Britain Must
Fight Own War
Islanders Say
Harlem West Indians Not In Favor
of War

New York, Oct.-(CNA)-West
Indian leaders in Harlem this week
roundly denounced as hypocritical
British Prime Minister Chamber
lain's claim that Britain and
France were embarked upon a war
to destroy Hitlerism" and to ode
fend democracy" They character
lied the European war as an i'm
perialist struggle between two
camps of imperialist oppressors
and stressed the necessity of the
United States keeping out of the
conflict.
Britain doesn't believe it's own
talk about 'self-determination' and
freedom for smaller nations, and
certainly the colonial people DON'T"
declared DR.. Arnold Donawa, wide
ly known for his work with the
Loyalist forces in Spain.
Attorney G. Gilbert, a member
of the Board of Directors of the
National Lawyers Guild and presi-
dent of the Harlem Lawyers Guild,
also thought Russia's moves were
Gin the interest of the underdog."
"The West Indies" he said, Should
make it known to Chamberlain
that if he expects aid from them,
he must first give them genuine
democracy and the right to govern
themselves"
DR.. Forbes, a prominent Harlem
physician who left his home in
Jamaica, B. W. l., because the
West Indian people are dissatisfied
with and tired of British hypocrisy
and domination" he declared.
Cyril Phillips, civic leader and
lecturer, praised the action of the
Indian Congress in forthwith rails
ing the question of the right of
differentiation and said that
the people of the West Indies
should make similar demands.
During the last imperialist
war;" Phillips pointed out, "West
Indian Negroes were recruited on
the pretext that they were going to
fight for democracy. But when
they get to the war they were
thrown into the ranks of scaven-
gers. Upon their return they were
followed by contingents of British
troops for the purpose of putting
down the instructions whic h
Britain feared would result after
the democracy fraud that had
been pulled on them"

MINORITY ISSUE CALLED
CHALLENGE

BOSTON-(CNA) - The living
standards of 100000 Negroes in
the United States will have to be
raised or they might become a per-
manent relief problem, President
Arthur Howe of Hampton (Va.)
Institute, warned the nation this
week.
The problem is one of economics
as well as a test of how "our
American democracy will handle
it's largest racial minority" Howe
told group of white business and
professional men at the Union
Club.
Although Negroes compose only
10 per cent of the population, he
said, they number 20 per cent of
our relief rolls.

NicOlIet Hotel
Loses Suit to
Martin Brown
COSTS HOTEL $500 TO REFUSE
MAN GLASS OF BEER

A loss of approximately $500
was handed the Nicollet Hotel this
week when Judge Paul W. Guilford
ruled that the establishment was
guilty Of violating the state law by
refusing to serve Martin Brown,
business man in Minneapolis, at its
bar on April 29.
Mr.. Brown was refused service
while at an annual sales meeting
of the Standard Oil Dealers Asso-
citation of which he is a member.
The hotel alleged that it does not
discriminate against Negroes and
that it had instructed all of its en-
ployees not to discriminate.
Miss L. o. Smith, one of the at
torneys for Mr.. Brown, halted this
argument, however, by pointing out
that even though the hotel may
have instructed its employees not
to discriminate it was still re-
sponsible under the law if they re-
fused service.
Persons in legal circles expressed
commentator for this move on the
part of Miss Smith and pointed out
that had the hotels argument gone
unchallenged it would have set a
dangerous precedent. This prece-
dent, attorneys pointed out, would
have enabled hotels and other pub
lie places to have policies of dis
elimination but evade prosecution
by claiming that they issued in
structions against discrimination.
The court ordered payment of
$500 to Mr.. Brown plus costs.
These costs plus expenses incurred
in defending their employees act
of discrimination are expected to
run well over $500 for the hotel.
Although the action was won,
CONSERVATION was expressed
against Judge Guilford by some
persons who learned of an express
sion he made in connection with the
case.
This expression was: Whether
the exercise of its police power or
by virtue of any power given by
the state or federal constitution the
state has the right to compel res
taurants, saloons, and other private
lines of business to make no dis
elimination or selection of Gus
toners because of race or color is
another question which has not
been argued, and about which con-
siderable might be said"
The contention of these persons
was that this expression was en-
tirely unnecessary and not in keep
ing with the spirit of the U. S.
Constitution.
Another part of the decision
which drew fire was an expression
on the part of the Judge that:
There were probably other bars
at the same time in the city where
the plaintiff might have been
served" Some who read this pas
sage of the judges verdict saw it
as almost offering a justification
of segregation"
A further statement on the part
of the judge was: "The weight of
evidence supports the claim of the
plaintiff that he was refused serv-
ice because of the fact that he was
a colored person; also that it is the
general policy of the defendant to
make no discrimination in serving
patrons"
Miss Smith was associated in the
case with R. A. Skinner, Mill City
lawyer.
