University High Cagers Too
Strong For Roosevelt Team

University Highs basketball
quintet was entirely too powerful
for the Rough Riders of Roosevelt
Friday night, as they handed them
their worst loss of the season.
Showed under by a 1920 count, the
local boys could do very little
against the visitors who at present
appear to be the chief contenders
for the championship OF the Huron
League.
No member of the Roosevelt
team was able to compile mote
than five points, while two of the
u. High players had totals in dou.
BILE figures. Brown led the visitors
with seven baskets and three foul
shots for II points, while Wike,
tailed four field goals and two
free throws for his total OF ten.
Roosevelts Reserves suffered a
slightly worse setback than that
which the varsity was forced to ac.
cept, as they dropped a very one
sided affair to L. High by a 1919
score. Sudrez, with IS points. led
the winners, while the scoring was
evenly divided among the Rough
Riders.

Has Joe Lost Punch
or is Burman Good

New York, Feb. l-AP-Cham.
pion Joe Louis stands out today as
the greatest question mark in
heavyweight history after his
knockout victory over lion.hearted
Red Burman.
The Detroit negro belted out Bur.
man of Baltimore in the fifth round
last night before lS.061 fans at
Madison Square Garden with a
right hook to the belly.
But. before he achieved his 18th
successful title defense, Louis per-
Torrance was such that experts and
fans agreed: az Louis has lost his
punch, or (2) Burman is far more
rugged than his record indicates.
The Brown Bomber, enjoying
every physical advantage, hit his
smaller challenger flush on the
chin 22 times with right and left
Sunday punches" but nothing hap
pened. Finally--a blow in an unex-
pected quarter was required to put
Burman away.

der.
Senator George. Democrat, of

to be largely bluffing." He con-
ceded that the japanese might move
on Thailand but indicated his be-

I'D to the Toxic government and
that any further aggressive gestures
by that government will bring i'm
mediate complementary action here.
Seemingly desirous of avoiding
the precipitation of actual war IN
the Pacific area. the Chief Execu-
tive disclosed the United States posi-
ton on arming of merchant ships in
a formal statement read to his press
conference. In the reading he en-
phasized that the decision prevails
only under existing circumstances.
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
announced that cargo ships sailing
on routes between the United States
and ports of Spain. Portugal and
their adjacent island possessions
also will not be armed and fur
ther broadened this non-combat
condition for vessels in er-Amer-
lean trade with Central and South
american ports.
Up to the time of revising the
Neutrality Act and the wiping out
Of the restricted combat zones, Por-
tuguese ports were the only entry
for American shipping into Europe.
IT has been generally considered ad-
vantageous not only to this country
but to all of Europes belligerents
to leave relatively safe this one ship
ping lane between the United States
and Europe. The decision today
not to arm vessels going to those
ports evidently is calculated to
carry on this understanding.
Mr.. Roosevelt made it clear in a
long press conference, however, that
this Government considers the cur
rent Pacific crisis as the most seri-
Gus problem now being faced. After
emphasizing his declaration that
merchant ships will not now be
armed in the Pacific, the President
was asked how long he expects the
present conditions to prevail.
His answer was that the question
should be answered at Toxic rather
than at Washington.

To further question OF whether
recent japanese = American con-
versations have been terminated, Mr.
Roosevelt replied that they have not

makes further clear that there will
be no retreat from this position.
Asked this morning if there had
been any reply as yet from Toxic.
the President said there had not and
added that there were no new de-
velopments or factors pertinent to
the issue arising from his 45-minute
consultation yesterday with Secre-
tary Hull and the Japanese spokes-
men Ambassador Nomura and Sue-
cial Envoy Kurusu.
1t Is known from authoritative
governmental sources here that the
Daslc objective of Washington is TO
block any further Japanese aggres-
sion in the Far East and at the
same time continue every possible
effort to restore the pre-war status
OF China and of Indo-China.
With strong japanese forces al
ready believed poised for an attack
upon Thailand. this Government is
obviously moving with extreme cau-
ton in its efforts to avoid precipi-
tating the actual assault or blackirg
out what little prospect remains for
restoration of peace in the Pacific.
1t is further known that there was
intense irritation here at the jap
anese action of moving an expedi-
tionary force into Indo- China
earlier this year at the very time
that the Toxic and Washington
governments were discussing pros
poets of peace in the Far East.
These earlier conversations like
wise embraced the question of a
permanent understanding for non-
aggression and restoration of nor
NAL relations between the United
States and Japan. Mutual access
to essential raw materials likewise
was involved.
The concern at the. Japanese ac-
ton was based largely on the parallel
between what are called Hitler
methods and the manner of the
japanese movement. 1t is pointed
out that the Philippine Islands,
under the American flag. are in the
position of being encircled with
Japanese forces in China on the
west, in inundated islands on the
east and in the japanese islands
themselves to the north. In similar
fashion, 1t is recalled. German
armies were filtered into Rumania
end Hungary before attacking Yugo-
slavla and Greece.
A broadening of the present JAP
anese policy of aggression to affect
the entire Pacific would be of ex-
tremely grave concern to American
interests in defense.
