Now about this charge of Com
munism" hurled at the Congress.
The writer is inclined to believe
that the smoke is all out of proper
ton to the fire. That the Congress
is liberal, no one will deny. This
column will even go so far as to
say that it is extremely liberal.
But the charge that it is the tool
of the Communist party is not sub
stantiated when one views the cross
section of it's personnel. One glance
at its makeup will reveal every
thing from an out-and-out Red to
a dyed-in-wool, rock-ribbed Repub-
lican. That the Congress accept
ed the hand of friendship as of
fered by John L. Lewis of the C..
l. o. is also true; but the writer
believes that the political signifi-
canoe of this gesture has been
over-emphasized. Negro labor is
just as eager to organize and to
better it's standards as is white
labor; and whoever comes forth
with gifts of friendship and assist
ance is going to be welcomed with
omen arms.
The endeavor to publicize the
"Redness" of the congress smacks
pretty much of the old herring
gag. Somebody wants to discredit
this attempt of the Negro to unity
his forces on the constitutional
front with the cry of "Reds!" But
it isn't going to be that easy, Mar
tin Dies or no Martin Dies. Upon
one thing, every Negro American
is agreed-the 18th, 14th and 18th
Amendments to the Constitution
are going to mean just what they
say, or somebody will be required
to answer why, and the answer had
better be good, too.

sage of resolutions, from President
Roosevelt down. Wherever it was

freely given; but neither were the
punches pulled when the Congress
was convinced that somebody had
missed the boat in dispensing JUS
tice.

exact status quo in this country
and he is going to use his vote in
1910 to reward friends and fight
his enemies
The convention also wildly
brought to light the fact that the
Negro vote is swinging far out
into an independent status. The
day when the Aframerican ballot
was a fixation in any certain party
is gone forever. Any party or can
didate that wants this vote is 60
ing to have to do a mighty good
sales job, and will be held to the
strictest accounting in order to hold
it. Independent Negro political
groups are springing up all over
the country, and are becoming eff
fective forces in their localities.

Col. Knox Quoted.
Defense
Continued From First Page.)

Mr.. Roosevelt was likely to send
Congress another communication
on the subject of compulsory ma
tional service for the country S
youth.
One compulsory service proposal
the Burke e-WadSworth military
training bill-already is pending on
Capitol Hill. Committees in both
houses planned to proceed with Its
consideration without awaiting the
Chief Executives recommendations.
Gen. John j. Pershing and Pres
ident James B. Conant of Harvard
Endorsed compulsory military
training law yesterday and urged
the Senate Military Committee to
favor passage of the pending BILL.
Two-Ocean Navy Bill Approved.
While the new defense program
was being considered at a White
House conference yesterday, the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee
voted to recommend passage of the
House approved "two-ocean Navy"
bill which would authorize 10 per
cent increase in the fleets strength.
Chairman Walsh told reporters he
understood that funds to make
start on this huge undertaking
would be requested in the new $5,-
O00,000,000 program. Informed esti-
mates were that $4,000, 100000 would
be sought for the Army and the rest
for the Navy.
AS the "two-ocean" fleet measure
now stands, it would authorize a
six-year, $4,000, 100000 construction
program to add 200 fighting ships.
There is also provision for auxiliary
vessels and $4,000 planes-or more
If the Navy Secretary deems them
necessary.
4 The Naval Affairs Committee gave
unanimous approval to the bill after
1t had voted, 9 to 5, to report favor
ably the nomination of Col. Frank

Knox, Chicago publisher, to be Sec
retary of the Navy.
Will Consider Nominations Monday.
Senate leaders planned to start
consideration Monday of Col. Knox's
nomination and that of Henry l..
Stimson as Secretary of War. The
Military Affairs Committee approved
Mr.. Stimson's nomination Tuesday.
DR.. Conant told the Senate COM
mittee studying compulsory military
training that "the threat against
us is not only physical" but is
against our entire way of life"
THE training of personnel" he
said, like the production Of instru-
ments Of war, is essential at once.
Under modern conditions it is OBJ
vious that we cannot wait to pre-
pare-we cannot wait for declara-
ton of war or the moment of attack.
THE passage of this bill would, I
believe, not only prove to any
doubters in this country the extent
of the dangers with which we are
faced and the necessity incumbent
on all ages to unite in the common
defense, but it would be clear sig
nal to those powers from whom dan
ger comes that we were alive to the
realities in this new world of force,
and ready to meet them. In so much
it might serve as a preventive of
war"
Grenville Clark, chairman of the
National Emergency Committee of
the Military Training Camps Asso-
citation, testified that the legislation
was designed to permit training of a
large army, but did not contemplate
that large body of troops should be
assembled except in war.
Supplementary Laws Held Needed.
In response to questions Mr.. Clark
said he believed it would be neces-
sary to have supplementary legisla-
ton to provide allowance for de-
pendents and to provide preference
in employment for individuals
called away from steady jobs for
training.
Under the bill man in training
would be paid SIS month.
Two National Guard command
ers testified that broad amend
ments were needed to the proposed
training bill to adjust it to exist
ing national defense programs.
Gen. Milton A. Reckord, Mary
land Guard commander, said that
without these amendments the Ma
tional Guard might be "relegated
to the status of a home guard"
He suggested that nothing should
be done by Congress to disrupt as
foundation the present Regular
Army, National Guard and Or
ganized Reserves.
Gen. William H. Haskell, COM
mander of the New York Guard,
concurred in Gen. Reckord's re-
marks.
Both men said they favored some
system of compulsory military
training.

The ship owners also obtained the
unions agreement not to press
jurisdictional claims over nurses,
bonded employees and like workers.
The settlement followed 10 turbu-
lent months of negotiation for a
contract to replace the one which

Unionists said, however, that SO
few points remained at issue that
it could probably be signed by the

Practically all points now have

Japan Urges U. 5.
'Hands-off' Policy
To Relieve Tension
Stop China Aid and
Lift Trade Pressure,
Spokesman Advises
Jy the Associated Press.

JSy the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July A japanese naval
spokesman asserted today that
United States abandonment of ''un-
warrantable interference with and
obstruction of Japan's policies on
the Far Eastern continent is among
the concrete facts and deeds
needed to relieve grave concern"
among the japanese people over
Acknowledgements relations.
Other American deeds" in which
he said the japanese would have
more confidence than mere verbal
gestures" would include:
1. Abandonment of assistance to
the Chinese government of Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek.
2, Lifting of economic pressure
against Japan.
Intervention Held Inadvisable.
Statements in Washington, he
said, show lit is not advisable for
the United States to attempt to
intervene in Far Eastern issues be-
yond legitimate bounds"
He added, however, that Japan
likewise is not in position to pro-
woke the United States Fleet and,
therefore, always has pursued pol
icy of non-provocation."
The spokesman also declared
Japanese feel the British are
deliberately delaying" a reply to
Japan's demand for closing of a
military supplies route through
Burma to China, thereby "aggravat-
ing" japanese feelings toward
Britain.
An informed Japanese source
said yesterday British note refus-
ing to close the Burma road had
been received from London by the
British Embassy here, but that Am
.bassador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie
was asking his government for final
instructions before its delivery.
Col. Knox Quoted.
In Washington, during questioning
of Col. Frank Knox Tuesday by the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee
Chairman Walsh said naval officers
had informed the committee the
United States could not successfully
wage war alone on Japan, and that
the aid of Great Britain and France
would be needed
Col. Knox, President Roosevelt's S
choice for Secretary of the Navy,
told the committee he had recon-
sidered his advocacy of a strong
policy" toward Japan.
