Nye Warns OF
Step To War

WASHINGTON (CNA) - Sem
ator Nye, Republican of North
Dakota, warned this week that
passage of pending resolutions in
Congress to lend sec, 100000 to the
Helsinki regime in Finland for its
conflict with the Soviet Union
would be "a step toward war"
ANY step to aid any belligerent
is a warlike act" he said. 1T is
a step toward war;"
Nye's warning came as the Ad-
ministration prepared to step up
its aid to Helsinh in concert with
Britain and France which are op-
emily rushing bombing planes, tech
nicians and war material to those
circles in Finland which for the
past twenty years have collaborat-
ed with the imperialist powers in
making Finland a war base
against the Soviet Union. Presi-
dent Roosevelt said he was talk
ing over with the State Depart
ment the question of extending
further aid to Helsinki. Recently
the President assured the British
dominated League of Nations that
this government already had ex-
tended substantial aid to the Hell
sinki regime.
The real war motive behind the
concern of the imperialist powers
which viewed complacently and
even aided the rape of Ethiopia =
over Finland, was barred this week
with the sudden resignation of
Leslie Hero-Belisha as British War
Secretary. 1t was revealed that
Hero-Belishas resignation was
connected with a powerful move
ment in British government circles
for the creation OF q second war
front, directed against Soviet Rus
STA.
Hero-Belisha is understood to
have favored concentration of Bri-
fish war efforts against Germany.
His exit is a victory for those
forces which favor an immediate
attack on the Soviet Union. So
far have these plans advanced that
they are being openly discussed in
the British and French press, with
several papers expressing the be-
lief that an anti-Soviet crusade
would find favor among American
Tories and serve to draw this coun-
try into the European conflict.

Suit Filed for Redcaps' Wages

ST. LOUIS (CNA) = The Bro
therhood of Railway Clerks this
week filed suit in Federal Court
for $4,000 in wages said to be
due ninety-three red caps at the
Union Station here from the Ter
minal Railroad Association under
the Wages and Hours Law. The
Brotherhood declared it was acting
in behalf of the ninety-three red
caps. Similar suits have been filed
in various cities by the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Red Caps.
The luggage-carriers said they
had been forced to work for tips
only and commended that they had
the status of employees and were
entitled to wages from the asso-
citation. Tips, they pointed out,
could not be considered as wages.
The suit also asked an addition
al 100000 under provision of
the law that the amount of wages
found due by a court might be
doubled as liquidating damages.

Timely Topics

Youth The time has come
of Today when we should discuss
more fully those things that are
to make for future progress, and
especially the preparation of the
Negro youth for self-government
and the contributions they must
necessarily make in this field of
service.
The youth of today will be a
new figure in politics tomorrow.
His leadership will be confronted
with a task much greater than
ever presented before, which will
require thought and action based
on honesty, courage and intelli-
gence, of high caliber.
Thus must he be prepared and
possessed with sufficient know
ledge and interest, not only to par
ticipate in discussion, but also to
assist in constructing new pro-
grams designed for the good of
the social order of the community.
Such being the case, it is all i'm
portant that the average youth OBJ
tain as much enlightment in self
government as their spare time
will permit. Several organizations
offer forum programs covering
structure and function of govern
ment agencies and department and
provide qualified speakers on these
subjects tot enlighten citizens on
better administrator of tax sup
| ported institutions.
One thing upon which most of
us are agreed, is that there must
be a change in our mood of think
ing and living, if we are to receive
the full benefits of self-govern-
ment. This can be accomplished
by keeping the mass of our citi-
zens informed on civic develop
ment in order that they may form
adequate conceptions of our city,
and its collective services as es-
sential parts in a true economy
and welfare essential to all citi-
zens.
Unless this concept and ap-
proach is seriously undertaken and
accomplished by our young people,
we will continue to be denied ma
ny benefits from self-government,
and our progress in the commun-
ity will continue to be endangered
by the shifting sentiment of those
who are Indifferent and less in
formed, of the problems of the
community in which we live and
upon which we all are far more
dependent than the majority of us
realize.

Helena, Montana
BY HEX

Word comes to Helena of the
death of Mrs. Callie Bramwell at
Ypsilanti, Michg. Mrs. Bramwell
came to Helena during the nine
tess and was in the restaurant
business with Mrs. w. r. Dorsey
on Jackson Street and again in the
Grandon hotel. She was the widow
of Samuel L. Bramwell. Mr. Bran
well was one of several men
brought to Helena from the Feast
by Charles Porter Groves, who
attempted to establish city near
| his mine.
Tomorrow (Tuesday), the fight
in court is called for action be-
tween Logan Smith and the Rev.
Abram Hayward, over the possess
sion of Wilder Avenue Baptist
church. Mr.. Smith claims to have
purchased the property several
years ago from the Baptist Asso-
citation (white) and, up to date,
has received no remuneration from
the organization. When Hayward
took over the premises, during the
remodeling, he replaced the cor
nerstone with the name of the
Rev. Parsons who started the
building, with his own name, in
scribed on the new one.
The Pleasant Hour club met with
Mrs. Bridgwater last week.
The Rev. and Mrs. Grant were
in Helena and the reverend held
services at st. James church. At
tention was good. They returned
to Butte Sunday night.
AS far as sizes go, the Firms
are merely reproducing an old sto-
ry where a little fellow knocked
out big bully. Doesn't it say
someplace in the Bible that small
man licked a big buffer with a
sling and a stone? The Russians,
after many years are again taking
Finnish medicine in we'll defined
dosings.
Mrs. Davis of Great Falls was
in Helena last week demonstrating
for Buttrys, and was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Ingram for din
ner.
Bill Mundy is erecting a garage
on his lot adjoining his recently
built home.
The Rev. Abram Hayward is try
ing to assemble a chorus to sing
spirituals at the annual (white)
charity ball to be given this month.

affair of mine, nor will become
indignant when the Race is segre-
gated or Disseminated against. If
Negroes with frayed copies of Vir-
gil, Plato and Shakespeare dang
ling uselessly from their unadapt-
able hands are sufficient unto
themselves, and are content to rest
on their laurels, shall worry not;
for am a one-man CLIO (Colored
Isolating Organization). If Ne
groes want to promote segregation
by giving a Presidents Birthday
Ball separate from the other group
its no fuzz off my peaches; nor is
it any hair off my chest that the
Seattle NAACP is in one nell of a
hess. My ranting days are over
for I have decided to smoke my
pipe and let nature take its course.
My place with this publication
will be filled by some one capable
of doing much better job than
has been done. To that person
bequeath all that leave behind:
the pleasant association with, and
square dealing of the editor; the
cooperation of organizations and
public figures as news sources;
the bargain driving business men
and women whose ads support this
paper; the many invitations to So
cial affairs. All these things I
leave to my successor to use as he
will.
There are few things am re-
luctant to give up, but I can't take
them with me (nor have any de-
sire to do SOL. These things I shall
not mention here for know my
successor will discover them in due
time.
Whoever shall take my place
will find that the Northwest En-
terprise has unlimited possibilities,
for the Enterprise is essentially
part of the life of the Northwest
Negro. In time the Negro will
realize that public organ which
, offers free expression of race OPP
inion is a necessity and this
awakening will insure brighter
future for the Northwest Enter
prise.
AS for me, shall remain on the
sidelines as the number one booster
of a fine progressive organ while
the blows that must be dealt the
injustices heaped upon my people
shall come Straight From Another
Shoulder.
