LOUIS VICTORY MARKS DEFINITE
ADVANCE In NEGRO STRUGGLE

against that feudal order. Let i.
go n there with the white sharecrop--
per, the poor white mill halIu, Il
poor white in the ore mine. the s.esl
mill hand at the work bench with
all the democratic and progressive
forces. Let us go into the tight to
pass the anti-lynch bill. 1t can be
won. Senator Bilbo u mississippi
and the southern landlords are more
gouth than Schmeling. They are
linked up with Wall Street and La
Sale Street, but they can be beaten
if we will fight together.
There were vicious slsnders laun-
ched against Joe. But lie won. There
will be still more vicious islanders
launched against Us if we really stast
a fight with others who are exploited
and oppressed. But we, too, will
win. Reaction can be beaten, fas-
cism can be knocked out. But we
must train for this fight. We NUT
train on the day to day struggles fol
jobs from the utilities, for more ade-
quate relief, for decent schools, eae-
quate housing facilities, against jim
Crowism and segregation in evelv
form. Thee are teamlng bo is TO
the bigger strugg.e.
In the training bouts, we mast
learn to organized ourselves. We
nust build the National Negro Con-
gress and the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, the International Labor De-
fense and Other organizations Bot
we will have to do more. We will
have to get these organizations TO
act together, to act collectively.
In the training bouts, we must
organize the youth, the women, the
farmers, the workers, all who want
democracy and peace. Wit, 1t care
fui pa epa alton, careful training, the
bigger bouts can't be won that is a
lesson of the Louis fight Joe Louis
fought the fight But behind Joe
Louis was the moral strength Of the
people, Jack Blackburn's under
standing Of the fight game, his spar
I1ing partners, all Of " IN contrib
utea an inseparable part to his
strra gle. Behind our leadels must
Be HE same coordinated activity,
and al Of Us must also 90 inta
battle.
Cul freedom will be won only
through Struggle. The more and the
harder we struggle, the more lovers
Of faif rlay will we win 10 our
car8e. Sympathy is won through
struggle, and synpaehy in turn begets
as isiallca. The scottsboro case IS
proof Of that The lIerndon case is
more proof. Let Us prcpa to fight
for what il ours BY right Of or lood
sacrifice, by right Of our Constitution
let Us organize. Let Us unite.
! These are the next steps.

we go from here?s' he said. / did
-..-ss.sr at once, although / knew
full well that he meant, what follows
the victory of Joe Louis? I did not
answer Immediately because | want
ed to see the working Of his mind
What / saw was gatifying.
1t was clear that he saw the VIC
tory Of Louis as marking definite
advance in the Negro struggle. He
was thinking of the afight~ in terms
of politics. And ! the fight was a
political event highly dramatized by
the mighty fists of modest Negro
boy. \ MY friend saw the fight was
ushering in a new stage of struggIa,
and it does.
Joe Louis killed the idea Of Nazi
supremacy. All the horses Of King
Hitler will never put it on is feet
again. He laid to rest tie LEA oil
the supremacy of any racial or ma
tional group over another. The
color line in the baxing gan may
be revived again, but only W Ih the
greatest difficulty. All the big papers
will have to put all Of the '.es perts'
their pen prostitutes to the job Of
making the color line stick il it Is
injected in boxing again. Tie de-
feat OF the color lire IL ,,s;;:.a 's,..ss;;:..sa makes
the struggle against it in politics, in
economics, OH the eultuai Il cid, in
other spheres Of the sporting world
easier.
Joe Louis did this by fighting. Net
singly, for he had the moral support
Of 100000 Of Negroes and mil
lions of whites who hate fascism and
its iniustices. Jesse Owens did it BY
fighting. He fought every step of
the 100 yds.. Of cinder path to wia.
Nothing is won without struggle.
That is the lesson Of the victory Of
Joe Louis. Every one who loves
a man who viii fight against all odds.
That is another lesson. But more,
Louis is mastering his profession. He
who fights to save himself must mas
ter the theory and the art Of fight
inq. That 81 another lesson. Fight
ing is an art we learn BY ftghting for
Our rights.

