HISTORIAN TELLS ORITAIN'SVIOES Donald Barnes Describes Political Status Existing, In European (Countries! MacDonald Declared Ablest Foreign Minister Since Days of (Lord Salisbury “Political conditions in England are at present very similar to a game of ‘give-away’ in checkers. It is a question of which side will col lapse first,” said Dr. Donald Barnes, professor of history at the Univer sity of Oregon, a recent visitor in Europe, in an interview today. Conditions in England Told “General conditions in England are ver.v bad,” he continued, “and Stanley Baldwin is using every means possible to put off the in evitable day when his ministry must collapse. Employment condi tions are steadily growing worse and a serious coal strike temporarily postponed, but doles and subsidies are being used as temporary means of relief.” Financial aid, both to the unem ployed in, the form of doles and to industries as subsidies, are tremen dous strains on the treasury, accord ing to Dr. Barnes, yet the govern ment does not alter its policies probably because of fear of greater trouble if such support is removed. Prime Minister Baldwin, through his fine personality, commands the respect of the population, but he is not a great statesman, said Dr. Barnes. His support is due to a blind pathetic faith, and a dislike of the Labor Party which may maintain him in office for some time. Baldwin Respected “There is great potential strength among the radicals, but the vote ivhich put Baldwin into office less than a year ago showed that the people do not favor a "Labor govern ment. The present prime minister’s support in that election was one of the three biggest majorities given a party since the reforth bill of 1832. It will not be an easy mat ter to overtliroiy the Conservative government with its tremendous ma jority and the prevalent suspicion, of the Labor party. Ramsay MacDonald, former pre mier, is still in the public eye, ac cording to Professor Barnes. Ex-Premier Praised # “He is an able man,” he said, “but he has his weak points. He has the spirit of the martyr) ■ much as Upton Sinclair in this country. He feels that all are turned against him. Although not a great success as Prime Minister, he is declared by government under-officials to have been the ablest foreign minister that England has had since the days of Salisbury, 25 years ago. Many of te Laborites think Mac Donald is not radical enough, and the party is divided in allegiance. The other outstanding man in the party, Philip Snowden, is in some respects superior to MacDonald, but is not so able a Parliamentary tac tician.” Great Britain’s foreign trade is yet far from normal, Barnes point ed out. “England can’t recover until the rest 8f the world is able to take her products,” he said. “Russia and Germany are giving her very little business and the United States markets have been lessened by the tariff, although not as much as the men who made the tariff hoped.” Things Better on Continent On the contrary, economic con ditions are more stable in France and Belgium, according to Barnes. The people of Belgium, he said, got to work immediately after the war, and are now in better eco- | nomie circumstances. The combina tion of half peasantry and half in dustrial workers in the population of Belgium and France gives these countries an advantage over the more highly industrialized Great Britain. The moderate size of the largest industries is regarded under present conditions in Europe, as a happy factor by Dr. Barnes. Dr. Barnes, accompanied by Mrs. Barnes, spent 10 weeks visiting in England. France, and Belgium dur ing the summer vacation period. CADET CORPS TO HAVE NEW DRILLS THIS TERM “A distinct innovation will be made this year in the drilling of the squads in the Reserve Officers ’ Training Corps,” said Capt. Frank L. Culin yesterday. “For the first time since the establishment of the R. O. T. C. at Oregon, instruction in extended order and combat forma tion will be given. This drill will begin next week, as we -want to take advantage of the good weather left.” One reason why these new drills are being introduced, according to Captain Culin, is that during the in spection for distinguished rating which w'ill take place during the middle of the spring term, a great deal of attention will be paid to these two drills. They will continue for five weeks. Faculty Man Ex-Athlete; Dr. Rainey Tells Of His Early College Experience (Continued from page one) tice I had when boy of throwing a yarn ball made from old stock ings, against a stone chimney. I always aimed at a large plate of rock in the center, but when I really missed the chimney, I had to chase my ball out in the field or crawl under the house after it.” “But, the profession is very short” he added in explanation of his change of work. “I like the game very much, but it .calls for the best years of a man’s life, from twenty to thirty-five, and leaves him unprepared for anything else. I was interested in college work, so I returned to Austin College in Sherman, Texas, to take {graduate work and teach for two years, and then to the University of jChicago, where I earned my doctor’s degree in 1924.” Dr. Rainey has been with the University of Oregon since that time. WOODWARD AND JANES ON WAY TO NEW YORK Donald Woodward and Theodore Janes passed through Eugene and visited at the University yesterday 1 on their way to New York, where they expect to be for the next year.

Mr. Janes, associate editor of the Emerald two years ago, also j hopes to take up newspaper work ] in that city. They are motoring east, taking the southern route, by way of Kan sas City, Washington D. C., and | then north to New York.
