Economic Warfare
Blamed by Toxic
For Indies Failure
Trade Requests Called
Reasonable in View of
Third Power Rights
Fy the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 18.-The situation
created by "sn intensification of
economic warfare" was blamed to-
day by japanese government
spokesman for a breakdown in ne
gotiations in which Japan sought
greater share in the rich re-
sources of the Netherlands Indies.
Describing the japanese requests
as very reasonable" in view of the
economic concessions enjoyed by
third powers in the Indies, Koh
Ishii, cabinet information bureau
spokesman, declared:
IF such requests were
dealt with on the basis of promot-
ing economic cooperation between
Japan and the Netherlands Indies
the solution of these questions would
be very simple.
However, with the intensication
of economic warfare, the situation
surrounding the Indies has made
smooth progress of the negotia-
tions difficult"
Ishii'S views were expressed in a
long statement which reviewed the
progress of the trade talks begun
more than a year ago and which
reiterated his assertion yesterday
that normal relations between
Japan and the Indies will by no
means be affected by discontinuance
of the negotiations.
The United States and Britain
were not blamed specifically in the
statement for failure of the nego-
tiations.
Japan said its requests of the
Dutch were:
Acquisition of material goods.
general trade promotion, entry of
japanese into the Indies, pursuit OF
occupation, investments in the en-
terprises of shipping, aviation and
communications especially avia-
ton connections as they already are
being carried on between third pow
ers and the Indies"-and invest
ments in enterprises such as "the
oil industry where Anglo-American
capital has been showing remark
able activities"

Idea That War Can't
Settle Anything Called
by FrankfuheI
Theory Thot Conflict
Means Dictatorship Hit
As Drug for the Mind
By the Associated Press.

bS the ASSOcldleO PTeSS.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 18.-
Associate Justice Frankfurter of the
Supreme Court held today that it
is fallacious to believe that war
never settles anything"
Hitting at "paralyzing evasions of
thought" he said in an address pre-
pared for Radcliffe Colleges 58th
commencement:
The Civil War settled slavery
This war will settle the quality of
your lives and your childrens lives.
Il respect the convictions of a
conscientious objector to war and 1
believe I understand the philosophy
underlying Gandhi's non-resistance, +"
he continued. But the relentless
choice events may force on every
individual cannot be met by such a
fair-sounding pernicious abstraction
as that war never settles anything "
Justice Frankfurter said another
favorite drug for the mind" is the
claim that a country at war is
already under dictatorship.
Democracy in this country has
expanded despite four wars" he
said.
And only those unfamiliar with
what has taken place in Great
Britain since September. 1899, will
deny that England is more demo-
cratic today than she has ever been.
BY that I mean very specifically
that her present government is
more responsive to the will of the
common people, although, to be sure,
that will has imposed sef-restraints
not required in times of peace.
Il recommend to any doubter of
the alertness Of British democracy
a reading of the debates in the
House of Commons since this war
began"

(Umited Press Sports EditoR)
 New York, Aug. 28-(UP)-Frank KovacS is back in the groove gain.
 Things are looking I'D for the na- tional tennis champio ionshipS at For- est Hills, for the king of the screw- balls has forgotten all his prom ises to reform. He's going to be the same waclIy, delightful guy that he always has been and the gate at the West Side Tennis club in For est Hills ought to pick up at least 25 per cent.
 It couldn't have bee nmcre than 10 days ago that Kovacs said he was going to cut out the clowning. Your agent composed 500 words of im- mortal prose announcing Kovacst decision and stating that it was shame for such a genius to do nothing on a tennis court except play tennis. What a man he was in the good old days when he staged sit-down strikes on the court, waved at blondes while forehands waistled past his ears, and, in general, de- lighted the spectators and infuriated the brass hats of tennis.
 Recently KovacST committed mat rimony with Miss Virginia Wolfen- den, also tennis player, and the general assumption was that mar riage had callned him down and impaired his superb sense of humor We'll, the honeymoon must be over for Kovacs summoned the press in Boston yesterday and announced:
 l. That he was going to win the national singles championship &t Forest Hills.
 2. That he had perfected a new and revolutionary forehand with which no mortal man could cope.
 The new shot is called, so help me, "the cosmic forehand." It probs ably is from the same family tree as the "cosmic punch" with which Lou Nova has announced he will blast Joe Louis off the heavyweight throne.
 ScrewbaII Stuff
 Listen while K0vacs gets back in the groove and gives off in his best 0ld-time form:
 T waltz into the ball. The bal! shoots straight across the net and drops on the far baseline when hit by the cosmic stroke. I borrow force from the other players stroke and return the ball with little ef- fort"
 Alta boy. Frankie, pour 1t on 'ern. KovacS needs no one to supply him

with waclxy ideas, heaven knows, but how much would you pay to see him carry 8 photograph onto the court at Forest Hills and play . waltz say Two Hearts in Three-Q -Quartez Time" to be sure that his footwork and timing are right when he waltzes into the ball? And what . show he could put on next season when he plays mixed doubled with Mrs. K, and the two Of them waltz to the net, arm in arm, and smack one that kicks up chalk on the baseline! |
 There Is only one disappointing thing in Kovacs' return to old-time form-he is capable of thinking up things for himself and doesn't have to borrow from Lou Nova. Ap- parently, both the boys have the same general idea.
 But let's don't get involved iA that. Let's just go out to Fore$ Hills Saturday and cheer for Ko7 YacS.

