Negro Education
Conference Hears
James w. Ford
dF. P. Pictures)

NEW YORK.-Speaking before the
18th Annual Teachers and Students
Educational Conference, a Negro or
ganization, at the Young Mems
Christian Association here, James w.
Ford, Communist candidate for Pres
ident, outlined the disastrous effect
of capitalism on education and
science, which, he held, can expand
and develop only under a free work
erS' society.
Ford said, in part: 1T is neces-
sary TO break through the tradi-
tional conception of education, if
our understanding is to become a
practical force in shaping the course
of history. The idea that education
is confined to educational institu-
tons, that is, merely a study of
books, is, at best, an unreal and
poverty stricken conception. If ideas
are to become a force, they must
seize hold of the masses. After a
hundred and fifty years of develop
ment, capitalism is bankrupt. The
decline, the moral and spiritual de-
cay which characterize capitalism as
a whole, are also reflected in the
sphere of education"
The workers and farmers candi-
date then proceeded to outline the
general situation in the educational
field today, the methods utilized by
the ruling class to poison the minds
of the people, the conditions under
which teachers and scientists WORK.
their unemployment problem, ETC.,
and contrasted them with conditions
in the educational field in the Soviet
Union, where unprecedented devsl-
opments in the cultural field for the
masses of people are taking place.
THE unacceptable truth of this
should be particularly clear" the
Communist candidate concluded, Ito
the Negro people and the Negro in
tellectuals. The highest achieve
ments of capitalism have trickled
down to the Negroes over blood
stained wall built up out Of jim
crowism, segregation, peonage and
lynching during the last $50 years.
The Communist Party is the sole
political force for the, education of
the widest masses to the only way
out of system whose highest
achievements are mass starvation.

JAPAN TO ANNEX
NEW TERRITORY
Send Troops South of
Great Wall

NEW YORK, Aug. Japan is
preparing to annex a large section Of
Chinese territory south of the Great
Wall, it was indicated yesterday with
the movement of large forces of
troops to points near the Wall. The
official japanese pretext for the
movement Of troops was that sew
eral Koreans had been killed in
Chingwangtao in Chinese anti
Korean riots.
Chingwantao is twelve miles south
of the Great Wall. After Japanese
troops had occupied Chingwangtao,
Japanese sources in Manchoukuo an
nounced that they would consider
"favorably'' any petition to annex
the territory, a strip about 10 miles
long to Manchoukuo, and that such
a petition was already being circu-
lated among sections of the Chinese
population. 1t Is clear that the an
nexation petition" is being circu-
lated by and among Japanese-con-
trolled agents.
An intensification of the attack on
Jehol by japanese seemed imminent
as Japan announced that all hopes
for the release Of Gonshiro Ishimoto,
a Japanese representative allegedly
kidnapped by Jehol irregular soldiers,
had been abandoned and that mill
tary leaders are considering appro-
pirate steps for campaign to release
him."
Two of the largest universities in
China were closed last week by the
Marking government which was
forced to admit for the first time
that student demonstrations against
the murdercus Marking government
have been taking place continuously.

Hint SHERWOOD
MAY TESTIFY
Charged With Aiding
Walkers Graft

NEW YORK. - Russell Sherwood
may appear to testify in the hearing
of Seabury charges of graft against
Mayor Walker, says the New York
Enquirer, a weekly Tammany paper
here, which appears Sunday after
noon.
This Tammany journal puts it this
way One Of the surprises which is
rumored for the occasion is the sim
Infamous appearance of Russell
Sherwood, the Mayors reputed
financial agent whose absence Sea-
bury has stressed so heavily in his
charges against Walker and the de-
mand for his removal"
Seabury charged that hundreds of
thousands Of graft money was
handled by Sherwood in playing the
stock market for Walker. Walker
pretended to want Sherwood to APP
pear but never told where he was.
1t may be that now Sherwood has
agreed to be the goat and will try to
clear Walker.
The public hearing will be
Thursday, in Albany, and the room
will be small enough SO that after all
the capitalist reporters are in, there
will not be any room left for the
public.
Leading up to the hearing have
been series of tits through the
newspapers between Seabury and
Walker, in which Walker, after adj
Knitting receiving gifts of enormous
amounts from firms doing business
with the city declared that he was
deeply insulted by Seabury's intima-
ton that this was graft.

This is in accordance with Doak's

RUTLAND, Mass, Aug. with
the signing of an order on Saturday
by Federal Judge James A. Lowell
for the deportation of Edith Berk-

Berkman is lying sick of tuber-

arrest by immigration officers for
her activity in the last Lawrence

Although the International Labor

Justice Louis Brandeis refused to ex-

"The international Labor Defense

to save either the buildings or its
contents. The post Office, which
was a fourth class Office, was To-
Gated in the general store of Mr..

master. A quantity of stamps and
other post Office equipment had
been locked in a safe, and al
though somewhat damaged, were
not entirely destroyed. Mr.. Ben
ney and his family were away
from home at the time, and neigh
