We like it out on a limb, so here
we go.
1t is our opinion that Sgt. Joe
Louis will not command the respect
that a superior officer should
come October II when he Chambers
through the ropes to face his in
ferior lin rank, Pvt. Billy Conn in
the heavy title bout for service mems
relief.
Although we have heard it voiced
that Beltin' Joe will salt away the
Eoung IriShman early as he did a
certain Nazi by the name of Schmel-
ing in a return bout, we cannot
agree
Young Conn has learned much
since that fateful night when he
became just a trifle careless i'm
the 18th round after leading Louis
by large point margin. Among
other things Conn has probably
picked up a few commando tao
ties from kitchen battles with mis-
father-in-law, James Smith, which
Louis has not had the chance to
do while nursing equines in the
u. S. cavalry.
oh" we have heard it said, he'll
put Conn to sleep SO fast that it
will make the one-round Schmeling
Knockout seem like an eternity.
Pooh! Conn won't give him a
chance. We won't go SO far out on
the limb, however, that it will break
under US. Well just say that Louis
WILL NOT knock Pvt. Billy out in
the first few rounds and will not
win at all unless he can tire the
handsome Pittsburgh boy in the
final frames and is able to tag him
with a lucky punch.
Naturally Louis greater weight
gives him the decided advantage in
power, but what good is power if
you can't use it? Conn hasn't been
stressing his rhumba lessons since
the last braWl for nothing.
May we have this dance?
Fordham's coach, Earl Walsh, has

NEW YORK, February 12.-Cecil
Brown, radio correspondent, who
was censored of the air by the
British authorities at Singapore as
a detriment to morale because of his
charges that the British were COM
placent, was back on the air last
night for the first time since then
and, through the Australian censor
ship at Sydney, broadcast his
charges In detail.
1.-THE tragic story Of Singapore"
said Mr.. Brown Of the c. B. s., els
not all one of Japanese numerical
superiority, fanatical courage and
brilliant military scheming. The
japanese are at Singapore also be-
cause of what the British failed to
forsee, prepare for and meet at the
crucial moment"
Before December the British
thought a Japanese attack was un-
believable, said Mr.. Brown, adding
they neglected to train their SOL
diers for jungle fighting, were un-
able to distinguish between Chinese
and Japanese and permitted estab-
ushment Of what he called an amaz.
ing fifth column organization in
Malaga.
After the japanese attack, Mr..
Brown continued, the British failed
to carry out the "Scorched earth"
policy despite assertions to the con-
trary, and they created consider.

war as virtually . hgment Of the
ofncial imagination.
Vast storehouses Of food were left
untouched for the Japanese. Sam
pans, boats, barges, and even steam
ers were undamaged. At Penang, the
British military authorities ordered
the evacuation without consulting
the government. They refused to
evacuate anyone except Europeans.
AL Chinese, Malays and Indians
were left to their fate.
That was the beginning Of con-
siderable difnculties with the natives
In Malaga.
Treasury Left Intact.
AT Penang, the treasury was left
intact with more than a quarter Of
million dollars and when the
Japanese walked into Penang they
simply threw a switch in the radio
station and began broadcasting.
while 1t was stated that the
British were destroying everything
In the path Of their retreat, facts
told . different story. To give one
instance. it was announced they
destroyed everything at Kuantan
airdrome On the east coast. Two
days later the r. A. r. was sent over
to bomb the undamaged hangars

