TRADE PARLEY
IS REJECTED
BYBALDWIN

LONDON, Feb. 16 G.N.SD.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
in the House Of Commons today
rejected an appeal that Great
Britain summon a world economic
conference.
The suggestion had been made
by Arthur Henderson, former Brit
ish cabinet minister and one-time
president Of the disarmament con-
ference.
Henderson, in urging Baldwin
to summon the economic parley,
recalled the recent statement Of
American Secretary Of State Cor
dell Hull that an adequate revival
of world trade would be the most
powerful single factor in leSSening
the danger of war. Then he asked:
"That being so, would it not
be worth your consideration to
secure the cooperation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to make another
attempt to solve these prob
lems?"
Baldwin replied:
81 think we should all find
ourselves in agreement with that
statement, but according to our
information the present is not
a favorable time for such action.
If 1t were so, / would consider
it."

ADVERTISING SELLS COMMODITIES

Before Thanksgiving this year, progressive food stores Of
the country carried ON an aggressive turkey sales campaign.
More turkeys we're sold than ever before, and at prices that
were attractive - consumer II well as producers.
Sales methods varied somewhat in different localities
but the participating stores seemed to appreciate the value and
necessity of newspaper advertising. For example, here is an
excerpt from the report of one large chain system: News
paper advertising was carried in all the principal metropolitan
and rural newspapers in our Before our Thanks
giving demands had been filled there was decided scarcity of
turkeys of the top grade is Our market Another group of
stores reported 1--WE have advertised turkey in approximate
ly $50 newspapers this week as well as 100000 circulars which
were distributed to the consuming publics homes. Present in
dieatons are that we sold about 30 per cent more turkeys for
Thanksgiving this year than a year ago.
Newspapers have been Il potent factor i'm other food sales
campagns-sueh as the recent beef and real drive. Similar
future campaigns-of which the first will feature grapefruit
are planned.
tits apparent that this is good business all around-for the
farmer, for the merchant, for the newspaper and for the com
sumner. In the past, some Retailers have attempted to eliminate
newspaper adverhsing-and they have usually found that it
was the poorest kind of economy. "The paper"-whether it
be daily on weekly lis a fixture of the American home and
finds an eager audience.
Food stores-chain or independent-which have not yet
joined in special selling campaigns would do well to take a Leaf
from the book of the stores which have. Pay the farmer a fair
price, charge the consumer a fair price, advertise extensively
and consumption of commodities scars.

National political interest has naturally been focused on
ments have come in for only a modcum of attention.
In 1887, however, local politics will be Of vital Importance
During january, no less than 43 state legislatures viii convene
Before these legislatures will be many highly important
questions. One of those question is that of reief-Federal APP
preparations for this purpose are gradually being reduced, and
tremendous pressure viii be brought on states to appropriate
funds to supplant lost Federal dollars
Only a handful of states have passed laws to bring their.
citizens under the Social Security Act In the bulk of states
such laws will be up for debate and considerable dissension is
in prospect.
Furthermore, in practically every state local problem Of
more than ordinary significance will be an issue. The ques-
ton of public economy and taxation is looming larger every
day-and the collection and disbursement of public funds is
being more closely scrutinized. In at least one state, Califor-
mia, revision of the state constitution is considered.
Thus, during the next month or two, more of the political
news in your newspapers will be given to state activities.
Long debated has been the proposal that the President of
the United States should be restricted by law, to but a single
term of six years duration.
Prime argument in favor of the proposal is that under pre-
sent conditions, Presidents are virtually forced to build poht-
ical fences during their first term in am effort to assure their
reelection. The single term would stop that long established
practice.
A bill to pave the way for a Constitutional amendment
making the proposal the law of the land will probably be in
troduced in Congress.

THE DIGEST
The New Year
By Floyd J. Calvin

History turns a page. The white
races are still far in the lead. The
black ace sufferd a tremendous SCI
back when Mussolini's legions mar
ched, without opposition, on the
gates Of Adds Ababa.
But now a new year dawns. What
will the Negro in this country dc
in 1897?
There r many hopeful sign that
the Negro will achieve this year in
new fields-in new realms. Most inn
portant among these is politics and
government. Until the Negro get
3 real hold on his government, he
viii continue to be kicked and
knocked around. Until he IAN make
his strength felt in our system of
acquiring power through the popu-
lar will, his best will remain the
footstool Of the humblest of minor
ity and the majority group.
At the last election we saw signs
of a new awakening among the Ne
gro populace. We saw arise a new
Consciousness by the powers-that-
be in the privy councils of the ma
jor parties.
Will the Negro follow up the ire
mendous gain in prestige which
came from him when Franklin D
Roosevelt went back into office by
carrying 46 states?
There r signs that he will. AL
ready a meeting is being called in
Washington to consider and plan
for major improvements in Negro
life. Leaders from all walks will
and deliberate on the best
policies to pursue, the best methods
to use 10 get the maximum from an
admittedly sympathetic admins
Lration for the whole group.
And there is another encourag-
ing sign. The youth of the land is
getting a chance not only to be
heard, but to help in the formula
ton and administration of poll
,ies which affect the Negro nation
ally. A young man as advisor on
affairs to the Secretary of
the Interior. A young man is laison
in the CCC organization for
colored enrollees. A young man is
Commissioner of Cancellation in the
Department of Labor. A compare
young man is spokesman for
the group in the Office of Educa-
ton.
Let us all work hard and hope
for the best in '37, and, most likely
will get very nearly what we
work and hope for.
