British Soap Mdgndte
Wants Black Men to
Play Donkey Role

SYDNEY, New South Wales, Mar,
10.-Protests have been made by all
sections of political thought, as by
commercial and industrial interests
against suggestions made by Lord
Leverhulme, the head of the British
soap making industry, that black
labor should be introduced into Aus
tralia to do the donkey work."
Lcverhulme said he had $4,000
blacks in his employ in his various
plantations thruout the world and
they suited him right down to tho
ground. He also claimed that the
Negroes in the south in the United
States had proved boon to the EN-
ployers.

their release, bring civil suits against
the officials responsible. Theoretical
ly, of course, the public authorities
ought to proceed against law-break-
ing officials. Experience has shown,
however, that they are unlikely to do
so and that when they do they are
apt to conduct them fundamentally
In England notable vindications of
civil liberty have been obtained by
private suits.
5. II a speaker is unlawfully arr
rested and the meeting allowed to
proceed, see that a red-hot protest is
made against the conduct of the police
and send a committee from the meet
ing to police headquarters to make a
protest and to see if something can
not be done to get the speaker re-
leased without further proceedings.
Send the committee to the daily news
paper offices to give an accurate ac-
count of what happened. Otherwise
the newspapers will get the story
from the police.
6. Where meetings have been in
terfered with by official lawIessness,
state a protest meeting for the earli-
est practicable date. At that meet
ing make the subject only that of the
right of free speech, repeating in
substance what was said at the pre-
vious meeting as an evidence of ex-
ercising that right. Get persons not
connected with the meeting and as of
great prominence as possible in the
community either to address the
meeting or to sit on the platform.
Get a signed protest from prominent
ministers, lawyers, officials and other
sympathizers and see that it reaches
the newspapers. Have a written
resolution adopted at the meeting and
signed by as many of those present
las possible. Have this transmitted to
the police and to the newspapers.
". Publicity. Wherever there is
any issue of free speech or assem-
,blage, it is important to get the news
papers to see it. To that end it is
essential to furnish them with copy.
Get to the city editors directly either
with a clear statement of the facts
thru someone who knows how to talk
to a newspaper man or thru state
ments written out in advance. The
best thing to do is to employ local
lpublicity man who is familiar with
the local newspaper land with the
wire services out of the community
whenever any issue of more than local
significance is involved.) It is i'm
portant also to see the chief writer's
of each of these papers quite indie
pendent Of the news story, so that
they will understand the facts, and
not base their editorials upon biased
hostile reports.
8. In all cases where arrests are
likely at a free speech meeting, an
able attorney should be consulted in
advance. and engaged to be present,
His advice will often ASIA the speak
ers and managers to raise in clear
cut fashion the definite issue Of free
speech which officials (under cover of
unevenly enforced local ordinances as
to traffic, permits, collection of funds,
safety appliances, etc. are often
astute to prevent. Bail should be
provided for. The attendance of dis
interested and responsible witnesses
should be procured.
