A Letter From
Arthur B. Langlie

Asked to submit to the North
west Enterprise his message to
our people, Arthur Langlie said,
II am very grateful for the privil-
eye extended to me of speaking to
our Negro population through your
paper. In planning my program
for the progress of our State /
have not been unmindful of your
needs, your problems, your am
billions, and above all things that
in every instance fair and impair
tial consideration must and will be
given to the people Of your race"
1T is our heritage to live in a
great, free country. In order that
it be kept free government must
be so administered that no group
of people are ever treated UNJUST
ly, and I am pledged to that pro-
gram"
I'VE can build this state so that
more jobs will become available
because of important industries
being attracted to us. We can
build this state so that living con-
ditions are improved for all of our
people, so that the opportunities of
education may be expanded to all"
Recently a friend of mine was
telling me of trip he made from
Portland to Seattle on the train
and of the conversation he had
with an elderly porter by the name
of John Baker. This porter was
telling my friend of how the port
ers had organized themselves, par
ticularly how they were admins
tering their own union so that
they, themselves, saw to it that the
men on the trains, both in the din
ing cars and the pullmans, rend-
cred to the public a service in
which they all could be proud. The
essence of that program was self
discipline and pride in doing a
good job. I could not help but
think as I heard this story that
these good people who conscien-
tiously serve the public have ap-
preached their own problems in
the true American way. My
friend was proud of John Baker
and his attitude. know that his
railroad is proud, and am proud

U.S. Justice Department Has Fought
To Protect All But Negro Rights

New York-Since the establish
ment of its special Civil Liberties
division early in 1889, the Depart
ment of Justice has failed to re-
veal single instance where this
newly created unit has taken ac-
ton in numerous cases where Ne
groes have been lynched, beaten,
deprived of the right to vote, and
bounded by the police according
to a statement issued here today
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
The statement charged that "the
refusal of the United States De-
partment of Justice to take any
action whatsoever concerning the
protection of the full citizenship
rights of Negroes, as guaranteed
by the Constitution and Federal
laws leaves no doubt in the minds
of Negroes that they are unable
to secure the same type of JUS
tice as other American citizens
from the present Justice Depart
ment.
1.-THE Department has been over
jealous in fighting graft and cor
ruption, trust-busting, and in at
lacking other types of federal
crimes, but it has studiously avoid
crimes, but it has studiously avoid
ed cases involving the violation of
the rights of Negroes protected
by the Federal Constitution.
1.-THE right of Negroes to register
and vote in Federal elections is
one of the rights protected by the
Federal Constitution

from Berlin to Rome. His part in all
this peace-seeking is shadowy.
It is known that Russia refused
Finland an armistice until her peace
terms are accepted. but no one would
confirm reports that she had re-
duced those terms to demands for
only q part Of the Kareian Isthmus
and a secondary naval base at the
mouth of the Gulf of Finland
Previously she also claimed Viipuri
and the Finnish Gibraltar" at
Hanko.
Moscow offered no explanation of
conferences between United States
Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt
Soviet Premier Vyachesloff Molo-
toff and the Swedish Minister to
Russia, but in Washington Secre-
tary Hull said Mr.. Steinhardt had
made a factual summation to the
State Department of the Russian
Finnish situation and had had
nothing to say about mediation. &
Tho Firms themselves, exerting al
their energies in resisting Soviet
armies which have won foothold on
the northern coast Of the Cult OF
Finland west Of Viipuri. were glumly
silent about peace prospects.
Those in Britain who favor mill
tary Intervention in Finland find the
war Office their biggest barrier. The
military chieftians feel they can
not be expected to divert troops

from training camps in England for
a Finnish adventure" especially
when we are faced by 800 German
divisions" as one well-informed per-
son put it.
There Is, however, great popular
clamor in England for such inter-
vention. Even in circles close to
the foreign office, 1t is frequently
pointed out that French action in
regard to Finland has far out
stripped British diplomacy.
Moreover, it is believed in Lon
don that the French attitude to-
ward Sweden and Norway borders
on definite antagonism. These coun-
tries. fearful Of their own direct in
volvement in war, have shied away
from sending real armies to help
Finland.
French leadership in dispatching
an expeditionary force to the north,
perhaps by sea to the Finnish coast,
might mollify British military op-
position to full-dress intervention.
Assured that France would furnish
most Of the troops, conveyed and
conveyed by British transports and
destroyers, military men here prob
ably would look on the Adventure"
IN q more favorable light. -.

