SMASH JIM CROW BAN AT
BRoNZ SKATING RINK

New York - (CNA) = Racial dis
elimination at the Bronx Roller Skat-
ing Rink, ON Third Avenue, between
Claremont Parkway and 172nd ST.,
this city, was discontinued this week
following determined fight against
the jim-crow policy of the rink's man
agement.
When a Negro youth was barred at
rink on the pretext that he wasn't a
member of the club there, while all
whites were admitted, a delegation, in
Guiding the Rev. Reeves, pastor of Mt
Zion Baptist Church, promptly pro-
tested to the management. The John
Brown Youth Club of the Youth Com
munist League asked wide protest in a
leaflet at the same time The manager
surrendered and Negroes were skating
at the rink this weekend.

Garvey movement rallied to its ban
ner thousands of Negroes all over the
world.
Black Star Line Scheme
Supporters of Garvey claim that at
the heyday of the movement in 1920
the U.N.I.A. had over 100000 men,
bers. Whether this was true or not,
the Garvey movement was undoubted-
ly the largest mass organization ever
developed under Negro auspices.
Money and members poured in from
the African colonies, the West Indies,
Guiana Panama and Honduras. Is
official organ, "The Negro World,"
was read wherever black folks lived.
Many colonial governments even ban
ned it, on the ground that it inspired
the Negroes to aspire for national in
dependence.
The greatest weakness of the Gar
vey movement was the lack of con-
structive, practical program dealing
with the economic, and social griev-
ances of the Negroes in their differ
ent communities.
Tragic End
After his deportation from America,
Garvey returned to Jamaica, where he
soon gave up his former radicalism
and made his peace with the British
imperialists Deserted by the masses,
who felt that their leader had "sold
out" Garvey came to London
He used to speak in Hyde Park on
/ PERRY-5 d
Sunday afternoons. But during the
Abyssinian war he opposed the em-
peror, Halle Selassie. This made him
very unpopular among the African un-
iversity students, who attempted to
break up his meetings.
. In recent years, Garvey gave up
public speaking due to asthma, but
continued to publish magazine, "The
Blackman," through which he appealed
for funds to reorganize the association
His efforts, however, proved unsuc-
cessful.
He also lost his case before the
!, | Privy Council, to recover possession OF
$300000 estate in Belize, British
Honduras, left the U.NI.A. by a
wealthy Negro, Isaiah Morton.
Garvey's end was tragic one.

MANNERHEIM MAY
RECEIVE NEW ROLE
Paper Suggests He Assume
Direction OF National
Fate In General

HELSINKI, March IL Up The
Important newspaper Uusi Suomi
suggested today that Field Marshal
Baron Carl Gustaf Mannerheim as
sumo direction of the national fate
in general" as we'll as continue as
chief of the nations defense forces.
This was the first public pro-
posal that the field marshal take
an active part in governing the re
public, but there has been much
private talk of this as an emer-
gency measure during the recon
struction period, now that the Fin
nish-Russian war is ended.
Nothing in our misfortune could
be more desired than that the COM
handing position of the field mar
shall would continue, not only in
respect to national defense forces
but also in direction of the national
fate in general" the paper said.
1--WE do not need a dictator but
we do need a communicated chief
who, by the power of his personal
qualities, is capable of thrusting
aside all political differences and
preserving the nations readiness to
sacrifice and its fighting spirit.
which in our heavy struggle has
come forth and which alone can
guarantee realization and C of
the gigantic program which lies be-
fore U.S."
The editorial dealt at length with
Mannerheim's efforts to strengthen
the country's defenses long before
the Russian crisis developed last
autumn and declared that events
had proved him right.
This was the general feeling ex-
pressed in many private converse
tons. There seemed no doubt about
the tremendous admiration and re-
spect of the Finnish people for the
man who also led their fight for
independence 20 years ago.
The only question was whether
the field marshal would accept a
broader role than that of comman-
der-in-chief. He has had many OPP
p%ortunities in the past to become
active in governing the republic but
never would accept.
In the present instance the ques-
ton has gone no further than the
newspaper suggestion and the gov
eminent, meanwhile, was busy
pushing reconstruction measures.
A new decree provided that all
grain above individual requirements
must be given to the government
with compensation.
