 in Rescue

John H. Wood, CCC enrollee sta- toned at nan Creek. rested com- fortably in hospital at Wrangell today while the story was told of the heroic work of fellow en- roIlee, a gasboatman, a flier and Wildlife Agent in saving his life.
 A week ago Wood began to com plain to Lowell E. Williams, his companion in a two-man camp on Anan Creek, about a pain in his side. They blamed it on the fried food they had been eating. Last Friday night Wood became serious ly ill
 Williams, alarmed, started out for help. He tried to take their skiff out of the creek into Bradfield Canal, but was turned back by tide and darkness. At 5 o'clock Saturday morning, he was able to get away for a long row around Wrangell Island.
 AlI-Day Row | Williams roWed all day and near midnight reached Olive Cove or Etolin Island, where he caught a ride by gasboat to Wrangel The distance from Anan Creek to Olive Cove is 24 miles under the best conditions, and Williams admits ht rowed far from straight course in his attempt to find help.
 Arriving in. Wrangell at ? o'clock last Sunday morning, Williams reused Pilot Tony Schwamm, who with Wildlife Agent Hosea Sarbel flew at dawn to Anan Creek.

 WASHINGTON Receptive Can- didate Arthur H. Vandenberg rates as one of the "big three" Republi- can Presidential possibilities pri- marily on the basis of experience in national affairs.
 Non partisan political observers here list these as the three major assets of the 56-year- Michigan Senator and editor.
 Twelve years as an able and conspicuously active Senator.
 "A record of progressive legis- lative achievement, much of it ac- complished in a period of heavy Democratic majority.
 3.-A first hand knowledge of Senate procedure that would be of 1 considerable value since any Re- publican President would have to deal with Senate having Den- ocratic majority.
 According to the same observers, -Stumping Candidate Vanden- berg has these political liabilities:
 His primary showing dimmed his prestige as a vote-catcher.
 2.-The possibility that because of his long time consideration a' a Republican presidential prospect he. may be regarded as shop. worn candidate.
 3.-The fact that the electora vote of Michigan is smaller thar that of Thomas E. Dewey's New York and Robert A. Taft's Ohio.
 Political sharps say Vandenbers still may have good chance a the nomination at the Philadelphia convention, June 24. If deadlock develops between Dewey and Taft Vandenberg will rate considerably better than an ordinary dark horse because he long was the outstand ing COP. prospect,
 Some adversaries have calles him an opportunist, say he playet safe by waiting for public reaction before taking a stand on certain issues. Friends say, He plans be fore he acts, looks before he leap and that's one of the reasons fo his fine record"
 Vandenberg doesn't have Roo sevelt's magnetism or Dewey racket-smashing background Bu he is well posted on the issues, ha good sense of political timin and is a keen. forceful debater. H has popular reputation as an in sistent advocate of keeping Am erica out of the European mess. .. He makes a fine platform appear

BATTLE FOR BRITAIN
By A. Philip Randolph

The Battle for Britain is i'll full
swing again. Thousands of airplanes
on both sides are locked in a death
struggle for the supremacy of the air.
The much advertised blitzkrieg of Der
Fuehrer is striking with all of its
power.
But this is more than a battle of
sinister steel birds of prey. It's a
battle of ideas, of PHILOSOPHERS, Of ways
of life.
What does this Battle for Britain
mean to America? What does it mean
to the colored man? Does it matter
whether Britain lose and Germany tri-
umph? This question can best be
answered by a question, namely, does
it matter if Britain, the last strong
hold of democracy and liberty fall I'M
der the fury and fire, death and destruc-
ton of Nazism or not? The question
carries its own answer to a civilized
and free people
The answer is, is it a matter of life
and death to democracy, and freedom
as we know it? If Britain lose, democ-
racy and liberty lose. If Nazism win,
new slavery and barbarism, terrorism
and darkness VIII triumph.
If Hitler WINS the black tides of re-
action, tyranny and despotism, the cult
of force, mass murder and espionage
VIII not only sweep away the last
vestige of humanity in Europe, but
viii threaten our American system of
democracy and liberty
Under Hitler, no man is free. He
is the victim of fear. Men of indepen-
dent convictions and liberalism are
hunted, haunted and halTassed, only
finally to end up in some notorious
concentration camp where cruel and in
human efforts are made to break their
spirit and will. Under Hitler, free
dom Of conscience, the right to worship
God according to ones own convictions,
is wiped out and the pagan religion of
the primitive Germanic tribes is forced
upon YOU.
Under Hitler, there is. only ONE politi-
cal 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
prosecutions, imprisonment, and per
haps, death.
1t is Of the essence of dictatorship
that the word of the dictator is law
1t is supposed to be omniscient, omni-
present and omnipotent.. He cam do
no wrong. He is to be regarded and
accepted as the paragon of all wisdom,
truth and right. And he employs force
and murder to compel obedience and
worship of his person and word.
But this is not so in Britain In
Britain, men and women are relatively
free. They are free to worship God
according to the dictates of their own
conscience. They are free to express
their opinion on economic, political and

MAURICE w. SPENCER

The Guardian staff were stunned on
learning the first of the week of the
death of Maurice w. Spencer of
Washington, D. c., who SO recently
had visited Boston. Though in failing
health since the death of his wife in
1897, he appeared when here in good
spirits and in fair physical condition.
A life long friend of the late editor
Irotter and the latter's family he
exemplified the most devoted type of
friendship, coming to Boston on the
occasions of all the family deaths and
taking active part in the funeral
arrangements. We share with his
beloved daughters in the profound
grief that his death has caused.

for the political party of their choice
How will Nazism affect the Raeel
Hitler's own statement in Mein Kamnf
is sufficient answer. What does he
say? He alludes to the black man a.

tator are not even all human. If they
are not regarded as human, it is logical
to assume that they are not entitled to
the treatment Of human beings. Hence
under the Austrian Corporal they
would be re-enslaved and put upon
the status of chattel property.
What of Britain and black menu
Now, we have no illusions about the
attitude Great Britain has maintained
toward the African blacks in partieu-
lar and the darker races in general
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, they are at
least regarded as human beings. In
the British colonies black Africans are
making some progress. 1t may be slow.
but it is true. While no one denies
the fact that they don't get their rights.
they are more and more securing the
right to fight for their rights.
In England, Colored are admitted to
the universities of Oxford and Cam
bridge. Could they go to any kind Of
school in Germany? We should say
not, But even assuming that CoIored
people do not possess any rights in
the British empire, it would still be to
their interest to support the cause Of
Great Britain, because she is fighting
for the preservation of the democratic
system under which alone Colored
people can hope for the ultimate status
of free men. England represents, with
the passing Of Czechoslovakia 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 Colored people should
help Great Britain win, and strive for
the downfall of Hitler and Nazism.. It
is enlightened self interest. Colbred
people don't want Britain to win mere
ly because they love her, but because
they love themselves; because they love
the democratic way of life and the
status of human beings.
It is for these reasons, that it iStoi
the interest of America and the Colored
people that all aid, short of America
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 NUM-
tons, planes and destroyers, she will
win.
If Britain wins, it will be the great
est blow which can be dealt dictator
ships, Fascists, Nazis and Communists.
