NO ONE INDUSTRY
IS SELF SUSTAINING

Capitalism, generally and thoroughly
attacked by so-called liberal thinkers
for decades and now more or less under
fire by the present federal adminlstra-
tion of the United States, Is one OF the
most widely misunderstood OF economic
functions. SO impersonally has capital
ism been depicted before the American
public that we are wont to think OF 1t
in terms of the MorganS, the Vanderbilts
and the Henry Fords Yet capitalism,
just as truly, is practiced by John Jones,
who operates a drugstore down on the
corner, and Henry Smith, who shines
shoes for a dime a pair.
The political opportunists, of course,
declare it is only the big fellow they
want to wipe out. They name him capl-
talist and set him up as nigger-baby
for target practice with mud cannon
balls They never under any cir
cumstances remind their listeners that
this institution of capitahsm-thls III
stitution which includes in its portals
the House Of Morgan and Henry Smith
alike-is an interlocking fabric which
depends on every one OF its component
parts for successful operation.
Take any industry at random--any of
the big Ones-and follow it through.
You will find that it reaches unerringly
into your every day life, that many of
your conveniences and perhaps a part
of your wages depend upon it. Take, for
instance, the petroleum industry, one
of California's biggest. Ordinarily we
think of the "Oil BarOns" as persons
whose doings have no possible effect on
our own lives, whose business is none
of ours Yet study the facts.
If you drive an automobile, your mode
of transportation depends upon eff
cient operation of the petroleum indus
try for economy of travel. You and
others like you pay a billion dollars
a year in federal and state taxes on
the products of the petroleum industry
taxes which in many instances amount
to as much as the total price of the prod
uct would be without taxes.
If you drive a tractor on a farm, your
employment has been made possible be-
cause the petroleum industry has fur
nished fuel to operate the tractor. If
you, a farmer, spray your plants with
insecticides, it is because the petroleum
industry has developed those insecticides
for your use.
You oil the fan in your cooler and the
dough-mixer in your kitchen with oil
made available to you by the petroleum
industry.
Considering all this, it is easy to see
that politically inspired trouble in the
petroleum industry i as in any other
ndustry-reaches Immediately to every
person in the country.

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT FOREIGNERS?
(Riverside Press)

Riverside PreSs)
French school children must have just
as hazy notions about some things, not
ably history and foreigners, as ours in
Riverside. During the recent Paris visit
of the King and Queen of England, a
French newspaper asked school chill
dren to answer some questions about
their majesties.
The answers gave the royal visitors
a great variety of names, including Gui-
zot III and Marie Antoinette. In most
cases pupils guessed right on London as
the home of George and Elizabeth, but
a few answers were wild, naming Brus-
sells, Berlin and Holland. The rarest
and most inspired answers were given to
the question What is England?" One
child said with more truth than he knew
"a town very important for the French" ;"
Would average American Youngsters
know any more about Canada? And do
grown-ups know as much about other
nations as they ought to?

CONQUEST

(Tulare Advance-Register)
The Hawaii Clipper will no longer
wing its way over more than one-third
of the earth's circumference, linking
California with China's coast, but the
new sky routes its sister ships pioneered
will remain.
These new caravan routes of the sky
spanning the Pacific are only in their
infancy.
The records held by the clippers in
this trans-oceanic service is one of the
best proofs we have that tomorrow will
bring even greater development on these
skyways. Till the hour when the Hawaii
Clipper sent out its last "AlPs well'
message, to vanish one minute later, the
fleet-winged ships had flown 100000
miles in regular scheduled operations
without a mishap!
The loss of the Hawaii Clipper and
her passengers and crew is a tragic mile
stone in the history of trans-Pacific
aviation but it is no epitaph Mans con-
quest of space has only begun.

