We congratulate r W Penn for
the fine piece Of work he has ac-
icomplished in publishing the d.
re,rory of the Booker T. Washing
ton Trade Association and the De-
l,roi House Wives League We al
50 appreciate the part the Tribune
independent has taken in printing
this splendid publication.
When you place this directory
along side the old one that Mr.
Penn published some three years
PAST. YOU get picture Of the
growth of the Trade Association
and of the spirit of cooperation
upon the part OF Negro business In
Detroit
All along il has been said that
our professional men and women
were not cooperating in what the
Trade Association and House
Wives League were doing. How
ever. when one looks within this
directory and sees that the ply
sicians and attorneys lead all 9TH
er groups In number listed. you
cannot but have respect for their
spirit OF cooperation in making
success of this publication.
There are many who belong to
the Trade Association who aid not
think il worth while to even take
a line in this directory They feel
that they will profit on what has
been done to organize our people
in support OF Negro business Just
as much by refusing to buy one
line. as they would by helping TO
make the directory possible.
Mr. Penn has had 10 face their
absolute Indifference and go ahead
in spite Of them. What we want all
who live within our house TO do is
Ia remember these who are in the
iirectory. We have no word against
hose who have not helped. Some
VI them are very successful. 1t is
i great pity that men who know
,etter are possessed with so much
lttleness and meanness as to pre-
,ent them from doing big things.

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER SAYS WAR AFFECTS ENTIRE WORLD

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Prime Min ister Stanley Baldwin. in a speech before a peace society here, said q am told that broils of other na- tions are not ours. Does anyone think war can be limited to two nations, and that meanwhile we can trade profitably and happily with both belligerents alike in prosperous neutrality? Modern war between two great nations is like one of the great convulsions of na- ture in early geological ages. The map of the world has to be re- drawn in the end"
 He added that cooperative eff forts for peace by the League Of Nations meant nothing if they were not prepared after grave, careful trial to take action to en- force it's judgement.
