Soviet Russia and Oppressed Nationalities

bsides. In west and equatorial Africa
a system of hostages" prevails, old
people, women and children are i'm
prisoned in vile barracks to insure the
enslaved male workers from running
away. If one escapes, the dependents
are put to death, and continually they
are starved, beaten and treated worse
than animals. The unspeakable civil
ization" France has given to Africa is
vividly pictured in that wonderful
book by the French colonial, Rene
Maran, entitled, "Batouala." 1t may
be noted that France plans for an
army OF $1,000 black soldiers to en-
force law and order" at home and in
the colonies.
Does the Civil Liberties Union know
that no Negro can leave South Africa
legally? He must smuggle himself
out as a stowaway to escape from the
slave pens run by MacDonald's $50
cialist" government There, 100000
blacks are bossed by 1900, 900 Of
whites. In the gold mines Of the

Oppressed Racial Minoritles.
There are, OF course, the problems
Of the oppressed races within nations,
such as the Negroes of America, and
the various peoples annexed by grace
Of the Versailles Treaty. But there is
not space here to treat Of them, tho
they are highly important and tho
they, too, turn toward Moscow as to
he dawn. The story has been told
them of the real freedom brought the
obscurest and most backward races
under the Soviet Union. How unheard
of races under the Arctic circle have
now schools and their language taught
from printed letters for the first time
and that, lin the forming Of the CEN
trail organs Of the Soviet Union, all
national republics, without exception,
be guaranteed equal rights and posi-
tons, and that all the needs Of the
nationalities be satisfied" Such was
the motion passed by the Twelfth
Congress Of the Russian Communist
Party, which administers the Soviet
Union.

tional Association Of Real Estate

campaign to clean up the ap.

roads.
The circular points out that rail.
road sites and Industrial locations
can be made very attractive by de,
veloping lawns and shrubbery in
stead Of permitting the cities back
yard to become a dumping ground
for the cities refuse. Industrial
buildings located along the railroad
trackage can, be beautified with
comparatively little expense and il
is the purpose Of this realtor move
ment to encourage this improve
ment.
The Washington Real Estate Board,
which always, co-0perates with ma.
tional movements started by the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, has appointed a special
committee to keep In touch with
this situation, although it realizes
that Washington is very fortunate
In this respect as compared with
most cities. The committee ap
pointed consists Of Albert e. Land
