New York, Sept, (CNA)-The word

Powell, Yankee reserve outfielder, who

his winter employment as a cop who

OH his way out. No more perpiexing
problem than the disposal of Powell
has faced the Yankee management.
PowelPs contract represents tidy
sum of money. For that reason, it
must be sold to the highest bidder.
But Powells acts, as we'll as his ac-
ton on the field which have resulted
in many brawls, make him persona non

Harlem is up in arms against Pow
ell and Joe Mccarthy has not dared
use him in local game since his anti
Negro remark. Philadelphia, Wash

are all out because of their large Ne
gro populations,
Detroit would hardly care for him

MISSIONARY GIVES INTER
ESTING LECTURE ON
LIBERIA

Miss Francis Jolley, Episcopal Mis-.
sionary, gave an interesting lecture or
life in Liberia, at St. Thomas Parish
Wednesday evening, in one of the
clearest lectures ever heard in the twin
cities regarding Africa generally.
According to Miss Jolley, Liberia Of
! fers startling contrast between the
civilized and uncivilized Negro.
Monrovia, mostly populated by sons
of freedmen who migrated there short
lily after the civil war, has carried on,
and maintained high standard civili-
cation until it compares favorably with
the average American city of similar
size.
The only handicap to Liberia, seems
to be woeful lack of money. Almost
the sole source of income is from rub
Der companies who have tapped her
splendid resources.
Liberia proper is almost witho1t
roads, country about the size of the
state of Ohio, one must walk across it.
1t takes about three weeks to make
the trip.
Infant mortality in the bush, term
applied to rural districts, is extremely
high, due to lack of knowledge among
the natives of proper treatment of in
fant diseases.
There is very little crime, and rare
ly is there violence despite the fact that
there are two very distinct religious
groups.
Mohammedans represent the large
group of native Africans, the American
Negroes are practically all Christian.
The present President Barkley has
the reputation of being honest and con-
scientious, interested in the welfare of
his country. Incidentally, netwith-
standing all the hue and cry about Fin
land paying her war debt Liberia was
the first of the only two nations to pay
her obligation, and once in later stress
she was refused a necessary loan.

UNITY SOUGHT IN FIGHT
ON RACE BIAS

New York, Sept, (CNA)-Represen
tatives of forty-five national organiza
tions explored this week in the Hote
Commodore the possibility of ma
tional council that might serve to uni
fly and coordinate the work of the vari
Gus organizations engaged in combat
ting race hatred and prejudice and
fostering better racial understanding
in this country.
Among the leading organization
represented were the American Soci.
ETY. for Race Tolerance, Non-Sectariar
Anti-Nazi League, National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Colored
People, National Conference of Jews
and Christians, Young Women's Chris
tian Association, Free Sons of Israel
National Council of Jewish Women

American Youth Congress, Women
international League for Peace and
Freedom, and others.
The conference elected Nathan L.
Rock, representative of the Ameri-
can Society for Race Tolerance, as
chairman of the meeting.
The conference resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee to look fur
ther into the possibilities of such a
national council and present plan OF
organization at the next conference on
Sept. 9TH.
Charles Broudarge, a representative
of the World Congress Against Ra-
cism, visiting here from Paris, France.
was the guest speaker of the meeting
and delivered report of the activities
and program of his organization The
delegates were profoundly moved by
the impassioned plea of Broudarge for
the collaboration of American organj
cations and the need of National
Council to serve as coordinating
agency.
Broudarge also informed the con-
ference of the decision of the World
Congress at its last convention in Par
is to hold the next World Congress at
the World Fair in New York during
1889. He expressed the hope that the
American organizations would give
their utmost support to make the
Congress the most outstanding in its
history.

Euitor note. has column will h,
conducted by Eugene Morse. Execu
tive Secretary of the Friends of tn,
Abraham Lincoln Brigade, a vetera,
who served one year fighting for tn,
Loyalists in Spain.
Very little has been written in on,
press about the four thousand Amer.
can volunteers who went to Spain r.
help the Spanish people defeat Hitler
and Mussolini. Their heroic actions
and deeds in the struggle for progress
and freedom await the recognition that
only a country free from all oppres-
sion will bring,
Oppression and discrimination Is
nothing to the Negro people and when
the struggle in Spain arose, many Ne
groes answered the call of a people
whose national independence was
threatened by Fascism. They went to
Spain because they understood that
same forces which oppress their peo-
pie here were attacking there and that
victory in Spain for Fascism would
hurt all mankind, and in the United
States would make even worse the lot
of the Negro people, who at all times
are the first to feel the heavy hand of
oppression. The bitterest enemies of
progress, the Ku Klux Klan, the Sill
yer Shirts, the Black Legion, all work
for the victory of Fascism in Spain, so
that they may get help from Hitler
and Mussolini to further their own
aims here. A defeat for Fascism in
Spain means real blow against these
reactionary organizations and the la
Dor and racial theories they spread.
The Negro people. can we'll be proud
Of the role their sons and daughters
are playing in this historical struggle.
Just as Joe Lewis, Jessie Owens, and
hundreds of other Negro leaders have
proven to what heights the represen-
tatives OF their race can rise, SO also
did the battle feds of Spain prove an
other testing ground
The name of Oliver Laws will ever
be revered by the men he fought with
and by all progressive persons. Start
ing in the ranks, this valiant Negro
boy SO endeared himself to the men,
Ders of our battalion by his heroism,
ability and calmness under fire, that he !
rose to become military commander of
the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, which
ne led through many successful bat
les. 1t was during an advance on the |
Fascists in July, 1887, at Brunette, that
ne was killed at the head of his bat
TALON. However, so we'll had he plan
led the advance that his battalion con-
inued forward and took two cities |
Turing this attack. His loss was deep
y felt by all members of the battalion
md all who knew him at home. He,
ruly was carrying on the noble ira
litions of the Negroes, so we'll person
fled by the memory of Thadeus Stew
ms and Frederick Douglas. The great
st monument we who appreciate the
acrifice he made can build is to car
y forward the work which he believed
n and died for. That is, carry high
he banner of progress on every front.
