Point To Chang ^
Says W. P. Maddo
By WILIAM P. MADDOX
Certain little news items, not gen
♦
orally of a spectacular nature, trick
ling out of China nowadays lead one
to believe that a movement of vast
diplomatic importance may be on
foot to give recognition to the Nan
king government of the Nationalist
party with its youthful generalis
simo, Chiang Kai-Shek. Of course
i tis always hazardous to engage in
predictions about China, but it need
not be amiss to draw attention to
some few facts which at least seem
to possess significance.
» » *
At present the foreign powers
recognize as the official government
of China, those who hold authority
in Peking, c^hief among whom is
CJiang Tso-Lin, Manchurian fnlli
tary dictator. He drove out ilie
previous occupants of the capital
city three years ago and actually
his control is certain in less than
half of China, and nebulous in a
few other districts. In fact, China,
a sovereign united republic in name,
is nono of these things. She is not
sovereign because of a vast net
work of foreign control affecting her
political and economic life. There
has been no central government
maintaining authority everywhere
for well over a decade. And lastly,
the short-lived republic has never in
fact been revived since President
Yuan Shih-kai was seized with his
imperial hallucinatiosn about the
same length of time ago.
Heretofore this has not been
done. Foreign 'governments %av(e
generally seemed to demand that sta
bility of government be established
by one central government, and not
by two governments occupying dif
ferent spheres, They have waited
for this now for several years and
it has not come. Meanwhile the
Nanking authorities go about their
work of administration in the south
and the diplomatic or juristic fiction
which ignores it probably is doing
no one more harm than the for
eigner.
So when one reads that the
French, British, and Japanese min
isters have all recently made visits
from Peking to Nanking, one might
reasonably expect that something
is afoot. And now also comes word
that John Van Antwerp MacMurray,
the American minister, has also
taken leave from Peking and is now
making extensive visits in the
southern region. In addition, the
British chief of the foreign cus
toms administration, which has pre
viously collected, its duties solely
for the northern government, when
it could, has been discussing with
representatives from Nanking the
possibility of payment of certain
portions of the revenues to that
government. These are only several
among many incidents recently
which give one reason to believe
that the powers are planning greater
extension of recognition to Nan
king.
In her opposition to foreign dom
ination all China seems one. In her
culture and tradition China is one.
But in her instruments of govern
ment, facts present at least two
fairly stable governments, and it is
some-times wise to. face facts.

Oregon-Idaho
Geology Given
At Meeting
Professor Livingston Talks
To Sigma Xi Group
Thursday
The development of certain drain
age and mountain systems of north
eastern Oregon and western Idaho
was presented as a formal lecture
subject by Professor D. C. Living
ston of the department of geology
of the University of Idaho at a
joint meeting of the University of
Oregon and Oregon State College
chapters of Sigma Xi, which was
held in room 105, Deady hall, last
Thursday evening.
The findings of Professor Living
ston are the result of a considerable
amount of research which he has
carried into the Blue and Wallowa
mountains of Oregon, the Seven
Devils and Cudahy mountains of
Idaho and the Mile-deep canyon of
the Snake river which separates the
two mountain groups. The prob
lem was considered in fonr phases.
The age of the mountain uplifts in
western Idaho, the control of the
mountain uplifts by faults, the his
tory of the Snake river and the pe
culiar drainage pattern of certain
streams in the area.
By the use of lantern slides and
diagrams, the speaker traced the
rise of the Blue mountains from a
low dome just south of Lewiston,
Idaho, and westward into Oregon,
where they swing in a broad cres
cent back to the north and east,
making their list stand in the rug
ged Seven Devils of Idaho. Stand
ing alone inside the curve of the
crescent as an igneous and meta
morphie complex, capped in part
and surrounded by miocene lava
flows is the Wallowa mountain group
of Oregon.
A veritable mosiac of faults has
raised these mountains to their
present level and has exposed on
their summits rocks which appear in
the Snake River canyon, is an an
cient terrain buried by hundreds
and even thousands of feet of basalt
flows. The appearance of these
lava flows on the Oregon mountains
and their absence on the Seven
Devils group indicates that the lat
ter range was elevated several mil
lions of years before the former.
The present Grande Ronde river
valley seems to have been cut by
the Snake river which was forced
from that channel by the faulting
up of its stream bed. This forced
it to swing to the east of the Wal
lowa mountains where it has cut its
present gorge. Many other streams
were forced into a similar fate, and
as a result, present a drainage pat
tern that coincides roughly with the
fault line system.

