Mr.. Clarence Warren, white, farm
machinery expert returned home to
San Francisco from Russia last week
and among other things said:
Nearly every A err can
woman that goes to Russia on
business and stays there any
length of time, takes to drink
and many become hopelessly adj
dicted."
Mrs. Warren thus pays her re-
spects to the American men. She
says:
"Our men go to Russia, meet
the pretty but immoral Russian
girl interpreters, and find it diff
ficult to get out when their ba-
bies are born"
The Warrens are probably correct
in their observations. However, no
one need blame Russia if Americans
get drunk or produce children out
of wedlock.
We Americans, of all races, do
those things at home without ever
seeing Russia.

In this phase of the Indian revo-
luton lies vital lesson for the.
American Negro. To make our group
self-supporting in the production of
some of the essentials of daily life
would make the ruling classes of our
country take notice and treat us up
on our terms, for the rulers are the
business men, and inroads into the
billions they draw yearly from our
pocketbooks for daily needs would
develop instantly new respect and
consideration for us. The American
Negro is far in advance of the In
dian native in education and adjust
ment to modern life, and coopera-
ton in such a plan should be easier
and far more effective. Just what
line this trend should take, we do
not dare suggest, but the people as a
whole are open to suggestions.

Along with his preachments of civ
il disobedience, non-co-operation, re-
ligious unity, and unwavering de-
mands for complete liberty and self
rule for India, Gandhi, the practical
man, has taught his millions of fol
lowers the vital necessity of being
economically self-supporting. Back
ward India is still pastoral land,
where most of the needs of the teem-
ing millions are supplied in the
homes. but one important commod-
ity has been the basis of Britain's in
dustrial empire in the land, and that
has been the demand for cloth. The
textile mills of Leeds and Manches-
ter exported yearly millions of yards
of cloth to India before the revolu-
ton, manufactured from cotton rails
ed by the Indians themselves. The
sale of cloth was Britain's main eco
monte hold on the country, and
Gandhi has effectively broken it by
setting the example himself of spin
ming a little each day and weaving
on hand loom in his home to man
ufacture sufficient cloth for his own
family's needs. In millions of Indian
homes each day. fathers, mothers,
and children have manned the
looms, producing simple cotton cloth
for their own needs, and thus estab-
fishing an effective, thorough and
ndestructible boycott on British
cloth. In the past five years India s
import of English made cloth has
dropped from billions of dollars
worth, to a scant million and half.
This economic loss has had tremen-
dous effect upon the British rulers
attitude taken in dealing with India S
political and economic demands.

Reds and the N.A.A.C.P.

Communists have been thumbing
their noses at the N.A.A.C.P. about
the pending Scottsboro, Alabama,
legal lynching.
Conviction of the nine boys for
alleged rape of two white girl tramps
in freight car and their sentence
eight of them to death. provoked
statements on both sides as to which
organization was first to the rescue
and which shall employ defense coun-
sci for the boys and conduct their
appeal for a new trial.
At present the controversy APP
pears even. The mothers of four
boys have chosen the N.A.A.C.P. and
four others favor the Communists.
This is the sort of work that the
N.A.A.C.P. has been doing for twen-
ty years, and especially we'll in the
Elaine, Arkansas, riot cases, the
Sweet case in Detroit, and many
others like them.

Labor Defense, newer organization
now enters the same field.
However, there need be no rival
ry. Cases in which justice goes as
tray are far more numerous than any
two or a dozen organizations can
properly handle with funds at pres
ent available.
What is needed is a distribution
of territory or division of the field.
Let the Reds take the North and
the N.A.A.C.P. the South. Let the
Reds take the criminal cases, and
the N.A.A.C.P. the civil cases.
The Negro doesn't get anywhere
when his friends fall out and fight
over him What he wants is that his
friends shall fight FOR him.

