Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
R. JAMES J. CORBETT

Comparison of the records of Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey gives big edge to the Utah Mauler" in the ments
 Willards career, stretching from 1911 until the present time, embraces only 31 fistic encounters. Dempsey, on the other hand, has mingled in 57 fights since he first donned the gloves four years ago.
 Willard has hammered is men ipto Dempsey has scored 3i knockouts. NNillards "kill-'em- m-dead" record, us- ing the baseball method of computing averages, is about .570. whereas Demp- sey has hit for a mark of $50.
 In all the years of Willard's career the big fellow has disposed of only one opponent in a single round. To se- cure his other knockout triumphs he has had to travel from two to 26 ses- sions to accomplish the trick, despite the fact that his tremendous size, his amazing reach and his great bulk have given him great advantage over every foeman.
 Dempsey has won IS of his 57 fights in less than three minutes of duellinS. He knocked out the giant Fred Fulton in about 15 seconds, Arthur Pelkey in 51 seconds, Homer Smith in 62 seconds, Carl Morris in 32 seconds, Tom McCar- thy in 6S seconds, Porkey Flynn Tn 62 seconds and Charley Miller in v seconds Eleven other men who faced him were unable to travel full round. The most striking factor in Demp- sey's favor is that he Is at the crest of his career now as a knocker out while willard's greatness in that line seemed to start fading away in 1914 Willard was most active in 1918 when | he fought II times, winning five fights \ with knockout blows, In 1914 he i fought only three times, scoring twc knockouts and losing the other fight | to "Bearcat Tom McMahon on decis' l ion His only 1915 battle was witf Jack Johnson which resulted in $
 knockout triumph although it took th' 1 giant 26 rounds to turn the trick Willard's last fight was on March 20 1916, when Frank Moran held him of 1 for 10 rounds.
 Dempsey, however, has been doing his greatest work through the pas year. In his last 22 contests he ha won 17 with knockout wallops. Tw'
 of the other four fights were node
 cision affairs in which Dempsey woi the popular decision on a foul iron | Carl Morris while the other was th' | defeat on decision in a four-rounde with Willie Meehan.

WHAT GEO. A. GASTON SAYS

It so happened that on the day when MT. Farrell spoke of the great opportuni- ties for fireign trade which are opening George A. Gaston also spoke confirming all that President Farrell said about these opportunities, but apparently diff fering with him, in certain views. MT. Gaston is one of those who have achieved greatly, especially since the war began. His name is not as familiar to the pup
 lie as 1t should be in view of all that
 he has accomplished. It is only a Iew
 years since he organized a firm Of in-
 ternatfonal merchants. He had all the
 enthusiasm Of youth, for he was unoer
 40 when he made this venture. How sue
 cessful it was in war days will be un-
 derstood if 1t be stated that although J. P. Morgan & Go. as purchasing agents
 Tn the United States for Great Britain.
 transacted a business that amounted to hundreds of millions, MT. Gastons house
 stood second in this respect. having been
 chosen as purchasing agent for several
 of the allies. He is as much a master
 of the science of international trade as
 is President Farrell, although the train-
 ing of each was somewhat different from
 that of the other. MT. Gaston says that a
 commerce stupendous in amount. is
 about to be established, certainly will
 be established as soon as absolute peace
 is secured by treaty if the United States
 takes advantage of the opportunity. His
 opinion however is that our greater com merce will not be with Great Britain or with France. We can have, if we are awake to our opportunities very large international trade with Belgium. The best outlook for our trade in his view is in the Balkan and Black sea district, although he believes we may increase greatly our trade with the far east. But the inspiration that will lead to securing this trade must begin to do its perfect work immediately. Germany. in his view, will not be ready for two or three years | to undertake manufacturing upon large scale and therefore there is no immediate reason to fear that Germany will dump her products upon the United States. | Therefore Rumania.- with Germany out | of the way. offers a great field for Amer Iican products. Rumania's resources are to be excellent and her oil since the oil wells of Rumania were not ruined after i German occupation can be put in good condition within a short time Bo- henia will also offer a great, market.
 ! .'resldent Farrell qualified his predic- 1 ton that we may have very great for eign trade, much of 1t under our own | flag if we only make it possible to op- l crate our new ships in competition with l those of other nations. Mir. Gaston who returned the other day from prolonged soiourn in Great Britain and the rest of Europe, asserts that it will be impossi- ble for the United States to take from

