WeIIes Victim of Trick
BY French, Say Germans

BERLIN, April 5 (P.-Authorized
sources took cognizance today of
Sumner Welles' denial that he had
looked at map in French Premier
Paul Reynaud's Office, insisting that
"Then he has become the victim of
an infamous propaganda trick by
the French"
A German spokesman yesterday
accused Mr.. Welles of bad taste"
in posing with M. Reynaud. then
Finance Minister, in front of the
map. Germans assert it illustrated
French aims to dismember Ger
many.
"In Germany we ask visiting
statesmen before photographing
them whether they agree to having
their picture taken," one spokesman
said.
"Ihe fact that Welles denies hav-
ing noted the map relieves him of
any stigma of bad taste, but throws
an interesting light on the game
that was played with him."

SALE ON SATURDAY

Omaha's Disabled World Var
Veterans will observe the twenty
first Anniversary of the Meuse-
Argonne Battle of the World wai
this Saturday. September 81, with
their annual For-Get-Me Not Sale.

to continue the rehabilitation pro-
gram and Jason service for the
prosecution of claims of deserving
veterans.
The D. A. ", as this organiza-
ton is commonly known, has a
charter of incorporation from Con
gress, and is, therefore, the offie-

disabled. 1t is composed of only
those World War Veterans whom
the U. S. Government proclaims
to have been wounded, gassed or
disabled by reason of their milit-
airy service. There are approx
mately seven hundred such veter-

In order to render an adequate
service for Disabled World War
Veterans, the D. A. V. needs the
assistance of the genral public,
and for that reason they conduct
the annual Forget-Me-Not appeal.
according to Adler Petersen. com
mander Of the Omaha Chapter.
"Our comrades hope that gratitude
for their past service will prompt
Omahans to respond generously to

helping the d. A. V. to help the
unfortunate wartime disabled and
their dependents by emergency re-
lief, employment and rehabilita-

al. They have been deceived, betrayed
and oppressed by Britain. No one can
question this fact. Great Britain has
employed the technique of divide and
rule.
But under British rule, Negroes
are, at least, regarded az human be
ings. In the British colonies, Negroes
are making some progress. 1t may be
show, but it is sure. While no one dem
les the fact that they don't get their
rights, they are more and more secur-
ing the right to fight for their rights.
In England, Negroes are admit
ed to the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge. Could a Negro go to any
kind of school in Germany? We should
say not. But even assuming that Ne
groes did not possess any rights in the
British empire, it would still be to- the
interest of the Negro people to support
the cause of Great Britain, because she
is fighting for the preservation of the
democratic system under which alone
Negroes can hope for the ultimate sta
tus of free men. England represe ITS,
with the passing C~zechoslovakia and
France, the only center of democracy
left in Europe. If England should fall,
it will constitute a definite threat to
our democratic order here.
This is why Negroes should help
Great Britain win, and strive for the
downfall of Hitler and Nazism. 1t is
enlightened self interest. Negroes
don't want Britain to win merly be-
cause they love her, but because they
love themselves; because they love the
democratic way of life and the status
of human beings.
1t is for these reasons, that it is
to the interest of America and the Ne
gro people that all aid, short of Amer
lea going to war, should be given to
Great Britain, airplanes, destroyers
and even battleships, should be given
to England now to help her win the
war. And if Great Britain is given
munitions, planes aid destroyers, she
will win.
If Britain win, it will be the great

THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN
by A. Philip Randolph

The Battle for Britain is III full
swing. Thousands of airplanes on both
sides are locked in a death struggle for
the supremacy of the air. The much
advertised blitzkreig of Der Fuehrer IS
striking with all of it's power.
But this is more than a battle Of
sinister steel birds of prey. It's a bat
tie of ideas, of PHILOSOPHERS, of ways of
life. --A
What does this Battle for Britain
mean to America? What does it mean
to the Negro? Does it matter whether
Britain lose and Germany triumph
This question can best be answered
by a question, namely, does it matter
if Britain, the last stronghold of dem
ocracy and liberty fall under the fury
and fire, death and destruction of MAJ
ism or not? The question carries its
own answer 10 a civilized and free peo-
pie.
The answer is, it is a matter of life
and death to democracy and freedom
as we know it. If Britain lose, demo
cracy and liberty lose. If Nazism win
a new slavery and barbarism, terror
ism and darkness will triumph.
If Hitler win, the black tides of re
action, tyranny and despotism, the cult
of force, mass murder and espionage
will not only sweep away the last YES
tige of humanity in Europe, but will
threaten our American system of dem
ocracy and liberty.
Under Hitler, NO nan is free. He
is the victim of fear. Men of indepen-
dent convictions and liberalism are
hunted, haunted, and ~harrassed, only
finally to end up in some notorious
concentration camp where cruel and
inhuman efforts are made TO break
their spirit and will. Under Hitler,
freedom of conscience, the right to
worship God according to ones o n
victions, is wiped out and the pagan re-
ligion of the primitive Germanic trib-
es is forced upon you.
Under Hitler, there is only one
political party. 1t is Hitler's party, the
National Socialist Party. Besides this
party, there is none other. The mere
expression of a difference of political
opinion with the opinion Of Hitler and
his National Socialist Party, means
persecution, imprisonment, and per-
haps, death.
Dictator is law. 1t is supposed tC
be omniscient, omnipresent and omni
potent. He CAM do no wrorSt He is
