By CLISTER L. JOHNSON, Supreme Lecturer

I'm everyone has noticed that we have been
staging Afro Festivals in various sections of the
since the sitting of the last Grand Lodge. And possibly
you have been wondering why much attention has
been given them. propose to give little light these
Festivals. a.
We have found that the more lodges that are
brought together in meeting, the more animated is
the spirit Following such meetings the writing of
bers is than doubled for period three or four
months. Since every lodge should have two official
visits year thought wise bring several lodges
together in each section of the state in Festival to
official visit for each lodge And let each
lodge pay the usual visiting fee the expense of
the elaborate program This we have done and the re-
suit has been astounding.
To date have staged Festivals in Northeast and
South Miss, and the MidDelta We take this method of
thanking the various lodges that have cooperated with
For sole desire is to make this bigger and bet
ter organization to serve the people.

PRESIDENT SEES
BULLITT, HOPKINS

WARM SPRINGS. Ca, Dec. 8.
(UP)-President Roosevelt, after
a day of informal discussions on
domestic and international prob
lens, last night began drafting
an address he will deliver at the
University of North Carolina next
Monday.
The chief executive will stop
for an hour in Chapel Hill, site
of the university. He will speak
at 4:30 p. m. before the Carolina
Political union, student organl-
cation. The speech will be broad
cast nationally and is expected to
be of a major significance.
White House attaches would
not hint at the subject of the
presidents address, but observers
believed he again might lash re-
ligious intolerance of totalitarian
states. He had explored that sub
ject thoroughly during his stay
at Warm Springs with Hugh r.
Wilson, U. S. ambassador to Ger
manly, anu w iIildin HhlIpoJ " ~
envoy to Italy.
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday re-
viewed Georgia problems with
three of that states Democratic
leaders-Gov. f. d. Rivers, U. S.
District Attorney Lawrence Camp,
unsuccessful New Deal candidate
against Senator Walter F. George,
and James ellis, state Democrat
ic chairman. 8. -: % .
The president, later at a press
conference attended by Rivers,
believed Georgia soon would hur-
die legal obstacles preventing the
state from bearing its, share of
costs of public works. Mr.. Roose-
Welt recently had served notice
! Georgia would not get any more
federal funds for public works
until the state agreed to such CO.
/ operation. '...

administrator, and Frank Walker,

Australia Bids
For Diplomats

SYDNEY, N. S. w., Dec. g.
Establishment of AN Aus
tralian diplomatic service, with
members attached to the British
Legations in important capitals, is
urged by Percy Spencer, Indepen-
dent member Of the Australia
house Of representatives for a
Sydney constituency.
The reports Of such representa-
tives, Spencer said, would provide
the government with adequate and
independent knowledge of Euro
pean minority problems, or any
other problems which might
threaten to involve Australia in
war.
"Australia would then have a
foreign policy Of it's own, in the
sense of having definite views as
to how world problems affecting
Australia should be met" he add
ed.
e 1T is idle to wait until an
emergency arises. There are prob
lens in Europe at present which
may require the surgeons knife to
save Europe, and our government
should have definite diea as to
the best methods of solving them"
The Australian point of view
thus formed, Spencer said, could
be urged directly on Britain. Aus
tralia would thus play a proper
part in forming a common empire
policy.
"Obviously every part of the
empire cannot have separate
and possibly divergent foreign
policy. There should be common
policy which reflects the views Of
