African Wins Prize
On Race Relations

NEW YORK, July 3. (CNA)-
Wycliffe Tsoti, a young African
won the first prize awarded BY
the New History Society on the
topic: How Can Youth Develop
Harmonious Relations Among the
Races Of the Earth"
Tsoti, who is II years old, is a
teacher at Blytbwood Institution IN
Butterworth, a town of 575 inha-
bitants situated atithe extreme tip
Of South Africa. The award a.
mounts to $4,000
In his paper, Tsoti stresses the
economic causes Of racial antag-
onism. He says;
THE economic development of
the continents of Asia, Africa and
America by Europeans was mainly
due to economic considerations.
These countries being undeveloped
afforded vast fields for exploita-
ton. The Europeans fought and
annihilated or subjugetea the orr
ginal inhabitants of these count
ries.
Where the aborigines persisted
they were turned into hewers of
wood and drawers of water for the
white man. Hence arose the anal
ogy of white capital and colored
labor which has far-reaching psy-
Geological effects. The relations
Of white and negro became that u
snaster and servant"
In the field of concrete action,
Tsoti urges that all books and films
which preach racial hatred be boy
cotted, and that those that demon
strate the necessity for united ac-
ton by people of different races
be encouraged
The prize winning paper will be
read at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Lewis Chandler, 1872 West 65th st
by ]. Franklin Bourne, member
of the American Student Union and
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.

viewed Joe Louis coming out Of

day. After announcing they were
glad it rained on June 10. so Joe's
out-of-town fans would have to
stay over another day and spend
more money, they are now bemoan-
ing the fact that Joe lost, as the
tragedy left Harlem broke, busted
and disgusted." Restaurant owners
are especially hard hit. For over
a week hardly anybody has eaten
anything but sandwiches and soup.
And the sad part Is, they don't
know when the public viii be flush
again. They wish now the bonus
payoff had come a week later, or
that the fight had been held a week
earlier.
