Passes as Team Eyes
S.M.U. Finale.
The Huskers were in a playful
mood Tuesday afternoon, and their
high spirits enabled them to snap
through one of the best workouts
since the week of the Pittsburgh
game. It was dummy practice
again, with George Sauer raining
pass after pass to the ends and
backs, Hokuf, Roby, Boswell and
Masterson being most frequently
on the receiving end.
With the" Nubbins adopting the
defensive style of play used by
Southern Methodist, two varsity
elevens rehearsed their formations
including some new plays that
may keep the Mustangs guessing.
Bernie Masterson, Jack Miller,
Chris Mathis and George Sauer
was the first string backfield get
ting the call, and Coach Bible said
Tuesday that they would start
Saturday against S. M. U.
Wednesday afternoon, the B
players will demonstrate typical
plays of the Southern Methodist
offense, while the squad will take
a light drill before leaving at 5
p. m. Thursday. Twenty-five men
will be included in the Nebraska
party on the first trip ever
taken by a Cornhusker team into
the southland.

United States Worrying About Being
War Debt 'Suckers,9 Says Prof. Arndt
"In the matter of war debts the
United States is more worried
about being definitely proved
"suckers" by Europe than she is
about losing the money," saya
Prof. Karl M. Arndt of the eco
nomics department "Europe
claims, however, that in spite of
our insistence that the debts be
paid we are -doing all we can to
prevent payment. We want to col
lect, but we won't take the money.
"Europe has only three ways by
which she can obtain the dollars
necessary to pay the debt. They
could be obtained in exchange for
gold, but for the fact that Europe
can not part with her gold with
out ruin for what is left of jer
gold standard, that the United
States already has a sufficient
supply and could not use much
more without being subject to the
curse of Midas and that there is
cot enough gold in Europe to pay
th? debt anyway."

ing to Professor Arndt, is also

Europe could secure American
dollars by borrowing money from
private individuals in the United
States but the American investor
does not have enough confidence
in European bonds just now to put
much more money into them. Any
way, it would merely be postpon
ing the issue because the investors
would have to be paid eventually.
That way the debt would be trans
ferred from the American govern
ment to the American people th,t
is if the American people would
buy the foreign bonds, which is
very unlikely, he said.
"The third way would be for
Europe to secure American dol
lars by sending to this country an
excess of goods over our exports
to them and paying the debt with
money obtained in exchange for
this excess. But the United States
has effectually prevented that by
its high tariff policy which has
prevented any great excess from

ENGLAND'S RETURN
TO
REMOTE SAYS FLUX
Convocation Speaker Points
Out Need for Domestic
Price Stability.
Declaring that the prevailing
opinion of persons in authority in
England at present seems to pre
fer domestic stability of prices to
stability in the rate of foreign ex
change, Alfred W. Flux, assistant
secretary to the statistical depart
ment of tin; British Board of Trade
and eminent English economist,
speaking before approximately 400
students and faculty members at
the all-university convocation in
the Temple Tuesday morning, saw
little possibility for restoration of
the gold standard in England in
the near future.
Analyzing the breakdown of the
British gold standard in the fall of
1931, Mr. Flux emphasized th
world trade depression as the fun
damental cause, but attributed th
immediate crisis which forced thS
action of Sept. 21, 1931 to the fail
ure of the system of German repa
rations payments made with
money borrowed from the United
States and Europe to perpetuate
itself.
As the result of the trade de
pression which began in the fall of
1929, two years before the break
down of the gold standard, Mr.
Flux explained Great Britain suf
fered reduction in the three chief
sources of revenue with which she
had met the annual excess of im
ports over exports: Revenue from
foreign investments, shipping and
banking and insurance.
Dump Funds in London.
As distrust of the financial sit
uation grew, he continued, all
countries began converting invest
ment funds into short term money
and pouring it into the London
short term money market and
London assumed the responsibility
for making these funds available
to -lending countries on short
notice.
Then with the Hoover morator
ium on Intergovernmental debts
and reparations and the parallel
agreement covering commercial
loans which resulted in the freez
ing up of all foreign investments
and deposits in Germany, the drain
on London credits began. Germany
and the smaller European coun
tries who had banked with her
turned to London for the sale of
bonds to raise immediately neces
sary funds, while other countries
began drawing on their London
accounts.
The process gained speed with