VIRTUE PROHIBITED

The witness read to the committee the text of a number of decrees through which the bolsheviks secured the nation alization of women.
 "These need no comment, he said. '"This is the thing that is being fostered and upheld by the propaganoa now being circulated in the United States in an effort to justify bolshevism. The creed of the bolshevks does not respect and, in fact, discourages and in some cases even prohibits women from being Hlr- tuous. It is the same with religion. The bolsheviki favor no religion of any sort.
 Full publicity of the acts and beliefs of the bolsheviki, Mr. Simmons said, would be sufficient to kill the idea in the minds of any Americans who might nave become sympathetic.
 s'What do you think of men like Albert R, Williams, who came over here and upheld bolshevism?' asked a member Of the committee.
 "I think" replied the witness, that Williams left Russia before the terrorism began; Williams now is going upon theory and is not taking into considera- ton the practice of that theory

GERMANY RESPONSIBLE

Evidence which he said showed Ger many was responsible for the outbreak of bolshevism in Russia was presented to the committee by MT. simmons. It ln- cluded a sworn statement of Russian that just before the Cars government was overthrown he was sent by the Ger man imperial chancellor to Switzerland to determine which of the Russian SO cialist schools there was the most rad ical and to offer the leader 5,oo0,0Oo marks if he would send his men into Russia to spread their propaganda. After visit ing Switzerland, the Russian reported that the school headed by Lenine was the most radical, but he recommended the services of Lenine be not engaged as the resudt, of successful, would mean . terrible catastrophe for Russia

He it was who, soon after the organization of the United States Steel corporation. was authorized to organize and then to operate for eign sales department. He undertook this work with enthusiasm, beginning upon the ground floor, so to speak. His organiza- tion when perfected reached to many parts of the world. It involved something like universal training for the represeh
 tatives of this department for they were expected to learn a great deal about racial distinctions, to master the lang age of the people with whom they were to deal, and the business methods in various parts of the world, the geography of those countries where markets might be formed, the character of the ports and also to be well informed respecting political conditions, which might in one way or another affect foreign trade.

WENT TO FOREIGN MARKETS

These representatives after proper quail ifcation established themselves in vari-
 ous markets, especially in South Ameri-
 ca, Australia and the far east Within
 two or three years their success was demonstrated. It was possible to call at
 tention to a rapidly increasing export of
 American iron and steel products. until at last few years after MT. Farrell
 organized this foreign sales department
 the authorities at Washington were able
 to report that iron and steel products
 of the money value of little over Sloo,-
 000,000 were sold in one year in foreign
 markets. A wise and shrewd man of
 business of England was one of the frs, to realize what this increase in the e-s- port of American manufactured products meant. After a sojourn in the United States was rapidly rivaling Great Britain London and ventured to say to his busi- ness associates there that the United States was repidly rivaling Great Britain in the amount and money value Of her exports of manufactured products.
 In April, President Farrell who is chairman of the foreign trade council of the United States, is to meet-and at the time when the contemplated fifth Liberty loan is under way-representa- tives of almost all the industries in the United States and is to have associated with him 10 or F men who are members
  ment of state who have been investigat- ing conditions not only in Europe but
 also in the far east. This is to be the sixth annual convention of the foreign trade council and is to be held at Chi- cago. The organization was perfected be- , fore the war in Europe began. It was
 somewhat affected during the four years of the war but now that peace is as- I sured it undertakes to stimulate the | laa6 nd O indnCfripS nf the limit ed States so that they will take advantage l of the opportunities which the needs of | the foreign nations now created. MT.
 Farrell asserts that very great foreign trade may be ours, provided our men of l industry and of commerce act with en- | ergy upon lines of sound policy.
