ENDORSE INDEPENDENCE
DAY CEREMONY OF COUNCIL
AGAINST INTOLERANCE

Endorsing the aims of the ma
tionwide independence Day Cere-
mony of the Council Against In
tolerance in a letter released to-
day, President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt asserted that the princi-
pies of tolerance and equality
embodied in the Declaration of In
dependence must be preserved as
"our most precious heritage out
of the past"
The message to the Council was
revealed by George Gordon Battle,
noted attorney, who with William
Allen White and United States
Senator w. Warren Barbour of
New Jersey is co-chairman of the
Council.
In his letter, the Chief Execu-
tive declared:
ut seems to me especially fit
ting that on independence Day we
should renew our realty to the
principles of tolerance and
equality forever embodied in our
Declaration of Independence. Our
fathers not only embodied these
principles in the immortal Decla-
ration but saw to it also that they
were written into the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights.
"These principles are as sacred
to us today as they have been to
the American people through all
the decades since they became
part of our national tradition. 1t
Is ours to preserve them as our
most precious heritage out of the
past and to transmit them invio-
lato to those who are to follow us.
Every sincerely yours,

Independence Day
Tuesday Julp 9TH, will be the
163rd Birthday of the United
States of America. Many Col
ored people have wrong ideas
about the Fourth of July. | have
heard many conflicting tales about
this day.
This year I have asked differ
ent people, "Why do we celebrate
July 4th as a holiday?" Some
have said that it was the day that
Negro slaves were set free. 9th
ers have said that Negroes should
not celebrate this day because it
was the day that our grand pa
rents ere put into slavery. This
is a very misleading opinion. The
purpose Of this article is to state
the truth briefly.
The first slaves were sold in
America about 1919, so slavery
began 1877 years before July 4th
because important. Until July a.,
1776 this country was under the
power of England. These Thirteen
Colonies had much self-govern-
ment but all of their national pro-
blems were settled in London,
England instead of Washington, D.
c. as they now are.
The English government insist
ed that the colonies should nav
taxes and obey all orders that
came from England, whether they
liked them Or not.
After much disputing and some
war, the colonies appointed a com-
mittee to draft a declaration of In
dependence which would state that
these colonies were free and in
dependent states
This Declaration of Independece
approved and adopted by the
Continental Congress on July A,
1774. SO this has become the
birthday of our country.
As a race, we were set free by
the Emancipation Proclamation.
January 1, 1868 which was 81
years later. We celebrate our
emancipation on different dates
because it became effective in
action only as different states
recognized the power of this pro-
clamation.
We, too, are American citizens
and it does not yet appear what
we shall be-" We are thankful to
be a part of the great and indie
pendent nation.

THERE WAS NO PRACTICAL WAY
Attacks, Perhaps; Germany Would Do Same
ENGLAND COULD AID POLAND

BY MORGAN M. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20
There's a story going around in
high diplomatic quarters in
Washington that Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain never con-
suited the British seadogs and
generals before he made a treaty
with the Poles to guarantee their
independence.
The best military strategists on
this side of the water had been
telling me for weeks that there
was no practical way for the
western allies to help the weaker
Polish defenders at the outset of
a great war.
Geography, military tactics,
and all the imponderables of
modern warfare required time
consuming conferences and time
consuming tactics, both on the
battlefields and on the diplomatic
front. While that time was tick
ing away, the independence of
Poland licked away with it-for
the time being.
Hitler Signs With Stain
Here's how the military strate-
gists discuss the puzzle:
l. Germany first assured her
self a complete buffer of neutral
states. The German army APP
parently refused to move for Hit
