There will, it goes without saying,
be opposition in both branches OF
Congress. The dyed-ln-the-Wool
pacifists and isolationists are in full
regalia and ready to lombard Cap

They will be reinforced by "authorl-
ties like Senator Reynolds, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, who recently
returned from Europe, convinced
that war is farthest from the minds
of Hitler, Mussolini ct al, and that
peace loving America has nothing
to fear from the totalitarlan
brethren. The first citizen of Ashe-

defense, but insists "adequate' is a

"Who wants to attack us?' The
North Carolinian disclosed to the
Senate that one of his European

authoritative quarter that the

that it isn't far from Washington
to Cambridge, the Harvard Alumni
Bulletin pretty plainly hints that his
law classes hope their favorite pro-
fessor's new duties won't prevent
his returning for an occasional
lecture. There'd be precedent.
Associate Justice Joseph Story, who
was appointed by President Madison
and served from 1911 until his death
in 1845, went back to Harvard. from
which he was graduated in 1893, to
lecture now and then during his
Supreme Court service. Justice Story
was previously member of the
House of Representatives from
Massachusetts,. While on the high
bench at Washington, he was elected
an overseer of Harvard and ap-
pointed a professor of law there
holding both ranks as long as he
lived.
Ambassador Johnson, who has
just arrived from China, completes
in 1889 his thirty-second consecutive
year in the foreign service, a period
spent exclusively in the Far East
or at the State Department on mat
tiers associated with the Far East. He
began as a student interpreter in
China in 1907 and has trodden. in
the course OF his climb to ambassa-
dorial eminence, practically every
rung OF the consular and diplomatic
ladder. johnson not only speaks the
cultural Chinese language fluently,
but several Chinese dialects as well
and, Of course, is familiar from per-
sonal experience and observation
with practically every important
nook and Granny of the country. It's
doubtful If any other nation has on
duty over there a man who knows
his Chinese onions as thoroughly as
our literally battled-scarred ambas-
sadorial veteran.
Attorney Generals may come and

knowledge of all details of the work

every Attorney General since Sar-

law degree at National University

of the faculty. Nearly every legal
opinion, letter, memorandum or other
document of importance destined for
action by the Attorney General
clears through the versatile, smiling,
reticent executive assistant.

The teams finished the season
in a percentage tie, Sleepy Eye
having won three games-from
Springfield, st. James and Hut
chinson-and lost one = to Red
wood Falls-for ESQ rating.
Their fifth game was a tie with
New Ulm.
Redwood Falls, besides defeat
ing the co-champion, triumphed
over Glencoe, Hutchinson, New
Ulm, Springfield and Tracy for
six wins but lost an earlier game
to Tracy and another to Marshall,
to match the ESQ rating.
In deciding the championship,
the schoolmen figured the Tracy
Redwood games as one tie, since
each won one. That left Redwood
with one defeat, a tie and five
wins, rating of 1873 per cent.
But since Redwood won all its
district games-Sleepy Eye, New

give Redwood one crown but re-