French Noble Will
Address Campus Folk
Late This Afternoon
“Lo Baron d’Estournelles do Con
stant” may sound like a far cry
from an European novel of nobility,
but that such a person is really a
man will be proved at the Kappa
Alpha Theta house this afternoon
at 4 o’clock, when the French club
will sponsor a tea in his honor. Le
Baron arrives this morning from
the University of Washington,
where he has delivered a series of
lectures under the management of
the Alliance Francaise, forign lan
guage group. Leaving Eugene to
night, he will continue on his way
to California, where he is instructor
at Scripps College, a branch of Po
monat
At the tea this afternoon, where
Andrie Pellion, romance languages
instructor, will introduce him, Mon
sieur de Constant will deliver a
short talk, very informal and in
French, before the assembled stu
dents. The subject of his address
was not mentioned in his.telegram to
Miss Pellion, but it will probably
deal with some phase of college
life with which all students are fa
miliar.
“Le Baron’s father was a senator
in France,” Miss Pellion comment
ed, “and was much famed for his
eloquence. His speeches would
draw a crowd anywhere.”
Any persons interested in French;
students, faculty, or their friends,
are invited to come and hear the
Baron this afternoon. The tea
will be over by 5:30, in time for
guests to get home for dinner.

Roosevelt Wins
Back Use of His
Legs by Bathing
Paralysis Attack Which
Crippled Him Is
Conquered
(By United Press)
NEW! YORK, Feb. 24.—Franklin
D. Roosevelt, in 1921 stricken with
infantile paralysis nnd pronounced a
cripple for life, today walked, with
the aid of two canes, into the of
fice of the Fidelity and Deposit
company of Maryland and resumed
his full difties as vice-president.
Back of this lies a story of a
grim fight, perhaps of a discovery,
and certainly of hope to scores who,
usually far earlier in life, have beon
similarly afflicted.
In 1920 Roosevelt resigned as as
sistant secretary of the navy to run
for the vice presidency. His cam
paign, which carried him over the
country to the Pacific Coast, made
him known to thousands.
A year later, when he was aged
39, he was stricken suddenly with
infantile paralysis—one of the in
stances where the treacherous disease
which is usually associated with
childhood, attacked adults.
His legs were crippled and he
could not walk even with mechani
cal aid.
Despite his affliction he never
gave up.
About that time he heard the
story of a young engineer who was
afflicted as ho was. The engineer’s
parents had taken him, merely for
a rest and a vacation, to Warin
Springs, Georgia. The man had a
determination to regain the use of
his legs again and, while at the
springs, had gone into the water
supported by a life preserver. Every
year for three years he had gone to
Warm Springs and bathed with his
life preserver. By the third sum
mer he could use his legs effectively
in the water and on land could walk
with canes.
“I decided to make the experi
ment, too," Roosevelt said.
Few Men Competed
In Intramural Meet
At Igloo Last Night
/ -
Insufficiency of competitors was
the outstanding feature of the in
door intramural track meet held in
McArthur Court last night at 7:30
o’clock, ps only enough athletes
arrived to allow competition in three
of the seven scheduled events. No
records wero either broken or dan
gerously threatened.
The results of the events held
were: 45-yard dash, Schafer, Alpha
Beta Chi, first; Bredthauer, Bach
elordon, second; Wetzel, Phi Delt,
third; time 6.2.
440-yard dash, Ross, Theta Chi,
first; Hall, Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
second; Overstreet, Sigma Chi, third;
time .55.
880-yard dash, names, Sigma Chi,
first; Steel, Friendly Hall, second;
time, 2.6.
The officials of last night’s meet
were* Judges, Don Beelar, Fred
West, Joe Standard; clerk, Schade;
starter, Del Oberteuffer.
It is essential that more interest
be shown in the indoor track meets
if they are to be ..continued, Coach
Bill Haywood said last night. Next
veek all those selected for compe-!
tition must appear, and it is very
desirable that the spectators be in
creased from the mere handful who
attended the meet last night.
Faculty Man

