NAL that he had advised Negroes
regarding their actions In the Ital-
isn-Ethiopian situation was made
by Representative Arthur w. Nit
chell, of Illinois. directly on his re-
turn to this city last week.
Congressman Mitchell, whose
frequent statements have kept cri-
ticism piled about him since being
elected, was reputed to have ad-
vised Negroes not to demonstrate
against Italians in this country.
Several white papers, including
many in the South, Immediately
published editorials lauding Nit
chell's stand.
The Negro Democrat said here
that while he saw the attitude of
Italy as being a well planned and
deliberate move to exploit what
she regards as a weaker nation"
he refrained from recommending
any course of action to members
of his race IN this country.
Negroes, he added, should not
be held responsible when they are
attacked. as they were in recent
cases. He referred to Incidents in
