"the Government" in this country. CThis means
the fear of mobs of greedy and illinformed people
led by demagogues, and is well illustrated by the
progress which such a wild notion as the $50
every Thursday" scheme was made in California;
These fears grow and decline according to
political developments here or abroad, and Of
late have tended to slow business little. They
give rise to cautious buying and hesitation in
raising new capital Previously, however, have
given reasons for believing that ignorance and
greed win not win in America, and the evidence
still favors peace in Europe.

Japanese Professor
At Atlanta University

ATLANTA, Ga-Before a large
audience in Sisters Chapel yester-
day, DR.. Kiichi Miyako, professor
of botany at Tokyo University in
Tokyo, Japan, deplored the fact
that the American people have
been misinformed about the true
state of affairs in the Far East,
and urged his listeners to judge
the situation by the facts he gave
and not by the stories read in
the newspapers. "The causes of
any war are complicated" the dis
tlnguished educator said, "but in
this case the present war between
the two nations was provoked by
China and not by Japan, as is
the common belief"
The Japanese educator was in
troduced to the audience by DR..
w. E. B. Dubois, whose guest he
is at Atlanta University this week.
President Rufus E. Clement of At
lanta University presided at the
convocation, and Acting President
Charles d. Hobert of Morehouse

Prize-Winning
Book Published

NEW YORK CITY, March "a
A 20 year old Negro WPA writer
who only a few years ago had
difficulty borrowing books to read
because colored persons are not
welcomed at public Libraries in
Southern cities, today saw a book
of his own issued by a leading
publishing company and put on
sale throughout the country.
The author is Richard Wright,
and the book, a collection of four
stories of Negro life, is entitled
Uncle Toms Children" It was
accepted for publication after it
had won first prize of $500 in a
contest conducted by a national
magazine for employees of the
Federal Writers Project.
The four stories that make up
the book are written in a forceful,
staccato style that gives them
great emotional power. Each bears
unmistakable evidence of clear
eyed understanding of the inescap-
able drama of the Negroes lot in
present day American life.
The publishers, in announcing
their acceptance of the book, hailed
Wright as new author whose
graphic prose is as lean and strong
as John Steinbeck's, and who gives
definite proof that the Administra-
TONS substitution of writers has
been successful"

Old Man Winter was taking his

A delegate of prominent citi-
zens presented themselves to the
Chief of Police to protest the
death of a young Negro, whom it
is alleged came to his death by the
terrible brutal practices of certain
"Tusk Hog" policemen. The COM
mittee was met with due consider
ton and was promised a complete
investigation which was to be held
Thursday morning. 1t is hoped
that this investigation will put an
end to such brutality that has been
practiced by certain members of
the police force. If this does not
stop it, the citizens should force
the issue until it is absolutely
wiped out. This practice is all UNI
called for and taxpayers and voters
do not have to tolerate IL.

Why not a permanent La Fol-
lette Committee
The President, in his press con-
ference on Tuesday, put forward
an excellent suggestion. The anti
lynching bill has been lynched by
Southern reactionaries. But Mr..
Roosevelt does not think the mat
ter should be allowed to rest.
He proposed that Congress
either authorize the Attorney Gen.
eral to investigate whenever and
wherever mob violence occurs or
that standing Congressional
committee-a sort of permanent
"LaFollette committee estab-
lished to investigate and report on
all violations of civil rights.
We prefer the latter alternative.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked whether
a committee of this kind could be
used to probe the killing of eleven
Little Steel strike demonstrators
by police last Memorial Day in
Chicago. His reply was that it
could.
A permanent civil rights COM
mittee could look into violations
of fundamental liberties in the
North as well as the South. Fol-
if the South has its lynchings
the North often has mob violence
or lawlessness on the part of law
enforcement officers.
Won't some liberal Congressman
introduce a resolution embodying
the idea?
