There are still many race-loving,
self-respecting Negro people in

demonstrated by the response Civ
en- the call TO arms made last week
by Leroy White of the Hamtramck
office of the Tribune. The two

under way. All those who are in
terested in the advancement of the
youth of the race, and the race in
general, have expressed their de-
sire to join this crusading move
which is aimed at electing a Ne
gro to the school board, and no
minating a member Of the race to
the council at the next city cleo
ton. Most of the citizens were ex-
tremely pleased that the drive was
also aimed at the ousting OF City
Treasurer John Anger, whose lily
white attitude has been resented
by colored people.

spect committee will be held with
in the next two weeks. The an
nouncement of time and place will
be made known through the col
umns of the Tribune next week.

Wide Open Campaign Brings
 Many Issues On AH Fronts
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

AS convention time approaches, it becomes increasingly clear that the coming conflict will be no marrow" campaign-either in the geographical sense or with respect to the range of the discussion
 Often the earlier months of cleo tion year see some main battle ground selected, and the issues sorted over so that one or two come sharply to the fore. This time the process has been reversed.
 A year ago it appeared that the Democrats were preparing to make no more than perfunctory cam paign in the East, but would con- centrate on an effort to find a winning combination in West and South. In consequence, the Repub- licans were expected to regard the East as safe, and go West. Now it appears that both East and West, and perhaps parts of the South, will be in the zone of active strug- gle.
 Similarly, many politicians have forecast a straight-out conserva- tive-liberal contest, with the Re- publicans keeping well over to the political right, and the Democrats swinging definitely to the left. Now some of the more experienced doubt seriously whether any such thing will develop

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Week after week, the friction and turmoil abroad becomes more por- tentious.
 Italy's conquest and annexation of Ethiopia leaves the European and League of Nations crisis more of a menace. Internal strife in Austria brought new dictator. And in the Far East, Japan mobilized more thousands of troops in North China
 With the formal annexation of the conquered empire of Halle Selassie, Victor Emanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy and Emperor of Eth iopia
 The Council of the League conven- ed Monday to consider the con- quests of Ethiopia. It was clear to all that, for the time being, there would be no change in attitude to- ward Italy; nor would there be rec ognition of the Italian annexation.
 Instead, the League definitely rec ognized the continued existence of the Empire Halle Selassie aban- doned before the sweep of the Ital- ian invaders. At it's first session, the Ethiopian delegate occupied his customary position at the Council table.
 Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Il Duce's delegate, stalked out of the Council session, refusing to sit with Wold Marian, Halle Selassie's represen- tative.
 Thus, there was no surprise on Tuesday at the peremptory order from Rome, instructing the Italian delegation to leave Geneva immed- lately. Thus far, Il Duce has not followed up this threat; he has not announced Italy would quit the League of Nations.
 Within an hour after Aloisi and his aides left Geneva the Council of the League adopted a resolution saying there is no cause" for aban- doning sanctions.
 After saying further time was necessary to consider the situation created by the serious new steps taken by the Italian government" i" the Council postponed it's deliber- ation on the Ethiopian conquest un- til June Is.
 In the midst of this concern, Qua temala served notice it was with drawing from the League. Geneva had a new worry-did this presage widespread departure of smaller nations?
 The Central American nation. however, said it's action was prompt ed by the heavy cost resulting from membership in the League

DEMOCRATS INVADE EAST

One of the chief geographical surprises has been the increasing volume of Democratic claims in the vastly important Eastern States of New York and Pennsylvania
 Outwardly, these claims cite the large aggregate majority rolled up last fall by Democratic candidates for the New York Assembly, and the marked increase of Democratic registration in parts of Penn sylvania which formerly were solid ly Republican.
 Under the surface, the Democratic talk is based also on the fact that carefully organized Democr shock troops already are actively mobilizing as far East as Massa- chusetts. The Republicans dispute that any of this territory is doubt