WELTERWEICHTS TANGLE TONIGHT IN HEADLINE.R
King and DuInlaine in Semi-finaI; Cartegena
 Meets Miller
BY HUGO HOOKJAR

With the beneflt of some left handed Sparring partners for the past week, Manuel Villa of Mexico City is in rare form for his big op- portunity against Irish Eddie Dolan tonight at the Randolph Cloves Stadium, an eight round fight that Is apt to attract as many as 2,OO0 customers. Villa, in his own dogged, plodding way, has looked better every time he has shown here, and, after defeating Ernie Cat Robin son, followed up with B. Slashing draw against Carl Dell and then topped of his fine ring work with a win over Benny Montahana from Alabama, 6 lad who many thought had too much class for him, as is the situation with Dolan tonight.
 However, Villa defeated Monta- bana, after a slow start when he got . tooth-rattling left hook work ing and by a steady, two-fisted body attack wore Montabana down to a grazzle. Now, who is there to say he cannot do the same thing to Dolan, who will be a strong fav- orite to win, but then Robinson was a heavy choice to manhandle Villa, before anyone got good look at the former Mexican matador, who is as tough as a boarding -house steak and is about as easy to knock down as the Statute of Liberty.
 At any rate Dolan must be picked to win, but Villa is just. the sort of gent who could provide the upset of the year in this state, at least.
 Very Promising!
 Cotton King and Leo Dulmaine from Florida and Massachusetts should give the fans something to cheer about for both boys have more "class" than your favorite school teacher. Then again, both scored one round knockouts their last time out, and the writer, having seen both of them, can say they were sensational. Dulmaine hit the reck first in his fight with Billy Augustus at Manchester last week, but got up, spared a bit, and shot right to the jaw that chilled the ebony hued Augustus as if he was struck by lightning
 Therefore, King and Dulmaine figure to be very much worth while when they get their hands up this evening, as both lads are fast, clever boxers and can punch with either hand. In short, they are ideal boxers and, against each other, should pro- vide an ideal bout.
 Other Bouts
 Neil Miller of Wilkes Barre and Benny Cartegena of New York are down for . sixer which may have a kayo ending: Freddy Lewis of Wilkes1Barre will meet a suitable opponentn, Tom Collins having been injured while at work yesterday; and Art Tatta of New Haven meets Pete Convaris of New York, in a four round go that will open the show, at 8:30 p. m.

 AMATEUR GOLF
Defending Champ, Chap. man, First Round Victim:
 Yates, Strafaci Beaten
BY JOsEPH .. HEARsr

Limited Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 Field Club, Omaha, Neb., Aug. % --(UP-Having put the blight on their famous competitors in the first two rounds, a bunch of un- knowns took over the National Amateur Golf tournament today.
 Sixteen remained as the third round of match play opened, but only four were golfers whose names are familiar In national records.
 Gone, after one of the widest opening rounds in years, was Dick Chapman of Mamaroneck, N. Y,, the winner last year, Johnny Good man of Omaha, and Johnny Fis- cher of Cincinnati, Ohio, former champions.
 Stewart (Skip) Alexander, Bur- lington, N. C., who rifled them down the middle the first two days to win the medal, wound up yes- terday firing like 8 Scattergun, and he, too, became spectator.
 The four young veterans of other nationals still figuring for top hon. ors were led by Marvin H. (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash, winner two years ago and favorite in the upper bracket.
 Harry Todd, the long hitter from Dallas, Texas, and low amateur in the National Open; Pat Abbott of Pacific Palisades, Cal, 8 one-time finalist, and Ray Pillows of Pough. keepsie, N. r., twice a finalist. were the old hands in the lower bracket.
 Ward, who was two under par for the g holes he played yester- day, today meets Glenn Oatman of Kansas City, Mo. Oatman played only 26 holes to win his first two matches and shot one under par golf doing it.
 Sensational
 Skee Riegel of Glendale. Cal. former West Point football player and now free-lance movie writer, held the hottest hand for nine holes yesterday. He shot e g, four under par, to eliminate Grover Poole of Raleigh, N. C., 6 and s. Riegel plays Bruce Mccormick, Glendale. Cal, fireman.
 Todd plays Abbott and probably will find the going rougher than yesterday when he dominated his second round match so thoroughly that his opponent, Matthew zad- alis of Ralston, Neb., threw in the sponge on the 10th, where he was eight down.
 The army, which sent three rep- resentatives. Chapman, Frank Stra- faci, and Charley Yates, was out maneuvered. Lou Jennings, Port land, Ore, bank clerk, took care of Chapman; Steve Kovach, Taren- tum, Pa, steel worker, busted Yates, and Walter Burkemo of Evanston, H., eliminated Strafaci.
 Kovach meets Harry Haverstick of Lancaster, Pa, who put Alex ander away, and Burkemo plays Bob Riegel of Houston, Texas, in other upper bracket matches.
 Pillows. White
 The lower bracket. in addition to the Todd Abbott match, has Bil- lows playing Neil White of Port Chester, N. Y.; Jennings meeting Bob Cochran of Normandy. Mo, who won one match on the 18th green yesterday and another on the 18th, and Hal Stone of Blooming ton, Ill, playing Ted Bishop of Auburndale, Mass.
 The eight morning winners will play fourth-round matches this af- ternoon, cutting the field to four.
