 United Press Staff CorespOndent)
 New York, Feb. 17.-(UP)-Jap- anese enthusiasm for the Olympic games planned for Tokio in 1940 is swinging back from the low point reached when it appeared that the games might be abandoned because of the o-Japanese hostilities.
 This information reached me to- day in letter from my old friend and colleague, Harold Thompson, of the United Press Bureau in the Japanese capital. Without your per- mission I am going to print the let ter, with its interesting data on the games.
 "There still remains a possibility that Japan may forego the honor and prestige of conducting the games here. But the sponsors of the Olympaid are going ahead with their plans, confident that peace will have returned to the Far East in two years and that the games will prove a valuable tonic for war weary people.
 "Only a small amount of con- struction has been done in prepara- tion for the Olympiad, but the or- ganizer are expecting to speed up their activities this spring and summer. A great amount of paper work has been accomplished and officials say they have plenty of time to translate plans into actualities.
 "The first construction work thus far has been on the rowing course. located along the Ara river on the outskirts of Tokio. The course is being carved largely out of land and when completed will be 2000 meter lane edged by high dykes and wa tered by the river. There will be 8 boathouse capable of handling 70 racing shells and grandstand for 5000 spectators.
 "All of the games except the win- ter sports would be held in Tokio beginning probably in August. That is Japan's hottest month and there may be a move to alter the dates to avoid the enervating heat.
 "The main Olympic stadium will be developed around the present Meiji stadium whose seating ca pacity is to be increased from 30,- 900 to 80,000 at cost of about A. 100000 yen.
 "The Olympic village will be near Setagaya, long way from the bright lights of Tokio's downtown district. Work on the village has not been started. The equestrian, cycling, skating, wrestling and other events will be held in places appropriately enlarged and equipped.
 The winter program will be held in Sapporo, to the north.
 Housing conditions in Tokio are inadequate for the number of visi- tors expected. Several new hotels are under construction but others, which were planned in the first flush of enthusiasm when the games were awarded to Tokio, have been given up because of the war in China.
 "The projected eight-story addi- tion to the famous Imperial hotel was one of the buildings temporarily abandoned. There is doubt whether it can be completed by the time of the games.
 Professor Jigoro Kama, head of the Japanese delegation to the h. ternational Olympic committee meeting in Cairo in March, already has departed. Professor Kama will tell the delegates from all over the world that Japan fully expcts to act as host to the athletes of the world"

Terryvlle Spurns Third Game With Thomaston Team
Special to The DemocraD

Thomaston, Feb. 17-Announce- ment by the management of the Terryville high school team that a play off between that team and Thomaston high is not deemed advisable has proven keen dlsap- pointment to Thomaston fans. Fol lowing the game here last Friday night when Terryville trimmed the home team by a 27-22 score, a future game was anticipated since Thomston earlier in the season had emerged on the top end Of similar score in a game with Terryville.
 Although the result of such con test will not effect the rating oi either team in the other scholastic game which may follow, the interest the two teams on neutral floor ran high.
 The Thomaston team and man. agement are understood to be as eager for play off as are the many basketball enthusiasts here, but are forced to abide by the decision oi the Terryville management ln the matter.

The Braves were tagged by the Red Sox two games last week to go into tie with the Tigers. J White and Mango were the Braves stars, Johnny rolling 370. All the Sox rolled good and although they won two games, they were out pinned for the total score.
 The Tigers beat the last place Athletics three games to move into a tie with the Braves. Greece, P. Hamel and R. Hamel were the Tigers outstanding primers. Masi was the Athletics high scorer.
 The Yankees took two games from the Cubs with Krasnitskas, Carroll and Paternoster smashing the pins in good sytle. The Cubs rolled good enough to win two games, but the Tanks refunsed to be taken. Only two pins was the difference in the total score. A very close fought match.
 Jack Heating led the Pirate att tack on the Giants with 345. The Giants (after few goods weeks) had a slight slump, with Nelson being high man with 338.
 We wonder:
 What Johnny Manzo said (under his breath) after missing two one pin spare leaves in the first two frames.

