NYE THRILLS HARLEM MASS
MEETING

New York, N. Y.-March % =
Castigating the President for re-
neging on his recent campaign
pledges to keep America out of
war, Senator Gerald P. Nye of N.
Dakota thrilled a large and en-
thusiastic audience at the Golden
Gate Ballroom in Harlem last
night with his criticism of war
mongers.
Noted as an outstanding Senate
Isolationist and exposer of the
international munitions trust, Sen
ator Nye Immediately won his au-
dience by his verbal shafts and
trenchant wit. He traced the
growth of the war spirit in the
United States from Roosevelt's
Quarantine the aggressors"
speech down thru the all aid to
Britain short of war period to the
present request for American war
ships to convoy freighters to En-
gland. This step he warned would
inevitably lead to a declaration of
war.
Preceding Senator Nye on the
platform was John T. Flynn, ma
tional chairman of the Keep Am
erica Out of War Conference, who
warned of the danger to the min
GRITTY groups in this country with
the repressive measures which
would follow a declaration of war.
He contended that war would lead
to Facism in this country and the
Negroes would be the first ones to
suffer from it.
The final speaker was j. A. Rog-
ers, noted historian and war cor
respondent, and author of Sex and
Race. Mr.. Rogers discussed the
discrimination against Negroes in
England and her colonies.

The soloist for the evening was

| provides for an exhaustive investi-

During the week of March 30
to April 6, 1871, these days and
nights shall be set aside as Nat
ional Negro Health Week, and
should be observed by every race
member. +.
Let US observe our own individ-
ual health. Let US then take an
inventory of ourselves to see if
we are able to run all way and
win the great fight of life because
we are fit. Jesus said (which of
you intending to build a town sit
teth not down first nd counteth
the cost whether he have suffic-
lent to finish it? Or what king
going into battle stitch not down
first and consulteth whether he be
able with ten thousand to meet
him that cometh with twenty-tnou
sand?" Many of the war-like vir-
tues such as physical courage, CO.
operation, endurance, and faith in
leaders are desirable traits at all
times. Plans for physical and So
cial fitness must be beyond the
immediate needs. Fitness must be
both physical and mental. Treas
on may occur among persons phys
ically fit, but never among those
mentally and spiritually prepared
as well.
Do not think that because you
are at home and not among spec
ial National Defense Groups your
health preparedness does not count
No man liveth to himself alone or
apart from others. What a man
does about his health may concern
his family, his business associates
and even his entire community.
There is no more profitable form
of conservation than the saving
and prolonging of human life, and
no more abominable waste than
that caused by preventable sick
ness and premature death.
The race is not TO the swift so
much as to the careful driver and
to him who holds out to the end.
Let us run the race this week with
momentum that will carry ur for
ward through the entire year,
making sure that Americas Health
is Americas Strength, and that
we shall not be satisfied with vic
tory short of the goal of national
health. Run as Paul i~nstructs and
inspires you; lay aside the hind
RANGES and keep your eyes on the
Guide, Christ Jesus, Who is the
Author and Finisher of our faith.
LET US Pray
Father in Heaven. help us we
pray Thee
To appreciate our bodies and TO
keep them
That Thou canst always find a
dwelling place there.
Keep us from sin and temptation
that we may not
Bring reproach upon ourselves
Help us through righteousness to
build our Nation.
Help us, Oh God, to be prepared
in body. in mind and in soul,
Not for war, not to kill, not hate,
But that we may have peace and
life, and love and happiness
for all.
And help us to run this race with
patience
Looking to Thee for Victory.
Through Jesus, we ask these
blessings.-Amen.

IS"SAINT" In new
CAPITOL MYSTERY
Popular Series Brings An
other Exciting Picture
of Arch Gunman

The Saint series steadily grows
more entertaining, and the current
offering in the popular group. The
Saint in Palm Springs" now at the
Capitol Theatre, proves one OF the
most exciting in the string.
George Sanders again re-enacts
the audacious, debonair gunman
who is the scourge of the police yet
the arch-enemy of criminals, and
his familiarity with the character
aids him in his usual top-notch
portrayal
The story deals with The Saints
efforts to deliver three foreign
stamps, worth a fortune, to young
lady working as a tennis teacher
at a California desert resort. The
stamps, which represent her sole
inheritance from her deceased
father, have been smuggled out of
foreign country.
The Saint encounters many har-
rowing adventures at the hands
of three gangsters who are trying
to intercept his delivery of the
stamps, and from the sinister
schemes OF a beautiful foreign agent
to recover the valuable properly
for her government.
Blonde Wendy Barrie is ideally
cast as the Palm Springs girl
whose unusual legacy causes all the
excitement, and she proves herself
an admirable foil for the virile
Sanders. Linda Hayes as the al
Turing secret agent also contributes
sterling performance and adds
romantic conflict to the suspense

more seen as Inspector Fernack of
the New York police; Paul Gull
foyle as a reformed pickpocket and

The law specifically gives the
President the authority to appoint

out compensation aides to the
government. There being hun
dreds of them, the task had be-
come considerable and continuous
since SO many are called in for
specific jobs and remain only a
short while.
There was one other drawback.
The Democrats said the President
was getting in too many Repub-

President was giving too many
jobs to party men in the business
field.
The President got ruling from
Attorney General Biddle that it
was his prerogative to delegate
this appointive power and imme-

hands OF the whole business.