Meals Assured
World Tour Debaters
Able To Travel Again
Thirty Forensic Meets in
U- S. on File
A soft, warm bed, and six-course
dinners are now in reach of tho
University of OVegon “Round tho
World Debaters,” for money has
beeif sent to them and they will
now bo able to start meeting their
guaranteed contracts with other
American universities.
A private loan of sufficient sizo
was secured and the money was sent
a few days ago but before the de
baters sent the telegram telling of
their serious plight.
J. K. Horner, debate coach, was
in. Portland yesterday, but it was
ascertained from authoritative
sources that a faculty member had
loaned the necessary money to the
stranded boys until they are able
to. repay the loan from their guar
anteed contracts. The amount of
the loan was not given out and
neither was the name of the profes
sor who appreciated tho plight of
Benoit McCroskcy, Jack Hempstead,
and Avery Thompson and sent them
tho money necessary to continue
their tour.
Funds Raised Privately
The matter of the loan was not
presented to the executive council
of the Associated Studonts at all,
and the facts of tho case havo nover
been brought beforo that body, ac
cording to Fred West, chairman of
the finance committee. It would bo
necessary for the matter to bo pre
sented before tho council and for
someone to apply for tho loan be
foro it could be granted by that
body, West stated.
Now that the loan has been pro
cured from a private source it will
be unnecessary for tho council to
take any action, it was stated.
More than thirty debates will bo
engaged in before the Oregon men
return to the campus sometime in
May. It is thought that sufficient
money will be made as they tour
the country for them to engage in
all their contests and that further
loans will not be needed.
Clubs Decline To Help
Lack of sufficient funds arose
from the fact that money was to
be raised on the guaranteed con
tracts and bo in New York when
tho debaters arrived there. Kugono
service clubs had agreed to donate
some money, but when Professor
Horner recently met with them, the
Rotary club was the only club will
ing to loan tho necessary money.
They wero willing to loan one-third
of tho necessary amount if tho
Lions and Kiwanis would mako up
the rest of tho amount. The last
two clubs were not agreeable to tho
proposition, and a shortage resulted
that temporarily embarrassed tho
three debaters.
But that’s all over for tho men
now have the money.
Mussolini Recalls His
Minister to Austria;
Raps Hostile Speeches
(Itv United Pr~»)
ROME, Feb. 24.— Tho Giornalo
D’Italia announced late today in an
extra edition that Premier Musso
lini had decided to recall Signor
Auriti, Italian minister to Vienna,
as a protest to anti-Italian mani
festations in the Austrian parlia
ment and against the speech of
Chancellor Seipel, decrying Italian
rule in south Tyrol.
Commenting on the Seipel speech,
the newspaper pointed out that the
Austrian chancellor’s speech was
an “unusual manifestation” in in
ternational relations.
Giornale D’Italia said the Italian
people, so tranquil in the face of
Austrian outbursts, cannot but ap
prove of II Duce’s dignified answer.
Dean Gilbert Speaks
Before High 12 Club
Dr. James II. Gilbert, dean of tho

Twelve club at the Osburn hotel
Friday noon, February 12. The
subject of his speech was “Manage- !
ment of Public Debts,” with special i
arophasis placed on the sinking fund !
ind the economic fallacy underlying
its use in connection with national

Walk-out Results at
Mention of Quiz in
Student Prof Class
If you are ono of the persona
who refer to professors ns being
“hard-boiled,” just, listen to what
three students of tho business ad
ministration school did to their fel
low sufferers if you want to decide
if all tho hnrd-boiledness is on the
professor’s sido of the desk.
Thursday, Professor A. S. Kings
mill, associate professor of business
administration, assigned special re
ports to three students in liis class
in finance management and asked
them to tako charge of tho class
the next day.
The class met ns usual on Friday,
and tho students took up the first
half hour with the three reports.
Then much to tho surprise and hor
ror of tho class, the three student
instructors handed out papers for
a quiz. As soon as tho class rea
lized the situation, it walked out,
leaving tho three instructors minus
the job of correcting papers.
The question remains whether the
three students wished to bring the
grades up or down, according to
their own, or whether they were get
ting revenge for doing all tho work
for the day’s assignment.

