laundering around in this supreme

i. He blundered when he made j
hostile attack On coordinate
branch of government, instead Of. as
the head u the executive branch,
simply laying the matter before the
Legislative branch and suggesting the
changes which he recommended.
Z FIe blundered by doggedly
hanging ON TO false position, even
after everybody else saw what j
deadly and endless fight was going
to be made against it.
.. After being decisively licked,
ne blnndered again By announcing,
heroically that when the next con-
gress conyenes, he intends to make
all Of his blunders over again, i'm
short, BY proclaiming that he had not
learned q thing.
4. He blundered when he planned
To put on the Court his Senate lead
en-, Joe Robinson, Of Arkansas, in
order to win the favor of the Solid
South, Robinson, whose best quail
ifieation was that OF ploddine party
hack-horse, a good cog IN its ma
chinery, on a partican wheel that
seldom strayed from the rut. Death,
who is not always a malevolent agent,
rescued the President from that
biunder.
5. But in spite Of death. he blun-
dered worse yet, by nominating Hi
go Black for like rasons.
6. Then in the face Of strong CO.
position to his appointee from soureas
that should have been respected, .4e
blundered by his failure to inflnel &c
the judiciary to hold hearings and
allow American citizens to state
their cases, for and against Black.
A little more time, and the newspaper
investigators, who seem to be a bit
ahead of his Department of Justice,
might have saved him worlds of en-
bafrassment.
q. And now he blunders as it
seems to us no schoolboy should
blunder, by posing as if he can do
something about it after the senate
has confirmed his appointment. This
is one occasion, Mr.. President, where
time is not of the essence:" for
Hugo Black, who has been member
of the high court for only few
days, is just as far beyond the reach
of executive control as is Charles
Evans Hughes, who has been on the
court twice, and for many wears. Only
the congress can impeach and re-
move Black, and they cannot do 81
without good constitutional "cause,"
and it is not 4 good enough cause.
LEGALLY speaking, that Black il more
loyal to the Grand Dragon than to
+he New Deal. We wish yon could
heve him impeached for lying. or
allowing his friends to lie. about his
membership in the XII Kliix Klan,
but We fear you cannot. He fooled
You, but even that is not an inn
peachable offense
And what will be the next blund--
srg Doubtless we shall soon sea.

Colleges Advertise

-
It is pleasant to note, this year, the
increase in advertising done by our
colleges. This means that higher
education is becoming more popular,
and that it is profitable for the
college administrators to actively
promote it.
1t is encouraging to note that the
major part of this advertising is be-
ing done with the newspapers. This
means our newspapers are now the
accepted channels Of communication
with the intelligentsia by our college
executives. For a long time it was
argued that our better informed
people did not read the colored news
papers. This argument is no longer
valid. We have. proof that people
of college level now accept the Negro
press as matter of course.
Now perhaps we can get some more
of our business institutions to loosen
up On advertising appropriations IN
the colored newspapers. They see
the colleges doing it. They can no
longer claim, with any degree OF
confidence, that their ads. won't be
read bv persons in the upper IN
come brackets. We believe that il
more of our social institutions, such
as the YMCA, and the YWCA, would
set aside certain amount Of money
to be spent regularly for advertising,
, they would experience more healthy
growth in the community in which
they operate.

Dining East and West


The fouding Of the magazine Ser
vice. at Tuskegee Institute has fo-
cussed attention on the art of pre-
pairing and serving meals for the
public In our own group, there IS
room for study and comparison, and
improvement, in this field. On a re-
cent trip to Chicago and points
South, we had an opportunity to
take note. Dining frequently IN
Gray Shop No. on Seventh Avenue
III Harlem, where genial John y.
Thomas does all in his power to pro-
vide good meal in cheerful en-
vironment, and where money IS con-
stantlv being invested in modern inn
proyements, and time is spent IN
schooling employees on how to han
die the public, our standards of COM
parison were rather high. But on
dining in Morris's Perfect Shop on
East 47th Street in Chicago, we
found similar methods in vogue. AS
Mr.. Thomas came up from Orlando,
Fla, and made good in Harlem, M.
Morris came up from small town
in Oklahoma and in a few years es--
tablished the most elaborate dining
salon on Chicago's South Side.
Nowhere else on the trip did restau--
rants come near these two places IN
the combined elements of food and
it's preparation, service, and the en-
yironment in which the food IS
served.
If the restaurant business is to
make progress in our group, more
proprietors must take a broad view
Of the customers welfare, cater not
only to his palate, but to his desire
to have the utmost in courtesy ana
attention from those serving him'
Not "a few customers are lost be-
cause service IS below the standards
Of the chef.

