created by the ~>wer-r1ent this week
pursuant to Italy's new Nazi-like racial
policy.
Last week an Italian racial credo

auspices, was published and on Satur-
day it was revealed that Pope Plus in

Ethiopia occupied by the Fascists.
The racial redo assumed an even
more official character when headquar-
ters of the Fascist party sent copies oi
the doctrine to all provincial secre-
taries, calling their attention to it. The
communication contained no recon-
mendations, but it was apparent that
Achille Starace, secretary of the Fas-
cist party, expected officials to follow
its inferences-"that Jews are not pure
Italians"

ROACH PRAISED AS HERO
AT FUNERAL

Provincetown, Mass, July, (CNA)-
Robert Minor. American leader, paid
tribute to the late Douglas Roach, Ne
gro American anti-fascist volunteer in
Spain. as model for all American de-
tenders of democracy to follow.
Roach died in New York last week,
and Minors speech was made during
the funeral services when the body was
brought here for interment following
funeral service in Harlem, New
York.
1--WE are saving our last farewell to
hero" said Minor.
Douglas Roach was born here in
Provincetown, son of whaling man,
and here he lived and did his work. He
was a good workman, proud of the
products of his skill He was honest
and friend of honest men. He lived
among those men who have no means
of living except by the wages of their
labor, and all his life he was loyal to
them. He became trade union or
ganizer on the Boston waterfront, and
there he showed himself to be leader
of men.
~..ri~o Rorch was born of a race
that has labored harder and suffered
more than any other, to clear the for
ests and build the civilization of Amer
lea. Three centuries his people lived in
slavery, and when Lincoln. the great
emancipation. broke the chains from
their hands, the age-old prejudice and
the greed that exploits the man oi
color two times over did not vanish.
douglas Roach thought of these
things and understood them, ane
among the firmest rocks in the founda'
ton of his character was his determine
ton never to rest while the hideou:
wrongs of race inequality continue tc
torture the world.
cit is Therefore true to say tina
Douglas Roach was the kind of Amer
ican that we should all osoire to b'
true to the best ideals that lie at tn,
roots of the country we love-"
Minor stressed the role PLAYED b!
the Negro in the American Revolution
of l776 and continued:
Douglass Roach also was al
American soldier and volunteer. An,
also he has fallen on the field of bat
tie for the ideals of the freedom am
democracy. He saw what is now ris
ing in the world to challenge every
thing that our country stands for an,
he was firmly convinced that if tn
challenge is not met in the spirit o
Washington and Jefferson and Lincolr
yts, in the spirit of Crispus AttucLs

Henderson Reddick, Pastor
(By L. c. Copes)

Rev. Reddick spoke from the 18th
Chapter of John by way of the l4th
verse: "Ye are my friends, ye do
whatsoever command" using as a
subject, Friends of Jesus" Through
out the discourse was stressed the me-
cessity of our getting on the right
road in order that we might find the
friendly highway and follow in the
foot steps of our Lord and Saviour.
1t stands to reason that only through
our being intimate with the customs OF
Jesus are we going to be considered
his friends. Rev. Reddick asks that
we all get friendly with Jesus by a
readjustment of our spiritual needs
by putting them first.
In the afternoon the Choir under
the direction of Governor Cook ant
with the kind assistance of Rev. AS
traholz's Choir brought forth a splen
did program which included shor
talks by the Reverends Astraholz
Thomas, and Reddick.

The emblem is in the form of q blue
flag.
Designing and trade-marking the
emblem and work on the legal study
have gone hand in hand with the con-
Sultations Gov. La Toilette has had
with members of his party in Wiscon-
sin and his mid-western allies.
His associates said he has made
strong contacts with influential groups
in the pivotal States, but they are
secretive about the personalities in
volved.
One of the Governors secretaries
explained the purpose of starting the
movement in small groups, meeting
privately with no apparent integrated
purpose. was to lay thorough ground
work
They feared that organization of the
party might be hampered if such
groups as farm and labor units and
existing third parties were asked to
declare their allegiance to the Progress
sive party before the national party
| plan was announced
The Governors Office reported to-
day it had received numerous tele-
| grams from individuals in many States
supporting the new party. but that no
persons whose names are in the news
were involved.
The National Progressive Party Of
America, dedicated to those ideals,
was offered to the Nation last night
by Philip F. La Toilette, Governor
of Wisconsin. who widened a breach
with. President Roosevelt, junked polit-
ical theories OF other parties and set
new course in this direction:
Definitely and irrevocably We are
in the lists to stay until the American
people recapture their heritage"
This heritage he defined as the
right Of every American Ito earn his
living by the sweat of his brow" Sc
curity founded on definite, decent
annual income for all" and freedom
OF conscience and control.
To attain these ends, Gov. La Fol-
lette declared for public, and not
private, control and ownership of
money and credit, without qualifica-
ton or reservation; a stanch de-
fense of the basic concepts OF Amer
ican government and, in particular,
that grants of power should always
be safeguarded against abuse"
Flatly the Governor opposed every
form of coddling, or spoon feeding the
American people," declaring that
whatever it may cost-so help us
God-we shall use the power of these
United States to restore to every
American the opportunity to help him.
SELF" After that. said Gov La Fol-
lette, che can sink or swim"
Thus was born the second political
party to be conceived and nurtured in
Wisconsin. In 1854 the Republican
party came into being at Ripon, Wis
At that time the Democratic and
Wing parties were dominant. Last
night Gov. La Toilette rejected not
only the leadership Of present-day
Republicans and Democrats, but char
acterized as useless for the recovery
of the Nation any form of capitalism,
Socialism, Fascism or Communism.