News Behind
the News

WASHINGTON real RuSSO-
japanese war, if it should come,
will likely produce the most specta-
cular, effective aerial bombardment
and combat yet seen.
Toxic, as American army officers
see it would become the first capital
of a major power to suffer severe
aerial bombardment.
It Is less than TOO miles from
Russia's Vladivostok to Toxic. Ex-
perts who believe Toxic would be
a prompt object also envision suicide
squadron of japanese taking off
with loads of explosives ana flying
madly into Russian air fleets.
News of darkening of japanese
cities in the temporarily settled
border disput confirms the belief
that Toxic and other large centers
are vulnerable.
Diplomats and military men sup
posed that the Chungkufeng fight
ing would be kept localized, on the
theory that Japan wants no war
because of her Chinese involvement
and that Russia has too much TO
worry about in Europe. This was a
mere deduction. Aside from general
background, all. the state, war and
navy departments knew what was
they read in the neWspapers-mean-
ing the official versions from Toxic
and Moscow.
Several bizarre theories as to the
real reason" behind the outbreak
gained wide credence in Washington
But the best far eastern experts
were unwilling to go beyond sug-
gesting as possibilities:
l. That Russia has sought to diff
fuse Japanese military energy and
take heat off the Chinese. Chinese
resistance might suddenly collapse
as Ethiopian resistance to Italian
troops did-and Russia may have
been warned of such likelihood.
2. That Russia, believing the point
of maximum Japanese weakness
may have been reached, preferred
to strike before Japan could consoh-
date her position in China.
At any rate, Russian troops NOV
ed in previously unoccupied territory
cf great strategic value and Japan
ese fought to drive them off. The
Chungkufeng hills dominate Japan's
Tumen railroad, which runs far into
Manchukukuo from the important
new Korean port of RaShin. The
Rashin -Tumen route is Japan's
shortest for getting troops and sup
plies into Manchukuo.
Mention of the alleged treaty
with China on which Russia bases
claim to the disputed territory
brings skeptical grins from state
department officials, who never
heard of such a treaty. They have
MT a map bearing the name Chung
kufeng-and they have many eX
haustive maps. To japanese ques'
tioning existance Of the treaty, Rus
sia says: ASK the Chinese" Japan
warning on China, won't.
One of the less screWy sounding
theories circulated in Washington
saws Japan attacked Russia in
major engagement at behest o
Germany, as a prelude to a widel,
feared German invasion of Czecho
slovakia this month.
While renewed Berlin verbal blasts
against the Czechs might back VI
this theory, cagey diplomats here
say Japan wouldn't stick her necl
out just because Germany asked
her. But they say many japanese
militarists would take on both Rus
sia and China.

Famous Sayings

If the world is really interested
in ending the unrest of its peoples,
it will do some hard, serious think
ing about the job which the Intre-
national Refugee Conference is
tackling.
This conference faces the task OF
finding some sort of permanent
homes for the millions of people
who have been thrown out of their
European homelands. These people
have been disposed for all sorts
of reasons-racial, religious, eco
nomic and political-and their pres
ense as an undigestible lump in the
worlds body polite is like the pres
ence of a source of infection in the
human body: it must be removed
if the body is to regain good health.
Myron Taylor, the leading Ameri-
can delegate to the conference,
pointed out the other day that the
existence of these homeless millions
is a major factor contributing to
world unrest 1t is hard to see how
it could ever be anything else. You
cannot have a stable world, satisfied
to exist on its old basis, as long as
SO many people are completely up
rooted. In sheer self defense, the
world has got to find a place for
them.
SO far, so good. A place must be
found. But where?
Well, one of the things we Ameri-
cans will have to think about IS
the proposal that certain number
of the refugees be settled in the
United States. 1t has been pointed
out, for instance, that during the
next five years refugees will have
to be placed at the rate of half
million a year, and that America
and Great Britain might properly
agree to absorb half that number
annually, between them. That would
mean the annual settlement in this
country of 125000 foreigners.
Now the obiectlons to any such
! proposal are easy to anticipate. We

Anderson S Wa|kout
Is Distinct Shock
To Holy Cross
By the Associated Press,


WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. %
Holy Cross athletic officials, await
ing a bid to one of the post-season
bowl games, today expressed sur
prise over DR.. Eddie Anderson s
resignation, presumably in favor of
a sl2,500 football coaching contract
at the University Of Iowa.
DIR. Anderson notified me last
night by telephone that he wished
to resign" Athletic Director Thomas
j. McCabe said. He gave no reason
for the move, which comes as a
distinct shock to me. OF course I
had read accounts in the newspapers
during the past week about Ander-
sons rumored resignation, but felt
he would consult me before accept
ing such propositions as have been
carried in the press"
AS recently as Saturday night,
after Holy Cross ended one of its
most successful seasons by defeating
Boston College. McCabe had pre-
dicted that Anderson would accept a
long term $4,000 contract that was
being drawn up. He had been coach
ing on year-to-year basis since he
came to Holy Cross from De Paul
University of Chicago in 1888.
MY future football connections
will be announced by the college
where I am going" Anderson told
McCabe and newspapermen. Re-
ports from Iowa City were that
Anderson's aides. Jim Harris, line
coach. and Joe Sheeketski, backfeld
instructor, would accompany their
chief to Iowa.

