In REVOLT

NEW YORK-Reports Of continued
Ethiopian resistance to Italian rule
reaching here by the slow course of
private correspondence were tardily
confirmed by reports in metropolitan
dailies. For months it was known to
colored news agencies that Ethiopian
tribes were keeping up guerilla war
and were arming themselves with
rifles, bombs and machine guns cap
tured from the Italians. On one occa-
sion Philippians are reported to have
routed an entire Italian division. The
Philippians are said to have increased
their forces to 100000 experienced
troops under the command of Berou,
former minister of war under En-
peror Halle Selassie. These troops
are we'll armed and prepared to take
the field with support from the Allies.
Berou fought in the Ethiopian cam
paign against the Italian invaders in
1885. After the capture of Adds
Ababa he escaped to Palestine and has
been there ever since.
Halle Selassie at the same time
sought refuge in Palestine and later
came to London where he still resides.
He never has abandoned hope of some
day regaining his throne.

and restrict the training and practice
Of their nurses and doctors. There
are no moral or logical grounds to
support the practice of race discrimi-
nation by any medical shool or hospi-
tall"
This was part of a statement by
DR.. Louis T. Wright acknowledging
the award to him of the 25th Spin
garn Medal at the NA.AC.P. Conven-
ton here last week.
The statement continued: america
can i'll afford to criticize certain Euro
pean nations as long as it continues to
mistreat in such fragrant fashion COL
ored citizens who wish to study medi-
cine and nursing. Colored doctors
and nurses have demonstrated their
professional competency many times,
and they are efficient in direct proper
ton to their training and education,
in the same ratio as members of all
other racial groups.
"The National Association for the
Advancement of COlOred People has
waged a steady fight against racial
segregation. SegregatiOnists, white
and black, have attempted on Occa-
siOns to spoil this effort by showing
immediate apparent advantages that
may be obtained if the cOlOred people
of this country would accept segre-
gated set-ups. | am sorry to say one
of our greatest obstacles in this fight
has been our own fifth cOlumnists."
We have been aided greatly, however,
nv ha YhIsa1fry
intra-racial elements by the COlOred
press, which has nullified most of their
activities.
"At this time of world unrest, it
seems fitting for me to point out that
the Association has always been
genuinely patriotic, and that it has
never supported Communism or any
other ism, excepting Americanism,
directly or indirectly. We have
worked to make America safe for all
Americans and at the same time may
say we will work equally as hard in
the defense of America-from exter-
nal attack. One might think that the
struggle of a minority race for social
justice would be of little importance
to the nation but if common sense is
brought into play this is belied by the
military history of the colored Ameri-
can. If the present world crisis be-
comes more acute, the minority group
that the nation can safely depend upon
is the colored American. His military
talent, ability, and unquestioned
loyalty are historic. On the other
hand, white Americans should clearly
see by this time that it is to their own
personal, selfish and national advan-
tage to see that he is treated with fair
ness and justice"
The medal was accepted by Mrs.
Corinne Wright for her husband who
was unable to be present because of
illness.
