BrlCaln would stand "unheSltaLlngly on the side of the United States If these hopes fail"
 "We don't need any help from Great Britain or anybody else" he said. We're able to take care of ourselves"
 Wheeler added that he didn't be- heve many Americans twill be in1- pressed" with the speech which, he charged, was designed to frighten the United States into the idea that we have got to get into the war now or else Hitler will get us"
 Rep. Sol. Bloom, D., N. Y, chair man of the house foreign affairs committee, said Churchill ."certainly has given new hope to the con- quered nations and to the enslaved people of the world.
 Surely no one can now doubt the real purpose and principles of the eight points of the Atlantic charter conceived by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill" he said.
 Two members of the senate foreign relations committee-Sens. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah and Arthur Capper, R., Kans.-supported the prime minister's stand on Japan.
 Japs Got Good Advice
 Capper ordinarily opposed to the administration, said Churchill gave the Japanese some pretty good ad- vice"
 Thomas commented that the statement gave notice to Japan that she must get herself out of the Rome-Berlin axis" Churchill's views in this connection, he added, were a "restatement of the whole American policy of non-recognition of conquest by force and consistent with what our policy has been in the Far East"
 There were no indications in the state department, meantime, that there would be any immediate less ening of economic restrictions re- gently imposed against Japan. Cur tailment of silk imports and doubling of the tariff on Japanese crabmeat were the latest in a series of moves designed to express this country's displeasure over any additional ex- pansion by the Far Eastern empire.
 Administration sources were silent on reports that Britain and the United States would engage in joint military-naval action if Japan made further attempts to enlarge its Asiatic domain. Some felt there was a possibility that MT. Roosevelt and Churchill may have decided or such a course.
 Some observers feared new crisi! might develop if Japan tries to stoI American war supplies en route tc Vladivostock, Siberia.

to join the Giants in a relatively lowly position for less money? Did someone tell him that sooner or later he was going to be the mana ger? That could be, you know. Even before he took over the Cubs, Hart nett was being talked about as the Giants manager.
 What adds to the blur of the picture is that Hartnett is MT. Terry's man. They get along swell. But it is no longer a secret that Mir. Terry is not exactly beloved in the front office. For two straight years he has finished in the second division. He's getting $42.500 year. You can get second division mana gers for $7,500. This plainly ex- plains what has happened to Mir. Terry and the front office. MT. Terry's contract has two years to go. including this one. Our guess is that he brought Hartnett in to help him pull the chestnuts out Of the fire. If hats so it's smart thinking and more power to him. Hartnett will get the press notices and Mir. Terry will get the new contract. and. like him or not, you'd have to say he deserved it.

BY JACK GUENTHER United Press stan Correspondent

United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)
 Anaheim, Calif, March 20-(Up) Out of the rag-bag collection of players who have occupied the lower rungs of the American League ladder for the past six years, Connie Mack has uncovered a combination which he believes will make the Philadelphia Ath- let'cs a threat in 1o4l.
 Not for almost a decade has base balls elder statesman come up with a team that had anything but hope, but this year Mack feels his club should be 50 per cent better than in le40.
 Specifically, he poitns to an al- most completely revamped infield; slightly augmented power in the outfield; one of the best catchers in the game and pitching staff which needs only a little luck.N
 At least two newcomers have won temporary spots in the in- field. They are Fred Chapman, purchased from Toronto to take over to short. and Pete Suder, drafted from Kansas City to cover third. The former Is 24 and batted 284: the latter Is year younger and hit .302. They will work with Dick Siebert, regular first base man, and either Benny Mccoy or Lawrence (Crash) Davis at second. Al Brancato, a hold-over will be fitted in as a utility man again. No decision has been made on Bob Kahle, conditionally purchased from Hollywood.
 Looks Good
 The As are well stocked in the outfield. From right to left are Wally Moses, Sam Chapman and Bob Jollnson-a three-some which accounted for 63 home runs last year. Moses led the squad with 1909 but is nursing a sore shoulder fol- lowing an auto accident He should be ready shortly after the season opens.
 Until he is, Wilson (Dee) Miles will play as regular. Miles batted 1902 in 87 games last season and will share relief duties with veteran Al Simmons, whose major chore is coaching. No final verdict has been reached on Eddie Collins, Jr
 Pitching can make or break the team. On the surface 1t doesn't look strong but no mound staff can scintillate in the games-won column with a team that finished the season in the cellar.
 John Babich, husky right-hander, is top man on the staff. He won l4 and lost l3 vast year. He will be aided by Nelson Potter. Loviu (Chubby) Dean and Lee Ross. To- gether this quartet amassed 34 triumphs In l940 without great deal of help
 Bolstering the mainstays are John Knott. who comes from Chi- cagos White Sox with Il won and nine lost in l940; Bill Beckman. No. 1 relifer: Herman Besse, Carl Miles and Porter Vaughn. At least two others will be retained to fill out staff of Il. They will be chosen from among Chalmers Harris from Atlanta; Rankin Johnson from MtO4dIId, 4SA'I dLll FIibl MdSCtAlQOll from Toronto.
 The catching is set. Frank Hayes, rated second only to Bill Dickey in the league will carry the heavy load behind the plate and at bat where his average was 1908 last year. He will be asisted by Harold Wagner and Earl Brucker, who also is coach.
