Pun-Americun Union
louds Havana PurIey
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DR.. L. S. Rowe, director general
of the Pan-American Union, yester-
day described the "act of Havana
as giving notice to all European
powers that the American republics
will regard any transfer of Western
Hemisphere territory as menace
to their safety, giving rise immedi-
ately to combined and effective
action"
In a statement issued on his re-
turn from the Havana meeting of
foreign ministers, DR.. Rowe lauded
the session as distinct step for
ward in that great movement which
Is gradually developing unity OF
policy and unity of action of the
American republics"
THE outstanding achievements of
the conference are to be found in
important and decisive steps taken
to prevent the transfer of any
American area from one European
power to another" the statement
said.

Troops Assembling
In Louisiana for
Second Maneuvers
70, 900 Guordsmen From
Southern States Will

CAMP BEAUREGARD, La, Aug
3.-Thousands of Regular Army SOL
diers and National Guardsmen, NOV
ing in the modern manner-aboard
trucks and swift passenger trains
leave their home stations tomor-
row at daybreak for the second ma
neuvers of the year in this section.
Early this spring approximately
10000 Regular Army troops gathered
here for the largest peacetime con-
centration of its kind in the Ma
tion's history. Approximately TO-
600 more, from North Carolina to
Arizona, but most of them National
Guardsmen, will take part in this
latest maneuver. They will be in
two armies" the red, made up of
troops from Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, and
the blue, from Louisiana, Missis-
sippi. Alabama, Tennessee, the Car
olinas, Georgia and Florida.
After 10 days of seasoning and
training, much of it with new equip
ment just put into use in the Army,
the soldiers will move into the COM
bat zone August 16. A battle sched-
uled to last four days will begin
the following dawn.
Army officials have been secretive
as to actual problems to be worked
out, and foreign military observers
have not been invited to attend.
Mistakes made in the Regular
Army maneuvers in May will be
borne in mind by commanding Off
GERS when they bring their COM
mands into full battle.
One of the chief criticisms at that
time was that troops were inclined
to stick too closely to trucks, and
not deploy and fight overland. This
brought from the chief umpire a
sarcastic you can't fight in truck" !"
Scores of military trains will pull
In here between tomorrow and
Wednesday, when the bulk OF the
two armies will enter their training
quarters.

A Prayer of Thanks

Reprinted By Request
Dear God
A Race, on Bonded knee,
Brown arms stretched heavenward,
Eyes blinded by their secret tears,
unshed,
Sobs out it's thanks to Thee.
The sod,
On which they humbly kneel,
More oft has felt their tread
Light moving, swift, as though a
happy heart
Lifted each heel.
Father,
They do but act a role
Gay clowns on life's highway.
Their jests and mimicry in public
place
Do oft conceal a soul.
Father,
So bruised and torn, thru years
Of daily blow on blow,
1t fain would creep in secret place
to hide
Its venial tears.
My Lord
Their wrongs pass all belief,
Their manhood crucified
Each day; their bodies slain. All
Christ!
You knew such grief.
A hoard
Of ills are theirs, thru foes
That multiply with years.
But no-another time, another day
They'll speak these woes.
0mnipotence-
This day they do not pray
For rights denied, or acts
By laws, long promised them, to
right these wrongs.
Forgive our faltering tongue)
Remembrance
Of other days: a nations waif
From field and cabin cried;
And not in vain. That memory they
retain
Thank God for Faith.

Choir Renders
Handles Messiah
In Fine Fashion

One of the musical treats of the
season was the st. Peter Church
Choir's presentation of Handles
Messiah on New Years Eve Day,
December 81, at the church.
A crowd, reduced somewhat by
a funeral of a prominent minister,
almost filed the first floor of the
auditorium.
The choir which has, under the
leadership of Alyce Stewart, gained
in numbers, appearance and choral
excellence, did a remarkable job in
the singing of the difficult musical
arrangement.
The presentation was most pleas
ing both unsteady and pictOrially
and gives evidence that the st.
Peter choir is just about, or will
soon be, second to none in this area.

Churches and
Financial Reports

Members of St. Peter church of
Minneapolis received in the mail
last Friday a letter and a mimeo-
graphed report of the church's
financial income with receipts and
disbursements and balances.
In most business institutions or
any group handling sums of money
this report is nothing unusual, but
among churches such report is al
most unheard of.
Most churches have annual re-
ports, a few semi-annual state
ments but none in the Twin Cities
among our group that we have
heard of except St. Peter has Of
fered it's members a monthly finan-
cial statement.
Such reports and an operating
budget as has been innaugurated
by this particular church should
make it's members very proud of
the manner in which it's business
affairs are being conducted.
People like to know and they
have a right to know where and
how their contributions are being
spent. When they are shown
periodically in black and white
they will feel better anu coopera-
ton should be much greater.
Such systems also tend to con-
found those who do not contribute
and offer as their usual excuse the
insinuation that "all's not we'll with
the money" a stock excuse which
many who can afford to contribute
literally to church work and fail
to do so use as a smoke-screen.

HAILES PROPHECY

In 1885, Emperor Halle Salassie
of Ethiopia said, when his land was
invaded by hordes of Italian troops,
that if aggressions against Eth
opia, a small nation, were not
stopped by the so-called democra-
cies, that it would mark the be-
ginning of similar aggressions
against other small powers in Eu-
rope and elsewhere. In less than
four years the truth of the proph-
esy of the Lion of Judah has come
true with a vengeance.-New York
Amsterdam News.
Wise advice: Be strict on your
self but easy on the other fellow.
Ignorance and superstition put
the "rut" in truth.
Head work is a great deal harder
than hand work-that's why we
have so little of it.
Almost anybody will support
anything that gives him a salary.
Mistakes will occur. Even news
papers make them. Very often they
pay cash for them.

The Winner
A winner is hero in any land
He opens doors never before at his command,
Everyone loves to shake his hand,
And say they knew he'd turn out grand.
We all try to be winners in every contest,
But the Negro has to try and always be best,
And he must consistently hold first place
To win coveted honOrs for himself and race. -
Some successful people famous because of money
Have money to spend and every day is sunny.
Crowds follow them everywhere and they known,
For certain people always ready to seek loan.
Hero worship will be shown forever it seems,
Because it excites autograph seekers with dreams,
Who some day wish the may be done,
When they're the public's idol and have fun.
The winner takes all, is familiar call;
To be a winner you haven't time to stall.
Prepare thoroughly for competition is tough,
Play to win aDd success will meet no rebuff.
The Negro has to be superior for recognition,
Get first place in all competition.
A runner-up among means nothing for fame,
AS only the winner is recognized in hfe's game.
Endeavor to be the best, it's an important role
Let US have our first goal
The First Commandment and now realize,
That there's prejudice in Gods eyes.

1t is better to relax in comfortable

give away. Act perfectly at ease
and the first thing you know you

And when other people start 60

out and you are afraid 1t may be
the last. Remember, your young

at a reasonable hour. The chances
of his calling you again will be much
better If he isn't afraid that every
