Georgetown turning the trick last
spring.
Hubbard had one outstanding
fault. 1t was his inability to hit
the take-off properly. Time and
again his jumps were not allowed,
owing to fouls of that nature.
Hubbard participated in his final
meet as a college athlete in the ma
tional collegiates at Chicago last
summer. And after many unsuccess-
full attempts, it appeared that Legen-
dre's record-breaking mark of Is
feet, 1916 inches, made in the
1924 Olympics, would not be shat
tered while Hubbard was in school.
But the ebony-hued star wound up
his collegiate career like a fiction
hero. For on his very last jump
as a Michigan athlete he hung up a
new record, leaping 25 feet, 10B
inches.

TOKYO. Dee. 2l.-" Japan can
not afford even to consider a war
with the United States. She might,
however, well consider an armed
struggle. if necessary, to protect
her commerce with the great Amer

the repeated scarcS i'll lingoistlc

Americans resident in this coun

the japanese representative in
Washington. i'll his speech ut the

Philadelphia Scsqui-Centcnnial eX-
position. virtual official recogni-
tion by Japan of the relation be
tween the two nations.
Matsudzira emphasized the eco
nomic intcr-dependence between
Japan and America, pointing out
that Japan is the best customer of
The United States in the Pacific and
that America is the greatest purch-
ascr of japanese products.
1t is common knowledge in Japan
that the economic positions of the
Empire depends very largely on
American purchases of japanese
raw silk. The United States takes
practically all the silk raised in
Japan for export, and loss of this
market would mean little short of
ruin for Japan.
Similarly Japan depends to coa-
siderable extent on the United
States for her supply of raw cotton,
although the past fiscal year has
seen a great development in con
sumption of Indian cotton by the
Osaka mills.
Ambassador Matsudzira s speech
was printed extensively in the Jap
