Arthur I. Scott. The Dctroi
Observation-Disclosures who on Friday
walked across the Detroit River
in his new water-walking suit
Saturday heard some of his claim,
amiably disputed by a buff ano
hearty lake captain who also has
perfected a water suit.
The diSputant is CaB, Harry l.
Beauvais. skipper Of the freighter
John J. O'IIagan of Buffalo.
CAPTAIN BeauVaiS sSayS that
while his suit is not designed pri-
marilv for walking in the water,
he can sort of half-Swim. half

and of course, remain perfectly
dry.
Both water suits. reporters dis

Beauvais' boat, are quite similar.
leubberized Cloth
Both are of rubberizcd cloth
covering the entire body and hood
ing the head. The Beauvais gar
.ment involves the use of a
regulation lifebelt. the Scott en-
semble has huilt-in copper air cells
for buoyancy.
The latter suit also has weighted
feet to keep the water-walker up
right and fins 10 help him walk
The BeauVaiS suit does not have
these.
Captain Beauvais' demonstration
'of the Beauvais water ensemble
was impressive
He strapped on his life belt
donned his suit and zippered il
tight as he stood on the deck near
OHagan's bridge, 30 feet above
the water.

man, III be seeing you"
He clambered over the rail and
walked out on TO thin air There
was a grand splash. Presently he
came up and showed how he
could swim. float, stand upright
or paddle around. meanwhile re-

Warmth was his chief aim in
designing his suit, said Captain

France from active collaboration

The President expressed his open
disapproval of such course In
statement following closely on the

Charging that Hitler was muir
dering democracy" Herbert S. Agar,
editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, told a Nation-w radio
audience last night that the United
States should enter the war.
He was supported by Corporation
Counsel William c. Chanler of New
York City, who asserted that this
country should get into the war
ito keep Hitler and Japan out Of
our oceans"
Lined up on the other side of the
debate on Theodore Crank S
American Forum of the Air"
broadcast we're Senators Clark,
Democrat, of Idaho. and Brooks,
Republican, of Illinois.
Senator Clark contended Amer
ica's entry into the war not only
would fail to save democracy abroad,
but would destroy it forever at home
English Called Realists.
Denying that England was fight
ing our fight" Senator Clark de-
clared that "the English are real
lists, patriotic realists. and are not
group of sentimental adolesCents
such as so many Americans seem to
be today"
Senator Brooks asserted this
country was not prepared to enter
the war because its ships are not
properly armored to protect them
from bombs released from the sky
and the Regular Army and Marines
are not properly trained in modern
bltzkrieg warfare in sufficient num-
bers to launch an offensive cam
paign on foreign shores.
Mr.. Agar described the war as
''the military phase of world revo-
luton" and added, mo one can
stay out of a world revolution; our
choice is to accept it or resist it.
Nazi Plunder System Cited.
The Nazis, he said, have perfected
a system of making war pay for
itself and "the system will work only
so long as the war can spread"
"A nation whose imports are
gained by plunder can set no limits
to its conquests," he added. 1T must
expand or die"
Mr.. Chanler warned that the mo-
ment the United States allows the
dictator nations to gain control
of the seas by conquering the Brit

American isolation-yes, and the

Sabotage Is Denied
In Jersey City Fire.;
Loss S25,O00,000
24-Hour BIoze Rovoees
Eight Blocks Along
Water Front
By the Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., June a.
Blackened rubble and heat-twisted
steelwork held the secret today of
the cause of a 24-hour fire that
ravaged eight blocks along the Jer-
sey City waterfront, but the police,
Coast Guard and Federal Bureau
of Investigation expressed belief
that it definitely was not sabotage.
Fire Chief Frank Ertle, who esti-
mated the damage at $4,000, 900,
told newsmen to put sabotage ideas
out of your mind" adding that the
fire could have started from .
carelessly- tossed cigarette.
J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. chief,
who also discounted the sabotage
possibility, said in Omaha, Nebr.,
that there were no national defense
materials destroyed.
The fire broke out Saturday after
noon in a stock yard and was not
extinguished until after the flames
had mus shroomed spectacularly
through the waterfront area be-
tween Sixth street and Pavonia
avenue.
Several hundred head of cattle
perished, and the fire destroyed an
eight-story grain elevator and en-
gine house, two-story cattle pen
and hay loft of the Jersey City
Stock Yards Co., large milk plat
form, nine barges, is freight cars
and two automobiles.
In addition. the fire caused ex-
tensive damage to 400-by -200-foot
warehouse operated by the Mid
town Hudson Co., six ferry slips
of the Erie Railroad and a covered
railroad spur.
Complete inventory of the con-
tents of the warehouse still was
lacking last night. but preliminary
checkup showed it was bulging with
crude rubber, oil, bales of paper,
tool steel. alcohol, Scotch whiskey
and chemicals.
1t was the second large dockyard
fire within a week in the New York
port area. Freight cars and equip
ment owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad valued at 100000 burned

tempting to negotiate peace were
heard at the Capitol.
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado told reporters he thought
the sooner that peace was estab-
lished the better the terms on
which Great Britain and Germany
could agree.
Agreeing with Senator johnson,
Senator Clark, Democrat, OF Idaho
said it was his belief that the
United States, instead of talking
war, ought to be talking peace
Senator johnson said he intended
to revive soon a resolution he has
introduced which would put Con-
gress on record as requesting the
President to take the leadership in
urging neutral nations to unite in
seeking to negotiate a peace.
Declaring he would support this
resolution "whole-heartedly," Sena-
tor Clark said he believed such a
peace would give the United States
an opportunity to build up its de-
fenses against attack that row was
denied because of the large amount
of military equipment which was
being furnished to Great Britain.

