America too1 Popular :l ' !
With Chinese Students
PEKING, Oct. 11 (AP).. The
American Legation has taken
cognizance of - an -apparently- auth
entic report that the ministry of
education has issued instruction
to authorities in the provinces to
cut down the quota of students
to be sent o America.
"In recent years there have
been too many private students
going to America," the ministry
in question is alleged to have said
in its communication to the prov
inces. "During the last 18 months
the number is equal to 67 percent
of the total number of students
going abroad. The reason why
most of the students go to Ameri
ca is that they; easily obtain ad
mission into American colleges
where they become special stu
dents. In two or three years
they return to China, being consi
dered fo have graduated.
"Although there are not a few
who go to the United States to
obtain a real education, a major
ity go simply to get a degree
Even if the standard of education
in l the United States Is higher
than in other countries, the num
ber; of students should be restric
ted, otherwise it may result in the
setting up of a special intellectual
influence in the country.
"Now with the enforcement of
the new American immigration
law there is the- more reason to
check Chinese students from going
there. Beginning this year, any
vacancy in the quota of govern
ment students going abroad
should be filled by those desirous
of .pursuing their studies in
Europe. I

British Doctors .Oppose
Insurance Act System
LONDON. Oct. 9. (AP) The
National Medical Union, which
claims to speak for some 16,000
British .physicians. Is on the war
path against the panel system of
medical treatment -under the Na
tional Insurance Act.
The' National Medical Union is
now hard at work completing the
case which It hopes to establish
against the panel system which is
to be ' investigated in " October by
a Royal Commission whose mem
bership includes1 Lord Lawrence,
chairman; Sir John Anderson, Sir
Humphrey Rolleston, Sir Alfred
Watson, Sir "Arthur Worley and
Sir Andrew Duncan. ,
The union maintains that the
We AsIclYou
j To Say
IT IS CONCEDED by the most
; eminent authorities, that this
Rickenbacker 'Vertical-8-Superfine"
is one of the three
best cars in America and that
is the same as saying, in the
I world. , ; 5 v 1
OF COURSE EACH of the makers
of the three outstanding
examples of sound engineering
and fine workmanship would
claim that his is best of all.
NATURALLY WE BELIEVE that
this Rickenbacker product is
entitled to that distinction.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE, it repre
sents the broadest experience
and most advanced ideas in de
sign, while the shop-practice
under which it is made is second
to none.
MATERIALS and workmanship
that go into the fabrication of
this "Vertical-8-Supernne"rare
the best the world affords. That
is a fact easily proven.
BUT THE FINAL RESULT of ail
the engineering, all the : pro
gressive ideas, -of all the care
in selecting, testing, proving, is
to be found in performance.
THAT IS THE ULTIMATE result
striven for that the only real
proof as to whether we have
achieved that which we sought.
WE CLAIM and others claim.
( How are you to know whose
claims are justified?
WHEN YOU CONSIDER that
. there is a great" difference be
tween prices of Rickenbackers
and other Vertical-8 cars with
the margin in favor of this pro
duct you are, perhaps, inclined
to doubt that this car can out
perform all rivals, j
AND THERE IS ONLY ONE way
1 for you to prove to your own
satisfaction whether that is so.
Drive this 4 'Rickenbacker-8"
yourself.

that the eyatem is demoralizing
and involves pauperisation. The
forthcoming attack Will, it is1 ex

One charge against the panel
