THE1 MEVIH21AN 1CIEY THUSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1935 Rubber Lands Described By Prof. athews Origin Of Borneo Industry Is Subject Of University Radio Lecture The beginning of the large rubber plantations in Borneo and other parts of the Middle East began when a British explorer, Henry Wickham, smuggled some 70,000 rubber seeds out of Brazil, and took them to Lon- don where they were planted was one of the descriptions given by Prof. Donald M. Mathews, of the forestry school, in a talk over the University radio station yesterday. From these seedlings, Professor Mathews declared, a little less than 2,000 seedlings were raised, which were shipped to Ceylon and planted there. From the seed of the resulting trees, "the six and a half million acres of rubber plantations of the Middle East have developed." Since this industry developed so quickly, the industry soon used up the old tea, coffee, and coconut plantations on which rubber trees were first planted, and a great demand for new areas of wild jungle land was created, he added. Surveyed Borneo Since the best land for rubber plantations was the land which was best for forests, Professor Mathews was surveying the unexplored, unfa- miliar parts of Borneo. "The commer- cial exploration of a tropical forest area is an interesting job but one which neverthelesstinvolvesbmuch hard work," he pointed out. "The natural forest cover is so dense that no idea can be obtained of the stand- ing timber or of the soil conditions existing beneath the main tree can- opy, without penetrating the jungle on foot. Airplane surveys would tell one little about the area except that it was covered with forests, and this, in a country like Borneo, one can be pretty sure of without getting into the air to find out." Jungle Very Dense "The jungle is so dense," Professor M hews emphasized, "and so full of climbing vines and rattan that a path has to be .cut with a knife for every step that one moves. On the aver- age a line two miles long could not be covered in under 6 to 8 hours, and often the vegetation is so dense that one can look back over the line he has covered down a green and leafy tunnel, seeing nothing of the country on either side." Professor Mathews also attempted to correct the common misconcep- tions of the tropics. The climate of the lowerelevations of the tropics, within a few hundred miles of the seacoast is in reality the only tem- perate climate in the world, he said. In the so-called "temperate" zone, we have an annual range of temperature of 100 to 150 degrees; in the tropics at sea-level the average maxima Ethiopian Traitor Leads Italians Into Makale -Associated Press Photo.

Manager Of State I Debating Matches 'Neighbor' Teams William Halstead, of the speech de- partment, and manager of the Michi- gan High School Forensic Associa- tion, is still puzzling over why a de- bating team from the upper penin- sula will travel more than 100 miles, including a trip across the Straits of Mackinac, to debate with the Chey- bogen High School Debating team. Mr. Halstead, who is new at the job of managing the Association, under- stood that the custom is to bring to- gether teams in nearby towns, and that was just what he planned to do. But Cheybogan's coach, Carl Titus, had never heard of Inwood before, so he set out to find the spot indicated on the map. It proved to be a "ghost town," sans school or any other build- ing. Mr. Halstead investigated, and found, too late, that the town of In- wood which was registered in the As- sociation, is in Schoolcraft County, in the upper peninsula. And that is' why, on Friday night, two teams from the extreme ends of the state will meet for the first time in the history of the Association, in a preliminary debate.

The United Engineers' candidate for president, Miller Sherwood, Sigma Phi, defeated George Malone, inde- pendent Consolidated, by a vote of 101 to 75, as his fellow nominees took the remaining three posts of primary importance. Cedric Sweet defeated Allen Upson for vice-presi- dent by the top-heavy count of 123 to 55; William Sheehan downed Mel- ville Hyatt for the secretarial post, 90 to 84; and Jack asley easily beat Edward VanderVelde for treasurer, 115 to 61, to solidify the defeat of the Consolidated Engineers. Possibly the day's honors for pro- viding the ultimate in hair-raisers go to Burton Coffey, of the Uniteds, who nosed out Jack Sinn of the Con- solidateds for representative on the Honor Council, 86 to 85. Francis Wallace, 36, president of the Engi- neering Council, told The Daily last night that this vote, in particular, had been "very carefully" checked. William Lowell, of the Consolidated Engineers, brightened his party's horizon by winning the Engineering Council post from Jack Cooper, 87 to 85. This vote as also checked, Wallace said. The Consolidated group further re- deemed itself by snaring the two J- Hop committeeman jobs. Donald Hillier and Carl Abbott bested John Freeze and Gus Collatz, the four poll- ing 91, 82, 76, and 72 votes respec- tively. No opposition party appeared in the business administration school elec- tion yesterday, so the lone group com- posed of Richard Prey, president; Dale Campbell, vice-president; James Scherr, secretary, G4e - arer, and Bernard Carey, J-Hop Cofliw mitteeman, were u c- Sed. The failure of architecture college candidates to submit eligibility slips to Dixon caused the postponement of their election. Voting machines secured from the Automatic Voting Machine Corp., Jamestown, N. Y., were used in the literary college elections. Dixon said he was "eminently satisfied" with them, and added that there was "no possibility" of fraud in connection with the balloting.

Delegates Are Named To Navalarley WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.- (/P) - The Roosevelt administration's sur- prise move in naming William Phil- lips, undersecretary of state, as a delegate to the London naval con- ference opening Dec. 6 was interpret- ed today as a sign the parley is con- sidered of major importance. Phillips, a career man with long experience in international affairs, will be a member of a delegation headed by Norman H. Davis, "roving ambassador." Admiral William H. Standley, the navy's highest ranking officer, was selected as another mem- ber. The first indication of the policy to be upheld by the American dele- gates was given last night by Presi- dent Roosevelt. It is a policy of oppo- iition to any increases of naval strength beyond present limits. The United States, Mr. Roosevelt said, will oppose the building of navies that cost nations more than they cost today. Whether this meant that the United States would oppose Japan's long-standing desire for naval equal- ity with the United States and Great, Britain was not stated, though some observers placed this construction on the American position.

Thus, Professor Mathews added, as far as the absolute effect en of temperature goes, that of the trop- Le ics cannot be said to have any dele- wi terious effects upon those resident th there. Pointing out that there is a com- Se mon misconception with regard to the wi tropics that rainfall is continuous th throughout the year and heavy at all times of the year, Professor Mathews concluded, "The rainfall is between 22 to 4 times that of Michigan," but the rainy season does not last any more than our winter season lasts here in the north.