HELPING US ALL

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad off
Gals are helping this section in a
number Of ways in acquainting people
of the cities with the advantages of
spending their vacations here in the
mountains.
For such helpfulnes these officials
deserve the hearty thanks of all in the
community.
They have recently issued we'll
printed and attractive folder concern
ing the mountain top, which is be-
ing widely distributed.
They ran an excursion here last fall
to show people the scenery and are
repeating such an excursion on Sun
day, June 5.
They consented to have the National
Limited stop here during the sum-
mer months on every Friday evening
from May 27 to September 2, which
should be great convenience to those
in the cities who wish to spend the
weekend in this area.
There is no way of knowing just
how many hundreds of people will be
drawn to the mountain top as a result
of these gestures of friendliness on
the part of the railroad company's of
ficials. Such cooperation is much ap-
preciated.
Citizens of the county should ac-
quaint their friends in the cities about
the National Limited, as many proba-
bly, would take advantage of the Fri

made mistake in timing" its pump
printing program, and that the huge
bonus payment in 1886 had helped to
bring about the infationary psychol-
ogy which ended in the collapse OF
1887.
We are sure Mr.. Eccles must be
mistaken about this, even if he does
think that the next pump printing eX-
pertinent will be better controlled
doubtless through the "anti-monop-
oily" Investigation. With a Congress
sional election coming on we don't
think it is fair to blame the New Deal
ers for anything. To do so might
nullify some of the political results of
pump printing. 1t wasn't the fault OF
the college professors but of our wick
ed business men who grabbed the ball
from the New Deal quarterback and
ran in the wrong direction.

BUSINESS TO BLAME

Now the real blame for the recess
sion in business is being disclosed.
For time Washington told US there
wasn't any such animal. The, new de-
preston, it was claimed, occurred only
in the minds of the people. Now, how
however, it is being admitted that
something is the matter with the
"works" at Washington. But as usual
it isn't the fault of the New Deal but
of private business. The Brain Trust
ers primed the pump all right and
then business grabbed the ball and ran
away with it. At least, that is the
statement accredited to President
Roosevelt and he has informed the
newspapermen that the chief concern
of the new monopoly inquiry will be
to devise ways and means by which
the administration can keep control of
the ball when the new pump printing
project gets to going good.
1t is reassuring to know, of course,
that the New Dealers had nothing to
do with causing this new depression;
that it is all the fault of business. 1t is
of course easily possible for Repub-
lican, or Horse and Buggy President
to cause depression but this couldn't
be done by New Dealers. When they
win they planned it that way. But
when they lose, they didn't plan it
that way-business just took advan-
tage of slight tumble and more or
less deliberately ran away with the
ball, cutting its own economic throat
just to spite the reformers.
Of course, it looks little improba-
BILE that the New Dealers could actu-
ally close the ball', with all the facil-
tiles they have for keeping, it. They
can expand and contract the credit,
raise and lower tariffs, increase and
devalue the dollar-do about anything
they want to-and still they ''lost the
ball." and business did call the dirt' to
the country.
This must be the true explanation,
because the President himself said
early in his administration that if the
New Dealers made any mistakes he
would be the first to admit the fact
and to usher in change of policy. He
hasn't done this, so it must be that
they haven't made any mistakes.
Of course there is a little difference
of opinion on this matterseven among
the pillars of the administration them
selves. In recent speech before the
New Jersey Bankers Association
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman Of the
Federal Reserve Board, admitted tina
the government was partially respon
sible for the present depression" anc
he called it a depression" by name
He said that the government hat

Fire Races Barn Saturday Near
Grantsville

A fire of unknown origin destroyed
a barn belonging to Paul Herring,
just across the State line north of
Grantsville, on Saturday night.
Machinery in the structure and a
number of chicken brooders as well
as the building were destroyed before
the Grantsville fire department was
summoned. Firemen kept the blaze
from spreading to nearby buildings
and the Mennonite church.
Members of the family were absent
from home, on a visit with nearby
friends, at the time of the outbreak
but returned when notified of the fire.