ARMY ASKS FUND
FOR BIG AIR BASES
$120,000 900 of Spending
Sum May Be Set Aside
for Defense Program.
BY the Associated Press.


Congressional leaders disclosed to-
day the War Department wants to use
part Of President Roosevelt's pump
printing" fund to construct giant Army
air bases for Alaska and American
coasts.
Chairman May Of the House Mill
tary Committee said he would ask
the House Appropriations COMMITTEES
tomorrow to set aside $l20, ,000, 900 for
this purpose and for improvement OF
existing air bases and Army posts.
Representative Woodrum, Democrat
OF Virginia, an influential member OF
the Appropriations Committee, said
the "pump-priming" bill probably
would be worded to permit use of the
funds for the aviation program.
Mr.. May said one base would be
located in Alaska. probably close to
Fairbanks. Army officials have rec
commended that it be equipped to ac-
commodate between 500 and 1000
planes.
Earlier this week the Navy Depart
ment asked Congress for more than
$5,000,000 to establish a naval air base
on Kodiak Island, in Alaska Bay.
A 1885 act also authorizes bases IN
the Atlantic Northeast, the Atlantic
Southeast and Caribbean areas for the
defense Of the Panama Canal, the
Southeastern States proper, the Rocky
Mountain area and the Pacific North
west. Work on the latter base, near
Tacoma, Wash, already has been
started.
Mr.. May said the War Department
had assured him that if the funds
were made available work could be
started on the entire program within
80 days.
The billion-dollar Navy expansion
bill meanwhile encountered threats OF
Senate filibuster, and administration
leaders applied additional pressure to
bring 1t to vote.
Democratic Leader Barkley ordered
Saturday session, and said also he
might insist on a meeting this eve
ming.
Senator Holt, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia, an opponent of the measure,
predicted that a filibuster might de-
velop if night sessions were called.

will create increasing demand for
what the Nation produces, Gov. La
Toilette said. adding that capitalism
did the job well in frontier days.
I'VE have not yet provided the
machinery to do 1t for the new from
tier" he continued. In this sense
old-fashioned capitalism is gone for
ever. The old-fashioned
capitalist fails to see that the world
in which we live has changed"
For two hours last night he outlined
to 5000 in the University Of Wiscon-
sin Stock Pavilion and an overflow
crowd Of 1000 outside who listened
by loudspeaker.
A. A. Berle, Assistant Secretary Of
State and representative of Mayor La
Guardia Of New York, WAS the only
national parsonage who appeared, but
the Governors brother, United States
Senator Robert M. La Toilette, jr.,
sent a message Of support from WASH
ington.
Gov. La Toilette. declaring Ameri-
can freedom is rooted in American
abundance, warned his audience "the
rise of dictators, the destruction of
democracy and the spectre Of another
world war have one underlying cause:
The failure to produce enough real
wealth to support secure and high
standard Of living"
He warned the Nation faces day
of reckoning.
1t may not come this year or the
next, he said, but the cold, inescapa-
BILE truth stands before us. The
American standard of living today is
supported by an enormous mass Of
outworn public and private debt"
Old-fashioned capitalism, Socialism,
Communism or Fascism do not offer
q way out, he said.
Socialism, the Governor asserted, is
not one OF the available crossroads,
because it is based on a theory that
does not flt America-"the philosophy
that proposes to regard work and
achievement on the same basis regard
less of individual contribution
Nor does either Fascism or Com
munism offer a way out. Both are
founded on the ancient prin-
ciple that chosen few whether from
the top or bottom of the economic
LADDER shall make the decisions and
rule by force"
Breaking finally with the national
administration which he criticized in
a series of radio addresses last week,
Gov. La Toilette praised the brilliant
leadership" OF President Roosevelt, but
said party dissension had hamstrung
the administrations efforts toward re-
habilitation, and that leadership, no
matter how great, cannot mix politi-
cal oil and water"
The Democrats and Republicans
have been "fumbling the ball" for
years, the Governor declared, because
the parties are founded on political
lines marked out in 1880, with nothing
to do with 1898.
The new trend of Government, he
said, must be one of expanding pro-
duction. Two potential fields he
listed as modernizing Of the railroads
and a long overdue task" Of i'm
proving housing conditions.
Just these two alone" he said,
would put billions Of idle capital to
work and create millions of new
wealth-creating jobs. They alone
would end unemployment in America
for years"
