My rise to the top was unlike that OF
other champions, being slow ana steady.
Many boxers who become champions
gained their way to the top quickly.
Take Jimmy Britt, for instance, He
never even engaged In a preliminary
battle. just as soon as he quit the am
ateur ranks he was put on for the main
events with top-notchers. Britt cor

an amateur he was always used for

Russia Wants Rapprochement.


The Bourse Gazslte, Of 1t. Peters-
burg. one Of the most responsible jour
mails in Russia, yesterday contains
carefully written leading article adyo-
eating a Impeachment between the
| United States and Russia to safeguard
the interests of both powers in the far
East, which, the paper says. ere now
threatened by Japan. The Bourse Ga
zette remarks:
Contemporary Europe has 20 ground
on which a combination OF powers for
the maintenance OF peace in the TAR East
is possible, but Russia and the United
States are able to jim hands for this
purpose. They have no old scores to
settle. Their ancient friendship Is only
Temporarily impaired, owing to the mi'-
takes of the former regime. A Russo
American reapprochement, which is his
torically necessary, would check the
Asistic storm which is again moving
toward the western world. This in no
way implies war with Japan. On he
contrary, 80 soon as the understanding
takes definite form it will guarantee the
stability of peace in the far East. -
The Bourse Gazette says it finds that
the chief source of japanese chsuvinis n
is now shown 10 the negotiations Of the
Toxic government with the governments
at Washington and t. Petersburg to be
the cutter bankruptcy of the moral pres
tige Of the West 10 japanese eyes, owing
to Japan's easy defeat of Russia and the
discovery that the solidarity of the wes'-
ern peoples in the work Of peaceful de-
yelopment is an empty sound"
The article adds; "The war indicated
| to the japanese that everything was per
missible to them il material force was on
their side. The first step in the moral re-
Mobilization of the West is a Russo
American rspp!ochemeni.
"1n this connection may be quoted a
remark made to the Associated Press cor
respondent by Russian diplomat Of the
highest rank who said:
Russia places the highest value on
the friendship CT the Uoited States aud
realizes and acknowledges that serious
mistakes were made in the past, TO which
the impairment OF the friendship Of the
last few years is due. Our task now is
to repair these blunders.
The Novroe Vremys Rech and Slovo al
so devote leading editorial articles in the
most apprebensive tone to the Japanese
question.
