both sides. Assemblyman William
4. Andrews representing the lodge
was granted until Monday Of this
week to file a brief in the case,
and as a result no decision is ex-
pected until the end Of the week.
The case grew out Of 3 move
on the part Of the State Insur-
ance Department to dissolve the
lodge because Of its failure to
meet death claims and sick bene-
fits. totaling nearly $4,000 Notice
was served on the lodge officials
to show cause why the lodge
should not be dissolved. Members
of the lodge contend that it does
not come under supervision Of the
State Insurance Department se-
cause the membership for the last
quarter of 1886 fell off to less
than 1000 the necessary number
to bring state supervision.
It is the first case of its kind
in the state and other f~raternal
groups are watching the outcome
with keen interest.

ELKDOM AND LEADERSHIP

We notice with some dismay and disappointment
that Manhattan Lodge No. 45. LB.P.O.E. Of W. New
York; has been moved against for dissolution by the
Stats Department of Insurance of that state for the
pon-payment Of death claims and sick benefits to the
amount Of approximately $4,000. Unfortunately, the
management and financial operations Of both the ma
tional body Of the LB.P.O.E. of w, as well as many
branches have at times been severely questioned. The
local order Of that splendid organization has had its re-
verses. and the integrity of its leadership has been.ques-
toned.
It's failures and mistakes have been due solely and
entirely to mismanagement and poor business methods.
Opportunity abounds for the successful operation
Of lodge with the sound and elevating principles al are
espoused by the IB.P.OE of W. Good management
and conscientious adherence to the principles of the Or
ganizatio4 are essential to its elevation to a point Of
success, here and everywhere. Thus operated, good and
constructive work can be done, which will reflect in the
elevation and advancement Of the Negro wherever a
weI-organized lodge of this body is conducted. It is up
to the membership of the I.BP.OE. of w. here and ev-
erywhere to see to it that it's leadership is capable, con-
~scintious, able, honest, fair and unselfish.

Elmer A. Carter.
Addresses Seattle
BIZ ArIIne D. EngIlsh

One of the greatest orators of
the Negro race has been to Seat
tie and left a message that win be
long remembered. With an UNI
daunted courage, and faith in his
people. Elmer Anderson Carter
spoke with force and conviction as
he showed his people the necessity
to start for Mecca" ut is far
better that you die in the sight of
Mecca, than to never have start
ed"
The First Church should have
been crowded to its capacity, and
Seattle citizens should have been
content to sit for hours as this
able speaker, with profound wis
dom and deep sincerity urged
them with flawless language, to
bestir themselves out of their leth-
argy and come over into the pro-
missed land This can be done only
by intense training, by qualifying
for the skilled trades and profess
sions, and by being just a little bit
better qualified than the other fell
low.
Mr.. Carter not only spoke to
the colored community, but also,
in their behalf, before two groups
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
the Civil Liberties Union. With
unaffected charm and grace, the
gentleman from New York told
these groups the prevailing condi-
tions among Negroes for which
they were largely responsible, then
asked them what they were going
to do about it. "Old reasons for
prejudice and hatred have actual
ly gone" he explained, but the
psychological attitudes (which are
n~eedless) exist after the stimulus
has passed Schools r teach
ing courage and hope, men are be-
ing advanced on the basis of mer-
it, which includes industry, art,
and business. The question is,
what answer can white America
make to the Negro? Must they
live a life of hopelessness, or shall
they have an opportunity to live
out a normal expression Of cour-
age and hope?"
The fact that Mr.. Carter is a
graduate of Harvard is not his
sole bio to fame. He is a man well
versed in the affairs of the world,
is forcefully articulate on all pha-

Hull Protests German
SIurs on Jews, But
Nothing on Negroes

WASHINGTON Secretary OF
State Corden Hull on Thursday
ordered Ambassador William E.
Dodd at Berlin to make emphatic
comment" on the slurs of the Ger
man press on the Women's Divis-
ion of the American Jewish Con-
gress as a result of Mayor La
Guardia of New York's attack on
the Hitler regime in an address
before the Congress on March 8.
It was revealed that many of
the slurs by the German were "un-
printable the Nazi press refer
ring to the women as "prosti
tutes.' who were addressed by a
"pimp.7 The State Departments
protest, however, has caused con
siderable comment among Negro
citizens, who were recently scored
by the Nazi press and no protest
was made by the American Gov
eminent. Just two weeks ago the
Nazi press said of Negroes: Ne
groes simply cannot be civilized.
In America all men are equal.
They go about elegantly clothed.
If outraged farmers did not oc-
casionally hang one of them this
picture of complete equality would
be undisturbed."

WiIbcfforce Editor
Says Strong Drink
Is on the Increase

WILBERFORCE, o. ~ calvin
service)-DrinliTlg among college
students, both men and women. is
on the increase. according to an
editorial captioned "student Drink
ing'' in the current Negro Jour-
nal of Religion" edited by Lendell
Charles Rirley.
The editorial says: "A recent
survey made on student drinking
reports that women students have
lost their aversion to drinking, and
that drinking by both mile and
female students is on the Increase
"A report of this character ought
to be viewed with alarm. First
because Of the detrimental effects
Of drinking upon the p%hysiques of
the drinkers and upon the children
that may ultimately be born to
them. 1t should next be regarded
with in view of the impli-
cation to character and the gen
eral moral life of the nation. If
the educated of the land turn
intellectually to drink there is
little hope for the unframed. Then
there is the matter of the cause;
if conditions in the world are so
bad that even the children must
drink to escape their troubles it
is time for the elders to reorgan-
ize society and make living more
tolerable.
Whatever may be the cause,
something sensible should be done
to teach the youth of the day that
they can't make it to a successful
career on a wine glass. The words
of Solomon are as true today as
when first spoken: Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is raging,
and whosoever is deceived thereby
is not wisel'"

probably a bill reported"
Another significant and suspic-
ious aspect Of the Mitchell move
is the fact that Mr.. Mitchell early
in the session asked Mr.. Gavagan
for the privilege of placing his sig
nature in the number two petition
on the Gavagan petition. MI. Nit
cliell then was in full agreement
with the Gavagan procedure and
evidently believed, as did everyone
else, that there was no hope of
getting the bill through the ju-
dietary committee in the regular
manner
Furthermore, it is reported here
that in an address to the Washing
ton Bar Association on February
10, Mr.. Mitchell stated that he
thought he had the best anti-lynch-
ing bill in congress, but that he
was not going to push his bill,
but would support Mr.. Gavagan's
bill in return for which Mr.. Ca
vagan would support Mitchell's
civil service bill.
Now, just when it appears that
there is an excellent chance of
bringing the anti-lynching bill to
the floor through the Gavagan Pc
tition, Mr.. Mitchell suddenly dis
covers that Chairman Cumners
will hold hearings and Mr.. Nit
chen accordingly has refused to
sign the Gavagan petition.
