PEACE OFFERS

yTHE agreement between Mussolini and his cabinet

Ethiopia did not and the League would not dare
too knowing that the Philippians are great lovers
Of their freedom.
1t seems that the great man Of Italy has tread
on dangerous grounds and now is left in a terrible
situation. He wants to get out Of war if possible
but he expected territorial grants from other pow
ers who were 50 ANXIOUS to maintain peace through
out the world. These powers instead are preparing
to wal on him and this does not meet his ends. He
does not want war and does not need it.

Entente surprised the dictator when they presented

t. protect the women and gracefully order the
troops in East Africa back home. In that way no
one would dare suspect the mighty man Of being
a coward.
He wants to civilize Ethiopia. There is a lot
that he could teach these people who are very re-
lig-ous and peace loving. The oldest known civiliz-
alton in the world and yet this country over run
with ignorance will take to task to civilize. The
good dictator while he is in the mood for civilizing
nations might invade Germany and stop the merci-
less treatment Of Jews, or he might invade the
Southern part of the United States and civiEze the
ignorant whites who prosecute another race. And
while he is at it go into South Africa and then to

THE WAY OUT
BY Loren Miller
Especial to CNA)
PEACE AT ANY PRICE

Congressman Mitchell recently de-
livered himself of theopinion that ev-
orything the N. A. "A. G. p. does is
vicious, a comment made to report
rs who queried him on his attitude
toward the graduate students. What
eve else may be said about Mr..
Mitchell's observation it cannot be
called surprising; it is certainly con-
sonant with past performances.
From the first it has been plain
that the Chicago congressman Is an
advocate Of compromise. His theory
i that the way for Negroes to get
along 5 to acquiesce in discrimina-
tons imposed upon them. He shuns
all actions that might embroil him
in a fight with those who have poll
teal and economic power and justi-
fies himself on the ground that in
time Negroes viii be given their
rights in return for humility and nom
resistance. Education Of our enemies,
he is fond Of saying, will finally soft
en- their hearts and solve our prob
lens.

NORDIC SUPERIORITY
BAH

THEf fight is now over. There are many who have
received the results with joy and there are those
whose pride is buried beneath the sod at the re-
suits. Whatever the case may be there is one thing
certain and that is, the best man won and decisively
so.
The action Of the throng that filled the
Yankee Stadium to its capacity was that Of any
normal crowd. No outburst Of any kind. The 1900
policemen looked silly trying to keep peace at this
peaceful fight. The much and oftimes mentioned
riot which Arthur Brisbane glorified in his columns
failed to materiaEze. The only riot in the park was
Joe LOuis.
The true spirit Of craftsmanship knows nc
color line and the residents Of New York for the
greater part are people who recognize ability as
the outstanding quality and not color
And where was the Nordic supremacy that 50
many people claim is bound to win? Where was
the yellow streak that SOM poor fish said existed
in all Negro fighters? Those myths were exploded
Tuesday night and to the delight of the greater
part Of those 10000 people. There is no Nordic
superiority and there is no yellow streak in the
Negro who has determination. Joe Louis will reign
as king Of the ~heavyweights until the nordics bring
up a man who can lick him or wait until he gets
too old to fight.

CCC AND THE ARMY

A LTHOUGH America has announced her inten-
= = tons to remain neutral in any and all European
affairs pertaining to wars does not mean that she IS
not prepared to defend her borders from foreign
invasion. The horrors Of the last war is indelibly
stamped on the minds Of Millions Of American who
now realize that war does not pay, and 50 a neutral
course is wise.
The Civilian Conservation Corps with 100000
young abled bodied men can be transformed into
fighting regiments on a moments notice. In many
camps they have discarded the axe for a gun. They
are trained and disciplined by army officers who
carry them through regular army routine. In this
manner our standing army has been increased with
out attracting the undue war fever that has invad-
ed European countries.

A TORY FIELD DAY

1T WAS a Tory field day Tuesday.
The biggest Tories shouted the loudest-in de
Tense Of the Constitution, the historic document that
was born in revolution and that proclaims the
rights Of the masses to free speech, press sand as
semblagel
1t is indeed significant that on precisely the
same day that the flannel mouthed orators Of the
American Liberty League and the various officers
organizations shrieked their defense Of the con
%stitution, Tom Mooney in the California Supreme
Court. was denied certain legal rights requested by
his counsel
Not a peep out Of the defenders Of the Constitu-
ton on Mooney. Or on Scottsboro. On on Angelo
Herndon. Or on the growing vigiIante terror
against strikers.
No, what they demanded is that the Roosevelt
administration cease any demagogic talk of amend
ing the Constitution and become even more reac-
tionary than it is today. This was the real meaning
behind the speeches Of the representatives Of the
most reactionary circles Of finance capital Tuesday.
Nor can the Roosevelt administration speak
with grace OF the Constitution and constitutional
rights. The present administration has dealt some
heavy blows at the constitutional rights Of the mass
es IN the last three years. Not one responsible adj
mlnlstration official has come out against the whole
wave Of recent a~ntilabor egisllation. On the con
trary, leading Roosevelt lights have been active ia
pushing laws meant to hamstring labor.
The real defenders Of the constitutional rights
81 the masses are. neither in the ultra-reactionary
American Liberty League nor the Roosevelt admin
~lstratlon. The defense Of the few remaining demo
cratic rights Of the masses is the task Of the vast
masses Of the American people-the workers. farm
ers, mtellectuals and lower middle class.
To the job Of uniting these various sections Of
the American people in one powerful party Of work
ers and farmers as a bulwark against reaction. the
Communist Party is dedicated.-Dail Worker.

