A NEW CHAMPION For the first time in a quarter of a century, the world has a negro heavyweight champion. No. since the golden-toothed Jack Johnson hammered Jim Jeffries into submission at Reno in 1910 has a colored man held the crown until last night when the youthful Joe Louis battered James Braddock into defeat at Chicago, taking the title by a knockout in the eighth round. Over the years since Johnson there have been some capable negro fighting men. Sam Langford was one and Harry Wills another. Many still believe that Wills was eptitled to a cra at the title, and 'SKI TROPHIES - RECEIVED HERE Awards Pre—se_nted by A. W.

The more controversy, the more }ing interest will be created in getting a white man to meet the negro, and, consequently a bigger gate when they actually clash. Approximately $650,000 was paid last night to see the fight. Chicago merchants estimated they would do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth more busi- ness as a result of the crowd. So it doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference what color the man is who holds the title. The dollar sign rules prize fighting| just like it rules everything. The boy with the wallop gets the cash, and our personal opinion is that most of them are over paid.

In another column was a report that Hitler w: about to spring a “surprise” at a conference he planned to attend June 19 in a small town of East Prussia near the Free City of Danzig. This visit w: an- nounced only by the indiscretion of a local Nazi leader. Its purpose was cloaked in secrecy. But the equivocal position of Danzig, long the target of Nazi propaganda and now ruled by a Nazi majority, and the fact that meeting coincides with the transfer of Upper to full Poli control, in fulfillment of the terms of the plebiscite of 1922, give rise to uneasy speculation. It is extremely un ly that Hitler will do anything at this time to disturb German relat with Poland. His presence on the Polish border even herald another gesture of amity toward Warsaw The point is that nobody but Hitler knows wk Ger- many is going to do, and the capacity of one man acting as a State to spring sudden surprises is a con- stant threat to peace. This international aspect of dictatorship sugges's why it is not simply a domestic problem. There are limits to the truth that the form of government one nation chooses is not the busin of other nations Dictatorship, as at present exercised, is not only method of internal rule but also a method of foreien policy which by its nature prevents normal relations between States and affects the safety and stabilil of the world. | Crucify.
