POLITICS BECOMES
MOROCCO WEAPON
French Exploit Successes,
While Riff Leader Also
Uses Propaganda.
By the Associated Press.

FEZ, French Morocco. August %
Politics for the moment has taken the
place of warfare in Morocco. Both
sides to the controversy are active.
The French are exploiting their re-
cent successes to win over as many of
the hostile tribesmen as possible Add
el-krim, the Riffian war lord, is send
ing emissaries. not only among the
tribes adjacent to the battle front. but
far behind the lines. in an attempt to
work upon the religious sentiments
and spirit of independence of the
Moors and get them to take up arms
against the French. He also has
drafted Riffian contingents all along
the front TO stiffen the backbone of
his partisans.
French Leaders Confer.
Marshal Lyautey. the French gov
ernor general. prior to sailing for
France conferred with Marshal Petain,
supreme commander of the French
forces. They went over in detail the
plans for the approaching operations
and settled all the points remaining to
be thrashed out, 50 that Marshal
Lyautey will be in a position to give
to the government in Paris full in
formation.
Active preparations are proceeding
all along the line for further for
ward movement. the success of which
would bring the French troops back
to the line of forts on the edge of
the Spanish zone which they occupied
before bd-el-krim's drive five months
ago.
Delay Is Unlikely
If this zone is recaptured. Marshal
Petain then will decide whether to
go on with the formidable task of
attempting to defeat Abd-el-Krim or
leave it until next Spring. The con-
sensus is that while Marshal Petain
has not definitely made up his mind
he will desire to go ahead and not
give Abd-el-Krim time to pull his
forces together and start fresh trouble
among the tribesmen with his in
trigue propaganda, thus undoing what
the French have accomplished in past
months.

THIS WEEK
BY Ernest Rice Mckinney
preston News servicel

Ny remarks last week were prompt
ed by a series OF incidents in one Of
the large universities.
It seems that a young man from
Cleveland was preparing to matriculate
in this school An Aunt with whom
he lived called him in and told him
that he was not going there as a Negro
but as an American citizen. The young
man evidently interpreted this to mean
that he should pass" for white.
Evidently he thought that passing
was the only way that he could deport
himself as an American citizen.
This youth went to school and be-
came just a freshman, one Of about
two thousand. After having been
there for a couple Of years he was just
a sophomore, one Of a thousand. He
went into the Junior class just one Of
many He did nothing to get himself
elevated in the eyes Of students or
faculty. When he graduated he was
simply colored boy coming out into
the world, ready to ask Negroes to
give him their money in order that he
might live and not starve.
Due to the fact that he had been a
mediocre student there was great
competition awaiting him should he
attempt to carry on passing for white.
There were thousands Of white boys
ordinary and commonplace just like
him.
In this same school along with our
passing" there was brown skin
Negro boy who could not pass for
white. To make a long story short !
will say that this brown skin Negro
was one Of the most popular, the most
accomplished and in scholarship one
OF the ranking students in the school
# you viii follow up this sort Of
thing you viii find that such is usually
the case. AS a rule the Negro stu
dent who passes for white in college,
IS a very ordinary youth. As a
rule, also, this student amounts
to nothing after school days are
over. It is rare thing to find a
Negro becoming prominent or worth
while who passed for white in school.
They have to put in too much time
lodging and shutting to keep from
being found out.
The serious part Of this matter is
that this type Of student has the brass
to graduate, hang out a sign and ask
real Negroes to come with their
hard earned cash. This animal, who
