 John Mortimer. who had Wat son and Tom Heeney before him, called it a 'orrible hinjustice, but the thing didn't annoy the saeman.
 He could fight a bit at the time and had to work out, anyway. He came through with something to spare, beat LaBarba, who substi. tuted for Chocolate and then gave the Cuban keed a fair sort of an engagement.
 So Boon. provided he can fight. won't mind being tossed into a tune-up before the main event when he gets Q leave of absence from the Royal Air Force and comes over to take n crack at Armstrong.
 And. as blunt Bill Brown points out. if he cant fight there's no earthly reason why he should be stuffed down the public's throat as an opponent for a real cham pion like Henry Armstrong.

Defense Necessary
"Surely," said the President, mea'
surfing his words and delivering
them with marked elaboration, the
developments of the past few weeks
have made it clear to all of our c1tl-
zens that the possibility of attack on
vital American zones ought to make
it. essential that we have the physl-
cal, the ready ability to meet those
attacks and to prevent them from
reaching their objective.
This means military implements
not on paper-which r ready and
available to meet any lightning Of
fensive against u American inter-
est. It means also that facilities for
production must be ready to turn
out munitions and equipment at top
speed.
1--WE have had the lesson before us
over and over again-nations that
were not ready and were unable to
get ready found themselves overrun
by the enemy. So-called impreg-
nable Notifications no longer exist.
A defense which allows an enemy to
consolidate his approach without hin
drance will lose. A defense which
makes no effective effort to destroy
the lines of supplies and communi-
cations of the enemy will lose.
An effective defense by its very
nature requires the equipment to at.

ports of the French coast oppo-
site Britain's shores,
These craft are troop conveys

under the protection of big Ger
man guns set up on the French
coast.
mo one should blind himself to
the fact that this German invasion
is being planned with all the Ger

istic of them," he declared.
England Is Ready
Next week, he said, must be re-
garded as a very important one
for US in our history. Every man
and woman must prepare to do his
duty whatever 1t may be. Special
pride may be taken in the fact
that our fleet is very powerful.
our shores well fortified and well
manned behind these lines by q
better equipped and far stronger
army than ever before"
Churchill compared the pending
invasion with the attempt Of the
Spanish armada to invade the Brit
ish Isles and the later attempt OF
Napoleon.
Brutality Assailed
Hitler, Churchill said, "ignited a
fire which will burn with steady
flame until the last vestiges uf
Nazi tyranny and brutality have
been wiped out and the old and
new worlds join their great forces
to build that which has been de-
stroyed."
Turning to the effects of air
raids on London, Churchill said
all the world marvels at the cour-
age and fortitude of the people
who are withstanding these at
tackS.
The Royal Air Force, he said, is
stronger than at the start of the
air invasion, while the Nazi force
is being worn down.
Hitler's attempt to invade Brit
ain without gaining mastery ct

dertaking,' he said.

He added, however, that Ger
many is preparing such an invasion
and that some preparations are
being made to carry an invading
force from Norwegian waters.
If the invasion is to be tried
at all, he said. it must come soon

RAIDERS FAILING
TO FIND TARGETS
ASSERTS OBSERVER

LONDON. Sept. IL. - A British
military observer says that the
Nazi raiders SO far have failed to
find familiar initial targets after
three nights of favorable flying con-
ditions over England.
The observer went on to say that
the first vanguard of the Nazi
raiders are more experienced than
those that follow up. The observer
said that the first Nazi squadrons
apparently seek to set big fires in
the London area which are to act
as sign posts for the squadrons to
follow. But, the observer said, that
so far, the tactics have not been
successful. He added that the bomb
ing tactics of the follow-up Nazi
squadrons has been very inaccu-
rate since Sunday night. He pre-
dicted that the reason probably is
due, to the fact that younger and
less experienced filters were being
used in the rear guard.
