Madcap Make Baer is still sucker

That's the six-round ring diet
that Make is thriving on as he
prepares for his June l meeting
with young Lou Nova at Yankee

Never Saw Nova
Max has never seen Lou fight

So far as can be told from out

shape. He's sure he can go 10
rounds, if necessary. His legs are
strong after miles and miles OF

NYACK. N. Y. May 3l.-Lou Nova
is muffing a great opportunity to
settle that Man VS.. Gorilla issue
Gene Tunney brought up.
"Gorillas? Phocey!" retorts the
California clouter. I'm hunting
Baer this summer"
But every afternoon as Lou
caresses sparring partners with
leather lashings in the outdoor ring
on the Clarkstown Country Clue
lawn here bull chimpanzee in an
adjoining cage bellows throaty
challenge.
This chimpanzce is a first-cousin
to a gorilla and he thinks he can
take Nova, with or without salt.
Tunney, you'll recall, once sale
any heavyweight could outpoint {
gorilla. But Tunney, as undefeatet
ex-heavyweight champion dldn'l
volunteer to prove his point. And
there's been no evidence OF any
other pugilist taking an initial step
in that direction.
Setting Is Perfec.
There's marvellous setting here
for the crucial conflict Nova is
here. The chimpanzee, pinch-hit-
ter for a gorilla, is here. And the
ring is here. All that's necessary
Is for someone to unlock the cage

Chairman Key Pittsman, D., New,

claimed IS votes and predicted that
their strength would permit passage
of the bill this week.
He refused to consider formal
notice by the isolationist bloc that
it was ready to accept all other fea-
lures of the bill if the embargo re-
peal was eliminated.
THE arms embargo has to CO." he
said. "The thing is unneutral."
Sen. William e. Borah, r., Ida,
leader of the isolationists, admitted
that Pittsman's prediction of a final
vote this week was possible" but
probably there would be two more
weeks Of debate.
There was a possibility that
Tobey's motion might be sidetracked
today since Downey must be recog-
nized when the senate meets. The
only assurance Tobey has Of obtain
ing action is his agreement with
Barley made last week.
Tobey insists that the provisions
to prevent American ships from car
rying arms and munitions to bellig-
erents and keep Americans off bel
ligerent ships and out Of war zones
need immediate action, whereas the
embargo repeal can wait.

ter ]. E. Erkko had refused to go
personally to Moscow. At any rate,
he was not scheduled to go-as had
gone the foreign ministers OF other
Baltic countries-but delegated JUNO
Paasikivi, Finnish minister to Swed-
en-. as special envoy.
Further, Finland made it plain
that it preferred, in any negotiations
with Russia, to be regarded not as
one of the Baltic" countries but
rather as one of the Scandinavian"
bloc, along with Sweden, Norway
and Denmark.
Support of Sweden
Passikivi was expected to go to
Moscow today. 1t was understood
that Finland would have the support
of Sweden in opposing Russian fort
ification of the Aalands, but there
seemed some prospect that Russia
might be conceded special rights on
HIGHLAND Island and possibly a cou-
pie of other small islands which,
from the Russian viewpoint, might
be real menace to her if held by
powerful enemy. This, however,
was not confirmed by any Finnish
source and was simply the result OF
Baltic diplomatic speculation.
AS part of the preparations for
negotiations with Russia the Finn
ish government called up further
classes of reservists. To the regular
army of 10000 men had been added
100000 territorials, and another 100,-
900 were ready for a call. These men
were placed strategically not on the
Russian frontier but near the from
tier, where communications could be
cut.
Fought For Centuries

eral situation:

centuries. Sometimes we lose anG
sometimes we win. When we lose we

suggested frankly that Germany was
now reckoning on complete Russian
domination of the Baltic as far west
as East Prussia.
Seventy thousand Germans, In
Guiding about 5000 actual German
citizens, were preparing to leave
Latvia. About $4,000 are to be repat-
rated from Esthonia and $4,000

There was as yet no indication
that Hitler'S Reichstag speech would
lead to any fruitful negotiations.
Naturally, the possibility of diplo-
matte miracle could not be ruled
out. But it was pointed out that Cd
Hitler had merely made speech to
his Reichstag and had not taken
any diplomatic initiative or asked
for an armistice: (2) The British
and French governments had shown
plainly once more their complete
distrust in Hitler'S offers and prom
ises; 90 German hopes that any
neutral nation, even Italy, might use
Hitler's speech as a medium for sug-
costing negotiations to the allied
governments seemed to have been
dissipated; and ca there was no
SIGN that the British and French
had receded from one Of their basic
war aims which was the elimination
of Hitler personally.
David Lloyd George, liberal party
leader and prime minister during
the latter half of the World War,
was alone among first rank politi-
clans in suggesting more than form
al consideration of Hitler's peace"
bid.
No Real Peace Terms
Arthur Greenwood, acting labor
party leader, said at labor confer

J. L. Garvin, for years one of the

in the Sunday observer:
"Hitler offers nothing but a peace

speech.

by fire and sword"
1t was legitimate to ask, said Il
vestia, whether. if Britain and
France continued the war on the
Crush Hitler" basis, the real aim
was not to consolidate their world
domination"
First announcement
This was the first authoritative
announcement of Russian govern
ment policy on the speech OF Adolf
Hitler to his Nazi Reichstag last
Friday. That it represented the gov
eminent view, there was no doubt.
Its significance was increased be-
cause it came Immediately after the
arrival of German trade negotia-
lions and the news that Russia was
preparing to re-gear its economic
planning program to satisfy German
needs for raw materials. In its force
full presentation Of the argument for
acceptance of Hitler's program as
the basis for peace talks, the editor
ial caused diplomats to recall the
implicit threat in the recent joint
Russo German declaration on the
war, interpreted then as meaning
peace on our terms-or else"
There was no hint of Russian ac-
ton in today's announcement OF
the official viewpoint. But Izvestia
after pointing to the British and
French Colonial possessions said:
More Valid Motive
obviously an endeavor to hold
these gigantic possessions against
German claims, to preserve undivid-
ed domination over them, assuring
uncontrolled exploitation of hum
dreds of millions Of Colonial slaves,
is a more valid motive Of interest
of the governments of Great Britain
and France In the war against Ger
many.
ITO attempt to ignore Germany's
proposals means to assume respon-
sibility for further unleashing OF
war and consequently to assume re-
sponsibility for the colossal sacri-
fices and devastation connected with
war.
Peace or war?-That is the ques-
ton. The champions of the slogan,
War to a victorious end are In ia
vor OF further unleashing Of war, In
favor of war and against peace. But
for whose benefit is this war waged
for the domination Of the world? In
any case, not for the benefit Of the
working class. The working class
can only suffer in such a war"
Izvestia quoted at length from
recent article of George Bernard
Shaw, urging Britain to make peace
with Hitler.
