American Total Private
Investment Abroad Is
Twelve Billion Dollars
By WILLIAM P. MADDOX
American investments in foreign
countries mount higher and higher.
It is announced by the chief of the
Finance and Investment Division of
the Department of Commerce that
tHo offerings of foreign securities in
October totalling $265,009,000 ex
ceeded those of any previous month,
with the single exception of Octo
ber, 101(1, when Croat Britain-was
besieging us for money to carry on
the war.
Moreover, the investments for the
first ten months of this year are
valued at $1,018,700,000 which al
ready surpass the entire flotations
of 1926. The war accustomed us to
speak of billions of dollars with as
much ease as formerly of the thou
sands and it seems no longer excit
ing to sec the numerals sprawling
across the page. But the fact is
more significant than the bare fig
ures would indicate.
Our total private investments
abroad already reach twelve bil
lions and the march of the dollar
around thy world continues with
unabated speed. Senators may
mumble and grumble about inde
pendence and isolation and all sorts
of foolish forgotten things, but the
facts, if they will but examine them,
will tell how ridiculous the idea of
none-entanglements in world affairs
really is. «
In 1939, the British government
by virtue of an extensive survey
known as the Montagu-Chelmsford
report, made considerable alterations
in the government of India by which
a system known as a “diarchy” was
created. This means that most mat
ters of purely local concern are un
der the supervision of the local In
dian parliament and provincial leg
islatures and the balance, especially
control of finance, defense and for
oign affairs, remain with the Brit
ish authorities.
This guarantee of partial self
government satisfied most of the na
tive demands for the time being but
there have been various agitations
since which indicate that all* dis
content was not removed. For the
present there is a lull in India, but
London thinks that this is as good
a time as any to prepare for greater
concessions. So a distinguished com
mission has been appointed, all Eng
lishmen, by the Baldwin government
to study the situation and recom
mend what further self-goverliment
might be safely granted.
The problem will be difficult be
cause the bitter religious antagon
isms between the vast majority of
Hindus and the minority Mohamme
dans cause the latter to fear that
full control in the hands of the for
mer may work injustices.
Before the war, V lenna, was the
gayest city in central Europe. It
• was also the capital of a large and
powerful state, the meeting place
for statesmen and diplomats, the
starting point of many a political
rumor of high importance, a city of
the first rank socially and political
ly.
The war came and in its aftermath
the destruction of a once splendid
empire and the reducing of its cap
ital to virtual insignificance-- The
Viennese are a proud people. They
are not ready to pass out of the
political picture and yet the small
Austrian republic is obviously hard
ly a second-rate power. But there
is an alternative. The League of
Xations is becoming the center of
the world’s activities and its trans
fer from Geneva to Vienna is be
ing seriously requested by the Aus
trians and the movement is grow
ing. France might not be so op
posed. It would kill forever the
demand of Austria to join Germany.
Move Made To 'Stop
Threats on McMullin
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.—Action
to stop and punish alleged attempts
to intimidate William J. McMullin,
chief government witness in the oil
jury tampering investigation was
considered by government lawyers
today as they prepared to finish
their grand jury case resulting from
the Teapot Dome mistrial.
United States Attorney Peyton
Gordon disclosed the effort to “dis
credit” McMullin who served as a
government spy among Burns de
tectives shadowing the oil jurors.
McMullin had complained by tele
phone from Philadelphia that “they
’re after me through my relatives
and neighbors.”

the gilded characters
a well decorated
on the second night
of the production, was just ns deli
cate and fragile a princess as she
appeared in the first performance.
She was as gracefully timorous as a
frightened fawn in the presence of
her first sight of a man in love, a
| man, as ft happened, who was in
love with her. Arthur Anderson, as
the martyred tutor, contributed an
even finer cliaracterizafton on the
second night than he did the first.
Grace Gardner, portrayed her part
as Princess Beatrice, with the same
excellent characterization evident
on Thursday evening.
Cecil Matson, as the sympathetic
Father Hyacinth, carried off the
comedy honors. He was diplomatic,
sympathetic and carried into liis role
a keen sense of stage movement and
dignity. Not once could a slip in
his characterization be observed.
Ruth Street, as the sister of Prin
cess Beatrice and Hyacinth, shared in
the spontaneous laughter which rang
out time after time. She gave a
very good performance of a difficult
part. Her expressions were partic
ularly good.
The best acting of the production
was contributed on both nights by
the servants who attended in
the dinner scene. Although the
table used was very small for the
accommodation of seven people, th<»
lackeys contrived to wait upon them
without even spilling one cup of
soup.
The conscientious work of the stu
dents and their director, M5ss Flor
ence E. Wilbur, was very evident in
the smoothness with which “The
Swan” progressed. Only in a very'
few instances were there any lapses
in the precision of lines ami en
trances and exits.
Much credit for the success of the
performance is due to the work of
Abbott Lawrence and the staging
and lighting staffs. The lighting in
the last act wrss particularly effec

