First thought of, the average American father is to hand ‘his son.a ‘base- differences between the totalitarian coun- side is a hard-boiled militarism, other a hard-hitting sportsmanship. Baseball is our national pastime. It engages the attention of more of our. peo- ple than any other fact. It has givén concrete expression of its | recognition.ef -:the fact by sponsoring junior baseball teams in.nearly. every com- | munity in the country. ‘The boys. compete | with one another in their home communi- ties and then‘ go into sectional, state and | national playoffs. In their early teens they | t learn the furflamentals of the game. One | fundamental is good sportmanship, the | fight, which, after all, is one of the foun- dations of good citizenship. Arthur Sawyer Post of the American Legion is to be congratulated for sponsor- ing the Junicr baseball team in Key West. 17, are to be congratulated for their team- play, their general all-around work in competition with well-uniformed, well- conditioned youngsters from such places | as Fort Pierce, Fort Lauderdale, West | .Palm Beach and Miami. From appear- ances it would seem the out-of-town play- 17, but it is hardly likely the Legion would — for any such; shenannigans. Any wae The Key West sillier ‘ious brought this’ city ‘some ‘good -publicity. It is.up to the. city to furnish the boys good uniforms and loyal support. The team is being sup- ported fairly well, and it is understood is striving to provide the youngsters with proper uniforms. “They cost about $7.50 each and ‘there are 15 on the team. This looks like a good opportun- ity for a few of our well-to-do baseball fans to chip in $7.50 each and give one boy a. snappy suit.and a fine pair of spiked shoes. Up and af ’em, you baseball fans— prove to the boys you like their work by saying it with uniforms and shoes, U. S.

Consequently, the Japanese have been able to purchase vast quantities of supplies in the United States, notably oil and scrap metal. . In the opinion of some. experts, these supplies have had much to‘do ; with the maintenance of Japanese armies in China. That the resources of the United States are available to Japan ‘in-her war of aggression is unfortunate. Because Japan hhas the shipping necessary to transport supplies and an open market in this coun- try, she can buy what she needs. China without ships, is unable to secure supplies here, but that is Rot our, fault. In view of the conflict of interests between the United States and Japan in the Far East, it does not seem wise for this country to permit any of its. material to ‘aid Japan in-her war against China. More- + over, when Japan abrogated the -naval limitations treaties, she served notice on the world that something was under way in the Par East.
