LECTURES AT UNIVERSITY

Chicago, Nov. % (ANP)-A
group of specialists from leading
American universities has been
gathered at Che University of
Chicago to carry out cooperative
research upon problems of child
rem and adolescents, and upon
personality development in rela-
ton to learning. Among the
group is Allison Davis, professor

system of color-caste in Ameri-
ca upon The learning processes
and habits of Negro children, as
we'll as the differential types of
child training by social classes
within the Negro society itself

Most important development of
along time in our foreign policy
was the sudden scrapping, by
this government, of the US.
Japanese commerce and naviga-
ton treaty of 1911. Six months
notice, under ehe terms of the
treaty, is required to abrogate it
thereafter, if Congress wishes
it will be possible to completely
shut off our trade with Nippon.
Quickly as the move was made,
It came as no great surprise to
those who understand stern
Secretary Hull's high principled
theories of international morali-
ty. No man has a greater regard
for truth, justice and decency in
the relations of nations. No man
has a greater hatred for a strong
power bullying and destroying a
weaker power.
Obvious motive behind the
treaty denunciations is the opin-
ion that the implied threat may
be a strong factor in bringing
the japanese. 10 book. They de-
pend on us for a long list of es-
sential war and peace commodi-
ties. Some think that if we broke
off commercial relations with
them they would be virtually
ruined. And under any circum-
stances, we are in a far better
position to do without Japan's
trade than she is to do without
ours.
No one knows whether Con-
gress would sanction a trade
embargo aimed at Nippon-per-
haps it wouldn't, but the chance
exists, and Tokyo knows it. AS a
result. the State Departments
move has received general sup
port in and out of Congress, and
in and out of Administration cir
cles. Some think it brings with
it the danger of a japanese war
most think that possibility is TOO
| remote to be given much weight.

When, on the evening of Aug
ust 5, the weary legislators rang
down the curtain on the 10th
Congress of the United States,
after what an AP dispatch des-
.cribed as "a final furious clash
between a New Dealer and Adj
ministration critics within the
Democratic parry" history had
been made. And it is remarkable
history. For the 18th Congress
broke a Presidential grip over
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent that had held firm,
showing only a fsw moments of
weakness, for more than six
years.
In the views of moss COM
m%entators, business at large
should be gratified with what
Congress did-and with what it
did not do. New and bigger spend
ing plans wera roundly beaten.
Experimental" legislative pro-
posals died unhonored and I'M
sung in committee, and the few
which reached the floor of either
House were buried under an
avalanche of "Nays." A definite
start was made toward prevent
ing future government competi-
ton in the field of private enter
prise, and also coward limiting
existing composition, particular
ly in the matter of electric pow
er. By and large, Congress show
ed definitely that it wanted bust
ness recovery-and that It was
willing to do anything within
reason to achieve ii land was
eager to put the quietus on any
thing which seemed to sndanger
it.
Typical comment comes from
eolumnis5 Hugh Johnson, when
he observed that the debated
revolt in Congress against unli-
mited spending and congressional
insistence on its own Constitution
function TO say how, when, where
and in what manner public money
shall be spenR should not be
regarded as a peeyish %reprisal
against the President, but as "a
general recognition that for the
past 6 one-third years we have
been in a process of silent revo-
tuition toward personalized gov
ernment." And, he added, some
of Congress acts ARE the most
hopeful signs of a real return to
prosperity and employment that

Why Crystal Bird
Fauset Quit


Philadelphia, Nov. % (ANP)-
News thai Crystal Bird Fauset,
first colored woman TO be elected
to a state legislature in USA,
had resigned her seat in the
Pennsylvania law-making body,
was a great shock TO this city
and still has it confused, as can
be recognized from the comments
on the streets and in YMCA and
YWCA Hobbies.
Everyone seems to feel that
Mrs. Fausett had an opportunity
to use the state legislature job
as a stepping stone to other and
bigger things, and that it had
great prestige valus-a value
which Mrs. F'auset was expected
for.
Other comments hold that the
silver4bonqued good locker had
orders from party powers that
bs (she's a Democracy and that
there is a Elk" somewhere.
Still others laughingly pointed
to the $4,000 pay which the new
job as state coordinator for WPA
activities carries with it.
But, despite the pay and the
political reasons limited, most
people were Inclined to the opin-
ion that at is hard TO under
stand
At this writing Mrs. Fauset is
out of the city. The one person
who has been her right-hand
companion, booster, and co-work-
er is Miss Alyce Anderson. Ask
ed why the sudden step-down
from the legislative job, Miss
Anderson said:
Mrs. Fauset spent several
weeks thinking over this change.
She recognized what the legis-
lativa job could mean to her,
personally, but she also saw that
she could hope to do little in
carrying out the program of her
party and her own, as long as
the legislature was Republican.
"Finally, she came to the deci-
sion that, in The legislature, she
was looking out for Crystal
Bird Fauset, but in this new
job, she would have an oppor-
tunity to say a word and look
after the interests of Negroes
all over the state who need WPA
on are served by WPA. These
people have not had a friend in
court all these years. To serve
this greater u is her eason
Tor leaving the legislature.
Miss Anderson did not speak
as the official spokesman Il
Miss Fauset, but her opinion
seems to be nearest that which
Mrs. Fauset would give herself.
Long before the legislator had
come into political leadership,
Miss Anderson and she have
worked together building political
fences and making plans for the
future. Miss Anderson is the sis
ter of the celebrated c~ontralts
Marian Anderson.