Blind Alley

Mr.. DePriest's philosophy as enun-
ciated in his latest speech is one that
will retain and accentuate the wealth
for the few and poverty for the many.
In other words, he is giving support
to a scheme that keeps Negroes pow
erty stricken and hence unable to Sc
cure those rights that h shouts they
should have. Mr.. Mitchell is willing
to say that Negrots should not fight
for their rights. Mr.. DePriest is will
ing to support a system that pre-
vents them from securing those
rights. And what is the difference?
Neither the cowardly advice of Mr..
Mitchell nor the Observation-Disclosures
speeches Of Mr.. DePriest has value;
both nd in blind alleys. | am well
satisfied with Mr.. DePriest's retire
ment to private life and | suggest
that Mr.. Mitchell be sen to join him

this country. And the Germans are correct. To
live in a glass house means not to cast stones and
the Southerners who live in cages have nerve to cast
a cannons.
The southern gentlemen obviously take it that
their prejudice is a fixture and that it Is taken for
granted. Out Of the goodness Of their hearts they
cannot stand to see a man derled his rights and
want to stay out of Germany. The American Olym-
phic team goes to Germany in the 1886 games and
viii win as many first places as her men can gather.
The outstanding members Of the team will be Ne
groes and few if any Southerners will be on the
team. 1t is for this reason that the generous men
of the South want to stay at home in 1886.

Your Task
BY Arthur B. RhinOw
(For the Literary Service Bureau

The other day I was reminded Of
an incident Of my childhood. Ny
mother and I were On a river steam
er going at a fair speed, when an
other, q faster boat, overlook US. 10
my surprise and dismay We seemed
to be going backward as the other
coat gradually passed us,and / must
have looked dazed, regardless of ex-
plantations from fellow passengers.
But, though the other boat was fast
er than ours, we reached our desti
nation, nevertheless. How foolish il
would have been for j captain to
race with the other boat instead OF
adhering strictly to his course.
Sometimes, in life, we seem to be
going backward when others pass
u.s.. But if we stop cycling the other
boat with a greening Of the eye, and
concentrate upon our own ship, we
shall probably find that we arc hold
ing Y own and doing well. Blessed
arc they that have found the work
they believe God wants them to do.
They will not envy others or indulge
n foolish racing; they will address
themselves to their own tasks with
wholeheartedness and joy. 'Let 9TH
ers make 3 money or gain more

Mr.. Mitchell's enemies are forever
comparing him with his predecessor,
Oscar DePriest, when they want to
picture him as a craven coward and
an Uncle Tom They recall Mr.. De-
Priests assault on segregation in
the Capitol restaurant, and his brave
words AGAINST all kinds Of discrimina-
lion. They remerher his attacks on
the South and his castigation Of
lynching. The inference is left that
Mr.. DePriest was as brave as Mr..
Mitchell is cowardly.
AS an opponent of MI. Mitchell's
theories | can never quite accept this
estimation Of Mr.. DePriest. In fact,
I cling to the opinion hat beneath the
surface the two are as alike as two
peas in a pod. It happened that while
M. Mitchell was castigating the N.
A. "A. G. p. Mr.. DePriest was assault
ing all suggestions to tax the rich
and proclaiming them as our best
friends. Stripped Of n-on-assentials
MI. DePriest's plea was that the rich
be permitted to pile up as large for
tune as possible without being ham
pered by taxes. They will return it
in charity and philanthropy, he ar
gued.
The Omaha guide., 1935-09-28

DePriest toured the large cities in
Guiding New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Cleveland, Detroit and st.
Louis and urged the Negros to as
sort their racial independence and
dominate political units to which race
prejudice had assigned them as Chi
cago had shown the way. He called
upon them to elect their own Alder
men, State Legislators and members
Of Congress wherever race predomi-
nence justified it.
Thus Professor Gosnell has given
US Chicago as a model and guide post
for the Negroes political life in the
large cities Of the North. He does
not touch upon its repercussions up
on the Southern political situation.
but the fact that two Negro Magi-
strates were chosen on the Democrat
ic icket in a Southern city in the last
election is significan and suggestive.
