starts rolling. AS matter of fact,
the dark reporters just yesterday
deemed it wise enough to go and
ask him what his views are on race
prejudice. He said he is against
race prejudice and religious preju-
dice, but he SKINNED over it as
quickly as possible.
Well, it seems a pity for the Re-
publicans to waste all that time,
breath, and money when the Demo
Gratis will sweep Roosevelt back
into office again next November.
By that time Hitler will have over
powered Britain, japan will have
seized the Dutch East Indies and
as soon as the English are no long
er able to help China, Japan will
mop up the last of the resisting
Chinese and grab the Philippines
whenever they get the go ahead
sign from Hitler. That will be our
Munich. If we let them get away
with that Hawaii will be next on
their list. It looks pretty bad.
Don't forget, Mr.. Editor, that
you have a secretary and if you
would dictate few lines to her to
send along to me sometime, would
surely appreciate it. Joe Louis
figured that Godoy's. famous
crouch depended on two good eyes.
That crouch made quite monkey
out of Joe the first time, but
Godoy knew that if he crouched
too low and sat down fiat, then he'd
make a monkey out of himself, so
he had to keep one eye on the can
vas to see how close to it he was,
and one eye on Joe. The first
thing Joe did was to bop him right
in one eye and close it up, and
Godoy had to stand up straight and
look Joe straight in the face with
the other eye. Then, too, Joe
doesn't know that Chile is coun-
try in South America. He thinks
it's a hot dish south of the border,
and he kept hearing about the
Chilean so he thought they were
feeding Godoy Chilli between
rounds, or at least giving it to him
to smell =. and they say you can't
taste nothing, nohow, lest you can
smell it, so Joe thought he'd fix
that by busting Godoy in the nose,
and then he couldn't see, he
couldn't eat and he couldn't smell.
Boy, but he sho' could hug. That's
why the fight lasted so long. He
kept hugging Joe for six rounds,
and Blackburn was getting sorta
ashamed about how the fight was
going, so he remembered how mad
Joe was in that first fight when
Godoy kissed him, and he whis-
pered in Joe's ear and told him that
he heard that Arturo was going
to kiss him in the seventh round
for the benefit of the Finnish refu-
gee who wuz taking pictures from
the ring side. Now, Joe doesn't
mind giving a thousand dollars out
right to the refugees but when I
saw him at his sisters graduation
at Howard University, l learned
then that he doesn't like to kiss
nobody in public, not even Marva.
So that was when he poured all the
rights and lefts into Godoy's
mouth in the seventh when he was
saved by the bell. Which reminds
me, though, that I am going to
kiss you on both cheeks and on the
mouth, too, for giving me that pass
to the Worlds Fair.
Yours truly,
Uncle Bob.

In the past three weeks we have re-

gees who were supposed to be coming into
America in huge numbers. The American
Friends Service Commission, a Quaker
group, in the interests of truth sought the
facts about the refugee who has been adj
mitted to America. What this fair or
ganization found was put in pamphlet
form. The best digest of that pamphlet
to our mind was given in the March issue
of the NORTHWEST ORGANIZER" We
think our readers should know the facts
in this situation and we are reprinting
in two installments the ORGANIZERS
digest. This is the concluding installment.

The Truth About
Immigration of Refugees
to the United States

Editors Note: There are organizations
in this country who are constantly trying
to stir up strife among the various races
and religious groups. Up to two or three
months ago before Hitler took Denmark
and Norway, here in the Northwest anti
Semitism was on the increase. Much was
said favorably about Hitler's treatment of
minorities. Many seemed to think Herr
Hitler was justified. Also we heard much
about the influx of Jewish refugees into
America In New York certain interests
tried to arouse even the under-privileged
Negroes against the thousands" of refu-