The entire play was an achieve
ment which should point to great
success for “Beyond the Horizon”
and “Sister Beatrice” which are the

the Guild Theatre groups this term.

Basketball prospects at. tlie Uni
versity of Oregon took a consider
able leap forward when It was an

ers ever developed on the coast and
guard on last year’s varsity squad,
had been appointed assistant coach
to William J. Reinhart, head men
tor.
The basketball was introduced in
practice last night fot the first time
this year. The Webfoot coaeh is
emphasizing fundamentals, and be
gan drilling the candidates in handl
ing the ball and dribbling. Each
man was given the opportunity to
carry the ball down the court en
deavoring to continue dribbling with
his head up and his eyes forward.
Although there will be no barn
storming trip to California during
the Christmas holidays, Coach Rein
hart has scheduled plenty of hard
work for the squad. Reinhart plans
to schedule games with a fast alumni
team composed of' ex-WTebfooters
now present on the campus. Roy
’Okerberg, “Swede” Westergren,
Chuck Jost, Jerry- Gunther, and Russ
Gowans will make up the team, all
having played three years under
Reinhart.
There is a large squad turning out
for practice, but with only two let
termen from the Northwest champ
ionship team available little hope is
held for a combination to repeat the
success of the 1926-27 quintet. Scott
Milligan and Gordon Ridings, the
veterans, are expected to form the
nucleus of a winning team with hold
over reserves to fill in the vacancies.
After the Thanksgiving holiday
period, daily sessions of practice will
be started. The team will work in
regular scrimmage frays after the
men have reached ,q degree of per
fection in fundamentals.
Borah Makes Plea for

(By United Press)
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. IS.—
If ever it becomes impossible to
enforce the 18th amendment, that
amendment should be repealed from
the ^constitution, Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho said tonight in a
speech before the national grange.
| Borah jfleaded for enforcement of

the prohibition amendment, and
emphasized that he would not com

“But if the time ever comes when
it is apparent that the people do
not propose to enforce it, then I

tend the annual hie; game of -~he
west here tomorrow, when the Uni
versity of California Bears and the
Stanford Cardinals battle once more
for gridiron supremacy.
Experts and fans alike were re
luctant today' to attempt to pick
winners, aside from natural preju
dices. The year’s games give Stan
ford an advantage, but the power
shown by the Bears against Wash
ton last week, has changed the paper
dope.
Coach Price announced his lineup
will consist of weight-. Ilis starting
backfield will be the heavy mem
bers of the squad—Evans, Lorn,
Newmer and Dougery—and full
weight will be thrown into the line.
The announcement was interpret
ed as meaning that the Bears will
start with a defensive game, while
the flashy backs—-including Barr,
Olymer and Gill—may see action
later in the game.

The combination of Gabriel and

Wil served the ball into the

got tied into a knot following it out

This morning two groups of young
men entered the portals of Paio

the hills of central California, where
they have been in retirement, a no
are now awaiting the whistle at 3
o’clock this afternoon,' which will
send them crashing into each other
at the Stanford stadium in the ,'!2nd
Cardinal-Golden Bear football class
ic of the south.
The Order of the “O” gridgraph
at McArthur court will be ready to
record the first blast of Sam
Dolan’s whistle ns the big game
begins. The annual game between
the Bears of California and the big
red horde of Stanford is occupying
the center of the football limelight
on the Pacific const this week-end.
Stanford, although still given a
slight edge, is not the strong favor
ite to win that it was before the
California-Washington game last.
Saturday. Stanford defeated the
strong Husky team that won by a
very narrow-margin from the Bears.
Stanford tied the Trojan herd that
defeated California.
In the case of the Husky game,
tho Cardinals were admittedly
lucky in defeating the northern
team. Dumb football on the part
of the Purple Tornado won for Stan
ford, while lust Saturday the Golden
Bears, although losing, (i to 0,
played the Huskies an even game.
Tho squads are reported to be
in good physical condition and in
the desirable mental attitude that
suggests a great fighting struggle.
Coach “Nibs” Price recognizes the
fact that his team is greener than
“Pop” Warner’s crew which in
cludes many veterans in both line
and backfield, but he expects to
give the red-shirted athletes a real
battle and intimated that a victory
for the Berkeley Bears would be no
great surprise.

