Fifth Column on the Leduer?

We generally like to think that the United States bought
Itself out of foreign ownership of its industries during the
World war
BY and large that is true Much of the railroad plant
Oh TINS country and many other industrial ventures
made possible by foreign capital When the World
broke there heavy ownership in Europe of all sections
OF American industry European countries generally sold
those interests to buy supplies with the proceeds The
United States bought itself back"
But not entirely And during the unsettled conditions
OF Europe during the 10 years much European capital
came back to the United States for safey's sake.
This is nothing to get excited about and know of
no major and vital industry that today foregncontroed
Ihere is no to suspect undue foreign influences
within the boards of directors of any important corporation
But the foreign stake in many great American corpora
tons is interesting, and in may real
complications. John Lloyd, writing in the Magazine of
Wall Street has listed of them According to Lloyd,
American Telephone reports 462000 shares held abroad
and T. s. Steel 503 1876 More than 100000 shares of Steel
Lloyd reports held in Holland and the largest single
stakeholder of Southern Pacific is Amsterdam firm.
Swiss corporation is first the list of B. o. stock
holders third on Pennsylvania.
None of these holdings, Lloyd estimates, approaches
control any certainty of the right drec
tor. But he foresees possible complications it, in the ere
organization of Europe being brought about by the
Naz holdings of Dutch Swiss French and Belgian holders
might be brought together,
German firms still hold indirect connections with
chemical and dye industries, legacy of the World
substantial block of popular arpane stock is held in
Holland.
In the present European confusion no one knows pre-
csey what is the status of such holdings Many foreign
credits have been frozen because there guarantee that
paid they would be to reach their rgftfu owners
These foreign interests nothing TO be concerned
about and there is the slightest believe that
they have had any influence the policies of Amer
lean firms.
But it is good to know that the situation is being
watched, and that American directors conscious of
situation that might at future time breed COM

Who's Teaching Who What?

Not long ago several students at the University of
Michigan received notice that you cannot be readmed
President Alexander g. Ruhven asserted that only such
students wanted convinced that democracy is
the ideal form of government for civilized people, There
will be Fifth Coumnng at Michigan. he assured hearers
and added that while "honest discussion is valuable
method of education it to be clearly distinguished
from propaganda"
only valuable but perhaps the only method of edu
cation
The University of Wisconsin would to be one of
them. Faced with a similar problem of radical-mnded
students the Wisconsin board of regents answered Gov
Heil's inquiry:
Those students who are impressed with other forms
of may well to their advantage and to that of
the nation be exposedto the program of American edu
cation conducted al the university"
Who's educating who?
Are the colleges educate the students, teach them
Amerieanism? Or they restrict the student body
to those already convinced thus nstuting four-year
session of shadow-boxing?

WEDNESDAY. hUcg1T I

Adverse planetary aspects
rule today when there may be
uncertainty and apprehension
among Americans who realize
that they must go through
period of economic readjust-
ment. There is a sign presaging
transition which affects the
whole world.
Heart and Home: Households
may be disturbed by eventual
tiles that threaten the old order
of things. Young men will be-
come engrossed in mass training
in many lines OF activity. Girls
will find employment in techni-
cal vocations. Thrift should be
practiced but sane amusements
should be sought. Travel and
recreation are recommended as
wise in view of what the winter
holds in store.
Business Affairs: Although
commerce will continue TO be
hazardous there will be con-
tinued business activity. Trade
with neighboring countries viii
increase. despite subversive
agents who seek to cause
trouble. New inventions will add
TO human comfort. Novelties IN
fabrics will prove of great help
in clothing multitudes. Extreme
heat in certain parts of the
United States will PROSTATE
workers.
National Issues: Democracy
viii take on special value to the
American people as war blots
out thousands OF men who were
the potential workers and even
the coming geniuses of the
world. Ideals now should be
emphasized as young men are
trained for national defense.
International Affairs: Turkey
comes under sway which is
read as indicating diplomatic
tension that affects internal
conditions. One Of the leading
statesmen VIII pass away. De
struction Of Europe's hallowed
places viii cause growing re-
sentiment against all the powers
engaged In blotting out what is
best in the conqnering of weaker
nations. The month as ii ad-
vances viii bring little comfort
to the neutral peoples.

He has been a bitter critic of
President Roosevelt, but it is
doubtful whether he can bring
himself to support Wendell Will
kie. The fact is that he occu-
pies about the same status as
John L. Lewis. No major party
wants his support; they figure
that ne is a liability rather than
an asset. Radio stations solicit
ed by the fathers advertising
manager have sent back word
that they do not want to carry
the Detroit PADRES broadcasts.
This may be an indiscreet an
nouncement, but the fact is that
the Roman Catholic hierarchy
favors Willkie as against Presi-
dent Roosevelt's yen for third
term. Several higher-ups in the
church have declared publicly
against n violation of the two
term tradition. Others. more dis
Greet, have let their flocks know
that they prefer Willkie to
Roosevelt.
The assertions of big name
Democrats to Wendell Willkie
may not mean a thing in terms
of votes. Ilustrious Democrats
like Al Smith. Vance Mccormick
and George Moore will probably
influence no large group of
voters. They have been congeni-
tai soreheads for years.
But there is movement afoot,
quiet and private. which may
cost FDR thousands and millions
of votes. That is the detection of
democratic mayors and county
and state officials throughout
the country. They are not boiling
the democratic ticket. but they
are proclaiming that they cannot
campaign for a man seeking to
strike down the tradition against
a third term.
The attitude of these local
officials is extremely important.
Had they swung behind FDR, il
would have meant that their To-
cal machines would have taken
off their shirts on behalf of the
president. But in announcing
their revolt. they served notice
on the city hall and courthouse
and state house gang Of Demo-
Gratis that they could work for
Willkie without inviting VEN
geance. And Il mayors assum-
ing a mild pro-Willxie attitude
are more important than the
publicized OBJECTIONS of former
Democratic national chairmen
Mccormick. Shaver. Moore.
Raskoh) and former Democratic
presidential candidates Davis.
Smith.

