Crowd Hears
Minda Speak

A large crowd attended the an
nual race relations dinner spon-
sored by the interracial committee
of the Minneapolis Urban League,
Wednesday night at Minnesota I'm
ion.
Rabbi Minda emphasized the
fact we can't take democracy for
granted. We must work actively
to preserve democratic institutions.
He related instances from his
ten weeks tour of Europe last
summer, showing the tremendous
emphasis on racial differences and
the clamor for uniformity of race
in the totalitarian states.
"More than ever BEFORE" the
speaker said, eve must focus the
attention of the people upon the
inalienable rights which are every
mans privilege by virtue of his
being born into the human family.
"These rights are those which
America cannot lose sight of if she
is to maintain her democracy"

Catholic Paper
Hits American
Race Hypocrisy

NEW YORK co. - American
hypocrisy on the Jewish issue in
Germany was scored by The Com
monweal, 386 Fourth avenue,
Philip Burnham and Edward Skill
lin, Jr., editors, a Catholic weekly
review of literature, arts and pub
lie affairs, in it's issue of December
2. In it's leading editorial the mag
azine gave considerable space to a
full discussion of the Nazi atroci-
ties, and concluded as follows:
However, though Jews are not
race, the colored people are. 1t
is blood that Identifies them. And
though Nazi Germany and Fascist
Italy are the outstanding preach
ers of racial intolerance today, we
make bold to assert that the United
States is the outstanding practiser
of racial intolerance. There are
100000 Negroes in the United
States as against 100000 Jews in
Germany and $4,000 in Italy. We
need not detail here the well-known
facts of racial oppression in Amer
lea - Observation-Disclosures, social
ostracism, economic discrimina-
ton, educational, cultural and hy-
gienic neglect, religious segrega-
ton, ghettoism, lyhching and the
rest. They are so well known that
we are callous to them. The still
small voice of conscience has been
stif1ed in their regard. This is our
national shame! It is ardently to
be hoped for that the present crisis
of the Jews will provoke wide
spread self-examination of con-
science in America and efficacious
resolution to mend our ways. Can
we point out the mote in a brothers
eye, while there remains a beam

The Halle @. Brown Forum will
discuss on Sunday, Dec. II, at 4
p. m, an issue which has caused
considerable comment throughout
Negro America. "Should Negroes
Join Labor Unions
This will be presented through
the panel method with William
Heron, Samuel Ransom, and
Frank Boyd taking part in the
panel.
Some of the issues to be dis
cussed are: Should the Negro join
a union which will not give him a
chance to hold office? Should he
turn his back on his employer? If
he can not join a union should he
become scab? Should black and
white workers unite? Who is the
Negroes best friend, the union man
or his boss?

some power to protect against in
lection and is present IN most
fruits. More especially an antl-ln-
fective vitamin, however. is Vita

nitely as valuable as a preventive
against colds. It is found IN put-
ter, cheese, carrots, spinach and TO-
matoes, or can be obtained IN con-
centrated form from the druggist:
Proper ventilation in American
homes, Offices, stores, factories and
movie houses is @ore important
than diet in preventing colds.
Germ Causes Colds
These factors are, however, only
contributory to catching cold. The
primary cause of the common cold
is a germ, one Of the family known
as the filterable viruses. 1t has
been isolated and cultured outside
the body by DR.. A. r. Dochez OF
New York, and sprays Of this Gull
t,lre in the nose result in an actual
attack Of q cold. DR.. Dochez writes
me however, that the report that a
successful vaccine had been pre-
nared was untrue. We have as yet
no true vaccine as a preventive Of
the common cold.
The fact that a spray Of the virus
In the nose will cause an attack
proves that colds are contagious.
They are probably contagious only
in the very earliest stage. After
the virus has entered the nose It's
she. this becomes sensitive, and any
number Of germs appear causing
the later stages Of pus and mucous
discharge, expectoration, etc. In
this later stage a cold is probably
not contagious at all. But in the
first swelled-up-nose, stuffy, sneez-
inc period it is contagious. There
fore, a hot, dry Office or moving
picture theater, plus half dozen
people in the early stage, means q
good chance for catching it.
