Father La Fargo
Urges Races To
Closer Unity
NEW YORK PRIEST SAYS PER-
SONAL CONTACT IS SUREST
WAY TO UNDERSTANDING

Racial prejudices between whites
and Negroes best can be over
come by personal contact between
groups of both races studying their
common problems, Rev. John La
Fargo of New York said Sunday
night at meeting of the st. Paul
Interracial conference in the au-
ditorium of the College of st.
Catherine, Randolph street and
Cleveland avenue.
More than 500 persons, both Ne
groes and whites, attended the
meeting at which several speakers
dealt with the problem of racial
prejudices. W. H. Oppenheimer
presided. .-. ....
Experience has shown that per-
sonal contact is the surest and
quickest way to thorough under
standing and the best means to
overcome prejudices," Father La
Fargo said.
Although they live in the same
city and the same community with
Negroes, large part of our people
are entirely oblivious to the prob
lens of those of the colored race.
~ believe that more can be ac-
compished through personal con-
tact, preferably through the organ
ization of religious groups for a
study of mutual problems, than in
any other way. These contacts
should form the basis for an educa-
tional program to further overcome
racial prejudice"
Another speaker was Rev. H. M.
Marbley, pastor of Camphor Me-
mortal church of st. Paul, who
spoke on the "Objectives of the In
Cerraclal committee"
DR.. F. Stuart Chaplin, head of
the department of sociology at the
University of Minnesota, spoke on

Conflict"
!. Myrtle Garden, director of the

Approaching Primaries in
Key State May Deter
mine His Course.
BY NED BROOKS
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The
approaching presidential primaries
in such key states as Ohio and
Illinois may determine whether
Senator William E. Borah will be-
come the No. l "walkouter" of the
1886 campaign.
The possibility of a bolt which
would put the Idahoan in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's camp has been the
topic of political gossip ever since
Al Smith made his threat to take a
walkout of the Democratic con-
vention. Some observers see in
developments of the last few days
the pattern for a Boarh walkout on
the Republicans.
Although withholding his fire for
the opening of the Ohio campaign
on March 10, Borah is known to
resent the failure of Gov. ALT Lam
don and Frank Knox to accept his
challenge to compete in the Buck
eye primary.
Action Is Denounced
Borah Henchmen contend that
Landon and Knox, by boycotting
the primary, have given their support
to the "favorite son" arrangement
which Borah has denounced as a
hoax for control of delegates by an
old guard clique.
The Idahoan must now content
himself with fight against Robert
A. Taft, designated by Ohio
regulars" as the favorite son. If
the Borah slate is defeated in Ohio
and the old guard movement is
successful in other states where un-
instructed delegations are being
sought, he may decide that his fight
for liberalism within the party is
futile, some observers believe.
A desertion by Borah also would
hinge on the platform to be written
by the Cleveland convention, poll
ticians concede. The Senator has
served notice he will fight for a lib
eral platform.
Democratic leaders, mindful of
Borah's powerful following west of
the Mississippi, have kept the way
open for his possible support of Mr..
Roosevelt.
Borah himself has centered his
fire on the reactionary elements in
his own party and has avoided the
sniping at the New Deal in which
other Republican aspirants have in
dulged.

ITALY IS TOLD
EranCo-BritiSh Proposal Is

ASKS END OF WARFARE
Urged to Begin Negotiations

Bg United Press

81 United Press
GENEVA, March 3.-The League
of Nations Committee of - today
adopted a resolution appealing to
Italy and Ethiopia to make peace
agreement within the framework
of the League"
The resolution, offered by Great
Britain and France, was coupled
with an appeal to the warning ma
tions to begin negotiations at once
with view to ceasing hostilities
The committee, comprising all
members of the League Council ex-
cept Italy, then voted to reconvene
on March 10. Italy and Ethiopia
thus were given one week to con-
slider the appeal for peace.
If Italy rejects it, the Leagues
General Committee of Is on pen
altles is expected to proceed
promptly to impose an embargo on
shipments of oil to Italy.
The Franco British resolution was
adopted at a session which lasted
only Is minutes. Although the ap-
peal was regarded as the Leagues
last alternative to imposition of an
oil embargo, it avoided all appear
ances of being an ultimatum to
Italy by not directly fixing a time
limit for reply and by not in
Sisting that Italy cease hostilities
before peace negotiations are
started.
The resolution was described of
ficially as being "a pressing appeal
to the two belligerents for immedi-
ate opening of negotiations within
the framework of the League. and
ting spirit of the covenant"
In anticipation Of probable re-
lection of the proposal by italy, the
Leagues committee of oil experts
will meet during the week to devise
machinery for application of an en-
barge. The penalties committee of
IS also is to continue work on
means of reinforcing existing sane
tons.
There was some feeling here that
Premier MuSsolini might agree at
least to discuss peace proposals. He
could thus seek to prolong negotia-
tions indefinitely while his army adj
vances in Ethiopia and the League
delays the oil embargo.

caused great confusion in the
bookkeeping system, but COM
pany treasurers and controllers
do not like to have even small
transactions outstanding.
Maybe Mr.. Douthirt was
possessed with the collectors in
stinct. He proceeded to save all
of his dividend checks, ranging
in amount from a 31-cent regular
to a $567 special. Frequent let
tiers from company officials, ask
ing him to cash them, failed to
move him.
He even held out during the
depression. Recently, when the

sary to retire the outstanding
stock, Mr.. Douthirt finally agreed
to get into step with his fellow
investors.
