, A BASKETBALL SPECTACLE
Those who thrill at the fast action of a good basketball
game are looking forward to the corning weekend which of
fers them the climactic spectacle of 'the basketball season.
' ; At Union on Thursday, Friday and Saturday eight teams
from' Union, Wallowa, Baker, and ; Malheur counties will
engage in a tournament; and the reward offered the winning
quintet will be the district' championship plus a trip to Salem
to represent this section in the state championship play-off.
: , The Union business and school men who are sponsoring
the tournament are confident that this will be one of the
most successful ever stnged in this end of the state, especially
in view of the fact that the eight teams will go into play
much 'more evenly- matched -ttiun in .ordinary seasons. And
this belief is generally shared by others throughout the dis
trict.' i.'.r:.
It is certain that scores of La Grandcrs will attend the
tournament, primarily to cheer the Tigers, of course, but
alsd td witness the high class of basketball which is sure to
be 'displayed there, whether the local team figures promin
ently or not. " ' .f
We're rather proud of this tournament almost as proud.,
in fact, as is Union, t)ur neighboring town which has so
successfully, conducted the basketball play-offs in this dis
trict ever since the present scheme of deciding the' cham
pionship was inaugurated. ' , .
':. For that reason, and because Coach Ira Woodie has organ
ized and perfected a team that is deserving of our finest
support,' we urge every La Grande citizen to -attend one or
more games during the three days of the tourney. '
V - VANISHING EMPIRES
' While making an excavation for a new office building in
the heart of London, British workmen the other day came
Upon some relics of the very distant; past relics of the day
when London was an outpost of the Roman Empire, a pro
vincial garrison on a distant island. '
These workmen found a number of interesting things, in
cluding old Roman lamps, tools, bits of broken pottery, and
even old pilings that marked the site of London's first river
wharves. Their finds, archeologists say, date back to the
first century of the Christian era..., ,
Of course the London subsoil is, full of such things, and
thero is nothing startling about this newest discovery, but
it is something to stir the imagination at least. It makes
ancient history seem more real, tujj perhaps gives us an eerio
glance into the future. , 'hi
When those relics were first deposited there, Rome was
what London is today the capital of a far-flung empire,
filled with busy traders, sailors, shippers, administrators,
Jind ."empire builders." We can easily visualize those young
Romans sailing out to assume administrative posts in the
British' Isles, just as young Englishmen, not so long ago,
sailed away to similar jobs in India.
Those men must have felt that they were going to the
very ends of the earth, and the 'placid river Thames a3
Conrad points out in his "Heart of Darkness" must have
seemed as mysterious and as vaguely, hostile as. the coasts
of Africa seemed to the roving young Englishmen of the past
century.
It is easier to make Roman civilization seem real by draw
ing the parallel. The imperialism of the Caesars was, after
all, very much like that of Queen Victoria's day. There were
far-off colonies to be developed, and what is now England
was then a wild and barbaric land that needed to be cultivated
and civilized. '
And all of this makes us look ahead. Rome's envpirc has
vanished, centuries ago, and her colonies have grown to ripe
maturity. Will the empires of today sometime follow suit?
Will English relics dug up in Delhi or American relics un
earthed in Manila rouse coi-cspoiidiiig images in the
minds of men a thousand years hence?
We wonder if the fellow who, along about last July, was
wishing for a little cold weather is satisfied by now or is
he wishing for July to come?
' Most of our criminals have "foreign names" but, alas,
so have most our record breaking athletes, "
pleusantness, and all her paths

BUYING GERMAN (IOOOS
r A trade'bbycott la a powerful wcap-
on: when rigidly observed. The diffi
culty lies In enforcing It. For bo
iong as men are moved by considera
tions of gain, they are going to buy
uuuua in me lowest market and sell
them In the highest. If they can: Sen
timent cuts a sorry figure In busi
ness, when It runs at cross purposes
-wjwi proiiis. -
uunng xne worm war, we wore
assuring ourselves In the fervor of
our patriotism that never again would
wo buy German-made goods. But as
soon as the war was over. American
'capitalists subscribed blg loans for
mo uermans. This money was ex
pended In rehabilitating Germany'i
Industrial system and In preparing
It to dump cheap goods on the mar
kets of the world. These capitalists
are learning that the Germans bor
rowed the money for the express
purpose of making the United States
finance their Industrial comeback,
first by using American capital and
second, by displacing American goodB
In the world markets. But the In
ternational bankers, who floated the
loans, are not worrying, because they
exacted good, fat commissions for
their services, and passed the bonds
on to a trusting, but now disillu
sioned public.
