their Tenderfoot requirements and
are advancing towards the Sec

will be helpful to them in later
life.

en- his services. Mr.. Holiday
serves the Troop in the capacity
of drill-master and helps the boys

learning to drill, and though we
have been at it but three weeks,
we are progressing rapidly.

Mass Meeting

lNAooS HECCtuA
The mass meeting sponsored by
the King County Colored Repub-
nean club at Chambers hall last
Sunday was wen attended and
proved highly educational A COM
mittee headed by Prentis Frazier.
e. r. Chainey. Fred Bowman, was
augmented by the addition Of Ber-
nard e. squires, executive score
taIy Of the Urban League and At
tourney John Prlm. president Of
the n. A. "A. c. F. to investigate
candidates as 10 their qualifica-
tions. Despite the wide margin
by which some Of The candidates
faced the finals, the ardor Of the
| committee was not dampened.
The seriousness Of the invesu-
eating committee may be deter
mined by the following preamble
and QUESTIONABLE. and their request
that candidates address the mass
meeting upon the matters therein:
Emphasis Placed on Two
ISSUES
IN order to assure a more intel
ligent and wiser participation in
the Forthcoming municipal election,
the members Of the King County
Colored Republican Club have APP
pointed a committee to interview
and interrogate the candidates for
office with special emphasis being
] placed on the following issues.
] j In the field Of economic inter-
ests, we would like to know the
candidates attitude toward and his
willingness to endorse the follow
/ ing proposals: (a) That in the
municipal merit or civil service
system the Individual standing
highest on the eligible list be
i given the position In question
without regard to race, color or
creed, Cb) That, employment and
participation in municipal and ci-
vic activities be governed only by
need and ability without regard to
a patronage program; (c) That.
departmental heads, later to be in
/ charge Of the operation and main
tenance of various municipal divi-
sions, be chosen from persons who
are in accord with the two afore-
stated proposals.
4 2. In the field of civil rights for
all citizens we are concerned with
the candidates willingness to en-
dorse and accept the following sug-
gestions (a) The framing and sup
port of an ordinance favoring the
revocation Of the license, Of any
enterprise operating under a city
| license which refuses or discrimin-
ates in service on a basis Of race,
color or creed; Oh That adequate
municipality maintained facilities
for recreational purposes be pro-
vided in those sections and areas
now in need Of such facilities; Co
That municipal construction pro-
grams give precedence to collec-
tive bargaining agencies and labor
unions which do not discriminate
nor restrict membership on basis
Of race; (d) The endorsement and
promotion of legislation which
tends toward complete and I'M
lequivocal participation in programs
Of Insurance, real estate trans
action and titles and mortgage
and loan transactions.
These points, we believe are Of
such Importance, both immediate
and remote, that they deserve spe-
cial consideration by the candi-
dates in the coming elections.

Representative May
Forum Speaker Declares
America Must Rout Out
Subversive Elements

Representative Andrew j. May,
Democrat, of Kentucky, chairman of
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, spoke on the national de-
fense needs of the United States in
an address last night in the Radio
Forum, arranged by The Star. The
address was broadcast over a ma
tional hookup of the National
Broadcasting Co. and was heard
locally over Station WMAL.
The text Of the address follows:
BY invitation of The Washington
Star and through the courtesy Of
the National Broadcasting Co., I am
privileged to discuss tonight the now
vitality important question of ma
tional defense and how we may
avoid involvement in the war now
raging in Europe. This question is
of such vital concern to every man,
woman and child In America, and
they are all so anxiously hoping for
an answer, which in its final analy-
sis must find solution in the minds
and purposes of American states
manship, that I am happy to make
few observations.
Praises Presidents Efforts.
Our commander in chief, the
President of the United States,

ing everything humanity possible to

flcials and their military advisers,
with the solid backing Of the Con-
gress, Is forging ahead with all pos
| sible speed In the full preparation
Of our armed forces for our common
defense. Let it be understood that
we Of the Congress, and particularly
those of us who are IN constant con-
tact with the Secretary of War, the
chief Of the general stan and other
military chieftains, are under no
misapprehension as to the gravity
Of the situation abroad, or as to our
duty In reference to the full pro-
lection and preservation Of the life,
liberty and property Of all Ameri-
cans!
No people under the sun have been
50 blessed by a benign Providence
as have the American people, and
no other people have a richer hertz
age to protect, and with the never
failing loyalty and patriotism Of
Americans everywhere to inspire,
encourage and support your repre-
sentatives in Congress, there shall

task that lies before us.
So my first admonition to you is
to keep cool-headed, and be Of good
courage, as Americans always have,
and by the help Of God and the
wisdom of our statesmen, we shall
preserve, protect and defend our
liberties and our institutions. We
who lived and served in the
dark days Of 1914 to 1918, and par
ticularly those who trod the blood
soaked battlefields Of Europe In
those years, are not unaware as to
the horrors Of war, and we all hate
war and strive for peace. but
thoughtless is he who does not con-
template the awful fact that de-
mocracy and liberty under law are
today fighting as never before with
backs to the wall, while Commun-
ism, Nazi-ism and despotism are on
the march.
