SHOULD REALIZE CONSEQUENCES

Surely they realize the dire consequences of
this not So subtle attempt to sabotage this nations
foreign policy. Never in history have black men
been led by word or deed, to betray their country.
This is certainly time to mar that spotless rec
ord.
The Republicans have already been charged
with being the party of the appeasers This charge
is supported by the fact that most of the big bus
mess men, who are quite willing to do business
with Hitler are members of that party
Partisan politics however, should be laid aside
during this emergency when both country and race
are threatened The writer chooses to believe that
Messrs Howard and Wilson have just been mised
that thev actually do believe the type of propa
ganda that Lindbergh is expounding; and that they
will quickly see the error of their ways and re
pudate this obnoxious lineup. -

Who is it that hasn't heard his description OF
Negroes as "halfapes' his oft-repeated intention Of
denying to the worlds black population chance
to obtain education of enjoying any OF the other
things that make life worth living?
And yet Messrs Howard and Wilson, ct al

carry them inevitably into the arms of this avowed

The writer finds it hard to believe that these

The Globe Trotter - By cliff Maekey

-Four years later in 1910 they were still against
Roosevelt and were out preaching the doctrine OF
Wendell Willkie.
Looking ahead, you see which way the wind
will blow in 1914. The Republican bosses have
cracked their whips, and the darker satellites are
rapidly falling into line The Republicans will
probably put Lindbergh up as their candidate on the
platform that he will keep out of war, that is
if we are not already in by that time In that case
indbergh will become the great missionary of peace.
Backed by unlimited funds the american First
Committee emerging the child Of the Re-
publican Party doubtless had little difficulty in
lining up this crowd Of black Lndberghs. The job
ahead of selling this Htler-endorsed program to
their followers, though, is certainly not one to be

Negro Students
Now Receiving
Scholarships
To Seek Admission
To University Of
Kentucky Glasses
By LEON TAYLOR

LOUISVILLE, KY. - (ANP) =
Negroes are anticipating show
down on the momentous question
of higher education for the Negro
as provided by the state.
A group of energetic leaders in
this city recently drew up plans to
inaugurate proceedings against the
commonwealth by first having
qualified students apply for pro-
fessional courses at Kentucky State
College in Frankfort.
1t they are unable to obtain such
there, and this state school offers
few, applications for entrance will
then be made at the University of
Kentucky in Lexington Admit
tance refusal there as authorized
by state law-will furnish grounds
for court action which ultimately
will decide once and for all the
educational guarantees of Negroes
as defined under the laws of this
state and by decisions of the su-
preme court.
WAIT TRAINING
According to a member of the
sponsoring body, "Our aim is to
obtain broadened fields for life
pursuits . We want all profess
sional training for our youth that
is provided for others by law"
Though a single fundamental OBJ
jective is sought, it can be attained
in only l of 3 ways as outlined
by the committee first, admission
to all state-supported schools with
out regard to race or color; second
appropriation of several millions of
dollars to establish complete pro-
fessional schools at Kentucky State
College in Frankfort; third, pro-
vide ALL necessary funds to en-
able Negro students to complete
four-year courses in northern in
Stitutions
The first method will necessitate
a repeal of the Day law which sep
arated races in public schools; the
second and third would call for
huge appropriations, many times
more than now apportioned in the
feeble and abortive gesture aimed
at easing over a troublesome bump.
NOW GIVEN DOLE
Under the present setup, Negro
students seeking course not offer
ed at Kentucky State are given
a dole from the state treasure, an
amount far insufficient to begin to
meet necessary expenses.
When the question of admission
to the University OF Kentucky first
came into prominence several years
ago, President Frank L. McVey