 Lannin was out swordfishing with group of friends when the shark was sighted. The boat was maneuvered within a few yards of the fish and Lannin drove his har- poon into it's back. It was an hour before the boat could pick up the buoy attached to the harpoon line and it took another harpoon and six bullets from a pistol to kill the shark.
 The fish was hauled aboard with block and tackle and found to weigh 9S0 pounds. To-day it is hanging at the Bay Shore Yacht club.
 The so-calIed dusky shark is common to Atlantic seaboard wa ters at this latitude. but the blue nose seldom gets up this far, ac-

 Munson and Swenson were fish ing for bluefish seven miles off Normandy beach when they noticed q large shark approaching the boat. apparently making for a 7-poundcr they had hooked. A swordfsh noticed the shark about the same time, and made for him.
 The shark turned about, Munson related, bu { the swordfish swan right after him and about 100 yards from the boat the two began a mighty struggle that churned the water to foam.
 For 35 minutes the sea mon- sters fought, MunsOn said. The swordHsh was victorious He left his dead victim floating belly up- ward and went off in pursuit of other game.

PETROLLE WINS
CORY SCRAP

NEW YORK, June 2s. - The
Fargo Express" is roaring to-
ward that town today with Justo
Suarez smeared all over the cow
catcher.
Billy Petrolle is at the throttle,
and what an engineer!
He flayed the invading Argen-
tine champion within an inch of
his life in Madison Square Gar
den last night, and yet the sloe-
eyed Buenos Aires boy fought
back with such tigerish fury
that one Of the greatest battles
in the history of lightweights re-
suited.
Petrolle fought with the
cunning of an old pit dog.
Courage was the banner which
each flung to the wind. And
Suarez's was only lowered when
he fell over backward with his
cOlOrS tangled about him. They
don't mold braver boys.
Petrolle got the jump in the
first IS seconds. He had SuareZ
on the floor twice before the
round was half a minute old. So
furiouSly did he pummel the
BuenoS Aires boy in that first
round that Suarez never was
able to shake it off.

TOY BULLDOG
! WOULD HAVE
SYMPATHY
By -ACK DEMPSEY

Talk drifts into Reno that
Jack Sharkey is likely to swap
punches with Mickey Walker. If
that's true, then it looks like a
bad match for Sharkey who has
plenty to lose and not much to
gain.
Sharkey has been given a run
around by various promoters in
his efforts to get crack at the
heavyweight title. But they
can't keep. on doing that for,
ever-Sharkey is a great heavy
in these days. He can't be ig-
nored much longer.
The public will demand that he
get his chance against whoever
is champion and all that Sharkey
needs to do until then is to call
on a little patience.
Mickey Too Little
If he fights Walker and out
points him or even stops him
well, what Of it? Mickey will
be the little fellow-the under
dog. Sympathy will be with him.
II Walker gets whipped-even
with a few puncheS-no one will
do any hurrahing for Sharkey.
He will be just "the big guy that
beat a middleweight."
Walker isn't without chance
against Sharkey, Mickey is as
game as they are made. He
can take terrible hammering
and keep tearing in for more.
His speciality is body punching.
He will be so much smalle,
than Sharkey that he will have
trouble socking Jacks lofty chin.
Chances are he won't make many
tries. He will concentrate his at
tack upon Jacks stomach and
ribs.
Sharkey doesn't like them there
nobody does. Mickey won't
have a great deal of poundage
behind those drives but he has
the knack of concentrating his
power when he hits and that
means he shakes up the other
fellow no little.
The big man, fighting the little
fellow, usually is at a disadvan-
tage. He must hit down You
can't get much drive in a down
ward punch. Try it yourself and
the result is little more than a
push.
Has Uppercut
Sharkey, to do real damage, will
have to depend upon an upper.
cut. His is good; he can strap it
with speed and steam behind it
If Sharkey and Walker do
meet, imagine Sharkey will
place most of his dependence
on that uppercut because it is
the most effective blow against
Q smaller man.
However, Mickey is no boob
about defensive matters and he
might work out a plan to get out
OF the way of most of Jacks lift
ing punches.
From this angle, the bout
doesn't seem really attractive. I
can't imagine that millions of
people are going to get excited
over a man who is 6 feet in
height and 1876 pounds in weight
taking on a comparative midget.
The gate isn't likely to be much
TO chetr about
So Sharkey by accepting such
a man, is placed in the position
OF taking small pay for his
services in a fight where he gains
nothing in winning, and, in de-
feat, is dealt right out of the
heavyweight picture at a time
when lingering around might add
from $150,000 to $250,00O to his
bankron and, in addition give
him chance at the title.
