"No British Land for Sale''

Sir Henry Page Croft said, when he looked around the world and saw great nations under dictators with expansionist tendencies, the resolutions reminded him what the Empire meant to Britons. Their ex- istence depended upon Empire rlni- ty.
 He said bitterly it was urged they might placate Hitler by making sac rifices of the mandated territories, as if they could placate the hungry tiger tomorrow by throwing him chunks of meat today. Their sac- rifices to placate the German war lord had been enough already. He was all in favor of promoting Ger man friendship, but 1t could not be lasting if founded on blacknail. No country where the British flag was flown. was for sale. In the words of Joseph Chamberlain, they should reiterate- What we have we hold With the threat of highly mili- tarized Germany and it's colonist demands, 1t Is no wonder the pres- ent British cabinet became uneasy and was ready to spend $l ,50o, ,O00,- [ 900 for preparedness.

 London, Sept. B. Hitler's in- sistent quest for colonies can be traced the feverish haste with which the British cabinet moves to streng- then the armaments on land and sea and in the air. The $500, ,000,- 900 military program was conceived after the Nazis had showed their hands in Tanganyika and South west Africa, former colonies under British influence since the World War. The Hitlerites made 1t plain they would not be content with a campaign of propaganda for re- storation of the colonies when they bodily attempted to Nazify the terri tories.
 Oddly the campaign for colonies has almost ignored France, which also got part of the loot at Ver-' sailles. That's because the terrttor- les under the tri-color are equa- torial, unsuitable for colonization by white men. Both Tanganyika, un- der mandate to Britain, and Ger man Southwest Africa, under man. date to the British Union of South Africa, offer areas where white man can thrive. So 1t is to these former African colonies that the Hitlerites have looked for rise of the swasti- ka to herald the dawn of the new Nazi Empire.
 Shortly after Hitler came to pow- CT, a young German came out to Southwest Africa armed with ere dentials from the Nazi machine. He claimed authority as leader and gave orders. The German members of the local legislative assembly looked to him for their guidance. Anti -Semitism began to make it. self manifest towards Jewish mer- chants. Citizens of German blood were told to send their children to schools where they would learn German and also learn history told in the Nazi manner. Men of German blood, who did not quickly canform, were told they had better do so, otherwise their relatives in Germany would suffer and they themselves would meet condign punishment when Southwest Africa passed back to Germany -"as 1t was sure to do." Nazi uniforms and the Nazi swaStika began to appear.
 At one time in Windhoek, the capital, the flag of South Africa was pulled down and the NaN nag hoisted.

Southwest Africa was quick to find echo in England. The ihperialists in the dominant Tory party took alarm lest the cabinet might con- .sider buying the Germans off with an offer to return some of the man. dated colonies. So a meeting was called O. the Central Council of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations. This is the most important body in the Tory party. No Tory Prime Minister could afford to oppose its consid- cred opinion. One resolution read:
 Resolved that none of the man. dated territories under British con- trol be surrendered to the League of Nations or to the sovereignty of any foreign power" And some of the leading imperialists in the Tory party expressed themselves in lan- guage that must have sounded un- pleasant to Nazi ears.

SPORT SLANTS

Joe Mangan gree te d his oppo- nentS in turn with vigorous hand shake when the starters were call ed to the mark for the Wanamaker Mile, feature event of the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden. He warmly grasped the hand of Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke two or three times), Don Lash, Archie San Romani, Norman Bright, i Starter Jo hnny McHugh, Fred <! SchmertZ, director of the games, and just aeout every official around the starting post, causing wag in the crowd to remark that the Cornell law student was acting as though he was running for office instead of a footrace
 A week previous, Mangan was not so generous with his hand shakes He refused to extend his hand in congratulation to Glenn Cunning ham after their little Boston track party" when the Kansas flyer veer- | ed across his path to halt Man gans spirited bid for victory. The alleged foul provoked quite peeve in the breast of Mangan, who felt he had been robbed of victory. i Plaudits to Winner

It was ten minutes before the press pho tographers could drag him aside to shoot" his smile of victory. His little score with Cunningham was settled.
 Mangan's track career has been studded with surprises. From time to time he managed to settle down to win the Intercollegiate A.A.A.A. outdoor mile title and to create an American outdoor record for two miles while wearing the colors of Cornell. Last summer he popped up at the New York A. c. spring games to file a post entry in the three-quarter mile special and then stepped out with terrific finishing drive to outfoot Chuck Hornbostel and others in 3:01.4, new American record time.
 He has always showed to best advantage in outdoor races. But when he covered 800 meters in 1 :563 to finish behind Cunningham and Hornbostel on the boards early this season Mangan indicated he was about ready for his best cam- paign indoors. The race he un- corked in Boston on the occasion of the regrettable incident estab- lished that fact.

JUNEAU HIGH FIVE CHAMPS OF
 CAST, CHANNEL
Crimson Bears Defeat Doug las Cagers in Deciding
 Game Last Night

With the score 2O-20 at the end T the third quarter, the Crimson Bears of Juneau High School held tEeir Douglas High opponents score- less through the final period while they gathered seven points to drive through to the Basketball Champion ship of Gastineau Channel in the filth and deciding game of the 1926 r''~eS last evening at the High School Gym.
 n a dramatic finale to the sea- sons rivalry. the Juneau quintet out fought the Island cagers throughout tkree quarters of exciting though ragged play. The tenseness to which both teams were keyed resulted in hurried shooting and rough play during the first half in which sev- en personal fouls were called against Juneau and eight personal and one technical against Douglas. Juneau converted but one foul attempt and Douglas five, during the first two periods.
 Opening Tipo.i
 Juneau took the opening tipoff but no score was made until after two minutes of scurrying play, when Cashen drew first blood for Douglas with long field goal. The play then settled down and Hall soon evened the count for Juneau with a tricky field shot. Mills converted two foul attempts to go into the lead once more, but Hall and Webster sank fielc tries to put J. H. s. into the lead for the first time. Cashen was successful in a foul attempt, Co bring the score to for Juneau at the end of the opening period.
 Cashen's second foul conversion was the opening score of the second quarter, but a converted foul for Sturrock and a field goal for Hall put J. H. s. once again in the lead. 9-6 Bardi then sank one from the field and Cashen made his third successive foul conversion to bring the score to Juneau II and Douglas T. During the next three minutes. three fouls were called but there was no further scoring until the closing minute of the first half when Hall tallied from the field for Juneau and Wahto did likewise for Douglas. l.o Ia, nn,tn1ac O
 Second Half
 Sturrock converted a foul and Scott counted field try for Ju- neau to open the second half before Kilburn who replaced Mills for Douglas just before the first hall closed countered with field goal Webster then left the game on four personal fouls and was replaced by Bertholl after four minutes ot pls in the third quarter Kilburn sank one of his two foul shots and Feero followed with a field goal to tie the count at 16-16 The Douglas Huskies then took a four point lead on long shots by Kilburn and Feero. Bardl  found the range and evened the Gcore again at 20 all with two nice shots from the Sidelines. The third quarter ended without further SCOT ing.
 Final Quarter
 The final quarter was all Juneau, as Bardi, fed by his teammates, counted three field goals and Hall converted foul try for seven points to no scores for Douglas. During this last quarter the Juneau squad lost the last of it's nervousness and really went to work. Douglas fought des- perately, but, trying too hard, could not gain.