and which was good for nearly so
yards. Andy Farkas, who caught
the pass yesterday, told me after
the game that he thought Erny
Pinckert, who was blocking for
him, was a Pirate and was trying
to evade him, whereas If he had
followed Erny's interference, he
might have gotten loose for an
other touchdown.
I knew, of course, that Tuffy
Leemans and Bo Molenda, as
sistant coach of the Giants, were
scouting the game from the
stands. This isn't calculated to
make them feel any too good, but
we still have a lot up our sleeves
for the Giants that we didn't
show yesterday. Baugh's passes
aren't anything new to them but
some of the plays we are going to
work on this week will be.
I'm not expecting any 1914
score next Sunday, because just as
we would have been satisfied with
what was beginning to look to be
a 80 decision yesterday so would
we be satisfied with a similar
scant margin over the Giants.
A championship counts no more
If you win 1t by 5Upoints than by
2. III be satisfied With either
margin. \

List Of 18Undefeated

Over Week End-Sun
Jose Is Leader
BY the Associated Press.

oy tIie ASSoCldtu EIcSS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-With the
season virtually over, 10 large and
small college football teams remain
OH the select list of the undefeated
and united today.
The largest array of perfect rec
ords in several years has remained
unchanged for two weeks as the
hardy survivors Of the long season
wound up their campaigns triumph
antly. Seven of them took part in
the festivities of the last week,
Thanksgiving day or Saturday, and
every one came out on top by a
comfortable margin.
-Four of the biggest of them are
due to play again this week as Notre
Dame tackles Southern California,
Oklahoma meets Washington State,
Tennessee faces Mississippi and
Texas Tech plays Centenary. Notre
Dame and Tennessee may find the
going very tough, but they're all
favored to stay on the right side.
San Jose State of California heads
the list with II victories and is the
high scorer of the group with a
310-point total. Duke is outstand-
ing defensively, banking its nine
opponents while scoring the COM
paratively low total of ia. Mans
field. Pa, Teachers also can boast
an uncrossed goal line with only
two points for the opposition.

Jersey Reds Bringing

To Heurith Tilt
Robin Will Be Magnet
Thursday When Local
Pro Season Opens

American League pro basket ball
returns to Washington after lapse
of 10 years, when the Heurich Brew
ers entertain the Jersey Reds to
open their home stand Thursday
at 8 pm. in the Heurich's gym at
Twenty-sixth and D streets NV.
The Reds yesterday turned on the
league leading Philadelphia Sphas,
who Saturday night had spoiled
Washington's debut and defeated
them, 1896. Outstanding in that
upset was Phil Rabin, individual
scorer for the past two years. who
accounted for 10 points. He led the
Reds to II straight points before
Philadelphia could stop him.
Rabin will be one of the out
standing attractions Thursday night
Basket ball fans also will have their
eyes on Mickey Schonfeld, Wash
ington player, who Saturday night
led both teams in scoring with five
field goals and three foul CONVEX
sions. He also contributed a good
floor and passing game.
Several features are planned tt
make Thursdays inaugural an ex-
ceptionally interesting one. A pre-
liminary tilt between Regal Cloth
iers and P. w. A. of Heurich's ANA
teur League is set for 8 o'clock. A
public address system has been in
stalled and band music will enter
tain the crowd between the three 15-
minute periods.
Hopeful of correcting flaws dis
closed in the Philadelphia game
the Brewers are working out this
evening and tomorrow before de-
parting for Kingston, N. Y, where
another league game is scheduled
before the opening here.

is well under way, the players
are warmed up and thinking
more about the game in general
than about any one man. Hence,
the insertion of a substitute Is
just one of the passing phases
of the contest.
I've also been asked by second
guessers-who I'm not criticizing,
because second-guessing is one of
the popular pastimes that makes
any sport the hobby that it is
about the wisdom of Baugh's pass
from our 5-yard line when we had
only a 80 lead. If it had been
intercepted, these critics point
out, the Pirates would have
gained the ball deep In our terri
tory and might have scored a
touchdown which might have
been fatal.
The answer to that is that the
kind of pass Baugh threw from
this spot, q short toss into the
fiat, is exceedingly hard to inter-
cept; in fact, it's almost impossi-
BILE for the enemy to get near the
ball. It's the kind of pass that
either is completed or is incom-
plete. Yet, it works more often
than not and is the identical
pass Sammy threw to Cliff Bat

mage In last years play-pn game