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 18.—With
the arrival here tonight of football

the Aggies were made a six to five

After a slow start, the Oregon

Important Conference
Tilts Today
By JOE PIONEY
* Tlio University of Washington
football team has discarded the j>rr»
vorbinl turkey, and has substituted
tender duek meat for toe Thanks
giving 1'ay feast in Seattle, The
Oregon gridders are the delectable
morsel with which the Huskies hope
to satisfy their ravenous appetite.
The Webfooters, however, are not
quite prepared for a roasting in the
Washington oven, and, although they
have avowed a distaste for fried
husky steaks, they will spare no ef
forts to do a little killing on their
own accord. The Oregonians have
a habit of making life miserable for
the Washington team in the annual
tilt. So persistently have the Web
footers defeated Washington and so
often have they come in the proxim
ity of victory that the Huskies con
sider them a potential “jinx.”
Team Leaves Tuesday
Intensive training in the Webfoot.
camp was concluded last night, and
only light workouts are scheduled
until the team leaves for the north
next Tuesday morning. Coach Me
Evvan is not expectant of a victory,
but is certain that the Oregonians
will not be a “setup” for the over
confident Washington eleven.
The frosh'team worked with the
varsity during last night’s practice
session. The yearlings have been
drilling in a stylo of attack similar
to that of the Huskies, and present
ed the plays last night in order to
give the varsity an inkling of what
to expect in Seattle.
A fighting spirit will be one of
the Webfooters’ most effective
weapons against Washington. Two
years ago the Oregon team under
Dick Smith met the Huskies in Seat
tle with greater odds against them
than this year. The Washington
eleven1 had been unofficially crown
ed champion of the Pacific Coast
conference, and all that remained
was the formality of bowling over
the Wcbfoots. When the game end
ed the Huskies were very lucky to
come off with a 15 to 14 victory.
Perhaps the Webfooters can ro
peat the success of the northern
trip of 1925. A close game would
at least be a semblance of a pros
perous season.
Super-Varsity Men to Play
McEwan will probably use a num
ber of his super-varsity material in
next week's fray. Harold Hatton,
Dave Mason, Roland Coleman, and
LaSalle Coles, all playing their first
year of varsity competition, will un
doubtedly see a lot of backfield ser
vice* with the Huskies. These men
Will form tjje nucleus of next year’s
attack, and all the experience gained
this season will be of great value.
Oregon will miss the dependable
playing of Chuck Williams on
Thanksgiving Day. The hip wrench
received in practice on Wednesday
afternoon has proved too severe to
warrant his presence in the lineup.
Today will see some important
games in the conference race. The
Oregon Aggies play the strong Ida
ho eleven in Portland, and Stanford
and - California meet in the tradi
tional fray of the south at San
Francisco. A defeat to either the
Vandals or the Cards will seriously
impair their championship ambi
tions.
Cage Title For Professional Men
Sought by Scribes and Laivyers
At 10 o’clock this morning the |
musty low books on the upper floor
of the Oregon building will be shov
ed back in the dim recesses of the
law school library and a horde of
aspiring barristers will sweep up
the slopes in the direction of Mc
Arthur Igloo where they will make
their first desperate stand to defend
the basketball supremacy of the
campus professional schools to which
they recently laid claim.
In the Journalism building at this,
same witching hour the restless
crinkle of paper and the squeak of
the pencil will be strangely absent.
The erstwhile scribes will cast from
them their professional air and be
come “regular fellows” for a brief
hour when they shall attempt to
quell forevermore thp restless ath
letic ambitions of the inhabitants
of tlio upper Oregon structure.
The lawyers held a big pep rally
last overling in final attempts to
bolster up the morale of their
squad. The journalists retired to
the secluded pines of Spencers Butte
where they rested far from the
marts of man. The scribes are in
great shape with the exception of
Milligan who has difficulty observ
ing training rules.
