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.

tative offer with the New York

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.
Both are members of Theta Chi,
and of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary
journalism fraternity.
Mr. Janes has been engaged in
newspaper work in Astoria and

LUNCHEON CHARGE TO
BE INCLUDED IN FEES
The Homecoming luncheon fee of
fifty cents will be paid as usual
along with the regular student body
fees at the business office. This
is in keepnig with the custom of
former years and is done at the
request of the committee in charge
of Homecomiiig.
This fee takes care of all the ex
penses incident to the Homecom
ing luncheon for both students and
visitors. In the past it was col
lectcil at the various living organi
zations hut this method became
practically impossible with the in
creasing size of the student body
and the simpler system of collect
ing it with the regular fees was
adopted.
