We wish to drop a suggestion
here. That is, kindly patronize our
dvertisers-the people who are
helping to support the hometown
newspaper, the Tribune, the pa
per which is so vital to colored
Detroiters. It is a paper which
gives employment to a large force
OF mechanical workers, office en-
ployees, together with a large num-
Der of outside agents and fleet OF
newsboys all working, living and
spending their money right here
in the Motor City.

Small Business

It is encouraging to see the de-
tense being made of small bust

business" men. against remarks
by some of our learned academi-
clans. The truth is, big business
can grow only from small bust
ness. and if we say there is no
chance for small business among
Negroes. then there is no chance
in business at all for Negroes. OF
course that is not true, for bust
ness among Negroes is a fact
which can be determined purely
| by observation.
There is much room for inn
lprovement i'm business among Ne
groes, and it must be admitted that
the size of American business en-

More Negroes can and will en-
ter business in a small way. There
they will learn the rudiments OF
lbusiness-the basic principles of
buying and selling, of rendering
service and discharging response
bility Of saving money and invest
ing it to make more money. When
these lessons are learned, and
more education is gained, business
among Negroes will grow to ever
increasing proportions.

the result that war-like powers have

would feel safer. But we ought to be
free to deal with our own special

will come when such principle will
be accepted.

W.P.A. CURTA|LS
BENEF|TPR0JECTS
Growing Scarcity of Work.
ers on Roster Here Hits
Playground Jobs.

Because of growing scarcity" of
workers on the District w. P. A.
roster, due to gradual demobiliZation
of the huge work-relief force. some
projects planned for the benefit of
the unemployed have been dropped
and others are ION the skids," Dis
trict officials disclosed yesterday.
The District Playground Depart
ment was one of the first Govern
ment units to feel the pinch of the
changed circumstances, under which
the w. P. A. job situation is exactly
the reverse from what it was last
Fall.
All playground w. P. A. projects
have been abandoned, it was an
nounced. Some are to be resumed
this week, it was said, but others
must await a time when there may
again be skilled mechanics available
for assignment.
Construction of field houses at the
Mcmillan and New York Avenue Play
grounds has been halted. w. P. A.
workmen we're taken off these prof.
ects and assigned to others, where the
need was deemed more pressing.
Change in Situation.
Last Fall some department heads
having w. P. A. projects protested
they could take care of no more men
on operations than in operation. To-
day the strange picture is presented
OF some officials engaging in spirited
arguments to keep w. P. A. men as
signed to them on projects.
Partial demobilization of the w. p.
A. force was started in March under
Federal orders. District officials then
were ordered to reduce the w. P. A.
force to $500 by June 80. There were
then nearly 5000 men and women on
the w. P. A. rolls.
About 100 since then we're dropped
either because the clients found jobs
in private employment or merely be-
cause of the orders for diminution of
the size of the w. P. A. force.
Officials estimated there are now
1900 on w. P. A., so that about 800
more will have to be dropped before
Tie eIlQ Ol u6AL lHUiltll.
Completion Desired.
Since the w. P. A. program is to
be continued through the next fiscal
year, though on a reduced scale as
compared with the present fiscal year,
officials hope to be able to complete
all construction programs which
would prove a waste if not finished.
The history of relief work project,
however, is sometimes uncertain, it is
recalled. The Mcmillan playground
field house, for instance, has lived
through three administration pro-
grams for the unemployed. 1t was
started under the civil works program
in 1888. When the c. w. A. died,
this project was picked up by the
Emergency Works program. And
when the E. w. A. died the project
was revived by the now existing Works
Progress Administration. The field
house is said to be now about seven
eighths completed. While work has
been halted, playground officials hope
it again will be resumed and finally
completed.
w. P. A. projects, like other relief
plans, were developed for the purpose
of giving work to needy persons on
the relief rolls who were employable,
but who could not find jobs in private
industry.