Ferris Hopes To Hear
Oregon Song at Came
“Take cheer yo Oregon basketeers,
for I am on the way,” sang Walter
L. Ferris, head of the University
band, ns he cranked the little old
Ford and started north last night to
support the team in its mighty
struggle tonight.
“I am starting for Seattle to

terviewed, “and all I’m taking is
tho old Ford and a couple of copies
of Mighty Oregon. If the band up
there will only oblige me by play

Seattle tonight.
The Washington
game will mark
the last regularly
scheduled contest
for both teams.
Up to date tho
Wobfoots have
been defeated
twice, while tho
Huskies are en
joying a clean
slate.
Tonight's tilt should be one of
the best basketball games played in
tho Northwest loop this season. The
Oregon team, with second place se
cured and nothing bettor to gain,
enters the Washington game with
everything to win and nothing to
lose. Tho Huskies with nine suc
cessive wins would liko nothing bet
ter than to finish the season with
an even 10 wins.
It Will Be Mighty Hard
Washington is going to have to
show its best against the Webfoots.
Tho game played in Eugene earlier
in tho season which tho Huskies
won, 2‘1 to 17, is no criterion of to
night’s outcome. Tiie Oregon five
was in a slump at that time which
cost two conference games. Coach
“Hec” Edmuudson’s five will be
somewhat hampered tonight because
of tho loss of Alfred James, stellar
guard. This Husky, who, in addi
tion to being a close checking guard
and a high point scorer, is on the
beneh with an injured knee.
Ridings in Second Place
Gordon Ridings was trailing in
second place in individual scorers
yesterday. Captain Bill Burr of the
Aggioa was leading -with 101, while
Gord’s total came to 99. Monty
Snider was third with 82. The Ag
gies played tho Washington Staters
last night which added a few to
Burr’s total. Tonight will find
scrappy Qordou Ridings with a
chance to win high point honors for
the season.

Second Performance of 'Lady
Windermere9 Shows New Points
By ALICE GORMAN
The Guild Hall production of
“Lady Windermere’s Fan,” by
Oscar Wilde, was at its beat Thurs
day night, although Friday night
showed greater color in Jack Wal
dron as Cecil Graham, Marshall
Hopkins as Lord Augustus, and
Merle Benedict as Mr. Dumby. The
third act disclosed decidedly tho
best technique and polish, and the
stag scene almost attained sophisti
’ated cleverness. Cecil Graham was
quite tho inspiration of the scene
with his line, “There’s nothing like
:he devotion of a married woman—
something no married man knows
inything about"—which quite char
icterized the atmosphere. Mr.
Dumby succeeded admirably in not
snowing what it was all about.
Dear Augustus was even more gul
ible and “deucedly pleased” with
hings in general than on Thursday
light.
Perhaps the interval between now
and the week of repertoire will
give the cast a chance to refine its
production. Longer and more con
centrated rehearsal would have re
moved most of tho weaknesses.
A word should be snid about tho
courteous and splendid manner in
which the hosts handled tho guests.
The idea was J, Alden Woodworth’s
to have the hosts in formal dress—•
and it has proved good in prepar
ing the audience somowhat for the
dramatic productions. Mr. Wood
worth as business manager has done
much in helping Miss Wilbur to
make her plays financial as well as
dramatic successes.
Miss Wilbur did a daring thing
in allowing a beginners’ class in
drama to produce “Lady Winder
mere’s Fan”—but her adventure
was successful in disclosing to us
Harriet Hawkins and Mary Duckett,
and several men whom the Theater
Guild Players are anticipating. Her
courage in daring was rewarded.
