that's what all the girls say, so get
into the spirit of giving be-
cause you feel you have to, but be-
cause you feel you want to. The
students wish one and all Merry
Xmas and very Happy New Year!

A naval source stated Italy's posi-

Mediterranean as follows:
I'm 1885, when the British home
fleet steamed into the Mediterranean,
Italy, preparing to meet any eventual
ity, placed its fleet at its highest ef-
f1ciency in history, ably supported by
the air force.
IF the home feet was a bluff, the
bluff was called. Britain stopped and
looked. She saw that the Italian fleet
was in a certain inferior ratio of
strength to her own fleet, but was
capable of inf1icting tremendous dam
age, with the help Of Italy's superior
air fleet.
so large a portion of the British
fleet might be destroyed that Britain
would cease to be in the first line Of
naval strength.

Britain did not put the bluff, If
bluff it was, into effect, and Italy won
out in Abyssinia.

She saw that her ratio of superior
strength was not sufficient, and she
wants to increase it.
But Italy saw that by having fleet
at certain ratio Of strength with re-
gard to the British feet she could keep
the British from striking.
Nov she intends to maintain that
ratio. AS the British build, Italy will
build. the ratio will remain the same

CARDS ON TABLE"

Speaks Monday.
Ey the Associated Press.


DENVER, October 81. Former
President Hoover, calling for the New
Deal to "lay its cards on the table" "
headed for California today, where he
may make "last minute" campaign
speech Monday night.
In an address before a Republican
meeting which filled the $500 seats
of the Municipal Auditorium last
night, Hoover joined in the challenge
Gov. Alf M. Landon voiced in New
York the night before-that Presi-
dent Roosevelt answer their questions
respecting his plans if reelected.
why does not the New Deal really
lay its cards on the tablet" the
former President asked. He demanded
the President reply in plain words"
to the questions:
Does he RoosevelD propose to re-
vive the nine acts which the Supreme
Court has rejected has he aban-
doned his implied determination to
change the Constitution does
he intend to stuff the court itself
will he discharge these asso-
ciates of his who daily preached the
new order but whom he does not
now allow to appear on this cam
paign?"
Freedom Grave Issue.
Hoover described the "transcendent
issue" as free men and women"
adding, "our people did not recognize
the gravity of the issue when stated
1t four years ago."
THAT is no wonder for the day Mr..
Roosevelt was elected recovery was in
progress, the Constitution was un-
tranpled, the integrity of the Govern
ment and the institutions of freedom
were intact" he said.
The subsequent panic which greeted
Mr.. Roosevelt's inauguration" Hoover
added, came from realization of in
tended tinkering with the currency"
In turn, he asserted, recovery was set
back for two years"
Hoover departed from his prepared
text to remark: Mr. Roosevelt lately
suggested to those who did not agree
with some of his measures that it
might be we'll for them to move to

Would Restore Faith.
II would suggest instead that we
restore faith in this Government" he
added.
Hoover said he rejected while Presi-
dent most of the ideas since adopted
by the Roosevelt administration be
cause they would not only delay re-
covery, but because I knew that in the
end they would shackle free men,"
II rejected the notion of great mo-
nopoIes and price fixing through
codes. -
Il rejected the schemes of economic
planning to regiment and coerce the
farmer > . refused national plans
to put the Government into business
in competition with its citizens
vetoed the idea of recovery through
stupendous spending.
Il threw out attempts to centralize
relief in washington for political and
social experimentation defeated
other plans to invade State rights -" I"
7 stopped attempts at currency infla-
tion and reputation of Government
obligation"
The California speech plans, includ-
ing the place, were indefinite.