' Today German made goods are
coming Into the United States In' a
tremendous volume. Germany, to
day, has attained rank as being sec
ond to this country only In the vol
ume of Its world trade. And Ameri
cans, forgetful of their war-time
vows, are tumbling over themselves
to buy the German-made goods, be
cause they can buy them at a . lower
cost than American-made goods and
they think they are saving money.
To Illustrate: German-made barbed
wlro Is being sold in Albany. Dealers
cannot sell tho American wire, be
cause they can sell the German pro
duct for about a dollar a spool less
and still make an extra 10 cents
profit over tho Arrierlcan brand. The
farmer thinks he saves his dollar and
tho dealer makes his profit. t
But does the farmer save his dol
lar after all? Hero 1b a question
that Is deserving of study. For the
farmer is Interested In selling his
produce, in fact he must sell it, If
ho 'Is' going to be able to buy wire.
And, Willie ho Is buying the German
wire, he Is doing nothing to relieve
tho unemployment situation in the
United States. The American wire
mills are not getting the business
and consequently ' cannot employ
labor; and workmen who arc out of
Jobs' are not ontlng bread or meat.
Thus the prices of farmers' produce
remain at a low figure.
It Is not always good business to
buy tho cheapest products, although
this doctrine would stand as much
chance of acceptance If preached to
trees' as to human beings. This Is
true when the buyer Is a soller. too,
and ho needs to sell his produce. In
cases whero tho buyer sells more
goods than ho buys, .as -tiiq farmer
does! his flrsC caro shoiltd be to pro
tect the buying' power of his cus
tomers. Ho cun afford to pay a pre
mium on his purchases,' If he can
get A premium for the goods he sells,
for tho ' balanco of trade Is In his
favor. The farmer who does not sell
In greater volume than he buys will
not be a farmer for long.
American business men and farm
ers, too, could do a lot toward re
storing American prosperity, It tlioy
would glvo precedence to American
made goods. There is no better woy
for bringing back' good prices and
brisk demand. But they will not do
It, because they cannot resist the
temptation to buy at tho lowest llg
uro possible.
Moanwhlle wo will go on patroniz
ing the German manufacturers, keep
on wondering why business docs not
pick up fastor and blnmlng tho ad
ministration and congress for not
helping ub. But we can holp our
selves If wo will. But we won't.

A UOOD HOAltD
The 1932 En stern Oregon Livestock
Show will have tho advantage, (it the
very outset, of a prudent, conserva
tive, businesslike board of directors.
Never beforo in the history of the
show has there been such an Imper
ative demand for theso qualities In
tho management. Excessive liberal
ity 'In tho treatment accorded exhib
itors has' characterized the show in
years past most of them years in
which such policy was possible with
out crippling the organization's fin
ances. This year tho show faces an
entirely different set of conditions.
It may be found necessary to revise
tho classification list, eliminating or
cutting down awards for hoiuo non
competitive exhibits, abolishing free
reed, charging entry fees, and other
wise, reducing the heavy overhead.
Tho new directors are men who mny
bo safely entrusted with the problem
of making the 1033 show's ends meet,
as well as clearing up Inst year's
deficit. They mny bo expected to meet
tho situation with duo regard for t lie
Interests of tho exhibitors and the
pulling power of the show, and with
the same regard for tho financial
responsibilities of those who are
backing the show. The board will
miss three of its last year's members
Itobert Withycombe and Homer
Bid Welt (deceased I and Frank Con
ner, who is no longer n resident of
Union. Tho Real of these three men
contributed heavily to the suececs
of the past shows. In their places
wo have County Agent H. O. Avery,

ment farm. No better selections

OUT OUR WAY
THE OPEN
COURT
CORRESPONDENTS MUST
SUBMIT TflHIIt NAMES TO
THE EDITOR IP THEY DE
SIRE LETTERS TRINTED.
