FEAR NYATT MAY
LOSE HIS SPEED

Whitehead and Wyatt are the
two infield problems Of note. The
former suffered a nervous break
down following an appendicitis
operation. and after brief at
tempt to get back into the swing
of things last spring gave it up
for the season
Plenty of rest since then and
strong assertions that he's ready
again presage a comeback for the
smooth second sacker. but there S
always the chance that he won't
be able to pick up where he left
off.
Myatf was regarded rs one
of the fastest men 10 come
up In long time. Experts
predicted he'd steal close to
40 bases this year. but that
was before the CLASSY third
baseman was wheeled into the
operating room TO part with
his appendix, too.
The Giants physical worries 20
even farther afield than their own
bailiwick Not that it's catching,
or anything like that, but Blondy
Ryan. who steps out as manager
of the New Clinton, Ia. farm
team. takes over his chores with
the memory of broken leg suf-
fered at Baltimore still in his
mind. Ryan had planned on
serving as playing manager. but
after being laid up six months he
may have to change his mind.

THE NATIONS WEALTH

The total physical assets of the United
States are estimated at $409, 949, 200, 900
by the Rev. Edward Kellar, director of the
Bureau of Economic Research, University
of NOtre Dame.
The valuation is based on figures
available for 1880 and is in terms of the
pre-devaluation dollar. The reader should
note that only physical things" are in
Guided in the estimate. Stocks, bonds,
mortgages and paper money are not in
Guided for the reason that they only evil
dence ownership of things.
The things are divided into two
broad classes: those used ''for comfort" or
ito satisfy some want of an individual
and those FUSED for production or 'tools
used to produce goods" While the figures
include the Navy as physical asset it
does not include streets, public roads, etc.
On the basis of this valuation, the ma
TONS physical assets in $780, in terms OF
the predevaluation dollar, amount to ST.
TAO per person. Of this $1,233 represents
production assets and $3.50 represent
comfort goods.

JAPAN is RUTHLESS

The japanese invasion of China con-
civilian centers and the deliberate murder
of women and children who are being daily
destroyed in their homes. The people of
the world, including those of us who live
in the United States, continue to be apathe-
tic to the dropping of bombs on defense
less Chinese people. The atrocities COM
mitted by the Japanese invaders do not
stir up the Indignation that one might ex-
pect. .rta
1t is apparent that the purpose of
Japan is to conquer and control China.
Neither the rights of the Chinese nor of
foreigners residing in China are regarded
or respected by the invaders. The brown
army of Japan depends upon its might to
take what it wants and leaves to diplomats
the problem of preventing interference
from foreign powers. From the beginning
of the struggle the Japanese have disre-
garded the rights of other peoples in China
and there is no doubt but that, if victorious,
the Japanese will take advantage of their
to the cmmerce of nations other than
Japan.
The United States Government has in
formed the Tokyo Government that Japan
is violating American rights in China by
refusing to evacuate seized property of
American citizens and by preventing our
citizens from returning to their own prop
anese Army will continue to do as it
pleases and the Tokyo officials will do
their best to prevent the United States
from taking any action that might injure
Japanese military prospects.
The writing of diplomatic notes to
Tokyo is practically a waste of time unless
the Government of the United States is
ready to undertake something definite in
the form of retaliation. This need not be
warfare; it might be an embargo on the
shipment of war materials to Japan.
The resistance of the Chinese people
to the overwhelming force of the invading
Japanese has surprised the entire world.
The persistence and bravery of Chinese
armies in the face of great odds has won
the respect of people everywhere for the
soldiers of China and the Chinese Govern
ment. Admiration and respect, however
valuable they may be, do not assist the
Chinese if other nations are passive, per-
hitting the Japanese tc violate their rights
with impunity and, at the same time, con-
tinue to buy abroad the supplies that make
the war possible.
