GoriIIos RoreIy Dissipote
And Can Step Fast All Day.

For another thing, the gorilla
keeps himself in good shape. Goril-
las live cleanly. You can count the
number of gorillas who smoke OF
chew tobacco on the tip Of your
nose. Gorillas never drink unless the
house is buying, and the house has
not bought round in the Congo
since 1908.
In the third place, big-game
pursuer who has just come back
from that part of the world tells me
a gorilla can run all day and fire.
quently does-always in a forward
direction. Mr.. Tunney thought the
ape would lose his wind and dog it in
the second round or thereabouts
AS it turns out, he can outrun and
outlast Glenn Cunningham.
To settle the difference of opin-
ion between Mr.. Tunney and the
late Mr.. Brisbane I think the test
fight should be staged by Mr.. Bris-
bane'S rules-SiX against one. A
man-to-ape duel would not draw
peanuts, and I am pretty sure that
Mr.. Joe Jacobs would hold out for
big dough before he permitted his
Anthony Galento to mingle with an
uncouth jungle bum.
On the other hand, a fight between
q gorilla and Henry Armstrong, Joe
Louis, John Henry Lewis, Freddie
Apostoli, Lou Ambers and Galentc
would pack them in. There would be
profit enough for all parties, even
after deducting burial expenses and
inheritance taxes.

PRESS Box
Brisbane Gets Booking
On GoriIIu as Boxer
BY JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK. Dec. 8.-Not long age
Mr.. James j. Tunney, the former
heavyweight champion, divulged ex-
clusively to your correspondent that
an ordinary third-rate heavyweight
could lick a gorilla. Mr.. Tunney
claimed that the gorilla is overrated
and always has been. He thought
it very likely that Tony Galento. to
name one third-rate heavyweight,
would kick an adult gorilla all the
way back to the Congo without put
ting on his shoes.
Certain facts have come to light
since then which tend to show that
the manly marine was out of line
when he made these statements. 1t
begins to look as though the late
Arthur Brisbane was closer to the
truth. Mr.. Brisbane always insisted
that gorilla could whip any six
fighters at one and the same time.
To begin with, Mr.. Tunney read
his encyclopedia too soon after din
ner and gave the gorilla short
count in the matter of ribs. The
happy-go-l lucky simian has about
twice as many ribs as Mr.. Tunney
figured, and all of them are Of cast
iron.

FRANCE PUTS ON A BOLDER FRONT,
THANKS TO TEMPORARY DICTATOR
nv Associated Press)

PARIS, July 2l.-When quick
tempered Edouard Daladier was
named premier Of France on April
10, his country faced another
outbreak of strikes and the for
eign situation reaching the crisis
stage again because OF the Aus
trian trouble.
No one cherishes democracy
more than I who come from the
working classes" declared DaIa-
dier in one of his speeches. But, -
he warned Frenchmen in another,
unless the nation goes to work,
France may expect dictator to
make it work"
Three days after he took office
ne was voted power to rule by
decree. That meant that the blue
eyed, stock Daladier although
he had little power in comparison
with a Hitler or a Mussolini, was
Temporary dictator" Of France.
Works For A Strong Franc
The premier went to work to
restore the Frenchmans conf
dencc in his country's ability to
hold its place. in the sun. He APP
pealed to French patriotism in a
way that Frenchmen could not
ignore
War threatens Europe" he said
in effect, and France has been
weakened. We hust work to make
a strong FRANCE or France is
lost"
He strengthened the nation s
armed forces, soidified an ALI
ance with Britain as an offset to
the Berlin Rome axis, laid the
base for a three-year economic
program and brought about at
least temporary peace between
capital and labor.
He also devalued the franc nine
per cent and raised all taxes eight
per cent. Both actions were un-
popular with Frenchmcn, but he
seems to have convinced the ma
ton that both were necessary.
And he has cut tourists costs to
help bring money into the cOun-
try.
Defense Loan Oversubscribed
Daladier played no favorlteS
His increased tax decree hit CAPT
tai hard, but he hit labor. too,
when he told it the 40-hour week
law could not be carried out to
the letter.
On May IA a defense loan of
$l40,00O.000 was announced. The
next day the government report
ed that the French people had
overSubscribed the loan. On May
"a the government came through
with a three year $304, 100000
public works program to speed in
dustrial production.

ne is a fighter His worst politi-
cal enemies admit it. and his poll
tical career since 1882, when he
was hooted out of the premier
ship as the Stavisky scandal led
to riots shows it.
The wild bull emerged from
parliament'S l8-day session in
June with the government firmly
in power Adjournment of parlia-
ment gave him a free hand to rule
by decree until November So he
and his national defense cabI-
net" continue to match their wits
and French patriotism against
the powers of totalltarlan govern
mcntS.
If ne fails" said many a poll
ticlan as Daladicr took office,
there IS nobody left-no known
leader" After he had gone into
action. the same group echoed the
words of Frenchmen in Paris cafe
terraces.
