TOXIC. Feb. 9.-Authoritative
sources said today Japan would refuse
to give naval information asked by the
United States, Great Britain and
France in a reply to be handed to the
Ambassadors of those countries, prob
ably Friday.
Along with the reply, which was
being drafted by navy and foreign
Office authorities, the government was
expected to make clarifying state
ment" on the naval problem.
U. S. Expansion Pulling.
Tatsuo Hawai-, a foreign Office
spokesman, said today in a statement
OF personal opinion that Japan fails
to see the need of American naval
expansion if the United States lacks
the intention to quarantine or police
foreign waters"
The official government statement
was the subject of conferences today
between Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye and Admiral Mitsumasa
Yonai, naval minister. Cabinet ap-
proval was expected tomorrow.
The United States, Britain and
France had asked in formal notes that
Japan inform them by February 20 Of
any plans to build battleships exceed
ing the 35,000-ton limit set by the
1896 naval treaty among the three
powers
Quarantines Stressed.
Hawai-, in his statement which he
emphasized was not to be regarded as
the Government attitude, stressed
carefully the word quarantine. !"
president Roosevelt, in an address
at Chicago october S, suggested a
quarantine" of aggressor nations)
Lying between the two oceans, "
Hawai- said, America occupies a
highly favorable position strategically.
No nation menaces her. Moreover,
vast industrial strength supports her
naval strength.
Therefore, we are unable to un-
derstand the necessity for her naval
expansion if she does not have the
intention to quarantine or police
foreign waters.
I'VE do not see why America re-
CARDS Japan as threat"

THE RECORDS

If you We're in far off London
todayif you should wander in the
dusty roads about Destiny Bay, o.
In the outer reaches of old Dublin
Town you would perhaps observe
strange old men with suspicion
Of side whiskers, and garbed IN
black clothes. At first, you might
avoid them, fearing you would BE
piucked by the sleeve and asked
that most intimate and embarrassing
OF all questions. Have YOU found
Salvation?' These men are not from
the mold of romantics as are certain
OF our American journalists, yet
their ancient voices and prcttier
tales you never heard, than those
they tell of iron hearted men who
have attacked other men inside the
prize ring.
According To these old mongers
Of the manly art OF prizeiighting
the last survivors Of the age of bare
knuckles and finish tighters-we
would be told with unhesitancy and
all manner Of assurance that there
has always been revenge fights in
the ring cycle, and faces beam with
delight at the mere mention OF the
grand old names of Heenan, the
Benicia Boy, who drew with Tom
Sawyer. III a battle thought to be
the most terrific Of the ring; that
Of Gully, whom the Game Chicken
conquered: Sir Daniel Donelly, the
great Irish champion, who was

his defeat of the gigantic Captain

great Sayer. All these men were
driven to their fights Of daring
through revenge. This grizzly old
brigade from London's sporting
realm now may be the body servant
OF your Aunt Jinepher but they
still bear the legends Of the good
men who dared in the early days of
the trade.
SO will the deeds Of Joe Louis
settle into the records for posterity
as long as men tell of glory and
profit inside the prize ring.

racial strife attending his native
Germany, falls into position

OF his reception when he returns to
the fatherland. We do not wish to

maker, there will be more about
this.
Dempsey Gives In.
Jack Dempsey, Americas No.
man among fighting men, gives in.
At least he has taken Joe Louis to
his manly bosom but not until
Louis had literally knocked every
heavyweight on the globe right into
his lap
Dempsey, who repeatedly bats
about zero III his predictions involv
ing the Sundown brethren of the
craft, now joins the waiting world
with strong superlatiycs, in favor Of
Mr.. Louis. Dempsey has never pick

scrap. 4 few days ago he was one
hundred per cent sure Of the sue
cess Of Barney Ross to beat Henry
Armstrong. II would seem high time

Tag Day Here On
Saturday To Fund
Debate Team Trip
Club Members Will Join in
Sale; Team Going to
Chapel Hill

A Tag Day will be held here on
Saturday morning by the Hender-
sonville debate club for the pur-
pose of raising funds to defray
the expenses Of the debate team
to the state contest at Chapel Hill:
The debate teams, composed OF
negative and affirmative teams,
recently won triangular contest
from Forest City and Cullowhec
and the right to participate IN the
state contest.
The team is composed OF biiiy
Reese, Joe Mottsman, Benjamin
Patterson, and Perry Gianakos.
Travis Brown and Ed Kahn are
alternates on the team.
Headquarters for the tag sale
will be established Saturday morn
ING in front of Kalin's store, on
Main street, and all members OF
the club will participate in the
sale.
Twice before Hendersonville has
sent teams to the state contest at
Chapel Hill. In 1880 teams en-
tered the contest and the negative
team advanced as far as the semi.
finals. Local teams also entered
the state contest in 1927, and the
negative team also entered the
semi-finals.
The debate club is one Of the
most active organizations in the
local high school, but has no funds
to meet such expenses and the tag
sale is the only means Of financing
the trip to Chapel Hill.
The question for debate this
ear is: Resolved, that the several
states should adopt a unicameral
system of legislation. The debate
coach is Miss Garnette Shipman,
who is assisted by Jimmie Barnes.
