out of the light-heavyweight ranks
and winning the heavyweight title
from Joe Louis-the ultimate goal
at which both Conn and his man.
ager, Johnny Ray, are aiming.
There are two very good reasons
why Conn isn't expected to set the
heavyweight world on it's ear. To
begin with, Billy isn't heavy enough
and probably never will be-to
fight Louis. And he never will be
able to hit hard enough to stop
Louis.
Tunney Did It
1t is true that Gene Tunney out
grew the light heavyweight ranks to
whip Jack Dempsey, but the cases
are not parallel. Tunney was a big
man, large-boned. His was a chas-
sis which could carry 200 pounds
with ease. Conn isn't built that
way. He is small-boned, and it is
doubtful that his best fighting weight
will ever be more than ITS pounds.
There's no question but that he
could give big, slow-moving heavy
weights more than they could han
die. Tommy LOughran proved what
a clever Interchangeable could do
against more weighty opponents,
even though he was far from a
heavy hitter. But Joe Louis is Just
as fast, just as clever, just as game
as any Interchangeable, and is the
deadliest puncher in the ring today.
1t is likely that Billy will win his
share of battles in the heavyweight
division. Boxing history is studded
with the names of light-heavies who
could and did whip big, slow-moving
buns with no trouble at all. 1t is
only natural. He is fast enough to
cut cumbersome opponent to rib
bons. The fact that he can't deliver
lethal blow won't keep him from
picking up decisions here and there,
Talent Mopped Up
In his own weight class, against
Lesnevich, who was the New York
state athletic commissions No.
contender, Conn didn't take the
brakes off his darling left jab until
the fourth round. From then on he
looked good. In the eleventh and
thirteenth rounds he had Lesnevich
groggy, hanging, clinching and lean
ing. But he couldn't finish him. He
lacked knockout punch.
BY winning the decision from Les
nevich, Conn just about mopped up
all the suitable talent in his weight
class. That's why both he and Man
ager Ray want to crack the heavy
ranks and eventually meet Joe
Louis.
The fact that he would be attack
ing a giant killer with a fy-swatter
elicits from his supporters the re-
mark that "you can't have every
thing"
Giving away 20 pounds to heavy
weight as fast and dangerous as
Louis is tantamount to handing an
opponent a small ak after the OPEN
ing bell sounds. It's still reasona-
bly, safe to remark that a good big
man can whip a good little man.
That's what Conn is-a good little
man.
1t may well be that all the con-
Germ anent Conn's proposed fight
with Joe Louis is futile. He hasn't
earned the right to fight the champ
yet. Some heavyweight-Bob Pas
tor, for instance-may change the
complexion of things before the
hopes of Conn and Johnny Ray are
realized.

HOW CAN IT BE DONE?

Now, asks the American economist who knows Russian trade, how can Russia step up the production of raw materials to feed an industrial production by 88 per cent, and at the same time export raw materials to Germany?
 Or, if it's grain they're going to export, here's. another picture in sta- tistics: Official Soviet figures listed by the United States Department of Commerce indicate total grain crop production at an annual rate just now of some 3,300,000,000 bushels, or about q bushels per capita. (You can compare that with the United States per capita production of 38 bushels.)
 Last year, Russia had only 50,000, : 900 bushels to export, not necessarily because it was a true surplus over the needs of her people, but because she needed the gold it brought in the world market.
 Even so, 50 million bushels of grain for two nations mobilized to the hilt as are Germany and Russia, is a mere drop in the feed bucket.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-10-31
WHERE WE COME IN

Now what about the products Ger many could send to Russia.
 United States Department of Com merce figures on Russian trade, taken from official Russian sources, show pretty clearly that the de- ficiency ermany could supply would be machinery, tools, and sim liar finished products.
 And what nation supplied that de- ficiency in Russia last year?
 The pictogram headed Russian Imports" based on official Russian trade figures, tells the story for the last six years.
 The United States is the culprit We've taken the place of Germany in Russias trade with western na- tions. And conservative estimates indicate that some 80 per cent of our exports last year were machines,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-10-31
tools, and products of that kind.
HERE'S A CATCH

Therefore, if Russia plans tc switch all that machine business to Germany, she must face the pros pect of a costly re-tooling of many large machine units in her produc- ton plants. You can't have ma chinery of one pattern turning out part of product, and machinery of another pattern turning out the rest of it. Not only would the process of re-tooling be extremely costly, but it would have a tendency to slow down production all along the as sembly lines. And that would prob ably slow down the pace of Stalin's ambitious third Five Year plan.
 Therefore, American economists are wondering whether Stalin is go- ing to sacrifice part of his plan, or pull Hitlers leg and send no raw materials to Germany.
 Trying to swing both the trade agreement with Germany and a third Five-Year plan at the same time, would be good deal like trying to have ones cake and eat it too

pEAC0CKs WILL MOVE, REMOTE
 TRAppiNG AREA

MT. and Mrs. Bill Peacock, who have been living at Moose Lake on the Taku River for the last three years, are leaving tonight or to- morrow morning on the steamer Alaska for Cordova.
 The Peacocks will spend the winter trapping in the upper White River or Ladue River country be- tween Cordova and Chicken north of the Nutzotin Mountains. This country, close to the Alaska Yukon border, is considered one of the widest areas in the North and should furnish good trapping.
 The young couple, who have made many friends in Juneau dur ing their stay on the Taku, expect to make their home in the White River country. They will fly in from Cordova, taking their traps and snares, winter food supplies and a radio, except for which they will be completely cut off from the world until spring.

 Again very soon after the Stalin orders were published, Pravda made the plight of the Soviet even plainer to the communist in the street, by comparing Russias production with capitalistic America. The picto- gram, headed Production, is based on Pravda's comparison.
