Many of Joe's foes have been
paralyzed by fear before they en-

was the first TO enter the ring. He
was unperturbed by the excite
ment generated by crowd OF
1901, which saw the fight.
When the opening bell sounded,
Red stepped right out to make a
fight of it. And he kept in there

had the courage. He was willing
TO make fight of it. But he was
sadly deficient in the ability to

Burman made it a good fight.
There never was any doubt as TO
the winner. but Red had to be
shown. He took all the title
holder had to offer and went down
only once, but when he hit the

journey to the canvas, he was
down to stay.

Eastern situa ton. ...
Editorials in the japanese press
expressed concern over United States
aid to Russia. One newspaper, Chu-
gai. asserted that even if British.
American supplies fail actually to
reach the Soviet, the fact cannot
be overlooked that it (aid to Rus
sia) has at least the effect of REIN
forcing Soviet troops in the Far
East"
Tshii's remarks on aid to Russia
followed his comments on Secretary
of State Hull's statement that the
japanese had not given a satisfac-
tory explanation concerning their
failure to let about 100 United
States citizens leave Japan aboard
the liner President Coolidge.
Other Inconvenience.
The problem of permitting the
Americans to leave the country
hinged. he said, on other inconven-
fences" in Japanese American rela-
tons. At first, he said. the United
States Embassy had asked to send
home % officials aboard the Presi-
dent Coolidge, and the Japanese
agreed. Later, however, the En-
bassy asked that a greater number
of Americans be permitted to leave
Japan on the same ship, he said.
This was contrary to past
promise" Ishii said. I'VE could not
accept. The Coolidge question is
only one of principle in keeping
promises"
At the same time reliable source
reported nine United States En-
bassy officials had been permitted
to go to Shanghai from where they
might arrange transportation to the
United States.
