Turning to the question of labor

which had made our society weak"
That offensive, he added, Should

"New Technique"
He spoke of "a new technique" for
weakening a nation, the spreading of
discord and dsisension, by exploiting
sectional, racial or political pre-
JUDGES, through false slogans and
emotional appeals. By such tactics,
he said, foreign agents" cause
sound national policies to be regard

"As a result of these new techni-

dangerously delyaed,' he continued.
"Singleness of national purpose may
be undermined. Men can lose con-

FAR WEST TOPS
in TRACK MEETS

CHICAGO, May 26-CP-The col
lege outdoor track season once again
has emphasized an already we'll
known fact-that the Pacific coast
still is the most prolific breeding
ground of top-f1ight cinder perform
ers.
The boys on the west coast al
ways come up with a W~ell-rounded
crew of runners and jumpers, and
this season is no exception. A COM
p~arison of the best performances in
the Pacific Coast conference meet
held Saturday with other regional
meets throughout the country gives
the far west squad all the best of it.
In the only two major conference
meets Saturday, Southern California
nosed out Stanford for the Pacific
title, SIS to SO, and Michigan won its
fourth straight Big Ten crown with
81 points. A week ago the Big Six,
southeastern conference, southern
conference and eastern heptagonal
games were held, but the best marks

A study of the six meets reveals
that the Pacific coast conference
had the top performances in eight
events and tied for another. The
Big Ten had two top performances
and a tie for another, the southeast
ern two, and the eastern games and
Big Six, one each.

definitely toward another decisive

The immunity of the Rex from
contraband control has not yet

doomed to failure because of what
they termed their shoddiness and
