o ORIENTAL TOURNAMENT

The future Of the Oriental-Ameri-
can Basketball Tournament, which
this year was to have been held in
San Francisco after two years In
Seattle. is now very much up in
the air.. following word from San
Francisco that they will be unable
to proceed further with tournament
plans.
Officials of the NVC and Cathay
Post, originators and co-sponsors
of the big tournament. are admit
teddy puzzled by the announcement,
since it was clearly understood that
the 1949 tournament would be held
in San Francisco. and 1t was known
that the Bay City people were work.
ing on the project. Apparently, the
inability to obtain the use of the
Kezar floor had something TO do
with the NAU's decision to abandon
the tournament, but whether that's
the whole story or not. local Off
Gals don't know.
Inquiries are now under way to
find out whether the NAU announ-
cement is the final word. or whether
the way is still open for the tourney
to be held in the Bay City. If plans
for holding the tournament in Calf

row, it can again be held in Seattle.
Although the public may not real

quire a tremendous amount of work
before, during, and after. Costs
and guarantees have a habit of in
creasing each year, and receipts do
not increase in proportion. The
1913 tournament met" was a great
deal smaller than 1947's, and it is
possible that, if 1949 tourney were
held in Seattle, it might even fail
to break even. This, of course. might

PAGE TWO

Most all of us in America have
voiced our criticism of politics and
political parties from time to time
This time I'm doing it. That is some
thing we can do in America without
getting thrown in jail or shot at
If we don't like this or that, we can
say so in public. If we feel that no
existing political party fills the bill,
we can even start new one. pro
vided, of course, that we do not ad-
vocate overthrow of the government
by force, as do the Communists)
Politics has been called a great
game" It is that, and more Some
people do play the great game of
politics for what they can get out
of it. Too many But there are many
great public men who are statesmen
and servants all the way through,
and who are in politics because they
find it an avenue of service to the
whole nation. These men know that
politics is still the science of gov
eminent" and they believe good
government is one of the crying
needs of our time.
Less Government
I do not say that more" govern
ment is needed. We need better
government, but less of it. In fact,
one of the earmarks of better gov
eminent is lack of government. The
best governed is indeed the least
governed. Strangely enough, the
trend is toward more and more gov
eminent. The question of the day IS
whether Uncle Sam is going to do
everything for us eventually or
whether We are to remain RESPONSE
BILE citizens with firm hand on
the reigns of government.
There's a huge difference in the
two. A distinctive feature of the
American way of life has always
been that the government was a
citizen responsibility. This nation
was formed as Republic, and the
representatives of the people did the
governing by consent" of the gov
erned Politics, therefore, was our
own making, and it carried res
possibility with it always. 1t was
the finest kind Of peoples govern
ment. In no sense were citizens slaves
of the state.
Copying The Socialists
In carrying out the functions of
government, there were from the
very start disagreements and clash
es of opinion. It developed, then,
that almost throughout our history
as a nation. two major parties shaped
our political thought by going to
the people for support when issues
arose. Usually the issues were clear

see If you are one of those per-
sons who fights everything good.
Yes, all of these good and con-
struetive ach, vementS made by
others, for examples, why fight
with your neighbor because the
lady in the family owns a fur
coat and you a cloth coat; they
might own an automobile or a
house furnished with the latest
furniture, 1 can't with this small
and insignificant mind fathom
why we hate and begrudge our
brothers and sisters of their
houses, jobs, and luxuries, when
we all have had practically Sthe
same chance, and all the time
it isn't just luck as so many
would have you believe. Per-
SonalIy, I believe ninety per cent
of our great men and women
planned for their future and
made great sacrifices, even with
their health to attain what sue
cess in life they now enjoy. I
have seen girls and boys work

Judge G. Bruce Robinson
First, let's give fifteen 'rahs'
to DR.. James R. Lesueur, chair
man Of the dinner. I don't
think there will ever be more
obstacles thrown from every di-
rection, and this wonderful and
sincere gentleman, he always
had a smile, and a slap on the
back for the low in spirit. He
also made great sacrifice, al
most completely closing his Of
flee. Dr., may the Project Re-
porter and all the Villagers sing
your praise and may we say a
job well done.-God Bless You.
Fifteen 'rahs' to my good
friend Stephen A. Douglas,
chairman of all the committees.
I can't realize how one man
could do so many different
things in the short length of
time that was given for this din
ner, compared with others when
they had three to four months
to work. We only hope he can
return to his family, If they will
accept him, because he prac-
ticslly deserted them so as to
make this dinner the wonderful
success it deserved. We who
worked with Steve know just
how much he meant to all of
us. So Steve, we are going to
send you to Florida to recuper-
ate. You deserve it. Your honor,
Judge Robinson, was in your
corner all the way.

long winter months, some with

some OF the rain out, some with
out a balanced meal, therefore
forcing them to work nights in
restaurants so as to cut down
on their living expenses. They
must cut out practically all Of
their social life where an ex-
pense is involved and the latest

never think about. My friends,
they have come up the hard way.
I am wondering if you have tried
Just as hard to make a success
in life. You have had the same
opportunities and if you let them
fly out the window why blame
the other fellow. In this highly
developed competitive mechani-
cal age you and only you are the
master of your fate. Those
people deserve a beautiful home
and all the other conveniences
which would make their lives
complete and happy. In fact,
they deserve two houses if they
could afford it. Don't waste your
life sitting around begrudging
the other fellow, get out and do
something because success isn't
coming to you. 7 like to see a
colored man reach the top in
his profession and will do every
thing to PUSH HIM.
POLITICS
There is something good about
politics when two outstanding
men of their political parties,
DR.. Silas "Shag" Taylor and
Atty. John w. Schenck, worked
side by side faithfully and stead
tasty for the successful testi-
monial dinner in honor of Judge
G. Bruce Robinson at the Copley
Plaza Ball Room last Monday
evening. DR.. Taylor, I mean
"Shag," worked just as hard as
he is going to work for the re-
election of his good friend Mayor
James M. Curley. I asked
''Shag" if he was trying to win
over some of those good Re-
publicanS and this was his an
Swer. Il am doing everything
humanity possible to push this
Judge Robinson who has carried
himself in such a respectable
manner and is loved by both
parties because he has been APP
pointed by both parties to major
jobs. He is now on the first
rung of the ladder, as it was with
the first Jewish and italian
judges. With the help of both
parties, we can in the near fut-
ure look for a full time judge"
It could be Judge Robinson, says
Atty. Schenck. Yes, my friends,
when we as men and women can
work SO hard and yet keep our
political identity = that testi-
monial was the greatest thing to
happen in Boston. We know
there is a job to be done, we
can call on men and women of
both parties - yes again l will
say there are some good things
about politics.

De Castro Returns
Council Bill No. 81:
D~isupproves Wording

Acting Governor Morris F.
de Castro has returned to St.
Croix Municipal Council, with
out his approval, Bill No. 81
passed on October II, prescrib-
ing punishment for disobedi-
ence to subpoenas issued pur-
suant to legislative authority.
Mr.. de Castro stated that he
is in favor of the principle of
providing sanctions for dis
obedience to subpoenas law
fully issued pursuant to legis-
lative authority, but that the
language Of Bill 81 is defective
and requires considerable cla-
rification.
