Russians Postpone
Film With Negro
Cast Until Spring
RUSSIAN FILM OF NEGRO LIFE
TO BE MADE IN SPRING.

New York -(CNA)- Work on
the filming of the moving picture,
'Black and White" for which %
American Negroes went to Moscow
this summer, will begin definitely in
the spring of next year, according to
cable received from Moscow last
week by the Crusader News Agency.
The cable, which was sent by Louise
Thompson, secretary of the group,
states that technical difficulties in
volved in making picture of Amer
lean life against background OF
Russian scnes, have forced the tenn
porary postponement
Meanwhile, the cable states, ths
group will tour the Soviet Union and
will be paid their full wages of coo
roubles a month $4,000 until the ex
piration of their contract in October
Those who wish to remain to take
part in the film In the spring, have
been invited to do so, and will be
given employment until that time
Those who do not desire to wait after
the expiration of the contract in DC
.tober, will then be supplied with fare
for the return journey.
This explanation of the postpone
sment of the film gives the lie to the
many rumors in the white press
to the effect that the Soviet Unior
has forbidden the making of the film
In a statement made last week, James
w. Ford, Negro candidate for vice
president on the Communist ticket
who was active in the organization Of
the group, said that there could be
no political obstacles which could in
duce the Soviet Union to abandon
the project of making film of Negro
life and that whatever difficulties
might have arisen were of a purely
technical nature.
"Chatwood Hall, former HERALI
columnist and Minneapolis residen
is with the group in Russia. A posta
card was received from him from
Crimea this week.

This World
G. o. p. COMMITTEE.
FINLEY WILSON, AGAIN.
Cecil e. Newman

The appointment of the state. CEN
trail committee Of the Republicans
which formerly excited much COM
ment and rivalry among our sepia
brethren, this year will probably only
cause slight ripple Negro Republi-
can leaders, some of them at least, are
getting down to fundamental politics
and sooner or later they will seek a
place on the state central committee
executive committee.
The Is colored men and women
named are generally acceptable to the
colored people of the state. Most OF
thin are clearly representative and
should be of much help to the COP.
ticket. Just the same it is just about
time the Negro is represented on the
executive committee Of that party in
this state.
The Elks meeting at Atlantic City,
reelected Finley Wilson, exalted rul-
er by reclamation. 1t looks Wilson
will rule that progressive order as
long as he lives. This might be o. K.
but what of the men just as well quail
fed as Wilson who are denied the
highest office in Elkdom because of
Wilson's self-perpetuating machine?
Wilson has made fraternalism bust
ness and the Elks should wake up and
put him out of Office.
All Negro lodges of national proper
tions should have the system of rota
ton for their highest offices, making
the titular head of the orders an hon
orary rather than an executive Office
Elected for IL consecutive term
Wilson has made it impossible for a
least 10 well qualified Elks to gail
the highest Elk office. His continue
rule dams the ambition of many men
multiplying their honest hopes o
gaining the highest Elk honors.

Great Britain May Cause Loss Of Hundred Million
 Dollars To This Country
Nation Offers Cam ada Preferential Tariffs on Certain Products in Exchange for Others
 and This, If Accepted, Will Hurt United States

Ottawa, Ont Aug 15.-eUP)7- Great Britain to-day offered Cafl- ada preferential tariffs on wheat. copper and lumber in return for preferences on textile, leather, iron, steel and coal, 1t was reported on the best of authority.
 The offer, if accepted. will mean the loss of hundred million dol lars trade annually for the United States, for the states have been heavy exporters of all the items mentioned to both units of the em- pire.
 The United States trade lost in textiles, leather, iron, steel and coal will go to Great Britain. The other trade will go to Can ada.
 The British refused finally, it was reported during the empire economic conference, to place an embargo or quota on imports of Russian wheat as requested by Can ada. Such action. Britain felt. would endanger trade with Russia which already has cut her imports from the United States to one-tenth what they were two years ago. The final offer included. 1t was said authoritatively, preferential tariff of three pence (six ccnts) q pushed on wheat. two pence pound on copper and an increase from 10 to 20 per cent on lum- Der.

 New York, Aug 15.-OUP)-The two major political parties today began a nationwide merchandising campaign to "seir' their respective presidential candidates to the vot- CTS.
 Their campaigns. of course, have been under way for some time but not until today were both parties "at home" in national sales headquarters in New York.
 On the sixth floor of the Wal dorf Astoria hotel, in suite of seemingly endless connecting bed- rooms, republican eastern cam- paign headquarters swung into ac-. tion this morning. Its efficient ma chinery answers the challenge of democratic national headquarters. which has suite of connecting salesmen's sample rooms in the Hotel Biltmore.
 Between these two hotels-sep- arated by a few short blocks of swagger Park avenue-cne may see how a president Is made.
 No national advertising agency. no public relations counsellor, ever approached job with more cffi- cient zeal, schooled technique or elaborate machinery than do the gentlemen of the hotel suites, out to sell their candidates to the peo- pie of the United States.

Injunction Suit To Stop Walker Trial
 To Be Instituted
Will Be Brought Against Gov Roosevelt Unless Latter Yields to Demand of the Mayor in Regard to Witnesses-Regular Hearing Opened Late This Afternoon
By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Stan COrrespondent)

By E1kEDthANA "A. olOnM United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Albany, N. r., Aug 15-(UP)-- A seconid legal move to stdp the custer hearing against Mayor James J. Walker was in prospect to-day as the inquiry moved into it's last phase.
 This action. probably in the form of an injunction suit, against Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, would be independent of the pend ing supreme court litigation based on the claim the governors re- ,moval power was nullified by the home rule amendment to the con- stitution. John J. Curtin, the mayors attorney, hinted he might attempt to halt the hearing if Roosevelt does not change the form of procedure to meet Walk CTS demands.
 Regardless of any possible forth coming legal move, Walker and his counsel were ready for the third session of the hearing, set |-for 1880 p. m. to-day. Roosevelts examination of the mayor to-day was expected to center around the fugitive Russell T. Sherwood and his bank deposits of nearly a million dollars on a $3,000 annual salary.
 Samuel Seabury, author of the Is t'conclusions" seeking the mayors removal, holds that Sher- wood was Walkers financial agent. In the Hofstadter lesisla- tive investigation Seabury showed that Walker and Sherwood had a