The British Home Office has re-
ported to Parliament that the H.
900 German refugees who have en-
tered Britain have provided work
for $1,000 workers.
The London Spectator, on Janu-
airy 20, 1889, pointed out why this
was SO:
"In some cases whole industries,
or sections of industries, have been
transferred completely to this coun-
try. The whole of the valuable fur
trade of Leipzig, for instance, has
been transferred to this country.
The greater part of the present
leather bag industry now estab-
lished in England has since 1881
been built up by German Jews.
In Lancashire there is one
leather-bag business which employs
over 75O British subjects. A
G erman-Jewish refugee and his
family are establishing a fine fur
nishing-materials factory employ
ing forty British subjects, and an
Italian Jew is starting mass
production furnishing-fabrics fac
tory which, beginning with Ito
British employees, is expected ulti-
mately to employ about 1000.
Other firms are manufacturing
soups, delicatessen, furnishing,
lamp shades, electric equipment,
furniture. A silk printing fac
tory now employs forty. A
leather glove factory employs fifty.
It is estimated that the ladies'
clothing trade alone is responsible
for the employment Of about 1000
additional British subjects. One
effect of the transfer of industries
has been that firms in this country
who previously brought goods
abroad find that they can still pur-
chase from the same firm, but that
it has now been established in this
country.
In the United States
"No one can guarantee" write
the Quakers, "that more work will
be created in our country by the
coming Of these immigrants, as
seems to be the case in Great Brit
ain, but there is certain to be con-
siderable work of this kind Great
ed. A few examples must suffice:
zone German textile man used
to own a shirt factory in Germany
and sold his wares to South Amer
lea. Having to leave his homeland,
he has transferred his factory to
our country, and is employing
American labor to supply his GUS
toners as before.
"Harmonicas and accordions used
to be imported from Germany. Now
a refugee has set up a shop for the
making of these instruments and
American workers are making
them. A German firm exported I'M
til recently certain types of wool
hosiery to the United States. Now
the three refugees who had owned
this firm have re-established it in
Massachusetts, and are employing
80 American workers in the manu-
facture of goods which had been
imported previously from abroad"
To this list of the Quakers
could be added an example
known to the Minneapolis
union movement: that Of two
German refugees who came to
Minneapolis about a year and
q half ago, and are now OPP
Grating shirt factory employ
ing about thirty local men and
women. The shop is 1000

Wake UP Tomorrow
Morning

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Wake up tomorrow morning
With smile on your face
Your countenance continually is
expressing,
Whether happiness is still in
good grace.
Wake up tomorrow morning
Determined to be kind,
Don't start the day sowing
Seeds that are unkind.
Wake up tomorrow morning
With friendly word to say,
Your tasks will disappear like
lightning,
AS you do your work every day.
Wake up tomorrow morning
And if the sky is dull and gray,
You can inwardly be saying,
Appearances won't disturb my
day.
Wake up tomorrow morning
Determined in all you do,
To give the best, always resisting
Halfway measures, as they'll
never do.
Wake up tomorrow morning
Resigned to one holy end,
You'll never allow wrong design
ing,
To usurp what good can send.

7iE INCEST COMPLEMENT
That CAN BE PAID

Every now and then we have our read
ers say, 81 don't agree with all you say
nor all your opinions by long shot, but
you do make me think and examine my
own convictions more carefully. That IS
Just about the highest compliment that
can be paid US.
No person, no group. no newspaper
and certainly not this column can be
right all the time In fact, what is ac-
tually right and what is wrong often is
not known until years after the occasion
when people take sides and start form
ing conclusions. This accounts for some
people being slow TO actually annex Il
deep conviction. Aware that clrcum-
stances alter cases and that fairly good
grasp Of a subject and knowledge OF
the history of such matters is essential
to reasonably sound conclusion, 1t Is
often the wisest who are sloWeSt IN max
ing commitments.
Reminding the people that there are
other factors to consider than Just what
may appear on the surface is therefore
one of the duties Of an editorial column.
Another duty is to give readers our
best opiniOn-poor as ii may be. Some
times, the constant daily contact of news
papers with current affairs ana puDllc
agencies gives them an insight not avail
able to the lay public. 1t is an obliga-
ton that the benefits of such be trans
lated and passed on the readers. News
papers who neglect this oligation are not
upholding the ethics and high purposes
which newspapers should constantly
strive to attain.
There is a third duty-to do all pos
sible to stimulate public consciousness
of problems and to make people think.
Democracy's chief foundation is the
ability of the people to reason, and the
peoples desire to seek intelligent, sound
conclusions. The moment voters cease
to ballot thoughtfully that moment de-
mocracy starts down hill. politics starts
to become racket government becomes
less and less satisfactory, and civiliza-
ton, instead of moving forward, begins a
decline.
For this reason, we welcome disagree
ment almost as much as we welcome
agreement, and consider the statement by
anyone that we stimulate thought. Just
about the highest compliment we can
receive.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS2
If THEY ONLY KNEW

Far up in the mountainous. heavily
wooded hinterland of Peru. near the Boil
Wan and Brazilian borders, flying explOr-
ers came unexpectedly upon a little Eden.
Eighty white families lived there. For
25 years they had been totally out of
touch with civilization. They knew moth
ing of the war that is devastating Europe.
They had not even heard how the World
war came out.
They were just living there, working
and enjoying the fruits of their work,
troubling nobody, untouched by the
world. 1t is hard to recall any very
good news that they've missed during
those % years.
But into every Eden comes at length
the Serpent. These people were foolish
enough to ask the aviators to request the
Peruvian government to provide them
with a radio station.
Nobody knows when he's we'll off. not
even people blessed with isolation from
the world and its feverish madness.
