Good Crowd
Attends FAC
Council Meet

Notwithstanding most unpleasant
weather conditions prevailing last
Sunday, a very generous group of
citizens came to the Phyllis Wheatley
House at the urgent behest of the
Minneapolis Emergency Advisory
Council, one of the members of the
national body organized by the Ma
tional Urban League.
w. M. Smith, President of the local
Council, in opening the meeting
stressed the need for fuller COM
prehension of conditions as they exist
and are affecting the Negro people and
especially called attention to the many
determinations being practised in the
south in the administration of the
codes. He warned that the situation
called for the most careful thought
and action of the group and gave this
as most important duty of the FAC.
WHO NEEDS WORK was the sub
ject discussed by Chas. w. Washing
ton, Executive Secretary of the Twin
City Urban Leagues. The speaker
sought earnestly to impress his hear
ers with the fact that in these perilous
times many people heretofore beyond
the need of work find themselves at
one with the many who need and
must have aid, preferably through
work given by the CWA The situa-
ton, Mr.. Washington said, should les
sen criticism from those who feel that
they alone should benefit from the
government generosity. The princi-
pal talk was made by Talmadge B.
Carey on the subject of the Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation. Mr..
Carey had prepared his material with
great care, his talk exceedingly lucid
and convincing was listened to with
intent earnestness and at its conclu-
sion, he answered the questions pro-
pounded by the audience which proved
Of interest and understanding,

Cuba's Dictator
FulgeDcia Batista
Has Negro Blood
IN AMERICA HE WOULD BE
NEGRO"

Havana, Cuba, Feb. 1.-The fact
that the virtual dictator of this Island
is what we would call a Negro in the
states is admitted now by American
correspondents of dailies who have
sought to keep from American daily
newspapers and news reels the fact
that Fulgencio Batista, commander in
chief of the Cuban land, water and air
forces, is mulatto.
Time Magazine Admits Race.
The first of the American periodi-
Gals to admit that Batista is muIatto
is "Time" Magazine which in its Jan.
20, issue calls Batista quarter white,
quarter black, quarter Indian and
quarter Chinese" which in America
would, no doubt, make him Negro.
Virtual Dictator
Batista, who rose from the rank of
sergeant in the Cuban regular army
to the post of Colonel and commander
in chief in the revolutionary forces, is
practically the dictator of the Island
republic. American observers credit
him with the naming of the latest
president, Carlos Mendieta. Batista
has two children, one of which is very
fair and the other dark, as often oc-
ours in American Negro families.

HAIL OPPOSITION
T0CENTRAL BANK
Some Bank Circles Relieved
by Reported Stand of
Administration.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 22.-Deep
sighs of relief were breathed in some
banking circles at news from Wash
ington that the administration is
preparing to combat the expected
move in Congress for central bank
or central monetary authority.
Proponents of the plan have de-
MED that it contemplated anything
of the sort.
The basic idea Of the central none
tary authority plan, which was sug-
gested at the last session Of Congress,
and has since developed into CEN
tral bank plan, has been the removal
of monetary and credit control from
both bankers and politicians and
vesting that control in sort Of
monetary supreme court.
Ruinous Imitation Feared.
Many bankers assert, however
that it would not work that way and
that the net result might be ruinous
imitation.
While few bankers have spoken
publicly of their fears Of the central
bank movement, James P. Warburg,
vice chairman of the Bank of the
Manhattan Co., went so far as to say
in a recent address:
Although it is not generally real
ized. the private banking system is
on trial for its life. The case is now
being prepared by the prosecution.
The President is the judge and Con-
gress the jury. A decision will prob
ably be reached during the coming
Winter" He describes it as choice
between individual capitalism under
democratic government and state
capitalism under the tyranny Of q
totalitarian state"
Warburg and other Wall Street
bankers acknowledge the need for fur
ther banking reform. They say the
hodge -podge of 40 banking systems,
48 States and l national, loosely knit
together by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, is far from ideal
Compromise Plan Talked.
The Treasury some time ago as
sembled a group of economists and
experts to examine central banking
and make recommendations, and it is
now reported in authoritative quarters
in Washington that compromise
plan, improving and unifying banking
control by building the Federal Re-
serve System into a better and more
modern structure, is likely to be ad-
vanced.
Washington has traditionally SHE'D
away from a strong central bank Of
the Bank of England type, for fear it
might fall into the grasp Of Wall
Street. 1t was chiefly for that reason
that the Reserve system, when finally
decided upon, was split up into IL
regional banks, controlled by a board
in Washington appointed by the Pres
ident.
A number of Wall Street banking
experts insist that the Reserve System
has been brought definitely under the
thumb of the Treasury, and point to
the unsuccessful efforts Of the New
York Reserve Bank to raise its re-
discount rate to check the stock mar
ket boom, months before the market
ollapsed of its own weight.
