BRITON'S SENSES"

Editor: The Japanese have an
nounced that they intend to bring
the British "to their senses" on
the question of foreign concessions
in China. This policy has precipi-
tated dramatic moves in the Far
East.
We think it only fair that the
Japanese "clear up" the Chinese
question in their own interests if
they have a mind to do so. 1t
seems more fair, even by western
standards of morality, for the
Japanese to control Asia than for
the white man to travel around the
world and make the yellow races
pay tribute to him as he has done
the brown people of India and the
black people of Africa. Frankly,
our sympathy is with Japan, for
we resent the white mans policy
Of putting the economic yoke on all

Poetic Thoughts
-Ru MORRIS CHRIS Sr.
Travelling Alone

Some people like independence much
They hesitate to have any touch
Their personal liberty which they value high,
Rather travel alone, be hermit when they die.
You can live in this world just so long,
By yourself but your heart is without song,
For loneliness comes without any notice,
Which is to all not any novice.
It's what you put into life that you receive
For cannot take all and still believe
That happiness is for u.s. happiness is realized
When we forget self, then we're penalized
Travelling alone is long, weary road
No one to comfort Tighten your load
To share your problems and help you through,
When travelling alone you always have different view
Marriage instituted by the Infinite Ones foresight
That His children needed companionship to live right
So He planned it best to travel double,
To keep every one happy and out of trouble.
Yes-we travel alone away from the world
By keeping fundamentals then we won't be hurled
In the fotsam and jetsam of ife's stormy sea,
That makes mockery of true liberty.

non-white peoples, as he has done
our own people-even those who
are citizens of the United States.
We think it would be a good
thing for the prestige of the sub
jugated races if the japanese can
win their point. For the past 500
years, as history shows, the white
man has collected tribute from the
weaker peoples and built up what
he pleases to call Civilization"
but that civilization, while it toll
crates the presence of non-white
groups within its borders, does not
give to them the so-called Demo
cratic justice" that we hear so
much about these days in discus
sing theories of government.
While we are loyal to our own
country, we would give to the peo-
pie of the Far East the same privi-
lege we enjoy in maintaining the
Monroe Doctrine. Let the people
of Asia have Asia, and let the for
eign concessions in China be
abolished. There is no good reason
why a white man in China should
be hooked upon as superior to the
natives; just as there is no good
reason why Negroes in the United
States should not be given equal
protection under the law.

Here
and
There
By W. M. Smith


This is the time Of the year when
my dog occupies the center of the
stage.
There is very definite connec-
ton between the 4th of July and
my canine friend. ! wouldn't want
to give the impression that / think
of my dog or of the 4th of July
only this once in the year. That
is far from being true. But just
now when our thoughts turn auto
matically to the day we celebrate
with so much of enthusiasm, mine
turns to my dog who has so close
a connection with that day.
You see Pupskin, that's my dog,
who is now IL years old, has a
definite antagonism for this day.
Many years ago when he was
only a puppy, the boys of my neigh
borhood had lots of fun soaring
him with fire crackers and the like
to keep him from running away.
I rather encouraged the boys be-
cause I didn't want my puppy to
run away and probably get lost.
A year from that day when the
4th of July came round again
Pupskin remembering his expert
ence of the year before showed a
recurrence of his old fear of that
day. / couldn't get him to follow
me into the street. He seemed to
feel that every frecracker was be-
ing fired at him and he refused to
expose himself.
I only laughed that first year.
But each year since he has grown
worse. I have had reason to regret
most deeply that I allowed the boys
to tease him as they did, and / have
had every reason to regret that UNI
thinkingly I allowed the fear to
grow in my dogs mind.
And now he has grown old.
Twelve years is old for a dog. 1
hate to see dog who is so fine in
his companionship grow to fear the
day which so many of his friends
regard as one of the finest in
Tnericon hictoTU
In 1776 the thirteen original
states of the Union severed their
allegiance to the mother country,
Great Britain, and formed the
United States of America.
For hundred and seventy odd
years this action has remained the
outstanding one in its history.
We celebrate the day, with ora
tory and the noice of fire crackers.
For many years hundreds of
American citizens celebrate this
day of days with the noise that
really interests only carefree young
America.
But older and thinking America
connects this day with it's origin in
1776, when freedom of the Ameri-
can people really began. 1 cannot
cease regretting that my dog, as
fine an American as 1 know, can
not enjoy the day as he should.

ers, protested to the unions In
ternational Executive Board today
against its action in sharply cur
failing the U. A. w. heads powers.
The protests came from commit
tees representing several hundred
Martin supporters who besieged the
union headquarters yesterday. Their
appearance before the board today
was peaceful, in sharp contrast with
the siege of yesterday when they
jammed stairways and corridors and
took one door from its hinges in
the effort to get into the union
of1ices.
The board, Overwhelmingly anti
Martin, gave no indication it was
swayed by the protests. It made
public resolution it said had been
adopted by two Detroit U. A. w.
locals Of tool and die workers, ask
ing Mr.. Martins impeachment. The
resolution charged the U. A. w.
president with violating decisions
OF the board and asked that a spe-
cial convention be held not later
than May l for a new election of
officers.
Wants Special Convention.
Mr.. Martin already has before
the board a proposal for a special
convention to be held before March
l. He said today he would press
his proposal as the only feasible
method of settling, by membership
vote, the factional differences which
have split the union. Martin has
threatened to appeal directly to
the membership if his proposal is
rejected.
The Martin supporters who forced
their way into the union head
quarters yesterday afternoon left
only after the Executive Board had
promised to receive three commit
tees today.
The first of the committees, rep
resenting Ford Local No. 600, is
sued statement after its confer
ence with the board disputing
charges by board members of secret
dealings between Martin and Harry
H. Bennett, Ford Motor Co. per-
sonnel director.
Action Of Board Members Hit.
"The Ford workers have been
fully acquainted with what has been
going on between President Martin
and the Ford Motor Co.," the state
ment said. The Ford workers are
100 per cent in accord with Presi-
dent Martins endeavors to estab-
lish amicable relationships between
the U. A. w. and the Ford Motor
Co. They deplore the actions and
groundless accusations of some
members Of the International
Board"
A committee from the Plymouth
local conferred with the board this
afternoon. It sought to have the
board rescind its reinstatement of
officers of the Plymouth local, who
were replaced a week ago by ad-
ministrators appointed by Martin.
A rank and file committee back
ing Martin is scheduled to appear
before the board Monday.
