Tor to those among Chinese crews
on British ships.
So after the last war, the Ameri-
can flag, despite the greatest ship
ping tonnage in the worlds history,
gradually disappeared from the
seven seas.
But now the British have taken a
step which may mean more equal
lied wage competition after the
war. They have agreed to pay Chi
nese seamen the same scale as
British.
The British did not make this de-
cision easily. Obviously they recog-
nized the ramifications it would
have on the Empire after the war
Sir Arthur Salter negotiated regard
ing the matter for weeks. Lord
Leathers, head of the British Min
istry of War Transport, made a
special trip to this country. In the
end, Prime Minister Churchill him
self sat in on the discussions.
Finally, the increased wage was
agreed to not because of Madame
Chang Kai-shek and her two sty-
mied Liberty ships, but because of
heavy Chinese assertions from Brit
ish ships in American harbors.
After the war, of course, the Brit
ish can reduce wages. Also they
are still below the American scale.
However, economists inside the Gov
eminent feel that an important step
has been taken toward equalization
OF American British competition
after the war.

BRITAIN BACKS DOWN

IT was not generally known, but
when Madame Chang kal-shek
was in the U. S. A. it was planned
to present her with gift OF TWO
Liberty ships which she was 10
christen. Then suddenly the gift
was mysteriously held up.
Now, several months later, 1t has
been decided to present China with
the two Liberty ships. Behind TINS
is one of the most important econo-
mic decisions made by the British
Empire since the war began-the
decision to pay Chinese seamen the
same wages as British.
Inside reason why the two Liberty
VESSELS were withheld from Madame
Chang was because the Chinese
proposed paying British-scale wages
to the crews on these ships. TINS
would have meant agitation by H.
600 Chinese seamon on BRUSH
ships throughout the world.
For a time this developed into an
embarrassing, almost ugly argu-
ment. The Chinese Government
felt that it had right to pay It's
seamen any wages it wished on the
two new Liberty ships we were CIV
ing Madame Chang. But the Brit
ish, supported by the War Shipping
Administration, opposed.
The argument got down to the
very roots of empire dominance:
down to Britannia's rule over the
seven seas. For what most people
don't realize is that hundreds Of
British ships are manned by low
paid Chinese sailors.
In peacetimes, Chinese seamen
sail on every British merchant ship
on the Pacific. Thousands of them
ply up and down the Yangtze River,
along the China coast, among the
South Sea Islands-all under Brit
ish captains and the British flag
In wartime, their number has been
perhaps greater, due to the terrific
casualties among British seamen.

ADAMS TO ASK
FOR EXTRA Time
IF Railway 0. K.
All Track Profits Would Go
to Charity Ii Extension
Is Granted

Boston, June 18.-CUP)-PreSi-
dent Charles F. Adams was expect
ed to announce today that Suffolk
Downs horse race track would seek
to extend its racing schedule three
weeks beyond the planned closing
date of July II to accommodate
horSemen who normally would move
Rockingham Park at Salem, N. H
Sources close to officials of the
New Hampshire tracks said that
lack of gasoline for pleasure driving
combined with Gust in existing
transportation lines would make it
virtually impossible for Rocking
ham to open.
Because of such reports, horsemen
petitioned Adams to keep his track
open the three weeks Rockingham
normally would operate. The pc
tition read:
The undersigned horsemen re-
specially petition you for an extern
sion of three weeks of the present
Suffolk Downs meeting for the fol-
lowing reasons
Serious Loss?
with the limited available trans
portation facilities to Rockingham
Park and the present high cost of
labor to the horsemen, it seems i'm
possible that Rockingham Park can
guarantee purses sufficient to sup
port our racing stables without the
serious loss either to the track or
to us.
Due to the gasoline situation, it
would seem Impossible to travel. I'm
der such conditions and for the best
interests or racing, we trust you will
understand our petition
Adams, after receiving the petit
ton, said his decision to apply to
the state racing commission for
extra dates would be based on
whether the Boston Elevated Rail-
way could carry customers to Suf-
folk Downs during the extra three
weeks or whether such procedure
would interfere with vacation
schedules. He said if he operated
the track all profits would go to
charity.

New York, June 10 - U.Po -
Chief Specialist j. Gregory Rice OF
the U. S. Maritime Service is our
choice to beat Gunder Hagg, Swed-
ems phantom fireman" in their
big international foot race at Tri-
borough Stadium Sunday.
We like Rice in this 5,000-meter
grind (three miles, 1873 YARDS be-
cause little Greg, the former Notre
Dame star, has proved himself one
of the greatest competitors in
American athletic history. He enters
this feature event of the National
A. A. U. track and field champion
ships boasting string of IS
straight victories. Until We see Hagg
or some other runner beat him, We'll
not believe it can be done, regard
less of existing world record clock
ings.
No Great Starts
The percentage is against foreign
track stars or fighters making a
successful American debut in top
flight competition, despite brilliant
performances abroad. Initial fail
ures were registered by such invad-
ing track performers as Hannes Ko-
lehmainen, Joseph Guillemot, HUI
bert Houben, Mikklas Szabo, Sydney
Wooderson, Taisto Maxi and the
two Swedish runners, Edwin Wide
and Erik Ny However, there were
such notable exceptions as Paavo
Nurmi, David Lord Burghley.
Charley Hoff. DR.. Otto Peltzer, Luigi
Beccali and j. E. Lovelock.
Hagg is one of the most widely
publicized athletes to visit these
shores and with good reason. He
holds seven world records - from
1900 meters to 5000 meters. His
time performances are amazing
But, speaking of stop watches, no
one knows for certain just how fast
Greg Rice can run, because we can't
recall that he's ever been pressed.
Hagg has run the 5000 meters in
less than IA minutes, feat which
Paavo Nurmi once declared impos-
sible Galloping Gunder has regis
tered 1882 against Rice's best s.
OO0-meter time of 14:334. Rice has
run the 5000 five times, almost in
variably in terrific heat. If Sunday
is a hot day, we wonder if Hagg
can maintain the pace that he set
in cooler Sweden last year.
Floating Power
On running form, Hagg, too,
seems to have the advantage. He is
a slender, willoWy blond who glides
effortlessly over the track - a
feather-footed chap who seems to
have floating power. But stocky,
balrell-chested Rice pounds the
track as he runs, and his stride is
foot short of Gunder's seven-foot
track-eater. Moreover, the Flying
Swede is "a years old against Rice's
%.
Hagg is experimental moody,
impulsive chap. He has shown that
during his training at Dartmouth

ocean voyage on rolling tanker.
We have seen many temperamental
athletes fold up when the going got
rough. There's nothing tempera-
mental about Americas mighty