Germany for Decades Has Planned Domination
OfWor|d by Control of Seas, Van Poossen Says

Gibraltar. I call 1t formality be-
cause. with virtually the entire
coastline of the Mediterranean in
Germany's hands or in the hands of
Germany's partners-Italy, Spain
and France-the British Navy will
be rendered impOtent. Indeed, what
ever British naval units happen to
be in any part of the Mediterranean
when Germany locks the exits will
be trapped. or will have to fight
their way out under particularly per-
ilous circumstances.
While the Mediterranean battle
is still unfolding the Pacific and At
lantic battles have already begun.
1t is, however, quite obvious that
the Pacific battle cannot enter it's
final stage before the battle of the
Mediterranean Is successfully con-
cluded. Nor can the battle of the
Atlantic proceed much further until
Gibraltar Is under German control.
Geopolitical views are extremely
flexible concerning the sequence of
the battles of the Pacific and the
Atlantic. They are guided by the
measure of political and military re-
sistance. Thus, any political weak
ness on the part of Washington in
the Pacific would Immediately ac-
celerate the strategic plans in that
ocean. On the other hand, any sign
of decline of morale on the British
Isles would undoubtedly bring about
a supreme effort on Hitler's part to
administer the coup de grace in the
Atlantic first. But whether the war
of the oceans, after the Mediterran-
can interlude, proceeds full force to
the Pacific or to the Atlantic is rel
atively unimportant. The fate of
the United States is at stake in
either event.
African Conquest Important.
In the battle of the Pacific. the
African conquest assumes extraor-
binary Importance, because its stra-
tegic significance spills over into
the battle of the Atlantic. Nazi
domination over Africa ipso facto
places the entire eastern shore of
the Atlantic, from Cape Town to
Trundheim with the exception of
the English isle) under the aerial
and submarine control of Hitler's
war machine. Besides, it paves the
way for a final contest with the
United States for preponderant in
fuence over South America. The
distance from Dakar to Natal. for
instance, is less than half that from
New York to the Brazilian port.
And what an excellent take-off
point Africa represents for a close
political rapprochement with South
Americal
All the signs indicate a strong
hand 'good-neighbor policy" be-
tween Hitler and the South Ameri-
can republics. But whatever type
of political pressure Hitler uses
against the United States via South
America, one incontrovertible fact
will then be understood even by
those who answer all arguments
about the Nazi danger to America
with that phrase about 5000 miles
of Atlantic Ocean: That fact is
that the wave of the future" with
Hitler riding it, will be beating vio-
lently against the Western Hem
isphere. The war of the oceans
will be right at our own front door.

The sooner the leaders and the
peoples of the few remaining free
countries understand the gigantic
scope and pattern of the present
hostilities. the more chance there
will be of stopping Hitler.
The first principle we must recog-
nize is that the Nazi army is on the
march to defeat the British navy.
| This is the war of the oceans, ard
Hitler is winning that war without
a navy
The war of the oceans is the plan
of the Geopolitical Institute of Ger
many, the Reich's political and mill
tary planning academy.
The Geopolitical Institute was
discovered by America-in 1889!
Actually it has existed since 1897,
and its theology has fermented In
the minds of German political
thinkers since 1870. 1t Is signlfl-
cant that we were more than four
decades late in recognizing the fact

the world.
Ratzers Formula.
Friedrich Ratzel, who died In
1904, and who is today glorifled by
eeopoliticians as the pioneer OF the
oceanographic movement, is cred
tied with influencing Kaiser Will
helm in his naval ambitions. Rat
zel's formula can be expressed as
follows:
The world is Y per cent water
and % per cent land. Any power
that aims to dominate the world
must control its waterways. The
oceans-not the land-inf1uence his
torical changes. If the Germans are
to fulfill their destiny and become
the masters of the world, they must
reinforce their invincible army with
lust as powerful a fleet. This means
that they must either make Britain
their ally and partner or, II that
should prove impossible, compel the
British to surrender their fleet and
shipbuilding wharves. Nothing can

Louis Greatest Gamble
Is With His Hands
By GRANTLAND RICE,

optSldI SO!ItSptIlueLl VI 1 ne SLdI.
When any one mentions gamble"
in connection with the various Joe
Louis enterprises, the responding
answer likely is to be in the nature
of a hoarse guffaw. The Bomber
usually is lilo shot, or even
shorter, which leans more in the
sure thing direction than any
gamble.
Yet the gamble still is there in this
uncertain world
The Louis crown is worth around
$4,000 000-as long as Louis wears
it. In his last start against Abe
Simon in Detroit, the champion
raked in a trifle under $4,000. So
he was gambling a S3000,000 title
against a $4,000 collection, with
the odds at 1-150, a price few would
care to offer in any form Of compe-
tition
No one rated Simon with chance
to whip Louis But in taking nu-
merous whacks and smashcs at Abe's
granite chin, suppose Louis had
cracked one or both paws?
When you are leveling against
Simon jaw, hooked to 255 pounds
of human flesh and bone, only a
pair of tough hands can stand the
teet
