SUPREME COURT PROTECTS MINORITY

Proposals TO limit or abrogate the powers OF review Of the
Supreme Court ofthe United States have been made often in
late years-and, for the mos. part, have come from representa-
tiyes Of radical organizations.
This. is an ironical situation when the Supreme Court IS
the foremost protec. or of the rights and Liberties Of radicals Of
conservatives, as well as all others. Case after case could be
cited in support Of this.
A recent action is in point A Portland, Oregon, commun-
ist, Dirk DeJonge, was arrested at a ommunistsponsore meet
ing, convicted and sentenced to a long prison term and a heavy
fine under Oregon's war-born criminal syndicaism law. The
case was appealed through the state courts, which held The law
Constitutional
Then an appeal was taken to the United States Supreme
Court. And on January 4th in a unanimous decision read by
Chief Justice Hughes, the Court set aside the sentence and held
that the Oregon law, as applied in tMs case, was repugnant to
the process clause of the Constitution-the clause which pro-
tects the rights Of free speech and assemblage. tt is now believ-
ed that this decision will strongly and favorably affecte the
cases Of other radicals convieed under the Oregon act.
Tie Supreme Court has always been a fearless defender

troy it. The Supreae Court has always been a fearless defender
of civil riehts-freedom of speech, feedom of the press, free
dom Of assembly-and especially the rights Of the minorities.
Being immune to politics and to pressure of any kind, it can
and does resist the hvsteria of the moment so that the Constit-
ution, in sprit as well as word, may be preserved, and America
mav remain a free nation.

ABYSSINIA'S WAR AND AFTER
By Marcus Garyey. Ion

by Marcus Garyey. London, Eng.
The American Negro is the
most loyal, self-eonscious and
expressive member of the racial
group. He is never wanting in
his response to racial appeals
that stir him to the possibility
of real service, religiously, po-
litically and otherwise. He has
never failed those who appeal
to him. Most of the time, how,
ever, he allows his enthusiasm
for racial causes to get the bet
ter of his Judgment, and then,
when the truth is brought home
to him, he becomes disappoint-
d and disguised. Efforts should
be made not to spoil his good
dSspohition sud character in
this respect, for he ii is who is
leading the world of other Ne
goes in their true responsible
.ity TO the race in the hope of
solving a problem that calls for
the most serious application.
The Italo-Abyssinian War
had an immediate appeal to the
American Negro, like Negroes
in all other parts of the world,
and his response was immedi-
ate and most enthusiastic.
Unfortunately when Ethiopia
ntered upon the war and befor
there was no organized intelli-
gence about its true position
among Negroes anywhere. II

New York Situation

RALPH O. GOTHARD of New York, former executive
secretary of the Harlem Business Mems Club, says:
when we started the club in 1881, defeating it to big
ger and better local business, and advising Harlmtes not to
buy where they couldn't work, some of us were regarded as
fanatics. Now there are very few stores in the community that
do not employ one or more Harlemites and several hundred
found employment on 125th Street during the Christmas Holt
days. Negro-owned business enterprises ae no longer hidden
away in easements on the side streets; you can find them
everywhere, clean, progressive and as prosperous as the times
will permit.
"It can positively be said that Harlem is no longer a
sleeping giant. Credit should be given to many organizations,
some now extinct. The UNTA, headed by Marcus Garvey was
one of the greatest contributing factors. The Harlem House
wivess League. TIL GINA. th Aferiean Patriotic League, the Git
liens League for Fair Play, all of them reaching more or less
different grouns, Street speakers, led by Arthur Reid, Ira
Kemp of the Harlem Labor Union, have worked indefatigably
to bring about a new consciousness on the part of the buying
public.

ysslnia to get the right kind of
support that was absolutely me-
cessary at the very start of
things.
The lack of information am
ong Negroes of the world, about
Abyssinia was due to the fault
of the Abyssinian government
which up to that time took no
diplomatic pains of creating a
contact with the Negro peoples
of the world and particularly
those of America so as to ere
ate among them an interest that
was most necessary and vital
for a successful resistance of an
Italian or European offensive.
From our knowledge and ex-
perienee, we are able to say the
Abyssinian government headed
by Halle Selassie felt that its
existanee was possible without
any catering to and contact
with Negroes. In fact, they held
themselves to be a separate and
| distinct race from the Negro
race and the entir administra-
tive policy was to treat the
blacks as an inferior people in
whom they were not politically
interested, except for their en-
sgavement and exploitation

His exile from the country
will be as permanent as Musso-
lini decides. The hope of Abys-
sinia, therefore, rises with 9th
er forces than Halle Selassie.
Primarily it rests with the loyal
Abyssinians who remain in the
country and who must work out
a diplomatic scheme of surpris-
ing the Italians. This may come
through civil war, when they
are ready or through Italy be-
coming involved in an EurOp-
can war to render her incapable
of protecting her Interest in
Abyssinia.
To accomplish any good this
way, the Abyssinians and their
Negro friends must work quiet

