CHICAGO lANP) Congressman
Arthur w. Mitchell Of Chicago will
be the campaign leader for the DEM
ocratic Negro Division this year, as
be was four years ago, according to
well authenticated reports prevalent
here this week. Mr.. Mitchell as re-
posted by AMP several weeks ago
has been certain of his assignment
since before the Democratic national
convention and is reported to have
his i ans well under way.
Julian Rainey, an attorney Of
Boston, one Of the big Faur's in.
1886, will have charge Of the eastern
headquarters which will be located
in New York City. Ii is expected
that Herbert Bruce, leader Of the
21st district in Harlem and Danny
Burrows, leader ef the 10Th district
in that same area, will be given
greater. power and Importance than
formerly in the making Of decisions
and the selection of personnel.
DR.. G. B. Powell, publisher Of the
Amsterdam News, will again be in
charge Of Democratic publicity. No
date for the active opening Of the
campaign has been set. 1t is not ex-
pected that the young New Dealers
of Washington will take much part
in the campaign because of the
Hatch acts limitations.

There Might Haze
Been a Catastrophe

One night last week the Palace theatre
narrowly escaped being the scene OF
terrible catastrophe. As the shows are
usually interesting and the fee modest
many people nightly crowd into this cen
ter Of amusement. On the night In ques-
ton a fight broke out in the rear OF the
theatre Someone yelled fight. The crowd
thought the cry was fire Within split
minute people were wildly running to the
lobby Women were screaming, and men
were yelling. The doors were jammed.
Folks lost their pocketbooks, keys, coats
and hand bags, while some women lost
their shoes One man was seen going down
the street without shoes A few people
suffered minor injuries.
At the moment when the main entrance
was jammed to the point OF disaster the
excited crowd learned that there was no
fire. but fight instead. # the place had
been really on fire death and destruction
would have had holiday, for IN attempt
ing to get out the crowd could not open
the fire exit. 1t was either locked or TOO
complicated While, with the exception
of one door on each side, the front doors
were fastened securely Why this was 50
this writer cannot explain. He only knows
that the people would have been doomed
had a fire actually ragged. II Dayton does
not wish a Natchez incident this condition

to offer resolutions Of regret after run

Thus, it has been since man first directed
his course towards the muses.! there have
been study, discipline and growth, all that
society might be more orderly, and men
happier But, after thousands OF years OF
this procedure men still fight, destroy and
kill. If they have shon Improvement in
any one thing above everything else it
most likely is in the field Of wholesale kill
ing. For today, instead Of killing cne man
with bow and arrow, armies are able to
destroy many scores Of men with one can

the hundreds. while poisonous gases NOV
them like grass before movers blade.
Such review makes one think Of Solo
mons observation that "all is vanity.
Alas, there is better way Of life than
butchering and killing. II is to find this
way that men send their children to
school The prayers of a sorely distressed
world today is that struggling youth shall
find this way and point sorrowing peo-
pie to d full and certain peace. So run
along to school children the light will
dawn by-and-by.

CGn III Be The Balkans?

People have been wondering what was
holding Hitler back in his fight against
Great Britain Recently the Balkans have
nared up with threats Of war Quickly
Mussolin and Hitler stepped in and in
sisted that Rumania must return parts OF
Pennsylvania to Hungary, from whom it
was taken by the Versailles peace confer
ence Following this order the peasants
of Rumania voiced rebelious note, which
now threatens to- burst into an open mill
tary rebellion against the orders Of the
dictators King Carol remains helpless.
Said he, There was no other course. 1t
we had refused Russia would have come
III upon us. Now we have the guarantee
Of the Germans to protect our frontiers
from any invader
To effect this measure Of protection
the Germans are disarming the 100000
Rumanian soldiers, and marching IN to
take I'D positions on the Rumanian from
tiers While this IS supposed to be for the
protection of Rumania one must suspect a
German ruse to guarantee to Germany the
protection Of Rumanian oil fields, for Ger
man use. In all likelihood the Nazis got
wind Of some British plot to involve Ru-
mania and confscate her oil supplies, 50
as To stop Germany. Now the Hitlerites
have nipped this brilliant plan in the bud,
thus leaving them free to hold off both
Turkey and Russia, while pushing the
campaign against England From this
opinion it would seem that the Balkan
problems have been keeping Hitler from
striking more directly against the Island
people.

What The People Want

ln recent newspaper conference. Wen
dell =. Willkie told newspaper men that
report ef the now disbanded war re-
sources board had opposed granting emer-
gency wartime powers to existing execu-
tive aud quasi-iudicial agencies This
report came from 4 committee headed by
Edward i. Stcttinins. Jr., who placed it
IL The hands Ut the President. who in turn
has kept il hid from the public. Now that
thu question 81 industrial conseription has
arisen the President insists upon consider
ing the report as an ancient historical doc
nment. too old to be employed in helping
70 frame the terms Of the cDnscription bill
For bringing the contents Of this report
10 public Mr. Roosevelt terms Willkie a
bad fellow. He says that confidential
document Of this nature should not be
placed before the public He further in
sists that Mr. Willkie betrayed the conf
dence Of those who placed the matter at
his disposal
Right thinking Americans feel that
Wendell Willkie acted in good faith, and
ald what any loyal American would do.
The conscription bill, in the form the
President wishes, would reduce American
business to serfdom, and eventual dicta-
torial limitations, which could not be re-
moved at the close Of the war. As Mr..
Willkie insists the American people are
used 10 the democratic way Of doing
things, and IN that way can do them best.
ANY deviations from this free course Of
life would lead to the very thing we are
struggling to avert. In this Wlllhie atti-
tude the people find satisfaction, for what
they want is leader who will not forever
star-chamber them. They want honest
and upright government. with no tricks
Every act Of Wilkes shows that he not
only believes in this way Of life, but that
lie is courageous enough to seek to live it.

Speaking Of national defense:
Several weeks ago this column con-
tanned the statement that the Ma
tional Deefnse Program was not
moving as smoothly and as rapidly
as it should and predicted that it
would not be long until criticism OF
the progress made would be heard.
During the last ten days there has
been considerable discussion, both in
and out of officialdom, a to the slow
ness in placing defense orders and
obtaining defense equipment. Viii e
attempts have been made to shift the
blame from here to there, the fact
remains thai the usual governmental
red tape has been tie real dete rent.
Business executives can be d afted
to serve their country in building
national defense, but they cannot ac-
complish real results a. ng as their
efforts are con,nl.siiy interferac
with by high officials and their orders
oountermanded or changed. Real
cooperation all along the line is nee
essary if the National Defense Pro-
gram is to move forward with rea-
aonable speed.
On Friday Of last week H.R. 944
known as the Truth in Fabric Bill,
or the Wool Labelling Bill, was pas
sed BY the House after more than a
year Of legislative maneuvering. A
similar measure was passed eighteen
months ago by the Senate. The new
legislation provides for the honest
labelling Of all fabrics and products