A boisterous, frigid March wind
romped devastatingly yesterday with
score of boy-made kites a group
Of youngsters, members of the Boys
Kite Club of the Georgetown Chill
dren's House, tried to fly on the
Georgetown University campus.
The casualty list-to the kites
was pretty high, but the boys who
saw them vanish or disintegrate
vowed to build others as good or
better. And everybody had a good
time.
One lad, who stood empty-handed
and disconsolate. with chattering
teeth, was asked what had hap
pened to his kite.
II don't know" he said. 1T has

The event was scheduled as trial
flights" for the Boys Kite Club,
and 1t was just that.
The boys, under the expert in
struction of Miss Pherne Miller,
teacher Of arts and crafts at the
Children's House, had exercised
their ingenuity on their favorite
prey Of the wind. There were flam-
boyant and subdued designs-eagles,
shields Of the United States, flags,
symbols Of flight. One boy had
made butterfly, tail and all, and
another q realistic green turtle. But
they were all the same to the wind.
Some simply disappeared. others
were tossed out in the young gale
and found broken. Still others were
caught In trees. A few escaped.
The playful wind would pause
decept.yely and one Of the kiters
would ease his flyer out. Then the
March vixen would turn on the
power, jerking the cord out Of the
boys hands and taking the kite
no one knew where. The shattered
remnants Of some were deposited
ironically at the feet of their young
masters.
Miss Miller was there to help
her charges fly their creations
Wind was needed for the occasion
she pointed out, but, after all, any
thing could be overdone.

McNuh Says Jobless
Pay for Ball Players
Is Up 10 States
Recent Incidents Received
Undue Attention. He
Writes Tobey

The question Of whether baseball
players are entitled to unemploy-
ment compensation during the off
season is a matter for the States
to decide, Paul v. McNutt, Federal
security administrator, wrote yes
terday in letter to Senator Tobey,
Republican, Of New Hampshire. Re
observed that the matter has per-
haps received attention dispropor-
tionate to its importance"
The McNutt letter pointed out
that an unemployment compensa-
ton system, like other types Of
social insurance, is adjusted to the
average need and no individual
needs or means test Is imposed. As
for Mr.. McNutt's own point Of view
on the matter, he said:
Some players drawing large sal
aries, especially those in the major
leagues, may have unconscionably
claimed benefits for periods in which
they are not normally employed
But, as reported by the press, play
ers employed by clubs in the lower
classifications at times have a SAL
ary limit which Is less than that
of the average factory worker"
Michigan Decision Cited.
The letter called Senator Tobey'a
attention to decision in Michigan
which allowed the compensation for
a minor league player after it was
brought out that he received only
500 month in wages for playing
baseball-"barely q living wage,
the Michigan unemployment COM
pensation board declared, "for those
months during which he Is actually
playing ball and performing some
service for the baseball company
THE problem of baseball players,
Mr.. McNutt said, save those gen.
timely paid with respect to the en-.
tire year, does not differ essentially
from the problem Of workers en-.
gagged In other seasonal employ.

Lima DEMOCRAT
RACE FOR
OHIO ASSEMBLY

Fred Pease, 48-year-old World
War veteran who has lived 15 years
in Lima and first time candidate
for office, appears to be we'll in the
lead for the Democratic nomination
for State Representative at next
Tuesdays primary.
With 20 years experience as a
daily newspaper reporter in Lima
and other middle west cities, Pease
worked four years as an old age
pension investigator in Allen County.
He was fired" Jan. 1, 1910 by the
Gov. Bricker administration. Pease
claims he was ousted because he in
sisted on decent treatment of needy
aged men and women, because he
objected to the "red tape" that spells
delays and injustices to the old
folks, because he refused to obey
an illegal order to distribute sample
marked" ballots among pensioners.
Pease claims that order was illegal
because the State Civil Service Law
forbids political activity.
Hundreds of pensioners know
Pease as one Investigator who al
ways tried to give them a Square
deal". Charging the administration
of the old age pension system is
inefficient and soaked with politics,
Pease has pledged that when elected
to the Legislature he will do every
thing possible to increase pensions
and slash the "red tape", and also to
repeal the sales tax. Pease declares
the sales tax is not 3 per cent levy
but is in reality a tax ranging from
3 to IL per cent.
Pease is the founder of the
Animal Protective Association. He
is married, 4s years old, was born
in Toledo is a lifelong Democrat,
and owns his home at 7O3 Weadock
Ave-, Lima. Pol. Adv.
