Rumanla is waiting breathleSSly
for the next thing to happen"
From the latest reports from
various European capitals 1t appears
the assassination of Rumania's S
strong man. Premier Calinescu, was
not so much an act of revenge on
the part of the followers of Codreanu
as a possible diplomatic pretext for
Russia and Germany to intervene
in the country's internal affairs.
X
These reports indicate that the
ring leaders of the plot had been
in close touch with the German and
the Russian authorities across the
border. 1t is now fully expected in
diplomatic circles that either
Moscow or Berlin or both will once
more say as they did in Poland,
that because of chaotic conditions
in Rumania they are forced to send
troops to protect their minorities
his militaristic government.
There are in Rumania some 700,-
600 Germans; that is to say indivi-
duals of Saxon origin who have
lived in Pennsylvania for something
like six centuries. There are also
some 10000 Russians who lived in
Bessarabia at the time of the re-
annexation of that country by Ru-
mania in 1918. These minorities
are more than ample to provide an
| excuse for the Russian and German
governments to send troops into
Rumania. 90.
All reports from the Reich indi-
! cate that Hitlers heir to the throne,
Field Marshal Hermann Goering,
wants to get the whole Danubian
Basin into the Reich's fold.
It now looks to the German lead
ers as if this is going to be a very
long war-longer than even the Brit
ish and the French think.
From the military point of view
the Germans have succeeded in do
ing away-for the time being at
least-with the eastern front They
are concentrating their forces on
the Maginot Line
But there they are up against the
same proposition the allies encoun-
tered when the war started. The
Germans cannot break through the
Maginot Line any more than the
French and the British can break
through the Siegfried Line. It is
quite conceivable that Hitler will be
more prepared than the allies to
jeopardize the lives of half million
or more of his soldiers. But it is
doubtful whether he will succeed
even then. 1t is recalled that at
Verdun, which was just sand
fortress, compared with the present
Maginot Notifications, Germany had
several hundred thousand casualties
and did not get through.
What the cost of breaking the
Maginot Line would be is too ter
rifle even to estimate.
The attack through Belgium or
Holland is not child's play, either
The Dutch have an army of some
100000 men-all stubborn, sturdy
soldiers-and can open up the dykes
against any invading army. This
would render the German mechan-
lied forces powerless. An attack
against Switzerland is an impos-
sibility. The only way to get sue
cessfully at the allies would be
through Italy and Mussolini is still
neutral.

That Jacks Place
Is Told to Do Right

Jacks Place at the corner of
Fourth Ave. So. and Washington,
Minneapolis, which has repeatedly
refused TO serve citizens if they
happened to be of Negro ancestry
is now serving them.
Reason: Two business men, AL
bert H. Smith, tailor shop pro-
prietor, and Ellis Houston, a Min
neapolis barber shop owner for DO
years, went in the cafe and were
refused service. Jack Raid, the
proprietor, foreign born white
who has not even his citizenship
papers, told them he didn't serve
colored people.
Complaints of Messrs. Smith
and Houston to Hennepin County
Attorney COTS office finally
brought action.
Jack Raid was told by that office
that he was violating a Minnesota
law and that if he didn't quit do
ing so he faced criminal action.
At the last report Jack, who
speaks broken English, is serving
all citizens who asked for food and
drink.
Hats off to Messrs. Smith and
Houston, who put their talk into

1OOIA DSHSSL L Ne ". A, aCCenQed
by As delegates representing or
CARNATIONS totalIing over 5000
persons.
Reporting on the work of the
committee up to date. Arnold John
son, Executive Secretary, told the
delegates that while certain sue
cesses can be recorded, the extent
OF unemployment among Harlem
Negroes is so vast that the
achievements hardly scratch the
surface. He said that during the
past year the committee has placed
several hundred persons in various
jobs.
Taking issue with those who
predict increased employment be-
cause of the European war, John
son stated that the hostilities on
that continent viii not improve the
Negroes economic condition, and
that the struggle for jobs remains
paramount matter for the Negro
people. He declared that WPA lay
offs have greatly increased job
lessness among Negroes in the
community, and that with the
mounting prices for food the con-
ditions of Harlem Negroes have
been greatly aggravated.
According to present plans the
job drive win concentrate largely
on bread and milk companies that
do a land Office business in Har-
lem. Steps to include Brooklyn in
the drive were taken, and COM
mittee to direct the work in that
borough was set up. In respect to
those firms that have begun to
employ Negroes, efforts will be di-
rected toward getting them to in
crease their colored personnel.
A suggestion that the committee
consider broadening it's work so as
to effect joint actions with similar
bodies in other sections of the
country was voiced by the Rev.
William Lloyd lines who, together
with the Rev. A. Clayton Powell,
Jr., heads the organizations. DIR.
lines spoke on the work of SINH
lar committee in Detroit that is
conducting a like drive for the
employment of. their group.
"Only by co-ordinating our eff
forts in New York with those of
other cities can we move forward
and gain for our group those
things to which we have dedicated
ourselves"
He proposed consultations with
various groups throughout the ma
ton with the object of calling a
national job conference sometime
next spring.

defeating the st. Paul Merchants,
the St. Paul champs, by score Of

"All scores were made in the first
quarter. The rest of the game, the
teams fought in vain. Phyllis
Wheatley had several chances to
score, but couldn't make use of
them.
"Phyllis Wheatley will not be
recognized as Twin City Champs
because they fell beneath the weak
blow off of Bryant Square on Nov.

Champs of 81, 'S8, '39.
although they were hit hard by
losing six of their men in mid
season due to age and weight re-

handicap and succeeded in beating
