also announced that the New York
cast would follow the production on

1t was stated here that Mr.. Robe

quest of material for new show
for New York's winter season, but
it is not apparent why he should
go on such a quest while he is still
in good standing with the produc-

of the production is so promising.

Mr.. Robson, when interviewed
seemed TO know very little about
the move of his wife, although he
intimated that the action was agree
able to both.
1t has been vaguely stated that
an English white woman of roya

steadfastly declined to name any
such person and Mr.. Robson has
laughed off the suggestion.

SOCIAL EQUALITY

Andrew aMstlaga, white, has been
expelled from the Communist Party
by the unanimous vote of those as
sociated with the movement living
in Linden, N. j., because he upheld
the conduct of his daughter, who
refused to dance with a Negro. The
incident to bring about Matlaga's
subsequent expulsion occurred at a
dance given under auspices of the
International Labor Defense and at
tended by white and colored work
ers.
When n colorcd comrade asked
Miss Malaga to trip the light fan
tastic with him she respectfully de-
clined. She never had danced with a
Negro and the thought of gliding
with measured steps over ballroom
floor, in the arms of her dusky fell
.low-Communist was revolving. But
her views on social equality were
not shared by the workers present,
who charged her with breaking a
most arbitrary dogma.
Miss Rebecca Grocht, white, Jer-
sey organizer for the Communist
Party, vigorously dissented from the
line Of reasoning advanced by Mat
laga and his daughter that the Sc
lection of dance partner is purely
a personal affair. She dwelt on the
significance of Communism's fight
for social equality" for the Negro
likcning the attitude of the Mat
lagas to that of Southern landlords
and oppressors of the race.
There may be some virtue and
sincerity in the Communist Party's
policy of fighting disfranchisement
"iim crowism", lynching and injus
tice in our Southern courts of law
but its attempt to lure many Ne
groes to its banner by advocating
"enforced social equality will prov,
dismal failure. Soviet Russia mus

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Acting to
curb activities of promoters of
schemes to induce emigration to
Liberia, the State Department last
Wednesday warned American citi-
zens against going to the West At
rican republic in quest of better
opportunities.
During the last year the State
Department has received number
of complaints against individuals and
organizations in the United States
promoting American emigration to
Liberia.
Under instructions from the State
Department, Charles Z. Mitchell, L..
S. minister to Liberia, recently in
vestigated the situation and reported
that mo one at the present time
should seriously contemplate emf
grafton to Liberia unless in posses
sion of sufficient funds to cover the
cost of return passage to the United
States in the event that the colonist
became dissatisfied
In its warning the State Depart
ment quoted the following excerpt
from letter written by DR.. Mitchell
to an inquirer in this country:
"In reply to your inquiries
might say that due to the general
economic depression and the unset
tied conditions in Liberia, would
seriously emphasize the fact thai
neither you nor your friends shoult
attempt to come to Liberia at this
time.
Notwithstanding the promises
that are held out to you by person

THE HUMBLE WASHER.
WOMAN

Negroes in America and through
out the world are naturally proud of
the triumphs of Eddie Tolan in the
Olympic Games. Not only are the
Negroes throughout the world proud
of this triumph, but humble wash
er-woman, mother of the boy, is un-
speaksbly proud.
She it was who washed and ironed
and scrubbed and toiled to put her
son through college, for she placed
all her hopes and dreams upon him.
The ewashtub's contribution to Ne
gro advancement and uplift scarcely
can be estimated. Most of the Ne
groes in America who are worth a
snap of the finger owe their educa-
tion and success to the arduous
labor of some humble washer-woman.
These washer women were the
backbone of our group and the main
stay of our churches. and they
should hold an honored place in our
annals.

engaged in promotion schemes for
the emigration of Negroes in Amer
lea to Liberia, nearly all persons
who have ventured to take advan-
tage of these propositions have met
with great disappointment and have
been obliged to return home broken
in spirit and pocket.
81 have in mind case which has
come to my attention this week;
that of a New Yorker, a graduate
mechanical dentist and shoemaker,
accompanied by his wife and six
children. After listening to the glow
ing prospects of one of these pro-
moters, he purchased a shoe making
outfit with supplies and reached
Monrovia May 30.
HE found, to his sorrow, that a
majority of the people here wore
no shoes and that health conditions
were intolerable. He is, therefore,
returning to New York June 30,
after having spent considerable
amount of money.
"This is only one of the many
cases that come to us from time to
time.
1.-THE American government makes
no appropriation for stranded emf
grants and it is, therefore, out of
the question for you to rely upon
| Eelp in that connection.
'1n view of the above, | again
warn you against coming to Liberia
unless you are willing to put W
with the rigors of climate and have
enough money to return to your
home in America in case you should
come to Liberia and become dissat
isfied."

Negro FraternalL Leaders Have Vast Field
For An Economic and Political Program

Negroes"
Offers Constructive Criticism
Unlike most people who criticise
organizations for lethargy, Mr.. Robb
came forth with suggestions: 1T Is
not necessary to misjudge the Elks
but insist that their expenditures
bring greater return to the poor Ne
gro. Cigars. cigarettes, beer, cards,
badges. uniforms, banners, busses
music instruments, flowers, taxi sery-
ice, furniture, printing, tailoring and
a host of other necessities must be
secured, then concessions should
benefit the masses in form of en-
ployment, producers cooperatives,
and experience in wholesaling in
stead of petty rakeoffs for hand
full of officers.
Gould not the Elks link up the in
dustrial students of Tuskegee and
Hampton Institutes, National Bust
ness League. Young Negroes Coop
erative League and other agencies
to supply IA fraction of needs of over
3 100000 Negro lodge members?
This is a vast field for a practical
genius to mobilize and use for ele-
walton of masses instead of extor-
tionate salaries for handful of
parasite officers whose prime func-
ton is to encourage expenditures and
feather their nests. 1t must be ad-
mitted only mergers and national
combines can effectively meet the
competition of modern finance.

 T have not recently adopted the above platform but have cam paigned on the same platform for three successive campaigns, each time gaining more votes, and in the last election was beaten by my Republican opponent by only 296 votes.

I will not in this message, or else where, reflect on the merits of the opposing candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination. However, the friends who have urged m e to again become a candidate, and I myself, believe, that my past re- cord in office, as United States at torney, as Attorney-General, and Delegate to Congress; the wide ac- quaintance obtained by my suc- cessive campaigns, the increasing number of votes gained in each of them, all indicate that I am the logical candidate and deserving of the nomination in the April pri- mary.
