ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Miami Basketball League
will get underway on the 10th of
November. Managers and men,
bers of local clubs will get togeth-
er this week to try to form a City
League for the approaching sea-
son. Play will probably begin at
the same time as that in Miami.
The Park Tigers, last years cham
pions, will have almost the same
club, who were: Gates, Albury,
Hale, A. Smith, Johnson, Beccaise
and one or two more who will join
before the season starts. The
High School boys have their club
and the City Five and Busy Bees
will have to pick from among N.
Hernandez, Mathews, Thompson,
C. Parks, P. Parks, F. Carbonell,
J. Cooper, Weintraub, Dominguez,
Doughtry, Adams, Baker, Archer,
Rosam, Saunders, Knowles and
Sweeting. There are enough play
ers to form two strong clubs. The
writer hopes they will get togeth-
er and be in readiness by Novem-
Der 16.

created a factor for danger in the
market and ordered the Federal
Reserve Board and the Treasury to
seek methods of controlling foreign
purchases, by legislation if neces-
sary. One reason for this, the
President set forth, was to keep the
eurrencies of principal nations rel
atively stable. Too, this is III line
with the Administrator general
policy with respect to the stock
exchanges. which is the prevention
of preeipitous rises in values and
excessive speculation which it re-
CARDS as dangerous.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission, created to regulate stock
market operations, made its first
charge of manipulation this week
1t charged one of the largest firms,
w. E. Hutton and Company, and
H. M. Michels, California broker,
with manipulating stocks on the
New York Exchange and ordered
them to show cause why they should
not be expelled from exchange menu
bership. .sss4
They quickly denied the charges.
Hearing was set for December z.

further support from the Third
Reich. This will undoubtedly be
followed by return of the Danzig
Senate to cooperation with the
League
This week put into the future the
possibility of better relationship be-
tween II Duce and the nations OF
the Little Entente (Yugoslavia, Ru-
mania and Czecholslovakia) And
Mussolini has far from succeeded
n driving wedge between France
and the Entente, Paris keystone
alliance in Southeastern Europe.
The Vienna conference of Ital-
ian, Austrian and Hungarian rep
resentatives solidified Mussolini's
influence in Italy's neighbor states
on the Danube, but did nothing to
better relations with the Entente.
The conference expressed its full
approval of Hungarian rearmament,
viewed with distrust by the Entente
nations.
These nations likewise are united
in opposition to the restoration OF
the Hapsburgs, with young Arch
duke Otto on the throne in Vienna
In Rome, the engagement of Otto
to Princess Maria, youngest child
Of the Itadian sovereign, is now re-
garded as certainty. And this
would be a boon to Otto's chances

In the Far Gast, There was evi-
dence that Chang Kai-Shek was
finally determined to make an ag-
gressiva stand against japanese en-
croaehment in North China.
Dispatches from Suiyuan, Pro
vince in North China said a. force
of 10000 observation-disclosures seeking
to penetrate further into Ghinest
territory were driven back by Chin
ese troops, There was no word thai
Kai-Shek, the Chinese generalissi-
mo, had ordered the stand against
Japans Manchukuoan Allies. But
it was doubtful whether the North
China War Lords would battle the
invaders if Chang opposed such ac-
ton.
Since its occupation of Manchuria
and its creation of the puppet state
of Manchukuo, the policy of Japar
has been the further occupation Of
inner Monaghan states in NORTH
China, thus securing its position
against China to the South anc
Russia to the West.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

British policy, its rearmament,
and its position in European affairs
continued to dominate the foreign
scene. sv
Downing Street served notice the
British government was still COM
mitted to the aid of France and
Belgium in the event of an attack
against either nation. While Sir
Samuel Hoare, First Lord of the
Admiralty, stated in the House of
Commons that "the situation diff
fers materially from the situation
in 1914 this did not mean Britain
considered it had no commitments.
In 1914, following the Anglo
French staff agreements, Britain
was committed to a definite mill
tary program of action. This is not
the case now. The method of aiding
either nation would still be open to
decision after attack
Thus, Britain considers itself still
bound to the Lorcano Pact, even
though Germany abrogated the pact
with Hitler's rearmament program
and with his remilitarization of the
Rhineland.
| In view of this there's wonder at
the lack of any bettlement of Britth
: and German relations; and it was
plainly evident that Hitler has
failed to stand off Britain against
its wartime allies.
This was not Hitler's only set
back. The German Dictator, it
would appear, backed down in Dan
zig in the face of Polish demand.
The .Nazis in Danzig, after gain
ing control of the Senate in the free
city, have steadily sought to GUST
the League of Nations from all con-
! troll over the city's affairs, given
to the League in its Covenant. The
League intrusted Poland with the
task of forcing the Danzig Nazis
into conformity with the Covenant
i And Colonel Josef Beck, Poland's
Foreign Minister, made it an issue
with Berlin.
Hitler, deSirious of maintaining
! Poland's friendship, especially in
view of the recent F'rench-Polish
rapprochment, gave his assurances
the Danzig Nazis would have nc
