the history Of the game by his
Iunblemished record in 80 amateur
and % professional fights. But
that alone doesn't explain the
picture.
HE CAN PUNCH
Those willing 10 back the pop
ular Duke of Windsor believe he
has more than a chance to upset
4 the picture. And here. in brief, is
the case for Harvey Dubs:
First, he can punch. He's
knocked out IS OF 43 opponents,
a record almost as impressive as
that of the Harlem Hurricane who
has wo n23 of his % fights via
the kayo route.
Second, Dubs can box the slug
gers. He demonstrated that in
gaining d ecisions over Tony
Petroskey. who knocked ou I
Fritzie Civic, and over Jess Acker-
man, who knocked out the clever
Milt Aron. Dubs also fought a
draw with Willie Joyce. another
noted Negro mittster who knocked
out Lou Jenkins when he was
reaching his peak.
And finally. he has the psyche
logical advantage Of going after
his first and probably best oppor-
tunity TO hit the big time. II that
condition doesn't make him over
anxious and develop into a BOOM
erang, Ii may prove to be the most
factor in the fight.
LITTLE TROUBLE
It's no secret that Mike Jacobs
made the match to accommodate
Robinson and his manager, Curt
Hermann. The Harlem puncher,
who was born in Detroit, figures
to have no more trouble with Dubs
than he would with any favorite
son in any locality.
There's no reason why he should
be too troubled on his record,
which Is studded with victories
over lightweight champion Sammy
and Civic, former weller
champ. Jimmy Tygh, only fighter
both have met, was knocked out in

It may be news to you that all the Hevea rubber plantations in the Far. East tropics, including more than 9,0OO, ,0O0 acres now in Japanese hands, were developed from less than 300 Owild seedlings smuggled out of Brazil 66 years ago and planted on fewer than 10 acres of land.
 IA AMERICAN COUNTRIES
 CAN GROW RUBBER
 The Hevea rubber tree, which has supplied more than 98 per cent of the rubber consumed in the United States since 1926, can be grown successfully in at least IA Americacn republics from Mexico south to Bolivia.
 Qutnine, mans foremost defense against malaria and still the most important of therapeutics, is an- other native American resource. Like Hevea rubber and many other Latin American crop treasures, quinine was lifted completely around the earth and made cartel monopoly of the eastern tropics, particularly Java, and other far spaces which Japan has now seized.

 While rapidly extending the planting in several Central Amer ican areas, the company is already beginning harvest of first plant ings in order to fulfill crucial war neds. A solution of the rope short age is seen in the fact that the abaca plant reaches age within 18 months after planting.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 2.-The
American Legions National Execu-
tive Committee says ''isolationism is
dead" and there can be no assur-
ance of permanent national security
except through world security"
The committee, ending a two-day
meeting at headquarters yesterday,
adopted report to this effect from
the Legion's Co-ordinating Com
mittee, which had sounded out seven
other organizations on the subject.
The Executive Committee passed
to 1000 Legion posts the question
whether to let veterans of this war
into the World War veterans organ
ization.
Many Groups Consulted.
The Co-ordinating Committee,
proposing a thorough study of eco
nomfc, social and political problems
looking toward the postwar period,
said it had consulted the National
Grange, American Federation OF
Labor, National Association of
Manufacturers, Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks, Knights of
Columbus, B'nai Birth and the New
York Grand Lodge of Masons.
The report said nearly all these
organizations believed such a study
should be predicated ION an all-out
effort to win the war, and on the
further all-out effort to win and
hold peace after the war
"It was considered" the report
went on, that the last war proved
and that this war re-emphasizes:
That, whether we like it or not,
we are a part of the entire world;
that as nation we cannot escape
repercussions from mighty social,
economic and political upheavals
in any quarter of the world; that
isolationism is dead; that now is
the time to condition the public
mind for full acceptance of this
ineXorable fact.
Must Assume Responsibility.
That however complete the mil
itary victory may be we cannot win
the peace, we cannot provide aSsur-
ances to our people against periodic
repetition of our involvement in
world catastrophies, unless we as a
major nation recognize and assume
our responsibilities and take our
position of leadership in organizing
the world to establish and maintain
order; that there can be no aSsur-
ance of permanent national secur-
ity except through world security" !"
The executive group reafhrmed
its stand in favor of universal serv-
ice and asked that this principle

land"

The United States has ex-

Iraq and Iran, two Near Eastern
countries whose control is vital
to the position of the United
Nations in that part of the
world.
President Roosevelt today an
nounced he has found the defense

defense of the United States.
The Iranian government already

Iraq, however, has yet to give this
assurance. The Iraqi government
is to designate a minister plenipo-
tentiary to the United States and it
is expected that after he presents
his credentials he Will give the re-
quired assurances.
Iraq and Iran are oil countries
and both of them are generally con-
sidered as possible objectives of an

Control of Iraq was taken by the
British last spring after military dis
play which unseated the pro-Ger-
