reason for the inability Of the Demo-
cratic nations to stand together against
dictators is that they are not democratic
Let US look at France. During the
entire period Of Hitler's annexati on Of
Austria (remember?) this great Democracy

time, France paralyzed and dumb; and
unlike Eng land, could not even "protest".
This would seem to indicate that at least
one Democracy is functioning imperfect1y,
and has such serious trouble at home that
1T cannot give any thought to trouble
abroad. There is reason for this.

are deadlocked in an endless struggle for
power. They represent every possible
shade Of religious, social and economic
opinion and interest. They have no COM
mon ground. They want no common ground.
They are not interested in Democracy;
they are too interested in thems elves.
This f1ve-way battle was finally
brought to an armed truce by Leon Blum in
the summary Of 1886 with the formatio on Of
the now famous Popular Front government.
This form Of government, misca11ed Demo-
crazy, has endured for two years. It's
hectic career suggests runaway chariot
OF unbroken horses. One never knows what
may happen next, except that something's
going to bust. N. Blum, one Of the
worlds ablest statesmen, has been pulled
under the wheels more than once.
No matter what policy he sets forth
one group of extremi SITS is bound to dis
agree; when those both ends disagree

Extensively and defensively st.
Johns fast stepping, spirited
basketball team is far superior to
the aggregation from Tech High,
at whose expenses last night at
the Vermont Avenue gym the
Johnnies stretched their seasons
streak of victories to three. The
score was 26 to IL.
Ard the score proclaims elo-
quently the Cadets class. Their
attack with Joey Gallagher as
the spearhead swept through the
Manual Trainers defense like a
hurricane, joey registering ten
points himself, including four
field goals.
The Techites' rallies were
smothered long before they were
well underway until after the
Johnnies had placed the decision
in the refrigerator. The Manual
Trainers had only four points to
show for their first half work to
the Cadets 16.
The st. Johns JayveeS made it

HOPES FOR GRID.
TILT IN '39 RISE.
Rx FRANK "BuCK" O,NEILL

With alumni of George Wash
ington University and Georgetown
University Fundamentally in &C
cord, a football game between the
two institutions looms for Thanks
giving Day of 1889. This was
learned today from sources be-
lieved to be thoroughly reliable.
Both Georgetown and George
Washington have filled their
schedules for 1888.
The game will inaugurate a
series, and in time will become the
traditional game of the Capital.
Arranging such a series with the
Buff and Blue would make George
towns position in Middle Atlantic
football circles far stronger than
it is at present. The Hoyas al
ready have a colorful game of
strong local appeal with Univer-
Sity of Maryland.
PROMOTE IDEA
Following a series of informal
meetings held during December by
members of all local colleges,
Georgetown and George Washing
ton men began working in unison
to bring faculty and student body
of the schools together in thought.
Many obstacles were encountered,
the writer learned today, but they
were not serious obstacles.
A frank discussion of facts in
the case brought about willing
ness to cooperate, and before many
days elapSe, it is said, representa-
tiveS Of the two schools will meet
in friendly exchange of ideas.
FAVORABLE TALK
Shortly after the Georgetown
Maryland game the writer an.
nounced in The Washington Times
exclusively that Gabe Murphy, of
Georgetown, had discussed the pos.
sibility Of a game with repreSen'
tativeS of George Washington
University. The talk vas most in.
formal, but entirely favorable to
the proposition.
Men in high stations in both
Georgetown and George Washing.
ton were reluctant to commit
themselves when the proposition
first was submitted, but there were
certain facts that could not be
ignored.
If you wish to be sordid in your
commercialism, the first con.
Sideration was money.
The gross receipts of the
Georgetown-Maryland game were
approximately $4,000, give or
take a few grand.
That represented a very nice
score for the contending colleges
Any time you show a graduate
manager a check for something
like $4,000 you are apt to get a
favorable response.

This almost unbelievable bit of
news comes to us today from
Ford Frick, prexy of the National
League, with these choice bits
appended:
/. That the club is being re-
financed on a broad scale.
2. That it probably will not be
sold within the next year, if ever.
3. That a new business manager
probably would be named this
week.
4. That the new appointe e
would be given three-year con-
tract and an absolutely free hand.
SOME JOB, MISTER!
And that he would be expected
to enlarge the farm system, de-
velop new talent, and build the
Dodgers into contending posi-
ton, although not necessarily a
pennant winner in that time.
Frick said he did not know who
would get the job as business man
ager although he did admit that
the directors consulted him only
yesterday on the merits of Larry
MacPhail and that he had assured
them MacPhail would fill the bill.
1.-THE Dodgers" said F'rick to-
day, twill show a united front
this season. The directors have
agreed that when they name a
new business manager he will
not have to take orders from
anybody. He will be a virtual
dictator in the management of
the clubs affairs.
when I tell you that the club
is being refinanced, I do not
mean to infer that anybody is
buying into the club. The fresh
capital undoubtedly will come
from enlarged bank loans.