A tell-tale flame in the technical
laboratory of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation has lighted the way to
prison for arsonists, thieves and hit
run drivers.
Bits Of criminal evidence, so small
as to be practically invisible to the
eye and too minute for chemical anal
ysis. are burned by $4,000 volts of
electricity. The light produced is
passed through . quartz prism, and
the resulting spectrum reveals what
chemical elements are in the ma
terial being consumed.
The spectograph is new weapon in
the me-detection laboratory, but
is is an old friend to scientists. With
1t they have found hitherto unknown
elements, have identified substances
where only very small specimens were
available and have analysed the light
Of stars, learning what the far-o1
suns are made of.
Burglar Is Trapped.
In the F. B. I. the spectograph Is
used this way:
Some time ago burglar entered
the home Of Damon Runyou, the sports
writer. at Miami Beach, by cutting out
q section Of 4 window screen. The
Florida police department sent the
F. B. I. piece Of the screen and the
penknives Of two suspects. The screen
and knives were studied in the spec
tosraph. The machine revealed that On

knives were tiny particles Of the cop
per alloy Of which the screen was
made.
A hit-run driver q short time back
killed small boy on a bicycle. Two
miles from the scene Of the crime
police captured a suspected motorist.
The first evidence established against
him was the fact that on the bumper
Of his automobile was an almost In
visible trace Of paint from the fender
Of the dead boys bicycle. This paint
was definitely identified as the same
as that Of the bicycle by specto-
graphic analysis.
Smear Of Bullet.
The smear of q bullet on the steel
wheel Of an automobile has been iden-
titled and made valuable evidence by
this device A spot Of metal alloy on
a steel hammer head, which chemist
would be powerless to analyze, was
once the undoing of criminal when
the metal had been burned in the
spectograph. .-.....-.
An arsonist once was caught when
paint on charred canvas bag was
identified as the same as paint he had
in his possession. He had filled the
bag with gasoline and painted it. It
was burned in the fire the man started,
but the material which was left was
enough to trap him.
No nationally famous crime has
been solved by the spectograph as yet,
but its operators in the laboratory
Will not b surprised TO see It achteve
this diDtinction any time now.

Of supply for high-grade iron ore, but
Germany 10 Sweden's principal Gus
toner.
The worry comes here: What will
happen in the Kiruna area in case Of
war? It will, Of course, be impossible
for Germany to obtain this ore by sea,
~ 1t must be assumed that the Brit
ish fleet would Immediately bottle up
the port Of Narvik. but that would not
prevent Sweden from sending the ore
down by train to port on the Gulf Of
Bothnia or on the Baltic. where the
British might not be in . position to
prevent its transshipment to . Ger
man port.
But undoubtedly Germany's enemies
would endeavor to stop this trafhc by
other means. One of these might be
air raids over North Sweden, with .
view to destroying the railroad. Al
ready there have been repeated rumors
Of mysterious plane flights over XII
runa. Many witnesses claim to have
heard or seen planes, which certainly
were not Swedish, flying over the re-
gion. 1t Is assumed they are Russian
planes. as Kiruna is hardly more than
200 miles from the Russian frontier,
across the narrow northern tip Of Fin
land.
Another method would be, first, to
force Norway to permit an invasion
Of Sweden from the west, and thus
taking possession Of the Kiruna mines
in the name Of Germany's enemies.
May Be on Opposite Sides.
Naturally. all these schemes and
plans to keep Germany from this vital
source of iron ore are far from re-
assuring to the Swedes and the Nor
wegians. AS they see it. they are al
most certain to be forced into the war,
or at least compelled to permit the use
Of their territory as battlefield. The
worst Of 1t is that their geographical
position may compel them to take
opposite sides.
As for Denmark, the position is OBJ
viously perilous. North Schleswig
which was taken from Germany and
restored to Denmark by the treaty of
Versailles. is on Germanys list of
"irredenta" territories. Moreover. Ger
many would like to have the rich
Danish pastures as a source of food.
Norway and Sweden have not fought
a war since the time of Napoleon the
Great. They had hoped to enjoy q
reign OF perpetual peace, but that hope
now seems to be going glimmering.

