Russia Angrily Warns
Fascist Nations

IT ELP given the Spanish insur-
IL gents by Fascist countries so
enraged soviet Russia that she gave
notice that, unless it ceased h e
would free herself from any obli-
cations to the agreement for neu-
trality. The representatives of the
q nations on the international COM
mittee of non intervention in the
Spanish war were about to meet in
London, and Moscow's challenge
caused a real sensation. Moiseyvich
Kagan, soviet delegate on the COM
mittee, specifically named Portugal,
Italy and Germany as the offenders
and called for an investigation. 1t
is believed that if Russia is not
satisfied in this matter she will send
airplanes and other war material to
the Spanish government.
The committee refused to take any
action on the Russian complaint,
averring that the charges were not
specific enough.
Spanish Fascists pushed their
lines so closely around Madrid that
they called on the government to
surrender the capital Immediately
and thus save it from a destructive
bombardment. An airplane fleet
showered the city with circulars tell
ing the citizens that further resist
ance was useless, One of the most
threatening of General Franco s
advances was directed at Aran-
juez, whose capture would cut off
Madrid's food supply from the Med
iterranean.

Swanson's Hint to Japan

a S THE time for the expiration OF
"A the Washington naval treaty
draws nearer, the utterances of Sec
rotary of the Navy Swanson take on
more and more the nature of sharp
warnings to japan not to get too
gay in the Pacific. In press con-
ference the other day he said
Qualifications are intended to an

must be met by another menace"
And he gave notice that the navy
should be ready to do the necessary
meeting.
About the same time the State

Great Britain, for an extension of
the treaty pledge of the three
nations not to build new fortifica-

Pessimism Prevails at
Last League Session
a

SSIMISM and discomfort
marked the final session of the
League of Nations assembly, the
leaders admitting that little had
been accomplished. Carlos Save
dra Lamas of Argentina, president
of the assembly, even asked if he
might not raise the question wheth-
err civilization is on the verge of a
final breakup"
The question of reforming the
league covenant provoked bitter
controversy on whether nonmember
states should be consulted. Russia
was understood to be anxious par
ticularly to bar German influence
and achieved minor triumph since
no definite action to solicit nonmem-
Der cooperation was taken. A COM
mittee of twenty-eight was named
to study reform proposals.
The assembly approved reports of
it's economic and disarmament COM
mittees. The economic report
carried a British proposal to create
a Commission to study accessibility
of raw materials. The United States
and other nonmembers would be in
vited to participate. The report of
the disarmament committee ap-
proved the reconvening of the world
disarmament conference at an early
date.

CAMPBELL Is CoLORED

American race and color pref
udice is perhaps the most curious
phenomena this side of Mars. Or
dinarily the Negro is branded as
such in the public prints. But in
the case of E.. Simms Campbell,
the youthful genius who won the
Hearst cartoon prize of $1,000, in
the numerous long articles, detail
ing his career from childhood
through public and high school,
and even marriage, no mention of
color was made. And no photo
graph of Mr.. Campbell was pub
lished.
Why couldn't Arthur Brisbane,
highly paid Hearst chief editorial
writer, wax eloquent over Camp
bell? No, it would spoil his "go-
rilla" and ''hippopotamus eating"
theories. Mr.. Brisbane's own paper
pays a colored boy $1,000 for his
highly touted mental work." and
dares not mention his color. Yet
the Scottsboro boys were head
lined as Negroes" in the same
paper.
On the one hand, Negroes must
fight against color; and on the
other, they must battle to be
known as colored.
Too bad the thousands of white
youth who read of Campbell's feat,
and assumed he was white, could
not know the truth. That would
have been a telling blow against
lynching and discrimination. Of
course Hearst editors know that
only too well.-Calvin's Column.

Twin Citians Pay
Honor to Phyllis

A crowd of people about equally
divided between the colored and
white groups filled the gymnasium
at Phyllis Wheatley last Tuesday
night upon the occasion Of the 18th
annual dinner given under the aus
pices OF the Phyllis auxiliary.
The tables pleasingly decorated
seated many of the best known
men and women Of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. The dinner was ex-
ceptionally well cooked and the
guests were vocal in their appre-
citation. The head resident, Miss
w. Gertrude Brown, was most con-
siderate in her annual report,
speaking of those matters only
that were obviously most impor-
tant and interesting. Entertain
ment during the progress of the
dinner was given by Miss Kath-
crime Mitchell in vocal and instru-
mental selections on the piano. A
musical band composed of small
infants with a diminutive leader
won rounds of hearty applause.
Following the dinner a play was
presented by a group of young
dramatists. It was an amusing
skit producing many laughs and
many concentrations. The chorus,
developed from WPA workers of
Phyllis sang several numbers and
did them well. Altogether it was
a well arranged and colorful af-
fair and the thanks of the presi-
dent of the Auxiliary was given in
generous measure to the staff, the
Community Fund and all whose
contributions made it possible.