surface raiders will then operate in
the Indian Ocean.
The position of Rangoon, and
therefore supplies to the Chinese,
will become critical. Dutch Su.
matra may be taken and the fate Of
Java will be decided in the next
three Of four weeks.
Prom what I've seen Of Japanese
driving power and Allied man power
and equipment to meet it, Australia
will be attacked in the very near
future. I've talked with dozens Of
American bomber and fighter pilots
in the N. E. I. and others who got
out Of the Philippines. Every one
of them said in just these words:
For Gods sake, tell them to send
us some aircraft. In every engage
ment we're outnumbered so and 100
to j.
"At Singapore, the entire British,
Australian and Indian garrison will
either fight to the last man or sur
render. I do not believe there will
be a Dunkerque from Singapore.
The imperial forces there will fight
and die with great courage. They
have that capacity and it has been
the main weapon Of the soldier In
Malaga.
Here, In brief, are q few Of the
reasons why the Japanese are at
Singapore.
'The British authorities were con-
fident that the Japanese would not
dare attack Great Britain. When
the Japanese did attack they we're
so stunned and unprepared that the
British, unless reinforced, at no time
stood . chance OF holding the jap
anese advance despite the omcial
statements to the contrary. The
British troops were subjected from
the first day Of the war down to this
moment to unceasing dive-bombing
and machine ginning attacks. No
courage In the world can stand that
indefinitely.
In the first month of the war
the troops were without protection
from British fighters.
"Only three weeks before the out
break Of the war did the British
military discover that Bren gun
carriers and small tanks could ne
gotiate water-covered rice fields.
That required a change in defensive
tactics, which had been based on
depending on jungles and rice fields
to protect their danks.
"The British were heavily out
numbered and unable to stop the
japanese inf1ltration attacks. The
troops were not adequately trained
for jungle fighting and could not
adapt themselves in q few weeks.
The British commanders judged
what the Japanese would do by
what they would do II in the jap
anese position.
IAN amazing nth column organ
ization had been established in
Malaga. One ofiicer said he gave
the nth columnists IS per cent
Of the credit for the japanese sue
cess. He put the scorched-earth
policy the first four weeks Of the

able dimculties' with the natives in
Malaga by favoring Europeans In
the evacuation of the Island of
Penang.
Sees Early Fall Of Singapore.
Mr.. Brown, declaring that "at no
point are the japanese being held
by the Allied forces" predicted the
fall Of Singapore city in from "a to
72 hours, said Dutch Sumatra may
be taken, that the fate of Java
would be decided within a month,
and that Australia will be attacked
in the very near future"
Mr.. Brown arrived in Sydney by
airplane from Batavia, capital Of
the Netherlands Indies.
In this first broadcast by Mr..
Brown since he was banned in Sim
gapore he said:
II just arrived in Sydney from
Singapore and Batavia. flew 1,100
miles from Java to Darwin in q
navy bomber and then In an army
bomber 1900 miles from Darwin to
Brisbane, over an area that may
decide the fate of the Pacific war.
Those are great distances, but
from my observation of operations
out here, they may not mean much
to the Japanese attackers. The
picture In the Pacific is very far
from optimistic.
AT no point are the japanese
being held by the Allied forces.
Singapore very probably will be
in japanese hands in the next ~ to
72 hours. Japanese submarines and

400,0O0.Ton Yearly Output

Production Lord Beaverbrook told
the House Of Lords today that the
Washington Combined Raw Mate
rails Board plans to produce 400
900 tons Of synthetic rubber an
nually, Of which Britain expects
to get $4,000 tons.
British war factories "in the
space of six or seven months" have
doubled the output Of finished ma
terials, Lord Beaverbrook said.
Last weeks tank production, after
Sir Andrew Rae Duncan became the
new Minister Of Supply, was the
largest since the beginning Of the
war, he told the Lords.
Promises of material aid to Rus
sia, he declared, were fulfilled up to
January 81, with the exception Of
one tank" British tanks played "a
very big part in the defense Of
Moscow" Lord Beaverbrook said,
adding, but we must send Russia

and the Japanese aircraft already
using the field.
up until the day Of the war, the
colonial administration was unable
to distinguish between Japanese as
potential enemies and the Chinese
as allies. Prominent Chinese at the
outbreak Of the war beseeched the
British to give them guns to help
fight. A Chinese battalion was re-
cruited 10 days ago.
AT the time the authorities
banned me from broadcasting
through Singapore, the head Of
military intelligence said that civil
ian morale could win or lose the
battle Of Singapore. Every Amer
lean and British correspondent there
affirmed that censorship in Singa-
pore did everything possible to hide
the situation from those civilians
expected to fight the battle for
Singapore.
THE tragic story Of Singapore is
not all one Of Japanese numerical
superiority, fanatical courage and
brilliant military scheming. The
japanese are at Singapore also be-
