Wor-T Torn Spain Honors
u. S. Constitution

THE birth of a republican Spain
l. dates to the fall of Alfonso
XIII who with Queen Victoria and
the Royal Family went into exile
April ii, 1881. Alfonso had been
king since his birth in 1886.
No sooner had Alfonso quit Ma
drid, without formally resigning
the throne, when a republic was
proclaimed under the provisional
presidency of Niceto Alcala Ia
mora. Later, popular election
was held, a Republican Parliament
(Cortes) was organized, Zamora
was chosen president, and a con-
stitution was established. Zamora
was removed April 7, 1886 and
the Cortes chose eX-premier
Manuel Azana president.
/ The new Spanish constitution
provided for separation of church
and state, made education entirely
secular, provided for the division
of the large estates among peas
ants, confscation of church prop
erty and other SocialiStic aims.
Then July 19, 1886, Gen. Fran
cisco Franco struck against the
Popular Front government Of the
Leftists. Spain has been gripped
in bloody civil war since.

SOCIOLOGIST SAYS WHITES
ARE IGNORANT OF NEGRO
PRESS

Chapel Hill, N. C.-(C)-T. G.
Standing of the Oklahoma Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college
writing on 1.-THE Possibility of a
Distinctive Culture Contribution
from the American Negro" in the
current Social Forces, published
here, says, "The Negro press, of
which white persons are almost
wholly ignorant, is both a refiec-
ton and a powerful stimulant to
this racial movement"
The movement which Mr.. Stand
ing mentions is explained when he
says, "The modern Negro feels
that, like other racial groups, he
must have past of which he may
be proud. He must have pioneers,
adventures, and worthy racial
history which will fire the patriotic
imagination of colored youth"

were more than 100 people in at
tendance. Group singing was led

State Senator Jacob J. Schwartz
wald, chairman, announced this
week that the Commission will
hold public hearings in Brooklyn
on Nov. / and 2, in an effort to
substantiate Investigations made
by the field staff in that borough
this month. Special m p h s
would be placed on employment
and housing, he said.
1--WE realize that no successful
attack can be made on the second
airy problems of New York's Ne
gro citizens" he said, until the
basic handicap of inadequate in
come is removed. Bad housing,
Juvenile delinquency, high mortal
ity rates and attendant evils will
continue as long as vast areas Of
possible and preferred employment
are barred to large percentage
of the colored population"
The housing situation among
Brooklyn Negroes was brought to
public attention recently when the
Brooklyn Federation for Better
Housing submitted the findings of
a slum survey to the New York
Housing Authority.
This report, blanketing twenty
two blocks in the borough, charged
that 85 per cent of the 3,421 tene-
ments occupied by 4,S12 Negro
families have no hot water, 26 per
cent have no bathtubs or showers,
and 1911 per cent no private indoor
toilets. Eighty-four per cent OF
these dwellings, many of which are
frame buildings, are from forty to
fifty years old, the report stated,
and liza per cent were termed un-
fit for human habitation. No new
buildings have been constructed in
the area since 1880, the survey
showed, and 80 per cent OF the
present buildings are owned by alb
sentee landlords.