Editor, The Times: The time

could then see the day COM
ing when we would approach
the same conditions here in
America unless we the people
now oppose the conscript law
and demand a law repeating the
three-year enlistment and make
it one year. with $50 per month.
In that event the boys would be
more than glad to give a year
to the country. They might
even save enough of the $50 per
month so they could take year
at college.
As ! see it. this is a move to
make our present democracy
safe for the capitalists and big
industrialists. Why do not our
senators in congress make a
fight against such a compulsory
law? II. G. NELSON.

We Do Some Knocking
Around
Game Started Here by
Scots Is Real Workout
Alexander Baillie Reminds
OF First Golf Shipment
IF there are still any who think
L that golf IS 4 game exclusively
for retired business executives
and short-winded old gentlemen
generally, they are as badly mis-
taken as some Of the political
forecasters are going to be IN
the cold gray dawn Of Novem-
Der 3.
Golf is any mans game II ne
can take It. Putting the ball
into IS holes over a course that
runs up and down hill is real
workout: it's even something Of
a workout when the IS holes are
distributed over a fairly level
area.
These conclusions are reached
after spending the greater part
of two-week's vacation on
Sam Aliens golf course. Haven't
had so much real vacation en-
joyment in years. The scores
are nothing to pass on TO the
grandchildren. but II was a lot
of fun, and the fresh air and
exercise and the exhiliration
over an occasional good shot
combined to effect a most salts
factory rehabilitation mentally
and physically. Try it sometime.
And speaking of golf, Alex
ander Baltic reminds me that
Il was little group Of Scots on
the Balfour & Guthrie staff in
Tacoma who brought the game
to the west. The first golf
equipment - $50 clubs = was
brought to Tacoma from ST.
Andrews on one of the Balfour
a. Guthrie ships a. years ago.
The shipment proved big prob
lem to the customs inspectors.
They puzzled for some time over
how to classify IL for entry.
The clubs finally were classified
as agricultural implements and
were entered as such. The way
some of the folks dig up the
turf might he justification for
calling a golf club an agricul-
tural implement today.
The first golf club was organ
lied by the Balfour e. Guthrie
boys ~ years ago. They played
on the prairie between South
Tacoma and the old Rigney
home. The club used the land

realize ii requires more than the
want of something to do to en-
courage a writer to write such
letters. 1t requires an urge to
better our conditions. II takes
patriotism of the highest type
and unswearving self-sacrifiee.
Cowardice is not to be consider
ed.
II takes plenty of stamina for
an editor to write and print
editorials such as those appear
ing in The Times recently. As
a general rule. press editorials
appear to be nothing but mis-
leading twaddle.
While the writer often disa-
grees with the policy of The
Times. he is forced to admire
the fcarlessness of its editori-
ais and the liberality with which
ii publishes letters from readers
and correspondents with such
different points of view.
A free exchange of ideas is
the safeguard of our American
independent system of govern
ment. Now that the world has
gone crazy with war hysteria,
the virus of injustice and pre-
JUDGE is impregnating our lives.
The social hangman is trying to
strange free thought and
speech and work the destruc-
ton of civil liberties here as well
as elsewhere in the world.
II is imperative that we have
free exchange OF thought and
editors to print various ideas.
These are necessary If civiliza-
ton is to survive. So guard
them well.

on a temporary easement and
the owners reserved the right
10 sell any part Of the property.
IL was not unusual for the golf
ers 70 20 out and discover that
since the last game somebody
had fenced in one of the greens
or a load Of lumber for a house
had been dumped on one Of the
fairways. That didn't bother
those pioneer golfers-they just
moved the holes,
The next year. at a meeting
in Mr.. Baillie's office. an organi-
zation was effected that became
the Tacoma Golf and Country
club.
All this was before the auto
mobile, and most of the golfers
rode to the course on their BIZ
cycles. The game was given an
impetus by the bicycle riders
who wanted something to do
after they had pedaled across
the prairie.
The old golf picture would
not be complete without some
reference to Sam Eisenberg and
wife. who served lunches for the
golfers. They were given the
use of one of the club cabins
for that purpose.
The lunch. laid out on a long
table, buffet style, usually con-
sisted Of beans. cold meat, bread
and coffee. The golfers helped
themselves TO a full meal for Is
cents. When the Eisenbergs
complained that they were los
ing money because the golfers
were always so hungry, the club
trustees authorized them TO
raise the price to 25 cents. That
was quite a boost, and for a
ii me some of the golfers brought
their own lunches tied to the
bicycle handlebar, but they fl
mAlly came to IL.
There is lot more to this
golf game than just knocking
bah around. It takes precision.
a good eye, a good mind and
muscular coordination. And on
the golf course you'll find some
mighty friendly people.
Though it can be plenty
strenuous. golf is good for just
a Init of relaxation in the fresh
air, Nine holes played leisurely
with congenial companionship is
a wonderful pickup. It's good
for the women, too.
And contrary to the general
belief golf doesn't have to be ex-
pensive. If it were. some other
vac alton experience would have
been related in this column.
