NAVY CONTROL OF VIRGIN
ISLANDS CALLED DISASTER"
BY NATION

New York,-The Nation. in its is
sue of April 5, has an editorial de-
claring that the return of the Virgin
Islands to control of the Navy would
be a disaster" In part the editorial
states:
"The islands-are in pressing need
of rehabilitation. Governor Paul Pear
son has been working on a plan to
achieve that end, and in the face of
universal economic depression, has
made a good beginning. He has
turned over to the Virgin Islanders
40 per cent of the administrative
posts. AS Negroes are barred from
the Navy except as mess boys and in
other mental positions, return to nav
al control would mean ousting of the

HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
Continued from last week.

very few have come to the support
Of it, although they have been made
eligible for membership. Instead of
using credit facilities provided by
Congress, insurance companies and
bankers are sending hundreds of their
own mortgage debtors to the FEEDER
al Home loan banks in an endeavor to
convert their mortgage mistakes into
cash.
Building and loan interests are
willing to shoulder their responsible
it les by bringing mortgage funds in
to the American communities and
have SO demonstrated by the ~alacrity
with which they have joined the
Home Loan Bank System even before
it had made its initial loan.
Any banking sySem to be a.success
must look beyond the lending posi-
bilities Of its capital stock. A comm
ercial bank must so conduct its af-
fairs as to attract deposits which
constitute by far the larger part Of
its available working funds. In the
same manner, the Federal Home
Loan Banking System must look be-
yond its 1874 900 900 capital to the
possibility of its expansion to $780,.

holding their own against the state

Thomas ]. Wilson, registrar of the
university was the main witness and
he was examined and cross examin-
ed by both sides. Hocutt's lawyers
finally got him to admit that Hocutt

Attorney General Gets Laugh
On Tuesday afternoon when final
arguments were made, the courtroom
was like a sardine box. A mass meet
ing of colored people had been held on
Sunday and hundreds of people pledg-
ed backing for the fight. The spect-
acle of colored lawyers bravely and
skilffully attacking the age old jim
crow practices fired the imagination
and loyalty of the citizens who had
remained quiet or hostile up to then.
1t turned out that not only were
Mccoy, Pearson and HASTE fighting
against the attorney general, but
they were up against brilliant legal
minds on the law faculty of the uni
versity. The university's final brief
was drawn with the assistance of
Dean M. T. Van Hecke and Prof r
H. Wettach of the faculty.
In the final fifteen minutes alIot-
ted to him for argument. the attor-
ney general drew an unexpected big
laugh from the Negroes in the court
room which effectively took the wind
out of his plea. He pointed u that
for IA years the university had been
for whites and he said:
Il think there is a deep motive be-
hind this suit and / think that mo-
tive is that this 'Nigra' wants TO as
sociate with white people"
The speaker evidently thought he
would get approval from the whites
and fearsome silence from the Ne
groes. The whites did not say any
thing OF change their expressions
The Negroes broke out into a loud

IMPEACHMENT I

Federal Judge Charles E. Wood
ward, of the Northern Illinois
District, will be impeached in
the House next week if the re-
port of the bar association con-
firms unofficial versions of its
contents, Representative Saoath
CD of Illinois said today.
SABBATH received copy of the
bar associations finding for which
he asked yesterday, as soon as
he learned it had been filed. He
said:
81 shall study the report over
the weekend. I have not made
up my mind as to when 1 shall
act. / may be ready to bring
the matter up Monday"
The gist of the bar association
report Is that Judge Woodward
gave receivership and bankruptcy
cases to the law firm of Loucks,
Eckhart & Petersen so freely
that the fees amounted to more
than $25O,000 in the 19-month
period. Woodward's son, Harold
C. Woodward, was employed by
the firm, first at a salary Of
$4,000 which later was increased
to $4,000, the report said.

PROFESSORH HITS
EMBARGO USE

The embargo as a means Of
settling international differences
was hit as a clumsy weapon by
Prof. Joseph P. Chamberlain, of
Columbia University, before the
American Society of Interna-
tional Law at the Willard Hotel
today.
More than 800 members of
the society from all parts Of.
the country are attending the
annual gathering. which is con-
Sidering the topic of problems
in law arising from war.
There is no reason why the
embargo should not be used in
time of peace by a nation to
secure redress, Prof. Chamber
lain pointed out. but the prac-
tice is highly dangerous.
It's use is justified only as
redress for a serious wrong, he
held, and pointed to the difficulty
of enforcing an embargo in view
Of the widespread world compro-
mise.
The League of Nations in Art
icle 16 provides for an embargo
as a means of settling disputes. he
pointed out, but this section has
never BED n invoked, and he said
that he holds it to be an I'M
practical section.

Other farmers joined the argu-

Twenty Of the agrarians as

On the courthouse lawn the
farmers, joined by five masked
men, adjusted moose about
Judge Bradley's throat and
started to hang him. They
threatened to carry it through
if he held that the debt relief