HERR|0T REVIEWS
ITALYS WAR PLAN
SpecuIates Openly Whether
MussoIini Has Inten-
tions of Conflict.
Hy the Associated Press.


PARIS, May 16.-Edouard Herriot,
the former premier, who has been
mentioned prominently as Frances
new leftist foreign minister, speculated
openly tonight on whether Italy has
warlike intentions in Europe.
He asked the following questions in
an article published in q weekly news
paper at Lyons:
rs 1t true that Italy just has signed
a treaty with Albania for the con-
struction of Notifications near the
Yugoslav and Greek frontiers.
"Is it true the Dodecanese Islands
have been transformed into a war
arsenal?"
Meanwhile. the outgoing Sarraut
cabinet decided to leave the Italo-
Ethiopian war question in the lap OF
the incoming government.
The minister. meeting late today,
decided to confine their efforts to
"dispatching current business" in the
face Of the probability they will be
turned out of office when the Cham
ber of Deputies conyenes, June !.
Scan Cabinet Prospects.
The Socialists, led by prospective
Premier Leon Blum, tonight scanned
lists of cabinet candidates in which
the names of past government lead
ers were mentioned prominently.
High in the list was Herriot, whose
cabinet was overthrown because of
his insistence upon payment OF war
debts to the United States.
Herriot, it was reported, was sug-
gested for the foreign affairs post, but
had not yet replied to preliminary pro-
posals. Similar overtures were said
to have been made to two other pos
sible candidates for the portfolio.
Blum, however, may retain the i'm
portant foreign relations ministry for
himself, it was indicated. Other sug-
gestions to replace the present minis
ter, Pierre -Etienne Flandin. were Ca
mile Chautemps, former premier and
minister of the interior, and Joseph
Paul Boncour, Frances present envoy

Action on Reeds Motion.
The delegation took this action on
the motion of former Senator David
A. Reed, who will be Pennsylvania,s
representative on the Committee on
Platform. In making the motion,
Reed said:
"A number of the delegates signed
the pledge. which is contained in the
nominating petition, TO support the
popular preference for the presidency
as expressed in the primary election
Of last month.
MANY of those signed that pledge
inadvertently without realizing its
purport.
Nevertheless, If there Is to bs
good faith in political matters
it seems to me it is imperative that
on the first ballot, at least, or until
the success of that candidate becomes
manifestly impossible, it Is the bounden
duty Of those delegates to observe
that pledge"
Unanimously Adopted.
Reeds motion was unanimously
adopted without discussion, and was
the one political development of the
day in which the Pennsylvania Re.
publicans prepared for the coming
election.
Prior to the caucus, the State Com
mittee met in biennial session and
reelected M. Harvey Taylor Of Har-
risburg, as State chairman, and Sc
lected State Senator G. Mason Owlett
Of Tfoga County. as the national COM
mitteeman, to succeed Reed.

Delegates Vote National
Convention Stand.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-The un-
instructed Pennsylvania delegation to
the Republican National Convention
voted today that delegates who pledged
themselves to support the popular
choice for President at the recent
primary should stand by their pledge
on the first ballot, or until it became
manifestly impossible that their
choice could win.
The only name officially entered
on the ballot at the April % primary
was that of Senator William e.
Borah of idaho, who received more
than 100000 votes, according to un-
offcial totals.
It was unofflcially estimated at the

approximately 20 delegates had
pledged themselves to support the
popular choice, pledge not legally

The AAA did not halt this flood of fore
closures. 1t did not strike at fundamental
ills as is shown by the $4,000 forced sales
in 1885.
BY forcing Congress to pass the Frazier
Lemke Refinancing Bill, farmers would
tighten their debt burdens and check MANY
thousands OF foreclosures. Before the
House will vote on it, 218 Representatives
must sign a petition asking that it be
brought out on the floor. At one time or
another, 237 Congressman have put their
names on the petition; but pressure applied
by the administration and by big business
has forced many of them to withdraw their
names. At no time have the necessary 218
names been on the petition at one time.
