height of international hypocrisy. In other words,
Britain can use Ethiopia now and she so proceeds.
Britain used France for many generations TO bear the
brunt of her fighting, and now Frace is no more, she
turns to puny Ethiopia whom she stood by and saw
~despoiled. She stood idly by and saw a cripple struck
down by a giant and offered no succor.
1t is this kind of spirit that has brought damna-
ton to Europe. 1t is this kind of spirit that will ever
make the nations mourn. 1t is this kind of spirit that
will keep this world with Hitlers. So we are %justifi-
ed in saying that the real trouble with Europe today
is that it has been largely ruled by a nation that will
use those whom she has betrayed. Britain is not in
terested in the restoration of Selassie's kingdom but
in the preservation Of her own hegemony. The REAL
TROUBLE.

The appointment, OF James "
9ellanca to the Civil Service Com
mission by Mayor Edward J. Jeffries
last Saturday was a distinct shock
to the whole Negro community in
Detroit. Negro leaders had recon-
nended to the appointment Atty.
Lloyd LOOMS. well known lawyer
who has served as assistant sttor-
rey-general and assistant prose-
.cuior.
Negro leaders who were in the
forefront of the campaign 10 elect
the new mayor felt that they had
been slapped in the face by the
mayors action. In a strongly worded
release made public by Senator
Charles c. Digs, it was stated that
"Jeffries has rewarded every inn
portant minority group that sup
ported him in the last campaign
with the exception OF the Negro
including the Poles, Jews, Irish and
now the Italians, who hsye less than
zen percent of the votes cast by
the Negroes.
The Civil Service Commission Is
the key to municipal employment
and the mayor himself has admitted
that Negroes have suffered a great
injustice at the hands Of that COM
mission. Other commissions such as
the Welfare and Housing, arc more
or less honorary commissions with
no salary and they meet once or
twice a month. The Civil Service
Commission is the only commission
OF the three that could solve any
basic problems Of the Negro, which
Jeffries had promised 10 do in his
