“Japan is able to blockade China
and to prevent shipments of arms and
other contraband, from reaching Chi
na. China, which can be blockaded as
soon as^Japan cares to do.so, woul^
not get the arms through the block
ade whether this law was on the
books or not. Under the law, how
ever, neither si Je will be able to get
arms from us.”
• The national council for the pre
vention of war issued a statement de
manding that congress “should not
adjourn until every possible protec-i
tion has been given the people of this
country against becoming involved in
the war in Asia.”
It said the neutrality law should
be applied but that it should be
amended to provide for control of the
sale of war materials other than mu
nitions; that measures calling for
peace time embargoes on arms should
be passed*-»nd that steps should be
taken to control the export'of steel j
and iron scrap. Japan has purchased'
thousands of tons of the latter in the
United States.

I ■
Came To Clinton In 1914 From Michigan; l.s Captain of National
(lUard Company, (ilood Citizen’ and Dean of
Southern Coaches.
B.v HUGH HOLMAN
(I’uhlicity Director Presbyterian College)
When more than .lO stalwart youths answer his call to football t.>gs on
September 1, Walter Johnson will be starting his 2lJn(l^year as'head coach
at Presbyterian college. In that time, the “happy warrior” has increa.'od the
numb<*r of siM)rt8 at P. ('. from two to nine.
Me has been ini.strumental in the
reorganization of tbeM[^loiftto b&se-
t)all league, in the organization of in
tercollegiate boxing’in South Carolina
and in the*.increasing .spirit of clean
^port.smanship. ^
Johnson came to Presbyterian col
lege from Battle Creek (.Mich.) School
of Physical Education, in the fall of
1914. He is a native of Milwaukee,

graduates .know him, “Woof-Woof”—

still that same indomitable spirit'^in
his teams. They may lie'beaten but
they’re never licked.
Me has a thorough and complete
love for his college. Offers have come
to him over the years from Duke,
Wake Fore.st, Clemson, Djfividson, and
many other schools, but he has never
considered leaving his first love —
P. ('.
Deep within him is a bubbling
fountain of ceaseless energy. He must
always b<’ working and working hard.
In addition to his many.du.ties a-s ath
letic din*ctor of a nine-sport school,
he is captain of the Clintoiv unit of
the national guard. He .spends his
summers din*cting athletics for
young people’s conferences of the

batrlc is too big for him, no assign-1 (.ha^gus. he is a member of the Ro-
ment too rough, and he has been able, Ukeside country xluh, and
by his powerful personality, to in- ^ deacon in the First Presbyterian
church.
rT(5TtTr~KpnrtsmafH4up--and- fair play
are his mottoes and his ideals. He
helievM that the value of sports
comes from the training which it
gives the partakers and not from the
scores or the gate receipts.'Therefore,
it bas become a maxim at P. C. that
an injured man ndver plays on a John
son team, no matter how much he is
needed.
The dean of Southern coaches i*
truly a builder ^of. men of sterling
character and strong bodies.
He opens the 1937 season with
doubtful proepects, but few wrinkles
are on that forehead. “I don’t know
what kind of a team we’ll have,” he
says, “ibut we’ll be in there fighting
every second," AtW that comment is
typical of the grand old man of South
Carolina sports! '*■
