THE FIRST LADY IN FLORIDA

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt enunciated
a principle of great truth when she
spoke last Sunday at the thirtv-fiftb
anniversary exercises of Bethune-
Goodman College at Daytona Beach.
Florida. She defined democracy as
follows: Democracy doesn't mean
having the same religion or color. It
means more citizens who can share
better things all the time. Every stem
toward giving more people a better
existence is step toward a more per
feet democracy"
The sentiment was, of course a
commonplace, almost a statement of
the obvious with pontifcate accents.
However, Mrs. Mary Mcleod Beth
une's enthusiasm is justifable when
one considers the place where Mrs.
Roosevelt uttered it. In Florida,
where reaction has been at the control
boards since the Reconstruction Gov
eminent was ousted and the colorad
people disfranchised through the multi
tcation of the 18th, 18th. and 18th
Amendments, the words of the First
Lady will be taken as radical, for thew

people: 1t is high time that the mean

our Federal Constitution and the Bill
OF Rights, was widely known AMONG
the people of Florida. The First
Lady has given the cue. On with the

nected with it by battering down a
jail door and kidnapping helpless

anti-lynching Federal law, a measure

"ARMIES WITH WING"
By James [. H. Peck, New York;
Dodd, Mead & Co., $3.50

Seldom has a colored author pro-
duced such competent work of gen
eeral interest as Mr.. Peck has done in
Armies With Wings. He served as
a lieutenant in the Spanish Republican
Air Force. He seems to have become
"air conscious" at the remarkably
early age of twelve, when he made his
first airplane ride, and his studies in
military aeronautics have won for
him recognition as an authority.
Mr.. Peck's book is a we'll written
discussion of the present-day impor-
lance of aerial warfare; it is for the
lay-reader rather than the specialist.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1940-02-24

Its language is simple, clear and con-
else, without employing any difficult,
technical terms.
Throughout, military aviation is
treated in its relations to every branch
of the armed forces of a nation. No
detail about the various kinds of am
munition or concerning the personnel
is omitted. There are some especially
interesting pages on the psychology of
a flyer whose duty it is to release the
throttle of bomber.
Attractively printed and designed
the book lack an index, which should
be provided in another edition. The
book is recommended as an interest
ing and Informative treatise on the
subject.

Fitzsimmons Returns After Special Work for
 Secretary Itkes

Colonization of Santo Domingo with European refugees appears to be progressing satisfactorily, ac- cording to Patrick J. Fitzsimmons of the Office of Indian Affairs who returned to Juneau on the steamer Denali after performing some spe- cial work in the Central Ameri- can republic for the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of State.
 The refugees starting life anew in Santo Domingo are mostly Spaniards, Fitzsimmons said.
 German Ship Scuttled
 During his months stay at Tru- jillo City, capital of Santo Domin- go, a German merchant ship was scuttled offshore and the crew went to Santo Domingo in life boats, Fitzsimmons said. The Ger mans promptly installed themselves in a farmhouse in the country and were farming at last reports.
 Fitzsimmons, who is Credit Agent in the Extension Division of the Office of Indian Affairs Alaska Division, went to Santo Domingo to investigate the customs receiver ship, which is governed by a con vention under which Santo De- mingo pays over a certain per- centage of customs receipts to apply on a $3O,000.0O0 U. s. loan.
 Life or Riley
 Fitzsimmons said he and his wife were entertained lavishly in Santo Domingo, given a large fur nished mansion and a limousine with a uniformed chauffeur. Tru- jillo City is beautiful, he said, with fine parks and modern build ings.
 Mrs. F'itzsimmons is remaining in California for several months visiting friends. Fitzsimmons has been Outside since December, part of the time in the Washington of flee and part of the time on leave