agents have been working by

aticn. This group at present Is wag-
ing a fight against reductions and
curtailment in the government SER
vice, and has succeeded in winning
a number Of its fights.
Recently a new group came into
being under the guidance of Edgar
G. Brown, assistant to the director
of Emergency Conservation Work.
This organization comprised for
the most part are labors, messeng-
ers and those in the lower brackets
of government service, has adopt
ed a program calling for a $1,000
minimum basic wage for all gov
eminent employees, with automa-
tic promotions In all agencies; a
5-day, 30-hour week and optional
30-year retirement. It is also de-
handing that a Board of Civil Ser
vice Appeals be created, with at
least one coored member, to con-
slider alleged discrimination on the
part of government personnel Of
ficers.
This program was endorsed, and
adopted as a resolution, by mem
bers of the Conference on Negro
Affairs. 1t will be among the pro-
blems to be placed before the Pre-
sident for his consideration in the
near future.
Newest member of the official
family circle is attractive Miss Ven
ia V. Lewis, recently appointed to
the Children's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor.
Miss Lewis appointment was
made possible through an assign
ment of Social Security funds, which
will make available aid to Negro
families never before possible.
Under the maternal and child
health provision of the Act, which
will be administered by the Child
ren's Bureau, programs of public
health nursing service by Negro
nurses are being greatly attended,
training and supervision midwives
are being d~evelopled, short post
graduate courses OF institutes for
Negro physicians and dentists are
being started-in many instances
under Negro leadership-and de-
m%onstrations of maternal and child
health work are being set up.
Special attention will bs given
to the needs of Negro crippled
children. In many states hospital
and convalescent care facilities will
be extended to Negro children for
whom they have not been readily
available hitherto. Negro social
workers, trained in child welfare,
are being employed to extend the
services for dependent and neglect
ed children, and children in danger
of becoming deliquent, in many ar
cas-.

cades has been as libel in it's at

The new year is still young, but
already things r happening with
rather awe-inspiring swiftness here
in the nations capitol.
Insiders see in the emergence of
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune as a
top flight leader one of the most
important developments Of he past
few months.
A seasoned and perennial cam
paigner through countless years of
money-raising for her school in
Florida, Mrs. Bethune has gather
ed everything and everybody under
her very ample wing since her ar
rival here last June.
Today-with the possible ex-
ception OF Congressman Arthur W.
Mitchell-she occupies undoubted-
ly the most strategic position in
the administration, simply because
she has managed to bring together
for unified thought and action all
the Negroes high in government
authority. Only one who has been
in Washington for some time can
understand what a big order that
was.
The Conference on the Problems
of the Negro and Negro Youth
that Mrs. Bethune sponsored re-

the President came into the White
House that the Negroes he ap-
pointed to big jobs were able to-
get together and agree on any 10

between its members. Each had be-

own special job without bothering

The appointment of Mrs. Be-
thune as director of the hitherto ra-
her obscure Division of Negro At

ministration brought few hozannas
from the brown brain-trusters. Ell
Their they were unaware of her ire

things, or they underestimated the
potential power of her position. At
any rate they were unprepared for
the manner in which she took the
whole situation under her control.
Through sheer force of person
atty she drew the whole "Black
Cabinet together, first for a ser
les of meetings, then for the most
successful conference of Negroes
ever held in the capital. Out of that
conference the group emerged with
a single, clearly-stated program for

touches upon each phase of Negro.
life-a program hat is simple and
yet compltet, vis1onhry and yet
thoroughly concrete.
To this program the Negroes in
high places here are now pledged.
The course of each is plotted, and
in the measure to which h eac-
complishes the aims set down for
him will lie the measure of his use

On such a basis, at asst, the
"Black Cabinet" should begin to
function as a unit.

With labor unions intensifying
their activities in every section of

use proper judgment in the mat
ter.
Halle Selassie until his de-
feat and exile, only considered
Negroes as being of no conse-
quence, but his viewpoint must
not be considered as the view
point of the Abyssinian masses
who are as unfortunate as the
oppressed Negroes everywhere.
The American Negro should, by
his own agency, establish con-
tact with the Abyssinian Ne
groes for better understanding,
that they may work with them
for the future redemption of
the country in common with
the redemption of Africa. An
independent course should be
taken and no one should allow
himself to be deceived into be-
lieving that much more can be
accomplished through Halle Sc

unfortunately tile emperor
government was not am enlight
ened one, in the sese tina ii
could not understand an dap
preciate European diplomacy
and the methods of European
statesmen in preserving the po.
llitical independence of their re.
spective countries and in ca
tering to their respective peo-
pies.
The Abyssinian policy was
base don the absolute elevation
of the ruling classes and the
positive lack of national inter
est in the native masses. This
is contrary to the policy of en-
.lightened and civilized govern
ments where the rulers whether
they be kings, emperors, dicta-
tors or presidents, hold office
only as executive trustees for
the people whom they must
serve, the wishes of the said
people being supreme will and
law. With them, the people die
tate the policies Of government
and demand service from gov
eminent in their interest. With
Abyssinia, it was the emperor
who dictated the policy of the
government and he used the
government, people and country
for his own divint and person
al purposes. Naturally, such a
condition in Abyssinia would
make it rather difficult for the
government to rally the real pa
triotic support of tn epeople in
a crisis such as was brought
about by Mussolini.
Mussolini being an astute dip
'lomat and expert statesman,
phndered to the weakness of
the Abyssinian oppressed and
peror failed to feed them, to
equip them and to properly
neglected masses. While the en-
train and educate them, Musso.
lini stepped in after his invasion
and supplied their necessary hu
man needs, particularly in feed.
ing and caring for them. The re.
ult was a stampede of the Abys.
lsinians from the emperor to the
invader. This, more than any.
thing else, assisted Mussolin.
to conquer the country.
As bad an historian and psy.
chologist as Halle Selassie was
he overlooked the necessary
human elements-human aspi-
rations which were common tC
people of all races. He, instead
of providing for the Abyssin-
ian masses as stated, only pro
vided for himself. hence, wher
the fight reached its crucial
point, he had no one to stand
along side of him and so he had
to flee, leaving the people tC
the mercy of Mussolini and the
Italian hordes.
