Nippon Traits
Told Rotary

Asserting that to fight the ia
panese effectively we must know
them a great deal better than we
do, DIR. Frank Huntley proceeded TO
give a graphic and convincing pic
ture of Japanese sports Monday
noon to a highly attentive Rotar-
ian group. DR.. Huntley Is particu-
larly well equipped to describe the
Japanese. Born in China OF mis-
sionary parents, he lived there II
years before coming to the United
States. Later he returned to teach
in Japanese schools, and spent a
period of six or seven years in
GLIDING the early thirties in Japan.
He is at present professor of Eng
lish at Carleton College, on leave
in government service attached to
the Civil Affairs Training School.
DR.. Huntley asserted that the
Japanese, contrary TO the Chinese,
are quite devoid of sense OF hui
NOR They are unable to look at
themselves effectively and laugh
at their own mistakes. Their atti-
tude towards sports reveals this
mental turn particularly well. They
are interested in baseball, the
speaker said, and fill great stadia
holding as many as 250,000 people
for every game in series-but
they play with deadly intent TO
win, and treat the baseball bat with
the care and ceremony that a Sa-
mural does his sword. They do
not play American football, but pre-
fer rugby and soccer, where the
play is rough and the protection
scanty. Beyond these. the Japan.
csc show great preference for In
dividual competition, such as In
the sports OF track, swimming, and
tennis. The nation gives official
support to these sports In the eff
fort TO win in international compe.
tition. In swimming, the Japanese
finally succeeded, in 1882, in out.
chasing their nearest rival, the
United States. AS illustrative OF
the seriousness with which the
Japs took their international com
petition. DR.. Huntley referred to
personal friend OF his who had
been selected by the national com
mittee in tennis TO represent ia
pan. The man was i'll. and knew
that he would not be at his best
His way out was suicide.
But in addition TO these sports
DR.. Huntley described another
type OF sport which he called mil
itary sports, and which, he said
experienced great popular re

eminent plans to put the United
States into a world organization
backed by force headed for a storm
OF national debate today, with
President Roosevelt and and Sec
rotary Hull apparently seeking to
prevent possible disagreement on
any single issue from wrecking
the whole enterprise.
This strategy is considered re.
sponsible for the determination OF
officials to refrain now bringing
into the debate the question OF
whether Congress should have to
give its approval each time the
world organization calls for Amer
lean men, guns. ships and planes
TO suppress a threatening agrees
sor.
An authoritative ANALYSIS at the
State Department OF the Dunbar
ton Oaks security plan. revealed
Yesterday, shows that 1t fails TO
call for any such strong commit
ment on the part OF the United
States. II provides instead only
for the promise TO undertake to
supply forces In accord with con-
stitutional processes.
Since responsible diplomatic Of
ficials are known to favor a sys-
tenn which would cbviate the need
for congressional debate and de-
cision each time specific forces
were called for, the reluctance to
raise the issue Is regarded partly
at least as an effort to minimize
debate on this point at this time.
Another point not now subject
to discussion is that OF the vot-
ing arrangements within the pro-
posed II member security council
This stalled because Russia want
ed the right for each big power to
vote in dispute in which 1t was
involved, while this country and
Britain argued that in such case
the power should not participate In
the decision.
This point is one OF such high
policy that it will, IL possible, be
turned over TO meeting OF Pres
ident Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stalin--and
possibly Generalissimo Chang Kai