La Grande; Ore.
Feb. 27, 1932.
Dear Editor: ! '"' r
The question before the farmer and
.producer today Is' a market. Now we
farmers, the producers, have' been,
talking to Mr. Avery and have found
that wo are going to be able to In
corporate In a way which we are most
suro is going to bring results.
But wo must depend upon the con
sumers to give us their very best
support. And It will be up to us
producers to establish our prices ac
cording to a policy of live and let
live, and thus save much 'of the
money which Is goingJnto the pock
ets of the middleman and being sent
out of the county. . ,
There are a good many sides of
the proposition to be considered, and
there will be several meetings which
we ask the consumers to attend with
thewwllllngness to offer helpful crili
iciftm and, suggestions.
To- emphasize the ' Importance of
thlv matter I mention one instance.
Tiuyalps were "sold in tho stores at 4
pounds for 1C cents. The markets of
fered mo 1 cent a pound. The con
sumer can easily see whero all his
money goes. The situation will hover
be remedied until the consumer and
producer come together in a business i
way.
In Mr. Chandler's letter of Jan. 2G
he said thero Is $55,000 spent for out
ski . products such as fruit and gar
den stuff. But in looking up tho
records I find that in the year lt)30
there was close' to $150,000 sent out
of this county for fruit and produce!
The date of our first meeting will
be published later. Hoping to hear
from others soon, I remain
Your friend,
Mr. B. Kail.
In Washington
WASHINGTON Tlfc appearance
of ' William Glbbs McAdoo on the
scene enthusiastically endorsing Jack
Gamer for president is proof enough
that what has been billed as the
great political show of 1932 now Is
definitely under way.
MeAdoo perhaps couldn't have
stayed out of the plcturo very much
longer. A man who has led in the
balloting of two conventions as .he
has, naturally Is expected to speak
out at a time .like tills, what with!
all the "Stop Roosevelt" movements,
tho speculation as to what Al Smith
really means and iso on.
His flat endorsement of Garner
would seem to indicate that he has
no - hopes along that line himself.
Someone once complimented him on
his feat of flying from, Los Angeles
to Washington In n little more than
10 hours.
"Yes," replied McAdoo, "ono can
get to Washington much faster by
flying than by way of the electoral
college."
Probably by this time he has been
convinced of how true that asser
tion Is.
TKXAS DAf'KKD HIM
' His coming out for Oarner might
possibly bo traced to that political
marathon or 1924 the democratic
national convention at Madison
Square garden.
Texas was with hJm for a long
time In tho balloting. There are
still memories of that powerful and
big-voiced Texan who aroeo so often
to s hot it that Texas vote was for
McAdoo.
And It may be that McAdoo has
cast his eyes' around and concluded
t hat a Democratic president might
possibly find it in order to make
us of his services, say, for example,
in the cabinet.
"Uncle Andy" Mellon at 76 is still
holding down an Important public
position. McAdoo at 6 may have
aspirations along the same line.
Ho still Is remarkably active for
a man of his age. He owns an air
plane capable of n speed of 200 miles
an hour, and flies all over the coun
try. He is an enthusiastic swimmer,
golfer, dancer and horseman.
nrsv m iuNts war
At one time In his career during
tllA W.Ar1rl (tut. V,a Vinlrl rlr.ni,
positions of responsibility than any
other war -ersonaHty.
Hp was neoretary of the treasury,
chairman of the federal reserve
board, chairman of tho federal farm
loan board, chairman of the war fi-
mine corporation, chairman of the
International hlph commission and
lltvctor-t;Myral of the railroad!,.
It would be nnUiral for him to
have a yearning for activity of this
kind again. His Interest In public
affairs has continued since.
He is gifted in speech, and his ob
servations on public Issues are al
ways noted. Thus when the Wicker
sham report was published, McAdoo's
verdict was:
"Tho weakness Is . . - that It com
mits suicide and leaves us weeping
at the grave." "