NEXT WAR FEARED
|BY-SCANDNAV|ANS
Circumstances That Let
Them Stay Neutral in
1914.18 Are Gone.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

STOCKHOLM. Aug. e-Real APP
prehension is felt throughout Scandi-
navia lest these traditionally neutral
countries be drawn into the next
European war. The circumstances
that permitted Norway, Sweden and
Denmark to stay neutral during the
19l4-1918 war no longer exist.
The writer has just completed a
tour Of these countries, during which
he has had the opportunity of talking
with people of every condition. On
all sides he has met with expressions
Of deep concern and even alarm. for
1t Is realized that not only are the
Scandinavian countries extremely vul-
nerable to attack, but their geograph-
ical position makes the problem OF
feeding their people under war con-
ditions most serious one.
Differences From 1914.
Some Of the ways in which the
situation differs from 1914 are these:
/. The last war, and many events
that have happened since. particularly
destroyed what used to be known as
neutral rights" 1t seems clear now
that there will not even be pretense
during the next war Of respecting
such rights. Countries that attempt
to remain neutral will have to be
content with whatever treatment the
belligerents choose to deal out to them.
2. 1t appears certain that England
will not. II she can help 1t, tolerate
the provisioning Of Germany through
so-called neutral states. Nor will
Germany allow neutrals to use their
flags to protect shipments OF supplies
to England. Thus, Sweden. for ex-
ample, will have to renounce trading
with Germany If she wants her trade
with overseas countries to continue.
while Germany will, in all reliability,
not hesitate to launch into thorough
submarine "frightfulness" from the
very outset of hostilities.
3. Germany, during the last war.
had the iron mines of Lorraine at her
disposal Those mines are now in
the hands of the French, who will, of
course, bend every effort to prevent
Germany from retaking them. The
best practical source of iron ore for
Germany is Sweden.
This last point is the most i'm
portant of all. as Scandinavia views it.
For that reason, have just visited the
immense Swedish iron mining area,
at Kiruna, more than 100 miles above
the Arctic Circle.
Mines Work Night and Day.
1t is scene of almost unbelievable
activity. The mines are working night
and day, with the most up-to-date
machinery and the most efficient
methods. The ore lies up in the
mountains and comes down to the
railroad by gravity. Almost every hour
train is loaded and dispatched to
Narvik, the Norwegian seaport only
three hours away, where sometimes as
many as q dozen ships are loaded in
q day.
Now 10 per cent of the output Of the
Kiruna mines goes to Germany. Not
only is Kiruna Germany's chief source

u. s. WOULD SIGN
CREWS FOR YEAR
Merchant Marine Expected
to Inaugurate Efficiency
System Soon.

Oy V1ALAnVl % NE
The way has been paved for build
ing up permanent crews for merchant
ships flying the American flag. while
preserving the contractual relations
between the master and crew as con-
tanned in the shipping articles, it was
learned yesterday.
1t is expected that the proposed new
system will be put in effect in a month
or two. after the accounting systems
are arranged 50 the shift can be made
with the least complications.
It Is the plan now, it was said, at
least for Maritime Commission-oper-
ated vessels and privately operated
subsidized lines, to ship crews for a
period of one year under the shipping
articles, but with clause inserted
that a seaman may be dismissed, for
cause, by giving him "a hours notice
prior to the time his vessel enters its
home port on return voyage.
Hearings Provided.
The rights of the seamen are to be
protected, 1t was indicated, SO that a
master may not dismiss man with
out just cause. Constant watch
will be kept on the masters reports
OF diSmissalS, and man, feeling he
has been unjustly dismissed, may get
a hearing at which the reasons for it
will be presented. If it is found. for
example. that seaman was i'll, he
could not be discharged if he did not
perform his work properly.
The plan to organize permanent
crews was instigated by the Maritime
Commission several months ago, the
purpose being to keep the best men
at work on ships with which they
were familiar and offer them bonuses
for long service.
Proposed Plan Hailed.
Maritime officials said the new plan
Is the only way an efficient merchant
marine can be built up. as ships have
peculiarities and men who have been
with them for long time know them
better and can operate them Efficient
~. whereas If new crew comes
aboard each voyage, losses appear be-
fore they learn the troubles.
While the plan will be put into eff
feet on aforementioned and sub
eidized ships. it is believed that lines
operated privately will be quick to
follow the governmental plan.
