Housing Committee Elects New Chairman

The Citizens Volunteer Committee
on housing met last Sunday and elect
ed c. w. Washington, Chairman; Viii
liam Smith, Vice-C Chairman. Business
was confined to matters incidental to
working program. Mr.. Washington
states that no date has been set for the
next meeting, the matter being left to
the executive board, which meets Fri
day evening.
Attorney R. Augustine Skinner has
been closely following the eviction pro-
ceedings with view to lending such
assistance as may be necessary to dis
tressed clients, should any of our
group through any inadvertence be in
cluded among those against whom ac-
tion has been taken.
The chairman is formulating a plan
of action to take care of any emergen-
cies that might arise.
Help from another source came to
the families who were faced with evic-
ton. The Minneapolis relief board
made a survey, to find how many fam
lilies would be affected, and just what
action might be suggested. 1t was
found that sixty-eight families were
threatened with eviction and recon-
mended that they be permitted to re-
main long enough to find suitable
housing.
An unusual situation has arisen in
that the persons living in the area pay
no rent, the state refusing to act as
landlord over the condemned area. Ne
gro citizens are to be complimented for
their attitude in not trying to take an
unfair advantage. AS many as are
able to find places to move are doing
SO promptly.

CARDENAS ATTACKS
DOLLAR DIPLOMACY

Mexico City, Sept, (CNA)-In a
ringing speech opening the Internation-
al Peace Conference, Lazaro Cardenas,
Mexico's progressive President, sharp
~ assailed the practice of imperiafist
governments of exerting economic and
military pressure on smaller nations to
protect privilege concessions in favor
OF foreign investors and to threaten the
tree existenct of whole people.
Without referring to them directly.
he scored American Oil interests and
big landowners in Mexico who are
exerting pressure on the United States
government to intervene in Mexican af-
fairs to balk the plans of the Mexican
people to reclaim natural resources in
order to raise the living standards of
Mexlco's masses, impoverished by
foreign exploitation.
Imperialism, had twisted the admit
ted rights of the people SO that strong
nations pass from diplomatic war to
an economic war and then to a war of
aggression against smaller nations, he
said.
Cardenas attacked the concentration
of enormous fortunes in a few hands.
monopolies, and private ownership of
the instruments of production.
He told the conference that he was
IN favor of "proletarian action against
war" and condemned the 'inhuman
bombings of open cities" by the fascist
invaders of Ethiopia, Spain and China.

F.D.R HITS MOVE TO
DISFRANCHISE
RELIEF CLIENTS

Hyde Park, N. Y, Sept, (CNA)--
President Roosevelt this week vigor-
ously demanded the right of the per-
son on relief to vote.
He referred scathing1y in a press
conference to the movement initiated
by group of rich women to deny suf-
terage to the millions of Negro and
white persons on relief. He observed.
perhaps the next step would be for a
similar group to urge the ballot be re-
served solely for those with college
degrees.
The Presidents defense of the right
OF relief client to vote came during
the course of a discussion on the poll
tax.
Historically, he said the poll tax
seemed remnant of the days when
ownership of property was necessary
before an individual could participate
IN an election. Mr. Roosevelt added
that most states were getting away
from the idea but specifically cited
Virginia as an example of one that had

Mess Line

Liberia, like America, has an un-
usual story in connection with the early
efforts to colonize the country, and
probably owes its existence to a wo-
man who smoked a pipe.
After considerable wandering and re-
buff up and down the African coast,
the original colonists finally contracted
with four African Chiefs, known as
Peter, George, Yoda, and long Peter
They sold the colonists a strip of land
l30 miles long and 40 miles wide, for
six muskets, one small barrel of pow-
der, six iron bars, ten iron pots, one
barrel of beads, two casks of tobacco
twelve knives, twelve forks, twelve
spoons, one small barrel of nails. one
box of smoking pipes, three looking
glasses, four umbrellas, three walking
sticks, one box of soap, one barrel of
rum, four hats, three pairs of shoes,
SIX pieces of blue baft, and three
pieces of white calico. The colonists
also bound themselves to pay when
they could, smaller amount of similar
articles, debt which was never paid.
The chiefs apparently didn't under
stand transactions for land, and fail
ing to collect on the old debt, finally
became definitely hostile. There was
considerable skirmishing with the war
riors, which eventually developed into
a real attack, in which the existence
OF the settlement was threatened
The warriors, November the I1th,
1922, attacked in force and drove the
settlers back toward stockade which
they had erected. Many fled to the
bush, and the victory would have been
complete for the natives had they not
stopped to plunder the deserted huts.
Massed for plunder, it was claimed
they were grouped so thickly that
child could have walked on their heads,
when Mary Newport, lady who liked
her pipe and was smoking at the time,
walked to one of five cannons con-
stituting the forts artillery, which had
been deserted. She touched it off with
the fire, and it discharged point blank
into the group.
Those who were running away, saw
the havoc her shot had created, and
rushed back to fire the other four guns.
The victory was complete, for the
natives were routed.
To this day Liberia celebrates New
port day, in honor of the woman who
seasoned her tobacco with patriotism,
and knew just when and where to get
rid of both.

Iowa Club Battles
Dictatorship

| What began as an ordinary harmon
ious meeting of the Minnesota Iowa
Club, became storm center before
the evening was over, at the Club
headquarters, 38th and Fourth avenue
south, Wednesday, Sept. IA. The Min
nesota-1owa Club, consisting of five
hundred members, and probably the
largest and strongest organization of
its kind ever seen in the twin cities,
and generally regarded as a lever that
may turn many wheels throughout
the middle west, met and kept on
| meeting until the wee hours.
The first monkey wrench to be
thrown in the wheels of the little en-
pire came from parties wholly un-
| conscious of the effect suggestion,
that business like working of the or
ganization might have Tired of the
! apparent dictatorship on the part of
j what is known as the big three, mo-
ton was made for the establishment
OF house committee.
An uproar was precipitated, which
resulted in the president of the organ
ization leaving the chair to take the
floor to fight any such suggestion,
throwing away Roberts rules of order,
seizing the gavel after he had spoken
his piece, threatening to resign, and
finally calling for an immediate execu-
tive meeting, presumably to find ways
and means of combating such
audacity. The vice-president of the or
ganization had the temerity to second
the motion that house committee be
formed, and another motion followed
on the heels of his action, that his
resignation be Immediately requested. |
Attempting to stave off disaster of |
sorts, to soothe the feeling of the Of
Tended ones, to prevent the hasty resig-
nation of the President, to cool a
seething volcano, the motion was with
drawn When the regular meeting was
adjourned, the executive committee
imediately went into session, whi'e the
lesser satellites anxiously awaited the i
results. !
Through closed doors came the. sub
dued roar, as mighty waters heard
afar. Shortly after the committee came
filing out, not with any regularity, but
much as men leave hot seat. Just as
long as they could stand it they stayed |
When they could stand it no longer |
they left
One of the earlier absentees COM
mented that he couldn't take it. One
lady said that executive meeting was a |
"whang' whatever that is. A St.
Paul member was heard to say that he
contemplated resignation, as the pref
sident was Dictator
Some talk Immediately followed of I
organizing separate branch in St.
Paul Whether such action is actually
contemplated remains to be seen after
the interested ones have given the mat
ter due consideration.
Meanwhile the docile ones are busy
urging the recalcitrants into line be-
fore the next meeting. Appar> ntly
such things as house committees and
business safety valves will be spoken of
in whispers in the future.
