THE PEOPLE’S ADYVYOCATE July 15, 199° Withdrawal Forced By Protests Finland May Get Olympiad TOKYO. — Japan announced Thursday abandonment of plans to hold the 1940 Olympic Games here. The announcement was made by Marquis Koichi Kido, minister ef public welfare and right hand man of Prime Minister Prince Fu- minmaro Konoye. While shortege of funds has been attributed as the reason for Ja- pan’s decision to abandon claim to the 1940 Olympiad, it was the world-wide protest aroused by Ja- pan’s invasion of China which finally forced Japan to back down. sportsmen in all the democratic countries made strenuous protest through their organizations against Plans to stage the games in Tokyo. Olympic committees received thou- gands of resolutions: and protests declaring that to hold the Olympiad in Japan would be directly in op- position to the principles which brought the games into being. Outstanding sportsmen an- nounced that they would refuse to eompete unless the games were held elsewhere. Several countries withdrew their entries. Im France, WNorway, Sweden and Denmark, an- tagonism to the Tokyo games was particularly strong. It is likely that the 1940 Olym- piad will be held in Finland, al- though Britain is suggested as a possible contender. Should. Bri- tain’s bid succeed, then there is a chance that the winter games will come to Canada.

League Game EORGE BARNES, who pitched a good game for the CCE softball team Thursday night at Robson Park, couldn’t get the support of his team mates, which accounted for the leasue- leading IOF’s winning a 10-2 game. Cliff Panter, with two hits for three times at bat, and George Arnott with a lusty two-bagger, were the heavy CCF hitters. At the same park on Monday night, the CCF team lost a badly needed game—the last league game of the season—by one run to the strong Ivanhoe Hotel team. The CCFers had tough luck in a thrilling game, errors in the eighth and ninth innings being responsible for the loss. Humphrey Gardiner excelled The CCF team still has a fighting chance to land a spot in the play-offs, providing KPs, their nearest rivals, now two points behind and with two games to play, drop one game, in which event there will be a tussle to decide which team enters. BRITISH Wimbledon com- mittee, which with painstakins car has amassed a very impres- Sive record for snobbery over the past decade has just issued a de- eree which should warm the ap- proximate spot where “Stinker’’ Chamberlain’s heart would be if he had that particular piece of ana- tomical equipment. The committee, lifting its cok lective nose up to an altitude of five fathoms, has declared that any entry offered by Baron Gottfried 716 East Hastings Street 4068 East Hastings Street 1709 Commercial Drive Se Quality Products at Riocderate Prices We Deliver to East End and Grandview Homes ‘‘Thrifty Housewives Shop at Hastings Bakery’ 100 % UNIONIZED | von Cramm next year will be flat- ly rejected. This insult to Yon Cramm, now languishing in a Wazi jail, is en- tirely gratuitous. The Baron has not indicated that he will play at Wimbledon or any place else next year. But the Wimbeldonians, falling all over themselves to justify Hit- ler’s jailing of the world’s No. 2 player, don’t take that into con- Sideration. After all, it’s a noble rule of this sort of British sports- man that when a man is down you should rush to lower your brogans on his schnozzola. Von Cramm is in jail on two counts. The one openty given by the Gestapo is a morals offense committed in Berlin some years ago. The second reason is a series of rash remarks he was guilty of while outside of Germany—re- marks very likely retold to the Ges- tapo by His doubres partner, that ORANGE HALL BOXING and WRESTLING EXHIBITIONS Vancouver Sports Club SATURDAY, 3:30 PM.

Inside information via the Chi- cago to Sioux City to San Quentin grapevine has it that he has split the deltoid muscle in his bread-and-butter flipper and Monsieur Grimm is just covering up to keep the fans from re- membering that he traded Curt Davis (who has won six and lost two with the dismal Cards), Clyde Shoun and some other ivory for the season’s number one fizzola. ardent and sanctimonious Wazi, Heiner Henkel. The upper-class Briton is notor- young: iously the most hyprocritically “moral” person in the world. He is the person who will defend “Stinker’” Chamberlain’s pro-fas- cist policy which is responsible for the death of hundreds of Spanish women every day, while at the same time he will leap to the colors the moment any one else’s moral- ity is impugned. Possibly Baron Yon Cramm was guilty of the oifense charged. But, the world being what it is, what the Baron does in private seems to be pretty much his own business, If the Baron had made advances to a member of the Wim- bledon committee then that august body might have had some reason for putting the clothespin on its nose. But as it is, the committee’s ac- tion is a political gesture, pure and simple. While condemning Yon Cramm in an arrogant and super- eilious Manner, it offers the hand of approbation to the gang of per-— verts, sadists and criminals which imprisoned the Baron for the very offense of which they are the most blatant exponents. This, no doubt, is 4 part of the new policy of ‘“realism’’ which “Stinker’’ Chamberlain and his par- lor thugs from Downing street have made the order of the day. Vancouver Sports Stages Big Show Thrills and spills were dished out in rapid succession to the large crowd attending last Saturday night’s six-event wrestling show at Vancouver Sports Club. Don Lott set both the fans and the wrestling fraternity on their respective ears as he won his third successive bout by taking the Bos- ton Kid for two out of three falls. “Rough and ready,’”’ was the un- animous verdict on the match be- tween Sonny Griffith and Dancing Johnny Lamchuck, both grabbing a fall. Tiger Robinson and Stan Elford of Burnaby put on a first class grunt and groan with really hard tussling. It was a draw.

