Well, Bronson Dudley in "Set

Bronson Dudley is the son Of

resent the Indians" the Republican Of
ficial "has not brought the suit to

MENTATOR


New York, Dec, (CNA)-Arthur
Hale, news commentator on the pro-
gram "Confidential1y Yours" on radio
station sN0R, this week asserted that
aisices reaching "Confidentally Yours
show that Italy is finding Ethiopia an
expensive White elephant" on her
hands and would be glad to unload the
East African country if it could be
done without loss of prestige to Italy.
Hale commented on the fact that while
Britain and France have talked of re-
storing the independence of Czechoslo-
vakia and Poland nothing is said
about the restoration of ETHIOPIA to
her people"
Hale cited the shortage of coffee in
Italy as one of many indications that
the Italians had not completed their
conquest of the country. ut is point
ed out" he said, that in pre-fascist
days, coffee was Ethiopia's chief ex-
port, If Italy had conquered the
country, they certainly would be able
to have plenty. of coffee"

against resolution supporting Britain
in the irnperialist war and assuring her
Indian cooperation. He refused to vote

resigned in line with refusal to support
Britain's action in dragging India into

PREDICTS NEW EXODUS OF
NEGROES FROM SOUTH

San Francisco, Dec, (CNA)-A mi
grafton of Negroes from the Southern
cotton fields much more terrible than
that from the dust bowl was pre-
dicted this week at tn La Toilette civil
liberties committee probe of civil rights
violations
Professor John 3. Canning of the
Stanford University economics depart
ment said it will come when harvest
ing is mechanical to compete with
new irrigated cottongrowing lands in
South America, the Soviet Union and
Africa.
"When-not if-the migration out of
the cotton-growing Souh begins" he
declared, "it will be largely an exodus
of Negroes. If that comes at a time
when there is still large employment
shortage in the areas to which they
move, then there will be problem of
civil liberties, unless your committee
and other agencies can devise pre-
ventives and persuade Congress to
adopt them"
This country has seen many "hos.
tile receptions and unlovely exploita-
tions of migrants" he declared.
The two weeks old hearing have re-
vealed sinister details of the strike
breaking activities of the Associated
Farmers, Inc, organization of giant
industrialists in the rich farm country
of California, including proof that the
two largest contributors to the Golfers
of the Associated Farmers have been
the railroads and the San Francisco
Industrial Association.
The committee heard Sheriff John A
Miller of Contra Costa County blandly
admit that he was the father of a sys-
tenn of espionage and blacklisting of
workers guaranteed to end labor
troubles" on the big ranches of Cali
fornia.
Ignatius Mccarthy, another witness,
admitted hat he had sold tear gass to
San Joaquin County as agent of the
Lake Erie Chemical Company, and
then fired charges of it against Negro,
Mexican and PHILIPPINE strikers as a
deputized sheriff.

New York, Dec, (CNA)-Harlem
American Labor Party clubs this week
accused Alex Rose, ALP state secre-
tary, of ignoring the bona fide ALP
organization by the Roce clique"
1t is sad commentary for us to
observe that the State Secretary of the
American Labor Party, Alex Rose, has
seen fit to use the same old-out-worn
high-handed methods that the Repub-
lican and Tammany Hall have used on
tie people of Harlem for these many
Wars declared a statement signed by
representatives of six Harlem ALP
Assembly District clubs.
The statement charged that Rose
had attempted to set up puppet ALP
clubs in Harlem and had ignolcd the
existing ALP organizations which had
been created by residents of the COM
munity and chartered by the ALP.
Roses action, the statement con-
tinued, "is just a continuation of the
policy of Mr.. Rose to speak for the
people of Harlem without consulting
the bona fide representatives of the
American Labor Party in Harlem.
"The American Labor Party has
continued its activity in the Harlem
area from the inception of the orgaai-
cation, and we do not intend to stop
because of the disruptive tactics of
Rose or anyone else who will try to
establish clique that will use the
voters of Harlem as so many cats
paws to pull their political chestnuts