Calvin 5 Digest

The book on race relations is one
In which the sociologists will be in
terested, the "new Negro" caring
little for the deductions of white
writers on such d subject.
Prof. Brawley's book is significant
In that he brings our heroes down to
date, including Joe Louis and Jesse
Owens, and that he widens the scope
Of this type Of work and includes
business men and women, like John
Merick, founder OF the North Caro-
lima Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and Mrs. Maggie l.. Walker, banker
of Richmond, Va.
Miss Hurston's new novel carries
on her own inimitable depletion of
Negro life in the lower strata. Her
cericatures, however, seem made
to please certain whites who, deep
in their hearts, love the Negro
stereotypes.
III. liuggin's book on African
nislory is lull OF lnspirational MAJ
terial, anu should be read for It's
information. TOO many OF US really
don't know what is benlnd yesterday.
We accept false propaganda from
| whites, and even from the unlnforn-
ed Of our own group, because we
don't know any better. The infor-
nation in the Huggins book is cali
culated to make our youth proud OF
their own.

TR0TzKY ASKS
EXTRAD|TI0N
TO RUSSIA

MEXICO CITY, April 10 dN.S).
Trial" Of Leon Trotzky, exiled
Russian BolShevik, on charges OF
plotting agains the Stain regime,
was scheduled to be continued to-
day after Albert Goldman, his
counsel, formally notified the COM
mission Of inquiry Trotzky was
willing to stand trial for extradi-
ton to the Soviet Union.
Trotzky Is ready to proceed to
any country Soviet Russia may
designate for an extradition hear
ing, Goldman said.
Only One Faithful
Meanwhile, Trotzky testified
that after his feud with Dictator
Josef Stain grew serious, and he
was placed under surveillance OF
the Soviet secret police, only one
follower remained faithful to him.
This follower was Alexandranova,
his former wife, Trotzky saids add
ing.
"They sent her to Siberia and
separated her from my grand
children. I know nothing about
their fate. But she remained
loyal. All the others capitulated.
Many Of them became my most
bitter enemies"
Trotzky said his sister also was
sent to Siberia.
Tells Of BluTnkin
The name Of Blumkin was in
jected into the testimony when
Trotzky said this was the man
who assassinated Count Mirbach,
the German ambassador, and who
also betrayed Karl Radek, Soviet
newspaper commentator recently
sentenced to prison as q Trotzky-
list. Trotzky lauded Blumk1n'S cour-
age. He said: -
"Every time we needed . cOur-
ageOus man, Blumkin was ut my
disposition. He belonged to the
left opposition. He was never ex-
PEELED for he was very cautious"
Ready to Go to France
TrotZky denied the Soviet lead
erS condemned at the first Mos
COW trial were his followers.
He declared the Moscow pro
ceedings, to be fair. should have
included him as a defendant. II
Stain disapproveS his presence
on Russian soil even as a defend.
ant, TrotZky asserted he stands
ready to face trial before an in.
ternational tribunal in France.
Radek Called Traitor
Asked whether Radek had &C
tually conspired with him to give
sicles Of Russia to Japan and Ger
many If they ousted Stain,
Trotzky launched a venomouS at
tack on Radek.
Radek's confession" at the
Moscow trial, said the Soviet ex-
lie, was the falsehood Of ian
odious traitor"
Stalin's View on Radek
He declared Stain himself
should have .repudiated any
statement by Radek, declaring:
"In o speech in 1924 before
the Communist party congress,
Stain said of Radek, Most
mems heads control their
tongues, but RadekS tongue
controls his head"
Trotzky then pointed to
Radek's repeated attacks in
which he wrote of Trotzky as "a
super-bandit," "headman Of the
Fascist band" that leader Of
aSSasSins, Trotzky," and so on.
While his wife sat in q corner
watching him through a lorgnette,
TrotzkY. surrounded by books and
q large file Of newspapers, an
swered the questions Of Prof. John
Dewey, heading the American
trial" commission, and Carleton
Beals, author and commission
member.