Two Helens May Meet Match Hailed As A ‘Natural’ NEW YORE — The two greats of women’s tennis, Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs, are slated to meet again in a battle of the courts at Forest Hills, R-L, Sept. 17, provided both parties are lucky enough to reach the final round of the National Women’s single championships. There does not seem to be much doubt that this will be accomplished. Such a match would be one of the greatest “naturals” that has developed in sport for many moons. Both Helens are bitter rivals and their recent Wimbledon match, which saw Miss Jacobs go down to defeat didn’t make things any better. Helen the Second played that match with a sprained ankle but Helen the First, who is a great tennis player but slightly short on sportsmanship. Its not so Many years ago that Mrs. Moody walked off the courts half way through a match with Miss Jacobs who was defeating her badly. When asked to explain her action she said a sore back pre- vented her from going on. During the recent match at Wimbledon Miss Jacobs did not take any such advantage over her rival, but played through the match despite her injured ankle. Fan interest was heightened as a result and now the tennis fath- ers are already wondering what they are going to do with the spectators. The Forest Hills Sta- dium only holds 13,000 people and it is estimated that at least 130,000 will want to see the two play. At- the present there is a move on foot amonge the tennis moguls to have them meet at the Yankee Stadium which can hold 80,000. Davey Paul Tames Ray Morales CANADIAN BAKERIES LIMITED 105 E.

This is a very dangerous game to play. The forces of disintegration can- not be so easily stemmed once they are in full swing. “But the west is more realistic in its recognition of what the pad- lock law means. It may be be- cause we have felt the depression more keenly.” R. J. Mcintyre, Rev. leader in city temperance organizations, stated: “The minister of justice should have taken action against the pad- lock law as being unconstitutional. The Dominion government should have treated this provincial law in the same way that Premier Ab- erhart’s legislation was disallowed. I feel that the Canadian people will look on this as an injustice. If these provinces are under the Same constitution, they should get the same treatment.” Declaring that the position he took on the question was shared by many members of the legal pro- fessitn, BE. A. Lucas, counsel for the Civil Liberties Union, Vancou- ver branch, said: “Minister of Justice Ernest La- pointe evaded the real issue when he ruled that the Quebec padlock law is a matter to be settled by the courts, and in this he betrayed the attitude that it would be po- litically inexpedient to antagonize certain elements In Quebec. “The power of disallowance in- vested in the Dominion sovernment is seldom used on the ground of unconstitutionality but rather be- cause certain legislation is of grave concern to the public—in this case an abrogation of civil liberties. “Every student of law under- stands this from the writings of Mr. Justice Clement, whose book on the Canadian constitution is part of the curriculum of law students. “It is simply begging the ques- tion to contest whether the pad- lock laws is ultra vires or not in the courts. This is borne out in @ precedent established in 1002 when the BC legislature, which for years had passed anti-Oriental franchise laws only to have them disallowed by the Dominion gov- ernment. Im 1902, through negli- gence, the legislation slipped through, and when an Oriental contested it in the courts on the ground that it was ultra vires, the ease was dismissed. “This is the danger opened up by the action of the minister of justice; that the constitutionality of the padlock law may be upheld by the courts, when the power of disallowance should be invoked be- cause it gravely affects the rights of Canadians. “J hope, as counsel for the Ca- nadian Civil Liberties Union, to present a resolution at the coming convention of the Canadian Bar Association, to protest the pres- either to land seasonal jobs, or elss te secure a letter from each | pestered employer in order to be eligible for relief. 2% Experience has taught many les sons.
